Black waves squeezed the air and rolled towards her.
At the critical moment, Jiang Xuxu was grabbed by the arm and pulled into someone's arms.
The familiar golden light enveloped her completely.
Chu Beihe held her and turned her around, holding her tightly in his arms, while using his back to block the black air waves.
The Bixi jade piece that had just absorbed the jade spirit's spiritual energy seemed to have sensed something, and its jade body suddenly emitted a huge tortoise shell barrier that enveloped everyone.
At the same time, the sound of a loud explosion resounded throughout the building.
Everyone around looked out of every corner in amazement, wanting to know what was going on.
There were even customers waiting for a seat at the hotpot restaurant who were curious and wanted to get closer, but were immediately stopped by the enthusiastic and considerate waiter.
"Just sit there, I'll go find out for you!"
After saying that, he ran away swiftly.
On this side, the reception room was in a mess.
The barrier that Jiang Xuxu originally placed on Jiang Han and Yu Ling's side was melted into streams of black water like the previous talismans.
The black water slid down the barrier erected by the Bixi and fell onto the ground, immediately emitting black smoke.
Because the system was flying too fast before, it was not covered by the barrier of Bixi. The originally thick black fog around it was blown away to only a thin layer, and now there was a lot of black water on its back.
Jiang Xuxu broke free from Chu Beihe's arms immediately after the explosion. He first pulled him for a careful inspection, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed the familiar tortoise shell barrier covering his head.
But he still couldn't help but glare at Chu Beihe.
The second time.
This person always suddenly appears and takes the blame for her without authorization.
The last time was when he blocked the fire thunder from heaven for her.
This time again...
"I'm fine."
Chu Beihe paused, and then said in a deep voice,
"I'm fine, and I don't want you to be in any trouble either."
"I can protect myself."
Jiang Xuxu still stared at him closely, "Unless you don't trust me."
Chu Beihe was helpless and slowed down his tone.
"Okay, there won't be a next time."
Jiang Xuxu finally relaxed his expression, let go of his worries, and looked at Jiang Han and Yu Ling on the ground.
After the black smoke dissipated, the ghostly figure was no longer in the room. It seemed that he had run away before the explosion.
Jiang Han was fine beside Bixi, but the Jade Spirit on the ground was not in a good condition. Its body was damaged and its spirit aura was much weaker...
[And me…]
The system's voice came weakly, and Jiang Xuxu then remembered that he had missed one.
Following the sound, I found the system lying on the floor with a faint black aura emanating from its back.
It is the resentful and evil energy that was released after the black fog ball exploded.
Obviously, the explosion is not the purpose, these resentful and evil spirits are the root cause.
After sticking a talisman on the system's turtle back, Jiang Xuxu quickly set up a formation in the room.
In order to prevent these evil spirits from spreading and affecting the surroundings, we have to use formations to seal up these resentful and evil spirits.
While Jiang Xuxu was busy, Shen Shao and the manager of the jade shop heard the noise and ran over. Looking at the messy explosion scene in the reception room, their expressions were very conflicted.
Chu Beihe walked straight forward and said,
"The losses here will be reimbursed by the Chu family. If you want to change stores directly, I will ask my assistant to come over and you can contact him directly."
Shen Shao naturally recognized Chu Beihe, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly said,
"Why should I pay for such a small loss? I should be thankful that nothing happened to Mr. Chu and Master Jiang here. No need, really no need."
Mr. Shen waved his hands repeatedly, and Chu Beihe didn't say much to him. He just turned around and asked his assistant to come over and deal with it.
While the two were talking, Jiang Xuxu had already handled the situation. Seeing the police cars and firefighters arriving shortly after, he called the Security Bureau to coordinate the process.
After finishing these things, he walked to the corner and looked at the dying Yu Ling.
Her spiritual body was originally damaged and she was lacking in spiritual energy. Although she was not affected by the explosion just now, because her breath was too weak, she was also contaminated with some resentful and evil energy.
As if she knew she would not have a good ending, she simply lay there and gave Jiang Xuxu a weak smile.
"Are you going to take me in?"
Jiang Xuxu did not answer her question, but said,
"You and Mr. Nian got so many fake jade antiques, is it to replace the original authentic ones and absorb the spiritual energy from those authentic ones?"
"Don't you already have the answers? Why are you still asking..."
Yu Ling's voice was lazy, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.
Jiang Xuxu looked at her for a while, then suddenly said,
"You are a jade spirit yourself, and you know that the spiritual energy in jade that has been passed down for many years is different from that of ordinary jade. But do you know that people, especially craftsmen who make a living by creating, also have spiritual energy?"
Jiang Xuxu saw her looking at him and continued in a calm voice,
“The aura of a craftsman is also called inspiration by ordinary people, but the aura of a person will not disappear without reason.
When you were working with Mr. Nian, didn't you ever think that in addition to absorbing the spiritual energy from the jade, he might also be able to absorb the spiritual energy from that person? "
As soon as Jiang Xuxu said this, Yu Ling's pupils, which had been allowed to weaken, suddenly trembled.
Then, waves of disbelief appeared in his eyes inch by inch.
“No, it’s impossible…”
Her voice trembled, and her spirit seemed increasingly fragile.
If it was really what she said, then her master's suicide was...
"You lied to me!"
She glared at Jiang Xuxu with red eyes, "You said this because you want me to betray Mr. Nian..."
"Believe it or not."
Jiang Xuxu said, "But there is one thing I can tell you with certainty."
Yu Ling thought she was going to say something provocative again, but she heard her voice become soft and she spoke slowly,
"You said before that you were a replica, but you may have forgotten one thing -
There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. Similarly, I believe there are no two cabbages in the world that are exactly the same.
Rather than saying you are a replica, I believe that you are the last work that truly endowed that person with spiritual energy before he lost it."
Otherwise, she couldn't explain why a fake could be transformed into a spirit so smoothly without having a trace of evil on it.
Yu Ling was stunned after listening to her words, and she just stood there in a daze.
The inexplicably gentle look the man gave her when he committed suicide flashed vaguely through her mind.
She had always thought that the reason she had not been destroyed by him was because she was an insignificant imitation.
But what if it’s not?
If what Jiang Xuxu said was true, she was actually the last work of his left in the world with his soul attached to it...
Then what she did to help Nian Sigui...
He will be angry, right?
Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably and Yu Ling's whole body trembled violently. The next second, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
Like a child, sobbing and crying.
She thought, if that person was still alive, he would definitely be very disappointed in her, right?
She really did something wrong.
Owner……
I was wrong.
