Seeing that the resentment was getting out of control, Qi Jingcai took action. He threw out a piece of talisman paper and directly dispersed the resentment that Huo Yan had aroused.
"Don't be sad, at least you still have your adopted son, the child you wanted to save in the beginning." Qi Jing comforted him, "Although that person raised him with your body, he is dying soon."
Gu Zhou looked at Qi Jing suspiciously. What's the difference between comforting and stabbing someone in the back?
Qi Qi and Qi Yue were also speechless. What's the use of adopting a son when his wife and children are dead? What's more, he didn't raise the son, but his enemy. How could Qi Jing say such a thing?
Qi Yao was the most direct, "Uncle, do you think he's not pitiful enough?"
Qi Jing blinked. He didn't. He was serious. Huo Yuanqi's last name was Huo, so he was really Huo Yan's adopted son.
Gu Zhou held his forehead and looked at Huo Yan, who had been calmed down by Qi Jingyuan's energy. "You stay at the Qi family first. I will go to Xuanmen in a few days and take your body back. Now I want to ask you, what exactly does Xuanmen Tianji do? Who are its members?"
Huo Yan answered without reservation, "Tianji is a group of Xuanmen elders and masters of the younger generation. They are here to take back the formation book and deal with that group of mysterious evil cultivators."
"Where's Xie Shaoyun? Is he also from Tianji?"
Huo Yan nodded. "Shao Yun is my senior brother. He is an upright man with profound Taoist knowledge. He is considered one of the main leaders of Tianji. If it was Shao Yun, perhaps he would be able to discover my abnormality. I originally planned to escape from the underworld to find him."
Qi Mo listened for a long time and finally spoke, "Master Huo said that there was more than one person who stole the formation book, but a group. If they can take Master Huo's body, what about the others? Is that possible?"
This sentence made everyone present fall into deep thought, and Qi Mo's words hit the point completely.
Qi Mo continued, "It's been seventeen years since Sect Master Huo's body was taken away. Xuanmen must have experienced a lot in these seventeen years. If someone really discovered that the Sect Master was abnormal, would he use the same method to let his accomplices occupy the bodies of other Xuanmen members? And the person who cast the spell that my uncle saw last night was Xuanmen Tianji. So it seems that there is a high probability that the members of Tianji have been assimilated."
As for how they were assimilated, it is hard to guess. Perhaps they were bewitched, or perhaps their souls were simply replaced.
Qi Jing protected his head with his hands. It was so confusing, so annoying, and becoming more and more complicated.
Qi Jun's expression was also very heavy. "Now we can only go to Xuanmen."
Qi Jun interrupted Qi Jing and looked at Huo Yan. "Stay at the Qi family first. Don't let anyone from Xuanmen find you. We need to investigate the current situation of Xuanmen."
Huo Yan had no choice but to nod and bowed to Qi Jun, saying, "Thank you, Second Master, for taking me in."
Qi Jun nodded, and Gu Zhou put Huo Yan back into the talisman paper and handed it to Qi Jun.
Qi Jun accepted it, and everyone at the table looked at the female ghost in the corner.
The female ghost was still trembling with fear. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she lowered her head and whimpered softly. She was really scared.
"Then what should we do with this female ghost?" Qi Qi asked. Although it was her first time seeing a ghost, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she felt that the female ghost was a bit pitiful.
Qi Jing pursed his lips and said, "Karma is involved, this time I have to fulfill her wish."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows and placed his hand on Qi Yao's shoulder, "I'm relying on you!"
"Get lost!" Qi Yao slapped him away. "Her wish is none of my business."
"You can't say that. She had no intention of harming you, and you were destined to be together. You don't need to do anything else. Find out the cause of her death and help her resolve her obsession with the human world. That can be considered a good deed."
"Why don't you go and do something to accumulate virtue!" Qi Yaocai didn't want to have anything to do with a ghost, that was not a big deal.
Gu Zhou looked mysterious and said, "I have more important things to do. Besides, didn't you see that she is afraid of me?"
It is obvious that she is afraid. The female ghost is afraid of everything and is a real coward.
Qi Mo ignored the quarrel between the two and reminded Qi Yue, "Yueyue, go ask."
"good."
Qi Yue got up and left. Qi Qi hesitated for a while and then followed. Mo Chuxia watched, thought for a while, and followed with the little fox in her arms.
However, Qi Jing still wanted to say that girls are very attractive to each other. While he was eating, the female ghost was pulled out from the corner by three girls.
Not only that, the three girls also dressed up the female ghost carefully. She wore a beautiful floral long skirt, had long straight black hair, and with her pale and clean face, she really looked a bit like White Moonlight.
Qi Yao was completely blinded. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "So this is what you look like."
He really couldn't believe it. When he was bewitched by the female ghost, he didn't remember the face clearly at all. What followed was the miserable appearance of the female ghost falling down the stairs.
The female ghost was shy and pinched her skirt, feeling very uneasy. She looked around anxiously, but couldn't find anything.
Qi Qi stepped forward to protect the female ghost and glared at Qi Yao unhappily, "Little pervert!"
"Hey!" Qi Yao's temper was almost uncontrollable, "Are you still my sister? You're talking about your brother like that!"
"That's right. If you're not a pervert, why are you staring at Sister Yaoyao so directly?" Qi Qi snorted, then turned around and said to the female ghost very gently, "Don't be afraid, Sister Yaoyao. Great-grandfather and little uncle are both good people. They won't hurt you!"
The female ghost nodded weakly and smiled at Qi Qi. She didn't smile like a bloody monster, but just curled the corners of her mouth, and her smile was very gentle.
Qi Yao was stunned again. He bumped into Gu Zhou's shoulder and said, "They're both laughing, why is there such a big difference?"
"Because you are a man." Gu Zhou pushed him away rudely and turned to ask the female ghost, "What's your name? How did you die? What do you want to do in the human world?"
The female ghost pursed her lips and lowered her head, looking weak again, and her body began to tremble slightly.
Qi Yue sighed slightly as she walked over and handed the tablet to Qi Jing. "This is the news report from that time."
Qi Jing took it in a daze. It was a blurry photo of the scene. In the corner was an enlarged photo of a girl, which was indeed a female ghost.
The title was a few large words: a female college student jumped to her death after being exposed as a mistress.
Qi Yao also came over to take a look. Seeing the content, he was furious. "Damn it! What a rubbish reporter reporting nonsense!!"
Qi Yao was slapped on the head just after he finished scolding. Qi Mo said in a serious tone, "Speak properly!"
Qi Yao wilted for a moment, but stood up again the next second, "I'm cursing! Brother! Look at what those are!"
"I know." Qi Mo answered calmly. After the female ghost was persuaded to leave by Qi Yue and the others, he did a quick check.
Qi Mo handed the teacup in his hand to Qi Jun, his eyes falling on the female ghost. "Her name is Mu Yao. She comes from an ordinary working-class family. She attended that university sixteen years ago. She committed suicide by jumping off a building in the second half of her freshman year. Reports say she jumped to her death because of the criticism she felt for interfering."
