Chapter 418: Song Liuge’s Identity!

This bottle of mineral water is definitely not ordinary water, but there’s not much difference in taste.

However, considering Song Liuge’s identity, this water is most likely related to soul spirits.

But when Fang Yu examines himself internally, he doesn’t detect anything unusual.

“You! What’s so interesting about that mineral water bottle? Just because it was given by that Song Liuge person?” Tang Xiaorou turned to see Fang Yu’s focused expression, her face flushing with anger.

Fang Yu put down the mineral water and glanced at Tang Xiaorou, asking, “Where are we going for ice cream?”

“…Just across from the school cafeteria!” Tang Xiaorou replied irritably.

When the two walked down from the teaching building, most students had already left, making the building very quiet.

“Fang Yu, I didn’t realize your literary accomplishments were so high. How did you accumulate such knowledge?” Tang Xiaorou suddenly asked as they walked.

“I used to read novels all the time, that’s how I accumulated it,” Fang Yu replied nonchalantly.

“That’s impossible… you only read detective novels, how could those improve your literary cultivation?” Tang Xiaorou frowned.

As they conversed, they reached the first floor.

At the stairway on the first floor stood a figure.

It was Ye Shengxue.

“Mr. Fang, may I speak with you?” Ye Shengxue asked, lightly biting her pink lips.

Fang Yu was momentarily stunned, then nodded and said, “I was just about to go to the dessert shop for ice cream. Join us.”

“Fang Yu!” Tang Xiaorou turned and glared angrily at him.

She was the one treating, how could Fang Yu invite another girl without her permission? And such a beautiful girl at that!

Ye Shengxue looked at Tang Xiaorou with hesitation.

“It’s fine, she doesn’t understand anything,” Fang Yu said.

“Alright,” Ye Shengxue nodded.

Although Tang Xiaorou felt extremely frustrated, she didn’t want to appear too overbearing in front of others, so she had to bite her tongue and walk ahead angrily.

Ye Shengxue lowered her head slightly and followed behind Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou.

The three arrived at the dessert shop across from the first cafeteria and sat down by the window.

The dessert shop was busy, with many students sitting both inside and outside.

The arrival of Ye Shengxue and Tang Xiaorou caused quite a stir.

The gazes of various students naturally fell on the young man sitting between them, Fang Yu.

However, Fang Yu was already accustomed to such attention.

The three sat in their seats, but no one went to order, creating an awkward atmosphere.

“I want plain ice cream,” Fang Yu said, looking at Tang Xiaorou.

This Fang Yu, so straightforward and inconsiderate!

Tang Xiaorou was fuming, but out of politeness, she turned to Ye Shengxue and asked, “What would you like?”

“Nothing for me, thank you,” Ye Shengxue said softly.

Tang Xiaorou stood up and walked to the counter.

“What did you want to talk about?” Fang Yu asked, looking at Ye Shengxue.

Ye Shengxue bit her lip and said quietly, “Mr. Fang, since that day, I’ve noticed that the people in my family… have become very strange.”

“Strange in what way?” Fang Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

“My father has disappeared… they say he was sent away for treatment, but they won’t tell me where,” Ye Shengxue paused, then continued with sadness in her eyes, “And those clan members, they now look at me with unfamiliar gazes, as if they didn’t know me before, including my mother…”

“Unfamiliar? Do they really think what happened that day was your responsibility?” Fang Yu asked, surprised.

Ye Shengxue shook her head gently, her brows furrowed in distress, “No, they haven’t mentioned what happened that day again. It’s just a very strange… even eerie state. When I ask them questions, they answer me, but there’s no emotion in their eyes, they even seem a bit dazed, like robots.”

“Perhaps the shock from that day was too great,” Fang Yu said.

“But no matter how great the shock, it shouldn’t be like this…” Ye Shengxue sighed, her eyes reddening slightly.

After what happened that day, her brother Ye Shenglong died, her father Ye Zhennan disappeared, and the surviving clan members became like wooden people, devoid of emotion.

What saddened her most was that her mother had the same attitude.

This left Ye Shengxue without anyone to rely on.

On the contrary, after staying at the Ye family for a few days, the eerie and silent atmosphere made her feel suffocated, unable to fall asleep each night in bed.

“So what do you want me to help you with?” Fang Yu asked.

“Could you come back home with me…” Ye Shengxue pleaded, “I know I shouldn’t trouble you again, but I really have no other options.”

The incident at the Ye family that day was still under lockdown, not leaked to the outside, and it couldn’t be leaked.

If word got out, the Ye family would be completely ruined, with all their previous partnerships and business collapsing.

Without Ye Zhennan’s return, the Ye family had no one in charge, leaving them in a fragmented state.

“Your situation is a family conflict, and it’s not appropriate for me to interfere,” Fang Yu said.

Though he said this, he simply didn’t want to go.

He was a bit busy lately, needing to continue researching the energy within Zǐ Luólán when he got home, as well as the bottle of mineral water that Song Liuge had just given him.

Ye Shengxue nodded and said, “That’s alright.”

Fang Yu had already helped her a lot, saving her life once.

If she wasn’t truly desperate, she wouldn’t have sought Fang Yu’s help again; she already owed him enough.

“If you really think something’s wrong, you can ask the Martial Arts Association to take a look. Isn’t that what they specialize in?” Fang Yu suggested.

“Yes, I understand,” Ye Shengxue stood up, bowed deeply to Fang Yu, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Fang. I’ll be going now.”

With that, Ye Shengxue turned and left.

Fang Yu watched her retreating figure, his eyes showing a slight movement.

He felt this girl was quite strong.

Most girls, after experiencing such family turmoil, would have likely broken down long ago.

“She left?” Tang Xiaorou returned with a tray holding two ice creams.

Fang Yu took one without hesitation and began eating.

“Fang Yu, who was that girl just now?” Tang Xiaorou asked, glancing at Fang Yu while eating her ice cream.

“Why are you asking so many questions?” Fang Yu looked at Tang Xiaorou and said.

“I… I’m just curious. You just came to school, how did you get to know so many people so quickly?” Tang Xiaorou said.

Fang Yu didn’t answer this question. He glanced at the mineral water bottle on the table and suddenly had an idea.

Then, he quickly finished his ice cream and stood up.

“I have something to do, I’ll go first.”

With that, Fang Yu picked up the mineral water bottle and quickly walked out of the dessert shop.

“Fang Yu… you jerk!” Tang Xiaorou’s eyes reddened with anger.

…

Fang Yu quickly returned to his apartment.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zǐ Luólán standing on the balcony, looking at the scenery outside.

Since Fang Yu had left a mark on her soul spirit, this woman had become quite obedient, not even having the desire to escape.

Fang Yu ignored her, took a glass from the living room, and returned to his room.

Fang Yu poured the mineral water from Song Liuge into the glass.

Then, he extended his right hand and dipped his index finger into the water.

Clarity Technique.

Fang Yu silently recited the incantation, and a blue light emanated from his fingertip.

Then, the water in the glass began to ripple.

Gradually, the water changed from clear and pure to murky.

At this point, Fang Yu could see that there were some paper fragments in the water.

Talisman fragments?

Fang Yu’s mind stirred, immediately understanding the hidden purpose of this bottle of mineral water.

Dissolving talismans in water, then using the talismans that enter the body to accomplish certain things.

Next, Fang Yu again examined his own soul spirit internally.

His soul spirit emitted a faint golden light, crystal clear, showing no abnormalities.

Although he had drunk most of the glass of water containing dissolved talismans, the power of the talismans was too weak to enter Fang Yu’s soul spirit.

“I need to give her the illusion of success to see what she’s trying to do.”

Fang Yu took out a yellow paper, wrote on it rapidly, and quickly created a talisman.

Then, he formed hand seals and burned the talisman.

A shadowy figure immediately appeared in the air.

This was an empty soul spirit created by Fang Yu.

“Now transfer the talisman power from my body into this empty soul spirit, and it’s done,” Fang Yu’s face showed a hint of playful smile.

Without a doubt, he would soon be able to track down the Shamanic God Cult’s lair.

Song Liuge left South Capital University and walked alone along the road.

After walking for about twenty minutes, on a sparsely populated road, she suddenly turned left into a small alley.

The alley led to a dead end, but at the deepest part, strange array symbols were engraved on the ground.

Song Liuge walked to the array, stood at the center, took out a talisman from her pocket, and held it between her palms.

Then, Song Liuge recited an obscure incantation.

“Whoosh!”

The talisman between her hands suddenly slipped, burning rapidly in the air and turning to ashes.

At the same time, the array beneath Song Liuge’s feet emitted a strange light.

“Swoosh!”

In the next second, Song Liuge was completely covered in light and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Song Liuge appeared in a desolate wooded area.

About thirty meters ahead was an abandoned building.

Song Liuge walked into the building.

“Honorable Holy Maiden.”

Two men wearing purple robes immediately bowed down to pay their respects to Song Liuge.
