Upon learning that Bai Xue had not gone out on a mission tonight, Yang Haoran felt a wave of relief.
Since she hadn't gone out on a mission, it meant that nothing major had happened in Lecheng yet. If Bai Xue had already completed a mission and simply returned home before him, he would definitely need to get a detailed account to see if there was any trace of Spirit Masters in the executed mission.
"Underworld Officer, has something big happened? " Bai Xue's worry, far from diminishing, intensified as she asked Yang Haoran.
"Something big has indeed happened. " Yang Haoran nodded, not denying Bai Xue's conjecture.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue's expression changed. She had been with Yang Haoran for more than just a day or two; normally, when Yang Haoran said something was a "big deal," he wasn't crying wolf. Moreover, Yang Haoran's injuries were quite severe, making her suspect that the matter was likely more serious than she had imagined.
"What exactly happened? Can you please explain it clearly? I'm dying of anxiety! " Bai Xue asked, her face etched with urgency.
"This matter isn't something I can explain briefly. I'll give you a detailed account once Old Master Wu returns."
"Girl, how is Ye Zhiqiu's recovery coming along? " Yang Haoran asked.
"Very stable. He still needs some time for a full recovery. I originally wanted to keep him in the treatment room to make it easier for me to treat you, but he insisted on returning to his own room. " Feng Xiao replied, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"Lying anywhere is still lying. Perhaps he just feels more comfortable in his own bed. As long as his injuries are stable, that's what matters. " Yang Haoran responded.
"Brother Yang, you still have the mind to worry about Uncle Ye? Your face is pale, your aura is weak, and you have several stab wounds on you—you must have lost a lot of blood. You should worry about yourself first. I think it would be best if I treated your wounds and then you took some healing pills. That would be good for your injuries and speed up the healing process. " Feng Xiao suggested.
"No need to go to such trouble. I still have the pills and medicinal liquid you gave me; I just haven't been willing to use them. " Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"What's there to be unwilling about? If you use them up, just have Xiao Xiao refine more. If we run out of herbs, we can go search for them or find a way to buy them. Are medicinal pills more important, or is a person more important? " Bai Xue furrowed her brow slightly, speaking with some displeasure.
"Sister Bai Xue is right. Besides, I've accumulated quite a few different medicines now; we're not so poor that we can't afford it. " Feng Xiao said.
"When it's not absolutely necessary, it's best not to waste them. Otherwise, when you truly need them, you won't have any."
As he spoke, Yang Haoran slightly parted his lips, and a medicinal pill slowly floated out. This was the very pill he had consumed earlier tonight. He had placed a seal on it, so it had remained safely within his body, without any depletion. Now that he felt he wouldn't need it, he took the pill out and stored it back in his private dimension.
Feng Xiao naturally recognized what this medicinal pill was for, as it had originally come from her. She watched Yang Haoran's actions, feeling a bit speechless.
"I say, Brother Yang, even if you're frugal, you don't need to be *this* frugal. It's not like we don't have the means. Besides, even if you're unwilling to take the pills, you should at least consume some of the medicinal liquid, right? You're making us really worried."
Upon hearing Feng Xiao's words, Bai Xue also wanted to say something, but Yang Haoran, seeing this, quickly waved his hand to stop her.
"Haha, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
To prevent the two women from nagging him further, and to alleviate their worry, Yang Haoran took out a bottle of medicinal liquid from his private dimension and dripped a single drop into his mouth.
The medicinal liquid he was currently taking was the same kind he had previously given to Shi Kai and the Yunchuan City Soul-Sower. While the efficacy of a single drop of this liquid wasn't as potent as the pill he had just put away, its effects were still quite good. Taking a few more drops would yield even better results, but he chose not to.
After putting away the medicinal liquid, to avoid further nagging from the two women, he quickly turned his gaze to Xiujuan, who was standing beside him. Xiujuan was currently frowning, her eyes reflecting both doubt and concern.
"What's wrong? Can't you reach them? " Yang Haoran asked.
Xiujuan lowered her phone and shook her head at Yang Haoran.
"I can't reach them. Old Master Wu's phone has been unreachable."
Xiujuan's words made Yang Haoran's smile fade, and his brow furrowed slightly. Feng Xiao and Bai Xue also shifted their attention to Xiujuan.
"Could they be in too remote a place right now, so their phones have no signal? Or perhaps they're in an area with a particularly dense concentration of Yin Qi, which would also interfere with phone signals to some extent. " Bai Xue analyzed.
"Since Grandfather Wu and Xiaokang went out tonight to guide departed souls, it's not impossible for them to be in places with heavy Yin Qi. " Feng Xiao said.
Xiujuan shook her head, saying, "I don't know. I've been calling non-stop since a while ago, many times, but I can't get through at all."
Bai Xue's analysis had some merit, but Yang Haoran didn't completely agree. He had been to places with extremely heavy Yin Qi himself; poor signal was certainly true there, but it wouldn't be perpetually unreachable, unless they had reached an area beyond signal coverage.
Of course, there was another possibility: they could currently be within a forbidden barrier, and such a barrier would perfectly block phone signals.
Xiujuan looked at Yang Haoran. Seeing him deep in thought and silent, the worry on her face intensified.
The reason she was so worried, of course, was for Xiaokang.
"Lord Emissary, could something have happened? " Xiujuan asked, her face filled with concern.
It was no wonder she would ask such a question. Yang Haoran had returned to the villa wounded tonight and had also told them that something major had occurred; naturally, she connected the two events.
"It's not certain yet, but don't rush into worry. I'm here for everything. Even if I can't reach Old Master Wu by phone, I have other ways to find him."
Yang Haoran offered words of comfort to Xiujuan, then closed his eyes, his expression serious, as if he were sensing something.
A breath later, the Death God Seal manifested on Yang Haoran's brow. This Death God Seal, usually invisible to the naked eye, was now clearly apparent, emitting visible black Yin Qi.
Yang Haoran's action at this moment was to use the Death God Seal to sense the whereabouts of Old Master Wu and Xiaokang. After all, the Death God Seals within both of them originated from him. As long as they hadn't opened their Heaven Souls, he could use this method to pinpoint their exact location.
Once they opened their Heaven Souls, the Death God Seals within them would no longer be bound to him, and he would lose the ability to determine their location through this method. However, neither of them currently possessed the strength to open their Heaven Souls.
Using the Death God Seal for positioning was not as simple or convenient as making a phone call, as this method only confirmed location and allowed no communication. Hence, he usually didn't resort to it.
A moment later, Yang Haoran slowly opened his eyes, and the Yin Qi-emitting Death God Seal vanished and receded, becoming invisible to the naked eye once more.
"Lord Emissary, how is it? " Xiujuan asked, her face etched with anxiety.
Yang Haoran nodded, saying, "Don't worry too much. It's not a big problem. I already know their exact location. I'll head over now to check on them and bring them back."
Although Yang Haoran verbally dismissed it as "nothing," the three of them couldn't shake the feeling that the matter wasn't so simple.
"I'll go with you," Bai Xue quickly offered.
"I want to go too. " Xiujuan, worried that something might have happened to Xiaokang, also wanted to follow Yang Haoran to see.
"No need. Ye Zhiqiu is already injured, and the girl's strength is too weak. If both of you leave, our home might just get ransacked. Just guard the house. If anyone dares to cause trouble, deal with them ruthlessly. I'll be back soon."
Xiujuan and Bai Xue were a bit reluctant, but Yang Haoran's tone at that moment allowed for no argument. The two could only nod.
Having just returned home, Yang Haoran hadn't even had a chance to sit down or take a sip of water before he left the villa once more.
As he stepped out of the barrier, Ye Zhiqiu, lying on his bed, opened his eyes again, the doubt in them even more pronounced than before.
"What in the world is this guy up to? He comes back all wounded, and just a short while later, he's gone again? Could it be. . . could something truly significant have happened?"
Thinking this, Ye Zhiqiu hesitated for another moment before reluctantly sitting up from his bed.
He picked up the liquor flask from his bedside table, took a large swig, then ran a hand through his messy hair, unable to resist complaining aloud.
"Ever since I started following this guy, it feels like I haven't had a single peaceful day."
As his words fell, Ye Zhiqiu took another large gulp of liquor. He put down the flask, lit a cigarette, and took two deep drags before reluctantly getting out of bed. Dressed in his pajamas and slippers, a cigarette dangling from his lips, a sword in his left hand, and the liquor flask in his right, he weakly shuffled out of the bedroom. Moonlight Night God
