Su Yue's ear tips turned red. She had never been this close to anyone other than her parents! However, looking at Xing Yuan's innocent eyes, she suddenly felt her own thoughts were not pure enough. How could she misunderstand their pure camaraderie?
Su Yue coughed lightly, her gaze sweeping over Hu Bing and Yuan Li, who hadn't realized what had happened at all. The faint red on her ear tips faded, and she regained the leadership aura she usually had when facing others.
"Alright, all of you, hurry up and keep watch! If you notice anything unusual, send a signal, and others will rush over immediately." As she spoke, Su Yue dared not look at Xing Yuan, as her previous actions were still lingering in her mind, making her feel uneasy all over.
Xing Yuan looked at her elder sister's demeanor and felt a little guilty. She had been raised by her elder sister since childhood. She knew everything her elder sister liked and disliked! That's why she always knew how to quickly gain her elder sister's trust.
Although the person in front of her was not the complete elder sister, a person's nature was hard to change. Even if one deliberately acted cold, malicious, or fragile due to the experiences in their growth process, deep down, there would always be a soft spot. As long as the right method was used, their true nature could be released from its cage.
After everyone assigned their positions, they quickly discovered that Wang Yuan was missing. They immediately split up to search for him.
Xing Yuan yawned lazily. If they actually found the person, it would be a ghost! By now, Wang Yuan was probably having his beautiful dreams. After Pan Ya dealt with him, she would then naturally release her aura to be caught by them. This mission would be successfully completed.
Things went even smoother than Xing Yuan had anticipated. Although the members of the Exorcism Division each had their own abilities, they were still a bit short of finding Pan Ya.
The moment Wang Yuan's breath ceased, Pan Ya deliberately pretended to escape, leading the group to capture him.
The boy was trapped by the Ghost Restraining Net, like a trapped beast, curled up in a corner. Although his abilities were strong, they also had a rare side effect: a two-day weakness period after each use. At this moment, under the suppression of the Ghost Restraining Net on the spectral entity, Pan Ya weakly fainted.
Yuan Li's eyes sparkled with excitement. This was the first spectral entity she had captured, and it held special commemorative value for her. When she returned, she would brag to Lu Yuan that she had captured a spectral entity before him.
Lu Yuan and Yuan Li had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, studying and working together. However, their interactions were like those of a bickering couple, always wanting to outdo each other.
Su Yue was the first to arrive at the scene, followed by the others. When everyone saw that the spectral entity they thought was ferocious was actually a little boy, their eyes involuntarily showed surprise.
Su Yue took a few steps forward and saw Wang Yuan's corpse not far away. Although she felt that the guy deserved to die, she still felt a bit guilty, as she could have saved him. A person's guilt should be judged by the law, not by others.
Hu Bing took out the spectral flag he carried and put Pan Ya inside. Whether he was guilty or not should not be judged by them, but by those specifically responsible for such matters.
The group contacted the local police to clean up the mess and prepared to return to the Exorcism Division.
However, as they just reached the outskirts of the city, a mysterious old man in a black robe suddenly blocked their car. The old man's eyes were fixed on Xing Yuan, and a look of obsession appeared on his face.
Yes, it was her! He had searched for so many years, and he hadn't expected this! To feel her aura here. Heaven was truly helping him!
"Old sir, is there something you need?" Yuan Li curiously poked her head out.
The old man did not speak. He struck the car with his palm. The group immediately jumped out of the car, dodging the attack. But the car behind them was not so lucky; it directly declared its demise to everyone.
Hu Bing glared at the old man, but ultimately, he was still wary of the old man's strength. "Who are you? What do you want?"
The old man's expression was somewhat dazed. Who was he? It didn't matter; he was about to become a god.
Then he removed his black robe, revealing his wrinkled face, and said to Xing Yuan, "Ah Xing, you made me search so hard! Can't you just be good?"
Xing Yuan frowned, looking around to confirm that the old man was speaking to her. She didn't recognize him! Could he be an acquaintance of the original host?
Seeing Xing Yuan's silence, the old man thought he had been rejected and immediately attacked her.
The old man's strength was extraordinary, and his attacks were fierce. Xing Yuan couldn't afford to maintain her disguise during the fight, and they exchanged blows.
Finally, Wu Yi's body couldn't withstand such a powerful confrontation. Her reaction was slightly delayed, and she was sent flying by the old man.
Xing Yuan was directly punched out of her body by the old man. But miraculously, Xing Yuan did not turn into a black mist as before. Instead, she directly condensed into a beautiful young girl.
At the same time, many memories that did not belong to her suddenly appeared in Xing Yuan's mind. Xing Yuan clutched her head in pain. The old man also stayed put, no longer attacking, and quietly waited for her to process the memories.
Everything happened too quickly. By the time Su Yue and the others recovered, they saw the old man standing in the distance, the Wu Yi they thought they knew lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and a girl who had clearly transformed into a spectral entity.
These events left everyone unsure of who to help. Seeing that the old man had no intention of killing, they decided to observe the situation from where they were.
