"Xiao Bai!" A middle-aged man dressed in Daoist robes suddenly strode toward Shi Sheng with a furious expression. "Why are you here? Who brought you here?! "
Xiao Bai blinked innocently at first, then turned to look at Shi Sheng.
He had been kidnapped.
Shi Sheng waved his fist at him. Xiao Bai immediately lowered his head and meekly called out to the middle-aged man, "Master …"
While Xiao Bai was looking at Shi Sheng, the middle-aged man seemed to notice something and glanced in Feng Jin's direction.
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank when he saw Feng Jin. This man …
Is he the one from the Feng family?
He nodded calmly and politely.
His gaze swept over Feng Jin, but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He thought to himself, 'Maybe I'm mistaken.'
'This brat from the Feng family has too much of an aura.' The middle-aged man quickly averted his gaze.
He slapped Xiao Bai's head and angrily said, "Who brought you here?!"
He refused to believe that his slow-witted and stupid disciple would be able to find his way here on his own.
Xiao Bai felt wronged!
It wasn't like he wanted to come here.
'Master, you claim to be number one in the world, but why can't you see that arrogant ghost next to you?'
Of course, Xiao Bai didn't dare to say these words. He looked around and pointed innocently at An Su. "It's her."
An Su was surprised to be called out so suddenly. She pointed at herself with her index finger, then looked at Shi Sheng.
She silently swallowed her words of explanation.
An Su smiled awkwardly at Xiao Bai's master. "Um … I'm actually here to look for someone, but I couldn't find the place, so … But Xiao Bai said he wanted to bring me here. I didn't force him."
Shi Sheng gave An Su a thumbs up.
'Female Lead, you're good! You don't even blush when you lie now!'
"Xiao Bai!" Xiao Bai's master was furious. 'What did I tell you? You're not allowed to leave the mountain! You're not allowed to leave the mountain!'
'Are you treating my words like passing wind?!'
"When did I …" Xiao Bai trembled under Shi Sheng's fierce glare. He couldn't finish his sentence. "Master … I'm also curious … so …"
Xiao Bai's master pulled Xiao Bai to the side to teach him a lesson. Xiao Bai, this idiot, immediately sold out Shi Sheng.
However, Xiao Bai's master only ordered him not to speak carelessly. He had no intention of avenging his disciple at all.
Little White was depressed. Was he really his disciple?
Xiao Bai might not know about the Feng family, but how could he not know?
The Feng family was an exorcist family that had produced several generations of exorcists.
The title of Grandmaster was a title that all exorcists pursued for their entire lives. However, it was already incredible for a sect or lineage to have a Grandmaster.
The Feng family, on the other hand, had produced masters for several generations. It was the highest honor for exorcists. Even if the Feng family was not as glorious as before, their foundation was still incomparable to ordinary people.
It was obviously not wise to provoke him now …
Little White was taken away by Little White's master, leaving An Su standing alone behind Feng Jin.
Because she was standing so close to Feng Jin, many people glanced at her. They were curious as to who she was and why she was standing so close to the Feng family.
An Su cried out in distress. 'Why can't these people see Ghost-jiejie? Aren't exorcists supposed to be lofty?'
…
Shi Sheng leaned against Feng Jin's back and rested her head on his shoulder. Bored, she asked, "What are they all gathered here for?"
Was the Exorcist Summit just for chatting? That was way too boring.
"Wait for 12 o 'clock," Feng Jin comforted her softly. "There's still ten minutes. Be patient."
"We're going to enter this old residence?" Shi Sheng noticed that many people had been pointing at the old residence and guessed that they were going to enter it.
"This old residence is famous for being haunted," An Su answered timidly. An Su replied timidly. Seeing that Feng Jin didn't stop her, she mustered up her courage and said, "I heard that this family used to be a famous wealthy merchant from the Qing Dynasty. However, one night, the entire family died, and it was a tragic death …"
[Triggered Side Mission: Memory Fragments]
Just as she was getting into the story, she was suddenly interrupted by a system notification.
What?
What memory fragments?
[Search for Ning Ying's memories] The system gave her a thoughtful notification.
Ning Ying's memories …
F * ck!
How am I supposed to search for her? Are her memories scattered all over the place? What a scam!
# Always scammed by the system #
Shi Sheng's brain, which she didn't use much, quickly connected the dots.
The hidden mission's trigger condition was that the target was nearby.
And the side mission's trigger condition was the appearance of relevant information.
They were talking about the old residence just now …
Was Ning Ying related to the old residence?
How long had she been dead for?
The Qing dynasty! Over a hundred years!
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Jin reached out and patted Shi Sheng's head. He wasn't used to not hearing her speak for so long.
"Where did you pick me up?" This part of Ning Ying's memory didn't exist.
It seemed like … she had been by Feng Jin's side for as long as she could remember.
At the time, Feng Jin had just turned eighteen and had moved out of the Feng family.
Sometimes, Feng Jin wouldn't speak for an entire month. He'd have a gloomy expression on his face all day long. If he wasn't locked up in his room, he was taking her out to catch ghosts.
Feng Jin frowned. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I want to know how we met." Shi Sheng put on an exaggerated expression of deep affection.
"We …"
Feng Jin was about to say something when a loud voice rang out from the crowd. "Time's up. The rules are the same as in previous years. If you have no objections, then go in."
Everyone immediately stopped talking and lowered their heads to check their badges. Then, they put on a strange badge and entered the old residence in an orderly manner.
Feng Jin patted her head. "Let's go in first."
When An Su saw that there were still people outside who hadn't gone in, she immediately raised her hand. "Um, Sis … I won't be going in."
She didn't want to go in and experience it again.
Feng Jin didn't want to take her with him in the first place, so her not going was exactly what he wanted.
…
The old residence was even more sinister than Shi Sheng had imagined. Its dilapidated doors and windows were covered in dust and cobwebs.
It was so dark that they couldn't even see their own fingers. As soon as Shi Sheng entered, he tore off the talisman on his forehead.
Moreover, it was ridiculously large. At least thirty to forty people had entered, but they hadn't met a single person.
"What are we looking for in this residence? What is this Exorcist Summit for? "Shi Sheng expressed his confusion.
Feng Jin's heart trembled when he heard Shi Sheng say "we". She said it so naturally …
"The Exorcist Summit is held once every three years …" Feng Jin felt that Shi Sheng wouldn't have the patience to explain it in such profound terms. "In your words, it's a group of people who have nothing better to do than compete to see who's better."
"Indeed, they have nothing better to do." Shi Sheng nodded.
Feng Jin felt helpless. This was also to let these exorcists know that there were people they couldn't afford to offend in their territory, and which people they could bully and steal business from.
Exorcists were also humans. Apart from being given the ability to catch ghosts, they also had desires. If it weren't for these desires, not many people would be willing to take up the dangerous profession of exorcism.
"So, what are we doing here?" Why would we enter this dilapidated residence to fight?
