With his current strength, he can naturally rescue Bai Shimen and reunite him and his daughter.

However, if they did that, in order to protect Bai Shui'er, even if Bai Shimen knew that he was a spirit host, they would most likely not step into the dangerous Zhenhun Street to become the gate commander of Bodhi Street.

The plot will get messed up from here on out. Who will Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling encounter on Bodhi Street?

Who will Xia Ling go to Fenglei Street with?

Without the protection of the White Master Sect's guardian spirit stone, Lingming, Hei Yinglong will be even more difficult to deal with...

Everything is uncertain. Before he has absolute strength, Li Moxuan doesn't like variables. For now, knowing the plot is his biggest advantage.

He didn't want to squander his advantage like this!

Therefore, Li Moxuan chose to keep it from Bai Shui'er, figuring there would be other opportunities to meet in the future, and that the Bai sect would cherish her even more after losing Shui'er...

"How could Dad be dead..."

Bai Shui'er slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant, her cheeks streaked with tears. She could hardly accept the fact that her beloved father, whom Zhang Fusheng had described as the one who loved her most, had already sacrificed himself.

Li Moxuan sighed softly, picked up Shui'er's small body from the ground, and slowly turned to leave.

Watching the two figures leave, Zhang Fusheng sneered inwardly. Bai Shimen was not dead, but his boss would personally kill him on the Ghost Festival the day after tomorrow!

As darkness fell, when Bai Shui'er woke up again, she was already back in her room.

Although her father's death saddened her, she also knew she couldn't keep causing trouble for her older brother like this.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, climbed out of bed, walked out of the room, looked around, and saw only the broken pieces of the front door on the floor...

The main gate has been replaced with a new one, exactly the same as the old one...

Where's the older brother?

Bai Shui'er suddenly felt a little panicked. Her mother was always abroad on business and hadn't come back, her father had sacrificed his life, and now, had the only older brother who was good to her also left?

"Big brother..."

Bai Shui'er tried calling out in a slightly trembling voice, but there was no response...

She collapsed to the ground, and just as Bai Shui'er was filled with despair, footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Moxuan, carrying takeout and wearing a new set of clothes, pushed open the door.

Noticing Bai Shui'er sitting on the ground, staring blankly at him, Li Moxuan raised an eyebrow. "Shui'er, why are you sitting on the ground? Isn't there a chair right next to you?"

Has this girl cried herself silly?

"Great! Big brother, you didn't leave!"

Seeing Bai Shui'er suddenly rush towards him, Li Moxuan's expression changed. "Wait a minute, Shui'er, I have some chicken soup in my hand!"

…………

"Big brother, I'm sorry..."

At the dinner table, Bai Shui'er spoke with a sense of self-reproach, while Li Moxuan seemed unconcerned about what had just happened.

"I'm glad you didn't get burned!"

Although his newly bought clothes were dirty, he was now Young Master Li and had plenty of money; he could just buy another one later.

Li Moxuan brought out the takeout. "Let's eat dinner first!"

"Ok!"

During the meal, Li Moxuan tentatively spoke up: "Shui'er, I'm leaving tomorrow..."

Are you leaving?

Bai Shui'er paused in her chopsticks, her voice turning dejected, "Big brother, where are you going?"

"Hmm...to a very far place..."

After Li Moxuan finished speaking, he secretly observed Bai Shui'er's expression. He saw her hesitate for a moment, then suddenly ask, "Big brother, can you take Shui'er with you?"

“Mom has been abroad and doesn’t want to come back. Now Dad has also sacrificed his life. If you leave too, Shui’er will have no family left…”

Li Moxuan had been waiting for Bai Shui'er to say those words, but he still had to keep up the act, so he pretended to ponder for a moment.

"Shui'er, the place I'm going to is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to come with me?"

Bai Shui'er nodded hurriedly, "Shui'er isn't afraid of danger, as long as big brother doesn't abandon Shui'er..."

"Alright, let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

…………

"Your Highness, this little girl possesses spiritual power, and it's quite powerful..."

"I know……"

Li Moxuan stayed in Bai Shimen's room. Since Bai Shimen was often away on missions, the room was as if no one had ever lived there.

Li Moxuan had already discovered that Bai Shuier possessed spiritual power when he broke down the door to rescue her.

This explains why Bai Shui'er was able to survive for four days without food or water...

Moreover, the speed at which the body recovers is incomparable to that of ordinary people!

"Pharmacist, judging from the intensity of the spiritual energy she exudes, she has already reached the level of the Hell Path's Calling, but why is it that even when she is on the verge of death, her guardian spirit is unwilling to come out to save her?"

This is what Li Moxuan finds most puzzling. The contract between a guardian spirit and its host is sacred and pure, and most guardian spirits will risk their lives to protect their host.

Just like Xia Ling's guardian spirit, Li Xuanyuan, even though he was trapped by the Heart-Locking Chain, he still appeared to protect her when Xia Ling almost hit the jackpot.

Of course, there are also a small number of guardian spirits that will abandon protecting their host.

For example, Wu Song despised Wu Renlong's despicable behavior, so he didn't stop Jila from assassinating Wu Renlong...

"Your Highness, she doesn't seem to have a guardian spirit within her..."

"Pharmacist, are you sure?"

“Your Highness, when you channeled your spiritual energy into her to heal her injuries, I sensed the spiritual energy within her body and did not detect any similar energy!”

"Of course, it's also possible that the guardian spirit within her is not a human martial spirit, but a beast martial spirit, a demon martial spirit, an immortal martial spirit, or even a legendary divine martial spirit!"

So, Bai Shui'er might also be a spirit possessor, but she almost starved to death in her room...

Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and Bai Shui'er quietly peeked in.

"Shui'er, what brings you here?"

Bai Shui'er walked into the room, still clutching a pillow in her arms. Her face was slightly flushed, and she said shyly, "Big brother, I'm afraid of the dark..."

"Then why don't you sleep with the lights on?"

"..."

Bai Shui'er gritted her teeth, kicked off her slippers, and pounced barefoot onto the bed, looking pitifully at Li Moxuan.

"Big brother, I can't sleep alone. Dad always used to hold me to sleep..."

"is it?"

Li Moxuan was full of doubt. How come he remembered that when Bai Shimen was at home, he would tell stories to lull Shui'er to sleep and then leave?

Moreover, Bai Shimen often doesn't go home because he has to carry out missions!

Faced with Li Moxuan's questioning gaze, Bai Shui'er felt a little guilty. She was actually afraid that what Li Moxuan had said at the dinner table was all a lie.

She was afraid he would abandon her and run away while she was asleep...

Chapter 9: The Uninvited Guest on Nandou Street

"All right!"

Li Moxuan was too lazy to guess what this girl was thinking. If they were going to sleep together, then they would sleep together!

Anyway, I'm not interested in little kids...

"Thank you, big brother!"

Seeing that Li Moxuan agreed, Bai Shui'er's face lit up with joy. She quickly placed her pillow next to Li Moxuan, crawled into the quilt, and then reached out to hug Li Moxuan's waist.

Li Moxuan: "..."

"Shui'er, let go first, I haven't turned off the light yet!"

"Oh……"

…………

The next morning.

The two got up early, had a quick breakfast, and then Bai Shui'er turned around to take one last look at the house that had been with her for many years.

"Big brother, let's go!"

Bai Shui'er took Li Moxuan's hand and followed him to Weiwu Street, which was not far from here.

Shortly after the two left, Bai Shui'er's room suddenly caught fire. Although the firefighters extinguished the flames in time, the entire house was burned beyond recognition.

The nearby surveillance cameras were also hacked, and any footage of Li Moxuan and Bai Shui'er captured in the surveillance videos over the past two days has been deleted...

All of this was naturally the work of a professional team hired by Li Moxuan with his money. After Bai Shimen escaped, he would definitely go home. How could he not "destroy the evidence"?

The hospital's surveillance system was also "accidentally damaged." At the same time, Director Zhou, who was treating Bai Shui'er, was suddenly promoted and transferred from the branch hospital to the general hospital in a province across from here.

The day after Li Moxuan left with Bai Shui'er, on the night of the Ghost Festival, Bai Shimen, who had been starving for seven days and seven nights, was brought to the roadside by his guardian spirit stone, Lingming.

"Shui'er... hurry and save Shui'er..."

Even though he was on his deathbed, Bai Shimen was still thinking about his daughter whom he had locked in the room. His eyes were bloodshot and he kept muttering to himself.

Shi Lingming put him down by the roadside and shook his head. "Our sect is on the verge of death. How could Shui'er possibly survive?"

"Her life force has long since vanished from the human realm..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shimen's eyes instantly reddened, but his tears had already dried up, leaving only endless regret and self-blame in his heart.

"Master, come with me to the Underworld! Perhaps you can see her there, but there are some things you need to say to her in person..."

After Shi Lingming finished speaking, he sensed a human approaching, so he deliberately dissipated his form and returned to Bai Shimen's body.
