“I have been wearing it.” He Yuliang said as he pulled out a lucky pouch from underneath his collar.
He attached the lucky pouch to a string and had been wearing it as a necklace.
He Yuliang opened the lucky pouch and took out the amulet inside.
He then realized that only half of the amulet was left.
The other half was missing.
“Something is really following you. The amulet has already protected you a couple of times, which is why you were fine during the holiday and when you were on the way back here,” Xie Jiling said, “However, only half of the amulet is left, so it has become much weaker, which is why it couldn’t protect you anymore.”
“I… I can hear her again!” He Yuliang actually started sobbing.
Xie Jiling patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s alright. I see her too.”
Xie Jiling wasn’t anxious at all. She unhurriedly took out an amulet from her bag and gave it to him. “Keep it safe.”
He Yuliang felt as though he was grasping at a straw. He held the amulet Xie Jiling gave him tightly.
When the other people heard Xie Jiling say “I see her,” they all started screaming.
They all moved and hid behind Xie Jiling.
“Why aren’t you staying in the forest? Why did you follow him here?” Xie Jiling said to the empty space behind He Yuliang’s back
He Yuliang was so scared that he hid behind Xie Jiling.
However, he didn’t see anything.
“I’m going to take him back,” the little girl said.
“He is not part of your world. You can’t take him away, not on my watch,” Xie Jiling said.
“You do not have a vengeful aura. You didn’t kill anyone. You are not a vengeful spirit. Why would you pester him? If you really tried to take him away, you would be taking someone’s life.” Xie Jiling said, “If so, you won’t be able to reincarnate.”
“I don’t want to reincarnate. I want to have fun,” the little girl said.
Xie Jiling said, “They can’t see you. I look like a fool talking to the air. Show yourself so it’s not that awkward for me.”
The little girl was very cooperative.
When Xie Jiling said that, she showed herself.
She was not terrifying like how the others had imagined.
The little girl was wearing a floral dress. She tied her hair into a ponytail and looked really cute.
“Did you fall to your death when you were playing in the woods and couldn’t find your way home?” Xie Jiling said.
The girl moved uncomfortably as she answered, “I killed myself because I was too playful. My parents were very sad.”
“Is that why you didn’t reincarnate?” Xie Jiling said.
“This way, I can visit my parents from time to time,” the little girl said, “After I died, they would constantly argue because of me. My dad blamed my mom for not taking good care of me. My mom would say that my dad had always been too busy and never helped her, which was why she couldn’t handle the amount of work she had to do. And now, their life is a complete mess, so I can’t leave them without feeling worried.”
“Then do you know that if you take my classmate away, he’ll die? His parents will be sad like your parents.” Xie Jiling said.
“I’m bored. I wanted someone to have fun with me. I didn’t want to hurt anyone. It has been too long. No one could play with me and talk to me,” the little girl responded.
“You can find your parents.” When Ren Linna saw that the little girl was quite easy to talk to and didn’t seem to have any intention of hurting anyone, she started acting braver.
“My eeriness will affect them. I can’t keep being around them.” The little girl said.
Xie Jiling sneered and said, “I think you are very aware. Since you know that your eeriness will affect humans. Why did you still approach my classmate?”
The little girl froze. She didn’t expect Xie Jiling to say that.
“Are you still faking it? Do you think an ordinary ghost could travel thousands of miles with my classmate for such a long time without receiving any damage?” Xie Jiling suddenly asked.
At the same time, she motioned an Elder Mantra with her hands.
When she struck the ghost with the Zhe Character Mantra, she followed up with the motion of a Jie Character Mantra.
“Exorcist!” The little girl, who seemed harmless and cute, suddenly started growing tall. Her body started distorting and changing.
Her ponytail loosened. Her hair started growing longer and longer as she flew towards Xie Jiling.
At the same time, Xie Jiling’s Jie Mantra struck her.
The vengeful spirit froze. Hatred could be seen on her face.
“How did you notice?!” The vengeful ghost asked grudgingly.
Her face was so deathly pale that the students behind Xie Jiling hugged each other out of fear.
“You almost fooled me. You actually hid your vengeful aura. Who taught you this?” Xie Jiling asked coldly.
Vengeful spirits were incapable of doing this unless someone taught them.
Exorcists rely on detecting this vengeful aura to track vengeful ghosts.
If all the vengeful spirits could do this, it would be very troublesome for an exorcist to track them.
“I admit that you are very powerful, but can you protect so many people? I usually only kill men, but these girls are unlucky to be here today!” The vengeful spirit said.
Everyone behind Xie Jiling held on to the amulet that Xie Jiling gave them.
They initially thought that Xie Jiling was only knowledgeable in this field and could only resolve some of these issues.
They didn’t expect Xie Jiling to be so capable!
This.. this was their first time encountering something like this.
Xie Jiling quickly motioned a Lie Character Mantra and protected the classmates behind her.
At the same time, she dashed toward the vengeful spirit.
She struck a talisman on the vengeful spirit.
“Ah!” The area of the vengeful spirit’s body that the talisman was sticking onto started burning. It was sizzling and burning with smoke.
A large black hole burnt through its body and the black hole was still expanding.
“What is this?!” The vengeful spirit shouted.
She had killed many people, but she had never encountered such a powerful talisman.
At this moment, Xie Jiling motioned a Xing Character Mantra and struck the vengeful ghost.
A beam of light shot through the vengeful spirit’s head.
Like what happened to Lu Qi, the vengeful spirit’s body became half transparent.
After a while, the glow inside the vengeful ghost’s body vanished.
The vengeful spirit’s body became smaller, but not as small as a little girl’s.
She looked like a fifteen-to-sixteen-year-old girl.
“I…” The vengeful spirit lowered her head and looked at herself. “My vengeful aura…”
“It has been cleansed.” Xie Jiling said.
The vengeful spirit must have thought of something as she suddenly started tearing up.
“I… I…”
At this moment, two soul reapers came out from a black hole at the side.
When they saw Xie Jiling, the two soul reapers were stunned for a moment and immediately greeted, “Lady Xie.”
These were not the two soul reapers from before.
The two soul reapers from before had taken Lu Qi back to the underworld and were doing the paperwork for her. Obviously, they couldn’t come here.
However, these two soul reapers know Xie Jiling well.
When the two soul reapers saw Xie Jiling, one of them started laughing dryly. His face twitched as he said, “Lady Xie, you are so busy tonight.”
Xie Jiling had just seized one ghost and there was already another one.
