Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 523 - 521: Sinister Schemes

Nanming Yueye thought too much about revenge.

Every time she thought of the stolen Nanming Li Fire and her ruined coming-of-age ceremony, she couldn’t sleep at night.

Finally finding the enemy, Nanming Yueye was somewhat excited.

"I’ll deal with these things first and then talk to you." With these words, Nanming Yueye turned and left directly.

Mo Lin watched Nanming Yueye’s back with a complicated mood.

Not knowing how to talk to Nanming Yueye about the Nanming Li Fire.

Say that it wasn’t Mo Lin who stole the Nanming Li Fire?

There’s always a feeling that even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash clean.

But always avoiding won’t do either.

Watching Nanming Yueye’s disappearing figure, Mo Lin decided to clarify everything next time they meet.

Mo Lin led Yun Xue’xue and others into Jinchuan.

A graceful silhouette stood in the corner, and she had been waiting there for a long time.

This woman was Yingying.

Yun Xue’xue exclaimed when she saw Yingying, "A Jiangzhou person?"

"Isn’t this the Dao Ancestor?" Yun Xue’xue carefully examined Yingying.

Unfortunately, Yingying now was just an empty shell; although Mo Lin’s soul resided in her body, it was just a wisp of soul.

Unable to fully unleash Yingying’s complete strength.

If a complete soul occupied Yingying’s body, then the full power of Jiangzhou people could be exerted.

Quite unfortunate.

Yingying pointed east and said to Mo Lin, "There’s a teahouse over there, Xin Ziruo has been inside for seven days and I haven’t seen her come out. I felt something was odd, so I called you over."

Mo Lin had her keep an eye on Xin Ziruo, and Yingying always followed Mo Lin’s instructions, secretly watching Xin Ziruo.

But Xin Ziruo had stayed in a teahouse for seven days without a trace, making Yingying very puzzled.

Yingying was afraid to go inside and check, fearing she might alarm Xin Ziruo.

But if she didn’t go in and check, she wouldn’t know whether Xin Ziruo was still in the teahouse.

Not sure what to do, Yingying called Mo Lin.

The current issue is going inside might alert Xin Ziruo; if not, it’s unclear whether Xin Ziruo has left.

"You’ve worked hard, I’ll go check myself, rest well."

With these words, Mo Lin handed a Spirit Pill to Yingying.

Yingying’s eyes showed bloodshot and even had dark circles.

Due to the fatigue in Yingying’s eyes, when she spoke, even tears were visible in her eyes.

It’s clear Yingying hadn’t rested properly during this period.

She was in a living body, needed to eat and rest.

Not resting long-term, her body couldn’t withstand it.

Yingying accepted the Spirit Pill from Mo Lin and consumed it, seriously saying "Thank you."

Afterwards, Yingying turned and left to rest.

She needed to quickly recover strength, so if Mo Lin and Xin Ziruo fought later, she’d be ready to help.

Mo Lin led Yun Xue’xue and others directly to the teahouse Yingying had pointed out before.

The teahouse wasn’t large, probably just over a hundred square meters.

Mo Lin entered the teahouse and saw many people drinking tea.

Mo Lin scanned the room but didn’t see Xin Ziruo.

So Mo Lin went to the second floor.

The second floor was very empty, with only a woman sitting by the window.

But that woman was not Xin Ziruo.

Mo Lin furrowed his brows, even thinking with his toes, he could guess that Xin Ziruo noticed Yingying’s tracking and managed to escape under her nose by some means.

At this moment, a nameless fury surged in Mo Lin’s heart.

"Xin Ziruo, why are you hiding from me?"

"Can’t we have a resolution to our grievances?"

Doing all sorts of things to disgust me, then deliberately avoiding me?"

Mo Lin growled through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Mo Lin’s anger towards Xin Ziruo reached its peak.

This Xin Ziruo really had a sick mind.

Her grievance with Mo Lin could have had a straightforward resolution. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

But this Xin Ziruo either schemed from behind or hid away so Mo Lin couldn’t find her.

Then, with or without reason, she’d disgust Mo Lin.

No normal person would do such things.

Insidious and deceitful, these words fit Xin Ziruo best.

Xin Ziruo was definitely the most cunning person.

"Are you Mo Lin?" The gray-clad woman sitting by the window asked Mo Lin as she slowly turned her head.

This woman had a pancake face with many freckles, single eyelids, and small eyes.

Her appearance could be described as ugly.

"I’m Xin Xiao, my master is Xin Ziruo." The woman voluntarily introduced herself to Mo Lin.

As soon as he heard this, Mo Lin’s head trembled and fury surged in his heart.

The Netherworld’s Nether Fire appeared instantly, directly enveloping Xin Xiao.

The temperature in the air gradually rose.

A woman he’d never met suddenly called out Mo Lin’s name, claiming to be Xin Ziruo’s apprentice.

Wasn’t this too coincidental?

Mo Lin suddenly guessed something, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "So it’s another of that vile woman’s tricks, Xin Ziruo, huh?"

Only a sinister woman like Xin Ziruo would use such underhanded methods.

No doubt, this was Xin Ziruo’s calculated plan.

Knowing she was watched by Yingying, Xin Ziruo arranged such a thing to attract Mo Lin over.

What a scheming bitch.

"What other tricks does Xin Ziruo have to deal with me?" Mo Lin coldly asked Xin Xiao.

"It’s not really a trick, just some means by my master." Xin Xiao slowly shouted downstairs: "Yueye, the one who stole the Nanming Li Fire is here, come up."

With Xin Xiao’s voice, heavy footsteps came from the stairs.

A woman holding a Red Tassel Spear ascended to the second floor.

This short-haired woman with a Red Tassel Spear emanating Evil Qi was Nanming Yueye.

Nanming Yueye froze for a long time upon seeing Mo Lin.

Her pitch-black eyes stared intensely at Mo Lin, her hand clenched tightly around the Red Tassel Spear, biting her red lips.

"He is Mo Lin, he stole your Nanming family’s Nanming Li Fire.

You can avenge now." Xin Xiao said slowly to Nanming Yueye.

This was Xin Ziruo’s insidious trick against Mo Lin.

Using a borrowed knife to kill.

Seeing Nanming Yueye, Mo Lin furrowed his brow; what he feared had come.

Xin Ziruo was truly vile.

Mo Lin had interacted with Nanming Yueye before, and her strength was not inferior to Mo Lin’s.

"Why is it you?" Nanming Yueye bit her lips, blood slowly flowing from her lips.

"Mo Lin..." Nanming Yueye shouted, her arm trembled suddenly as she swung the Red Tassel Spear at Mo Lin.

"Actually, I’m not..," Mo Lin’s words were interrupted midway.

"Did you deliberately approach me to gain my favor and then have me forgive you?"

Nanming Yueye was blinded by rage, unable to hear anything.

Nanming Yueye shouted angrily at Mo Lin, "Truly a treacherous villain.

At my coming-of-age ceremony, stealing the Nanming Li Fire, and now deliberately approaching me, do you have another malicious intent?"

No wonder she overthought.

Mo Lin possessed the Nanming Li Fire and deliberately approached her; anyone would associate things.
