Hierarchy and Respect of Status
n. The cries from next door had ceased, leaving only the slow and steady sound of wooden fish chanting.As I went to the restroom, I glanced haphazardly at the courtyard through the ornately carved win...The momentum, it ebbs and flows.
Losing the name seal was a knot in my heart. It was something Jiang Qiyun had given me personally. In those first few agonizing nights, there was silence between us, each of us lost in our own turmoil. We were close physically, but emotionally distant.
Under such a state of mind, he still gave me that seal. It was his silent way of taking responsibility, but I didn't understand it at the time.
After I learned the meaning of this seal, I blamed myself countless times. Why didn't I hold onto it tightly
My heart aches like a precious keepsake has been lost.
At this time, the appearance of this woman was extraordinarily abnormal. One could immediately tell that it was the ghost of that human demon wreaking havoc.
"I know exactly who you are! Don't think changing locations will make me forget you! Where's my seal!" I stormed in, furious.
She shuddered, clutching her head and diving into the bushes, a sharp voice escaping her lips: "No, it's not my fault!"
"None of your business So that means you know where Ming Zhang is!"
"None of your business, is it" I raised my hands and formed the most difficult move I could manage, the Divine Tiger Summoning Soul. The Divine Tiger Hall, Pursuing Ghosts... This person's face contorted like a strange bird, he heard the tiger's roar and screamed in fear!
The roar of the tiger shattered the air, but it didn't come crashing down from the sky like it usually did. I was taken aback—where was the tiger
The doubt lasted only a second, a clearly defined giant tiger claw slammed down from the roof, the woman was pressed into the hay like an insect!
"Damn it!" My brother's voice rang out from outside, and he burst in, demanding, "Little Qiao, what have you done!"
"I... I pinched a divine tiger to summon its soul..." I was also stunned——
Could this gigantic tiger be the one I summoned!
One tiger claw can crush an adult woman. How did it grow to be so big!
"Spare my life, Your Highness!" the woman shrieked in a piercing voice that grated on one's nerves.
My brother looked at me in disbelief, then stepped back to look at the tiger's head hanging low over the courtyard. The whole courtyard seemed like a small ball compared to this divine tiger.
"You... you've made incredible progress in your cultivation Jiang Qiyun is practicing with you every day, isn't he" My brother asked in bewilderment.
It's not like I have anything to do with double majoring!
I glared at my brother, what time is he making jokes now!
“Since you’ve picked up the seal, you should return it to me immediately! Can’t you see whose name is inscribed beneath it!” I roared at the man, my voice laced with fury. “That belongs to your Emperor! How dare you keep it hidden!”
The woman was pinned down by the divine tiger, looking like a frog lying on its back in a haystack.
She couldn't move her body, her limbs trembling uncontrollably. She trembled and replied, "I... I saw Mingzhang fall by your side, covered by those evil spirits. I thought it was something valuable, so I wanted to secretly take it! Later—桀桀桀—"
She frantically clutched at her own neck.
"What happened later! Tell me quickly! Or I'll have the Divine Tiger tear you to shreds!" I was furious. It turned out this scoundrel had seen my seal from the start, but greedily pretended to threaten me, making me run away so he could steal it.
“Later, just as you left, a ghost Taoist entered the Evil Ghost Path through the Corpse Marsh Yin Road. He saw me swallow that charm! And wanted to kill me! I desperately fled, and under Chi Kuo’s interception, the ghost Taoist disappeared… But ever since then, evil ghosts have been driven by dark magic to capture me, pulling out my feathers. I'm a little scared… but I'm too afraid to say that I hid the treasure…”
"Where's that name seal You've been running from the mortal realm for so long! Is it still on you" I asked anxiously.
"He's gone! The nameplate is no longer on me! I thought it was Situ Lin who wanted to kill me and take the nameplate, but—but I was captured by another group of people! They took the nameplate and said they would 'eradicate all evil' and wipe me out. I tried my best to escape, and I'm still being hunted!"
I let out a heavy sigh of frustration and asked, “Who took the name seal”
They called themselves the Arcane Association, gathering mages from all schools and sects. They proclaimed their mission to eliminate evil, purging all demons and monsters, and they were paid for each one they eliminated! The Human-Faced Fiend pleaded pitifully: "My Lady, spare me! It was only a moment of greed that led me astray... Now my physical body is gone, I only beg to possess another and cling to life. Please, My Lady, have mercy and let me live!"
I let out a wry chuckle: "Let you off the hook If it weren't for your greed, you wouldn't be in this mess! Now, possessing someone else to do evil, you want to drive away this household's door gods and stove god... are you trying to kill them What face do you have to beg for mercy"
The woman's face contorted with a twisted expression. Her features were all squeezed together, her eyes bulging like a startled chicken. Her sharp, pointy visage was utterly terrifying to behold.
"Little Imperial Concubine, you are not a true deity! What right do you have to punish me! Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself arrived, I would—"
Her voice grew increasingly shrill, her limbs thrashing desperately, but the tiger's claws held her fast, pinning her immobile.
A chill ran through me, and the fire in the hearth, which had been burning brightly just moments ago, was suddenly extinguished by a wave of icy air, sputtering out with two feeble pops.
Jiang Qiyun appeared behind me, his demeanor arrogant and aloof. He coldly cast his gaze upon her.
"Even if I were to descend myself, would you still not fear" Jiang Qiyun's voice was as cold as a frost blade.
The woman raised her hand to cover her face, trembling and unable to speak. She was so frightened that the liquid flowed out from beneath her.
"Qi Yun, this woman is innocent. Don't even—" I quickly whispered.
He glanced at me and said faintly, "I know my limits."
I was speechless, you acted recklessly with no regard for boundaries.
"Brother-in-law, this thing has brought a lot of information. It's best to show mercy." My brother's voice came from behind.
I turned my head and saw him leaning against the wooden door, happily munching on a ripe watermelon.
"To be honest, this guy must know what the person who took the name seal looks like. What's this Xuanxuan Society This is the second time we've heard about it. How could such a powerful organization be so low-key in the circle before We haven't heard of it at all. It seems like its influence has expanded very quickly recently!" My brother sneered, "It looks like the Xuanxuan Society also has its own purpose, and that's why it's gradually surfacing."
Jiang Qiyun pinched a spell to summon several ghost messengers. He pulled the soul of the human-faced monster from this woman's body. Turning to me, he said, "You guys go straight to the Shen family. I'll take this vile creature back to the Underworld to examine his memories and track down the person who took the name seal."
I whispered, "What are we going to the Shen residence for..."
Having to see Old Madam Shen with that stern face again And having to see Shen Qingrui give me the cold shoulder
Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "Don't be upset... They found out something, you go directly to listen to the report, so I don't have to run there."
"Oh."
"Did you summon this divine tiger" he asked suddenly.
