Chapter 538 A'Du
"You are...Adu?" Yun Qingqing looked at the reserved girl.
The last time he met this girl, she was taking Ling Yihan to the underworld to borrow the Reincarnation Mirror.
At that time, Yun Qingqing suffered a backlash and was temporarily blinded, and it was this girl who led the way back.
Although she had never seen her face, Yun Qingqing recognized her by feeling and voice.
When A'Du saw her calling out his name directly, his eyes lit up slightly and he lowered his head shyly:
"yes……"
Yun Qingqing asked:
"Did Lord Yan Jun ask you to come? What's the matter?"
A'Du's face became slightly serious:
"The underworld has been losing souls from the Book of Life and Death recently, so Lord Yan sent me to the mortal world to investigate. I hope to get help from Lord Yun."
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned:
"Lost the soul in the Book of Life and Death? How did you lose it?"
Adu explained:
"For mortals whose life span has come to an end, ghost messengers will go to arrest their souls. On the one hand, they are to guide their souls to the underworld. On the other hand, if there are any accidents, the ghost messengers will deal with them in time."
"According to the procedures of the underworld, the Book of Life and Death corresponds to the souls captured by the ghost officers. Occasionally, there is a very small difference, but in recent times, the ghost officers have repeatedly failed to capture souls."
"It was originally the soul of a mortal who had reached the end of his life and was supposed to go to the underworld. When the ghost messenger arrived, he found that the soul had disappeared and there was no clue at all."
When A'Du said this, his expression became more solemn:
"Even the Samsara Mirror cannot find out where those souls are, and there are more and more signs that souls are being lost. If the cause is not found out in time, I am afraid that there will be disasters in the human world and the underworld."
Yun Qingqing frowned:
"Even Lord Yan Jun's Samsara Mirror can't find it?"
A'Du pursed his lips, seeming a little ashamed:
"For the Samsara Mirror to exert its full power, it needs a very high level of mana to support it. Our Lord Yan does not have enough mana right now, so we ask for Lord Yun's help."
"...Okay, I will do my best to investigate." Yun Qingqing nodded.
Lost souls will not enter the underworld. This matter concerns the safety of all living beings, and King Yama has helped her a lot, so she naturally would not refuse.
However, Yun Qingqing felt something was odd after hearing A'du's final answer, and couldn't help but look at her twice more, but didn't find any clues.
A'Du met her gaze, lowered his head hurriedly, and said stiffly:
"Thank you very much, Lord Yun! That... Lord Yan Jun asked me to follow you and do my best to assist you..."
Yun Qingqing pondered for a moment and nodded:
"I see. Then just follow me."
"...Yes!" A'du responded quickly, seemingly relieved, yet more reserved.
Yun Qingqing stared at her for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Are you afraid of me?"
A'Du shuddered, his face flushed, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
“No, no! I… just admire Master Yun too much, and I’m a little nervous…”
Yun Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she exhaled softly, her voice becoming gentler:
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You hide yourself first, and I'll talk to you when I finish dealing with the current matter and come back."
A'Du nodded immediately and said in a low voice:
"Then, let me hide in Lord Yun's sleeve pocket first."
Without waiting for Yun Qingqing to speak, she turned into a beam of white light and slipped into Yun Qingqing's sleeve.
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment, raised her sleeve, blinked, looked at it, then laughed and shook her head.
This girl is obviously extremely shy, but she hid in her sleeves very quickly and neatly. I don’t know whether to say whether she is shy or not.
This matter came to an end for the time being. Yun Qingqing turned to look at Su Lan:
"Is that what you came for?"
Su Lan nodded:
"The person has been sent, and my mission is complete. Does the master have any other instructions?"
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment:
"There's nothing to do here. You can go back first and inform the other ghost kings to keep an eye on whether there are any suspicious souls appearing in their territories."
Su Lan understood:
"I understand, and I will see to it."
He raised his hand slightly, and the vine barrier around him dissipated as if it had grown in reverse order. The skylight began to shine again, and the people around him were still staring at this place.
Yun Qingqing looked around, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and whispered:
"Spacetime world?"
She could tell at a glance that everyone outside remained in their previous positions, with only very slight changes in their expressions and behaviors.
This means that from the time Su Lan set up the barrier to this moment, only a short moment had passed in the outside world.
She looked at Su Lan again and immediately discovered that the ghostly aura around him had faded a little. It was obvious that maintaining this barrier was costly.
Su Lan heard her ask this and nodded slightly:
"My Lord, please understand. This Qingming Absolute Realm of mine is a kind of Spacetime Realm. However, my strength is limited. I can only maintain this barrier in a small area for the time of an incense stick at most."
"It's already pretty good." Yun Qingqing took out a spiritual plant with a cool aura from her sleeve and handed it to him, "I found this by chance in the west. You can use it."
When she was in Shuihua Sect, after following a group of disciples to the valley to get Liufang, Yun Qingqing discovered several extremely rare spiritual plants and collected them. This was one of them.
Su Lan took the spiritual plant and looked delighted:
"Nine Nether Grass! Thank you, Master!"
Yun Qingqing raised the Ghost King's Order. After Su Lan left, the surrounding space immediately resumed the normal flow of time.
Everything was almost settled, with only Yun Bailian left on the ground looking at her in disbelief.
Yun Qingqing met Yun Bailian's gaze with cold eyes:
"Now, it's our turn to settle the accounts!"
