Chapter 20
Time passed two days later.
The afterglow of the sunset gradually receded, and darkness gradually enveloped the world.
In a mansion somewhere on the outskirts of Jiangliu City, Qin Liu’s fingertips gathered a wisp of deep blue, six (eight “alcohol, 5 bar ball” is Ling (five)-colored radiance.
She slowly outlined a talisman in the void.
The moment the rune formed, the air trembled slightly, and then all the candles in the room went out instantly, but then reignited, only that the flames turned a strange deep blue.
“Success!”
The little loli excitedly turned around and looked at Liu Haoyu, her eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.
Liu Haoyu, on the other hand, was full of doubt about life. He looked out the window and then silently lit a cigarette for himself.
The reason was none other than what the Black Book had said: Qin Liu’s talent was simply monstrous!
This learning speed was not something a normal person should have.
No matter how talented one was, the strength of a human soul limited the progress of a ghost exorcist.
But Qin Liu seemed to have broken through this limit. Her progress and absorption speed were unnaturally fast.
It even made Liu Haoyu suspect that this delicate and cute little guy was a reincarnation of King Yama, otherwise, this learning speed would be neither scientific nor mystical!
“How, how is it?”
“Ah… very good.”
Liu Haoyu put away his melancholic expression, leaned against the window with a relieved smile.
“Not bad, not bad, even faster than I imagined.”
“Hmph, hmph! That’s natural.”
Qin Liu naturally knew her situation as a transmigrator. With two souls combined, her soul strength was already outrageously high, let alone the super high spiritual sight ability that this body possessed.
The ghost exorcism techniques that others found obscure were as easy as elementary school math for her.
Therefore, in just two days, Qin Liu had mastered the basic ghost exorcism techniques and could even independently complete the evil suppression techniques used for catching ghosts.
Even the Black Book couldn’t help but gasp at such terrifying talent, muttering.
“This woman is terrifyingly so. If she had learned ghost exorcism techniques earlier, she might have been able to seal Gu Qianyang herself.”
But neither of them heard its self-muttering.
“What should we learn next?”
Under Qin Liu’s eager gaze, Liu Haoyu did not answer.
He looked out the window, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
“What’s wrong?”
Qin Liu, who was originally happy, also walked to the window and poked out her little head to look outside, and then her expression froze.
The gate of the mansion slowly opened, and a black carriage drove into the courtyard.
The moment the curtain was lifted, she saw that familiar and sinister face again.
Gu Qianyang was back.
“Hide your aura.”
Liu Haoyu’s voice also became solemn at this moment.
Qin Liu’s fingers unconsciously clenched Liu Haoyu’s clothes.
Since becoming a ghost exorcist, she could clearly feel a cold aura gradually covering the entire mansion when Gu Qianyang returned here.
“Don’t be afraid,” perhaps sensing Qin Liu’s trembling body, Liu Haoyu gently pressed her shoulder, “I’ll be with you.”
Qin Liu took a deep breath and nodded.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from the corridor.
An old and wizened butler opened the door. When he saw Qin Liu, he said in a hoarse voice, “Miss Qin Liu, the master is back. He invites you to the hall to see you.”
“Okay…”
Although she was able to leave the room again, Qin Liu couldn’t be happy at all. Instead, her face was covered with a heavy gloom.
After the butler left, Liu Haoyu patted her head and said.
“I’ll go with you.”
“But you should also know that this Gu Qianyang is not a good person.”
“He killed your biological parents, so no matter what he says, don’t believe him.”
Hearing this, Qin Liu’s body trembled slightly, and then she nodded, tidied her collar, and pushed open the door to walk out.
After Nekomata fought with the clone of the Night Walker, the hall was already in ruins.
There was even a huge hole on the floor, and the chandelier overhead was gone, presumably having fallen to the lowest point of the hole.
Gu Qianyang stood with his back to her, in front of the fireplace, the firelight highlighting his tall figure.
Hearing the footsteps, the old man slowly turned around, revealing a refined yet sinister face.
This was also the first time Liu Haoyu had seen him so clearly.
But he didn’t speak, he just quietly followed not far behind Qin Liu. As long as he didn’t make a move, these people wouldn’t see him.
“My dear daughter, long time no see.”
Gu Qianyang’s gaze suddenly lingered on Qin Liu’s forehead for a few seconds, and his brows furrowed.
“Are you injured?”
Before Qin Liu could explain, Nekomata spoke first.
“The clone of the Night Walker entered her room before. This little one seems to have hit her head while escaping.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Gu Qianyang nodded thoughtfully.
“But the injury seems to be mostly healed… Hmm?”
At this moment, Gu Qianyang seemed to have discovered something.
As a man standing at the peak of ghost exorcists, he always felt a faint spiritual power fluctuation emanating from this little guy.
This was clearly something only ghost exorcists possessed?
Why did Qin Liu have such a fluctuation?
Facing Gu Qianyang’s scrutinizing gaze, Qin Liu’s expression remained unchanged, but her heart couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
The reason was none other than that Gu Qianyang exuded an imposing aura. He made her feel like a mountain weighing down on her, making it impossible to breathe.
Did he find something?
Qin Liu’s heart beat faster and faster, but her expression remained unchanged. She just blinked her confused eyes and asked.
“Is there something on my face?”
“No, not really…” Gu Qianyang squinted, extended his hand, and said, “Qin Liu, come here, let me see the wound on your forehead.”
Hearing this, Qin Liu’s heart sank. She knew she couldn’t escape, but she could only pretend to know nothing and walked over step by step.
For Qin Liu at this moment, with every step she took, she felt Gu Qianyang’s gaze becoming heavier, as if he would suddenly attack at any moment.
If she were alone, she might have been quite uneasy.
But… it’s okay…
There was still a guy named Liu Haoyu by her side.
Finally, she reached Gu Qianyang’s side. The old man slowly raised his head, and his thin, cold fingers gently touched Qin Liu’s forehead.
The cold feeling made Qin Liu uncomfortable, but she could only endure the discomfort and did not retreat a single step.
As time went by, Gu Qianyang’s brows remained unfurrowed, and the air began to become heavy. Qin Liu was so nervous that her breathing almost stopped.
