Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 330 The Mist Will Eventually Dissipate
"Why are you asking me for help in finding artifacts from the underworld?" Yang Nianqing didn't understand why she was being sought out for artifacts from the underworld. Logically speaking, people from the underworld have a special connection to artifacts from the underworld, and they would be much more efficient in finding them themselves than she would be.

She was looking for artifacts from the underworld, not someone's lost items. She could calculate the location of lost items belonging to the living, but she might not be able to predict things from the underworld. After all, even gods are not omnipotent.

"Here's the thing, oh, may I ask what this beautiful lady's name is?" After hesitating for a moment, Song Kaijie finally asked.

The Song family and the Xu family were old friends and had many business dealings. He had known the three Xu brothers since childhood, and they could be said to have grown up together. However, he did not expect that the Xu and Gu families were not ordinary people. They had hidden themselves for so many years. He was familiar with the Gu brothers and naturally knew the Gu family's daughter. The fact that this woman had a face almost identical to Xu Nuofei's undoubtedly put the truth into the open.

The Xu family's daughter has mistaken someone for someone else!

"My name is Yang Nianqing."

Upon hearing Yang Nianqing's words, everyone's faces showed some strangeness. This name was too embarrassing for them, like a needle or thorn pricking their hearts, making their hatred for the Yang family even deeper, and making them feel even more sorry for Yang Nianqing.

Wow, things seem to be more complicated than they appear. Politely without saying anything about it, Song Kaijie continued to explain why he would seek out Yang Nianqing in the future.

"Miss Yang is aware that there is a saying that after the demon race established its kingdom, it is forbidden to become a spirit. Similarly, it is not easy for cultivators to cultivate nowadays, so many people with corrupt morals have developed evil intentions. There was a case of an evil cultivator who devoured souls to cultivate and prolong his life. Miss Yang caught that evil cultivator, right?"

"That's Du Yan, the one who almost wiped out Xu Anyu and the others," Yang Nianqing nodded. Before he was taken back to the underworld, he was still shouting that his master would not let him go. Seventh Master and Eighth Master said that he was under a restriction and they could not find out who his master was.

"When Du Yan was brought to the underworld, his master was mentioned repeatedly, but he was placed under a restriction, so his master's identity could not be found. The underworld investigated carefully and found that many wandering souls who should have been reincarnated over the years had been removed from the Book of Life and Death. There are definitely many soul-devouring cultivators in the human world, and Du Yan's master is probably the biggest among them. The reason for asking Miss Yang for help is to find the Underworld's boundary-suppressing stone."

The underworld governs life and death, but never participates in worldly struggles. All things are subject to reincarnation, and all right and wrong, cause and effect, are recorded in the Book of Life and Death. The deceased will eventually cross the River of Oblivion to the Yellow Springs, but if their name is removed from the Book of Life and Death, it means that their soul has been scattered and they will not be reincarnated.

Yang Nianqing didn't know what the Boundary-Suppressing Stone was, nor did she know why the Underworld was looking for it, but it would be good if it could divert the Underworld's attention from Fan Ruichen.

"what should I do?"

"We've received information that a batch of ancient jade will be auctioned at a charity auction, and the Boundary-Suppressing Stone might be among them. The Spirit-Nourishing Stone has a special affinity for the Boundary-Suppressing Stone, so we would appreciate it if Miss Yang could come with us then."

"That's possible, but is that all?"

Song Kaijie paused for a moment, then nodded blankly. That was all the instructions given above; nothing else was said.

"Then you can just come to me directly. Why bother with this whole charade of astral projection?"

Song Kaijie: "..."

Song Kaijie's eyes darted around, too embarrassed to say anything. He had only wanted to show off, but now he'd been humiliated.

When their eyes met, the two tacitly looked away.

Yang Nianqing sized up the two of them and decided to let them go.

"Let me know when the time comes." The two nodded repeatedly, and Song Kaijie and Gu Xiyuan apologized again before quickly taking Chen Qian and running away.

The two practically flew all the way out of the Gu family's house, running a long way before stopping.

Song Kaijie looked back at the Gu family with tears in his eyes. This was terrible. Old Master Gu would definitely complain to his grandfather. He had to go back and think of a solution to persuade his grandfather to accept it. Another chaotic scene was about to unfold.

"Ugh."

Song Kaijie, who was wallowing in self-pity, naturally did not notice Chen Qian's complicated gaze.

He seemed to be inferior to Song Kaijie in every way. He had to work so hard and squeeze through so many people to become a ghost messenger. He had to work diligently to obtain resources for cultivation and to earn money to live a not-so-wealthy life in the mortal world. Even as a ghost messenger, he was just another level of corporate slave. On the other hand, Song Kaijie simply relied on his family inheritance and did not even need to participate in the selection process to live the life that these people at the bottom of society could only dream of. In the mortal world, he was the heir of a large corporation.

Today, upon arriving at this luxurious villa, not wanting to appear timid, he rushed ahead in everything, only to run into a tough opponent and nearly lose everything, requiring Song Kaijie to save him.

"Song Kaijie, thank you."

Song Kaijie looked at him in surprise, seemingly unable to believe it. If they weren't both currently in spirit form, he would have suspected that Chen Qian was possessed by some ghost. It was quite something that the proud Chen Qian had actually apologized. He must have been frightened. To be honest, he was frightened too. After saying that there was no need to be polite, Song Kaijie suggested that they go back to report first. He needed to go back to his mother and discuss with her how to deal with his grandfather's anger.

In the underworld, Black Impermanence paced back and forth before the barrier that glowed with a faint white light. After a while, he scratched his head in frustration, then turned and walked towards the forbidden area. Passing through a misty forest, he came into view a majestic palace. The palace was grand and imposing, yet it was devoid of any light. The palace was decorated with red silk, as if there were some joyous occasion, but there was no life in the palace. It was like a dead city, with an indescribable eeriness.

"I knew you were here."

When Bai Wuchang turned around, he saw a burly, dark-skinned fat man rushing angrily toward him.

"Old Bai, when are we going to be locked up in the Underworld? It's so boring! I just don't understand why we, the mighty Underworld, have anything to fear! We even had to ask that little girl from the Gu family to help us find people and things. I don't want to talk about it, but it's just too embarrassing."

Bai Wuchang patted his shoulder and smiled, "I don't blame you for being brainless; you didn't want to be like this."

Black Impermanence: "…………" Don't think I can't tell you're cursing me.

Bai Wuchang withdrew his hand and turned to look at the palace with its gates tightly closed. "Let's wait a little longer. Let's wait until we find the boundary-suppressing stone before opening the barrier. I hope everything goes smoothly. I hope..."

Black Impermanence curled his lip, "I don't like smart people like you. You and Old Yan are so mysterious all the time, it's really boring."

Bai Wuchang ignored him and continued to look at the palace. After a long while, he sighed. Perhaps one day, this place will be brightly lit and its owner will be welcomed back. The fog will eventually dissipate. He hoped that person would get what he wanted. This world cannot be without him.

The moon hung silently high in the sky, while on the distant snow-capped mountains, the cold wind howled and the moonlight could not penetrate the thick clouds. In an inconspicuous little cave on the snow-capped mountain, a round stone suddenly shook, and an irregular crack appeared on its surface. A faint green light shone out from inside, as if it were breathing, and the green light flickered leisurely.
