y: it has a projector, a round waterbed, crystal chandeliers, speakers, and a large-screen TV.That's nothing, there are also some other props...I stood dumbfounded at the entrance of the cloakroom, as...Mr. Ou immediately guessed my purpose was his car.

I had to tell the truth: “We suspect there might be some traces on your car. Otherwise, how would Xi Linzhou have ended up in the school parking lot I think she came for your car.”

Teacher Ou pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: “If that's the case, the day I saw her jump from the third floor, she was dazed and injured her foot. I had her get in the car and sent her back. She was drowsy in the car, confused and couldn't remember anything. She didn't seem to be looking for anything.”

“I guess she's only awake for a limited time! Maybe she's just occasionally conscious for a while, and the rest of the time she's dazed and confused. Let's check out your car just to be safe,” I suggested kindly. “If she left something dangerous behind, you and your family would be completely vulnerable.”

"Well, I don't have any scientific theories to refute you at the moment," Mr. Ou reluctantly nodded. "So, let's do it your way."

This guy... he's so reluctant.

He led me to the parking lot and to his luxury car. He opened all the doors and the trunk.

"Look around, what could possibly be hidden in my car" Teacher Ou crossed her arms and calmly inspected her vehicle.

Very clean, the car is almost spotless inside and there are no random items left lying around.

I crouched down and checked every nook and cranny, more diligently than the carwash attendant. Mr. Ou frowned and said, “Why do you think there’s something wrong with my car I’ve been driving it for a few days and haven’t felt anything amiss.”

"...Nothing wrong yet All the problems ran to your house, you're really stubborn." I muttered back.

Just as I turned my head, I saw a pair of white palms suddenly appear behind Mr. Ou.

"Ah!" I cried out, grabbing Teacher Ou's collar and pulling him closer.

"What are you doing!" he growled, stumbling back from me.

I pulled him closer and reached into my backpack for a rolled-up talisman. No matter what kind of ghost or goblin it was, as long as it wasn't a very powerful one, it would at least scare it away temporarily.

But those pale hands retracted, her quiet hands clasped together, hanging before her. Following along her arm, I saw that she was an ordinary-looking young woman.

To say she's ordinary looking would be too polite. This woman's appearance... is rather difficult to describe.

As the saying goes, "One white covers a hundred ugliness," but her pale skin can't hide her distinctive features.

A long, thin horse face, prominent cheekbones, high eyebrows, and heavy makeup...

If I have to be blunt, I'd say she had the look of a widow.

"...Who are you" I asked warily.

This pale-skinned, ugly woman scowled at me and pointed to the back of her car. “Sorry, my car got stuck, I’m not very good at reversing. I want to ask someone for help… handsome guy, can you help me reverse my car out”

Ou-laoshi tidied his clothes, and at this moment he knew I hadn't intentionally pulled on his collar. The expression on his face softened considerably.

He heard the woman's request, pushed his glasses up just about to say "okay"——

"No way! We're packing the car, we don't have time to help you back up. Just call your boyfriend over to help!" I stopped Ms. Ou and said to her bluntly.

The woman took a step back, startled by my voice, and muttered, "I didn't ask for your help. What are you yelling about..."

"You wasted our time! I'm not happy about this, alright Find someone else to help, we don't have time for this!" I raised my hand and waved it dismissively.

The woman spat, turned around, and walked away in high heels, swaying her hips.

"A multitude of ugly people make mischief!" I made a face at her back.

Teacher Ou looked at me speechless: "...You're quite fierce, Yin Luo."

"I'm protecting you! Don't talk to strangers, understand" I said with a frown. "I was tricked by some weird people before, so I'm very hostile towards anyone who suddenly appears."

Mrs. Ou shrugged and began to bend down with me to look for it together.

As I was crouching down to check the underside of the car, a car suddenly drove towards us from across the street, its headlights flashing wildly as it sped straight toward us.

I'm fine here, but Mr. Ou is facing away from the car, he's bending over and looking under the rear floor mat—

"Hey—Teacher, watch out!" I hurriedly raised my head and shouted.

In the blink of an eye, I saw a translucent thing suddenly appear and grow larger, and Mr. Ou vanished in an instant!

This is——

That white sedan skidded and sped towards the exit.

If I hadn't seen Mu Wanchen the past two days, I wouldn't have known how he brought Xi Linzhou out. Now, I'd probably be stunned speechless.

Luckily I saw it before!

Gu spirits can use their own bodies as cover, using their physical forms to conceal people. Of course, this is only a temporary measure and cannot hide for too long.

Xi Linzhou was brought out like this and then taken to the back mountain of my house and handed over to Zhao Jie.

It must be that ugly woman from before! Damn it, I told you there was something wrong with strangers!

As I reached for my phone to call Master Yunfan, I pulled out the pouch and called out to Mu Wanchen.

The small pouch was tiny, with the little paper figure curled up inside, diligently serving as a communication tool.

This luxury car is fingerprint-recognized, and the car key is still with Mr. Ou. I can't drive to chase after him. I'm so anxious.

Mu Wanchen soon appeared beside me, reaching out to grasp my shoulders and saying, "…What are you so anxious about"

"Can't I just be a little impatient! There's a car right in front of me, but all I can do is stare. Without the keys, I can't open it - Master Yunfan coming over will take time, maybe the stir-fried yellow cauliflower will get cold by then!"

"The soul seal left a trace on him, and the Gu spirits can track him through his breath. As long as he doesn't run hundreds of miles away, they'll be able to catch up." Mu Wanchen pinched my shoulders, trying to stop me from getting too excited.

Hundreds of kilometers, that's over a hundred miles. Even if you drive at top speed, it's impossible to cover a hundred miles instantly. It should be possible to catch up.

Master Yun Fan came in person by car, and even his junior wife was there! I instantly felt "safe".

Having a junior disciple means there's a master supporting her from behind. Although the master usually doesn't meddle in mundane affairs, anything involving his junior disciple... that's no longer considered mundane.

Yun Fan, my master, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth without lighting it. He said to me, "Little Yin Luo, report your direction, this old man is rarely driving himself."

"Don't open it too quickly!" the little wife immediately shouted at her brother.

"Chasing after them, how can we be slow! Zhao Jie and Xi Lingzhou's group are reckless and impulsive. Using them as bait is excellent—we might just catch a big fish this time! If the Dragon King's minions dare to extend their claws, I'll chop one off. Let's see when that old geezer decides to join the fray himself!"

Yun Fan, the master, took a drag of his cigarette and said nonchalantly.

"... Master Yun Fan, you're kind of handsome, in a cool and rebellious way." I whispered, cheering for Master Yun Fan.

"Humph, you only know now. Back in my day, I was the most sought-after bachelor around." Master Yun Fan chuckled lightly, slammed his foot on the accelerator, and sent me tumbling in the back seat.

Mu Wanchen reached out and hugged me, frowning at Yun Fan and saying, "Yun Fan, be careful."

Yun Fan, our master, glanced at us from the rearview mirror, spat in a low voice, and muttered, "This is some dog food..."

>pinched my chin.He dragged me to the corner, using a back door passage to take me straight home.My brother actually had Jiang Qiyun come and pick me up personally. My uncle's really putting on a show,...
