Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Acquiring the Spiritual Artifact_1
Qin Sisi paused for a mont, her voice low and slow, "So, whether she can be happy or not, it’s still up to her."
Ye You nodded, "Yes, all I can provide are inherent conditions. Their own choices are the key factor in determining their fate."
Qin Sisi sighed, looked up at the now empty room, and said to Ye You, "Let’s go."
They had finished what they needed to do, there was no need to stay any longer.
"Okay." Ye You responded quietly.
Qin Sisi returned to the balcony, leaped down from the window they had entered, and summoned the Wings of Rainbow in the process.
At the sa ti, Ye You created an Invisible Bubble.
Looking up at the hazy night sky, Qin Sisi suddenly asked, "How much ti is left for the Invisible Bubble?"
Ye You replied, "Another twenty minutes, why?"
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont and then said, "I still want to go to the place where Gu Liang fell into the river."
Ye You glanced at Qin Sisi and said, "We can go, but don’t get your hopes too high."
Gu Liang had spent his life scheming against others without suffering much himself. It was unlikely he would have any unresolved resentnts that would keep him in this world as a wild ghost after death.
But since Qin Sisi wanted to go, Ye You naturally would not refuse. After all, it was he who was the root cause of all this.
Qin Sisi nodded and said, "I know, but I just want to ascertain this. Even if there’s the slightest chance, we should try, right?"
Ye You felt a stir in his heart and looked at Qin Sisi with a deeper aning in his eyes but said nothing.
Qin Sisi changed her direction and followed the route Gu Liang had taken when he drove to the suburban river.
Gu Liang had been driving at night under stress and wasn’t driving very fast.
anwhile, Qin Sisi’s control over the Wings of Rainbow was getting more proficient, and naturally, she could fly faster than Gu Liang could drive.
Fifteen minutes later, Qin Sisi arrived at the spot where Gu Liang had fallen into the river.
The place was dark without any street lights. Ye You stretched out his claw and lit the Ziwei Heaven Fire.
With the illumination of the Ziwei Heaven Fire, Qin Sisi looked at the silently flowing river. The part close to the shore was already slightly frozen, reflecting a few fleeting cold lights under the purple glow.
The river was dark and quiet, showing no signs of life.
Seeing nothing unusual, Qin Sisi and Ye You both closed their eyes, trying hard to detect any trace of a ghost’s presence in the air.
However, ten minutes later, they both opened their eyes and shook their heads at each other.
Though a bit disappointed, Ye You had warned her before they ca, so Qin Sisi did not feel too let down.
She had already gained two soul powers tonight, and Qin Sisi was quite satisfied.
"Let’s go," Ye You whispered softly into Qin Sisi’s ear.
"Mhm." Qin Sisi replied, then hesitated and asked, "shouldn’t we...?"
The Invisible Bubble had expired, so they probably couldn’t use the Wings of Rainbow now.
"I’ll handle it." said Ye You and imdiately extinguished the Ziwei Heaven Fire, drawing a semicircle over their heads.
A translucent silver sphere enveloped them both.
Ye You conjured the silver sphere using magic, then controlled it to fly them ho.
It was between three and four in the morning, the darkest hour before dawn.
After daybreak, the car in the river was quickly discovered and the police were notified by passersby. Law enforcent personnel quickly arrived at the scene.
The car was hoisted out of the water and with it, two bodies were discovered, triggering a major investigation.
The next day, the police received the information Shao Fangfang had sent them. They re-opened Zhu Zihao’s case from a year ago, and based on the information provided by Shao Fangfang, they were able to locate the lawyer who had helped Gu Liang to unlawfully seize Zhu Zihao’s company shares.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, the lawyer admitted to having helped Gu Liang forge false docunts and unlawfully embezzle others’ property under the temptation of money.
Gu Liang’s company also started to be investigated for various financial issues. Both Gu Liang’s household and company fell into chaos.
No one concerned themselves with the spiritual artifacts that Gu Liang had once coveted in this chaotic situation.
Mrs. Gu had taken the House-guarding Treasure Sword that had been hanging in their bedroom and thrown it into their basent. She intended it to be buried with Gu Liang as a burial object.
The Bronze Bagua Mirror over the door lintel of the company’s general manager’s office was also ignored.
During the chaos, Qin Sisi managed to openly take away the House-guarding Treasure Sword and the Bronze Bagua Mirror on a exceptionally dark and windy night.
Everyone was too preoccupied with their own troubles to care about the whereabouts of these two items. Nobody questioned why they had suddenly disappeared.
As for the Mahogany Demon Subduing Pestle in Gu Liang’s car, and the Lotus Jade Guanyin he wore, because both Gu Liang’s car and body were held by the police, Qin Sisi, fearing trouble, decided not to be too greedy and reluctantly gave them up.
Back at ho, Qin Sisi filled a basin with clear water as directed by Ye You, added a few spoons of table salt, and stirred it until it was well mixed.
She soaked the smaller Bronze Bagua Mirror in the basin for a while, then carefully wiped it for a long ti with a clean towel.
Only when Ye You confird it was clean, did Qin Sisi remove the Bronze Bagua Mirror from the water and dry it with another clean towel.
The House-guarding Treasure Sword was a bit more troubleso; it was too long to fit into the basin. She had to dip a towel into the salt water and wipe the sword again and again.
After a few hours of work, the two contaminated spiritual artifacts were finally cleaned.
Looking at the two shiny artifacts, Qin Sisi smiled satisfactorily and turned to Ye You, "They both have their spirituality restored now, right?"
Ye You nodded and said to Qin Sisi affectionately, "Yes, they’ve both been restored. You’ve been busy for so long, it’s ti to rest."
"Mhm," Qin Sisi responded, but then added, "I didn’t expect the thod for restoring spirituality to be so simple."
Ye You laughed and said, "Actually, many things are simple, it’s just that people tend to overthink them."
Qin Sisi blinked, thought for a while, and realized he seed to have a point.
After a busy night, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but yawn, Ye You then encouraged her to rest.
Qin Sisi asked Ye You to store the House-guarding Treasure Sword and Bronze Bagua Mirror in his Portable Space, then she went to bed, carrying Ye You with her.
After four or five hours of sleep, Qin Sisi woke up. She tidied up a bit and set out for the antique market with Ye You.
As they walked into Ju Ya Zhai, the events that had previously happened here still vividly lingered in her mind. But Qin Sisi’s ntality had significantly changed.
Seeing Qin Sisi approaching, the boss, Boss Zheng, looked delighted. The store wasn’t busy, so Boss Zheng got his assistant to handle the purchases while he took Qin Sisi to the private room at the back of the store.
