Little Tuanzi was quick and decisive in extracting the old ghost's soul. Although her movements were still a bit clumsy, her accuracy was on par with that of the Tu family's old master.
She split the life - soul in two, rolled it up casually, and then tossed it to the old master of the Tu family. Her action was as casual as throwing away a piece of waste paper. One could hardly tell that what she had thrown was a person's soul.
Niannian didn't have much patience or good temper for such a bad ghost.
Especially considering the old ghost had hurt her third senior brother.
The old master of the Tu family stared at Little Tuanzi's decisive actions in disbelief.
He remembered that Niannian didn't know how to do this when they were extracting the young man's soul just now.
Could it be that she learned it just by watching once?
Her movements were indeed a bit clumsy, as if she had just learned.
But extracting a soul was not as simple as eating or drinking. It would be incredibly amazing if she could learn it just by watching once.
The truth proved that Niannian was indeed that amazing.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been called a prodigious genius.
"Did you just learn how to extract the soul by watching me?" the old master of the Tu family couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah. He was so rude. You all were in a daze, so I did it myself. It was my first time and I just learned it. I'm still a bit unskilled," Niannian said, scratching her head shyly.
She always strived for perfection in everything. An unskilled action was quite embarrassing for her.
The old master of the Tu family could hardly hide his shock.
This little girl, who was so clear - cut about right and wrong, so determined, and so highly talented, would be a perfect child for their family.
If she were really from their family, the Tu family wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
Previously, the old master had liked his own descendants very much. But now, compared with Niannian, his descendants seemed less appealing.
Especially Tu Miaomiao.
She had talent but was good at nothing else.
It was their fault that they had spoiled and over - protected Tu Miaomiao when she was young, which had developed her current character. It was too difficult to change her now, and there was indeed no chance.
The old master no longer hesitated after getting the old ghost's life - soul in his hand.
He repeated the previous operation, integrating the old ghost's life - soul into the lamp. Next, it was Niannian's turn.
She took out three yellow talismans. The old ghost, who was about to be sucked into the life - soul lamp, suddenly stopped halfway.
The isolation formation really worked.
The old master was overjoyed. When he looked at Tu Miaomiao again, there was no more worry in his eyes.
"Act now. Find the location and come back. Don't waste time on the way... No, let your father go with you," the old master said.
He had originally planned for Tu Miaomiao to go alone, but halfway through his words, he stopped.
He mainly recalled Tu Miaomiao's reaction when the old ghost was confessing just now.
She seemed to have forgotten the hatred of the clan's extermination quickly and was indulged in her petty love.
He was really afraid that something unexpected might happen on the way. If she met the culprit, and the culprit made another good confession in the name of their husband - wife relationship, this unfilial descendant of their family might forget all the hatred.
It was safer to have one more person.
Tu Miaomiao was just naive, not stupid. She knew what the old ancestor was worried about when she saw his reaction, and she blushed.
But she couldn't guarantee anything. When she was emotionally overwhelmed, she was really led by the old ghost.
Only when she calmed down did she realize that the old ghost had already done all the wrong things. His confession now was useless, no matter what the reason was.
"Wait a bit more," Niannian said, reaching out her little hand to stop Tu Miaomiao.
Well, ghosts could turn invisible whenever they wanted. They could hide their yin energy. As long as no one observed them deliberately, they wouldn't be discovered.
But those three yellow talismans were real.
If they went out so boldly, people could see the three yellow talismans flying in the air from afar. Who wouldn't be curious and investigate?
It would only take a moment for them to be discovered.
"Let me add an invisibility talisman," Niannian said, picking up the cinnabar brush on the table and starting to draw on the yellow paper.
As she was drawing, the old master beside her grimaced.
This child was good in every aspect, but her handwriting was really ugly.
It was incredibly ugly, too ugly to look at.
The talisman was drawn perfectly in every aspect and could even be regarded as textbook - level. But when it came to her combination of strokes, there was an indescribable... It was really hard to describe.
Niannian seemed to be used to her ugly handwriting. This time, she had even written more carefully.
She was much more serious than when she did her homework usually, and her handwriting was a bit better than before.
After drawing several talismans, Niannian even picked them up to admire.
Well...
She was indeed the most perfect all - round child.
"Done," Niannian said after admiring her masterpieces. She then threw out these talismans.
The invisibility talisman specifically worked on the three confinement talismans.
The four yellow papers formed a circle around the souls of Tu Miaomiao and her father.
The two ghosts suddenly seemed to disappear, evaporating from the spot.
Next, they just had to wait.
Wait for them to come back.
No one could guarantee that their trip would be smooth. As time passed, the two ghosts still hadn't returned even in the dead of night. Everyone present was getting anxious.
It was not until dawn that Tu Miaomiao and her father appeared in the room.
The two ghosts were in a complete mess. Their once - healthy souls were now black and red in patches, as if they had been struck by lightning while walking. They looked extremely miserable.
"What's going on? What did you encounter?" Everyone's first reaction was that the two of them had been discovered. Niannian also quickly stood up and asked.
But the truth was not what they thought. Tu Miaomiao and her father did find the location where the soul lamps were placed, but they also discovered a bigger secret of the Hu family.
"At first, we wandered around the Hu family for a long time but couldn't find the soul lamps. It was not until we went to the former ancestral hall of the Tu family that we found them. Our lamps were still in their original positions. The Hu family didn't move them, but they added something there..."
Tu Miaomiao originally thought that since her husband was so ruthless that he could even desecrate the ancestral tombs of the Tu family, the Tu family's ancestral hall must not have been spared. So she didn't consider that place as a target at first.
After checking every place and finding nothing, she realized that the most unlikely place was the right one.
The original ancestral hall of the Tu family had always housed the soul lamps of all the Tu family members.
All the furnishings inside, including the positions of the red lamps, had remained unchanged.
Hundreds of lamps were burning brightly, illuminating the entire ancestral hall as if it were daytime, even in the middle of the night.
The only thing that had changed was the display in the center of the ancestral hall.
There used to be a memorial tablet of the ancestor, but now it had been replaced by a statue of an evil god.
