Ye Qiu meets Cheng Yixue, who attempts to use a chilling tactic against her, but Ye Qiu's exposure to sunlight incapacitates Cheng Yixue's companion. Suspecting foul play, Ye Qiu visits a temple and encounters Li Yizhen, a mystical consultant, who identifies the 'chill' as Yin Qi and offers her services to help Ye Qiu.

"Your friend really needs our help now," Li Yizhen said worriedly.

Ye Qiu felt amused. This Li Yizhen was probably new to the Mystical Sect and still thinking somewhat naively. Cheng Yixue wasn’t just simply encountering ghosts; she certainly had raised a little ghost.

Though she couldn’t figure out why Cheng Yixue’s little ghost was so weak and couldn’t stand even a short exposure to sunlight, clearly Cheng Yixue’s malicious intent had not diminished.

Let’s just let Li Yizhen think that way for now. When she meets Cheng Yixue in person, it will become clear.

"Master, please help Little Quan. He’s injured," Cheng Yixue didn’t go home but instead brought the little ghost to the Divine Woman’s place, knocking on the door anxiously.

Inside, the Divine Woman was furious upon seeing the little ghost: "How did he get hurt like this? Didn’t I warn you the child hasn’t completely grown and can’t be exposed to the sun?"

"I didn’t mean to. It was Ye Qiu, she insisted on dragging me out to bask in the sun, and that’s how Little Quan got sunburned. Master, Little Quan looks so weak—please save him," Cheng Yixue pleaded.

"Ye Qiu dragged you out to bask in the sun? Did she learn something?" The Divine Woman’s tone was sinister, and she deeply frowned.

"Probably not, she didn’t show any abnormal behavior. It was when Little Quan was absorbing her luck that she said she felt cold and wanted to go out."

"I’ll help you one last time. You must not be so careless with the child in the future." Having said that, the Divine Woman sighed, "Forget it, I had a bit of a bond with your grandmother back then, so I’ll exert a bit more mana, as we can’t have you unable to appear during the day forever. I’ll have the child gather more Yin Qi so that it won’t affect him when you go out."

Upon hearing the Divine Woman’s words, Cheng Yixue immediately expressed immense gratitude, showing a big smile.

She thought, after this, Ye Qiu would only obediently let herself be exploited, yet she failed to notice the increasingly strange look in the Divine Woman’s eyes.

Li Yizhen happened to be a freshman at Ye Qiu’s school this year, coming early upon being requested by elders to visit a few elder relatives. When Ye Qiu heard she intended to find a temple to stay temporarily, she simply invited her to stay at her own home.

"Is it really okay?" She felt a bit embarrassed.

"What’s not okay? There’s no one else at my home anyway, and since you’re here to help me, if you’re not with me, how could you spot anything unusual about my friend timely?"

Li Yizhen nodded upon hearing this: "Your explanation does make some sense, so I guess I’ll take you up on it."

"Why do I feel Little Quan seems a bit different from before?" Cheng Qing asked doubtfully, as upon seeing the child again today, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

"Little Quan got injured today, and I took him to the Master to reinforce his Yin Qi," Cheng Yixue explained.

"How did he get injured? Did he run into someone from the Mystical Sect?" Cheng Qing immediately tensed up.

"No, it was Ye Qiu. After Little Quan absorbed her luck today, she felt cold and insisted on dragging me out to bask in the sun." Speaking of it, Cheng Yixue was filled with hatred, wishing Ye Qiu would face retribution immediately.

"Their family really is a nemesis for us mother and daughter, but no worries, they’ll soon pay the price."

"Mom, how’s your job application at the Ye Family going? Why haven’t you started yet?" Cheng Yixue suddenly recalled and asked.

"Who knows what’s going on, the personnel department only said they’ve already filled all the positions," Cheng Qing said with gritted teeth, heavens knows how long she had strived for the position, how could she not be suitable?

"Doesn’t that mess up our plans?"

"Do you think your mom is someone who gives up so easily? I won’t let Ye Yuanan escape my grasp. We’ll seize their family’s luck; it’s just that I learned Ye Yuanan has gone abroad these days. We’ll wait until he returns," Cheng Qing said ruthlessly.

"Shouldn’t we go to your friend now? I’m worried that waiting longer might be dangerous." Li Yizhen grew anxious since Cheng Yixue hadn’t approached Ye Qiu in the past few days.

"Don’t worry, ever since I’ve known her, her luck has always been great. If you’re so worried, we can go see her today." Ye Qiu figured Cheng Yixue must have suffered last time and decided to recuperate for a while. Unexpectedly, upon visiting, she came across another fool of her family.

A guy and a girl stood at the entrance of the community from afar, the guy looked urgent, trying to reach for Cheng Yixue’s hand.

"Ziyi, thank you for your help today, but I truly can’t accept you," Cheng Yixue gently declined.

"Why? Where am I not good enough? I know you also have feelings for me," Lin Ziyi said emotionally.

He was Ye Qiu’s uncle’s son, the eldest of the family, also the heir apparent of the Lin Family—a Heaven’s Chosen Son envied by many, yet in his past life as one of Cheng Yixue’s admirers, he also didn’t meet a good end.

"You know, Ye Qiu and I are good friends..." Cheng Yixue spoke ambiguously, easily leading to misunderstandings, and Lin Ziyi naturally misunderstood.

"Is it Ye Qiu who disapproves? What right does she have to stop us?" Lin Ziyi said w angrily.

"After all, I knew Ye Qiu first; I don’t want her to be unhappy. Ziyi, maybe we should let it go..."

"No, how can we just end it like this? If you have feelings for me and I like you, we ought to be together!"

"But I don’t want to hurt Ye Qiu."

"Is that white-dressed woman your friend?" Li Yizhen sounded troubled, though she was an outsider, she picked up on something unusual, how could the guy opposite be so oblivious?

"Mm, did you notice something?"

"It’s hard to be certain from this distance, but she does carry a strong presence of Yin Qi, yet it doesn’t harm her, which is curious. Ordinarily, with such heavy Yin Qi, she shouldn’t be able to even get out of bed."

"Then we shouldn’t alarm her; let’s follow quietly."

Li Yizhen agreed dizzily but felt puzzled—why tail covertly? As friends, shouldn’t they rush over to solve the problem?

Yet from their interaction these days, she realized Ye Qiu was smart and wouldn’t make random decisions, so she just followed, ready to address issues when it was crucial.

"Huh?" Li Yizhen suddenly queried suspiciously.

"What’s up?"

"That guy’s luck was flourishing a moment ago, but now his looks imply a minor jinx, maybe even minor physical harm, though not life-threatening. It’s so odd, how can someone’s luck change instantly?" Li Yizhen was stumped.

Yet Ye Qiu asked, "You can read faces?"

Li Yizhen chuckled, "I’m not really skilled at catching ghosts—I’m better with faces. But don’t worry, I have my Master’s talismans and Magic Artifact on me; handling a ghost is quite doable."
