"Master." Jiang Heng handed the ghost stone to Jiang Yicheng.

Jiang Yicheng didn't take it. For him, ghost stones obtained without personally slaying the evil spirit weren't honorable.

"Keep it!"

Jiang Heng was stunned, somewhat pleasantly surprised. Without another word, he accepted the ghost stone.

With Chen Ning dead, they naturally had to leave the abandoned house.

As they walked out of the abandoned house, several beams of green light suddenly fell from the sky towards the woods.

Based on the location, Yuan Muye roughly estimated that the green lights landed where the evil spirits had their stronghold.

But what were those green lights?

"Master, should we go take a look?" Jiang Yan suggested.

Jiang Yicheng shook his head with a serious expression, saying, "Let's go back first!"

What happened tonight gave Jiang Yicheng an inexplicable feeling, a sense that something was bound to happen if they stayed any longer.

Jiang Yicheng wasn't afraid of trouble, but his ominous premonition was strong, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

As for the matter in the woods, it wouldn't be too late to investigate it after dawn.

Yuan Muye didn't say much. At this moment, it was better to leave with them.

And so, they headed back.

But halfway there, Jin Nuoyan, who had supposedly left already, suddenly rushed out from the side without warning.

Before Yuan Muye could react, she fainted in his arms.

"Jin Nuoyan?" Yuan Muye was surprised.

When they separated earlier, Jin Nuoyan was clearly fine. How could something have happened so quickly?

Jin Nuoyan didn't respond at all, so Yuan Muye could only carry her on his back.

"Are you close to this woman?" Jiang Yan asked, looking at Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye didn't want to answer her question, but remembering that she had helped him earlier, he responded anyway.

"Not close, I've only met her twice."

Jiang Yan looked surprised. "You've only met her twice, so why are you bothering with her?"

Faced with her questioning, Yuan Muye didn't know what to say.

Under normal circumstances, wouldn't anyone abandon Jin Nuoyan?

Besides, just the fact that Jin Nuoyan was a demon hunter was worth saving her.

The world desperately needed people like her.

If Jin Nuoyan died, it would be a loss to them.

"She's a very powerful demon hunter. If she dies, don't you think it's a loss?" Yuan Muye asked Jiang Yan calmly.

Jiang Yan widened her eyes. At first, she thought Yuan Muye was just a young man who liked to show off, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

This also proved that she was right to help Yuan Muye earlier.

"Alright, stop talking so much. The yin qi nearby is very strong. Now that the leader of the evil spirits is dead, more are sure to come soon. Let's get out of here!" Jiang Yicheng said in a low voice.

The group quickly headed outside.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car.

Soon, they returned to Yun City.

Just as Yuan Muye was wondering what to do with Jin Nuoyan, Jiang Yan took the initiative to say, "Yuan Muye, why don't you leave this girl named Jin Nuoyan with me? It's not convenient for a big man like you to take care of a girl."

Yuan Muye glanced at Jiang Yan, and the way she looked at him made him feel like she thought he'd take advantage of Jin Nuoyan.

But since she offered, what reason did he have to refuse?

"Alright!" Yuan Muye directly handed Jin Nuoyan over to Jiang Yan, then got out of the car.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yicheng, he prepared to go back.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan suddenly got out of the car, mysteriously pulled him to the side, and said with a grin, "Yuan Muye, I helped you tonight. How do you plan to thank me?"

She originally planned to bring this up the next time she saw Yuan Muye, but she was afraid he'd try to weasel out of it, so she brought it up now.

Yuan Muye frowned slightly, and asked Jiang Yan in return, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do. You go back now!"

After speaking, Jiang Yan returned directly to the car.

Yuan Muye didn't expect to be caught by Jiang Yan, what a headache.

But fortunately, Jiang Yan wasn't the kind of unreasonable woman, so he wasn't afraid she'd spread it around.

By the time Yuan Muye returned to his apartment, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

He came out of the elevator and saw someone squatting at the door, which startled him. He thought he was being targeted.

Getting closer, he saw that it was Yu Haijing.

"President Yu, why are you here?" Yuan Muye was very surprised.

Come to think of it, Yu Haijing hadn't contacted them for a while, so her sudden appearance here was really strange.

Yu Haijing looked at Yuan Muye with red eyes, then threw herself into his arms and began to cry softly.

Yuan Muye was a little confused by Yu Haijing's actions.

"President Yu, what happened?"

Yu Haijing had come so late and was crying, even a fool could tell that something must have happened.

"Waaah…"

Yu Haijing didn't say anything, just kept crying.

After some comforting from Yuan Muye, Yu Haijing's emotions finally stabilized. She wiped away her tears and opened her mouth, "Tonight, Ouyang Qingming's people went to see my parents. That beast, he…"

Speaking to this point, Yu Haijing's eyes became moist again.

Yuan Muye immediately knew what was going on.

"Are your uncle and aunt alright?"

"My parents were beaten to death by that beast's people!"

Yu Haijing said these words through gritted teeth.

Looking at the somewhat disheveled and haggard Yu Haijing, Yuan Muye felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although he didn't particularly like Yu Haijing, and even felt a bit repulsed by her before, seeing her crying so sadly made him feel less repulsed.

After all, he could empathize with the pain of losing loved ones.

"Is it because of the company?" Yuan Muye asked tentatively.

Yu Haijing nodded, "That guy used every means to acquire my company. Seeing that I was still unwilling to compromise, he targeted my parents!"

Ouyang Qingming was truly a beast!

No matter what, he shouldn't have harmed her family!

Indeed, people are often more terrifying than ghosts.

Ouyang Qingming's actions were no better than those of a beast.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk!"

Yuan Muye invited Yu Haijing into the house. At this time, only Li Pangpang was in the house.

Yuan Xiaoyao and the others had all gone to the Jade Stone World.

It was safer to send them to the Jade Stone World when he wasn't around.

Li Pangpang was dozing off on the sofa. Hearing the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes and was stunned to see Yu Haijing and Yuan Muye returning together.

"President Yu, why are you here?"

Soon, Li Pangpang noticed Yu Haijing's red eyes and realized that something must have happened.

"Pang Ge, go pour a glass of hot water."
