Chapter 1298 Lending the Whirlwind
Pan Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lianyi to take the initiative to help him. He thought that because he defended Lu You, this person disliked him, but he didn't expect that she would be willing to help.
Lian Yi saw through the doubt in Pan Chen's eyes at a glance. She pulled the seat belt and fastened it, then spoke:
"Lawyer Pan, I've said before that we just have different positions. I'm not questioning your character, I just don't like the way you handle things. Besides, you were cautious and careful enough this time, so I have no reason not to help."
"Thank you Miss Qiu for your recognition."
Pan Chen felt much better after hearing this. At least Miss Qiu was willing to speak to him directly, instead of being like some masked people who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, stabbing him in the back and catching him off guard at times. He became more vigilant only after he suffered losses.
"Send me back first, and you can pick up my friend tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you Miss Qiu."
After Pan Chen sent Lianyi back to his rented place, he drove away. Perhaps he could have a chat with the police officer in charge of the case.
Lianyi returned to the rental house and pulled Xuanfeng, who was playing with Duoduo, out of the space.
Xuanfeng only saw a flash before his eyes and the place changed, but he was not panicked, as he thought it must be his master calling him.
Tornado appeared on the sofa, stretched himself, and then greeted Lianyi:
"Master, you haven't let me out for a long time!"
"Duoduo was enough to help us in the previous plane, so we didn't let you out. Besides, it's hard to explain your sudden appearance in the demon tribe's territory."
Lian Yi smiled and stroked a handful of Whirlwind's black satin fur, then began to explain.
"Master, it seems that this plane is more suitable for me."
Tornado said, wagging his tail.
"Go and see for yourself!"
Ripple said as he patted Tornado's head.
Xuanfeng lightly jumped off the sofa, and with a few more leaps he jumped onto the windowsill. His pair of cat's eyes were like crystal clear amber stones under the sunlight. He looked at the world outside the window, and after a while he jumped back into Lianyi's arms.
"Master, what happened here? How come humans and ghosts live together? Is this plane going to develop into a ghost world?"
Whirlwind evolved from the Black Cat. After becoming a demon cultivator, he did not lose his signature skills, but instead improved them to a higher level. So his eyes could rival the Yin-Yang eyes of his original body. So he could see very clearly, and his doubts became deeper.
"You are right. There are indeed some problems here. The Ghost Gate has been blocked. These dead souls have no place to go and can only wander in the human world. Over time, problems will definitely arise.
I came here using this body to solve this problem, find the blocked ghost gate, and let the soul-catcher complete his job, so that the human world can be clear and bright."
Lianyi did not hide anything and told Xuanfeng the details of the mission.
After thinking for a while, Cyclone said:
"Master, I will first go find some nearby animals tonight to get some information, and then sense the breath of the Ghost Gate."
"You go and get some information first. As for the breath of Ghost Gate, I haven't had any sense of it since I came to this plane. It's hidden very deep. I can't take the initiative to attack. I can only take it one step at a time.
But the body I borrowed seems to be involved, so let's wait and see, things should turn around soon."
Lianyi explained while stroking the tornado.
"Whirlwind understands."
"I'm going to loan you out for a day tomorrow to help a lawyer. There's a case of animal cruelty. You go and take a look. It's considered earning merit for yourself. When the souls of those animals are repaired, you bring them back. I'll send them into the space first, so that they won't wander around outside."
Lian Yi explained.
"Understood! The valley that the master opened up in the space before was used to store those ghosts."
"Well, it's only temporary. The longer they wander, the faster they will dissipate. If they don't want to dissipate, they will have to keep devouring other ghosts. Then they will grow into vengeful spirits, and vengeful spirits can harm the living. That's why I came up with this expedient measure."
Lianyi was also helpless.
"It's the master's kindness."
Xuanfeng squinted his eyes and praised Lianyi. Shijiu, who was listening secretly at the side, rolled his eyes, thinking that Xuanfeng had some misunderstanding about Lianyi. But then he thought that Xuanfeng was raised by Lianyi and was given such an opportunity, so he would naturally be on his master's side and didn't say anything.
The next day, Pan Chen waited downstairs half an hour in advance. He did not go up rashly. He just sent a message and waited patiently. After Lianyi saw it, she went downstairs carrying Xuanfeng and handed him to Pan Chen.
"This is my cat, Tornado. He's different from other cats. He should be able to help you. He's very smart. Just tell him what you need to do. He'll understand. I can only lend him to you for one day. Remember to return him to me tomorrow."
"Oh! Yes, thank you Miss Qiu."
Pan Chen took the whirlwind in a hurry and immediately thanked him.
After Pan Chen put Tornado on the passenger seat, Tornado cried out and waved his claws at the ripples outside the window as a goodbye. Then he turned to look at Pan Chen and called out, asking him to leave quickly.
Pan Chen was amazed and immediately started the car and drove to Feng Yin's house. He had already informed the police officer in charge of the case yesterday and both sides would cooperate with each other.
After sending the whirlwind away, Lianyi found that the neighbors around her were looking at her vaguely, and the word "gossip" was revealed in their eyes.
Lianyi ignored her and went back to her rented room. This place was in the old town area of the city, some distance from the city center, so the rent was relatively cheap.
With her frugal nature, she would definitely not spend a lot of money to rent a house in the city center. She likes quietness, and because of the particularity of this world, she doesn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention, so she wants to rent a spacious yard in the suburbs to live in. She went back, changed into a skirt, and went to find an agent.
That day, Lianyi was taken by an enthusiastic agent to see several farmhouses in the suburbs. However, Lianyi was not very satisfied with any of them. She thought about changing to another agency tomorrow. After all, the properties of each agency must be different.
"Ms. Qiu, I have another house here that can meet all your needs, and the rent is very low. The owner is even willing to sell it at a low price, but..."
The real estate agent really didn't want to lose the business with Lianyi, so after hesitating for a long time, he finally offered a house.
“It’s just that there’s something wrong with this house.”
Lianyi turned around and continued.
"Yes, but because the rumor is a bit exaggerated, it is not really true."
The intermediary guy still laid the groundwork.
"Just say it."
"There's a rumor going around that the house is haunted."
After the agent finished speaking, he glanced at Lianyi's face to see how she reacted.
Lianyi was immediately interested after hearing this. The haunted house was great. Maybe she could get a bargain. If she could get it, it would become her fixed asset. So she said with great interest:
"A man does not talk about strange things. I have been brave since I was a child and I don't believe in these ghosts and gods. Take me to see it."
