The live broadcast of the second phase of "Spiritual Battle" was about to start. The program crew sent over the plane tickets.
At the airport, before leaving, Ning Yitao gave Duan Qinghuai a bunch of talismans. Although he didn't understand a word, judging from his confused look, he had no idea how attractive his constitution was.
Especially during this period, without other little ghosts bothering him, the golden aura on him became even more dazzling. Although she had cast an illusion spell on him, if he was targeted by a great demon, the talismans in his hand could only buy him a moment of protection.
If the "cabbage" she had carefully nurtured came back only to find it had been "eaten by a pig", she would really be furious.
She originally wanted him to go to the competition venue with her, but he had to stay behind to handle Lu Anguo's affairs. She wanted to leave Zhaocai to protect him, but Zhaocai was also unreliable. Once he heard that the competition venue was in the United States, he insisted on going. He said he still had unfinished business there.
Now, in Ning Yitao's eyes, Duan Qinghuai was no different from a gold bar walking alone on the street without her protection.
Ning Yitao paced around Duan Qinghuai, sighed, shook her head and admonished him, "I'm really worried about you. Don't go to the hospital after you go back. Your weak constitution can't be cured by the hospital. The hospital has a heavy yin energy, which will only make you weaker. After you finish handling the matter, go to the Sanhua Taoist Temple. There will at least be someone to protect you if something happens."
She could sense the aura of the Tianxuan Sect disciples in the Sanhua Taoist Temple. Although the Xuanmen was in decline, the Tianxuan Sect still carried on, and she could still feel the faint incense offerings. The people inside should be able to protect Duan Qinghuai's safety for these few days.
Duan Qinghuai felt Ning Yitao's concern and watched as she fretted over him. He felt warm inside. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself and wait for you to come back."
Ning Yitao pulled Duan Qinghuai and rambled on with her worries. By the time the plane was about to take off, she was still going on and on.
Duan Qinghuai wasn't annoyed. He just listened obediently to Ning Yitao. He watched as the once arrogant little girl now chattered non - stop. It was such a contrast!
Was this what it felt like to be cared about? Duan Qinghuai's thoughts drifted further and further.
But it wasn't Duan Qinghuai's fault. Since Lu Anguo's death, although his elder brother was good to him, he had never been so reluctant to part.
As for Ning Yitao, she simply lusted after the spiritual energy on him. With their own agendas, they somehow communicated in perfect harmony. Finally, at the last moment, Ning Yitao boarded the plane for the competition.
*****
As soon as she got off the plane, the program crew members came up to her and handed Ning Yitao something that looked like a Bluetooth earphone.
"The competition venue this time is in the United States. All the contestants this time have won and advanced from the national competition areas. To facilitate better communication among the contestants, we're distributing translators." The staff member who came to pick them up explained.
When Ning Yitao entered the waiting area, as expected, there were hardly any Chinese people in sight. To her surprise, she saw a familiar face in the crowd from afar. Henry had also successfully advanced from the Chinese competition area.
Henry spotted Ning Yitao and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He was about to walk over, but after taking just two steps, Ning Yitao was intercepted.
A woman in a black - gray robe got to Ning Yitao first.
"Hello, I'm Sarawa, an exorcist." On the surface, Sarawa seemed polite and eager to make friends, but the tone of her voice was extremely provocative.
Instead of reaching out in a friendly gesture, she just looked down at Ning Yitao haughtily.
Taking advantage of her racial height advantage, she deliberately stood in front of Ning Yitao to exert pressure, trying to intimidate this seemingly inexperienced little girl.
Ning Yitao knew the woman meant no good, but she didn't care. Sarawa wasn't someone who could pique her interest. There was no need to argue with her.
Ning Yitao just tilted her head slightly to signal her to continue, then she found a chair and sat down.
Sarawa was annoyed by Ning Yitao's attitude. She wouldn't let it go. She deliberately bent down and whispered threateningly into Ning Yitao's ear, "I can sense that there's another soul in your body. If you plan to cheat with it, I don't mind erasing that soul right now."
Ning Yitao found it ridiculous. She thought there was some big deal that made Sarawa so imposing. It turned out to be just this.
Ning Yitao imitated Sarawa. Before the woman could fully stand up, she quickly grabbed her collar and pulled her back in front of her.
Sarawa's first reaction when her clothes were grabbed was to struggle, but she found she couldn't break free at all. She could only bend down reluctantly following Ning Yitao's movement.
Ning Yitao slowly raised her other hand to tidy up Sarawa's hair and replied calmly, "Sure, traitor. I'll be waiting anytime."
Then she let go.
Watching Sarawa's face change drastically, Ning Yitao grinned and showed her a sweet smile. She looked innocent, as if she knew nothing.
But her eyes were like the bottom of a deep pool. One look and it seemed as if they could see into people's hearts. They clearly conveyed a warning.
Seeing that Ning Yitao saw through her at a glance, Sarawa suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Before she knew it, cold sweat had broken out on her hands.
"How could she know?!" Sarawa was furious. Everyone who knew about this matter was already dead. How could she possibly know?
Sarawa tried hard to suppress her emotions. There were too many people around, and the contestants were still entering the venue one after another. She couldn't cause a scene in front of so many people.
She didn't know how Ning Yitao knew about this, but after what just happened, she knew this girl was not to be trifled with.
But she simply thought that Ning Yitao knew all this because of the other soul in her body.
She could sense that there had been two souls in Ning Yitao's body, but she didn't know that the other Ning Yitao's soul was already gone. All that remained was the sect leader of the Tianxuan Sect, Ning Yitao.
"You wait for me. I will definitely find out the person hiding behind you and make him pay." Originally, she had sensed a different aura on Ning Yitao and wanted to warn her to see if she could be used by her.
But instead, she was seen through at a glance. Sarawa forced herself to save face, threw down this harsh word and turned away.
Sarawa walked over to a group of spiritual mediums. The next second, they all looked in Ning Yitao's direction and whispered to each other.
Ning Yitao knew they were up to something. Since they wanted to watch, she would let them watch openly. She would show them how they would end up defeated by her.
Ning Yitao waved provocatively in their direction and, according to the original owner's memory, made a universally - recognized friendly gesture at them.
Sure enough, they were so angry that they wanted to rush over, but they had to hold back their temper because of the live - broadcast cameras. The contestant with the lowest number of audience votes would be eliminated.
Ning Yitao sat there contentedly, humming a tuneless melody leisurely.
Henry had seen that Sarawa had come to cause trouble for Ning Yitao. He originally wanted to go up and help her, but he didn't expect that she could force Sarawa, that bad luck charm, back with just one sentence.
Henry was in awe. His eyes were filled with admiration, and he was even more determined to cling to Goddess Ning's thigh.
Seeing Sarawa return in defeat, Henry immediately sat down next to Ning Yitao. He looked serious and said, "Goddess Ning, you've become a huge sensation on the internet. I didn't get to thank you in time for saving my life last time. Now I'm here to thank you properly. If it weren't for you, I might not be here now."
Gone was the playboy look he had when they first met. Now in front of Ning Yitao, he was as nervous as a child in front of an elder.
Ning Yitao wasn't surprised by Henry's arrival. "You don't need to thank me. You know I've already received your reward. We're even."
"Such a small amount of money is nothing. After I advanced this time, I investigated all the other contestants. Goddess Ning, you need to be careful of that exorcist who just came to find you. Don't be fooled by her young age. Her exorcism methods are notoriously cruel. She's very insidious. Although she can indeed exorcise demons, the after - effects are also terrifying."
Before Henry could finish his introduction, a staff member called him. It was his turn to take the stage.
"I'll come back and talk to you, I'll come back and talk to you." Henry was being pulled away by the staff member, but he still stretched out his hand towards Ning Yitao reluctantly. After Henry left.
Zhaocai slowly poked his head out from Ning Yitao's sleeve and asked, "He said that woman is insidious. Do you think it was her who cast the curse on the original owner?"
