After school, the six students in the dormitory sat in a teahouse, with Mingchen, dressed casually, sitting opposite them.

There were few people in the teahouse, making it convenient for a few people to talk.

"Why is the monk looking at me like that?" From the classroom to here, Mingchen had been staring at Li Lian.

After sitting down, Li Lian voiced her doubts.

Mingchen pursed his lips, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

"I wonder if you feel unwell?" Ming Chen felt slightly uncomfortable as soon as he got close to Li Lian. He wondered if it was because Li Lian was pregnant with a ghost child.

Li Lian shook her head in confusion, feeling somewhat nervous at the same time.

"Did the monk see something?"

"Perhaps I'm seeing things." Seeing Li Lian's expression, Ming Chen stopped pressing the matter and changed the subject. "This isn't a temple, so please just call me by my Buddhist name."

Lin Jingyi knew Mingchen's concerns. In the past few days, she had noticed that there was a dark mass in Li Lian's abdomen that was slowly growing larger.

"Um... how did Mingchen get into our school?" Sun Fangfang asked timidly from the side.

"I have my own way of dealing with this, so you don't need to worry. I wonder, what's the situation on your end now?" Ming Chen mainly wanted to know if the Ghost King would still be bothering them.

In her previous life, tonight would have been the night Sun Fangfang met her end.

"There are no more strange occurrences involving sorcerers in our dormitory now, thank you Master Mingchen." Lu Zi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm here," Lin Jingyi added.

"That's good."

"Could the mage give us some amulets? I'm willing to buy them." Yang Wei poked her head out and asked Ming Chen. Although she had the amulets Cheng Xue had given her, she didn't think Cheng Xue was more powerful than a mage.

Ming Chen glanced at Lin Jingyi, and after Lin Jingyi nodded, he took out several yellow talismans folded into triangles from his bag and handed them to the group.

He did not believe that his spells were as powerful as Cheng Xue's.

Ming Chen was very happy to have Lin Jingyi's help this time; otherwise, with his abilities, he might not have been a match for that ghost fetus.

The other girls pestered Mingchen for some methods to exorcise ghosts, but all they got were things that everyone knew about, like using peach wood and black dog blood.

After chatting for a while, the group prepared to leave. Lin Jingyi remained seated and addressed the young women:

"You guys go back first, I still have some questions to ask my 'master'."

"OK, goodbye, Master Mingchen."

Mingchen smiled and nodded, watching the group leave.

"I don't know where Nie Juntao has been these past few days. We haven't seen him since the night we got back. I wonder what big move he's planning. I think we should find Nie Juntao first."

As soon as the group left, Lin Jingyi turned around and said something to Ming Chen.

"Okay, I'll figure something out." He will find the Ghost King.

Their biggest threat right now is Nie Juntao. The culprit hasn't been born yet, so he's relatively easy to deal with. The most urgent task is to get rid of Nie Juntao first.

It's unclear whether it was because of Lin Jingyi's arrival, but in their previous life, Nie Juntao and Li Lian had already fallen in love with each other, and Li Lian had moved out of the dormitory.

Now, Li Lian feels more fear towards Nie Juntao.

"Mingchen, you might want to look into a man named Tang Tian. He's the president of the Tang Group." Nie Juntao hadn't been seen for two weeks, and he hadn't made any moves.

Lin Jingyi then remembered that when Li Lian moved out of the dormitory, it was Nie Juntao who possessed Tang Tian's body and used Tang Tian's wealth and power to keep Li Lian outside.

Upon hearing this, Mingchen's eyes lit up. In his previous life, Tang Tian's body was possessed by Nie Juntao, and his soul was eventually devoured by Nie Juntao. He might not have possessed anyone yet, so he had to protect him.

Lin Jingyi believes that Nie Juntao has possessed Tang Tian, ​​because only by becoming a 'human' can one be fearless of the sun and move forward freely.

Perhaps he thinks that possessing her will make him unafraid of her merits, who knows?

Lin Jingyi did not voice her guess, lest she be wrong and miss the chance to save a life.

"In that case, this humble monk will take his leave."

Since it involved a life, Ming Chen quickly stood up and said goodbye to Lin Jingyi.

Lin Jingyi nodded and watched Mingchen leave.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Nie Juntao, possessing Tang Tian, ​​had perhaps already begun.

She's been busy with classes and cultivation lately and hasn't thought much about the plot.

Sensing that the mental imprint he had left on Li Lian had not returned to school, Lin Jingyi frowned, wondering what Li Lian was up to.

After finishing his tea in one gulp, Lin Jingyi got up and walked towards Li Lian's direction.

Soon, Lin Jingyi arrived at the entrance of a five-star restaurant.

Given Li Lian's family background, it would be impossible for her to be in such a high-end restaurant.

Lin Jingyi had just stepped inside when he was stopped by a waiter at the door.

"Hello, miss, do you have a reservation?" the waiter asked politely.

But his eyes were sizing up Lin Jingyi with disdain, thinking that the newcomer's attire made him look like someone who wasn't rich.

However, remembering that the young lady who had just gone in was also dressed plainly but was led in by a VIP of the restaurant, the waiter put away his ulterior motives.

Lin Jingyi released his divine sense and found Li Lian's location. At the same time, he also saw the man sitting next to Li Lian. Perhaps sensing that someone was watching them, the man even glanced in the direction of Lin Jingyi's divine sense.

"I'm looking for my friend. She's in VIP room A on the third floor with a man named Tang Tian."

Lin Jingyi looked confident and certain.

The waiter recognized Tang Tian, ​​and seeing that Lin Jingyi had even mentioned his private room and looked so confident, the waiter became respectful.

"Miss, please allow us to ask Mr. Tang." Although the two waiters' attitude had changed, they still dared not let Lin Jingyi into the private room easily, but instead wanted to lead her into the lobby to wait.

Wouldn't asking questions expose him? But Lin Jing was confident he could get in.

“Okay, tell them my name is Cheng Xue.” Lin Jingyi smiled.

I sat on the sofa the waiter pointed out and waited quietly.

A little while later, someone brought her a cup of tea.

Meanwhile, inside VIP room A on the third floor.

Tang Tian was explaining the dishes to Li Lian when he suddenly felt an eye watching them from the shadows, but he couldn't find the source.

Even after the feeling of being spied on disappeared, 'Tang Tian' did not let his guard down.

"Dong dong dong..."

A moment later, a knock came at the door, along with the voice of a waiter.

"Mr. Tang, there is a woman outside who claims to be a friend of yours and your friend's, named Cheng Xue. Would it be convenient for her to come in?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Tian frowned slightly, his thin lips pursed, and he fell into deep thought as he recalled the strange energy emanating from that woman that night. His hands, which were under the table, unconsciously clenched into fists.

Although Li Lian was a little puzzled, she still said to Tang Tian, ​​"Brother Tang Tian, ​​Cheng Xue is my friend. Can I let her in?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Tian snapped out of his reverie, a beautiful smile curving his lips. He slowly relaxed his clenched fist and placed his hand over Li Lian's.

"Since Lian'er wishes, then let her in."
