The Change
"Yes, he is called Chou Shitong. However, no one calls him by his name. Everyone calls him 'Sorrowful Ghost'. Have you seen him before?" Hearing what he said, Xiao Na immediately raised her head and asked.
"It's him!" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes. He had not only seen him before. He was a mortal enemy.
"Sorrowful Ghost?" Thinking about those Sky-ghosts and devils caught on the Ghostly Mother Banner, this nickname was really worthy of the name.
Moreover, from the incident, Xiao Yi realized that even though he had captured two of his Sky-ghosts that day, he had imperceptibly placed many children in danger.
If he didn't get rid of the evil cultivator, the children born in the extreme Yin would be in more danger.
Who knew? He really had to go and meet that Sorrowful Ghost.
"Do you know where your master Sorrowful Ghost is now?" Xiao Yi frowned and asked.
"I don't know. He seems to be an important figure in the Yinfeng Sect. How can I know his whereabouts?" Xiao Na shook her head and replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and didn't say anything to Xiao Na. Instead, he turned around and walked to the two babies that Xiao Na had thrown away in the corner.
The two children, who had already been hit in the acupoints by Xiao Na's master, were groggy and sleepy. They were also lucky. Under this fierce fight, the two children were unhurt. They deserved to be born at a time of extreme Yin.
Xiao Yi displayed Yama Finger technique, unlocked their acupoints, and held them in his hands.
He couldn't help but look at Yu Ziman beside him.
Surprisingly, Yu Ziman had not exclaimed since Xiao Na came in. Generally speaking, when ordinary people saw this thrilling scene today, they would be scared half to death. However, Yu Ziman was unusually strong. Although her face was pale, she still held the two children tightly in her arms. Her eyes were empty, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Ziman, are you alright?" Xiao Yi walked forward and asked in a low voice.
"Ah, I'm fine," Yu Ziman answered immediately, as if she had just woken up from a dream. Her gaze was a little fleeting, but she immediately asked, "Can we go back? The parents of these babies must be worried to death."
"Yes, let's hurry back. After we go back, I'll tell you more," said Xiao Yi.
"Yes, I know." Yu Ziman nodded obediently and followed behind Xiao Yi, walking out of the cave.
However, at the moment when they were about to leave the cave, Yu Ziman inexplicably looked back in the direction of the altar. Even she didn't know that there was a strange red flash in her eyes.
Just like that, Xiao Yi and Yu Ziman carried two babies each and walked towards the outside of the Wanning Garden.
Xiao Na, on the other hand, followed closely behind Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi stopped and turned back to Xiao Na and said, "Xiao Na, if you want me to help you, you can't use your evil skills anymore."
"You don't need to tell me that. As long as you promise to save my mother, I will dispel my Internal Strength on my own." Xiao Na said with a resolute look. While speaking, she gritted her teeth and was about to dispel all the evil power in her body.
However, Xiao Yi raised his hand, and a streak of True Energy shot out, aiming at Xiao Na's lower abdomen's Elixir Field.
Xiao Na, who was about to disperse her Internal Strength, felt that her whole body was stagnant, and she couldn't move anymore. Not only that but the interior of her Elixir Field was also filled with a ball of warm current. In an instant, it dispelled the little bit of cold evil Qi within her Elixir Field. Then it rushed towards her four limbs. The cold evil Qi in her entire body was instantly dissolved.
"Ah!" Xiao Na was shocked to feel the changes in her body. This feeling was like that of a dusty room, which was cleaned up in an instant and sprinkled into the room by the sun.
The evil power that had been absorbed from half a year's practice had disappeared completely. Instead, it was replaced by a warm and vigorous True Energy that filled her body.
This completely stunned Xiao Na.
"A butcher becomes Buddha the moment he drops his cleaver. In order to save your mother, you are willing to undo your cultivation and hurt yourself. This kind of good intention is enough to give you this benefit. When you return to the city, go back to the Xiao family and reflect on yourself. After you change your mind, come find me." Xiao Yi said coldly.
Hearing this, Xiao Na's chest rose and fell rapidly. She completely realized that she had gotten a great benefit. What Xiao Yi had given her was something authentic from the cultivators' sects. In addition, Xiao Na also realized that Xiao Yi's cultivation had already reached an unfathomable level. He could kill her with a flip of his hand and give her life with his other hand.
If one person in the world could save her mother, then there would only be Xiao Yi.
Thinking of this, Xiao Na fell to her knees again and said loudly, "I understand. I will listen to everything you say."
After that, she banged her head on the ground.
But this time, Xiao Yi didn't stop Xiao Na. This bow was not just about kneeling down to him but more about kneeling down to the Great Tao, returning to the right path, and surviving in a hopeless situation. This opportunity was even rarer than a proper and smooth path to stepping into the Great Tao. She should bow her head.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything else but pulled Yu Ziman, carried the child, got in the car, and went in the direction of Hai City.
Xiao Na did not stop kowtowing until Xiao Yi's car had gone far away. Her forehead was red and swollen, but her heart had endless hope. She stood up, mobilized her True Energy, and suddenly jumped down. Her cultivation was now much better than usual.
It must be because Xiao Na's cultivation was so low that Xiao Yi could give her endless benefits easily.
Xiao Na was overjoyed. After a few jumps, she jumped to the foot of the mountain and followed Xiao Yi's instructions, heading back to the Xiao family in Hai City. Although it was getting dark on the road, Xiao Na felt that it was full of sunshine everywhere.
The joy of being reborn and the joy of finding a direction finally filled Xiao Na's heart. It made her unable to hold back her desire to cry out loud and fly freely.
At this moment, Xiao Yi and Yu Ziman had already arrived in Hai City. They drove straight to the Public Security Bureau.
At this moment, the Bureau was already in a mess. The four newborn baby girls mysteriously disappeared overnight without any clues. Although no one said anything, everyone could smell a strange breath from this case.
Everyone was perturbed, but they had to think of a strategy to deal with this.
However, what good ideas did they have for this kind of strange case? Everyone was thinking too much, and there was no progress in the case.
Who knew that while they were at their wit's end, Xiao Yi and Yu Ziman appeared with four missing children?
This was a true joy from the heavens. However, there were also some people who were confused. How did Xiao Yi find the children? Where was the suspect? What was the relationship between Xiao Yi and the suspect? Was there any suspicion of an accomplice?
Xiao Yi didn't have the time to explain these things to them. With a wave of his hand, he displayed the medal of his Special Operations Group.
"Special Operations Group?" When everyone in the bureau saw this thing, even if they had 100 questions in their hearts, they did not dare to ask again.
They thanked Xiao Yi and accepted the children quickly and informed the grief-stricken parents. Then, they found a reasonable excuse to cooperate with the hospitals and appropriately compensated the families. Finally, the case was over.
As for Xiao Yi, he drove Yu Ziman directly to the Xiangjiang House.
When the car arrived downstairs, Xiao Yi looked at the window in Yu Ziman's bedroom and couldn't help thinking of the embarrassing and romantic scene he experienced at the night when he sent Yu Ziman home for the first time.
He turned around and looked at Ziman, but she was surprisingly quiet. She had furrowed her brows all the way, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Ziman, don't you want me to come in and have a seat?" Xiao Yi turned around and said to her with a smile.
"Oh, don't tell me you don't plan to go in?" After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Yu Ziman finally came to her senses and said with a smile.
The smile was still brilliant and beautiful, which dispelled the haze in Xiao Yi's heart for a whole day.
Both of them got off the car and went into Yu Ziman's house.
The heating in the house was in full swing. Yu Ziman took off her thick jacket and showed her impressive figure.
However, Xiao Yi discovered that Yu Ziman had lost a lot of weight. Although she was still curvy, she was already exceptionally thin compared to the scene he remembered when they first met.
Yu Ziman, however, did not notice Xiao Yi's gaze. She took a deep breath and asked Xiao Yi with a smile, "What do you want to drink?"
"Nothing, thanks. Please take a seat. There are some things that I should tell you." Xiao Yi sat down on the sofa. His handsome face slightly frowned. It seemed that he was thinking about how to speak to Yu Ziman. Once he started, how much could he say?
Yu Ziman's face also became serious, and she sat opposite to Xiao Yi. She took off her glasses, rubbed her eyebrows, took a deep breath, and said, "Go ahead."
"Ziman, I'm a cultivator!" Xiao Yi looked directly into Yu Ziman's eyes and said directly.
"Yes." Yu Ziman's body trembled slightly and he nodded.
Xiao Yi continued to say, "What you saw today, you may also know that many things in this world are not what everyone usually thinks. We are a group of people who go against the will of heaven and compete with the will of heaven. There are many rules in the process, different from the secular world. Of course, there are also some similarities with the secular world. Among these people, there are also good and evil."
However, before Xiao Yi could finish, Yu Ziman interrupted him. She raised her head and asked, "Does Shu Wan know this?"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, but he nodded his head. "She does. Furthermore, she has already started her cultivation."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Yu Ziman's face darkened in an instant. She bit her lip slightly, and her heart was filled with grief and loss.
Xiao Yi was right in front of her, but Yu Ziman felt that he was far away.
Although in that poor small village, she had once embraced and had a deep kiss with him, and he had also promised to accompany her for the rest of her life, in his heart, what was she? If it weren't for the incident of the disappearance of babies, perhaps she would never be able to understand his real side.
Her love for him was too humble.
As for Shu Wan, she should have known it from the very beginning, shouldn't she? She was her best friend, but she didn't know that she had already begun to cultivate.
A feeling of self-requited and self-pity emerged in her heart uncontrollably.
Thinking again, since she separated from Xiao Yi, she had suffered from the pain of longing. She had lost nearly 20 pounds in two months, and she almost never slept well. Yu Ziman's eyes turned red, and tears fell down without warning.
