After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 32

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

An Jiuxi felt that her plan to become an advisor at the Special Administration Bureau was probably going to fall through.

Fortunately, she hadn't had a chance to mention it yet.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

In the silence, a staff member from the Special Administration Bureau rushed out.

"Captain White, that blood corpse is gone."

An Jiuxi suddenly looked up at the person who had spoken.

The man was startled by her sharp gaze and nearly fell over due to sudden braking.

An Jiuxi: "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"

She had just put it in properly, and it had only been about five minutes. She could still sense the presence of her talisman, so how could it have disappeared?

The employee scratched the back of his head. "The blood corpse was no ordinary creature. We dared not dispose of it casually, so we wanted to put it in a specially made cage. But when we found the cage, the blood corpse had disappeared."

"A specially made cage?"

Bai Pu explained, "It was personally crafted by the bureau chief, specifically for imprisoning these kinds of evil spirits. It has magic arrays carved on it to suppress the evil energy emanating from these things."

An Jiuxi understood; it was probably similar to the jade gourd her master had given her for collecting ghosts.

Even so, it shouldn't be to the point of disappearing.

"Take me to see it."

Bai Pu quickly had someone lead the way.

The group entered the Special Administration Bureau. In the huge courtyard, several people were so eager to dig up every inch of the ground in order to find the whereabouts of the blood corpse.

"The blood corpse disappeared right here."

The employee who came out to report the incident pointed to a piece of land in the middle of the yard.

The square floor tiles still faintly retain the malevolent aura of the blood-soaked corpse.

An Jiuxi walked around the brick, frowning. "It's a teleportation talisman!"

"A teleportation talisman?" Yuan Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise. "How is this possible? This kind of talisman has been lost for a long time!"

An Jiuxi: "Lost? Who said that? I can draw it!"

Yuan Xiaofei, “…”

He was genuinely shocked by the news.

Which reclusive family does this Miss An come from? She even knows how to use a teleportation talisman!

He rubbed his hands together. "Fellow Daoist An, ah, no, Senior An..."

"Stop!" An Jiuxi rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. "Don't call me that. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

In the Taoist tradition, seniority is paramount.

People a few years older than her call her senior.

She doesn't want to shorten her lifespan!

Yuan Xiaofei instantly grinned from ear to ear, "Really? Really?"

“Hmm.” An Jiuxi didn’t take it seriously.

My master said that in this day and age, the Taoist sect is in decline.

As members of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), we should support each other even more.

Although I don't know why they can't even draw teleportation talismans, they're not that complicated, so teaching them wouldn't be a problem.

Bai Pu was more composed than Yuan Xiaofei, but he was also incredibly excited.

He stared intently at An Jiuxi, then clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

"I will forever remember your great kindness, Fellow Daoist An. If you ever need my help in the future, please just let me know. I will go through fire and water for you."

An Jiuxi waved her hand, as if to say it wasn't that serious.

It's just a talisman.

But just as she was about to speak, she received a suggestive look from Jin Yize.

The words that were about to come out were, "Let's talk about it later."

Those in the Taoist school are most averse to cause and effect, so they always keep their word and do not make promises lightly.

Once you've said it, you'll definitely do it.

An Jiuxi was like this, and so was Bai Pu.

"It's my fault. I didn't expect them to have placed a teleportation talisman on the blood corpse. I was careless!"

That's true. There's no reason to give up on something that's been crafted with so much effort.

It was because she lacked experience and underestimated her opponent.
