"Don't worry about other people's affairs. If you start questioning them closely, who knows what they'll say? Each of these twenty-six people has their own secrets. If we pull all those secrets out, they probably won't be able to live their lives afterward. Hopefully, after this incident, they can reflect on their actions."
After I tore off the talisman stuck to their foreheads, the remaining twelve spirits rushed out, kneeling on the ground in unison. They cried out apologies, saying they had no idea what had just happened.
Rice flew up like a little angel and said, "Stop crying! You're making too much noise. In a moment, you'll have ten minutes to meet your parents. Make sure to cherish it and don't waste time talking nonsense." As Rice spoke, he sprinkled Yin-Yang Connection Powder over everyone’s heads, but we already knew the answers.
I felt a bit restless. "Auntie, something must have happened to Siyuan. I need to go."
As I approached the back mountain, Qiao Ziyuan caught up with me. "Your friend is quite determined. I called my son; he’ll be coming over soon. If my son doesn’t oppose marrying Siyuan, I won’t either."
I didn’t expect Qiao Ziyuan to agree so quickly, but there was no time to ask too many questions now. It wasn’t hard to guess; it was likely that the spirit Siyuan caught was particularly powerful and unexpected for her.
Just before I stepped into the back mountain area, Qiao Ziyuan suddenly grabbed my hand. "Youmai Vegetable, don’t go in yet. Wait outside; I’ll help you rescue Siyuan. Don’t worry."
"No, Auntie. I won’t feel at ease unless I see her safe with my own eyes."
"If you go in, it will be even more dangerous for you. Your constitution naturally attracts spirits, and those spirits covet the spiritual energy within you. Going in could endanger Siyuan instead. Be a good child and wait for me here, okay?"
"Alright."
Rice and I found a pavilion beside the back mountain to sit down and anxiously waited for Qiao Ziyuan.
Time passed slowly, and my heart grew increasingly restless. Nearly half an hour went by, but she still hadn’t come out.
"Rice, are we really just going to wait here like this?"
No one answered me.
I was startled and turned around, only to find that Rice was gone. "Rice!"
In just a moment, where had he gone? I quickly got up and looked around, but still couldn't see him.
At that moment, a familiar figure walked toward me, waving from a distance. "Wheat! What are you doing here at school?"
As soon as I recognized her, I turned to leave.
But she quickly ran in front of me. "Wheat, I was wrong last night. I was just joking! It's great that you came to school; I've been so bored alone since everyone else went home."
I stopped in my tracks, glaring at her. "Zhang Mengdi, was that really just a joke? Do you have any idea how dangerous that joke could have been? And where is Lin Xiuyu? Wasn't he in the hospital?"
"Wheat, you have so many questions."
"Answer them one by one," I said angrily, sitting down on a stone bench and waiting for her response.
Zhang Mengdi sat down across from me and pulled out a piece of gum from her pocket, offering it to me. "Wheat, don't be mad. The reason I did all this is because..."
"Because what? Can you just say it all at once?"
She was stammering when she should have been able to get it out easily.
Then I noticed something was off about her expression; her gaze seemed to be directed at me but also above me.
Is there something above me?
Curiously, I turned around and saw a man in a black suit standing behind me. I was so startled that I nearly knocked over the stone table.
"Lin Xiuyu, how come you recovered so quickly after a hundred days of injury?"
"After all, I am your lifesaver. It seems like you wish I would stay in bed forever."
At that moment, Zhang Mengdi stood up and said softly, "Hello, Teacher Lin."
Oh, the sun must be rising in the west; she didn't call him Egg Brother anymore and seemed to be quite afraid of him.
"I have something to discuss with Youmai Vegetable. You can leave now," Lin Xiuyu said without giving Zhang Mengdi any face, directly dismissing her.
I quickly grabbed Zhang Mengdi's arm. "No need to go. We're good friends; you can say whatever you want in front of her."
Lin Xiuyu glanced at Zhang Mengdi, who immediately broke free from my grip. "Wheat, I still have things to do. I'm leaving now; you two can chat slowly." Without caring how I called her, she ran off without looking back.
Previously, she would stick to Lin Xiuyu like glue; why was she so scared now as if she had seen a devil?
