Chapter 75

Lan Ruo was also looking at them in a daze at this moment.

Although she didn't know what they were going to do specifically, she seemed to understand the meaning.

It seemed that Miss Yan, who was invited by him, was well prepared. They did not take action, but they had prepared the props and magical instruments that would be used to take action.

And the expert that the master asked someone to invite happened to be the friend that Miss Yan wanted to recruit for help.

It was so unbelievable how coincidental it all was!

When Lan Ruo suddenly received the message and phone call on her mobile phone just now, she was in a dilemma. If these two preparations collided, it would be hard not to cause dissatisfaction on one side.

But what no one expected was that, due to such a strange combination of circumstances, both parties ended up with the same result.

Ding Ling looked at the backpacks that Ah Yan and Zhu Jue had put down. Her eyes moved slightly. "Did you bring everything out today?"

"I know you're coming to Ningcheng today, and we've made an appointment to meet, so I just brought it here. I think you can use it." Ah Yan said.

Because Lan Ruo and Xie Zhen were still here, she did not mention anything about the Xuanmen Shengxuan Meeting.

When Ding Ling heard Ah Yan's answer, her own guess immediately came true.

What do you mean by "I think you can use it"? It's clear that everything has been calculated by them.

Has he become so clever?

Obviously, she came to the capital Ningcheng this time to follow the special case team. Ding Ling was a little uncertain at first, and she made the impromptu decision to come yesterday. She only informed A Yan about this last night.

As for coming to Xie's house to help check the situation, I confirmed my visit last night. After the group booked the tickets, the group leader received a call from a friend asking for help.

Because the matter was urgent, Ding Ling left the team as soon as she got off the high-speed train and came here directly with the contact person of the team leader's friend.

All of this seemed to be the result of Ding Ling's own sudden decision yesterday. She decided to come to Ningcheng to see the excitement, which led to the series of events that followed.

Yesterday’s cause, today’s result.

A Yan and Zhu Jue, although they seemed to have no involvement, they also gave a slight push in this cause and effect, contributing to the "result" this time.

Ding Ling looked at the couple in front of her, wondering who could have made A Yan and Zhu Jue take the initiative to find her.

However, just by coming to this courtyard, she could see how wealthy this place was.

Maybe they have some connection with the family behind Ayan and are asking for help?

A small problem like soul dislocation is definitely not a problem for Ayan.

Ding Ling guessed that this family had found the family behind A Yan and the others through some unknown channel, and the two of them were traveling around the world but restricted themselves from taking any action, so they contacted him yesterday to "help".

However, they obviously anticipated that the current situation would be more convenient with the "Bell of Conscience" and the "Bell of Confusion", so they brought them along.

Her thoughts only lasted a moment, and Ding Ling didn't waste any time thinking them through.

"How long has this been going on between you two? Looks like over a month."

At this moment, Ding Ling was looking at two customers, one with a male soul and a female body, and the other with a female soul and a male body. Having different bodies and souls was rare among the people.

The most common "ghost possession", whether it is a water ghost or a dead ghost, also requires a degree of compatibility between the body and the soul. It often takes advantage of the low yang energy and physical weakness of the human body, with a man possessing a man and a woman possessing a woman.

The situation of men and women swapping is rare.

Before arriving at the compound and meeting the real person, Ding Ling had no idea who had asked her to handle the special incident.

Of course, she doesn't know the identities of this man and woman now.

"A little over a month, exactly the thirty-ninth day." Xie Zhen answered at this moment.

"No wonder." Ding Ling was looking at the two people's souls at this moment.

Lan Ruo smelled something keenly, "Master, is there any problem?"

Ding Ling hummed and glanced at the two of them.

"It's not a big problem. It's just right to solve it now."

"Although I don't know how you left your souls and ended up in your current state, but if a man and a woman exchange souls and enter each other's bodies for a long time, it will easily lead to dependence."

"Dependence?!" Xie Zhen almost jumped up at this moment.

"You mean, if we continue, we might not be able to escape from each other's bodies?"

"Little Master, Expert, when can we get it back?" Xie Zhen asked anxiously.

He simply couldn't bear to think about it. If this dependence continued, wouldn't he have to stay in Lanruo's body forever?

This was the first time that the couple could see the problem between the two at a glance and even tell what it was, although Xie Zhen was a little suspicious of the young girl when they first met.

But now, he just wants to call him Master! He is definitely a master!

"Her last name is Ding." Ah Yan gave a friendly reminder at this moment. He didn't expect that the Xie couple also invited Ding Ling over, but they didn't even know her name.

"Master Ding, Master Ding!" Xie Zhen was still in Lan Ruo's body. He clasped his fists in a gesture, which made people feel a little strange no matter how they looked at it.

"Miss Ding." Lan Ruo also looked over at this moment.

"It's not difficult to deal with, but it's better for you to stay calm right now."

Ding Ling said this while looking at Xie Zhen who was extremely excited at the moment.

"It's better to keep your emotions quiet and not active." She glanced at the time on her watch.

"Male and female souls have their own yin and yang. It's not convenient now at noon."

"Do you remember what time it was when you first exchanged bodies? Midnight?" Although she asked a question, her tone was very certain.

"It was midnight, just after dawn." Xie Zhen said.

He remembered it very clearly. That day he came home after drinking in the early morning and Lan Ruo was still waiting for him on the sofa. The two had another big fight. He was so angry that he could not bear it any longer and started drafting a divorce agreement directly in the study.

Both of them were angry and pushed each other. They fell on the sofa. At midnight, the clock in the study rang. He felt that the bell was very loud that night, almost piercing his ears.

"The clock in the study rings at midnight." Lan Ruo said.

She still remembers the scene that night. "I don't know if it was my illusion, but now that I think about it, I felt dizzy when I heard the bell. Then my head spun around and I fell on the sofa. When I woke up, I was in a different body."

At that time, she opened her eyes and saw her own face, and she was completely stunned.

The two men started shouting in the study at the same time, even attracting the servants, but they tried to cover it up by saying it was a quarrel.

Ding Ling nodded. "If you have no problem with that, we'll set the time tonight to take over at midnight."

Xie Zhen couldn't wait any longer. "No problem for me."

Lan Ruo glanced at him and said, "I have no problem either."

"Master, Master Ding, what else do we need to prepare? For example, bathing and burning incense? Is there anything else we need? Magical instruments, or something related to the five elements? We should prepare them now."

Xie Zhen spoke a string of words, fully revealing his eagerness.

"No need." Ding Ling said lightly.

"The only things that can be used are already here." She pointed at Ayan and Zhu Jue's backpacks.

She looked at the two of them, "You tonight..."

Ah Yan shook his head, "We can't accompany you tonight."

If I didn't go home in the middle of the night in the summer, my parents wouldn't care. But now it's winter with the temperature below ten degrees Celsius. If I and Jue Rue don't go home, my parents will probably come out to look for me.

"Okay." Ding Ling nodded slightly.

With the Bell of Conscience and the Bell of Doubt, it is a very simple matter to let the souls of two ordinary people sleep for a short time and exchange them. If she can't do this small thing, she doesn't need to be the Ghost King.

A Yan and Zhu Jue didn't come to avoid being overly involved in this incident and causing further consequences. She completely understood that.

"Just go home and don't worry. I'll take care of it." Ding Ling promised.

This was something she had agreed to do, and it was also something that Ayan and the others had originally wanted to ask her to do. Ayan seldom asked for help, and although it was just a small matter, she would definitely not let her down.

After getting Ding Ling's promise, Ah Yan looked at Xie Zhen and Lan Ruo, who clearly had a look of relief on their faces.

The cold and bitter atmosphere between the couple seemed to have been resolved at this moment.

"Student Yan and student Zhu, can you stay with Miss Ding for a while? I invited you to come here this time. It's a rare opportunity, so why not have a quick lunch here? The scenery of this courtyard is pretty good."

Lan Ruo spoke up. She invited the person over. She couldn't just do nothing and let the person make a wasted trip without any appreciation.

When the matter is over, giving gifts to express gratitude is naturally indispensable.

Ding Ling glanced at the time, then looked at Ah Yan: "Today is my first day in Ningcheng, so I really don't have anything to do. What are your plans for the afternoon?"

Ah Yan shook his head: "Originally I made an appointment with you."

She now spread her hands, now apparently having nothing to do in the afternoon.

In this huge four-courtyard house, there are only six people now, Ayan Zhujue, the Xie couple, Ding Ling, and the contact person sent by the master, the "team leader's friend".

"We haven't been to this courtyard for a long time. It would be nice for us to take a walk together in the afternoon and see what Ningcheng is like in winter." Lan Ruo invited again.

Ah Yan looked at Jue Jue and Ding Ling, "Then... why not obey your orders?"

After all, they were invited guests, and now that they were confirmed to be safe and reliable, it would be nice for them to stay for another afternoon to see the world.

At noon, they were in this courtyard, enjoying the view through the glass windows of the observation restaurant while eating a custom-made meal for one from a high-end restaurant in Ningcheng.

Although Ding Ling said that bathing or burning incense was not necessary, the couple asked her to choose the best feng shui location in the courtyard as the center of the evening ritual. Even Xie Zhen followed Lan Ruo's suggestion. After dinner, the two of them bathed and read the Heart Sutra to calm their emotions.

The couple was making preparations for the evening. With the permission of the owner, Ah Yan, Jue Jue and Ding Ling carefully went out into the courtyard.

"The courtyard is very deep and deep" is the most realistic portrayal of the four-courtyard house in front of us.

After passing through one door and another, there is a corridor, a renovated warm house, and landscaping everywhere. There are only three idle people strolling in the huge courtyard.

Ah Yan was amazed at everything, "As expected of a rich man, I see that this is all renovated from the old and remodeled from the inside."

Repairing old things with old ones is many times more expensive than replacing everything with new ones.

Nowadays, many ancient buildings in tourist attractions are not protected by local residents, and they do not have the funds. They just think that they are dilapidated and ugly and want to renovate them. However, they do not realize that using modern technology such as painting will directly destroy the cultural relics, which is really a pity.

The three of them were wearing Chaoshou and strolling along the corridor. Ding Ling spoke at this moment: "Ayan, will you go to the Shengxuanhui this year?"

Is that Shengxuan Society again?

Ah Yan pricked up her ears and blinked her eyes. Ding Ling was sure that she was a member of the Xuanmai sect, but she had no idea what that was!

After thinking about it, she told the truth.

"It has nothing to do with us."

As two ordinary people, this thing called Shengxuan has nothing to do with her and Juejue!

Ding Ling nodded at this time, "Indeed."

"Although you two are of the same age, it would be an insult if you went there."

The Shengxuanhui is a grand gathering for the younger generation of Xuanmai, held every three years, and this time the venue is set in the capital Ningcheng.

However, the excitement of the young people obviously had nothing to do with the unfathomable strength of A-Yan and the other two.

But Ah Yan didn't say whether they would go or not, so it seemed like he wasn't sure yet.

After all, Ningcheng is their "home" now. Ding Ling guessed that they would probably show up occasionally to take a look, just like she did, just to watch the excitement. And this year's most important event for Shengxuan, the special Dragon Year Ceremony, I don't know if the two will go.

If he went, I think he went there with a special status, and it is not easy to announce it to the public now.

Her thoughts suddenly turned and she figured out the problem.

Ding Ling's words "bullying people" stunned Ah Yan, huh?

She and Jue Jue were bullying? What the hell? What was Ding Ling thinking?

Ah Yan opened his mouth, feeling like he wanted to explain but didn't know how.

On this topic, A Yan could only remain silent.

She changed the topic to Suishun who came to Ningcheng to work, and the kitten Pengpeng, which diverted Ding Ling's attention.

Ah Yan mentioned some scenic spots in Ningcheng: "How long will you stay in Ningcheng this time? There are fewer people traveling to Cuofeng in the days before the New Year."

"If Chu Shen comes over and Sui Sui is still here, they can meet Brother Xiao and go together," she said.

When classmates and friends come to the capital for tourism, as locals, Ayan and Juejue have to entertain the guests. They always have to fulfill their duties as hosts.

However, Gu Jiasui arrived first, followed by Ding Ling, and Chu Shen was not sure whether he would come. If these roommates came at the wrong time, Yan could not imagine how many times she and Jue Jue would have to go to the Forbidden City and climb the Great Wall during this winter vacation! Yan and Jue Jue were both annual pass users for some scenic spots in Ningcheng.

It’s winter now! There is no off-season or peak season for tourism in the capital. It’s peak season all year round.

"I'll wait until after the New Year, and I can't decide for sure yet," said Ding Ling.

I heard that the New Year atmosphere in Ningcheng is more intense, especially since it is the dragon vein of the capital. She was asked by her team leader to participate in this year's event, and perhaps she would do something.

They had another dinner in the afternoon. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Ayan and Juejue politely declined the Xie family's offer to send them off and took their leave directly.

When they came, they each carried a bag, but when they left, the bags were empty, so it was convenient to take the subway.

After A Yan and Zhu Jue left, only Xie Zhen, Lan Ruo, and Ding Ling were left in the huge house where they were preparing to perform the body and soul transformation at night.

"Master Ding, are students Yan and Zhu your friends?"

Xie Zhen took the initiative to pour tea and asked carefully.

Today, he learned that this young couple had known about the problem between him and Lan Ruo for a long time, but they never showed up on their own initiative, especially when they met them again in the church later, which made Xie Zhen wonder if they were laughing at him.

This young couple had clearly come with that Feng Shui master, who was more powerful, but kept silent. They had already seen the problem but didn't say anything.

Ding Ling glanced at him at this moment. She didn't like the taste of his soul. There was some indescribable smell in the oil.

It would be better for such a soul to return to its own body as soon as possible and not defile the original body of a beauty.

As for Lanruo's scent, she couldn't say she liked it, but she didn't dislike it either. It was like the scent of perfume changing from floral to woody.

"Yes and no." Ding Ling said.

She was very cold towards Xie Zhen and only spoke to Lan Ruo as an equal.

"They are my friends, but I have received a lot of help from them."

Received a lot of help from your little lover?

Lan Ruo and Xie Zhen's pupils both shrank.

"I don't know where you came from, but the people behind you actually found them for such a trivial matter. This favor..." Ding Ling said with some emotion.

"Small matter?" Xie Zhen opened his mouth. Exchanging soul and body, is it a trivial matter in the eyes of these people?

Ding Ling raised her eyelids: "I came here only because they wanted me to come here."

"They asked me to help, and I was found by your people at the same time, that's all."

The two sentences uttered by Ding Ling were like a riddle, but both of them understood them at the first time, and shock flashed in their eyes.

"Those two things?" Lan Ruo spoke at this moment.

"Those two things, even with them, can't be said to be twice as effective. It's just that your soul-body exchange will not have any sequelae, nor will it cause any pain. You just need to sleep well. If you don't have these two things, your two souls will have developed a certain degree of dependence on the body. When the body and soul are separated, there will be a burning and tearing sensation, and it may cause damage to the soul." Ding Ling explained.

This was an arrangement that Ah Yan and the others had deliberately left behind, but the two people in front of her clearly didn't know how big of a favor it was, but she had to let them know.

"In other words, if we didn't have these two things brought by classmate Yan, our souls would be missing or something like that? But if we have them, the success rate is 100% with no side effects at all?" Lan Ruo asked quickly.

Ding Ling nodded, "Yes."

"Others often don't care about these minor details. But she does," said Ding Ling.

"So this time, we are really..." Xie Zhen came to his senses at this moment. It turns out that this young couple are also experts!

"You are really lucky to have them personally arrange it for you and even lend you two top-grade magic tools just for your soul's comfort." Ding Ling said.

Lan Ruo couldn't help but speak up at this moment: "Then why don't they do it themselves?"

Ding Ling looked at her at this moment and said, "Some people are too powerful. Once they make a move, something will happen."

The Xie couple were completely stunned at this moment, "Who are they?"

Ding Ling poured the tea silently, looking gloomy: "You don't need to ask this."

She only answered in her heart that she was an extraordinary and otherworldly person, a person who played in the world of red dust, and an ordinary person whom ordinary people could never understand in their entire lives and an ordinary person in the eyes of others.

And only a few people in the world know their secret identities.

Fortunately, she is their friend and one of them.
