“Wu Lin!! It must be him!” Ji Jing shouted in the whistling wind.

She should have known, she should have realized it long ago!

Ji Jing, filled with regret, quickly applied a talisman to Wang Cai to make it run faster.

Why did Wu Lin manage to snatch the Soul-binding Lock from the underworld, but not immediately resurrect the person he wanted to? Was it because Wu Lin didn’t want to? No, it was because he still needed a vessel!

Although he had preserved the woman’s body very well with formaldehyde in that attic, it was ultimately a lifeless body. Even if Wu Lin retained her soul, she had been separated from her body for too long, and Wu Lin couldn’t bring her back to the original vessel. So he needed to find a new vessel for that woman’s soul.

Initially, he targeted someone, but he failed, and that person was turned into a servant on the first floor.

Later, he set his sights on Xue Zhong. Ji Jing suspected that he hadn’t succeeded this time either but had accidentally discovered Xue Zhong’s special background in the process. So, he decided to use Xue Zhong to lure the He family to City C.

“His real goal is the He family’s paper manipulation technique!” Ji Jing’s voice reached He Xin’s ears on the wind. “He wants to use paper figures as the vessel!”

“I understand!” He Xin suddenly realized but still had some questions. “But why did he steal the jade pendant?!”

“Isn’t your family using the jade pendant for the inheritance ritual?! He must be trying to steal the inheritance!” Xiao Taotie was both anxious and frustrated. How could this person be more clueless than him? “What? No, that’s just a simple jade pendant,” He Xin said, puzzled.

“Bang! ”

Ji Jing slammed on the brakes, and Wang Cai stopped abruptly.

Xiao Taotie also hit the brakes but couldn’t stop in time, falling and bringing He Xin down with him, leaving them in a tangled mess on the ground.

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?!” In human form, Xiao Taotie grabbed He Xin’s collar, angry and confused. What was he thinking? To treat a plain jade pendant as something valuable?

Didn’t all these aristocratic families use jade pendants for their inheritance rituals? Why did the He family have to be so unconventional?!

“Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle!” He Xin was being manhandled by the young boy and begged for mercy.

He felt wronged. He hadn’t even had a chance to explain. The inheritance was in their blood, and who would use a jade pendant for that? It could be easily lost!

He made a lot of sense, but the expressions on Ji Jing and Xiao Taotie’s faces were hard to put into words. Even Wang Cai let out a disdainful “woof.”

“Okay, okay!” He Xin surrendered in frustration. He didn’t want this either, and no one had asked him!

Half an hour later, they all gathered in the Mingze family’s home.

“Tell me, what’s going on?” Mingze sat at the head of the table, his gaze resting on He Xin, which made He Xin feel as if he were being scrutinized.

With the Bai Ze clan present, He Xin dared not speak random lies or hide anything. He explained the whole chain of events thoroughly.

“The pair of jade pendants given to children in the family is a token,” He Xin scratched his head and honestly said, “But the inheritance of our family involves participating in a trial at the ancestral shrine. Having those jade pendants is better, but not having them is… alright.”

“So, in reality, Wu Lin didn’t take anything.” Mingze nonchalantly peeled a pomegranate and handed it to Ji Jing. She had run after someone for so long, so she deserved a break.

“Uh… I suppose you could say that,” He Xin nodded nervously, realizing that he hadn’t explained clearly, causing everyone to run for nothing.

Fu Xian, tagging along with these friends with extraordinary abilities, had an easy time, not running around in vain.

Xiao Taotie was infuriated, gnawing on a pomegranate peel without peeling it.

“Was that shadow Wu Lin?” Xue Zhong curiously asked with a strange look in his heart. “When did he become like this….
