This celestial master cultivates both physical and magical arts; why did you provoke him?

Xia En did not answer Liu Ruyan's sudden question.

He turned and looked at the half-open door.

A dim, yellowish light shone through the crack in the door, along with a faint, eerie atmosphere.

It is not an evil thing.

It's an obsession.

An obsession that has been artificially guided and amplified.

"Someone is taking advantage of her sadness."

Xia En said, "She knew Lin Yue was dead, but she refused to accept it."

"That person took advantage of this, pretending to be Lin Yue and contacting her, making her fall deeper and deeper into the trap."

Liu Ruyan panicked: "What should we do then?"

Xia En thought for a moment and said:

"She needs to see the truth with her own eyes."

"How did you see it?"

Xia En took out a talisman from his pocket.

"A talisman for summoning souls."

He said, "Lin Yue has only been dead for half a month, his soul should not have gone far yet."

"I can try to summon his spirit so that Su Wanqing can see with her own eyes that Lin Yue is gone and that the person she is in contact with is not him."

Liu Ruyan hesitated:

"Wouldn't this be too much of a shock for her?"

"meeting."

"But it's the fastest way," Shane said.

"The longer it drags on, the deeper she gets trapped, and the harder it is for her to get out."

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and nodded.

I believe you.

Xia En walked back into the house and came to Su Wanqing.

"Su Wanqing,"

He said, "Do you want to see Lin Yue?"

Su Wanqing suddenly raised her head, and her empty eyes suddenly lit up.

"You...you can let me see him?"

"able."

Shane said, "But you have to be prepared. You might be in a lot of pain after you meet him."

Su Wanqing smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I'm already in so much pain," she said. "Could it get any worse?"

Xia En looked at her and remained silent for two seconds.

Then he stuck the talisman on her forehead.

"Close your eyes. No matter what you hear or see, don't open them."

"Wait until I call you before you open your eyes."

Su Wanqing obediently closed her eyes.

Xia En took a step back and formed a hand seal.

"Thunder Magic - Summoning Souls"

A tiny bolt of lightning shot from his fingertip and entered Su Wanqing's forehead.

The room suddenly went dark.

The light from the table lamp became dim and weak, and the sound of rain outside the window suddenly disappeared.

The air grew cold, and an indescribable sense of oppression spread through the air.

Then, a faint figure appeared in front of Su Wanqing.

He was a boy in his early twenties, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and looked sunny and handsome.

It looks exactly like Lin Yue's photo.

But it is translucent, like a shape formed by a condensation of thin mist.

Su Wanqing had her eyes closed, but she could feel it.

"Lin Yue?"

Her voice was trembling.

The figure looked at her, its eyes filled with heartache and helplessness.

"Late Spring..."

He spoke, his voice soft and fleeting like the wind, "You should let go."

Su Wanqing burst into tears.

"I don't want to! You said you'd come back to me! You said we'd never separate again!"

"I'm already gone."

The figure said, "Wanqing, I'm gone. The person who contacted you wasn't me."

Su Wanqing was startled.

"You lied to me..."

"I didn't lie to you."

The voice grew fainter and fainter, fading into the distance, "Wanqing, you must live well. Don't ruin yourself for my sake."

His figure began to fade, like mist dissipating in the sunlight.

"No—!!" Su Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes.

The room has returned to normal.

The lamplight was still dim and yellow, and the sound of rain outside the window returned.

But the figure had already disappeared.

Su Wanqing slumped onto the bed, tears streaming down her face.

"He's gone...he's really gone..."

Liu Ruyan rushed over and hugged her.

"Late Spring..."

Su Wanqing leaned on Liu Ruyan's shoulder and finally burst into tears.

This wasn't the empty, numb crying of before; it was a real, heart-wrenching cry.

Xia En stood to the side, watching this scene, and remained silent for a long time.

Then he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Fang Zijian followed him out and asked in a low voice:

"That's it?"

Xia En didn't answer, but walked to the living room window and drew back the curtains.

The rain was still falling, and the sky was overcast.

There was a cell phone on the windowsill.

The phone screen is lit up, displaying the WeChat chat interface.

The note reads: "Late Spring?"

The last message was from Su Wanqing:

"Lin Yue, when are you coming back?"

Next to the message was a red exclamation mark.

The other party is no longer a friend.

Fang Zijian leaned over for a look and gasped.

"That person... deleted their WeChat account?"

Xia En nodded.

He doesn't need it anymore.

He said, "He has achieved his goal."

"What's the purpose?"

Xia En didn't answer, she just looked out the window.

That person's goal was not to harm Su Wanqing.

Instead, they wanted to find another person through Su Wanqing.

Someone more important than Su Wanqing.

"Let's go."

He said.

Fang Zijian was taken aback: "Where to?"

"Back to the hotel."

"Just give up?"

"That's all."

Xia En put on his coat. "The rest is a matter of time."

He walked out the door and went downstairs.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped.

A person stands in the rain.

He was a young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, wearing a black hoodie with the hood pulled down low, so his face was not visible.

He stood in the rain, soaked to the bone, but motionless.

Xia En looked at him.

The man was also looking at Xia En.

The silence lasted for about ten seconds.

Then the person spoke.

"You're Xia En?"

"it's me."

The man slowly raised his head, revealing his face beneath the brim of his hat.

He was very young and had delicate features, but his face was pale and his lips were blue.

His eyes are the most striking feature.

Heterochromatic twins!

One eye is a normal black, while the other is an eerie silver-white, with its pupil pointing vertically like a cat's.

"My name is Shen Ye," he said. "I've come to find you."

"What do you want from me?"

Shen Ye paused for a moment, then said:

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help?"

"Help me find someone."

Xia En looked at him without saying anything.

Shen Ye took something out of his pocket and handed it over.

It's a bronze medal.

The bronze plaque is engraved with a symbol, an eye.

It's exactly the same as the logo of an evil cult.

Xia En squinted.

"Are you a member of an evil cult?"

"It used to be."

Shen Ye said, "But it's not like that now."

Why?

Shen Ye remained silent for a long time.

Then he spoke, his voice very soft.

"Because they killed my sister."

It's still raining.

Xia En stood in the rain, looking at the young man in front of him.

He had a strong yin energy, but it wasn't the kind of yin energy that evil things have.

Yes……

A certain altered aura.

This person is no ordinary person.

"Who is your sister?" Xia En asked.

Shen Ye took a photo out of his pocket and handed it over.

The photo shows a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with pigtails, smiling happily.

Her eyes were big and bright, like two stars.

But Shane noticed a blurry mark in the lower right corner of the photo.

One eye.

"Her name is Shen Yue."

Shen Ye said, "Three months ago, people from the Evil Spirit Cult took her away."

"They say she's a container, something to be used to hold."

His voice was calm, but his hand holding the photo was trembling.

"I've been looking for her for three months, but I haven't found a single clue."

"Until a few days ago, I heard that a very powerful Taoist master appeared in Jiangzhou..."

He looked at Xia En, a hint of expectation flashing in his silver-white eyes.

"I would like to ask you to help me find her."

Xia En stared at the photo in silence for a long time.

Then he returned the photo to Shen Ye.

"Can."

Shen Ye's eyes lit up:

"How much?"

Xia En thought for a moment and said:

Three million.
