Chapter 417: Qiao Nanyuan Causes Trouble, Summoning an Evil Messenger


Li Manning knew she was no match for Qin Ruan, but she was unwilling to accept it.


Clearly, she was given hope, shown a glimmer of light, and now she was disappointed again.


Her waiting had been in vain, and how could she be content or not angry?


Li Manning stared at Qin Ruan with bloodshot eyes, filled with accusation. "But you promised to help me find Xiao Bao!"


Qin Ruan glanced at her sideways and spoke slowly and deeply. "Just because I didn't know about the rules of Maoshan Sect beforehand, which prohibited Uncle Qiao from taking action, doesn't mean I won't help you find Xiao Bao."


These words calmed Li Manning, and the red glow in her eyes gradually faded. "Really?"


"I promised you, and I won't break my word."


The bloodthirst surrounding Li Manning also gradually dissipated.


Qiao Nanyuan stepped forward and said to Li Manning, "Tell me your son's date of birth."


"Uncle Qiao?" Qin Ruan turned around, looking surprised at him.


Qiao Nanyuan reassured her, "It's okay, this doesn't count as assisting the ghost for cruelty. It won't harm anyone."


Qin Ruan was still worried and frowned. "Are you sure?"


"Rest assured."


Li Manning quickly reported Xiao Bao's date of birth.


Qiao Nanyuan turned to Qiao Jiu and instructed, "Close all the curtains."


"Okay!"


Qiao Jiu rushed over and closed the curtains of the French windows, then went to close the door to the dining room and blocked the light.


She ran back and forth several times, and the hall plunged into darkness.


Qiao Nanyuan's voice sounded in the darkness. "Light a candle in the southeast position."


"Understood, Master!" Qiao Jiu's voice came from a distance.


Soon, a flickering light appeared in the southeast direction.


In the darkness, Lin Hao stood closely behind Qin Ruan. With his height of over 1.8 meters, he was slightly bent over, in a protective stance.


Since entering, everything he had seen and heard had overturned his worldview.


It was too terrifying, too chilling, and too mysterious!

Who could tell him what exactly had happened?


Even Lin Hao, who was unafraid of death, could only hide behind Qin Ruan in the darkness.


Sensing his unease and nervousness, Qin Ruan turned her head, and her black, bright eyes stared at Lin Hao. "Are you scared?"


Lin Hao swallowed and his voice became hoarse. "Qin Xiaowu, what exactly are you guys doing?"


Qin Ruan's eyes contained a smile, and her deep and dark eyes were especially prominent in this dim hall.

She chuckled and said, ''Clearly, it's summoning a spirit.''


"Is it for real?!'' Lin Hao exclaimed in disbelief.


Before Qin Ruan could reply, Qiao Nanyuan took action.


He bowed in the four directions, then inserted the lit incense he had in his hand into the incense burner held by Qiao Jiu.


Qiao Jiu stood still in her place, with a solemn expression.


Qiao Nanyuan took out something white from his pocket and started sprinkling it on the ground, walking and sprinkling in the order of east, south, west, and north.


At that moment, Qiao Jiu spoke, ''Heaven and earth, spirits abound. In the realms of Yin and Yang, let the ghost spirit be seen. Today, we seek the true spirit. May all directions assist and reveal the true spirit. Great Lord Laojun, act swiftly as commanded!''


As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Nanyuan immediately recited Little Bao's birth details and called out his name.


After completing a full circle, Qin Ruan finally realized that the substance being sprinkled on the ground was ordinary rice.


Just the kind of rice that every household eats.


Qiao Nanyuan completed a full circle without any anomalies. He didn't stop his footsteps and continued walking while calling Little Bao's name.


This time, he had only walked half a circle when he noticed something unusual.


Along the path of the scattered rice, there was a small, frail figure closely following behind Qiao Nanyuan.


Even Lin Hao, an ordinary person, could clearly see that figure.


"Qin, Qin Xiaowu, what is th...''

Lin Hao didn't finish his sentence as Qin Ruan forcefully covered his mouth.


She leaned closer and whispered a warning in his ear, ''Shut up, don't make any noise to startle it.''


Lin Hao's eyes widened in fear and astonishment.


He watched as a small figure appeared, following closely behind Qiao Nanyuan.


Perhaps because he made a sound, that thing with a sinister and malicious gaze stared directly at him, as if it wanted to devour him.


Lin Hao not only refrained from speaking, he didn't even dare to breathe, his fearful gaze locked with the small puppet in the darkness.


Qin Ruan turned her head and calmly stared at the summoned ghost with her cold eyes.


The ghost seemed to fear Qin Ruan. It floated away from the path of the rice and shrank into the darkness.


Seeing it about to escape, Qin Ruan frowned and reached out to catch it.


But Qiao Nanyuan was faster than her. Just as the ghost was about to disappear into the darkness, he used the binding treasure of the Maoshan Sect, the Binding Immortal Rope, to restrain it.


A piercing scream filled the spacious living room. The sound was sharp, almost piercing through everyone's eardrums.


Qiao Nanyuan strode towards the puppet and commanded sternly, ''Qiao Jiu, turn on the lights!''


"Understood, Master!''

The living room light was suddenly turned on, revealing a scene in the southeast corner that caught everyone's attention.


They saw a peculiar-looking little ghost, bound by celestial ropes, struggling and screaming relentlessly, unable to break free.


Upon seeing the true face of the little ghost, Li Manning stood frozen in place for a long time without reacting.


Her son was well-behaved and adorable, with delicate and beautiful features.


But the little ghost in front of her didn't resemble a human at all. While screaming, it revealed a mouth full of sharp, tiny teeth, which looked quite terrifying.


She wanted to retrieve the soul of her deceased son, Xiao Bao, not a little monster.


Just as Qiao Nanyuan reached the front of the little ghost, two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a dark mist and a chilling aura.


"Who dares to be so audacious as to summon souls from the netherworld!"


The two emissaries from the underworld appeared, their eyes gleaming ominously as they stared at Qiao Nanyuan. The soul-locking chains in their hands began to stir.


If Qiao Nanyuan didn't give a satisfactory answer, they seemed ready to drag him into the underworld.


Qiao Nanyuan was dumbfounded. He had only helped a female ghost that retained the soul of her deceased son in the mortal realm. How did he manage to summon emissaries from the underworld as well?


Even if their ancestors were present, it would be impossible to summon the officials of the underworld.


Qiao Nanyuan felt a great sense of fear. He clasped his hands together and slightly bowed to the two emissaries, "I am a disciple of Mount Mao. Today, I unintentionally summoned a little ghost. I had no idea it was already a soul from the underworld. I sincerely apologize to both of you."


"Do you think a mere apology can resolve this matter?!" The emissary on the left stared displeasingly at Qiao Nanyuan, clearly not easily appeased.

"We are responsible for guarding the souls of the netherworld. Coming here once has already interfered with our duties. How can we report this to our superiors? If you summon more souls from the netherworld, you might have to accompany us and personally apologize to the King of the Underworld!"


Qiao Nanyuan tightly pursed his lips, his face stiff. It was evident that he was shaken by the words of the two emissaries.


He was aware of his own abilities and knew he couldn't summon souls from the netherworld and disturb the emissaries of the underworld.


Looking not far away at the little ghost bound by celestial ropes, it was indeed an entity from the underworld.


It seemed that he had truly caused trouble this time.


Just as he was trying to find a way to escape, Qin Ruan walked over slowly.


There will be an update during the day.
