Who could it be?
"Boss, this is up to you. You need to find out who is behind this," Old Master Huo said, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Yes, this needs to be investigated. The Huo Family is a prominent family in the capital, one of the Nine Great Families, and has ties with the Lin Family through marriage. Although they may not be good at exorcising spirits, a simple investigation should be manageable."
"By the way, Grandma Huo, I set up this Golden Curtain that can nourish the souls and maintain them for a short while. You all should stay inside the Golden Curtain as much as possible to recover your bodies."
"Oh wow, that's amazing!"
Several old Taoists were surprised upon hearing this. "Little Daoist, may I ask who your master is?" One of the old Taoists raised his chin, looking at her with an inquisitive expression.
"Dao Master, I am not from the Xuanmen or Zhong Ren sects."
"Then can you teach them this technique?" The old Taoist began to ask, but before he could finish, Yan Kongyue interrupted him.
"This isn't even a technique!" Yan Kongyue crossed her arms in front of her chest, leaning slightly back in a defensive and rejecting posture.
"May I ask a bold question?"
"If you know it's bold, why still ask?" Yan Kongyue turned to leave.
The old Taoist reached out to grab her, but a figure stepped in front of Yan Kongyue—it was Lin Qian.
"Dao Master, your actions are inappropriate!"
"Uh heh heh heh, little Daoist has such abilities that benefit humanity; it should be widely promoted."
"Why should it?" Lin Qian was clearly displeased.
The old Taoist was momentarily at a loss for words: "Uh, those who cultivate should subdue demons and defend the heavenly path."
"I already said I'm different from you. Besides, whether or not I defend the heavenly path is my business—who do you think you are?" Yan Kongyue shot a sidelong glance at the old Taoist who spoke.
"Huh? How can you speak so disrespectfully?"
"Disrespectful? What’s wrong? Are you trying to bite back because you covet me?"
"Who? Who covets you? Besides, Daoism has no boundaries; for the sake of the world, we should share!"
"Share? Old Man, do you have anything that I would covet?" Yan Kongyue blinked: "You’re not suggesting we discuss which foot would make you run faster when you fled just now, are you?"
"Shan Yuan Daozhang, I will have Li Butler settle your expenses later; then you can leave," Huo Laotai said somewhat unhappily. Yan Kongyue was her family's savior, yet these old Taoists combined had over two hundred years of age and were teaming up to bully a young girl.
"Lady Huo, we just want to exchange some insights on Dao techniques with the little Daoist."
"You old Taoist, if you keep calling me 'fellow Daoist,' I swear I'll hit you!"
"Hmph, speaking so rudely at such a young age, your master must not be anyone special."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark sky flashed, and a nearly one-meter-wide purple lightning bolt struck the old Taoist in the courtyard.
With a scream, the old man who had just been lecturing was now charred black, his hair frizzed out. As he cried out, a puff of black smoke escaped his mouth.
"Second Senior Brother Shen Yan, Shen Yan!"
"Lady Huo, my senior brother was impulsive; please forgive him."
"You should apologize, not me!" Huo Laotai shifted to the side.
"Uh, this young friend, we have offended you; we hope you won't hold it against us. We're very sorry!"
"Please advise your senior brother; there's no need to say anything more. He's quite annoying."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll definitely talk to him."
"Well then, we won't see you off!"
"No need! I'm so embarrassed! My senior brother brought this upon himself and got struck by lightning; I've lost enough face already."
"Let's go!" The old Taoist waved his hand at the other two with his head down and turned to leave.
Yan Kongyue remained still, watching them. As they turned around, she raised her hand and unleashed a surge of spiritual energy.
