Since the direct killer and the mastermind were identified, Ding Yun saw no reason to delay further.
She immediately informed the village chief.
She told him which items in the house she still wanted but would temporarily leave there, and that she would contact him later to arrange for either her return to collect them or for him to mail them.
Then, she took a taxi to the train station to buy tickets.
Her small town had no airport, so she had to take a train to a big city first, then buy a plane ticket to the capital.
The journey was long and winding.
After more than ten hours, she finally arrived at her destination, the capital's airport, at just past nine o'clock the next morning. Upon arrival, Ding Yun did not call any of the villagers working in the capital as the village chief had instructed.
Many things could be done by herself.
Why bother others?
She wasn't a real child.
After leaving the airport, Ding Yun quickly found a budget hotel to stay in and began to ponder how to deal with that "White Moonlight." While internal conflicts within the Xuanmen were not heavily regulated, they couldn't be too overt. Therefore, she couldn't simply break into his house and harm him; she had to use Xuanmen methods.
"This is tricky. His birth details aren't real, and his face has likely been altered by cosmetic surgery. Although it's just minor adjustments, it has completely changed his appearance.
It seems he knew that his actions might offend other Xuanmen members and bring trouble upon himself, so he made many preparations in advance. Fine, I'll find out where he lives first. If that doesn't work, I don't have to use Xuanmen methods.
I can directly use my mental power to enter his dreams and destroy his soul!"
The Xuanmen techniques in this world, including the inheritance she received from her grandmother, had too many limitations.
After some thought, Ding Yun decided it would be less troublesome to just use her mental power. After all, mental power was the soul, and the destruction of the soul led to death. Moreover, no matter how they investigated, it would only appear to be an internal Xuanmen dispute.
With that decided, she immediately summoned her AI again. Based on information from the internet and the few traces left by the "White Moonlight," she tracked his whereabouts.
"Qin Hua Community? Isn't that the same complex where Li Anna lives? So, what's going on between him and Li Anna? Is he her long-term employee, or what? It's unlikely they're dating, and living in the same complex.
Wait, it actually seems quite possible. The price for a top feng shui master in this world is quite high. Li Anna was only a second-tier celebrity before, and although her income was substantial, her expenses were even greater. Funding the renovation of ancestral graves and compensating each family likely cost her a lot of money.
The remaining funds might not be enough to cover the payment.
Furthermore, no matter how discreetly this matter was handled, or how much money was spent to resolve the karma, it would still damage one's virtue. Even if a feng shui master were willing to take on such a job, they would certainly increase their fees.
Forget it, why overthink this?
Once I enter his dream, I'll know everything!"
With that thought, Ding Yun stopped dwelling on it. She quickly washed up and decided to rest, preparing to sleep well, then go out shopping, and finally, when everyone else was asleep, she would deal with the "White Moonlight."
She thought this, and she did it. She slept until three in the afternoon, then went out shopping, ate something, and returned to the budget hotel at nine in the evening.
This time, after washing up, she got into bed and watched TV. Considering that modern people tend to sleep late, she planned to stay up until one or two in the morning before going to deal with the "White Moonlight."
And then, as expected, the unexpected happened. Less than fifteen minutes after midnight, a ferocious ghost, enveloped in surging Yin energy, rushed towards Ding Yun.
"Good heavens, I haven't even gone to find him yet.
He's come looking for me first.
This is practically doorstep delivery."
Facing the sudden appearance of the ferocious ghost, Ding Yun was not flustered at all. She immediately used her mental power to completely seal off her room, then, like catching a turtle in a jar, used her mental power to control the ghost and forcibly stripped it of its Yin energy and resentment. This process was quite painful for the ghost.
Thus, for a time, the entire room was filled with shrill ghost wails. If Ding Yun hadn't sealed the room with her mental power beforehand, the entire budget hotel would have been disturbed, and news of a haunting would have spread the next day.
However, under Ding Yun's mental power seal, these sounds could not escape her room. Therefore, people in adjacent rooms continued with their activities, unaffected.
After about half an hour, Ding Yun had extracted most of the ghost's resentment and Yin energy, condensing it into a ball in her palm. At the same time, the ghost, although greatly weakened and its form unsteady, had at least regained its sanity.
"Were you sent by the 'White Moonlight'?"
Since it had regained its sanity, it meant communication was possible. Ding Yun immediately asked.
"White Moonlight?"
Cui Ling, who had just regained consciousness, was still a bit groggy. She blinked in confusion for a moment before understanding what Ding Yun had said. Then, she shook her head and hissed through gritted teeth, "Li Anna! It was Li Anna's beast!
I want to kill her, I want to kill her."
Perhaps due to extreme hatred, after only a few hisses, a trace of resentment emanated from her. Fortunately, the resentment was not strong enough to affect her sanity, so Ding Yun did not intervene further.
"Calm down and speak slowly. I also have a grudge against Li Anna. Tell me the whole story, Li Anna's specific situation, and everything you know.
Then I will help you get revenge!"
As she spoke, Ding Yun used her mental power to further awe the ghost in front of her, making a promise.
Under the terrifying pressure of her mental power, Cui Ling finally calmed down a little. After a moment of thought, she honestly said, "I used to be Li Anna's roommate. We graduated from the same school and shared an apartment.
At that time, we had a very good relationship.
But ever since I was selected by Director An Lan Chuan to play the third female lead, her attitude towards me changed. She started making sarcastic remarks, even occasionally mocking me, saying that I got the opportunity through my body. I knew she was jealous, so I didn't take it too seriously. I even brought her into the crew and got her a decent minor role.
Then, not only did she not appreciate it, she said I was being fake and wanted to bring her into the crew to be a maid.
However, she still accepted the opportunity in the end."
"Wait a moment. If I recall correctly, when 'An Lan Chuan' was broadcast, wasn't Li Anna the third female lead? She became somewhat famous through that drama.
And I don't recall hearing any news about you.
I never heard about any cast changes."
Ding Yun had a very good memory. When she was researching Li Anna, she had also looked into all of Li Anna's works and related matters. 'An Lan Chuan' was Li Anna's first drama where she played a non-extra role, so Ding Yun remembered it quite clearly.
