Thud!
Without any hesitation, Wen Cai knelt in front of Ninth Uncle.
His face was tightly wrinkled and he looked bitter.
He never dreamed that a five or six-year-old child would have the courage to run out of the mortuary at night. After all, the mortuary was in the desolate wilderness!
Ninth Uncle took a deep breath and looked at the eldest disciple kneeling on the ground. He took a deep breath and asked helplessly,"After I left, what did you talk about with Ye Chen?”
"We didn't say anything…"
Wen Cai scratched his head and said gloomily," I just told him about the classification of xiuzhe and ghosts. I also told him to avoid going to the mass graves in the forest."”
Ninth Uncle was speechless.
His expression changed, and he had a bad feeling.
Children were the most curious. When told not to do something, they would do it even more.
"You…you, you brat, just you wait. I'll deal with you when I get back!”
Ninth Uncle pointed at Wen Cai and said through gritted teeth.
With that, he prepared his magic tools and hurried out.
……
The moon set, and a corner of the sun was revealed.
Although it was still early, the streets of Ren Town were already crowded and bustling with activity.
The streets and alleys were filled with the sound of peddlers hawking and bargaining.
A fair and tender child wearing a red brocade robe with golden edges was walking on the street. Her body emitted a faint young girl's fragrance.
This child was Ye Chen.
He reluctantly agreed to Ren Tingting's plea last night.
Of course, the reason why he was resting in the Ren residence was only because Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu were storyline characters, and it was very useful to get good relations with them to obtain merit points.
"It's fine that these two people hugged me to sleep, but they even hugged me so tightly…"
He walked along the main road and out of the town, muttering to himself,"" I haven't returned to the mortuary for the whole night. Ninth Uncle and the others must be worried about me. I have to go back and report my safety first…"
Thinking of last night, Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile.
After killing three ghosts, the middle-stage evil ghost contributed 20 merit points, and the two late-stage evil ghosts contributed 60 merit points. He received a total of 80 merit points, and he was only 20 points away from a lucky draw.
……
Ninth Uncle had just dragged his tired body back to the mortuary.
"Master, have you found Ye Chen?”
Wen Cai came forward and asked Ninth Uncle carefully.
"I didn't find him…"
Ninth Uncle glanced at him and said in a low voice,"" However, I sensed traces left behind by Dao arts in the forest. Perhaps Ye Chen was saved by a passing cultivator…"
When he arrived at the small forest, Ye Chen and the other two had just left.
There was still a shattered Yin Qi and a terrifying aura of lightning in the air.
He searched for a whole night, but did not find Ye Chen's body.
It could only be said that Ye Chen had attracted the ghost, and a powerful cultivator happened to pass by and save him. Then, the cultivator sensed his uniqueness and took him away.
Wen Cai patted his chest and said," That's good, that's good. Fortunately, nothing happened to Ye Chen. Otherwise, I would die of guilt…"
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He liked the cute Ye Chen very much.
When Ninth Uncle heard this, he suddenly laughed.
Yes, it was good that there was no danger. Everything else was secondary, but…
I lost my successor!
Ninth Uncle looked at Wen Cai and narrowed his eyes. Wen Cai's body trembled as he felt that something was wrong.
"Ninth Uncle, Big Brother Wencai, I'm back!”
At this moment, a childish voice sounded outside the door.
Ninth Uncle was stunned for a moment before a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He quickly walked towards the door, and the dangerous aura on his body dissipated!
"He's here! He was here! Ninth Uncle will open the door for you now!"
You changed your attitude so quickly. I didn't expect you to be such a master…
The corner of Wen Cai's eyes twitched twice. Then, he grinned and walked towards the kitchen.
He must be hungry since he hasn't been home all night. I'll heat up a bowl of chicken soup for him…
Squeak!
The door opened.
Ninth Uncle's smile widened as he looked at the big, watery eyes standing outside the door.
"Little Chen, you're back?"
He said dotingly without a hint of blame.
Ye Chen nodded and said embarrassedly,"I'm back…"
Looking at Ninth Uncle, who was slightly haggard and had bloodshot eyes, he felt a little ashamed.
After entering the courtyard, Ninth Uncle asked casually,""Where did you rest last night? Why do I smell a faint fragrance on your body?”
He smelled the faint fragrance on Ye Chen's body, and his mind was filled with thoughts-could it be that the person who saved Ye Chen last night was a female cultivator?
Thinking about how he had slept with Ren Tingting and her sister for the whole night, but Ninth Uncle had not slept for the whole night, Ye Chen scratched his head and said embarrassedly,
"Last night, I was resting at a big sister's house. Perhaps it was the smell in her room..."
It was indeed a female cultivator…
Ninth Uncle's eyes flashed, but he smiled gently and said,""Last night, did you…"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked,"Did Big Sister give you the little golden lock on your neck?!”
Ye Chen subconsciously looked down.
An exquisite golden lock hung on his chest.
He suddenly understood.
Before entering the Mass Grave, he was worried that he would follow in Qiu Sheng's footsteps and be bewitched by ghosts, so he took out the Evil Warding Golden Lock and put it on, forgetting to take it off.
"Um…I don't know."
A lie often needed many lies to cover it up. Ye Chen did not want to lie, so he simply asked nothing.
However, Ninth Uncle's heart shook because of Ye Chen's words.
He could tell at a glance that the Evil Warding Golden Lock was a precious high-grade magic tool!
Treasures were divided into magic tools and spirit tools.
In this age of chaos, even low-level magic tools were rare treasures!
Even the Maoshan Sect's most precious treasure was a spirit weapon passed down by its founder.
She had used a high-grade magic tool. He couldn't figure out what the female cultivator was thinking.
If she could see Ye Chen's talent, why would she let him come back?
If she did not see it, why would she secretly give Ye Chen such a precious magic weapon?
