Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

Nangong Qinghe notified the Xuanling Group to send people to deal with a large number of vengeful spirits.

The vengeful spirits were weak, but their large numbers made them difficult to deal with. The Xuanling Group had to send almost all of its personnel to deal with them.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain fully confessed to the crime, but refused to plead guilty.

They showed no remorse for the evil they had committed. To them, it was perfectly normal for a woman to give birth to a son; they did not consider it a crime.

Even if women are trafficked... it is considered that they were bought with money, and that their demands are reasonable.

The Xuanling Group was shocked when they learned of the situation here.

They've encountered many strange and bad cases, but it's extremely rare to encounter one on such a large scale, especially one that's man-made.

Moreover, the strange tale of unruly villagers leaving their villages in such remote and impoverished areas is quite unheard of.

Ultimately, the Xuanling Group established a case-handling team in Hehuan Village to investigate the matter.

After the incident was over, Nangong Qinghe drove Nangong Qian and the others down the mountain.

Inside the car, Nangong Qian dozed off in a daze, occasionally waking up to glance around and see Nangong Qinghe sitting in the passenger seat before settling back to sleep peacefully.

Qiao Feng sat quietly behind the driver, not daring to make a sound, like a quail.

Yu Manwen has been sent back.

Nangong Qinghe gave Qiao Feng plenty of face. After only a few people were left in the car, she glanced at Qiao Feng in the rearview mirror before slowly asking, "Is the Ferrari comfortable to drive?"

Qiao Feng's drowsiness vanished instantly, and he became fully awake.

"!??"

What does your brother mean by that?

He subconsciously sat up straight, thought for a moment, and then weakly said, "Big brother, if you like, I can open it for you."

The clueless man then remembered that his older brother didn't use secondhand goods, and quickly added, "No, no, brother, I'll buy you a new one."

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Nangong Qinghe's face was getting darker and darker.

The shadows cast by the trees under the streetlights reflected on his face, revealing a unique expression.

After a long while, there was a slight movement inside the car.

Nangong Qinghe sighed deeply, seemingly expressing her helplessness towards Qiao Feng.

She didn't inherit a single gene from the Nangong family.

Nangong Qinghe thought of her aunt, and then her expression instantly became clear: her aunt was a fool too…

He immediately decided to stop beating around the bush with Qiao Feng and said directly, "When you go back this time, don't go back to the Qiao family. Call your aunt and express your wishes, saying that you like to stay at our house and need to stay for two months before you can go back."

His next sentence was delivered with a very heavy tone.

The clueless guy, however, understood it to mean something else entirely: his older brother hadn't scolded him because his offer to give him a Ferrari had worked!

Happy!

I'll buy it for my older brother when I get back; I've run out of pocket money!

"!!!"

Let's save up and buy it later!

His tone immediately returned to normal, and he spoke with much more ease. He leaned forward, hugging the chair, and said, "Brother, I'll call Mom back now, but I lost my phone. Can I borrow yours for a moment?"

Nangong Qinghe was puzzled. When did he become so enthusiastic about training?

After Qiao Feng answered the phone, he happily opened his mother's number, only to hear her wailing and cursing, a mixture of heartache and anger.

Nangong Shuyu kept talking on and on, showing no sign of hanging up.

"Let's make a long story short!"

Nangong Qinghe signaled Qiao Feng to finish speaking and then hung up the phone!

His aunt was really annoying, which was why he hadn't informed her; he simply didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"You do have a good sense of self-awareness."

Nangong Qinghe snorted coldly.

"Huh? What are you talking about, brother?"

Qiao Feng had a completely naive expression on his face, utterly unaware of what was about to happen to him. He simply thought that, as before, he could live a carefree life at his uncle's house without anyone bothering him.

His mother will never nag him anymore!

"..." Nangong Qinghe was speechless.

Turns out he wasn't being enthusiastic, he just didn't understand! He's completely naive; we need to make sure Qianqian plays with him less in the future.

Being stupid is contagious.

"Once we return to the Nangong family, you will train with me."

Qiao Feng's smile froze instantly. "W-what? Drills!!"

The voice was almost shouted.

The sky has fallen!

Nangong Qinghe's training...

Nangong Qian was startled awake, her forehead covered in cold sweat, as if she had been awakened by a terrifying nightmare.

While driving, Nangong Qinghe glanced at Nangong Qian with some concern, "Qianqian, what's wrong?"

Nangong Qian calmed herself down before speaking, "Big brother, I almost died in my dream! I... I'm a little scared!"

Her gaze was fixed on the front of the car, her expression dazed.

Her vulnerable state was laid bare in front of her family, and even Qiao Feng, seeing this, lowered his head in guilt.

He's the one who ruined Sisi!

Nangong Qinghe remained calm on the surface, but her heart was overflowing with heartache. The little princess, who was loved by the whole family, had experienced an unimaginable crisis.

He was well aware of the dangers of the forbidden mountain.

He didn't show it on his face, but he glanced at Qiao Feng again with displeasure.

Upon seeing his bruised and swollen face, Nangong Qinghe's anger immediately dissipated...

"..."

Even he couldn't help but marvel at his sister's incredible luck; even the notoriously dangerous Forbidden Mountain hadn't seriously injured her.

This kid has suffered a lot.

“Sisi, everything that happened inside, you should treat it as a dream from now on, and you don’t need to remember it anymore.”

As the older brother, he didn't want his younger sister to be involved in this dangerous and unknown world.

Once you step inside, there are countless dangers.

The more you know, the greater the risk you take.

As a member of the Xuanling Group, he also had to fulfill his duty to warn the general public to forget about this matter.

They signed a confidentiality agreement, promising never to discuss the paranormal events they had experienced.

"But brother, this is not a dream at all. They live vividly in my mind, including this key!"

Nangong Qian held out the Ferrari key.

Seeing this, Qiao Feng dared not speak, feeling almost overwhelmed by shame.

"And there's a big shot, she said she'd come looking for me."

"Big Boss?" This was the second time Nangong Qinghe had heard Nangong Qian mention this person, and she was puzzled.

Nangong Qian smiled when she thought of Jing Li, "Big brother, you don't know, I would have died if it weren't for her. She saved me."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, recounting how the powerful figure had helped her, like pouring out potatoes.

"That boss is amazing! She can even use my merits to turn into chains, and I can see those chains. They can even lock up vengeful ghosts! She's incredible!"

Nangong Qian gestured with her hands, her eyes filled with admiration.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qinghe's calm demeanor immediately changed, and her merits transformed into chains.

Is this how it's done?

How can one see the merits in others?

Fortune can be foreseen, but merit is an illusory and ethereal thing, so how can it be used?
