The gloomy voice faded away, and the summoning of spirits ended. But I stood there for a long time without reacting.
What's going on?
Why did Han Tianjiu turn into a devourer of Yang Qi? Who is controlling him? Why did he challenge me again?
Who exactly is manipulating all this behind the scenes? This feeling is too eerie.
"Ah, little master, what happened to her? How did she become like this?" Han Yi panicked voice came through, waking me up instantly. When I turned my head, I saw that she was holding Xie Yilin who had fainted with a pale face.
"Auntie, don't worry. It's okay. There was just a mistake earlier and she was hit by Yin Qi. Let me handle it and she'll be fine soon."
I quickly took over Xie Yilin and began to infuse her with vitality.
Xie Yilin's vitality had indeed been absorbed by Han Tianjiu's yin spirit but her injuries were not severe because I found out in time. The main reason why she fainted was due to being exposed to the mesmerizing ghost light in Han Tianjiu's eyes.
After infusing vitality for a while, Xie Yilin woke up.
When she woke up, her expression was inexplicable as she touched her forehead and looked around asking: "Tianjiu, where is he? Where did he go?"
"What happened just now? At first you were crying and laughing at the same time but then suddenly passed out?" Han Yi also had many doubts and couldn't help asking Xie Yilin: "Little girl, have you really seen our Tianjiu?"
"I saw him! It really was him! We even shook hands and talked but then I don't know how I passed out," said Xie Yilin looking at me before asking: "Liu Yiheng, what's going on?"
"I'll tell you more when we get back," I whispered to her and then turned to Han Yi saying: "Auntie, don't worry. Everything went smoothly and it's all over now."
"Yes, it's over. Auntie, don't worry. Tianjiu is doing well over there." Xie Yilin was quite clever and cooperated with me in comforting Han Yi.
After seeing this situation, Han Yi finally let go of her worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
We quickly packed up and left the cemetery.
When we returned to Han Yi's house, it was almost midnight. She gave me and Xie Yilin each a room to rest in for a while.
We were indeed tired so we lay down on the bed for a while after which I woke up close to noon smelling food being cooked. When I went out, I saw that Xie Yilin and Han Yi had already prepared lunch.
Seeing me come out they invited me to eat together. I nodded my head before washing up briefly in the yard then sat down with them for lunch.
After eating our meal, Xie Yilin asked me: "What happened last night?"
Thinking about it for a moment inside my heart before answering her question by asking one myself first: "Did you see clearly what Han Tianjiu looked like at that time?"
"I did but he didn't talk to me as if he had something on his mind," replied Xie Yilin frowning as she rode alongside me on the bike.
I'll tell you, the reason Han Tianjiu didn't talk to you is because he was in a confused state. His soul did not enter the underworld, and he was being controlled by someone. He has become a yang kui eater. Yesterday night, the reason why you fainted was because he sucked your yang energy and also put you under his spell," I said to Xie Yilin.
"What?!" Upon hearing my words, Xie Yilin stopped the car in shock and looked at me incredulously.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to stop the car as well and say to her: "I don't know exactly what happened. But before he left, he mentioned Mount Modu where the person who controls him seems to be located. So if we want to save him, we have to go up Mount Modu."
"Are you lying to me just for your own benefit?" Xie Yilin frowned at me.
"I can find Mount Modu myself. If I wanted to deceive someone, it should be someone with deep knowledge like me instead of deceiving someone like you who has no abilities whatsoever," I replied irritably.
"So how can we rescue Tianjiu from those bad people? Why do they want control over his soul?" Xie Yilin asked puzzledly.
"I cannot explain these things clearly because even I don't know them yet. We will only understand when we get there," I sighed helplessly and pushed our vehicle forward while saying: "I plan on leaving for Zhejiang tomorrow."
"What did you say?" Xie Yilin caught up with us quickly pushing our vehicle forward while asking me in surprise.
"I said that I'm going to Zhejiang tomorrow; I want to visit Mount Modu."
"You've really decided?" she asked looking at me intently.
"Yes," I nodded my head firmly.
"But what about school?" she asked.
"Whether I go to school or not doesn't matter. I have a natural talent for learning, and with my strong foundation, I can easily learn anything from books. So there's no need to worry about my studies," I replied confidently while looking at her: "Besides, even if I don't go to school, I won't have any problems surviving."
"Then tomorrow, let me accompany you," she pouted.
"But what about your teaching job?" I asked her.
"I'll quit; it doesn't matter whether or not I keep this job," she became stubborn.
I smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay then, let's be crazy together."
"Sure!" She nodded excitedly and rode ahead on the bike.
I followed closely behind her on the bike and asked: "Is the ticket expensive for going to Huzhou? Do you know how we should take the bus?"
"Don't worry; leave everything to me. Just follow me when the time comes," she said confidently.
"All right then. It's all up to you."
She turned around and looked at me before asking loudly against the wind: "Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" My mood was cheerful as we rode along so my voice was loud too.
"How did you know that I'm still a virgin?" She shouted back at me.
