The power of the jade talisman was weakening with Hong Ji's impact, but Hong Ji's own power was also dissipating. She could no longer maintain her previous form."Ah!" a shrill cry echoed, the previous...Ripple looked at her daughter's face, which was as red as a monkey's bottom, and her expression was somewhat indescribable.
"Mom, do I look good"
Song Qingmei, seeing her mother staring at her face, immediately showed off.
"Well, it's not bad. It will look even better on stage."
The ripples spoke words of disloyalty.
Then she was pulled into the hall by her daughter. After settling the two of them, Qingmei went back to the backstage. Their class's performance was the third one, which was considered relatively early, so they had to wait in the wings in advance.
After Liàn Yī brought Dà Bǎo to sit down, she smiled and greeted the people beside her. She also casually asked what programs there were. When she learned that Feng Nián Huá's poetry recitation was in the second half, she held Dà Bǎo with peace of mind and began to watch the program.
Although the program was simple and the sound quality wasn't great, the children were full of energy and performed with great passion. After each performance, Lianyi would clap for Dabao with enthusiasm.
After Zheng Mei finished her performance, she came back to find Lian Yi. Lian Yi spoke in a low voice:
You’re watching the show with the eldest, I have a stomachache, going to the restroom.
"Turn right out of the auditorium, the restrooms are in the corner on the south wall."
"Okay, I see people have been here before. You take good care of the big one."
Ripple gave one last instruction, then disappeared.
She didn't go to the restroom, but instead slipped into the back room. After scanning her surroundings, she saw Feng Nianhua posing with his hands raised in a corner.
She walked straight over and said:
"Hello, Feng!"
Feng Nianhua heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Song Qingmei's mother. A flicker of unnaturalness crossed his face, he coughed lightly, and then asked:
"Aunt, hello. May I ask what you need from me"
"Feng, there are some things I'd rather not say here. Could you come with me for a few minutes It'll only take five, and it's about the love letter you wrote to my daughter."
Liàn yī naturally saw the unwillingness on Feng Nián huá's face, so he immediately gave him a reason he couldn't refuse.
Those love letters Song Qingmei originally planned to burn were seen by Lian'er, who kept one as evidence of the other party pursuing her daughter.
Of course, Song Qingmei was still more reserved and didn't specifically reply to Feng Nianhua, otherwise it would cause some minor trouble.
Sure enough, Feng Nianhua's face changed when he heard the words "love letter," and he immediately followed Lianyi out of the backstage obediently.
After they found a secluded spot, Lian Yi spoke first:
"Feng Tongxue, you are older than Qingmei to begin with, and you have experience living in the countryside. I think both you and your family are too complicated, not suitable for our ordinary working-class families."
Qing Mei and you are not a good match, besides you two are still students, it's better to focus on studying.
After what you went through with the robbery, I feel like you lack the responsibility of a man and couldn't protect our Qingmei. I hope you won't bother her anymore in the future!
Otherwise, I don't mind giving your love letter to the teacher or your parents.
Lian Yi's lips moved, her words leaving Feng Nianhua feeling somewhat ashamed. He only lowered his head, not noticing Lian Yi's gaze.
Although she kept talking, it was just to distract Feng Nianhua. Her gaze swept across him before finally settling on his neck.
Because she was bowing her head, the section of red rope on her neck was very obvious to her eyes. Lian Ri raised her hand and summoned a strand of spiritual energy, attaching it to the red rope and finally gathering it onto the black bead.
With a *crack*, Lian Ri's ears twitched. It was probably the bead that housed the evil soul, shattered by her. However, Feng Nianhua didn't notice it.
A pearl-sized black dumpling flew out of Feng Nianhua's neck, and the next second it scattered and escaped.
The ripples immediately chased after it, but this time she used her spiritual energy to drive the Death Silk, binding it with black qi and strangling a portion of it. However, some still escaped.
Feng Nianhua's expression was dazed for a moment. When he looked up again, there was no ripple left. He scratched his head and could only return to the backstage alone.
The moment Ripples made her move, Shiju immediately detected it. He quickly pinpointed the direction of the evil spirit and helped Ripples eliminate it.
Unfortunately, the evil spirits were very skilled in soul splitting techniques, and a portion of them still managed to escape.
Ripples tried, but was unable to summon the crimson lotus hellfire of space. In the end, she used an evil dagger to suck up the scattered black qi that had lost control, and only then began to inquire about the whereabouts of the remaining fragments of souls.
"He escaped, and he's even weaker than before. I couldn't find him for a moment, but at his current level of weakness, there's no way he could escape this school."
The stone mill responded very quickly this time.
"Thanks for taking a look at this. Ideally, we could solve this problem all at once. I can't be constantly tailing the evil spirit – it’s not sustainable and it wears everyone out."
"I'll try my best."
The stone mill disappeared with a thud, and the ripples took advantage of the opportunity to return to their own position, taking the eldest child from their daughter's arms.
Three more programs passed, and Feng Nianhua's long-prepared program finally went on stage. Lian Yi looked at the other person's face and shook his head helplessly. He performed worse than Luo Junsheng.
Because the evil spirit has already absorbed the energy of others through Feng Nianhua's hands, it will be counterattacked after being attacked by itself. As the medium abandoned by the evil spirit, Feng Nianhua will also suffer bad luck.
As expected, when Feng Nianhua stood in front of the microphone and recited a single poem, sparks flew out, and the next second, it exploded.
"Ah!!!"
Feng Nianhua's screams echoed throughout the auditorium. Students, teachers, and parents watching the performance were all startled, with some already beginning to run out.
Liàn Yī held Dà Bǎo in her arms with one hand, and grasped Qìng Méi's hand with the other. She spoke in a low voice:
"Don't be afraid, and don't run around. Just stay put."
Qianmei and Dabao were both startled. After hearing Lianyi's words, the two immediately stood beside her.
After the security office arrived, they immediately controlled the situation, sent Feng Nianhua, who was covering his face and howling in pain, to the hospital. The rest of the program couldn't go on because of equipment issues, so this year's school anniversary celebration just ended like that.
The ripples carried Qingmei and Da Bao back home. On the way, Qingmei was still shaken and asked:
"Mom, what happened How come Feng Nianhua just collapsed face-full of blood while I was giving Dabao a candy"
"I've been watching the show all along. It seemed like there was a problem with the microphone, sparking and then eventually exploded for some reason."
Ripple effects of honesty and truth.
"Thank goodness!"
Song Qingmei muttered something under her breath. As for what she was thankful for, it was probably only clear to her.
And the evil spirit, battered by ripples almost to the point of dissipation, in its final moments used the soul-splitting technique to preserve a fragment of its divine soul. Because of this desperate and reckless escape, the evil spirit finally attached itself to a fallen pen, falling into a deep slumber.
"The ripples, the evil spirit has disappeared again."
The millstone replied to the ripples that very night.
He must be seriously injured this time. I feel like the heavens are putting more and more pressure on me when I use spatial magic.
Ripples said calmly.
"The other party should hide again, you can only wait now!"vely normal plane is a way to use Heaven's will to eliminate you."But you're not an ordinary outsider. You have the support of our Time Management Bureau, and with all your merit, you've actually won...
