However, just as the two entered the ward, Qingyu happened to appear at the door.
Xie Wending had been keeping an eye on the doorway. As soon as he saw Qingyu, he immediately snorted coldly, his face showing obvious displeasure. "Where have you been?"
It wasn't that he genuinely cared about his younger sister, but rather that he always felt she was bringing him bad luck.
Meanwhile, Yuan Ling'er stared at Qingyu warily, her eyes filled with vigilance, but even more so with surprise.
As someone who practices metaphysics, she would subconsciously look at the other person's face, but now, facing Qingyu, she couldn't see anything about her at all!
Moreover, she felt suppressed by her own kind!
But how is that possible?! The spiritual energy in this world is scarce. Even if she is exceptionally talented, she can only exert less than one-tenth of her former abilities after transmigrating here.
How could anyone be better than her?!
Yuan Ling'er's expression revealed a hint of hostility. "And who is this?"
Despite their unfriendly attitude, Qingyu seemed completely unconcerned.
She glanced at the two of them briefly before turning her gaze to a corner of the ward.
With her keen senses, Qingyu detected a faint, sinister aura emanating from that corner. She knew that the evil cultivator hadn't given up and was still secretly plotting how to harm Xie Wending.
But how come Yuan Ling'er didn't notice anything at all?
"This is Qingyu, my adopted daughter," Xie's mother replied somewhat awkwardly.
Adopted daughter? Yuan Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then her expression became complicated. It seemed that there was such a person in her previous life, but wasn't she long gone?
Is it not time yet?
Unfortunately, she didn't pay much attention to the Xie family's past. After fighting demons with Xie Wending, she rarely returned to the Xie family and didn't know who this adopted daughter was.
But he's probably just an ordinary person, right?
Yuan Ling'er lowered her guard considerably and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, little sister, I am Yuan Ling'er."
Qingyu slightly raised her eyes, looking at Yuan Ling'er with a half-smile, without responding to her greeting.
This dismissive expression caused Yuan Ling'er's smile to fade, and she felt secretly annoyed.
What's wrong with this woman? How could she do this?
Xie Wending on the other end spoke impatiently: "What are you doing here?"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow. "You came to watch the fun, didn't you want me to come?"
"Who wants that? Just don't go out and cause trouble." Xie Wending chuckled, then, remembering something, looked at Yuan Ling'er, "Speaking of which, she comes from the mountains... I heard you've been studying some metaphysics lately? Maybe she understands it? After all, it's all feudal superstition."
His words were full of sarcasm, as if he didn't take Qingyu and the other person seriously at all.
However, Yuan Ling'er's mind was completely occupied by Xie Wending's words, "She understands too"...
What do you know?
Is Qingyu a practitioner of metaphysics?!
Yuan Ling'er's expression froze, her sharp gaze falling on Qingyu, but unfortunately, she couldn't discern anything from that ordinary face!
Just as she was about to speak, Qingyu looked back at her openly. Whether it was her imagination or not, her usually calm eyes seemed to become dazzling and captivating at this moment, giving her a jolt. Then she heard Qingyu say softly, "Your cultivation isn't particularly good, but surely you can see through this little problem?"
After saying that, Qingyu walked straight to the corner where the evil aura was emanating.
Yuan Ling'er's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened, and she blurted out instinctively, "What are you doing?"
Qingyu ignored her, made a hand seal, and a beam of spiritual light shot into the corner.
A scream was heard, and a dark figure appeared and fled.
Everyone was astonished. A cold wind seemed to blow through the room, and several people shivered.
Yuan Ling'er was even more incredulous; she hadn't noticed anything at all.
Qingyu looked at her with a mocking, condescending air, "You dare call yourself a scholar of metaphysics with such meager skills?"
Yuan Ling'er blushed and wanted to explain herself, but her mind was a complete mess.
This change really doesn't match up with her previous life, and she's a little confused.
Xie Wending and the others were shocked by what they had just witnessed. Coming to their senses, his expression shifted as he scrutinized Qingyu. "Who exactly are you? You...you actually know how?"
Even before meeting the old man, Xie Wending had believed that such extraordinary things existed in the world, and what he had just said was merely a deliberate attempt to provoke Yuan Ling'er and Qingyu.
Qingyu replied leisurely, "Oh, it's just feudal superstition."
After that, he turned around and left.
Mother Xie quickly grabbed her, exclaiming, "What a joke! This is someone with real skills! We can't let her go!"
"Qingyu, don't be angry, your brother is just talking nonsense." She said, glaring at Xie Wending as she spoke, implying something.
Xie Wending's face turned pale and then red, and he finally managed to choke out, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Qingyu glanced at Xie's mother with a cold look that chilled Xie's mother to the bone.
"What are you saying? My relationship with your family is nothing more than mutual exploitation."
The original owner's fate was indeed auspicious for the Xie family, because her life ultimately saved Xie Wending, and the Xie family did indeed provide the original owner with a place to stay. It's just that the original owner was destined to face this calamity, which she did not overcome.
These words were ruthless and tore away the Xie family's fig leaf. Xie's mother felt a little embarrassed and remained silent.
No one spoke in the room. Yuan Ling'er, who was standing next to her, bit her lower lip and stared intently at Qingyu. She was determined to find out Qingyu's background. She would not allow anyone to stand between her and Xie Wending.
Qingyu seemed to see through her thoughts, and a barely perceptible cold smile appeared on her lips.
Her purpose in coming here was to provoke the female lead and watch the drama unfold.
Now that her goal had been achieved, Qingyu didn't want to linger any longer. She'd rather find a way to expose this evil cultivator hiding in the shadows.
It's said that this merit is considerable, and it also accomplishes what the female lead couldn't do in her previous life. Just thinking about it is quite exciting.
A moment later, Qingyu casually made an excuse to say goodbye to Xie Wending and Yuan Ling'er, and then quickly left the ward.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she followed the faint clues left by the evil aura.
Yuan Ling'er, who was left in the ward, felt that Qingyu's behavior was rather strange when she saw her leave in such a hurry, and she was extremely unwilling to accept it.
When Qingyu made her move, she felt a hidden sense of loss and panic, as if she had lost something.
This made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
After some thought, Yuan Ling'er finally couldn't suppress her unease any longer. She gritted her teeth and cautiously followed...
Qingyu sensed someone following her and a cold smile appeared on her lips, but she didn't say anything and continued to follow the evil aura.
The evil aura seemed to be alert, its presence appearing and disappearing intermittently.
As Yuan Ling'er followed Qingyu through a maze of twists and turns, she grew increasingly puzzled. Why was this route so strange?
Suddenly, Qingyu stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse, which was dark and gloomy inside.
Even with her current low cultivation level, Yuan Ling'er could tell that something was wrong here. She hid in the corner, barely daring to breathe, her eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
