"Fine, fine, fine, it's all my fault!"
The two had a private chat.
"I felt it today too, Bai is a bit off!" Zhou Hong snuggled into Chen Li's arms and whispered, "He looks sinister, as if he's going to devour someone!"
"Avoid contact with him these next couple of days; fortunately, we're leaving tomorrow!" Chen Li said.
"What if he doesn't leave?"
"Then we'll just have to send him off early." Chen Li spoke gravely and sighed, "It's not that I am ruthless and unsentimental, if we keep dragging this out, who knows what might happen? We live right next door; we'll be the first to get affected!"
"It's not your fault, you're doing the right thing," Zhou Hong said softly. "I heard that people possessed by evil who cannot be saved will eventually turn into evil wraiths. And Bai, being a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, if he fully succumbs to the evil... it's frightening to think about."
...
Late at night.
In the bedroom of the next-door neighbor Bai Jinwang.
