Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Case Resolved, Preparing to Re-enter the Underworld

"Little sister, you should go back and discuss this with your parents. They probably aren't completely unaware."

"If you agree, come find me at the Gu family residence in the imperial capital."

Yaoyao understood that revealing the truth so bluntly would be hard for any normal person to accept, but there was no way to beat around the bush, and she wasn't forcing an immediate answer.

As for the parents of the fated person knowing, it undoubtedly meant they knew she was pregnant with twins, but one fetus later stopped developing.

They simply believed her body hadn't sustained it, never imagining that their younger daughter would be tormented by ill-intentioned people using such methods.

"Little sister, I'm heading back now!"

Yaoyao thoughtfully gave her time to think, then, carrying the slumped-over Scarface, she left the room.

Before leaving, she also gave the latter a few Peace Talismans for protection.

Her fate-line was currently weakened by the reduction of Yin energy, and she inevitably felt a bit frail, needing a good period of recuperation.

The Peace Talismans could help her remain free from external evil invasions, which was quite necessary at the moment.

The latter was currently engrossed in self-doubt and had no time to bother with her, and Yaoyao wasn't displeased.

She even considerately closed the door behind her.

"Hmm? How should I handle you?"

After going downstairs, Yaoyao looked at Scarface, whom she was still holding, and instinctively fell into contemplation.

Because Fire Cloud Temple was a small temple, when the old Taoist priest was alive, he was reclusive and had almost no dealings with other sects of the Xuanmen.

And Yaoyao, who took over from him, had even briefly closed the temple doors, naturally making her even less familiar with Xuanmen cultivators.

So, Yaoyao was still a bit troubled about how to send him to the Xuanmen.

However, after just a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, clearly having an idea.

"That's right, I can send him to the Special Operations Team first and let them contact the Xuanmen."

She remembered the team members saying they often dealt with the Xuanmen. Although there were conflicts between them, at least on the surface, they hadn't completely fallen out.

And on matters like raising evil spirits, both sides would definitely maintain consistent views.

In that case, handing him over to them for handling would lead to the same result and save her a lot of trouble.

"Hehe, I'm so smart, that's exactly what I'll do!"

Yaoyao's free little hand waved as if cheering herself on.

She would never admit that she was so eager to pass off responsibility, and more importantly, the guy was just too ugly!

What if she took him home and he scared her mom and brother? That absolutely cannot happen!

So, Yaoyao specifically made a trip to the Special Operations Team headquarters for this.

Because she hadn't notified them beforehand, her sudden appearance almost caused the entire department to be thrown into chaos.

"Master, why have you come? Shall we go to the office to talk?"

Chen Qiushi, as the top leader of the Special Operations Department, showed no airs at all, personally coming downstairs to greet her.

It wasn't that he was fawning; it was simply that this Master was incredibly powerful. It was only right to be respectful to the strong. He glanced at the scar-faced man being carried in her hand and immediately understood the latter's purpose.

She was delivering another achievement for the department!

The Special Operations Bureau was accustomed to such things, their only curiosity being what rank of Xuan Master this one was.

Scarface's cultivation had been crippled, so no one present could discern his level.

"It shouldn't be low. After all, the Master personally intervened."

"The lowest threshold for the past few times has been Sixth-rank. I heard she's even stronger than the Director."

"My goodness, truly worthy of being the Master, every move she makes is astonishing."

The people in the bureau discussed in hushed tones.

Even though they tried to keep their voices low, as cultivators, both Yaoyao and Chen Qiushi had astonishingly good hearing.

These whispers were like covering one's ears while stealing a bell; both of them heard everything clearly.

Especially Chen Qiushi, whose old face turned from white to purple, then purple to black, like a dyeing vat.

Yaoyao shook her head and said, "I won't go upstairs!"

"As for this person? He used living people to refine souls and raise ghosts. Please discuss with the elders of the Xuanmen on how to deal with him, Uncle Chen."

Seeing someone perceiving her measuring gaze, Yaoyao wasn't angry.

She turned her head towards the person in that direction and showed a sweet smile, her cute little dimples instantly making the observer's heart blossom.

"Damn it, these Xuanmen cultivators who don't follow rules, they really deserve to die!"

Unlike the excitement of the team members, Chen Qiushi was immediately filled with rage upon hearing that the latter had killed people to raise ghosts.

Because such acts were too heinous; not only did they kill living people, but even after death, they couldn't find peace.

For those who believed in "the deceased are paramount," this was simply unforgivable.

Chen Qiushi saw the Master staring straight at him. He quickly realized he had lost his composure.

"Master, please rest assured, I will personally handle this matter."

Chen Qiushi was also quite excited. After all, with the culprit caught red-handed, he too stood in a strong position.

Such an opportunity was rare; no matter what, he had to make those high-and-mighty Xuanmen people stumble badly this time.

"Mm-hmm!" Yaoyao nodded, casually handing the person over.

She quite approved of the Special Operations Team's way of doing things, otherwise, she wouldn't have made this special trip.

Throughout the handover process, Scarface didn't struggle at all. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but as an evil cultivator, how could he not know the Special Operations Team's methods?

Let alone with his cultivation completely lost, even if it were still intact, once he entered their lair, there would be no escape.

So, the entire process went incredibly smoothly, and Yaoyao happily became a hands-off manager.

Back at the Gu family residence, she learned that Seventh Brother had already handled the Peace Talisman matter.

Yaoyao happily gave him a bear hug in return.

"Still so polite with your Seventh Brother? That's not right!"

Gu Yu couldn't help but reach out and rub his sister's head. Her soft hair felt as good as ever.

Clearly, he deliberately ignored the fact that his sister was wearing a wig.

"Then Yaoyao won't be polite! From now on, I'll leave this matter to Seventh Brother, how about it?"

Seeing her Seventh Brother being a bit sulky, Yaoyao immediately raised her little hand to promise.

Her soft and cuddly demeanor instantly made Gu Yu's slight displeasure completely vanish.

He nodded in agreement, then added, "Is it time today to send the cats and dogs back down?"

Gu Yu knew that his sister had saved many animal spirits whose souls had been extracted. Fearing she might forget, he proactively kept track for her.

According to his sister, today should be the day, which was why he asked.

Yaoyao was startled for a moment, then nodded in response: "Mm-hmm, their soul injuries have mostly healed. Tonight, I'll send them off."

It was also a good chance to give the old Taoist priest some good news. After all, he had always dreamed of making Fire Cloud Temple flourish.

Now that it was truly thriving, knowing this would make him happy in the underworld.

"Good. When you come back, Seventh Brother will prepare a late-night snack for you," Gu Yu smiled, choosing something important to say.

This matter might seem trivial to others, but for his sister, it was a different story entirely.

Didn't her beautiful eyes light up when she heard the words "late-night snack"?

Clearly, the allure of a late-night snack far outweighed anything else, and Gu Yu was confident in his grasp of his sister's preferences.
