Chapter 21: The Enigma

  Look up at the high mountain, feeling closer and closer, take a step to start climbing. An hour later, Qixiu stood on the open space, looking around in all directions, not even a single sweat on his forehead, very refreshing! Following the footprints into the grass thicket, came to that flat ground. Qixiu felt very strange, the breath disappeared suddenly here! Looking up and around, the air here is not quite normal, too clean! Turning head involuntarily, saw the marks on the ground, Qixiu squatted down to touch with his hand, it's blood!

  Get up, look around, part the grass, and reveal a rotten temple. It has already collapsed halfway, and with a finger touch, Qi Xiu's heart is somewhat puzzled. The mark looks like it was just driven away, but this method is clean and ruthless, not like any of the methods he knows.

  This is really strange! As long as it's related to Kisaragi, people and things all give off an inexplicable aura, including him!

  Step by step, he walked down the mountain and got into the car. He sat there for a while before starting the engine and driving away. From the start of school until now, it's been over a month since he started observing Ji Su Yin. There were many times when he intentionally approached her, but Ji Su Yin seemed to have a radar that would detect him whenever he got close, causing her to immediately retreat far away.

  To be honest, from a young age, Qi Xiu had always been used to getting what he wanted easily. Suddenly encountering Ji Su Yin was really making him feel stifled. However, he couldn't easily let go either. Ji Su Yin had secrets hidden on her body, and although he wasn't someone who liked to interfere in other people's business, this secret involved him. Whether it was good or bad, he had to grasp the situation as soon as possible. It would be best if he could nip the trouble in the bud, which was his most basic principle of doing things! If he just sat back and did nothing, it would only become more troublesome to deal with on a certain day in the future!

  He later went to great lengths and investigated again, but the result was not satisfactory. Ji Su's family background was too ordinary and plain, and no clues could be found. If it wasn't for his own sake, then someone must have deliberately hidden it! Who was it that had such a huge influence?!

  Zixiu commanded to continue the investigation while closely monitoring Ji Suyan. The time Ji Suyan suddenly disappeared in front of him, it made him very surprised, because he didn't feel any fluctuation of aura, even if a ghost was hiding, there would be a slight soul fluctuation, but Ji Suyan just silently and quietly disappeared in front of him!

  This fact left him bewildered, and he went under the wutong tree again. He suddenly realized that with such weak power of this little ghost, how could it create the Ghost Domain? If it wasn't created by the little ghost, then it was created by Ji SuYin!

  Zixiu was shocked by his own thoughts! If it really was Qisu's doing, then what kind of person was she? What kind of special abilities did she possess? Most importantly, what did all this have to do with him?

  The puzzle that had been bothering him suddenly had a clue in the past few days. That day, something unexpected happened in the cafeteria, although it wasn't his tray flying towards Ji SuYin, making her look so pitiful and comical, but he also had to take some responsibility! He originally wanted to go up and hand her a paper towel, but was shouted at by Ji SuYin in front of everyone: "Don't come over, stay away from me!" To be honest, this really made him lose face, a surge of anger rose up, and he turned around and left! His mood for the entire day was terrible, the anger in his heart, no matter what, couldn't be swallowed.

  I decided to take care of that little devil at night, and not bother with Qiu Su's affairs. What a troublesome thing! But when I went there at night, I ran into that idiot again, squatting on the ground, looking like he was about to reach out and touch the little devil, trying to build a relationship or something.

  At first, he thought that the white idiot had been possessed by the little ghost, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing?" The little ghost was immediately scared away, and Ji Suoyu was still squatting on the ground, looking up at him with a posture like a small animal abandoned without emotion!

  Ji Su's voice was just staring at him, not speaking, he felt very strange, and couldn't help but ask again: "What are you doing?" Just as he thought of getting closer, he was stopped. "Don't come any closer!" The voice drifted over like a ghost, if he hadn't been used to it, he would have been scared to death.

  He was rejected again, feeling very uncomfortable, and simply laid out the words: "Why do you always want me to leave? Have I offended you?" Ji Su's voice was low and still, at this time he faintly felt that Ji Su was not quite right, looking like she wasn't being held back, but rather had some mental issues.

  Just as he was about to attend to his own affairs, Ji Su's voice came: "The closer you get, the more painful it becomes." He listened and his first reaction was surprise, hastily asking: "Where does it hurt?" His mind involuntarily thought, could it be heartache or something? "Eyes, and head!" He couldn't explain why he let out a sigh of relief, and then asked again in confusion: "Are you in pain now? Do you know the reason?" He didn't expect that idiot to nod obediently, and even came up with the hypothetical conclusion that "perhaps we had a feud in our past lives".

  He was stunned, then furious! What grudge? Who knew who was whose enemy? He was so angry that he couldn't continue the conversation, glared fiercely at the little devil, threatened him, and turned to leave! How could it be like this? He didn't expect to have such an impact on Ji SuYin, no wonder Ji SuYin always told him to get lost!

  With a reasonable explanation, the anger in his heart naturally dissipated. If that was indeed the case, then there was no way around it! However, this made things even more suspicious! What on earth was the reason? He racked his brains and thought it necessary to go back to that place and investigate.

  Subconsciously, a sense of disgust welled up in his heart. He really detested that place and would never want to go back if he didn't have to. Without alarming anyone, he secretly snuck back and used that thing for the first time.

  After two days, he found some clues, although it was just a little bit, but enough to surprise him. The problem is that this is just his guess, and the fact is still to be verified, and it seems to have nothing directly to do with him!

  Back at school, he prepared to deal with the little devil first, it had been too long and was prone to causing trouble. Unexpectedly, he saw Ji Su again, this time he didn't get close, just watching from the side.

  He wanted to see what this woman, Ji Su Yin, would do! To be honest, Ji Su Yin surprised him! He re-recognized this woman named Ji Su Yin! Her way of releasing the vengeful spirit was... how should he put it? The stupidest he had ever seen! But also the most affectionate! As a naturally powerful Onmyodo practitioner, he couldn't help but be speechless! Seeing her cry so miserably and not going back to sleep made him very annoyed. After thinking for a moment, he decided to prioritize the main task at hand. He walked over, grabbed her hand, and took her blood. Ji Su Yin was startled into stopping her tears immediately, and he felt very satisfied.

  Having sucked enough blood, he looked at her and suddenly felt that Ji Su's voice, who was squatting on the ground and shouting, wasn't so stupid after all. At least now she looked like a spoiled little cat, waving its paws in distress.

  He pulled out the things on his body and threw them to her, then turned around and left. It seems that it's really necessary to investigate thoroughly, he thought to himself! After running around for several days, finally able to catch a breath, but he found out that Ji SuYin was actually a troublemaker!

  At one o'clock in the morning, Qi Xiu, who was still asleep, was suddenly awakened by a surge of spiritual energy and the feeling that his protective charm had been triggered. Oh no! If this attracts the attention of the three major families, he's done for! He couldn't explain why he wanted to hide Qī Sù Yīn, but he just felt that Qī Sù Yīn shouldn't be discovered!

  He immediately pulled out his phone to make a call, but no one answered. He slammed the phone shut in frustration. After ruffling his hair, he picked it up and continued dialing. It wasn't until 7 am that someone finally picked up. It seemed like Ji Su had nothing important to say, and once he knew what he needed to know, he hung up promptly. Following the faint breath of air, he rushed back to the empty lot from earlier, only to find it had already been purified - the air was incredibly clean!

  This is absolutely not an ordinary person, no! Not even an ordinary practitioner can do it, the means are ingenious, and there is a fierce and resolute aura about him! Who is this person? And what's his relationship with Ji Su Yin again? The doubts in his heart were like snowballs, getting bigger and bigger as they rolled, he was extremely annoyed, and stepped hard on the accelerator, the Audi sped away fiercely.
