With the "domain" reclaimed by Li Jingxing, Ye Jiu and Lin Jin'an returned to the lakeside.
Ye Jiu glanced at the ground beneath her feet and said thankfully, "Thank goodness I didn't land at the bottom of the lake... Although I don't know if Li Jingxing did it, I really thank you for not making me stand in that pile of garbage."
Li Jingxing floated to Ye Jiu's side. "You're welcome. I also find this garbage dump disgusting. If I weren't trapped inside the wooden statue, I would have escaped this place long ago."
Ye Jiu suddenly realized something, glanced at the bright sun in the sky, "Hmm... You can appear under the sun? Aren't you afraid of the sun? Aren't you a ghost?"
Li Jingxing spun around in front of Ye Jiu. "I feel perfectly fine," he said with a smile. "Perhaps I'm not a ghost after all."
Lin Jin'an muttered to himself, "Damn it, he's not afraid of the sun at all. I thought he could at least hurt him a little."
However, the thought that Li Jingxing was completely unafraid of physical contact with him, and even passed through his body, probably because he had no physical form, yet he could still touch Ye Jiu, made him furious. So he must be able to freely control who he touches and who he doesn't, and might even be a powerful ghost.
Lin Jin'an looked resentful and nudged Ye Jiu's arm. "Let's go find Ming Youyi."
"Oh right, and Ming Youyi too." Ye Jiu took a few steps forward and encountered several passersby. She suddenly turned to Li Jingxing beside her and asked, "Speaking of which, who can see you? Can ordinary people see you? Or are you like a ghost, only special people can see you?"
Li Jingxing hesitated before speaking, "It's probably only certain people who can see it, otherwise those passersby would have noticed something amiss. I'm neither walking on the ground nor casting a shadow."
Lin Jin'an grabbed Ye Jiu's hand and pulled her forward, "Why don't we hand him over to Ming Youyi? The Special Administration Bureau is the place that handles these things. He has amnesia, right? Maybe the Special Administration Bureau can help him find his lost memories. Everyone will be happy!"
It would be best to send him back to headquarters, the farther away from Beijing the better, heh.
Ye Jiu scratched his head, "That seems to make sense."
"I'm sorry, have I caused you any trouble?" Li Jingxing spoke up at the right time. "If that's the case, then I will go with Ming Youyi, whom you mentioned." There was a hint of grievance in his tone.
Ye Jiu felt guilty and said firmly, "No, I already promised to let him come with me. It would be wrong to break my promise. Besides, he's not human and doesn't take up any space!"
Lin Jin'an sighed, "You green tea bitch, don't think I can't see through you."
Lin Jin'an grew angrier the more she thought about it, but she couldn't hit him anyway. Helplessly, she raised her middle finger at Li Jingxing and said, "Ye Jiu's relationship with you is fake, but her relationship with me is genuine, humph."
Li Jingxing smiled faintly and remained silent, dismissing the childish tactics.
...
Ming Youyi sat in the pavilion in the community, with tea brewed for her by Shi Zhaoxing on the stone table next to her. While they were searching for ghosts under the scorching sun, she was enjoying tea and the scenery in the pavilion.
Upon seeing Ye Jiu's figure in the distance, Ming Youyi raised her teacup and gestured to Ye Jiu, "Oh, you're back. How did things go?"
Ye Jiu: ...That's why they get along so well. It's good to have Ming Youyi continue to be their task prompter.
Ye Jiu let out a long sigh and sat down on the stool. "It's all done."
As Ming Youyi had expected, she wasn't too surprised, but she hadn't anticipated it would happen so quickly.
"Has this cultivation transcended the 'domain'?" Ming Youyi asked casually, taking a sip of tea.
“No, it secretly entered someone else’s cultivation ‘domain,’ and the owner of that ‘domain’ couldn’t deal with it for some special reasons, so it took over.” Ye Jiu looked up at Li Jingxing beside her.
Li Jingxing smiled, silently asking her, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jiu shook her head and turned her gaze to Ming Youyi.
"Tsk, he's already cultivated a 'domain' but he still can't beat a brat who hasn't even cultivated a 'domain' yet?" Ming Youyi clicked his tongue in amazement.
“No, as I already said, it was for special reasons that we brought him back.” Ye Jiu pointed to Li Jingxing beside her.
To everyone's surprise, Ming Youyi was completely bewildered. "Why are you pointing at thin air? And you saw a ghost but didn't eliminate it, yet you brought it along?"
Ye Jiu was stunned, and Lin Jin'an also looked puzzled. "You...can't see it?"
"What do you see?" Ming Youyi's eyes widened. "There's only air! Don't scare me."
Ye Jiu and Lin Jin'an exchanged a glance. "So, only the two of us can see it?"
Li Jingxing pursed his lips. "It sounds like I'm a little more special than those ghosts and monsters."
Lin Jin'an cursed his bad luck. Now he had no choice but to go with them. Since Ming Youyi couldn't see Li Jingxing, he couldn't hand Li Jingxing over to her at all.
Lin Jin'an began to plan how to tell Ye Jiu that he could give his room to Li Jingxing. He absolutely could not let Li Jingxing and Ye Jiu be alone together! Absolutely not!
"What do you mean only the two of you can see this?" Ming Youyi put down her teacup and sat up straight. "What you're saying makes my arms feel cold."
Ye Jiu sighed, "Never mind, the master of that 'domain' we found, he's not a ghost, he's more like a spirit, without a physical body. Lin Jin'an and I can see him, I don't know why you can't."
Ye Jiu pointed again in the direction where Li Jingxing was, "He's right next to me."
Ming Youyi shifted her gaze to the air beside Ye Jiu and tentatively asked, "You... hello?"
Li Jingxing responded politely, "Hello."
Unfortunately, Ming Youyi couldn't hear it, so Ye Jiu relayed it: "He said hello to you."
Ming Youyi, who had been in the industry for over twenty years, had never heard of such a thing before. After a brief struggle, she accepted the fact, saying, "If you can't see him, you can't see him. So what are your thoughts? How are you going to deal with him?"
"Well... if you can't see it, then maybe the others in the Special Administration Bureau can't see it either." Ye Jiu shrugged. "We can only have him follow us around, and we'll keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't do anything wrong."
Lin Jin'an nodded in agreement, "Yes, I just felt he wasn't a good person. I'll keep an eye on his every move."
Ye Jiu gently pushed his shoulder, "Get lost, stop causing trouble."
"What? I'm telling the truth, he's not a good person."
Dissatisfied with being scolded, Lin Jin'an whispered, "I think you've been bewitched by him."
After listening, Ming Youyi agreed, "What you said makes sense. Then you should take him with you and write this in the report. I'll go back and explain it to Fang Tianxiong."
Lin Jin'an interjected, "You called Director Fang by his full name. If he finds out, you're finished."
Ming Youyi rolled her eyes. "How would I know if you didn't tell me or I didn't tell him? You little brat, shut your mouth."
Lin Jin'an blinked innocently, "If you take Li Jingxing away, I won't tell Director Fang."
Ming Youyi stood up and touched Lin Jin'an's forehead. "You don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense? I can't even see him. How can I take him away? I didn't even know when he ran away right under my nose."
(Ye Jiu: What people see is determined by people themselves, so I would say it's an auspicious omen.)
