Yun Qishen

Mo Li sighed, and his ghost beast helped him sit back on the bed and poured him a cup of tea.

Mo Li took a sip of tea and continued, "Mo Ruo, there's something very strange about Mo Langqin's situation. I probably can't go see him rashly; you'll have to go quietly and check on things. Only I can control the ghost beasts that Third Uncle uses for surveillance; you understand what I mean?"

Mo Ruo frowned and pursed his lips. He nodded and accepted the task of visiting Mo Langqin. "Brother Mo Li, you must be tired after a long afternoon. Lie down and rest."

"It's alright. When I was in the Elders' Council, the elders transferred some ghost power to me, and I'm much better now. Lying down for too long would make my body stiff." Mo Li was just thinking of urging Mo Ruo to take this opportunity to check on Mo Langqin when there was an urgent knock on the door.

[Knock knock knock!]

[Knock knock knock!]

The knocking was urgent, but no one could be heard calling out. An aura that didn't belong to a living person seeped into the room through the crack in the door. The person outside wasn't human, but there was no aura of ghosts or beasts either.

Mo Ruo stepped forward and opened the door. Yan Cang leaned forward and fell directly onto Mo Ruo. Yan Gui, the guardian spirit, raised his hand to stop him, but Mo Ruo caught Yan Cang first.

Yan Cang was panting heavily. She grabbed Mo Ruo and ran outside, shouting, "Come here! Help me save Mo Langqin! Hurry!"

"What are you doing all of a sudden! Don't grab me!" Mo Ruo pulled away from Yan Cang's hand and subconsciously looked at Mo Li behind her.

Mo Li emitted red ghostly power from his hand, as if he were casting some kind of spell. The ghostly power transformed into a ring that wrapped around Mo Ruo's ankle.

"Mo Ruo, why don't you go and take a look? Come back and tell me as soon as possible if anything happens."

Since Mo Li had said so, Mo Ruo followed Yan Cang to Mo Langqin's house.

Before they even reached Mo Langqin's house, a ghostly beast commanded by Mo He blocked their way.

Just when Yan Cang thought he would have to hide and lie in wait like he had when he came looking for her, Mo Ruo pulled her along and swaggered past the ghost beast.

This is all thanks to the ghostly power exerted by Mo Li.

They arrived at Mo Langqin's room without any obstacles, and the first thing Mo Ruo saw was Mo Langqin lying on the bed, breathing weakly.

Yan Cang said anxiously, "He just came back and he's already like this. His ghost power is flowing out and he can't stop crying. His head is hot but his body is ice cold. I think he's suffered some kind of shock and he's even lost his senses. But no matter how I call him, I can't bring him back to his senses."

That's why I came to find you. But I was delayed for too long on the way, and now his breathing is so weak..."

Mo Ruo leaned closer to examine Mo Langqin's condition. "His body is so cold, like a dead man..." Yan Cang had described Mo Langqin's symptoms in great detail, but Mo Ruo couldn't figure out the specific cause. Mo Ruo wasn't someone who knew healing arts; in the Mo family, only elders could learn healing arts. He didn't know what to do; he could only report it to the elders' council.

"In this situation, we can only call on the elders for help. If we don't hurry, Mo Langqin really won't be able to hold on." Mo Ruo turned to leave to find someone, but Yan Cang reached out and grabbed him.

"Don't call them! Please, please think of something! You can help me regain my body, so you can definitely save him too! Right? I beg you!" Yan Cang gripped Mo Ruo's wrists tightly with both hands, then knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "I had my reasons for going directly to you and Mo Li instead of those elders of the Mo family! If we call those elders now, Mo Langqin will be even more likely to die! Please! Save him!"

"It's no use begging me, I..." Mo Ruo felt uncomfortable looking at Yan Cang's tearful appearance. He focused his gaze on Mo Langqin's pale face for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Let me go..." Mo Ruo said softly, "I need to go back and talk to Brother Mo Li."

Yan Cang didn't let go; instead, he pulled even tighter. "I'll go with you!"

“No.” Mo Ruo shook off Yan Cang’s hand. “It was already too risky for you to go looking for us. You need to know that you are now a person in Yan Cang’s appearance, no longer a ghost beast. Along the way, there will be other disciples besides the other ghost beasts of the Mo family. I don’t know what happened when you went to find me and Mo Li, but we came back safely. But I can’t guarantee what will happen if you go out again, so you have to stay.”

Yan Cang was about to say something, but Mo Ruo didn't give her a chance to speak.

“I already know a lot about Mo Langqin’s situation. The situation is urgent, and I have to go and come back quickly.” Mo Ruo turned her head. “Not just you, I don’t want him to disappear either.”

After saying that, Mo Ruo ran away.

Yan Cang could only wait inside. Watching Mo Langqin's breathing grow weaker and weaker on the bed, her heart ached more and more. This was a heart-wrenching pain she had never experienced when she was a ghost beast. She wished time would stop, even fantasizing that if she had the ability to control time, she could be there for Mo Langqin in every moment of his life, changing the cause of any threat to his life, protecting him, and ensuring his eternal health and freedom from illness.

Yan Cang held Mo Langqin's hand and knelt by the bed, pressing her face against the cold back of his hand, feeling the pulsating veins beneath the cold skin.

"A white shadow..."

A voice that sounded like Mo Langqin suddenly rang in Yan Cang's ears. Yan Cang looked at Mo Langqin in surprise, but he did not see any signs that Mo Langqin had regained consciousness. He assumed that he was just hallucinating because he was worried.

After some time, there was a sound coming from the door.

Yan Cang looked expectantly towards the door. She believed that Mo Ruo and Mo Li must have come up with a solution.

Can……

It was Mo He who opened the door, followed by Mo Wangchuan. (End of Chapter)
