"Unfortunately, Miss Xia, we can't promise you anything." Lu Anqi joined their conversation. "Unless we find a dium, you wouldn't be able to talk to your daughter."
Shen Minyao wanted to say that there's a good vessel amongst them, but Jiang Chen gave her a fierce glare to stop her from spouting nonsense in front of their client. The fox woman rolled her eyes. If he didn't want Lu Anqi to get involved, then he shouldn't have dragged her with them tonight.
"Actually, there's another way, Miss Xia," Li Fei'er said; however, her tone was lacking excitent in it. It broke her heart to see a mother desperately trying to seek her daughter one last ti. "There's no need for a dium, but we will need your cooperation. You wouldn't be able to see Bai Xinran's spirit, but you would be able to talk to her. You would be able to hear her voice."
Miss Xia clasped her hands together and pursed her lips.
"It's fine. That's more than enough for , Miss Li," she said in despair. If this was the only way for her to apologize to her daughter, she would do so.
"There's one more thing, Miss Xia. We are going to exorcise her spirit from this place, sending her to the right place she should be," Li Fei'er added. "We need to send her off. Else, she would beco a malevolent spirit if she remained here for too long."
The four of them knew the mont they stepped inside that they needed to find a way to cast out Bai Xinran's spirit. It was important that they would be able to placate her spirit to let go of her grievances, so she would be able to cross to the spirit realm peacefully.
"I understand," Miss Xia agreed with them. If this was the only thing she could do to atone for her mistakes towards her daughter, she would help her daughter leave the mortal realm peacefully without regrets on her part.
An hour later, Miss Xia's husband ca to pick her up along with their son. She kept their plan secret from her husband, assuring him that all would be fine soon.
"Miss Xia is lucky to have an understanding husband," Lu Anqi said as they pushed the furniture aside. The four of them were planning to sleep in the living area for the night.
"I don't sense any lies or malice coming from him, so he couldn't be the person responsible for Bai Xinran's death," Shen Minyao said. She was the only one who didn't bother to help set up a bed for her to sleep in. She didn't need to sleep anyway.
"Miss Shen can tell that much?" Lu Anqi looked at the fox woman in surprise.
"That's because she's more in tune with the spirits and energies around us, so it's easy for her to know who's telling the truth or not," Jiang Chen explained, which made the fox woman give him an inquisitive gaze.
Was he trying to help her by concealing her real identity? Didn't Jiang Chen know that they were bound to find the truth sooner or later?
When Lu Anqi managed to master her sixth sense and when Li Fei'er garnered enough experience and knowledge as a shaman, the two would eventually find out that Shen Minyao wasn't a human… but a demon possessing a human shell instead.
Anyway, she didn't lie to Li Fei'er when the latter asked her about what she was. It wasn't her fault that Li Fei'er refused to believe her answer.
It was already nine in the evening when they called it a night. Li Fei'er and Lu Anqi chose to lie down and took a short nap, while Shen Minyao and Jiang Chen—along with Xiao Bai—moved to the small kitchen and conversed lowly.
"I'm impressed that you are able to connect the webnovel author Yu Lai with Bai Xinran. Say, Mr. Jiang, you do have connections, right?" The nine-tailed fox woman asked.
"It's easy for to request such information. If you still haven't noticed, my surna is Jiang. I ca from the Jiang family who founded this city decades ago."
"Oh, so you are a big shot, I see. Don't tell you know Miss Xia personally. From the way she speaks to you, I assud that you two are sowhat related to each other." Shen Minyao didn't miss the familiarity Jiang Chen showed towards the older woman earlier. It was also suspicious that he was able to convince her to do an interview and allow Li Fei'er to do a divination ritual for her daughter so easily.
"You can say that." Jiang Chen shrugged. "In fact, Miss Xia is one of our family doctors. I was also surprised when I found out Yu Lai was her daughter."
"So it's clear now that the cursed webnovel is nothing but a baseless rumor. Why are you so curious about it, anyway?"
"Because one of the parents of Yu Lai's readers ca to our office to check if there's a way to break the curse," the man explained as they waited for the clock to strike eleven in the evening, "Apparently, her daughter was one of the readers of 'The CEO's Moonlight Love', who had fallen sick.
"When I found out that Miss Xia's daughter was involved, I couldn't bear to ignore the issue. I know I have to prove that the curse doesn't exist and kill people."
"Well, it's pointless to prove it at this state. Whoever started the rumors, he or she certainly held grudges against Bai Xinran," Xiao Bai comnted, his attention then turned to the closed bedroom. He inford the two, "It's almost ti. Her spirit has co."
Jiang Chen rose to his feet and was about to check the bedroom when the door suddenly flew open. If it wasn't for Shen Minyao who held his arm, he would have fallen on the ground.
"I told you it will find a vessel."
