"Ghost?"
"What is that?"
Hua Qingcheng looked puzzled when she heard this.
"My dear wife, a vengeful spirit is a ghost that harbors resentment and revenge. It belongs to the category of ghosts that have suffered injustice."
Yu Xiaotian looked at Han Yichen lying in bed again. Seeing that his condition had not worsened, he continued, "They are evil spirits formed from tragic deaths caused by great grievances. Because they held grudges and deep obsessions in their lives, they are unable to enter reincarnation after death and will use their grudges to harm others."
"How could Achen have provoked such an evil thing?"
Hua Qingcheng's face was gloomy, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritated. After all, these strange things were beyond her comprehension. The feeling of being out of her control and out of her control was really terrible...
"My dear wife, this vengeful spirit must have followed me here from outside. I didn't sense its presence in the palace before."
"Followed from outside?"
Hua Qingcheng frowned slightly when she heard this, and some images flashed through her mind quickly, but they were too fast and she didn't have time to capture any useful information.
"Yesterday was the Imperial College's ten-day holiday, so Chen and I only went to Xiangyang on Qifeng Mountain north of the city to see the red roses. Could it be... could it be that an evil spirit followed us somewhere on our way back?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Yu Xiaotian nodded slightly.
"Xiaotian, do you know where the vengeful spirit that harmed Achen is now? Since it uses its resentment to harm people, especially the soul of the fetus in the pregnant woman's belly, if it is not destroyed as soon as possible, I am afraid that Brother Li and Achen will be in danger."
"My wife is right. This evil spirit must be eliminated as soon as possible. Although my eldest brother is protected by soaring dragon energy, ordinary evil spirits cannot approach him; however, as the vengeful spirit devours more and more pure souls, its evil spirit will become more and more powerful, and its methods of harming people will naturally become more severe accordingly."
"Just now, I activated my spiritual power to search, and the vengeful spirit that harmed Third Brother is not in the palace at the moment. I'm afraid it encountered something that can restrain it and has fled in panic. However, based on my usual obsession with vengeful spirits, I speculate that it may return before achieving its goal. My wife, please take good care of Third Brother while I go and retrieve his soul first."
"Okay. I'll take care of things here, Xiaotian, you can go ahead and do your work without worry." Hua Qingcheng responded solemnly.
After getting Hua Qingcheng's promise, Yu Xiaotian quickly left Han Yichen's dormitory and walked out of the yard.
In the dreary night, Yu Xiaotian stood at the door of Bingquanxuan. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the three-petal red lotus mark on his forehead flashed with red gold light. Then he once again activated the Yu family's unique ability to capture souls and communicate with spirits, allowing his spiritual consciousness to wander throughout the entire palace.
"Han Yichen~"
"Han Yichen~"
…
Yu Xiaotian's spiritual consciousness was wandering around the palace, and he kept calling Han Yichen's name.
"Xiaotian?"
"Shouldn't you be sleeping soundly at this time? Why are you up? And... you're still wearing monk's robes in the middle of the night? People who don't know would think you're planning to perform a ritual to liberate someone." Han Yichen, who didn't know that his soul had left his body, looked at Yu Xiaotian, who was wearing a white monk's robe, in surprise and teased.
Yu Xiaotian: ...
(If I don’t bring your soul back, I’m afraid I’ll really have to pray for your soul soon…)
"Third brother, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere. My wife wants to see you, so come back with me." Yu Xiaotian did not expose the fact that Han Yichen's soul had left his body, and coaxed him.
"Xiao Qingcheng...she wants to see me?"
Han Yichen, who thought he had lost his son, looked embarrassed.
"Yes, Third Brother. You came out so late, and your wife couldn't find you anywhere. She was so anxious that she cried." Yu Xiaotian continued to persuade.
"Xiao Qingcheng...she cried for me?" When Han Yichen heard this, the light in his narrow and long phoenix eyes dimmed slightly, and he felt heartbroken.
"But, third brother... (Han) Yunxuan... he is missing! I just searched the entire East Palace, and even checked every corner of the palace, but still couldn't find (Han) Yunxuan. I'm worried that something happened to him. I won't feel at ease until I see him return safely." Han Yichen said in embarrassment.
"(Han) Yunxuan?"
A hint of confusion flashed across Yu Xiaotian's bright peach eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Third brother, I thought you were worried about something! (Han) Yunxuan has now returned to Bingquanxuan to wait for you, but if you don't go there, I'm afraid he will really be angry with you!" Yu Xiaotian lied without blushing or beating his heart.
"Really? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yichen grabbed Yu Xiaotian's hand and ran quickly towards Bingquanxuan, fearing that his beloved son would be unhappy if he walked too slowly.
Soon, Han Yichen's soul and Yu Xiaotian returned to Bingquanxuan's dormitory.
"Xiaotian, where is (Han) Yunxuan?" Han Yichen looked around the dormitory but couldn't see his beloved son, so he asked in confusion.
“That’s…that’s…”
Han Yichen suddenly saw that there was another him on the bed, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Third brother~"
As soon as Yu Xiaotian finished speaking, before Han Yichen could react, Yu Xiaotian had already summoned his soul into his hands.
Yu Xiaotian formed a Buddha seal with one hand and immediately sent Han Yichen's soul back into his body. In order to avoid leaving a psychological shadow on Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian was also considerate enough to erase Han Yichen's memory of his soul leaving his body.
"Cough cough cough~"
After a while, Han Yichen, who was lying on the bed, slowly woke up.
"Achen~"
Hua Qingcheng, who was hiding behind the screen, saw that Yu Xiaotian had returned Han Yichen's soul to its place, and then she came out.
"Xiao Qingcheng, what's wrong with you?"
Under the dim light in the dormitory, Han Yichen looked puzzled when he saw Hua Qingcheng's red eyes filled with tears.
"It's nothing. I just couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I tried. I, I just felt a little scared for some reason..." Hua Qingcheng said with lingering fear.
She had just nearly lost this man who loved her so deeply...
"Xiao Qingcheng, when did you become so timid? Just now, I was just sleeping too soundly and didn't hear you calling..."
Han Yichen sat up from the bed, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking at Hua Qingcheng with a gentle face.
"Achen, it's not that I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but I can't rest easy until I see you safe and sound..."
Hua Qingcheng came to sit beside the bed, raised her hand to hook it around Han Yichen's neck, and kissed his lips tenderly. All her unspoken worries and love melted into the sweet kiss...
