The voice of the starving ghoul became softer and softer.
Seeing Xie Qiao’s sinister smile, Xie Pinggang was afraid that she would forget herself, so he hurriedly said, “Have you asked enough questions? Then you don’t have to worry about anything else. Tomorrow, we will send someone to get Master Mo. When the time comes, you will explain the situation to her. Let Master Mo handle the rest.”
Xie Qiao chuckled. “Didn’t you always find me useless…”
She was useful now, so why did he not let her handle it?
“How old are you? This kind of matter should be handled by Master Mo, so don’t worry about it!” Xie Pinggang said again.
He said such shameless words.
He wanted her to capture ghouls herself, but he kept insisting that she could not do it. Why did the heavens not send a huge bolt of lightning to strike Xie Pinggang to death? Hmph.
Xie Qiao did not say much. She carefully took out a talisman and a small bottle to collect the starving ghoul.
When the other ghouls saw that, they did not dare to come any closer. They could only do their best to stir up trouble in the surroundings.
They had seen all the strange things that had happened that night.
Forget about the ferocious beasts. By the second half of the night, a bunch of white flowers had drifted over from an unknown part of the mountain. The flowers danced in the air and were accompanied by Ghouls’ Flames. It looked even more terrifying. Everyone was certain that something was wrong with this land.
When the sun rose, the wind stopped.
The sun slowly appeared and shone on the land. The ghouls that were afraid of the light hid themselves. The remaining ones lost their majesty.
Xie Qiao slept for more than two hours in the second half of the night. She was still not in good spirits, but she was much better than Feng Yingying who could not sleep at all.
“Qiao’er, do you know where Master Mo Is?” Zhao Xuanjing asked with underlying meaning.
“Yes, at the Fortune Pavilion,” Xie Qiao said casually.
“Nonsense,” Xie Pinggang retorted. “I knocked on the door last night, she was not there at all. Master Mo has disappeared without a trace. I’m afraid I can’t find her today…”
Xie Qiao did not expect Xie Pinggang to look for her. She thought for a moment and said, “Eldest Brother knocked on the door in the middle of the night. Those who don’t know might think that you wanted to rob them. The shopkeeper was terrified, so of course he didn’t dare to tell the truth. Later, when I go back with Master Yu and Lady Ying, I’ll get Master Mo to come over. The ghouls here are evil. It’s better to deal with them early so that they won’t harm others in the future.”
There must be a few more people guarding the wilderness. Otherwise, what if the descendant sneaked in and took the “Grand Immortal” away?
The others could not see the ghouls either. Those ghouls could come and go as they pleased. If they delayed it for a day, there might be a few more deaths out there.
She wanted to find the culprit right away, but she had to go back to the Fortune Pavilion first.
She needed her tools.
She did not know how powerful the ghouls’ leader was. In order to avoid any accidents… she naturally had to prepare the best tools.
Xie Pinggang did not believe her.
The shopkeeper did not look like he was lying at that time…
However, before he said anything, the Crown Prince said, “Okay, but remember to let the master have a good rest on the way. If she can keep up with her energy, there won’t be any accidents when she captures the ghouls.”
It would take several hours to go back and forth.
She could catch up on sleep on the way in the carriage.
“Well, then I’ll leave now. It’s not bright yet. I’ll try to get Master to come earlier.” Xie Qiao smiled at Zhao Xuanjing. He looked dignified, generous, and gentle, but there was a cunning gleam in his eyes.
Her identity could be hidden forever..
