Chapter 14 I want to verify one thing: Is Bai Yuheng really her? ...
"Yes, yes, yes! She's a medical genius who grew up in a family of doctors! She's amazing!" Cui Mingcan wasn't annoyed by Cen Ying's slap and excitedly introduced Cen Ying.
Cen Ying rolled her eyes at him, then squatted down and touched Grandma Yang's feet.
"Oh dear, sir, this is absolutely not allowed..."
"It's alright, Grandma," Cen Ying said with a smile, stroking her as she comforted her.
"Thank you so much, young lady..." Granny Yang was flattered and overwhelmed. "I'm so lucky to have met such kind people like you!"
He Huilan had a chair brought out for her to sit on.
After a while.
Cen Ying stood up and asked, "Grandma, has your leg been injured before?"
"Hey, hey, yeah, I broke it when I was young."
"Haven't you seen a doctor?"
"Sigh," Grandma Yang sighed, "We don't have the money to see a doctor. My husband was cured with a folk remedy, but he can't do heavy work or stand for long periods of time."
He Huilan asked in surprise, "Then you came all the way from Luoshui Village to Furong Town, doesn't that mean...?"
She felt a pang of sadness and couldn't speak.
"Don't cry, good girl," Grandma Yang said cheerfully. "It's alright, it's just a matter of walking for a while and then resting. Luckily, Gou Dan and Mao Mao are with you, so it's not too tiring."
At the mention of Mao Mao, Gou Dan was startled and tugged at Grandma Yang's hand, saying, "Hey? Where's Mao Mao? Where's my Mao Mao?"
"Mao Mao?"
"My kitten. It was just following me, where did it go?" Gou Dan looked around, but still mindful of the many people around and dared not be impolite.
"It's alright, Mao Mao is smart and will be back soon," Grandma Yang comforted Gou Dan by patting his head.
He felt a little more at ease, but his big eyes were still searching.
“This is a bone-dissolving pill,” Cen Ying said, producing a bottle from her empty palm. “Your old injury is too old to be treated slowly. This pill will help with some repairs, but to truly recover, you will need to have your bones realigned and your leg healed again.”
"Alright, alright, thank you so much." Hearing that she could recover, Granny Yang was deeply moved. She pulled a patched-up money pouch from her bosom. "This medicine is precious, but this old woman is too lowly to need such good medicine. Please accept this money as a token of my gratitude for your help in treating me..."
"Oh, this won't do." Cen Ying refused, pushing the silver she offered back and stuffing the medicine bottle into her hands.
"I still have a lot of this medicine, so I'm giving it to you as an apology for the person who bumped into you."
"What... what should we do?" Granny Yang frowned.
"Please accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy!" Cui Mingcan said repeatedly.
At this moment, He Huilan also stuffed a money bag into her arms.
"Miss Hui, what's this?"
"This is your payment for the embroidery."
Grandma Yang, with tears in her eyes, repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
"You are all such good people, such good people!"
"Sister, were you performing magic just now?" Gou Dan, who had been silent all along, asked.
A pair of big eyes stared straight at Cen Ying.
"This is magic," Cen Ying explained with a smile.
"Wow! Are you all fairies, sisters?" Gou Dan's gaze swept back and forth between them, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Cui Mingcan bent down and patted his head with a smile: "I'm not a fairy."
Feeling embarrassed by being touched, Gou Dan innocently asked, "What's that?"
Just as Cui Mingcan was about to put on a grand act, the child surprised everyone with a single sentence: "Oh, I know, you two are the fairy sister's servants!"
"..." Cui Mingcan gritted his teeth and ruffled his hair. "Have you ever seen such a handsome, dashing, and talented servant?"
Dog Egg pouted, turned around and darted away from his clutches to run behind Granny Yang, sticking his tongue out at him: "You're not as good-looking as the other brother!"
Hey! You little rascal!
"Alright, stop teasing him." Bai Yuheng pulled him back.
"Fairy sister, can you teach me magic?" Gou Dan asked shyly. "I want to learn such powerful magic too!"
Bai Yuheng smiled and asked, "What kind of magic do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn something really powerful! Ideally, something that can beat others!" Gou Dan huffed and puffed as he threw two punches, looking quite professional.
“Hey! Kids fighting is no fun,” Cui Mingcan said seriously.
Dog Egg pouted: "But if I learn magic to hit people, then Ah Cai and the others won't dare to bully me anymore."
"I can teach you."
Li Tiankuo, who had been silent all along, spoke up, his eyes serious: "I can teach you a move."
Cui Mingcan said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't set a bad example for the children!"
Li Tiankuo ignored him and led Gou Dan to the side, with Cui Mingcan following behind.
Cen Ying is massaging Grandma Yang's feet.
Bai Yuheng withdrew her gaze and tentatively asked He Huilan, "Miss Hui, do you know Fang Wuyan?"
"..." He Huilan was embarrassed for a moment, then nodded, "I know."
"Oh? Do you know her?"
“I only know a little about her; she’s quite famous in Furong Town because she brews very good wine,” He Huilan said. “And I’ve heard she’s a kind woman who often helps beggars…”
Bai Yuheng could tell from the young lady's evasive eyes and the way she nervously twisted her handkerchief that she was not good at lying.
She clearly knew Fang Wuyan.
Bai Yuheng simply smiled and nodded: "It seems that Miss doesn't understand either. I was being presumptuous."
He Huilan forced a smile and gave an awkward one.
Li Tiankuo had finished teaching Gou Dan and whispered to him, "Practice hard when you get back. Never use this to bully or harm others. You can only protect yourself."
Dog Egg nodded earnestly: "Disciple understands, Master!"
"..." It was rare to see Li Tiankuo choke. He paused for a moment before saying seriously, "There's no need to call me master. I won't take you as my disciple."
Dog Egg chuckled: "Disciple understands!"
Li Tiankuo: "..."
“It’s rare to see Li Tiankuo like this,” Cen Ying said to Bai Yuheng as she stood up.
“Indeed, it feels a bit like a living person,” Bai Yuheng teased.
After saying goodbye to Granny Yang and the others, Bai Yuheng and her companions had to hurry and search for the demon's whereabouts.
Bai Yuheng smiled and said, "Miss Hui, we have something to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."
"Why don't you stay at the He family's house, Immortal Master?" He Huilan repeatedly urged. "That way, it'll be easier to catch that demon. I think since it didn't kill my cousin, it will probably come back again."
"Don't worry, Miss Hui, we will capture that demon before it kills your cousin."
He Huilan was taken aback, her face flushed, and she could only nod and let them leave.
"Yu'er, did you figure something out?" Cen Ying asked her, having overheard a few words while she was massaging Granny Yang's legs.
Bai Yuheng pondered and said, "This Miss Hui knows Fang Wuyan, and she may very well know what happened between Fang Wuyan and Gu Feng."
Last night, after leaving Yichun Tower, they asked around among their friends who were familiar with the recent murders: Wei Lai, Gou Ting, Yuan Zheng, Gu Feng, and Chen Quanhai. These five were their closest friends. Wei Lai had fallen to his death from the tower, Gou Ting had hanged himself, and Chen Quanhai had drowned in the lake for who knows how many days…
Only Yuan Zheng and Gu Feng remained. They split up and went to different places, but when Li Tiankuo and Cui Mingcan arrived at Yuan Zheng's house, they found no one there. So they headed towards the He family's house where Gu Feng was.
When Bai Yuheng and Cen Ying arrived, they happened to witness Yuan Zheng trying to strangle Gu Feng with a white silk ribbon.
That demon possesses illusion magic, capable of using people's greatest fears to bewitch them and make them obey its commands. Bai Yuheng is very familiar with this kind of illusion magic.
After the demon sensed someone's arrival, it dispelled the illusion controlling Yuan Zheng, and a strong fragrance gradually dissipated.
The two who were still struggling collapsed to the ground.
Before the demon general withdrew his illusionary powers, Bai Yuheng had already released the golden snake to track him.
At this moment, the snake pattern on his wrist emitted a faint golden light.
Found it.
“We only arrived in Furong Town yesterday. We’ll investigate the He family’s matter later. Now that we’ve found the demon, let’s go and capture it.”
Cui Mingcan was shocked: "So fast!? When did you find her? Haven't we been together all the time?"
Cen Ying exclaimed enviously, "Yu'er, you're so amazing!"
"I'll explain in detail on the way. Let's go now."
"Um."

"Uncle-Master Pei."
Pei Yuan nodded and walked into the Xuanshen Hall without expression.
A strong medicinal smell wafted over.
Pei Yuan frowned imperceptibly, looking at the person busy picking up medicine, and said in a calm voice, "I wonder what business Your Majesty has with me?"
Emperor Yuanguang did not raise his head, his voice gentle and soothing: "Immortal Master Pei has arrived? Please make yourself at home."
"..." Pei Yuan had no intention of having a long talk with him, and said while standing there, "Since Your Majesty is busy, then I will not disturb you any longer."
After saying that, he turned and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Emperor Yuanguang had no choice but to put down what he was doing and said helplessly, "You're still as impatient as ever."
"..." Pei Yuan didn't want to explain to him; he just had no patience for him.
“I once told Hengluan that you lack patience. Do you know what Hengluan said?” Yuanguang Emperor stood behind the furnace where medicinal mist was rising, reminiscing with him about the past.
"say what?"
As expected, Emperor Yuanguang smiled and teased him, "We'll have to use Hengluan to suppress you."
"..." Pei Yuan's patience with him was really running out. "The Emperor summoned me here just to reminisce about the past?"
Emperor Yuanguang smiled and said, "Of course not."
"Please sit down." He sat in the main seat and poured him a cup of herbal tea.
"Hengluan thought you were great in every way back then, but as soon as I said something about you, she got angry immediately. Her protectiveness was really surprising."
Pei Yuan pursed his lips. He disliked the way he talked about her. He felt that although they were talking about him, he was excluded from the conversation and felt like an outsider.
"Alright, let's not dwell on the past." Emperor Yuanguang could still see Pei Yuan's suppressed emotions, and got back to the main topic, "Do you know about the golden light emitted the night the Four Directions Mirror was stolen?"
Pei Yuan nodded, signaling him to continue.
"You stole Hengluan's magical spirit, didn't you?" Emperor Yuanguang didn't continue speaking, but instead asked about another matter.
Pei Yuan gave him a cold look.
“I know it’s you. Back then, the four of us gathered Hengluan’s magical spirit so that one day we could awaken her again.”
A magical spirit is a spiritual entity that a cultivator manifests when their cultivation reaches a certain level. It exists in two forms; even if the physical body dies, the spirit remains. It can be awakened by finding a suitable physical body, but if both the primordial spirit and the physical body perish, the spirit will also dissipate and vanish. Back then, they spent many years of their cultivation to forcibly condense her dissipated magical spirit, which was considered defying fate, and they all suffered various divine punishments.
But they could only gather the spirit of the spell together; they had no way to find her, because in the eyes of the world, she was already dead.
Emperor Yuanguang glanced at him. "We, like you, all feel that she hasn't left yet." His tone shifted, a hint of sadness in his voice, "But her spirit has vanished before our very eyes..."
The forcibly condensed magical spirit, lacking a soul, is like a lifeless, stubborn rock.
Pei Yuan suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and his hands, hidden under his sleeves, clenched tightly.
"She...she will come back."
"That's exactly what I wanted to say," Emperor Yuanguang said solemnly. "I suspect that golden light was emitted by Hengluan's magical spirit fighting against the thief."
Pei Yuan stared at him suddenly, then realized the crux of the matter: "You mean..."
Emperor Yuanguang nodded: "You still have that magical spirit, right?"
“…” Pei Yuan became unusually calm.
“If she really has returned, then that spirit should sense something…” Yuan Guang Dijun did not notice his expression and continued to deduce, “If that golden light really came from her, then it means that the theft of the Four Directions Mirror also had its benefits.”
He met Pei Yuan's increasingly intense and profound gaze.
“Yes, but not quite,” Pei Yuan replied.
"What's the meaning?"
Pei Yuan's eyes betrayed his excitement and madness.
"Before finding the right answer, I want to verify one thing."
Emperor Yuanguang was completely bewildered: "What is it?"
Pei Yuan smiled but remained silent.
Is Bai Yuheng really her?

He suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and nearly exploded and died.
But she was saved by a system called the Love System.
Xiao Ai: [Please claim your Love Manual, host. Let's find sweet romance together!]
Ying Wuyu: "Get lost."

He spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Gentle Xiao Ai smiles sweetly: [Rule number one in the dating manual: Be a gentleman and don't swear at girls!]
"..."
[Please see which romantic partner you need guidance on~]
"..."
Controlled by an unknown force, Ying Wuyu could only lie low, glancing at the delicate and beautiful woman who could be strangled with one hand.
Once he gets rid of this system, he'll slap this world to death.
The Demon Lord at the beginning: I want to kill you.
The future Demon Lord: (wagging his big tail) (looking at me expectantly) Don't you love me anymore? ...You didn't even smile at me today... (looking pitiful)
