Could it be that they were still affected by the resentment just now?
Helian Wei Wei thought about it and called out,
Yuan Xiaoming.


Here.
Yuan Ming’s low voice appeared. It sounded deeper than its normal mischievous self.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.
Are you still unwell?


No.
Yuan Ming’s lips curled as he revealed himself indistinctly.
Woman, where did you learn that spell you cast at the auction?



Helian Wei Wei paused her footsteps and glanced back at him.
If I said that I have seen a similar spell somewhere, would you believe me?

Yuan Ming stared at her for a bit and chuckled wickedly.
I believe you. I just can’t believe I entered into a contract with an exorcist. No wonder those elders named you the Phoenix Girl.


It was not me who was named the Phoenix Girl. It was Helian Jiao Er.
Helian Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders.
Yuan Ming’s thin lips broadened.
Woman, you misunderstood me. I was referring to the brilliancy of the exorcists. To ensure reincarnation, they led humanity to believe the legend of the Phoenix Girl’s reign. In actual fact, the Phoenix Girl is merely a descendant of the exorcists.


According to the prophecy of the ancient books, an exorcist’s descendant would not reincarnate easily unless the world is facing chaos and the invasion of demons,
Whitey spoke up too, his gaze was cold.
Now that the Eight Trigrams Exorcism Chart has reappeared, it means that someone is trying to destroy the Taichi Seal that has been used to suppress the demons. Someone is keen on releasing all the demons and spirits that are locked in the underworld. For hundreds and thousands of years, that Taichi Seal is the reason mankind could live in peace. If the seal is damaged, it would be similar to unlocking a portal for darkness to enter. The demons would be able to kill without restraint; for to them, men are nothing but the tastiest food ever…

Helian Wei Wei caught the gist immediately.
So, do you mean everything the enemy is doing, including Murong Hongtu’s intention to destroy the peaceful Qi, is to destroy the Taichi Seal?


It’s greatly possible.
Whitey nodded.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes.
Looks like we have to find the dean and tell him everything we are aware of.


Yes.
Whitey retracted his body.
Helian Wei Wei was deep in thought as she trudged ahead. The lighting was bad once she went underground. Someone had lighted the oil lamps. The flickering of the faint candlelight in the depth of the tunnel made the atmosphere seem spooky and terrifying.


Helian Wei Wei frowned. Her footsteps were already gentle, but they were still loud in the narrow and windy tunnel. It made her feel uncomfortable, for it was as if something else was watching her.
However, this was the only route to the underground palace. Fortunately, the tunnel was not long. In a blink of an eye, Helian Wei Wei had arrived at the previous meeting point.
However, Yun Biluo and the rest were evidently not back yet.
Tu Sufeng was not here either.
Strange, did they not agree to meet at this place after the test?

I didn’t expect you to be the first to return.
A rather dense voice appeared behind her.
Helian Wei Wei turned around and saw an instructor pacing over with a scroll in his hand. He sat on the sandalwood chair like Tu Sufeng did and poured tea for two.
Sit.

Helian Wei Wei sat down. She knew this symbolized that it would be a long conversation.

Where are the rest?
The person raised his brows as he questioned.

They must be in the midst of their investigation.
Helian Wei Wei’s tone was very light.


The instructor peeked a glance at her and seemed to be taking notes with his brush.
Your awareness of teamwork is lacking.

Helian Wei Wei knew, but she could not force to collaborate even if she wanted to.

What have you found out?
The instructor spoke again. He was rating her as he questioned her.
Helian Wei Wei spotted the black marks on his neck. Her gaze paused, but she composed her thoughts swiftly. She maintained her relaxed composure as she described what happened at the auction, but she retained some details as usual. For example, she did not reveal her power or what Whitey had shared with her just now.
However, even then, it was enough to change the instructor’s expression.
We just knew that Murong Hongtu may be illegally hunting magical creatures, I can’t believe that he’d even…


It’s surprisingly shocking.
Helian Wei Wei’s long sleeves swept the table as her finger fell on the cup’s rim.
The instructor stopped the movements of his hands and took the cup by the side to drink from it. He was still digesting the news Helian Wei Wei brought to him.

Do you see how he demonized with your own eyes?
Something seemed to have crossed his mind as he lifted his eyes all of a sudden.
Helian Wei Wei was still enjoying her tea. Upon hearing his question, she nodded.
But I think the word ‘demonized’ may be inappropriate. Murong Hongtu must have been possessed by a spirit.

The attitude of the person sitting opposite her turned cold when he heard that. He then stared at her with a deadly gaze.
Spirit possession? Do you even know what you are saying? As a new member of the Battle Spirit Forces, you should not be saying something so superstitious. How do you think I should report this?




But it is a fact.
Helian Wei Wei crossed her legs calmly as she looked for the right words.
To be honest, I did not believe spirit possession was possible either. But after I saw the black shadow appearing out of Murong Hongtu’s head, I came to believe it. He is definitely controlled by something. Think about it, if you believe in possession, why can’t you accept the subject of spirit possession?

The instructor squinted his eyes as he pondered upon Helian Wei Wei’s words.
According to you, he was not Murong Hongtu even from the start?


That’s highly possible.
Helian Wei Wei’s fingers glided on the teacup.
Moreover, the master he mentioned is worth investigating. Since this time Murong Hongtu is harming magical beasts illegally, I suspect that this ‘master’ who is acting the same way like him is likely to be possessed by a spirit too.

The instructor frowned.
Why do you think so?

Helian Wei Wei lifted her cup and took a sip gently.
Simple, because this master would need an abundance of bodies.

However, she was still unsure of how Murong Hongtu came to be possessed…

I underestimated your intelligence.
The instructor chuckled and stood up. He gestured with his cup.
Tu Sufeng has an eye for talent. I see that his choice was right. You have won this test.

Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly as she accepted his praise. She took another sip of tea and replied,
Thank you.

However, she failed to see the instructor’s strange and clouded gaze as she faced down to drink her tea…
