The two fried claws from before also seemed to have disappeared inexplicably in the same way!
However, Mao Jiu was still disappointed. After Bai Jie returned, she went to the hospital to see Teacher Qin. But when she arrived, Teacher Qin was already asleep. Bai Jie glanced at the soul-suppressing talisman he had given her, which was still stuck on the back of Teacher Qin's collar, so she didn't say anything.
Finally, Mao Jiu left on his own. As soon as Mao Jiu was gone, Mao Shanming couldn't help but ask, "Where exactly did you hide my daughter?"
With a wave of her hand, Sister Bai brought Mao Xiaozhen back to life. As soon as she reappeared, Mao Xiaozhen rushed into her father's arms.
Seeing this, Bai Jie smiled warmly. After all, Mao Jiu was an official, and Bai Jie felt it was best not to reveal her secrets to him.
Moreover, Bai Jie felt even more uneasy about Mao Jiu, especially when he was so eager to take Xiao Zhen in.
After releasing Mao Xiaozhen and letting the father and daughter spend some time together, Sister Bai said, "Humans and children are different after all, even fathers and daughters are the same. Think it over, when do you want to be reincarnated?"
"I said I won't reincarnate, and that's final!" Mao Xiaozhen said stubbornly. Sister Bai frowned and said, "But your refusal to reincarnate will affect your father's lifespan!"
“Then I won’t stick to him all the time, I’ll just follow him from a distance.” Mao Xiaozhen raised her head, and Sister Bai suddenly began to like this stubborn yet incredibly loyal and affectionate woman.
After thinking for a moment, Sister Bai came up with a solution and said, "I have an idea. Just tell me when you want to reincarnate. Otherwise, you can stay with me. I won't be affected by you. And if you are encountered by other practitioners, they will definitely not let you go. Your father's magic power is too low to protect you at all."
"What level of Celestial Master are you now?" Maoshan Ming had been scrutinizing Sister Bai, and finally he asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Intermediate Celestial Master!"
Mao Shanming's eyes widened immediately, and he asked again, "Then how old are you?"
"Twenty years old!"
"What? You're already a mid-level Celestial Master at twenty?!"
Mao Shanming's eyes widened, while Sister Bai nodded silently. A storm raged within Mao Shanming; he knew how difficult it was to become an intermediate-level Celestial Master. Although he was a sorcerer of the Maoshan sect, he was merely a half-baked sorcerer in name only. Now in his late forties, his lifelong dream was to become an intermediate-level Celestial Master.
Although there is only one level difference between the beginner and intermediate levels, there are already few sorcerers and Taoist priests who can solve cases, and even fewer who can reach the intermediate level!
"Then how can you be sure you won't hurt Xiao Zhen? No Taoist priest or sorcerer is allowed to let the clawed soul go unchecked; this is a rule established by our ancestral master!"
"I'm not a Taoist priest from your Maoshan or Longhu Mountain sects, so your rules don't apply to me. I'm not affiliated with any sect; I just do what I want to do. Don't worry, your daughter will be fine with me. Besides, I need an assistant like her. I'll ask you one last time: are you willing?"
Sister Bai didn't want to waste so much time on the same thing. After considering for a few minutes, Mao Shanming said in a deep voice, "Okay, I agree. I also want to take a long trip. But because Xiao Zhen has been following me, I haven't had the chance!"
"Father!"
“It’s alright, just stay with Master Lin. Although I still don’t believe he can communicate with the gates of the underworld at will, at least as a mid-level Celestial Master, he has more hope than my father. You should stay with her. I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life, and you’re right, as a Taoist priest, I should do something righteous.” Maoshan Ming said with a smile, and Sister Bai nodded.
"It's already late today. If you want to leave, Master Mao, you can leave tomorrow."
Mao Shanming hummed in agreement, while Mao Xiaozhen stood to the side, pouting in grievance. Sister Bai subconsciously glanced over, but Mao Xiaozhen immediately wrinkled her nose and snorted at Sister Bai!
Sister Bai was speechless. She touched her nose and really wanted to look in the mirror. He wasn't ugly at all, so why did every woman, whether human or claw, seem to have a grudge against him?
Bai Jie couldn't understand it, but neither Qin Xuehai nor Mao Xiaozhen truly disliked her. One thought Bai Jie was a liar, and the other was sulking because Bai Jie had just hidden her away.
Just as Mao Shanming and his daughter Mao Xiaozhen were about to leave for a while, Sister Bai turned around to get a cup to pour some water. But as she turned, she suddenly noticed that Teacher Qin's chest was heaving violently. Large beads of sweat covered her forehead, and she seemed to be trying to get up, but couldn't move!
Chapter 26 The Talisman is Gone!
When Sister Bai and Uncle Jiu went to Chuaku'ao to become that old woman, Qin Xuehai told himself that he couldn't sleep.
Ever since meeting Sister Bai, Qin Xuehai had mistaken her for a fraud and repeatedly mocked her. But when he was possessed by the old woman in the residential area, Qin Xuehai sensed that Sister Bai could have easily eliminated the woman but refrained from doing so for his sake. Ultimately, she prioritized his safety, which left Qin Xuehai feeling quite uneasy. Moreover, he hadn't properly thanked Sister Bai yet, so he wanted to wait until she returned to express his gratitude in person.
Just as Sister Bai was about to return, she suddenly felt an intense itch in her wound. Following Sister Bai's instructions, she applied the talisman to her wound, and miraculously, the itch stopped immediately. But for some reason, she immediately felt incredibly sleepy. Even though she could clearly sense Sister Bai's return, she couldn't wake up.
