C7 There Were too Many Questions

Jiang Louyue looked at Caisang thoughtfully. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with gentleness and pain.

"What is that thing?" Tonghua asked.

"I don't know. I only vaguely saw a huge formation under the water. At that time, the situation was critical. I didn't have time to take a look and didn't know what the formation was for." Caisang shook his head and said, "But I vaguely felt that the murder case was related to the evil ghosts under the river."

"There are too many suspicious points." The wrinkles between Tonghua's brows deepened. "I arrived at Qujiang before you guys and checked the surroundings. The first place that I went to was the river, but there was no resentment there. I want to go and take a look first before making a conclusion."

After saying that, Tonghua left directly. Hu Shisan was completely lost in thought when he saw him leave. He suddenly saw him leave and also sat down subconsciously. "Immortal Elder?!"

Seeing that Caisang and the others were still sitting there, Hu Shisan sat down again and asked, "Immortal Elders, aren't we going to take a look?"

"Go." Yan Tine stood up with the help of the table and said, "Let's go together."

"Alright, I'll get the servants to prepare a car." Hu Shisan scurried out like a rabbit.

"Let's go too." Caisang thought for a while and stood up as well. Suddenly, his finger was grabbed by someone.

She turned around and looked at Jiang Louyue, who was staring straight at her. She asked, "You seem to have something on your mind. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Caisang wanted to retract her hand, but she didn't realize that her face was still a little pale.

"What kind of illusion did you see in the river? Was it very scary?" Jiang Louyue asked. Caisang took a step back with a face full of wariness.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Jiang Louyue did not continue to ask.

She patted Caisang's head lightly and smiled as she said, "No matter what it is, I'm always by your side. I won't let Jiaojiao get into any danger. Don't be afraid, okay?"

Caisang lowered her head. Her face turned even paler, but her eyes were still red.

The ghost's voice was still echoing in her head like a sharp knife.

"Caisang, your parents are watching from the bottom of the spring. Are you feeling at ease? Caisang! Are you feeling at ease?"

Caisang took a step back and pulled her hand away from Jiang Louyue's hand. She then said, "Let's go over first."

When they arrived, Tonghua was standing by the riverbank, preparing to enter the water.

"This old bastard is so anxious that he looks like he's asking for his life," Jiang Louyue muttered and then turned to look at Caisang. "Jiaojiao, you and Yan Ting stay by the shore. I'll go down with him to take a look."

"Me too." Caisang wanted to go, but Jiang Louyue stopped her.

"You are afraid of the things in the water. If something dangerous happens, you won't have time to deal with it." Jiang Louyue's voice was very gentle.

After saying that, he took the Water Repelling Talisman and walked forward. With a tap of his toes, he leaped a few feet away and landed right above the Corpse Burial Array.

Hu Shisan squeezed in the middle of Caisang and Yan Ting and said in a low voice, "Will they encounter any danger down there?"

"No." Yan Ting covered his mouth with his hand and coughed twice. After catching his breath, he said, "I didn't sense any resentment. There shouldn't be any danger down there."

"There's something wrong." Yan Ting's words instantly woke up Caisang. After coming here, she couldn't sense any resentment at all.

She muttered something and the pendant on her neck flashed. The two people holding the black umbrella knelt in front of Caisang. Her expression instantly changed.

At this moment, the waves on the surface of the river spread out. Two figures emerged from the water one after the other. Their expressions were very solemn.

"How is it?!" Hu Shisan asked anxiously.

Jiang Louyue shook her head and said, "There is nothing underwater. We didn't find any corpses or formations."

"Did we find the wrong place?" Yan Ting also asked.

Jiang Louyue looked at Caisang and said, "We've searched for a long time, but we still didn't see anything. Those things disappeared into thin air. Perhaps someone used a technique to cover up the traces of the corpses, so they don't want us to find anything."

The surrounding people were silent. Until now, that thing was nowhere to be found and could not be tracked. They didn't even know what the culprit was.

After entering Qujiang, other than the Caiang from last night, they couldn't even sense the ghostly aura and resentment.

The wrinkles between Tonghua's brows increased. After so many years in the industry, this was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome matter that he couldn't even figure it out.

It was just dawn when someone came to set up the colorful lanterns. There were small vendors on the side of the road who had taken the best spots.

The murderous devil had killed seven people in a row, and it didn't seem to affect the enthusiasm of these people towards the Thousand Faces Festival at all.

Tonghua thought for a while and said, "Young Master Hu, come home with me. Give me the Thousand Faces that you used to show off at the Thousand Faces Festival this time. I will make sure that their tracks won't leave my control."

"Jiang Louyue, draw the Exorcism Talisman along the way and set up the Exorcism Suppression in this area so that there won't be any mistakes in the future."

"Don't give me orders to do anything." Jiang Louyue retorted coldly.

"Jiang Louyue!" Caiang called out in a low voice, then pulled on his sleeve. Jiang Louyue immediately became like a pufferfish that had vented its anger, "I know, leave this to me."

"Young Master Jiang, if you need anything, I will get the servants to buy it for you." Hu Shisan bowed.

Jiang Louyue gave him a few items and he hurriedly went out to buy them. Jiang Louyue narrowed his eyes and looked at his back as he hurriedly left. He muttered, "Why bother? It's useless anyway."

The voice was very soft, but Caisang still heard it.

She raised her head in surprise. Jiang Louyue was still the same Jiang Louyue, but something seemed to have changed.

The carefree and unrestrained expression before she fainted was completely wiped away by the fifteen days of unconsciousness. What was left was exhaustion and the vicissitudes of life.

"Jiaojiao, let's eat some breakfast." Jiang Louyue suddenly turned his head and met Caisang's gaze. Jiang Louyue acted as if he didn't hear it, but Caisang felt a little uneasy and shifted his gaze.

"No need, I'm not hungry. Besides, we have to hurry up …"

Before Caisang could finish his words, his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. The warmth on the other party's fingers warmed her fingertips.

"I'm hungry. Jiaojiao, there is a breakfast shop in Thousand Faces. It should be open now. You will definitely like it."

Jiang Louyue dragged her forward without saying anything. He didn't care what Caisang said. Caisang's footsteps were a little staggering before he could barely keep up with Jiang Louyue.

"Go, go. Why are you walking so fast?" Caisang frowned. He wanted to shake off Jiang Louyue's hand, but he held it very tightly and couldn't shake it off at all.

Jiang Louyue pulled her and turned a corner. "I was just in a hurry. Their scallion oil beef buns have to be served early. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat it."

Jiang Louyue was a little absent-minded as he led Caisang inside. He turned his head and looked back. Coincidentally, a young master in white passed by the alley. It was April, and that person didn't mind the cold. He held a golden folding fan in his hand. His profile flashed by, and his appearance couldn't be seen clearly.

Jiang Louyue heaved a sigh of relief and calmed his heart down. He slowed down and said in a lively voice, "Jiaojiao, let's go quickly. If we're late, we won't be able to eat anything."

"Oh, okay …" Caisang turned around and looked at the alley. There were people coming and going, but he couldn't tell who he was avoiding.
