Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Underworld Envoy

The Old Master smugly curled his mustache, "Of course."

"Remember that marriage ghost who wanted to drag me underground to get married? She eloped with her lover, but later he despised her and clubbed her to death with jade, then sold her body to a rural area for a ghost wedding."

The Old Master lowered his gaze in thought, "No wonder she hasn’t been able to reincarnate all these years, the resentful energy is too strong!"

"Li Mingshen is the reincarnation of her lover. Although he’s gone through several lifetimes, in none of them has he been a good person, and for some reason, he’s never faced retribution. Fortunately, Qi and I ran into him and thought of giving the marriage ghost a chance for revenge by acting on behalf of justice."

The Old Master was silent for a moment, then said, "That’s necessary."

"Huh? Dad, you’re not mad at us for causing trouble?"

"What trouble? A few feet above us is a God; the good and evil deeds of people will all bring about karmic retribution. But sometimes there are inevitably some who slip through the net, which is why there are specialized Netherworld Envoys to handle them. These envoys travel through the Six Realms, wielding great power, and are the most secretive existence of the Xuan Sect. Encountering Li Mingshen was likely arranged by the envoys to provide a channel for the innocent, unjustly deceased to plead their case."

"Oh, so that’s the explanation," Yun Qiuce looked up at the sky, feeling as if he had opened the door to a new world.

The father and son were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Yun Qi nearby, eating melon, her big eyes blinking—

One shouldn’t only see the good and not the bad; the Netherworld Envoys have great power, but the pressure is also great.

"Qi, what’s wrong?" Yun Qiuce noticed Yun Qi was distracted.

"Oh, nothing, just finished my melon."

On a summer afternoon, everything was lush and lovely, the sunlight intensely bright.

Yun Qi woke up from a nap, her hair wet with sweat, wearing a loose white long dress pajama, her slippers making a soft thudding sound as she walked downstairs.

She happened to run into Yun Ying who was about to go out, looking sharp and composed. Yun Ying glanced at Yun Qi briefly, then withdrew her gaze coldly and put on her sun hat.

"Are you going out, sister?"

"Mm." The tone was impatient.

Yun Qi wanted to persuade her further, but seeing her determined stance, leaving no room for doubt, she could only sigh.

Suddenly Yun Ying squatted down, hooked a finger into Yun Qi’s collar, and pulled her closer, her cold eyes glaring fiercely, "Don’t pretend to be all cute and kind in front of me, I don’t buy it."

Although lifted by the collar, Yun Qi’s little face still held a bright smile, "Sister is so competitive, just don’t cry if you lose."

"Mind your own business." Yun Ying pushed her away; Yun Qi’s body, unable to bear such force, stumbled and nearly hit the corner of the table behind her.

Still, Yun Qi didn’t get angry at all, instead, she irritatingly waved, "Bye, sister."

Yun Ying felt like she had punched a cotton ball and left with a full head of steam.

Upon arriving at Division 49, she didn’t delay, wiped the sweat off her forehead perfunctorily, and said to Officer Liu, who looked solemn, "Officer Liu, since it’s certain that it’s attracting Evil Qi, let’s start. I’ll use the knowledge I’ve learned to help locate the source of the Evil Qi."

Officer Liu nodded, "Thank you, Miss Yun."

Although Division 49 is responsible for handling various bizarre and strange cases, the truly capable big shots guard the Capital City, while many ordinary officers in the local branches don’t understand Mystical Techniques.

Thus, they need assistance from the local Xuan Sect.

Officer Liu was a rookie who had just reported last year; after a year of training, he gradually accepted the worldview of Division 49, handling such cases inevitably made him nervous, and he almost took Yun Ying’s words as gospel.
