“Brother-in-law, you see, you see this Lin Xing.” Zhu Fen spoke to Commander Zhang, “What benefits could there be in capturing ghosts?

We’ve been busy for half the day and haven’t gained a thing.”

“He’d rather investigate the ghost cases than raid the followers of the Heavenly Will Sect.

I think he’s clearly involved with that Evil Woman.”

“They disappeared together for two whole days.

For two entire days, with the Evil Woman’s stunning beauty, how could Lin Xing not be completely bewitched?”

“Not to mention that they stayed together in the same courtyard for so many days.”

“Brother-in-law, you really need to be wary of this Lin Xing…”

With a wave of his hand, Commander Zhang stopped Zhu Fen from speaking.

Commander Zhang said indifferently, “Your sister asked the servants.

Lin Xing has hardly stepped foot in Jing Shiyu’s room these past days.

He doesn’t seem the type to be tempted by beauty.”

Zhu Fen began to speak, “Brother-in-law…”

Commander Zhang cut him off again and warned him with a cold glance, “In the future, speak less ill of our own people in front of me.

Lin Xing has risked his life for this commander many times; I trust him.”

…

As soon as Lin Xing returned to his chamber, Bai Yiyi, who had been pretending to be dead on the bed, immediately jumped up and asked eagerly, “Did you go back with that woman?”

“You were gone so long?

What did you do?”

“Did she not lay a hand on you?”

Lin Xing scratched his head, feeling unsure where to begin, and finally summed it up, “Ah, it was all a misunderstanding.

But she’s actually not bad, and she even wanted to take me as her apprentice.”

“She wanted to take you as an apprentice too?” Bai Yiyi suddenly became alert and ran up to Lin Xing, asking, “Does she know about your ability to reverse time?

Did you tell her?”

Lin Xing, while browsing through the Daoist books in the chest, replied, “No, she just thinks I have good talent.”

As he spoke, Lin Xing picked up a Daoist Book that detailed a Taoist skill from Qingfeng Temple called the Object Manipulation Skill.

Currently, Lin Xing’s talisman skills had reached the fourth tier, the upper limit, and he only waited for further sublimation.

The only other skill that could be sublimated was a meditation skill, which also required reaching the fourth tier.

So, Lin Xing thought to pick another combat-relevant Taoist skill that could also be sublimated in the future.

Having witnessed Jing Shiyu’s battle, Lin Xing felt he had a better understanding of the direction inherited from Daoist Child and thus decided to learn a long-range attack skill.

The selected Object Manipulation Skill was just that—a skill to manipulate objects for attacks through spiritual thoughts.

However, this skill could be fixed on a specific object, strengthening its power as practice went on.

After browsing the practice method of the Object Manipulation Skill, Lin Xing came to the desk, intending to draw some talismans to prepare for upcoming actions.

Especially the Evil Suppression Talisman, used to combat evil spirits.

…

Early the next morning, Lin Xing grabbed his backpack and prepared to leave.

At that moment, the cat stuffed animal beside him called out, “Lin Xing, where are you going?”

Upon hearing Lin Xing’s intended destination, Bai Yiyi said, “Take me with you.”

Lin Xing responded in surprise, “Master Bai, don’t you prefer… staying in the Commander Mansion?”

As a cat stuffed animal, Bai Yiyi indeed preferred staying in the Commander Mansion and not going out.

However, with each of Lin Xing’s adventurous departures, Bai Yiyi felt that he was drifting further from her.

And soon she understood why.

“Every time Lin Xing practices a skill with time reversal, it might seem like a long time has passed for him.”

“In the long run, what seems like just a few days without seeing me could feel like a very long time since we’ve spoken for him.”

“Hmph, that little temptress from the Heavenly Will Sect wants to steal my apprentice; I need to bond more with Lin Xing so that he can help me reclaim the Taiqing Sect in the future.”

Thinking this, Bai Yiyi quickly grabbed Lin Xing’s fingers and said softly, “Master missed you, take Master with you this time.

I’ve been roaming the jianghu for many years, and I’ve seen a lot.

I’ll definitely be able to help you.”

“Alright, then let’s go,” Lin Xing responded nonchalantly.

When leaving the Commander Mansion, Commander Zhang had originally arranged a team of men for Lin Xing, but Lin Xing refused them directly.

After all, they were dealing with an evil spirit this time, and having more people might not necessarily be useful.

On the contrary, in Lin Xing’s view, too many teammates would actually be a hassle and could hinder his actions.

Thus, Lin Xing just took a carriage and a coachman and set out on the road to Wang Family Town.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Xing began to practice the Object Manipulation Skill earnestly.

He pulled out a transparent ruler from his backpack and placed it on his knees.

This was the item he planned to use to fixate in the Object Manipulation Skill.

Originally, he wanted to use a double-ended spanner, but he found it still too heavy for his current level of spiritual thoughts.

Instead, this polycarbonate-built ruler was not only lightweight but also sturdy; using it to perform the Object Manipulation Skill would definitely be quick.

Under the control of Lin Xing’s spiritual thoughts, the ruler slowly began to float.

He manipulated his spiritual thoughts as if countless hands were gently brushing over the ruler, familiarizing themselves with every inch of its space.

The carriage continued to move slowly out of the city gate as Lin Xing practiced.

Lying in the carriage, Bai Yiyi was feeling bored when she suddenly heard bursts of noise from outside.

She jumped up and drew back the carriage curtain, only to see row upon row of shanties outside the city gate.

At that moment, many emaciated women and children stood together, being picked over like cattle and sheep.

“This one’s teeth aren’t good, don’t want it…”

“This one is too old, what use would buying her be?

What sort of goods did General Zhu capture this time…”

“Master, please buy me.

I learned farming and weaving from my previous master…”

“Haha, then why didn’t he keep you?

Isn’t it because you are too old?”

Bai Yiyi had already seen similar scenes countless times in this world; the sight in front of her seemed normal.

After a few glances, she found it boring and lay down again after shutting the curtain.

…

Meanwhile, inside Wolong Mountain, within a certain bandit stronghold.

An elderly man was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, his face filled with gloom.

Suddenly, another subordinate rushed in and said to the elderly man, “Village Chief, Lin Xing has left the city.”

“Hm?” The old man’s gaze instantly sharpened, and he stood up abruptly after hearing his subordinate’s report, “You said he left the city alone in a carriage?”

“Didn’t bring any soldiers?”

“Didn’t bring any people at all?”

The murderous intent in the old man’s eyes flashed as he asked, “Has the Holy Daughter been informed?”

The subordinate said, “The Holy Daughter said this is an opportunity, the Dragon Tiger Divine General cannot die in vain.”

The old man nodded and murmured, “Yes, my son cannot die in vain either.”
