"What do you mean?" Lou Qianzong was startled. "She's all alone?"
When Wang Xinrui saw that Lou Qianzong had actually spoken to her this time, she was immediately overwhelmed with emotion. After composing herself, she said with tears welling up in her eyes, "Yes, I... I couldn't stop her!"
Lou Qianzong quickly stood up and said, "Let's go take a look right away." After a pause, he added, "Lin Jingting isn't with her, so he probably doesn't know anything yet!"
Bai Ze advised helplessly, "Calm down! Calm down! Don't you think she needs your help right now? Don't forget who unsealed your magic power after it was sealed?"
Lou Qianzong's lips twitched a few times, then he sat down again with a cold face and muttered, "Lin Jingting doesn't even react to this?" After saying that, he quickly made a phone call to Lin Jingting.
Although Lin Jingting had been informed by Chu Nian that she would be leaving for a while, he did not know what she was going to do. When Lou Qianzong mentioned this, he was stunned for a moment and then awkwardly said "Oh".
Lou Qianzong: "Oh? You just said 'oh' and that's it?"
Lin Jingting: "Otherwise what? She didn't invite us or tell us the details, so she probably doesn't want us to get involved."
Lou Qianzong twitched, glaring angrily at Bai Ze: Why do you speak in the same tone as Xiao Bai? It was filled with a deep sense of helplessness!
He pursed his lips and hung up the phone.
Seeing his expression, Bai Ze couldn't help but chuckle, "Didn't your master also tell you not to meddle in other people's business?!"
Lou Qianzong gave a soft snort.
Bai Ze said, "Let's deal with the immediate issue first." He then turned to Huo Qinghan and said, "Tell us in detail about your father's itinerary before and after the incident."
Lou Qianzong couldn't help but frown and said, "Isn't that a bit too complicated? Just go after them directly..."
Before he could utter the words "tracing the source," Bai Ze glared at him, interrupting him. He quickly shut his mouth.
Tracing the source is a spell. As long as you use the demonic energy, you can trace the location of the mirror demon's true form. There's no need to ask about Huo's father's itinerary. Even if you ask, you might not be able to find the mirror demon's true form. He felt that Bai Ze's question was somewhat unnecessary.
Actually, he and Lin Jingting had used exorcism as a way to make money more than once before, so why wasn't it as troublesome as Bai Ze's method? He thought to himself.
However, when he discovered that Huo Qinghan had willingly transferred another five million to their cards, his inner grumbling vanished: it turns out that Bai Ze could swindle even more money by doing this.
Bai Ze, acting like a seasoned veteran, chatted with the Huo family until midnight. Before leaving, he gave Huo Qingyan and Wang Xinrui different pills, instructing them to take them in time to ward off evil spirits. Only then did he and Lou Qianzong slip away.
Yunhe didn't have their abilities, but Huo Qinghan respectfully drove him back to his Taoist temple, which made Yunhe feel a bit of admiration for Huo Qinghan.
Huo Qinghan should now realize that he is at most a tiny follower in front of Mr. Bai and Mr. Lou, only serving them. However, the fact that they still treat him with such courtesy shows that he is a very polite person.
Inside the villa, Huo Qinghan instructed the butler to quickly prepare a guest room for Wang Xinrui.
Huo's mother took her to visit Huo's father, who was in a coma.
Huo Qinghan still felt a little scared when she thought about what happened that night, but when she remembered that her father was possessed by an evil spirit that day, and that the evil spirit had been driven away, she finally mustered up her courage and went with her mother.
The rather luxuriously decorated hall was now empty except for Wang Xinrui. Although she had been here more than once thanks to Huo Qingyan, she had never been alone in such a lavish hall before, and she couldn't help but excitedly look around.
The coffee table, the side table, the flower stand not far away, the artificial rockery and bonsai on the other side, and so on, all fascinated her. The smooth, mirror-like marble coffee table almost reflected her clear face. She reached out and touched the mirror-like surface, when suddenly she saw something moving in the stone's texture, which startled her so much that she instinctively took a step back.
At the same time, a strange white light suddenly shot out from the stone pattern and rushed towards her.
Just as she instinctively moved backward, the white light seemed to hit something when it reached her, suddenly veered off course, and then bounced back heavily, rushing in another direction.
The hall was originally empty, but suddenly a figure appeared in the direction from which the white light reflected, holding a very ancient-looking bronze bowl, which was facing the white light.
The white light rushed into the bowl, but the person immediately covered it up and hid it.
From another void not far away, a loud "haha" laugh echoed.
Bai Ze put away the soul cup and turned to glare angrily at the void.
Lou Qianzong then revealed himself and said, "Xiao Bai, you really did a good job today... Xiao Bai!" He then laughed heartily.
Bai Ze said coldly, "Alright, hurry up and go back!"
The two disappeared again.
Sitting on the sofa, Wang Xinrui looked completely bewildered: What's going on?!
Back home, Lou Qianzong told Lin Jingting about how Bai Ze used the mirror demon to test Wang Xinrui's aura. Not only did it not harm Wang Xinrui, but the mirror demon was also bounced back and almost possessed Bai Ze himself. He laughed and slapped his thigh as he told the story.
Lin Jingting said helplessly, "How old are you two? Aren't you childish?!"
Bai Ze sighed, "Judging by how strong that woman's aura is, she can last at least another hundred or two hundred years. It won't be easy for Niannian to get revenge on her!"
Lin Jingting: "As the saying goes, those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. That woman used Lan Nian from the divine realm to kill so many people; sooner or later, retribution will come upon her."
Lou Qianzong frowned and said, "You said that woman harmed so many people, but not a single vengeful spirit has come to haunt her?"
Bai Ze laughed and said, "Of course there are! If there weren't any, how did Nian Nian come about?"
Lou Qianzong said "Oh," and suddenly realized: So it was because a vengeful spirit had come looking for her that Nian Nian was traveling through different timelines. Come to think of it, it's strange, why didn't I feel the same heartache when I met her this time?
Thinking of this, he asked with a puzzled look, "Have you noticed that Nian Nian is a little different this time than before?"
Bai Ze: "Of course it's different. Not only has she awakened stronger magical power, but she probably also knows a lot of the truth!"
"The truth? What truth?" Lou Qianzong asked hastily. He had a gut feeling that the truth was related to him; otherwise, why would his heart be so calm this time, without feeling any pain at all?!
Lin Jingting glared at Bai Ze but didn't say anything.
Bai Ze remained silent.
Lou Qianzong: "Why are you two suddenly all silent?"
Bai Ze deliberately feigned impatience and said, "Why do you have so many questions?"
