The Spirit World

Chapter 55 Owl

[The Void Box]

The thick purple nebula rolled, and all the nebulae collided and exploded in an instant, forming more, and so on. There was no sound here, only a strip of black shadow passed through the gap in the nebula. The light here had not arrived for a long time.

The black shadow transformed into a black goldfish, constantly shuttling back and forth in the Box of Void. The golden light was enough to illuminate everything here, all the chaos.

"Hmph!" It swung its tail, and the nebula behind it exploded and disappeared.

"If that little kid's body hadn't been so weak, those two yellow-haired girls would have been reduced to ashes long ago!" Its voice was angry and sonorous, as if it was speaking a graceful ancient language. The voice had no accent, and the crooked pronunciation was only understandable to it.

It has waited too long, but there is always nothing it can do.

"You shouldn't be so anxious!" The golden ball of light said calmly, which was a bit strange.

"Are you mocking me?" The black goldfish rushed to the golden ball and stared at it with its two huge eyes.

"How dare I? He hasn't learned anything over the years, so it's normal for him to be weak." The golden ball did not answer it, but just spoke calmly.

"You mean you want me to train him?" The black goldfish swam away and pointed its tail at the golden ball.

"There should be no other way," Jinqiu said slowly and casually.

"Huh, do you think I will be fooled?" The black goldfish swam to its side again, and the purple nebula was swept away, turning into purple smoke and dissipated.

"No matter how powerful I am, I can't compete with you. Why do you need to worry?" The golden ball rolled and came in front of the black goldfish. There was no golden man from last time in it, only a golden light source.

"..." The black goldfish swung the golden ball away with its tail, and it was swallowed by the darkness in an instant. The purple nebulae without light suddenly turned into endless darkness, with only a faint purple light shining through.

Wherever the golden ball flew, the light followed. The place was illuminated in an instant, the purple nebula rolled, and the entire Void Box was silent again.

【Bai Ling Mountain Manager's House】

"Apart from the paper they left behind, are there any other clues?" The prime minister was flipping through an extremely ordinary piece of paper, on which was written "Please ask Seniors Xiao Qingshan and Tan Mingqiu to quickly come to the Maple Leaf Forest in Bailing City to discuss matters." The whole wording was crooked, but still clearly readable. On the back was written the word "seal", but every stroke was crooked, and the crookedness became more fierce. One stroke even hooked directly to the bottom of the entire paper. The weird handwriting seemed as if the hand could not control itself.

The Prime Minister and the Grand Steward both knew very well that when they wrote this letter, their transformation into demons had already begun. They finally stood in the maple forest, fighting the final battle against the evil spirit.

封？
Could it be a seal?
Who to seal?

Them?
The Prime Minister handed the paper to the chief steward, who shook his fan and asked in confusion: "No, they seemed to know that they would be demonized, so they wrote this note in advance, but before they finished writing it, they threw it to the intelligence pigeon."

"The question now is, what should be sealed? Is it really as simple as just sealing them?" The butler put the paper into his sleeve, where there was a space pocket.

"They have been missing for ten years, and as soon as they appeared they asked us to seal them. Until we have more clues, we can only think this way. They don't want to hurt innocent people, so they asked us to seal them at the agreed location." The prime minister looked at the chief steward scratching his beard in confusion, and his fan was shaking slower and slower.

"Then why should it be written on the back?" The chief steward looked at the prime minister, his doubts never dissipated.

"This is also the biggest doubt." The Prime Minister put away his fan, shook his sleeves, and stood up: "I heard that the young master of the Ning family did something to win people's hearts today. A demonized Tianzi-level girl also entered the Tianbu?"

The chief steward stood up, looked at him, put his hands behind his back, and his hunched shadow looked like a stone pillar under the white magic lamp. He did not answer, but went straight to the table to pour tea leaves and prepare to make tea.

"He doesn't know the rules. Doesn't Ning Tang know the rules either?" The prime minister never treated himself as an outsider. The entire Bailing Mountain was his second home.

"If something happens, it will be difficult to explain. The girl is from the Xu family." Seeing that the chief steward didn't say anything, the prime minister walked over, took away a bowl of tea and blew on it.

"I don't think our young master is ten years old. At least, he should be around this age." The chief steward blew hot air and showed two fingers.

"Really?" Although the chief steward's answer was irrelevant, the prime minister still took the opportunity to talk about it.

"Maybe more than that. Although the seal of sleep was lifted only ten years ago, this kind of maturity takes far more than ten years. Otherwise, it's because his adoptive parents taught him too well. We should be thankful." The chief steward took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes comfortably, just like a little old man enjoying life.

"Has he ever asked you about his parents?"

"That's why I think he's mature. When the time comes for him to know, I will tell him naturally."

“…” The Prime Minister also took a sip of the tea and squinted his eyes for a moment, enjoying this high-quality tea.

[Top of Bailing Mountain]

She gently took off the mask, revealing her widow's peak, high nose bridge, cherry-like mouth, and big eyes. Her mother was from the Principality of Allan, and her father was the famous Xu family's patriarch, Xu Zhengyu. She stretched lazily. In fact, she was used to wearing this mask, but occasionally when no one was around, she still wanted to take it off to get some fresh air, as a mercy to herself.

The Ning family, young master, Chang Yufeng.

She kept repeating the name in her mind, and the image of the man in the long-sleeved dress with a black background and white plum blossoms lingered in her mind. The image of him holding her hand and smiling at her was also imprinted in her mind.

"Brother! Are you listening?"

She hurriedly put on the mask. Who would come to the top of the mountain at this time? The bonfire had been extinguished, the fireworks had dissipated, and most of the people and animals in Bailing Mountain had fallen asleep.

"I know! There's a hairpin with plum blossoms on it! I know!"

It's his voice!
How to do?How to do?
She thought anxiously, just go out and greet him like this? On the top of a mountain at midnight? With another person?

No, no, she jumped to the tree on the top of the mountain, where there was an owl with its eyes open. The owl turned its head 180 degrees and looked at her tiltedly, motionless, with its eyes glowing green.

She swallowed, the white mask actually looked even scarier in the green light of the owl's eyes.

"Brother! Don't even think about sleeping if you don't find me today!"

Was it the little girl's voice? She had seen her, and she had indeed called the young master of the Ning family brother.

"I know! But you dropped it yourself, how can you blame me?! It was obviously your carelessness!"

"Brother Yufeng, please stop irritating Sister Erica. You won't be able to sleep if she cries!"

Another girl's voice?

Who is she? Brother Yufeng?

Her mind suddenly became complicated. Two faces with crosses on them and Yufeng's face were connected by a black line. Brother? Brother Yufeng?

"Okay, okay, Erica, don't be angry, I will help you get it back right away!"

"Wow, wow, wow, that was the hairpin I spent the whole afternoon picking out! How would I live if I lost it? Wow, wow, wow..."

“……” She also felt that if a girl lost something she loved, it was more serious than losing her life.

"Found it. Here, it's right where you eat barbecue! You're so careless."

"Humph!"

"Let's go. We're going to start training tomorrow. If we stay up late, something bad will happen! Tomorrow is the first day!"

The other woman was quite thoughtful.

The owl slowly approached her on the branch. Although its glowing eyes were scary, the 180-degree rotation was even more terrifying.

Could it be that he mistook her for another owl?

Gradually, there was no sound on the top of the mountain. She hurriedly jumped down from the tree. The owl flapped its wings and swooped over as if it was catching food. She screamed and ran down the mountain.

"what sound?"

She suddenly covered her mouth and even forgot that she was wearing a mask.

"You're so sleepy that you're hallucinating! Go to sleep, Nieman's aunt!"

"Hmph! Bad brother!"

"Maybe it's a patrol team."

There was no sound again, and she breathed a sigh of relief. The owl on its back was already clutching her clothes tightly, and there was no way she could break free.

From then on, no more owls could be heard in Bailing Mountain...
