"They're here, they're here!"
The young man snapped back to reality at the shout. Without another thought, he quickly trotted to catch up.
On the way, he covertly glanced at the Master from time to time, waiting for her to ask for his dormitory location.
The result, naturally, disappointed him, because the Master walked even more expertly than he did. After a few minutes of winding turns, the two arrived at the dormitory entrance.
The young man had a chilling premonition, because he had never once mentioned his dormitory room number. So, had the Master calculated all of this?
At this moment, his reverence for the Master could be said to have reached its peak.
As if hearing the commotion outside, the dormitory door creaked open, and a mop of yellow hair, like seaweed, poked out from inside. The person cautiously assessed the scene.
When he clearly saw who had arrived, the latter first froze, then his face broke into surprise.
"Li Xin? How did you come back so quickly? Did you get the Peace Talisman?"
Though there was doubt in his eyes, after all, going to the Taoist Temple and returning would take at least three or four hours. How long had this person been gone? Less than two hours, right? How could he be back already?
Li Xin, the young man who had gone to the Taoist Temple for help, shook his head and said, "Peace Talisman I didn't get, but I managed to bring the Master here."
The Peace Talisman he had taken had already turned to ashes, so he naturally hadn't obtained one.
And when he spoke of inviting the Master, a hint of pride inevitably appeared on his brow. One couldn't blame him.
The current situation was essentially like being asked to find someone who could make a Lu Ban Lock, and you ended up bringing Lu Ban himself?
The latter's expression upon hearing this was so astonished his jaw could drop. Following Li Xin's gaze, he noticed the small child accompanying him and immediately greeted respectfully, "Master!"
Their entire dormitory consisted of devout fans of the livestream, so they naturally recognized the Master's appearance.
To think he actually managed to invite her! He froze for a moment, then was overcome with joy.
Knowing that the Master had arrived, the trouble would surely be resolved. After all, no one could remain calm knowing there was a harmful Malevolent Ghost nearby.
"Please come in quickly, don't let the dorm supervisor see you."
The latter suddenly remembered something and hastily opened the door wide.
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Yaoyao nodded at him and walked straight in. The two behind her followed.
The dormitory wasn't large to begin with, and with everyone standing, it felt quite crowded.
"Greetings, Master!" At this moment, the other four people in the room all stood up.
The room was small, and they had clearly heard the commotion at the door.
A look of novelty appeared in their eyes. Before, they had only seen her on the livestream; they hadn't expected to be this close. This caught them off guard, and they felt the nervousness of facing an idol directly.
Yaoyao nodded slightly in response, then walked directly to a wardrobe.
She turned and looked at Li Xin, saying, "Big Brother, please open the wardrobe for me."
"Okay!" The shock from the journey had already accustomed Li Xin to the Master's ability to discover anything.
He walked to the desk without hesitation, casually pulled open one of the drawers, and rummaged for a key. Clearly, the owner of this wardrobe was none other than him.
"Third Bro, what are you hiding in your wardrobe?"
"Aren't we supposed to be dealing with the Malevolent Ghost? Why are we checking the wardrobe now?"
"Who knows? Maybe the clue is in the wardrobe? It's not our first day seeing the Master's livestream style. If she's checking, there must be something wrong."
The remaining few people in the dormitory exchanged glances, instantly dispelling any doubts, and then squeezed closer.
After all, for them, even if there was nothing wrong inside, checking a friend's wardrobe was still quite thrilling. If it weren't for the Master's presence, they wouldn't usually have a chance to look.
"Can't you guys wish me some good fortune for once?" Li Xin couldn't help but feel a vein twitch at his roommates' schadenfreude.
At this moment, his movements weren't slow. He deftly unlocked it, then turned his gaze back. He said to Yaoyao, "Master, the wardrobe is open for you. Please see if there's any problem inside?"
He was so straightforward, mainly because there were no unspeakable secrets hidden in his wardrobe.
The eyes of the few people in the dormitory also looked over, and they found that the wardrobe was organized neatly and tidily, with clothes even sorted into categories.
At first glance, there really was nothing to criticize.
"Didn't expect you to be so particular, kid!"
The few people in the dormitory who were making a ruckus had initially thought there would be some excitement to watch, but seeing this, they suddenly felt a sense of great disappointment.
At this moment, Yaoyao, who had been silent, fixed her gaze on a trench coat at the very bottom of the wardrobe.
She raised her hand and, though more than a meter away, was able to remotely pull out only the trench coat.
This action could be said to have left the others dazed and bewildered. When they came back to their senses, they saw Yaoyao pull out a two-finger wide, greyish-white Bone Domino from an unknown part of the trench coat.
Seeing the heavy Yin Qi swirling around it, Yaoyao's brows relaxed slightly. She had finally found it!
This was also the reason why she didn't go directly to the washroom where the incident occurred, but came to the dormitory instead.
Because the faint Yin Qi on the young man who came to the Taoist Temple was exactly the same as that on the tile.
This item felt cool to the touch. One couldn't discern anything from its surface, but the moment she held it, Yaoyao guessed its origin.
Coupled with the young man's slightly bizarre Life Palace, she roughly pieced together the full story of the incident.
"This... what is this?"
Compared to Yaoyao's grasp of the situation, Li Xin was somewhat bewildered.
He had no idea that his trench coat actually concealed such an item.
However, he wasn't stupid. He had invited the Master to remove evil spirits. Yet, the Master wanted to search his wardrobe, and then found this item. This clearly indicated an inevitable connection between this item and the Malevolent Ghost that was trying to harm him.
As for what it was? He hadn't had time to guess when he heard the Master explain first.
"This is a Bone Domino made from a corpse!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason that ghost came after you is because you had the aura of its remains on you."
"It mistook you for the culprit who killed it!"
Yaoyao said, looking at the young man before her, and this explanation shocked the dormitory into dead silence.
