Chapter 306 Should I Say It or Not?
In response to Xu Meijing's inquiry, Yang Haoran did not hide anything and recounted the matter in full detail.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will handle it for you. You're already an Emissary of Death, yet you're still so unreliable in how you handle things," Xu Meijing said, her tone laced with dissatisfaction.
If this were in Lecheng, Yang Haoran could handle something like this with just a phone call, after all, he wasn't the one who killed the person.
But this wasn't Lecheng; this was Ancheng. If he really wanted to handle this himself, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would certainly be much more troublesome. However, it was different if Xu Meijing handled it, after all, she was now considered the local expert here.
"Then I'll thank you in advance. However, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with," Yang Haoran chuckled.
Upon hearing that he had something to trouble her with, Xu Meijing paused her steps and looked at Yang Haoran.
"Your smile is as hypocritical as ever, and your nerve is as thick as ever. Not only did you cause me trouble, but you're actually going to create more trouble for me. Tell me, what is it?"
Xu Meijing's words were as impolite as ever, but Yang Haoran had long grown accustomed to it. Whenever he called her for a chat, this woman always spoke in that tone; naturally, he wouldn't take it to heart.
"Ask your subordinates if they've recently guided the spirit of a little girl," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Yang Haoran nodded, and said, "The little girl died tragically, so there's a high possibility she'll seek revenge. If she really kills someone, then she'll truly be ruined."
Xu Meijing shook her head, a speechless expression on her face, and said bluntly, "You can't even manage your own affairs properly, yet you have the leisure to meddle in such trivial matters. Everything has a cause and effect; the murderer sowed this evil cause, and will sooner or later taste the bitter fruit. Do you really need to worry yourself with such unnecessary concerns?"
Although Xu Meijing said this verbally, she still took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
"Ask everyone else if they've recently guided the soul of a little girl, around seven or eight years old."
After hanging up, Xu Meijing started walking again. A moment later, Xu Meijing's phone rang.
She answered the call, and a woman's voice came from the other end.
"Emissary, I've asked everyone, and the person you're looking for isn't here."
"Alright, I understand."
After hanging up, Xu Meijing looked at Yang Haoran and said, "You heard it too, there's no such little girl."
Yang Haoran nodded, indicating his understanding. At present, this was all he could do. After all, he didn't know where the little girl's soul had gone, so he couldn't find her.
As for whether the murderer had already been killed by the little girl, that could only be left to fate.
Led by Xu Meijing, the two entered an unremarkable small house. Then Xu Meijing released her Spirit Power to activate a mechanism; a passage appeared in the ground, and the two walked in.
"Lecheng Underworld Division's meeting room is inside the mountain, while our Ancheng Underworld Division's meeting room, however, is underground."
The passage was lit by lights. Xu Meijing walked, explaining to Yang Haoran as she went.
"Haha, I really came to the right place. I didn't expect your meeting room to be right here in the Death God Temple," Yang Haoran chuckled.
In less than the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the two passed through the passage and arrived at the meeting room.
The decor style of this meeting room was quite similar to that of the Lecheng Underworld Division's. Sofas, tables, wine cabinets, and everything else were present, making it look less like a meeting room and more like a large living room.
Xu Meijing sat on a sofa and crossed her legs. Yang Haoran, on the other hand, sat beside Xu Meijing; compared to Xu Meijing, who had her legs crossed, he appeared somewhat constrained.
If Lecheng's Night Watchers saw their boss looking so reserved at this moment, they would surely be too shocked to speak.
Seeing Yang Haoran's reserved expression, a hint of a smile couldn't help but appear on Xu Meijing's usually cold face.
"Heh, look at you, so unaccomplished. What would you like to drink? " Xu Meijing asked.
"I'll have some tea. What would you like to drink? " Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"I'll have some tea too."
"Then I'll go prepare it."
As he spoke, Yang Haoran stood up, but he was stopped by Xu Meijing.
"Let me do it instead. No matter what, you're a guest. It's been a long time since I've done something like this, so I'll serve you today."
As her words fell, Xu Meijing, who had just sat down, stood up again.
"I'll help you," Yang Haoran said.
Xu Meijing did not refuse. With their cooperation, the tea set was quickly laid out on the table, and a cup of clear tea was placed in front of each of them.
"How did you open your Heaven Soul back then? And how did you become an Emissary of Death? You can tell me now, can't you?"
Regarding this matter, Xu Meijing had asked Yang Haoran about it previously, but considering it was inconvenient over the phone, Yang Haoran hadn't said anything. Instead, he told Xu Meijing he would explain in detail once they met.
Afterward, Xu Meijing hadn't questioned Yang Haoran about it again, but her curiosity hadn't diminished. Now that Yang Haoran had come to Ancheng, she actively brought up the subject.
Yang Haoran originally had no intention of hiding anything from Xu Meijing. Seeing Xu Meijing proactively ask, he recounted everything to her in full detail, from encountering the Spirit Medium, to being struck by the Soul Dispersing Needle, and finally, to opening his Heaven Soul. He omitted nothing, telling Xu Meijing everything.
Xu Meijing listened quietly throughout, without interrupting Yang Haoran. However, the further he went, the tighter her brows furrowed. Although the incident was already in the past, even now, listening to it, Xu Meijing couldn't help but feel a surge of apprehension for Yang Haoran.
"No wonder you suddenly asked me about the Soul Dispersing Needle back then. I didn't expect it was you who was struck by the Soul Dispersing Needle. You should have told me about this at the time. Although I wouldn't have been able to remove the Soul Dispersing Needle from your body, I would have avenged you and killed that Spirit Medium," Xu Meijing took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Not only did Xu Meijing show no excitement, but she seemed remarkably calm. However, when she spoke of avenging Yang Haoran, Yang Haoran sensed an intense killing intent emanating from her.
"At that time, you had just taken over Ancheng and had a mountain of troubles. I didn't want to add to your burdens, so I didn't tell you about it. Besides, aren't I living perfectly well now? " Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Your successful survival is one thing, but whether you told me or not is another. However, if you had truly told me about this, I'm afraid the outcome would have been entirely different."
Although Xu Meijing's expression remained as cold and aloof as ever, and as disdainful as ever, Yang Haoran could still discern her dissatisfaction from her words.
Yang Haoran took a sip of tea, then chuckled, "Aren't I still alive now? And living even better? Regardless of the process, at least the outcome isn't bad."
"Heh, you certainly take things in stride. Anyway, this is your matter, not mine. Whatever choices you make, I can't control them," Xu Meijing said.
Yang Haoran chuckled awkwardly, then the smile on his face gradually faded. There was one more thing concerning Xu Meijing, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
He had deliberately refrained from mentioning it before, precisely because he was worried Xu Meijing wouldn't be able to handle it. Therefore, he hadn't said a single word about it, after all, this woman's temper wasn't exactly good.
But if he didn't tell Xu Meijing about this matter, then Xu Meijing would remain completely in the dark her entire life.
Yang Haoran suddenly fell silent. Xu Meijing looked at him with some confusion, and seeing the smile recede from his face, made her even more puzzled.
"What happened to your signature hypocritical smile? Are you dissatisfied with what I just said? " Xu Meijing asked with a laugh.
Yang Haoran shook his head, then said, "There's something about you, I don't know whether I should say it or not, so I'm a bit conflicted."
"Judging by that expression of yours, it's probably nothing good. For you to drop that hypocritical smile, it seems this isn't a small matter. My curiosity has been piqued by you, so not telling me is definitely not an option," Xu Meijing said.
"Then you'd better prepare yourself mentally. " As his words fell, Yang Haoran paused, then asked Xu Meijing, "Do you know what a Supreme Yin Body is?"
"Yes, I am a Supreme Yin Body," Xu Meijing replied.
"You know you're a Supreme Yin Body? " Yang Haoran was a little surprised.
"Yes, but I only found out recently. Hm? Your expression only shows surprise, but not a hint of shock. You already knew I was a Supreme Yin Body, didn't you?"
"If you only found out about this recently, then I knew about it earlier than you. What I'm about to tell you is related to your Supreme Yin Body."
