However, you have never been one to let others slaughter you!
When you and Zhao’er vaulted over the wall using the Heavenly Ascension Spell, Lei Jianhua, who was in the midst of sprinkling a mixture of incense ashes and water along the wall of the Western-style house, was taken aback and imdiately asked, "Director, you’ve just entered, and you’re out already?"
"Yes. We ran into a tough one, much harder to deal with than expected."
Xiao Feng looked at you and asked, "What’s the plan for dealing with it next?"
"Don’t you have incense ashes? Mix those ashes with paint and get soone to brush it onto the base of this wall!"
"Got it!"
Ever since he was young, Xiao Feng’s favorite thing to do was to cause damage. He never did things like graffiting walls or shooting slingshots at people’s windows infrequently.
While Xiao Feng was making a call, Lei Jianhua, who still had not cleaned his hands, ca over and said to you, "Director, there’s sothing I forgot to tell you."
"Hmm?"
"Two days ago, I distinctly felt soone trying to destroy our Order Barrier."
"Can you figure out who it was?"
Lei Jianhua shook his head, "Just now, when you entered the Western-style house, that person attempted to tamper with the Order Barrier again."
"Outside the barrier, or inside?"
"Inside. And I have a feeling that whatever it is, it’s hiding in this Western-style house."
Your eyebrows furrowed almost imdiately.
This Order Barrier was ant to deal with Hongyuan, also known as Mada Qi—huh?
You suddenly pause!
Wait a mont!
Hongyuan and Mada Qi are not the sa person!
So who is Hongyuan?
And what about Hei Kui?
At this mont, a dark shadow flashes through your mind. Could that dark shadow that welcod you at the door be Hei Kui?
And Hongyuan—oh, that’s right, that’s right, it’s the red-clad female ghost who played with Mada Qi’s son, Li Ruyi!
Recalling the scene when Grandma ng told you those words that day, you quickly realize that Grandma ng had intentionally gone easy on you. Or rather, it was you who had been overly cautious, overcomplicating the situation when in fact Grandma ng had no intention of putting you through hardship. From the very beginning, she was prepared to reveal Zhao’er’s identity to you!
It was laughable that from the start, you didn’t treat it as a trivial matter but laid out a grand strategy. You thought you were masterminding a grand plan, yet for soone as powerful as Grandma ng, it was nothing more than child’s play.
As is well known, the Order Barrier cannot be destroyed by ordinary people, even by soone as profound and mysterious as Grandma ng. After all, there are things in this world that cannot be resolved by brute force.
However, the Order Barrier was disturbed twice, and this was Grandma ng’s subtle hint that she didn’t want you to go around in circles anymore.
Thinking of this, you face so difficulties again.
If it were about finding a person, you might resort to so special thods of the Luanfeng Pavilion; however, now that you are looking for the reincarnation of Fan Xiu, it becos more complicated.
After all, even an all-seeing Sen Luo Eye can’t discern soone’s past life.
And at that mont, seeing you furrow your brow, the usually silent and reticent Zhao’er, out of nowhere, says, "Yun, dog at."
Hmm?
You turn your head with a puzzled look to face Zhao’er.
At that mont, you were shocked.
But what shocked you wasn’t the content of Zhao’er’s reminder, but the fact that she had actually taken the initiative to speak up and help you solve your problem. What did this imply?
Was Zhao’er gradually becoming self-aware?
Joy filled your chest, and unable to control the excitent in your heart, you suddenly pulled Zhao’er into an embrace and kissed her on her delicate cheek!
"Zhao’er, Zhao’er, my dear Zhao’er!"
You were excited to the point of incoherence.
As for Zhao’er, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, forming an intoxicating smile. Yes, she smiled...
Unlike her previous chanical actions, at that mont, you truly felt her genuine laughter.
However, the sensation quickly vanished. If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you might have thought it to be just your imagination!
"President, what about the dog at?"
Dog at?
Yes, right, dog at!
Fan Xiu was the most famous among those in China who slaughtered dogs and sold dog at, and his descendants had even set up a dog at company in Pei County, openly supplying dog at nationwide.
Since Mada Qi’s requirent for you was for Fan Xiu’s reincarnation to eat dog at again, the range of identities for Fan Xiu’s reincarnation was now greatly narrowed!
Wei Shuxian was from Suzhou, and when the four of you in the dorm had nothing to do, you would talk about all sorts of bizarre things, including the Fan Family.
From the ti of Fan Xiu, the Fan Family had two clan rules. One was public, while the other was kept in absolute secrecy, known only to the direct descendants.
The first rule was that mbers of the Fan Family must not enter civil service generation after generation; the second rule was even stranger: no direct descendant of the Fan Family could eat dog at!
The people who sold dog at actually didn’t eat it—this clan rule was indeed perverse!
But on closer contemplation, considering the Wild Dog Ridge on Netherworld Road, the purpose of this perverse clan rule beca crystal clear.
With your thoughts in order, you imdiately said to Lei Jianhua, "Jian Hua, find a way to lift this Order Barrier as soon as possible. We already have the simplest solution to this issue!"
Without waiting for the bewildered Lei Jianhua and Xiao Feng, you turned and got into the car with Zhao’er and said to Jin Qi, who was driving, "Little Jin, take to the train station right away."
While Jin Qi was driving, you had already taken out your cellphone and dialed Tao Wenwen’s number.
"President."
"Wenwen, help check—when is the next high-speed train to Pengcheng?"
Soon Tao Wenwen called back, informing you that there was a high-speed train from Yuhang to Pengcheng almost every hour, and the next train was in forty minutes. You then had her book two tickets online.
You didn’t know why, but your intuition told you that you had to bring Zhao’er with you.
And it wasn’t just this ti; it seed as if a voice was telling you from sowhere that if you really wanted Zhao’er to regain her self-awareness, you’d better keep her with you in the future. Only by being with you would Zhao’er gradually beco more lucid.
At this very mont, while Jin Qi was driving you and Zhao’er to the high-speed train station in the club’s business car, about a hundred ters away from the western-style building where Mada Qi was, on the turret of a park, your unscrupulous mother stood against the wind with a shadow clothed in a black robe flickering in and out of visibility beside her. When sunlight shone down, only the faintest outline could be discerned, but when the sunlight was obscured by the clouds, a tall figure could be seen.
Your mother took a bag of sunflower seeds from her pocket and after cracking a few, asked casually, "Hey, what exactly is Grandma ng selling in her calabash?"
"Not clear."
Tsk," your mother clicked her tongue, looking displeased as she started cracking sunflower seeds by her side.
The man in the black robe paused for a mont before asking, "So, what exactly is Zhao’er’s identity?"
"Don’t know," your mother coolly responded.
