Chapter 524 Chicken talking to duck
Yunxi raised the umbrella and looked at the group of people who were clearly blocking her way, waiting for them to speak.

The man in the suit glanced at Yun Xi, whose face was ordinary, and politely said:

"Madam, were you the one who caused the commotion at Master Yu's residence earlier?"

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Yunxi is lying through her teeth.

The man had clearly never encountered such a shameless person before. He waved his hand behind him, and a woman in a black suit handed him a round metal button.

The man in the suit pressed a button, and a 3D image appeared in front of Yunxi. It was a video of her fighting with Master Yu. She admitted that she had been careless and had forgotten that there was surveillance.

However, she refused to admit it. She gently turned the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, and the black umbrella transformed into white. The "Jade Face" also dropped her disguise, revealing her original face. Her white dress turned red, and then she spoke again:

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m completely different from that person.”

The man in the suit twitched at the corner of his mouth, and the woman in the suit twitched her eyelids. They felt that the difficulty of their mission had increased this time. The other party was obviously unwilling to cooperate, and they had not yet figured out the other party's strength, so it was not advisable to act rashly.

However, the man in the suit still forced himself to say:
"Madam, you cannot capture a soul on your own. Please release the ghost you have captured."

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked in return:
"I can't capture souls on my own, but that guy surnamed Yu can? What gives him the right? And what qualifications does he have to refine ghosts into soul puppets?"

The two exchanged a glance, and this time the woman in the suit spoke:

"Madam, Mr. Yu is an officially recognized 'Soul Collector,' so he can collect souls. As for your claim that he privately crafted soul puppets, we will investigate further and will not allow him to break the rules of this profession."

Yunxi was utterly astonished by the answer. A hint of doubt flashed in her almond-shaped eyes. She raised her umbrella, looked at the two people opposite her, and said coldly:
"What qualifications do you have to appoint 'Soul Collectors'?"

Both of them noticed Yunxi's displeasure and subconsciously took a step back. The people in the eight cars behind them got out and stared intently at Yunxi, clearly waiting for orders.

The woman in the suit frowned as well. They didn't want to get into a conflict with the strange woman in front of them, so they took out an ID card from their inner pocket and showed it to Yun Xi, saying:
"We are a special department under the Blue Star Security Department, specializing in handling all kinds of supernatural phenomena. Your confrontation with Mr. Yu just now has disrupted the nearby magnetic field."

After the surveillance equipment alerted us, we arrived immediately. Please don't question our professionalism or identity; we have no intention of causing you any trouble. However, we simply couldn't find any identification information about you. Where did you come from?

Yunxi glanced at the documents and didn't doubt their origins, but her suspicions deepened. She put away the Nether Dragon Umbrella and said:

"To prove what you're saying is true, I'm willing to go with you."

They then got into the lead SUV first.

The man and woman in suits both stared wide-eyed, having never seen anyone act so unpredictably before. They exchanged glances and got into the car one after the other.

Seeing that the task target had obediently boarded the vehicle, the others also boarded the vehicle, and the lead vehicle immediately turned around and returned along the original route.

Just then, Yunxi's phone rang.

Yunxi knew without looking that it was Xia Mengmeng calling, because only she had her own new number.

The woman in the suit sitting next to Yunxi looked at her in surprise again. She hadn't expected that Yunxi would have a communication device. Why hadn't they found it before? While she was hesitating whether to intercept the signal, Yunxi had already answered the call.

“Master Ranxi, I have finished taking care of things here. I apologize for leaving you alone with Master Yu. I will arrange for Lanlan to pick you up now.”

Xia Mengmeng felt very embarrassed. After learning the truth with Ranxi's help, she was so angry that she left without a second thought.

"No need, I got a ride with someone else, and I've already dealt with Master Yu. Don't associate with such lowlifes anymore." The woman in the suit who had been listening intently felt that this woman was implying something about them.

Xia Mengmeng on the other end of the phone immediately replied:
"Okay, I've got it. How should I pay the master?"

"I'm not in a hurry to use it right now. Please save it for me and I'll contact you when I need it."

Yunxi is an unregistered resident, meaning she has no identity in this world and has difficulty even spending money. Therefore, she chose to have Xia Mengmeng save money for her, since she wasn't worried about Xia Mengmeng defaulting on the debt.

“Okay, no problem. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything, Master Ranxi.”

The two then ended the call.

After the call ended, the car became even quieter. Yunxi rubbed the storage bracelet on her wrist, frowning as she analyzed what the two had just said. There was a lot of information in it, and she felt like every piece of information was bouncing on her sensitive nerves.

Half an hour later, nine cars drove into the underground parking lot of a skyscraper. Accompanied by a man and a woman in suits, Yunxi boarded a private elevator and went straight to the top floor of the skyscraper.

The moment the elevator doors opened, a pair of twin boys were waiting at the door. Their two identical faces turned their curious gazes toward Yunxi. They were not only shocked by Yunxi's beauty, but also forced to take two steps back by the aura surrounding her.

Yunxi swept her divine sense over the two of them, and with some displeasure, she waved her hand and pushed them away from a distance. The twin brothers staggered back several steps before regaining their balance and looked at Yunxi in surprise.

"Madam, why did you attack a junior for no reason?"

A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked calmly.

Yunxi glanced at the man and replied coldly:
"They cultivate using their divine souls. Although their soul power increases greatly and they can suppress and control more divine souls, there will always be a day when it gets out of control. This cultivation method is an evil technique. Who taught you this?"

Yunxi's words also surprised the middle-aged man and the twin brothers, who felt that their understanding was not on the same level.

Yunxi didn't have time to delve into these matters; she was here to find answers, so she asked directly:
"Who gave you the qualifications to appoint 'Soul Collectors'? What standards does your special department use to judge the qualifications of 'Soul Collectors'? Where do those qualified to collect souls send the ghosts they collect? And how do you deal with the souls you collect?"

Yunxi's four questions silenced the man and woman in suits who were reporting in hushed tones, and they then looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man invited Yunxi to sit down before speaking:

"Before answering these questions, shouldn't you tell us your identity first?"

After Yunxi sat down, she replied:

"My name is Ranxi. I only recently entered the mortal world for training. I never expected that the first thing I encountered was someone being possessed by a ghost. It was done by the 'soul-binding envoy' you mentioned who is qualified. Do you know that the person surnamed Yu is making soul puppets?"

"A soul puppet? Are you sure?"

One of the twins immediately pressed for an answer.

"Of course, don't you have surveillance cameras? Didn't they record it?"

The man in the suit was now embarrassed. He whispered in the middle-aged man's ear:

"Master Yu only uploaded surveillance footage that was favorable to him as evidence in his police report."
