Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

However, before Jiang Liu could catch her breath, the three evil spirits that had been pushed away got up again, and the wounds on their chests and faces instantly healed, as if nothing had happened.

Where do we come from, and where do we go?

There is no other way to kill the evil spirit except through this method.

"Tsk." Jiang Liu frowned slightly and gripped the knife in the back of her hand.

Suddenly, the three malevolent spirits sprang up, their angry eyes glaring, and launched an attack from afar.

This time, because there was no need to turn, the attack was launched extremely quickly. Even Jiang Liu was hit. Although she made a blocking stance, she was still sent flying several meters, leaving two scratch marks on the ground with the soles of her shoes.

In that instant, the three malevolent spirits suddenly leaped up, their movements impossible to capture with the naked eye. In a flash, they climbed from the outside of the wall to the fourth floor, re-entered Wenjie's body, and disappeared from the hospital.

"They escaped?" Chen Shi calmed himself and used his intuition to see the three malevolent spirits disappear into the hospital.

"Looks like I don't want to put in any more effort." The crow spoke in a human voice, flapped its wings, and flew into the air again.

Ahead, Jiang Liu let out a heavy sigh of relief, blood still flowing from her right hand.

"Luckily, I escaped."

She skillfully took a small roll of bandage from her pocket and wrapped it around the wound on her palm.

"Senior Sister Jiang, you're so amazing!" Chen Shi exclaimed.

"What do you mean 'originally'? You think I was just bluffing you about being a top-notch ferryman?"

Jiang Liu smiled faintly, sheathed her short sword, locked the zither case, and slung the bag over her shoulder.

"If it doesn't leave soon, the outcome is uncertain. Top-tier evil spirits come and go without a trace. Without creating a spirit cage, there's no way to analyze the cause of its death. Continuing to exhaust it will only be a loss for me."

Nearby, Chen Shi and Su Yining, having narrowly escaped death, finally felt relieved, but a wave of exhaustion washed over them.

"But speaking of which..."

She glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, then reached out and pinched Chen Shi's cheek:

"You actually survived! That was a top-tier malevolent spirit... You little rascal..."

Jiang Liu felt both self-reproach and pride.

In just a few days, she was completely impressed with her apprentice.

To be honest, although she was reluctant, she had already prepared to collect the body given the current situation. She never expected that Chen Shi would actually survive.

And they survived together with Su Yining and Zhang Chengkang!

This is something that not just anyone can do.

Beside him, the crow stared at Chen Shi in astonishment, flapping its wings incessantly.

"A newcomer who just entered the industry actually managed to survive the attack of a top-level evil spirit and even saved a ferryman... No wonder Jiang Liu values ​​you so much."

It stopped on the roof of the sports car, looking Chen Shi up and down, as if trying to remember the young man's appearance.

“Hey, if you dare scratch my car paint, you’re finished.” Jiang Liu glanced at him sideways.

"I won't disturb your reunion as master and disciple."

The crow said:

“The appearance of three malevolent spirits is something I need to report to Lingyi Temple.”

Lingyi Temple?

Chen Shidun, I think I've heard Zhang Chengkang mention this name before.

In her memory of that corridor, her mother also mentioned a temple. Could there be a connection?

He was about to speak when Jiang Liu's eyes flickered, and she spoke first:

"Alright, go on now, and don't forget what you promised me."

"nature."

The crow flapped its wings and flew into the air, glancing at Chen Shi before leaving, its voice softening slightly:

"Keep it up, young man."

Having said that, it flew away into the distance.

"Alright, now there's no one else around. I know you all have a lot to say, so..."

Jiang Liu tossed the violin case into the trunk, patted the roof, and raised her chin:

"Handsome guy, beautiful girl, get in the car."

Chapter 46 Report

As dusk fell, the scorching sun finally began to set.

The sports car, like a black lightning bolt, sped across the overpass as dusk fell.

"To be honest, junior brother, you really do surprise me every time."

In the driver's seat, Jiang Liu held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the car window. The window was rolled down a crack, and the wind blew in, making her black ponytail sway.

"It's alright, I just managed to escape. Thanks to Senior Sister Jiang who arrived in time," Chen Shi said modestly.

Through this experience, he gained a profound understanding of the gap between himself and his goals.

To fight against the three evil spirits and reach Jiang Liu's strength, he still needs to continue to cultivate his spirituality and improve his inspiration.

Moreover, there's also the Flower Festival...

"That being said, very few people can survive the attacks of a top-tier evil spirit. Moreover..."

Jiang Liu raised her eyes, her alluring gaze sweeping across the rearview mirror towards the back seat—Su Yining was sitting there, her long legs crossed, her hand resting on the car window, her chin propped up, her bright red eyes gazing out the window like a curious kitten going out for the first time.

Beside her, Zhang Chengkang had already woken up, but he looked very unwell.

"You not only survived, you also helped others survive."

Jiang Liu softened her voice, making it as gentle as water:

"Chen Shi, well done."

Chen Shi didn't speak, but simply nodded—at least this time he didn't repeat the same mistake, which can be considered as taking the first step.

Furthermore, they also found fragments of the senior's body and information about the Blooming Flowers Society.

The sports car sped along and stopped in front of "Jiang Ling Qin Shop" ten minutes later.

"Get out of the car." Jiang Liu stepped out of the car with her long legs.

As soon as Chen Shi got out of the car, he saw Su Yining skipping and jumping to his side.

"Then, Miss Jiang, I'll head back now," Zhang Chengkang said as he got out of the car.

"Don't you want to rest for a bit?" Jiang Liu asked, one hand on her hip.

"I won't bother you any longer. With the appearance of a top-tier evil spirit, things must be in complete chaos up there. I need to get back to work."

Zhang Chengkang looked at Chen Shi and nodded:

"Thank you. Not only did you successfully guide the spirit, but you were also able to save people under the pressure of a top-tier evil spirit. Now I understand why Miss Jiang chose you."

"Why thank me? The successful crossing of spirits was also thanks to you helping me hold off the people from the Prosperous Flower Society."

Chen Shi did not claim all the credit; Zhang Chengkang played a crucial role in securing Wenjie's success this time.

Moreover, even when facing a top-tier evil spirit, Zhang Chengkang was instinctively terrified, yet he still dared to rush forward and attack...

This guy is someone I can date.

Let's add each other as friends.

Chen Shi handed over his phone, and Zhang Chengkang was surprised for a moment before taking out his own phone to scan it.

"Ding dong."

[Jiangzhai Butler] has been added as a friend.

Now, Chen Shi's long-empty friends list finally has another friend slot.

Jiang Liu secretly gave her a thumbs up.

"Miss Jiang, I'll be leaving now." Zhang Chengkang pushed up his glasses, his face still expressionless.

"Well, hard work."

"What about Mr. Jiang..." Zhang Chengkang was about to say something, but after glancing at Chen Shi and Su Yining, he finally said, "It's nothing, just contact me if you need anything."

"Bye, elite man."

Goodbye, my senior brother who's obsessed with older men.

"..."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Chengkang, Jiang Liu waved her hand, signaling them to follow.

Su Yining hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

"Although the ending was a bit of a mess, at least the gains this time were not bad."

Jiang Liu sat down, her round buttocks sinking into the office chair.

"Yes, the force behind this is the Blossoming Society. And the Blossoming Society is nurturing a malevolent spirit, with strong connections to the Three-Faced Malevolent Spirit. Furthermore, we found this under the Sorrowful Spirit's bed..."

Chen Shi gave Su Yining a wink, and Su Yining took out a wooden box, opened it, and showed it to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow and slightly bared her teeth:

"This can't be..."

"It was my hand... I think so." Su Yining gave an awkward smile.

"Your body fragments? Under the bed of the malevolent spirit..." Jiang Liu frowned: "It seems that, just as Chen Shi said, your body does indeed have the function of nurturing malevolent spirits."

She did know that some people had special physical constitutions, but this was the first time she had seen someone as special as Su Yining.

"It's just speculation. All we know for now is that Senior Sister's constitution is very special, and her death is inextricably linked to the Blooming Flowers Society," Chen Shi said on behalf of Su Yining.

He noticed it as soon as he came in; Su Yining was acting very unnaturally in front of Jiang Liu.

Su Yining is a spirit, while Jiang Liu is a top-level ferryman; their relationship is inevitably fraught with conflict.

It's like a bad student suddenly being moved to the front row of the classroom, with the teacher standing right in front of them. They can't sleep, and they can't read a novel under the desk either.

"It seems that to find out more, we need to start with the memories of this ghost senior."

Jiang Liu glanced at Su Yining, who immediately tensed up and hissed like a kitten in response to stress.

“Senior, Senior Sister Jiang is on our side,” Chen Shi comforted her.

"Haha, I know, it's just that I couldn't help it... I had this strange feeling of being caught doing something wrong by the teacher." Su Yining laughed somewhat helplessly.

"That's normal. After all, I'm a top-tier ferryman, and spirits definitely don't like my aura."

Jiang Liu said:

"By the way, what's your name...?"

“Su Yining,” Su Yining said.

Chen Shi, standing nearby, also felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Isn't it usually a double dose of healing when two beautiful women are together? But looking at Jiang Liu and Su Yining standing together, he felt a little sweaty.

"Su Yining, after finding the body, did you recall anything?" Jiang Liu asked.

“A little, but the memory is very vague. I can only remember one school, like… a high school?” Su Yining frowned.

"At present, your cause of death and memories are crucial. Are there any landmark features? School emblem? Or the unique features of the campus buildings?" Jiang Liu pressed.

"Um--"

Su Yining closed her eyes, clutching the wooden box in her hands, trying to grasp some clear fragments from the shattered kaleidoscope of memories.

Desks... textbooks... blackboards covered with math formulas...

Half a piece of orange candy.
