In response to Xu ijing's inquiry, Yang Haoran was straightforward, detailing the matter in full.
"You don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it for you. You're already a Burial Master, and your actions should be more reliable," Xu ijing said with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
If this were Lecheng, handling such matters for Yang Haoran would be a simple phone call; after all, he wasn't the one responsible for the person's death.
However, this wasn't Lecheng; it was Ancheng. While Yang Haoran could handle the situation himself, it would undoubtedly be more troubleso. Xu ijing, being a local authority, made a significant difference.
"I appreciate that, but there's another matter I need your help with," Yang Haoran smiled.
Upon hearing that he needed assistance, Xu ijing paused and looked at Yang Haoran.
"Your smile is as fake as ever, and your thick skin remains unchanged. Not only did you cause trouble, but now you want to bother again. Speak up, what is it?" Xu ijing spoke bluntly, but Yang Haoran was accustod to her tone from their usual phone conversations and didn't take offense.
"Ask your subordinates if they've recently guided the soul of a young girl," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Xu ijing furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Are you worried the little girl will seek revenge, jeopardizing her chance for reincarnation?"
Yang Haoran nodded and explained, "The possibility of the little girl seeking revenge is high. If she commits murder, it will truly ruin everything."
Though Xu ijing expressed her disregard verbally, she still took out her mobile phone and dialed a number from her pocket.
"Ask the others if they've recently guided the soul of a little girl, around seven or eight years old."
After hanging up, Xu ijing continued walking. Shortly afterward, her phone rang.
Answering the call, a woman's voice ca from the other end, "Divine envoy, I've asked everyone, and there's no one matching your description."
"Alright, I understand," Xu ijing said, ending the call. She then looked at Yang Haoran and said, "You heard it yourself; there's no such little girl."
Yang Haoran nodded, indicating his understanding. At this point, he could only do so much, as he didn't know where the little girl's soul had gone.
As for whether the culprit had already been dealt with by the little girl, only ti would tell.
Guided by Xu ijing, the two entered an inconspicuous small house. Xu ijing then used Yin spirit power to activate a chanism, revealing a passage on the ground. They walked into it.
"The eting room for Lecheng Yin Division is inside the mountain, while our Ancheng Yin Division's eting room is underground," Xu ijing explained as they walked through the illuminated passage.
"Heh, I've co to the right place. I didn't expect your eting room to be in this Death God Temple," Yang Haoran chuckled.
In less than the ti it takes to smoke a cigarette, they reached the eting room.
The decoration style of this eting room was similar to that of Lecheng Yin Division's—complete with sofas, tables, a liquor cabinet, and more. It didn't resemble a eting room but rather a large living room.
Xu ijing sat on a sofa, crossing her legs, while Yang Haoran sat next to her. Compared to Xu ijing's relaxed posture, Yang Haoran seed sowhat uneasy.
If the Night Watch in Lecheng saw their Boss acting so restrained, they would undoubtedly be shocked speechless.
Seeing Yang Haoran's discomfort, Xu ijing couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on her usually aloof face.
"Heh, look at you being so reserved. What would you like to drink?" Xu ijing asked.
"I'll have so tea. What about you?" Yang Haoran smiled and asked.
"I'll have so tea as well."
"Then, I'll go prepare it."
With that, Yang Haoran stood up, but Xu ijing stopped him.
"Let do it; you're the guest after all. It's been a while since I've done this kind of thing, so let serve you today."
As Xu ijing spoke, she stood up.
"I'll help you," Yang Haoran said.
Xu ijing didn't refuse. With their collaboration, the tea set was quickly arranged on the table, each with a cup of clear tea in front of them.
"How did you open the heaven soul and beco a Burial Master? Can you tell now?" Xu ijing asked.
She had asked Yang Haoran about this before, but considering it was inconvenient over the phone, Yang Haoran had promised to explain in detail when they t in person. Xu ijing hadn't pressed the matter since then, but now that Yang Haoran was in Ancheng, she brought it up.
Yang Haoran had no intention of hiding anything from Xu ijing. Given her direct question, he explained everything, from encountering the spirit master to getting hit by the soul scattering needle, and finally opening the heaven soul. He left out no details, sharing the entire experience with Xu ijing.
Xu ijing listened quietly, without interrupting Yang Haoran. However, as the story progressed, her brows furrowed more and more. Although the incident had passed, Xu ijing couldn't help but feel anxious for Yang Haoran.
"No wonder you asked about the soul scattering needle back then. I didn't expect you to be the one affected by it. You should have told about it at that ti. Even though I couldn't remove the soul scattering needle from your body, I would have avenged you by killing that spirit master," Xu ijing said, taking a sip of tea in a calm manner.
She didn't show any excitent; instead, she remained remarkably composed. However, when she ntioned avenging Yang Haoran, he sensed a strong sense of killing intent from her.
"At that ti, you had just taken over Ancheng, dealing with a lot of troubles. I didn't want to add more to your plate, so I didn't tell you. Besides, look at now; I'm doing fine, aren't I?" Yang Haoran smiled.
"Surviving is one thing, but whether you told or not is another. However, if you had told , the outco might have been different," Xu ijing said, her expression still as cold as ever, but Yang Haoran could sense her dissatisfaction.
Yang Haoran took a sip of tea and then said, "I'm still alive now, and things are better. Regardless of the process, the outco is not bad."
"Heh, you're quite optimistic. Anyway, it's your business, not mine. Whatever choice you make, I don't care," Xu ijing said.
Yang Haoran chuckled, and then his smile gradually faded. There was another matter concerning Xu ijing that he wasn't sure whether to ntion or not.
He intentionally avoided bringing it up earlier, fearing that Xu ijing might not be able to handle it. Therefore, he remained silent about it. However, if he didn't tell her now, Xu ijing would be kept in the dark forever.
Suddenly silent, Yang Haoran puzzled Xu ijing, who looked at him with confusion. Seeing Yang Haoran's smile disappear, she beca even more curious.
"Your signature fake smile is gone. Are you unhappy about what I just said?" Xu ijing asked with a smile.
Yang Haoran shook his head and then said, "There's sothing about you that I don't know if I should tell you, so I'm a bit conflicted."
"Judging by your expression, it's probably not good news. It's enough to make you put away that fake smile. It seems this is not a small matter. My curiosity has been piqued, so you have to tell ." Xu ijing said.
"Then be prepared," Yang Haoran said, pausing before asking, "Do you know about the ultimate yin body?"
"I do; I am the ultimate yin body," Xu ijing replied.
"You know you're the ultimate yin body?" Yang Haoran was sowhat surprised.
"I do, but I only found out not long ago. Huh? Your expression shows surprise but not shock. Did you already know I was the ultimate yin body?" Xu ijing asked.
Facing Xu ijing's confusion, Yang Haoran nodded and then said, "If you found out recently, I knew about it even earlier. What I want to say is related to your ultimate yin body."
