even their own daughter. They knew that such an extraordinary person as Xiao Yu didn’t like others knowing too much about him; if they told their daughter, they feared she might blab and bring troubl...Chapter 643: Farewell

After Xiao Yu had thoroughly processed the aura and memories of tonight's ghosts, he got up and walked towards the basement.

In the basement, the oppressive yin energy was still abundant. As soon as Xiao Yu entered the basement, several black wisps of smoke began to seep out from under the Umbrella of Aggregated Yin.

When someone approached Xiao Yu's villa earlier, both Earth Ghost and Water Ghost felt it too but decided not to come out upon receiving Xiao Yu’s telepathic instructions telling them to stay put. Additionally, they sensed that one of the visitors was a cultivator, so they did not leave.

As for Xiao Yu, these ghosts had no worries at all. After all, the three magical artifacts in Xiao Yu's possession were so miraculous even Zhong Kui hadn’t fully comprehended them yet. Furthermore, Xiao Yu’s strength had been growing rapidly; therefore, they did not worry about anything happening to him.

"Grandmaster Celestial Official," these ghosts floated into the air and bowed deeply towards Xiao Yu as they said this.

Before, when Xiao Yu had told Water Ghost and the others that there was no need for them to kneel, although they insisted on it, he had firmly changed their minds with his command.

It was precisely because of Xiao Yu’s insistence that even though they did not kneel now, they still felt that etiquette should be observed. Therefore, they all performed a deep bow instead of kneeling.

Xiao Yu saw that there was no point in insisting and let them do as they wished. After all, it was better than them kneeling because he viewed Earth Ghost and Water Ghost not as servants but as brothers or elders.

"Earth Ghost, Water Ghost, bring Zhang Ling out!" Xiao Yu said to the two ghosts after they had straightened up.

Actually, today he already knew who that middle-aged couple was. Moreover, since seeing those cultivators, he had roughly guessed their intentions. However, upon observing these visitors’ cultivation levels, he didn’t believe they could safely reunite Zhang Ling’s soul with her body, so Xiao Yu hadn’t even mentioned it to them; waiting for an opportunity to personally return her soul to its place.

Earth Ghost muttered something in his mouth for a moment. A black mist then emerged from the Umbrella of Aggregated Yin and formed into the figure of a female ghost dressed in white in mid-air.

"Big Brother Celestial Official!" The female ghost in white exclaimed happily upon seeing Xiao Yu, though she could only remain inside the villa for now. Nevertheless, she felt that her life had improved quite a bit compared to before. In this villa, she used to have no one to talk to except some low-ranking ghosts like soldiers and officers, but recently Dai Yuxin’s arrival gave her someone to keep her company.

And it was also due to Zhang Ling's company that Dai Yuxin could endure the loneliness in this underground tomb and continue practicing there.

"Zhang Ling, your parents have returned to the country, and your physical body is not dead either. I plan to help your soul return this time, so you won't be in this half-human, half-ghost state anymore!"

Hearing Zhang Ling's cry, Xiao Yu nodded and said.

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, the whole underground tomb became quiet. Whether it was Earth Ghosts or Water Ghosts, as well as these ghost soldiers and officers, their expressions turned a bit gloomy. They were originally not many friends in this world of spirits, and after interacting with Female Ghost Zhang Ling over this period of time, they had developed feelings towards her. Therefore, hearing Xiao Yu's words left them feeling uneasy.

Although they felt bad, no one said anything about it. This was good for Zhang Ling because she wasn't truly a ghost due to that thread of yang qi in her body; returning to her physical body was the best option for her. Moreover, who would want to be a ghost if they had a choice

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, a hint of joy appeared on Zhang Ling's face, but it quickly faded as she thought about these friends she had gotten close with over this long period of time.

"Stupid little sister, be happy. Returning to your body is a good thing, and besides, your parents must have been worried sick for you. Going back early would make them feel better too; we will all be very happy!"

Seeing Zhang Ling's expression, the ghost officer floated over and said to her. Before Xiao Yu had subdued them, they had become sworn siblings, so their bond was the strongest among all of them. Although this ghost officer felt reluctant too, he knew that he couldn't selfishly prevent Zhang Ling’s soul from returning just because of his reluctance.

"Say your goodbyes and tomorrow morning I will come to take her away." After seeing how they looked, Xiao Yu sighed slightly and said.

After saying this, Xiao Yu left here, leaving the remaining time for them. After Zhang Ling left, it would likely be impossible to meet again.

"Humans and ghosts follow different paths!" When Zhang Ling's soul returned to her body and woke up later on, they wouldn't be in the same world anymore.

The next morning, Xiao Yu came to the underground tomb again. As soon as he entered the tomb, he saw all the spirits that were originally living in the Gathering Yin Umbrella floating in mid-air talking with Zhang Ling.

Seeing Xiao Yu come in, these spirits turned their gazes toward him. Zhang Ling looked back at them with reluctance before floating over to Xiao Yu.

"Take care of yourself, little sister!"

"Please take care too, big sister!

The ghost soldiers and generals all nodded at her when they saw Zhang Ling looking at them.

The earth ghost and water ghost merely nodded at her. They had been around for nearly a millennium; what kind of parting had they not seen Besides, this was not even a true farewell; it was similar to how the earth ghost felt only a little sentimental when Wan Hongguang's daughter left.

After Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes, his spirit gradually rose from his head. In his hand was the Book of Spirits.

After muttering an incantation, he opened the Book of Spirits in his hands, and Zhang Ling turned into a black mist that flew inside it. As soon as Xiao Yu's spirit closed the Book of Spirits, he immediately returned to his body.

After slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Yu looked at these spirits and said, "This is good for her. All of you go back to cultivate!"

"Yes, Grandmaster Nu," the spirits sighed when they heard what Xiao Yu had said before turning into black mists that flew into the Umbrella Gathering Yin. They knew what Xiao Yu meant by this; even though they did know it, there was a faint sense of loss in their hearts, so they quickly returned to the Umbrella Gathering Yin.

Xiao Yu could understand how these spirits felt: from then on, even if he met them again, he would not be able to recognize them. This feeling made him feel sad too, so when he saw them return to the Umbrella Gathering Yin, he turned around and left the crypt.

After leaving the crypt, Xiao Yu headed towards Jin Xianglin’s house. When he reached Jin Xianglin's place, the security guard at the entrance did not stop him; they had already received orders from Xiao Jingru and Jin Xianglin to allow him free access to their home.

After Xiao Yu entered, the security guard made a phone call, so when Xiao Yu arrived outside Jin Xianglin’s villa, Jin Xianglin, Xiao Jingru, and the middle-aged couple all came out.

"Doctor Xiao, please come in quickly!" When Jin Xianglin saw Xiao Yu, he immediately smiled and invited him inside.

"Heh heh, Mr. Jin, Ms. Xiao, I'm disturbing you," said Xiao Yu with a light laugh when he heard their words before nodding at the middle-aged couple behind Jin Xianglin.

"How can it be considered an intrusion Doctor Xiao's visit is exactly what we wish for!" Said Xiao Jingru with a light chuckle as she turned to open the door of the villa and invited them in.

As soon as they entered the living room, two cultivators came down from upstairs. When they saw Xiao Yu, their legs involuntarily weakened; after returning home last night, they regretted going to Xiao Yu's place. Although they witnessed a grand battle, it also planted seeds of disaster for them.

Because of the shock from what happened at night, they were unable to sleep after returning home and only fell asleep when it was already dawn. However, they woke up just two or three hours later.

Xiao Yu gave them a light glance before sitting down on the sofa.

The middle-aged couple hurried over to them as soon as they saw the two people come downstairs and were about to ask something when these cultivators recognized what the middle-aged couple wanted to know. They abruptly changed their expressions and stopped them from speaking.

Though the middle-aged couple was puzzled by this, they didn’t dare defy them. Even though they had money, when faced with these mysterious people, they weren’t willing to be brash. Hence, after being stopped, they didn't say anything more.

The two cultivators naturally wanted to stop the middle-aged couple from speaking. Although this place was very far from where Xiao Yu and his group were sitting, they did not think that such a distance could hide things from Xiao Yu's ears.

The middle-aged couple came over with confusion while these cultivators greeted Xiao Yu respectfully when they reached him.

"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, right I'm a doctor, and last night after you left, Mr. Jin specifically called me to tell me about your daughter's condition. If necessary, I can examine her."

After sitting down, Xiao Yu said this to the middle-aged couple.

The moment Xiao Yu spoke, not only did the middle-aged couple become stunned but so did Jinxialin and his wife. After all, they were very clear that no one called Xiao Yu about it. But what was he trying to say then

But in a short while, they understood what Xiao Yu meant and knew that this was him planning to take action. Hence, when mentioning them, he could also do them a favor.

However, they gladly accepted this favor, so they quickly laughed at the middle-aged couple, saying, "Hehe, Uncle Zhang, you're lucky! Yesterday I called Doctor Xiao and without hesitation, he agreed to treat your daughter. With Doctor Xiao's hand, your daughter will surely recover!"

"Er …" Hearing Jinxialin’s words, a hesitant expression appeared on the middle-aged couple’s faces. It wasn't that they didn’t believe in Xiao Yu; it was just that their daughter’s disease had already surpassed the capabilities of any doctor, no matter how famous or well-connected they were.

They knew about their daughter's condition and understood that it couldn't be treated by ordinary doctors.
