or your concern. The steward has already invited a doctor who prescribed medicine for me. My parents' affairs are not yet settled, and I dare not fall ill.""Poor child, you've suffered so much. Those...Yu Mei-li was clear that if she continued to hold on, she would become part of the black light. She now confirmed that Gao Yang had been ambushed and resolutely severed her own arm, then turned into a cloud of black smoke, vanishing instantly from the room.

After absorbing the evil energy manifested as arms, the black light drilled back into Gao Yang's body and nestled itself in the spot where his shoulder blade had been shattered by the ripples.

An evil presence entered his body, and Gao Yang's body trembled involuntarily, but he still showed no signs of waking up.

Liàn Yī was currently standing by the window, enjoying the moon and sipping red wine. The evil weapon dagger she had claimed for herself lay quietly on the table, vibrating slightly as it reported its mission progress to Liàn Yī.

The corners of her lips curled into a smile, revealing her good mood. She then drained the glass of red wine in one gulp, believing it was a great start.

The next day, Lian Ri left the residence with her suitcase, handing over the house to a real estate agent and listing it for sale online. By the time she returned to the old site of Xuan Kun Men, the furnished house had already been sold, and the money was deposited into her account. She quickly bought a sea-view house and prepared to move in after finishing her business.

Gao Yang knows the address of the old house, and Bi Yao also knows it. She doesn't want to see these people in the short term, nor does she want to clean up this mess, so she chooses to improve her Xuan power.

Xuankunmen claimed to be a branch of Xuanmen, but it was actually just a small sect with only three disciples in total. After Biyao's father ascended to heaven on a crane, the two of them essentially became independent and left the mountain gate one after another. After all, there were no bustling city streets with lights and revelry in the deep mountains and old forests.

After the original left, they never went back. But Bi Yao went back once, saying she was paying respects to her master, and then she never went again.

The original owner bought offerings and asked his junior sister to take them back. At that time, she was attending to Bi Yao, so she missed the ceremony.

In Rippling's eyes, Bi Yao's actions were strange. Since it was a worship of the master, why only go once If she truly respected her master, she should visit every year. Why did she go once and never again In Rippling's view, this was just an excuse from Bi Yao.

So Lian'er chose to come back and take a look. She opened the courtyard gate and stepped into her former sect. The courtyard, due to a lack of maintenance, had become somewhat dilapidated and desolate. The epee she wore on her waist trembled slightly and pointed in one direction.

The ripples, guided by the evil artifact, walked toward their master's courtyard. When they pushed open the last door, a massive wave of demonic energy surged towards them.

Ripples raised her hand and flung the evil weapon dagger out. Then, she brought her two fingers together in mid-air, drawing a talisman. After the blue runes were successfully drawn, she waved her hand and sent them flying.

With a deafening “BOOM”, the two forces collided, sending ripples that whipped her long hair into a frenzy, yet she remained rooted in place.

"With a whoosh, Lian Ri raised her hand to catch the flying evil weapon dagger. Part of its malice was neutralized by her own talisman, while the rest was absorbed directly by the dagger itself. The entire room was bathed in light, and a meter-long red ribbon floated in the air, now completely harmless."

Looking at the red ribbon in front of her, Lian felt a sense of familiarity. She immediately reached out and pulled it down.

"This is also a cursed artifact, isn't it"

Lien sighed, then remembered that when the original body became a malevolent spirit and was destroyed, a mage named Yu Meili used a weapon called a ribbon. However, the one in the other's hand was white, while hers was red.

"My good master, this is using the Xuan Kun sect's cultivation of evil artifacts. This ribbon was prepared for Bi Yao, but unfortunately, Bi Yao didn't have that fate and ultimately became a weapon for the reborn Yu Mei Li after becoming an evil spirit."

The ripples used her fingernail to cut a gash on her fingertips, causing a drop of blood to fall onto the ribbon. Then, using her bleeding finger, she drew an empty symbol into the air, and after it formed, she swept it into the ribbon, establishing a connection between the two.

The wicked dagger seemed reluctant, quivering even more violently, expressing its displeasure.

"Be good, I'm only using her in this plane. You're going to be with me forever, she's considered your subordinate now. She'll handle normal tasks, and when things get tough, you'll make the grand entrance. That way, you establish yourself as the boss while still being impressive. What do you think"

With red ribbons she casually tied up her waist-length, wavy hair, making her appear even more alluring. She was still talking about the evil dagger in her mouth.

It seemed to accept Ripple's explanation, the dagger stopped vibrating and returned to silence.

Liàn Yī stayed in the sect for a month, using the sect's formation to further enhance her Xuanli by a level. Having accomplished all the purposes of her journey here, Liàn Yī left the sect decisively. She wouldn't be returning here; when Bì Yáo arrived at the designated time, she would find nothing.

Upon returning to the sea view house, it wasn't Bi Yao who awaited her, but two men. The moment they saw Lian Yi, a flicker of confusion crossed their eyes. The taller of the two then stepped forward and asked:

"Hello, may I ask if you are Ms. Wu Lianyi"

"Hello, is there something"

Although the man received a positive response, he still followed up with one more question:

"Are you Xuan Kun Gate martial artist Wu Lianyi"

"Yes."

The ripples confirmed that these two must have ulterior motives for finding him.

"Hello, we are from the XX Public Security Bureau. Your apprentice, Yu Biyao, took on a mission to clear out evil spirits from a haunted house. Unfortunately, she failed the mission, got injured herself, and even put our colleagues at risk."

You don't even have to finish listening to the ripples to know that Bi Yao, with her half bottle of water, has taken on another job beyond her capabilities. She can't handle it herself and drags others down, so she can only push herself out to let her clean up the mess.

"Oh, this junior sister of mine, she's truly incompetent! All she does is bring me trouble! She can only look at feng shui and break bad luck for people. Dealing with evil spirits is beyond her abilities. Over the years, I've cleaned up several messes she's made."

The tone of the ripples was both helpless and angry, with a hint of apology.

Two men exchanged glances, and then the third spoke.

"Master Wu, when would you like to depart"

"Let me rest for one night, and you can come pick me up tomorrow."

Ripples said slowly.

But

"Rest assured, this time, I will have my junior sister Biyao take full responsibility for the injuries your people suffered. It'll also serve as a lesson for her."

The ripples interrupted the other person before they could speak.

Okay, we'll pick up Master Wu tomorrow.

Liàn Yī's ripples nodded and returned to her own seaside villa, which she hadn't stayed in yet. She rested for a night and returned to the city the next day.

"First, take me to the hospital to deal with the problems on your companions. Then I'll go back to the haunted house."

Ripple wore a red embroidered high-waisted long dress today, with black flat shoes on her feet. She tied her hair up in a high ponytail with a red ribbon, looking like an office worker rather than a mage.

"Okay."

The driver readily agreed, he would rather have the other party deal with the problems on his colleagues first.hin. The other person was also very alert, holding a bow and arrow in their hand. Clearly, like them, they were up the mountain to hunt."Wen Xiaogē, why are you back on the mountain again"The ripples...
