Niannian was utterly confused.
With her current mental capacity, she couldn't process so much information.
She only understood one thing.
The reason the Holy Cult was so persistent was that there was a treasure on her, and the Holy Cult wanted it.
Niannian silently lowered her head, looking left and right, trying to find something unusual on herself.
But after searching for a long time, she found nothing.
The most valuable thing on her was the small cross - body bag around her waist, but the things inside seemed easy to obtain with a little effort.
It wasn't worth all this snatching.
Hmm...
The Holy Cult must have made a mistake. There was no treasure on her.
"Alright, we've stayed here too long. It's time to return to the Underworld. We've already captured all the wandering ghosts that strayed here. There's still a huge mess to clean up. Next time something like this happens, give us a heads - up. You brought so many ghosts, and there were only four of us ghost messengers. We almost couldn't handle it."
Black Impermanence shook his head helplessly. Finally, he opened the passage to the Underworld and disappeared from sight with White Impermanence.
Daoist Qingyun scratched his nose awkwardly.
It turned out they knew from the start that they were the ones who had gathered those ghosts.
He should have known better than to do all that preliminary preparation.
They might as well have just let Niannian go down to call for help.
"Let's go quickly too. First, take Niannian to the hospital. Master, come with us."
Daoist Qingyun was really a handful. Shen Weixun glanced at Niannian, whose abdomen was covered in blood, and was eager to leave this place.
This trip wasn't completely fruitless.
At least they knew why the Holy Cult was targeting Niannian.
They also retrieved the soul of their master's wife.
Although there were many twists and turns and they didn't catch any live captives, at least they finally had a preliminary understanding of the Holy Cult.
They were no longer like blind men crossing a river, taking one step at a time.
After returning, they could start researching how to fight back.
Currently, Niannian was a person the Holy Cult wanted to take but couldn't harm.
Thinking from another perspective, Niannian might even get the protection of the Holy Cult.
The information about Yunjia Village was mostly false.
The fierce ghost Niannian happened to meet in the Underworld should have told the truth, but she was also a part of the scheme.
There was indeed an old woman behind it, who instructed the fierce ghost to steal Niannian when she was alive.
The Holy Cult should also know about this.
But the person who summoned the fierce ghost to Yunjia Village might not be the one who had tried to steal Niannian.
After that person was killed, they would surely go to the Underworld.
The Holy Cult probably knew Niannian's network well and knew that she often visited the Underworld. Sending such a ghost to the Underworld would easily expose its identity and the things it had done in life.
Niannian had a good relationship with Black and White Impermanence and the Judge. So whether Niannian happened to meet that fierce ghost or not, the old woman who had instructed others to steal Niannian would be exposed to them.
The final clue would only point to Yunjia Village.
They really went to great lengths to throw out such a bait.
"I'm already fine. Can I not go to the hospital?"
Sitting in the car back to the town, Niannian tugged at her clothes with a big hole in them.
Her abdomen didn't hurt at all.
There wasn't even a scar.
Why go to the hospital?
She didn't like that gloomy place at all.
"No, you must go."
Shen Weixun firmly refused her. Although Niannian's wound had healed, the shocking scene at that time still seemed vivid in his mind.
How could he relax so easily?
She had to get checked!
The medical system in the town was not perfect. At the hospital, Niannian had a full - body basic check - up.
Finally, it was determined that apart from being a bit anemic, there was nothing wrong with her. Only then did Shen Weixun feel relieved.
Daoist Qingyun finally decided to go back with them. Now that they knew the Holy Cult's real target was Niannian, he didn't need to hide anymore.
The most important thing was that he needed Niannian's help to stabilize his wife's soul.
Before going home, Niannian specifically asked her master and senior brothers to accompany her for a stroll around.
She bought a lot of local specialties.
These were gifts for her parents and brothers when she got home.
Receiving gifts from their considerate little girl, the elders were almost in tears.
Which little girl was as smart, well - behaved, and obedient as their little treasure?
She even knew to buy gifts for the adults when she came back from doing something important!
What did this prove?
It proved that they held a very important position in Niannian's heart!
Yu Shanhe finally met Daoist Qingyun, whom he had only heard of but never seen.
These two middle - aged men, both considering themselves Niannian's fathers, hit it off immediately when they met for the first time.
Finally, they got dead drunk. They were almost ready to become sworn brothers.
Niannian had a long period of leisurely days.
During this time, Shen Weixun specifically bought the villa next to Niannian's house and decisively abandoned the larger and more comfortable manor.
This villa was specifically for them, the master and his disciples, to live in.
Niannian lived at her own home one day and at the next - door villa the next day. She was very happy.
The worst - off was the second senior brother.
His leg wouldn't get better for a while. He could only sit in the hospital bored out of his mind.
He had to recuperate for at least half a year before he could be discharged from the hospital.
Liu Chuchen had her own home and could only come over for a short stay occasionally. But this kind of life was enough for Niannian.
Originally, with so many wandering ghosts in the Yu family, they should have moved.
Niannian wanted to remind her parents when she came back.
But when she saw someone in the family photo album, she gave up this idea.
That person was the old man who often wandered in the living room.
She saw the old man in the old family photo album.
Her father told her that he was her grandfather.
Her real grandfather.
Niannian could tell that her father missed his grandfather very much. She originally wanted to help her father see his grandfather, but her grandfather didn't want to. He just wanted to silently accompany his family and didn't want to disturb their lives in a ghostly state.
Anyway, these ghosts at home wouldn't hurt her family, and one of them was her real grandfather.
Niannian thought it was good to stay here.
They shouldn't mention moving anymore.
Life returned to normal until the unlucky one came knocking again.
One day, before dawn, Niannian's phone watch started ringing.
The caller wasn't anyone else. It was her first and so far only client, Luo Wuyou.
When the call came in, Luo Wuyou was panicking and babbling incoherence.
"Little master, little master! Help, help! There are really ghosts!!!"
