The man stroked his chin as he looked at the patterned designs on her sleeves and arms, nodding and saying, "Indeed, it's true. The family crest of an outer circle with a pentagram inside. I can be sure you are a member of the Ouyang Family!"
Xiang Xueer pulled her sleeve to take a look and indeed saw a pentagram embroidered on it, surrounded by a circle. What is this, Pythagorean theorem? She felt confused, could it be that I have transmigrated?
"I'll take you back to the Ouyang Family! I am an Exorcist from the Blue Dye Clan, my name is Qingtian. May I ask for your name, miss?" The man said respectfully. Xiang Xueer glanced at him; having seen many people, she sensed that this man posed no danger to her.
"Just call me Xiang Xueer!" After she finished speaking, she took off her shoes and socks. Seeing her pale feet, Qingtian quickly turned his head away in embarrassment. She gritted her teeth, and with a few cracking sounds of dislocated bones realigning, she decisively set her dislocated ankle back in place.
Qingtian turned his head back, eyes wide as he looked at Xiang Xueer. After a moment, he exclaimed, "I didn't expect that an Exorcist from the Ouyang Family would also know how to set bones! That's truly impressive!"
Xiang Xueer turned to look at him with interest, stroking her chin. This man is not bad; his looks, physique, personality, and abilities are all quite exceptional. She leaned against the tree and raised her chin, asking, "You say you're an Exorcist? So those two tigers earlier were your companions?"
"Hehe!" Qingtian laughed upon hearing this. "How could you not know this as an Exorcist? I am a summoning-type Exorcist; they are my Demon Beasts!"
I see now; bringing two tigers out is actually quite cool. Xiang Xueer stroked her chin while leaning against the tree. "Ah, right! I hit my head earlier and can't remember many things. Why don't you tell me about Exorcists?"
Qingtian looked at her in astonishment for a moment before he began to explain slowly: "The world is not peaceful; wars are breaking out continuously, and magical beasts are becoming more numerous. Our Exorcist clan has existed for hundreds of years now. The two most powerful Exorcist clans currently are the Ouyang Family and our Blue Dye Clan!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal a muscular right arm adorned with a blue tattoo of a mythical beast that looked like a dragon's head intertwined with a tiger's head.
"Wow, that's a cool tattoo!" Xiang Xueer snapped her fingers. So being an Exorcist is such a cool profession! She pointed towards the cave and asked, "So what was in the cave just now? Was that a magical beast?"
"Yes! It was magic but not a magical beast because it was once human. We generally call it a Headless Demon; most of them are prisoners who have had their heads cut off and turned into demons. Because they lack heads, they go around killing people to take their heads and attach them to themselves; this is considered the lowest form of demon!"
"Qingtian" said, looking at the sky, "It's getting late. You should come with me to the village. Many people have already died in the nearby village because of this 'Headless Demon.' I need to find my client first, and then I'll take you home. Is that okay?"
Since there was nothing else to do and she wanted to understand the situation she was in, "Xiang Xueer" nodded. The two of them left the forest and arrived at a small village called "Stone Bridge Village," where they met "Qingtian's" client.
While "Qingtian" talked to the villagers, "Xiang Xueer" looked around. The streets, small stalls, little taverns, and low houses—there were no tall buildings or cars. Hmph, it really felt like ancient times!
She wondered what era this was. Warring States? Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing? Judging by their clothing, it seemed closer to the Warring States period. When "Qingtian" finished his business and came out, he saw "Xiang Xueer" looking around curiously. "I've taken care of everything. Now let's get you home!"
"Xiang Xueer" glanced sideways at the bulging pouch of money in his hand and smiled, "Oh, it seems like you made a good profit. How much can you earn from eliminating a 'Headless Demon'?"
"You’re so young yet so greedy!" "Qingtian" smirked as he walked over and led a horse to her. He helped her onto the horse's back and then sat in front of her. Although he had driven a car before, this was his first time riding a horse, so he found it quite fascinating. After just a few steps, she almost lost her balance and quickly reached out to tightly hug "Qingtian's" waist, pressing herself against his back.
