He raised an eyebrow. "Oh What about the people in the office Have they become more sentimental too"“You’ve always been quite kindhearted, just that you seem too cold and aloof, making people hesitate...My brother's phone and Lin Yanqin's phone are both unanswered.

I started to sweat on my forehead, what's going on

Little Ni and Xiao Xing are here too, could they be possessed

It's highly unlikely. The temple fair is bustling with people, if someone wanted to target my brother and Lin Yanqin, Xiao Nie would just need to manifest a dharma form, and he'd be an internet celebrity tomorrow. It's impossible for them to be ambushed silently!

I clutched my phone and dialed Lin Yanhuan's number, my hand shaking slightly.

Jiang Qiyun grasped my wrist and said, "Don't panic, I've sent people to investigate."

"Um, um..." I nodded blankly.

Lin Yanhuan's voice sounded from over there, and I hurriedly told him that my brother and Lin Yanqin were out of contact! And the spirit beast and demon beast in my family were gone too!

Lin Yanhuan listened, his voice turning cold: "...Tell me the specific location. Who has she come into contact with"

I blurted it out immediately. Lin Yanhuan replied with, "Got it."

He hung up my phone.

Dad was starting to get nervous too. He kept calling my brother, who usually lived a carefree life and didn't seem reliable. But he was actually dependable and wouldn't disappear and make the family worry.

Lin Yanhuan's phone rang again soon: "Xiao Qiao, the transmitter on Yanqin's body has no signal. The last signal was emitted from the latter half of Miao Hui Street."

"Understood, can you figure out a way to clear the area" I had a vague feeling that it was the City God Temple's territory.

"No." Lin Yanhuan's voice was somewhat helpless: "It would cause very bad consequences. It can only be searched privately, and we have to wait until near midnight when there are fewer people before we can clear the area."

Okay, okay, no matter what, we'll both act together. Jiang Qiyun didn't say much; he disappeared for a few minutes, shed his shell, and reappeared beside me again.

"Come on," he said, pulling me toward the dharma gate.

It was still bustling with people and lit up like day with lanterns.

But my heart was racing, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

Yixiangyang's stall was already "deserted," occupied by another street vendor.

When I was in a panic, I suddenly heard a faint cry: "Little... Little Lady..."

Who

I looked around.

Under a tree laden with lanterns, that dim-witted little imp who only ever smiled foolishly was now pale with terror and whispered my name in fear.

This… so he's not mute after all!

I suddenly remembered that I had just allowed the two little imps to sneak out to the temple fair. What did they see happen

"Ah-da, why are you the only one here Where's Ah-meng!"

Jiang Qiyun let out a helpless sigh: “ ... Your hobby of randomly naming things is really frustrating.”

What's the point! Just agree to it wouldn't be better!

A-Di and A-Meng also agree.

The little ghost clerk was really bad at speaking, I don't know if it was innate or if he was scared. He spoke in a stutter, and it took me a long time to figure out what he was saying.

I received a call from my father and felt anxious. Jiang Qiyun immediately went back with me to check the situation.

At that time, my brother and Lin Yanqin didn't know what they said to Yi Xianyang. That old man, Yi, packed up his stall and walked into the temple fair street with the two of them.

Along the way, Lin Yanqin kept pulling Xiao Xing, who was happily munching on grilled bananas, calling her "Beauty". My brother went into the crowd to find the little rascal.

As they reached a less crowded side street off the temple fair, a gust of cold wind suddenly arose. Out of that side street appeared a path covered in black mire.

My brother and I hadn't even had time to react when several "people" suddenly surrounded us.

"Who" I asked. My brother wouldn't just go silent after getting into a fight with an ordinary person.

"No, I don't know... I, we peeked... it seemed like, like a puppet, a..." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Daidai Xiao Gui Cha said it with difficulty, was he trying to say puppet

Yue is a master of soul puppetry. She injects ghosts into her puppets, connecting them to the netherworld. This allows her to appear anywhere unnoticed.

The temple fair is crowded with people, and it's easy to blend in as a "puppet" among them.

I couldn't help but fly into a rage, shouting at the river: "How could she—!"

Jiang Qiyun glared at me. I gritted my teeth and endured it. Couldn't I expose her identity

Is she really your spy

Could it be a double agent or something I just don't know if I can trust them.

I'm so pissed off, she not only attacked Younan but also my brother. Even if she had to do it out of desperation, I'm still worried she might betray us.

A wisp of white smoke drifted away, and a young boy carrying a large gourd appeared beside me. He pointed at Jiang Qiyun and said, "Emperor Jun, the Taiyi Divine Being is going to the Underworld. You should hurry back, I don't know what he wants from you…"

"Good." Jiang Qiyun nodded.

He turned to me and said, “Don’t worry, let’s go back to the Underworld first.”

"I... I think I want to go find my brother first."

“I can’t bear to let you go alone. Either you come back with me to the Underworld, or you stay here with the little one and watch over the two children. It’s too coincidental that Taiyi arrives now.” Jiang Qiyun held onto my wrist tightly.

I bit my lip and nodded. "Okay... then you go busy first, I'll go back to watching the children, otherwise I'll be very worried."

Jiang Qiyun nodded, instructing the young attendant, "You stay with the young lady and return. Also tell Quanheng and the maids to surround the entire courtyard with a barrier."

He's very busy, there must be a lot of things to deal with right now. I don't want to go and cause trouble, so I might as well go back and look after the two babies.

Just as Jiang Qiyun vanished, I heard someone point at the sky and exclaim, "Another lunar eclipse!"

Lunar eclipse.

How did everything just end up like this

These are not coincidences, how many years has this layout been going on

Some people have been waiting for their chance, some for hundreds of years, perhaps

Just as I returned to my front door, a patch of muddy bog shrouded in mist appeared behind me. A puppet-like figure suddenly surged from within, lunging at us with terrifying speed!

The little boy walked half a step behind me. This person pounced onto his back, startling him!

"Ouch!! Don't dirty my gourd!" The little boy twisted his body and flung the puppet against the door.

I was seething with rage. Before Quan Heng could arrive, I seized the Zi Xiao Ruyi sword and slashed it forward.

While simultaneously suppressing the demonic force with incantations and imprisoning it within a spiritual prison, the man-puppet was slashed into two ragged pieces. At the same time, the gate to the spiritual prison swung open, and chains dragged away the ghost inhabiting its depths.

The little boy shrank his neck and smacked his tongue, saying: “Little princess, you’re so violent…”

"Stop talking nonsense!"

I wish I could hack that old geezer or Old Wang, or that little demon with the cold eyes!

Ren Kui's head gurgled and rolled to the foot of the screen. Quan Heng walked over, picked up this wooden "head," and examined it.

There were words at the severed neck."husband"."Chirp… chirp… little master, I'm here on behalf of the master to deliver a message… please let me go…" it whispered from the darkness behind the wall."You called me" I pointed at my nose."B...
