But just as Luo Yingbai slightly lowered his guard and was about to take the phone, Xia Xianning’s muddled love brain barely recovered some rationality. He suddenly thought that his senior brother’s thought process was always different from his own. What if Luo Yingbai didn’t have an epiphany after reading it but decided to keep his distance to avoid suspicion?
A moment before Luo Yingbai’s fingers touched the phone, Xia Xianning withdrew his hand again.
The phone spun in his hand and was stuffed back into his pocket. Xia Xianning said casually: “Forget it.”
Luo Yingbai: “???”
Xia Xianning got off the bed, arranged the pillow for him, and pressed Luo Yingbai onto it: “Actually, it was just a ghost story. I didn’t want to tease you anymore.”
Luo Yingbai: “…”
Xia Xianning stared at that face, for a moment almost wanting to kiss him. He turned away with a sigh, feeling completely done for, and said: “Go to sleep early. Are you going to Liao De’s place the day after tomorrow?”
Luo Yingbai pondered: “That’s still under discussion.”
What are your plans regarding the matters in the spirit world?”
Xia Xianning said: “The gray area between the human world and the underworld, though it can’t be completely cleared, should be eliminated when discovered. Every spirit world is supported by a core resentment to form a scale. The one we encountered should be Huang Lijuan, sealed by Yin Ming.”
Luo Yingbai said: “Now that everything is clear, as long as we bring out the other half of Huang Lijuan’s sealed soul, the spirit world will automatically collapse. That’s easy, but before that, I need to go in and find someone. If I go, the Liao family’s matter might be resolved… Will you have time to accompany me?”
Xia Xianning said: “I do.”
Whatever Luo Yingbai wanted him to do, Xia Xianning never asked why. Instead, Luo Yingbai took the initiative to explain: “You know, last time I left a talisman mark on Liao Zhong to help find him. That mark probably still partially remains on him. These past few days, I’ve been able to sense the magical fluctuations. I suspect…”
Luo Yingbai paused, didn’t finish his sentence, and instead said: “Suspecting anything is useless. Let’s go and see first.”
