the old general spoke first:"Lian Yi has been working very hard lately, consistently attending online courses. Last month, Zi Feng came back for a visit and had a conversation with Lian Yi. He thinks...Liàn Yī faced Bì Yáo's slightly reproachful voice, not caring at all. He just walked over, sat down by the bed, took the phone from her hand, put it on the bedside table, and then said solemnly:

"Let me see if you've been hurt."

Ripples hand reached towards Bi Yao's wrist, checking her pulse. The other didn't resist, because every time Bi Yao was in trouble, Ripples would do this.

Bi Yao felt a surge of profound energy flowing through her meridians. A flash of jealousy crossed her eyes, quickly replaced with a composed demeanor as she prepared to play the victim.

"Senior Sister, this time it truly wasn't me being boastful. They didn't explain the mission details clearly. I thought there was only one evil spirit in the haunted house, but there were two, so that's why I failed."

"I've told you how many times, don't be careless. This time things are complicated. Those ten light cases, I've already dispelled the evil from within them, but those five serious cases..."

Ripple paused there for a moment, shook her head, then continued:

"Biyao, you shouldn't spread the evil spirit's attacks onto them. They are just ordinary people and have no protective qi. They can't withstand such attacks."

"It's their slow reaction, they didn't dodge, but it has nothing to do with me!"

Bi Yao immediately denied it and then took Lian Yi's hand, saying:

"Senior Sister, this time you absolutely must help me, or else the reputation of Xuan Kun Gate will be lost!"

"You make me think."

Ripple retracted his hand, the one he'd used to check Bi Yao's pulse. He patted her shoulder lightly then frowned and said.

“The police who came with me were very harsh. They said if we couldn't get those five seriously injured colleagues to recover, he would sue our Xuan Kun Men at the Sorcerer’s Association. And you are now restricted from leaving. The guards at the gate are all Xuan Men sorcerers.”

“I know, so I could only use my senior sister's name to hold them back.”

Bi Yao said disdainfully.

"Even now, if you bring me out, I can't immediately find a way to solve the problems of those five people. I just went to see them, and the one who was injured the worst won't make it through the night."

Ripples spread his hands.

"What shall we do then"

Bi Yao's complexion changed, and she asked with a hint of anger.

"Little sister, I need to find out the reason. I'm going to that haunted house tonight. You have to buy me, and yourself, some time."

Ripples said faintly.

"What does my senior sister want me to do"

Bi Yao raised an eyebrow and asked.

"People over here are dead, you can't just keep lying here on your phone. This is so obvious, it's provoking trouble and you're doing this! I've told you so many times, you always say you'll change, but in the end, I always have to clean up your mess."

"My dear senior sister, don't worry about me. Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it. Above all, we must not let the Mage Association take back my mage qualification!"

Bi Yao still knew her place and immediately interrupted Lian Xi's rambling. Every time something happened, this nominal senior sister of hers would go on about it for ages.

Then you should feign illness, but this illness must be real and not easily seen through by anyone, whether they are ordinary people or mages.

Ripple spoke.

I understand.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Ri raised her hand and shoved a ball of evil energy into Bi Yao's body. The evil energy seemed to have eyes, rushing towards Bi Yao's shoulders, arms, chest, thighs, and ankles—precisely the areas where those ten dry officials had been afflicted by evil energy before.

Bi Yao was startled and instinctively circulated her Xuan Qi to resist the evil energy. The next second, she was directly struck on the chest by a palm strike from Lian Ri. A powerful wave of Xuan Qi also surged into her body, immediately dispersing the Xuan Qi she had just gathered.

"Wow!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Bi Yao's mouth, and her face instantly turned pale. Her whole body withered away and she collapsed onto the sickbed. She turned her head, glared at Lian'er with fury, and gritted her teeth, hissing:

"Wu Lianyi, what do you do"

"Biyao, you look like a patient now, both inside and out. That's the only way to fool the Sorcerer's Association and better gain sympathy from the cooperating departments. "

You're not really sick just because you're wearing a patient's gown. And with your rosy lips and bright eyes, you look full of energy! You don't seem like a patient at all. What are you doing, trying to waste time

Ripples smiled and said at this time.

She also thoughtfully pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped the fresh blood from Bi Yao's lips.

Bi Yao wanted to dodge, but she couldn't move at all right now. The domineering Xuan force from the ripple was tugging against her own Xuan force within her body, and meanwhile, the evil energy took the opportunity to start corroding her body.

Ripple ignored Biyao's angry glare, pulling the blanket over her and standing at the edge of the bed, looking down at her with an indifferent expression, he said:

"This is my last time helping you. Everything you're enduring today is what you deserve. If there's a next time, I won't mind taking over from the master and expelling you from the sect, stripping you of your cultivation."

As he said this, ripples' gaze swept over the other person's dantian, then in Biyao’s increasingly terrified eyes, his right hand gently covered it, as if sensing Biyao's Xuan force.

"There won't be a next time."

Bi Yao felt the strength in that hand and immediately reassured him.

"That's great."

Ripple retracted her hand and looked at Biyao again. At this time, Biyao lowered her eyes, concealing all her emotions, and focused on dealing with the Xuan force within her body.

"Get some rest!"

Ripples turned and left the ward. After going out, she said to the two people at the door:

"The Arcanists' Guild will take her back for investigation. Thanks for holding the fort a little longer."

Okay.

Both of them immediately replied.

"The ripples then said to Xiao Zhang:"

“This junior sister of mine is simply too incompetent. I reprimanded her just now, but she still shows no remorse. To prevent her from causing another fatality next time, you must immediately contact the Mage Association and, taking advantage of this failed mission, revoke her mage qualifications.”

" (Is this really a fellow disciple)

"

Didn't you hear me Do I need to repeat myself

"

The ripple of her voice was soft as she asked, and Xiao Zhang, facing her, was clearly taken aback.

"No, no need. I'll contact the department right away."

"Rest assured, I will come forward to testify."

The ripples are very reasonable.

"Now is not the best time to go to a haunted house, first go to your station, I want to take a closer look at the file of the haunted house."

Ripples arranged her schedule for the next few days.

"Alright, I'll send it to Master Wu right away."

Xia Zhang immediately said.

Just as ripples entered the ward to see her junior sister, Xiao Zhang received a call from the captain, saying that the five colleagues who were seriously injured had improved their condition and were gradually waking up.

With these preparations in place, Xiao Zhang was confident that Master Wu could solve this haunting case. So, he readily obeyed orders and drove the man back to the station.

In the single room, Biyao cried out loudly, hoping someone outside would come to her aid. Unfortunately, there was no response. She struggled to pick up the phone on the bedside table, wanting to call for help, but the phone had no signal at all. The room she was in was completely isolated.

"Wu Lianyi!!!"d go quickly."Zhao Fengnian had already drawn his pistol and cocked it.Wang Fendou had just run to a place with signal when his phone rang before he even took it out. He saw it was Qian Siming and pre...
