ANGONESE

The yin-yang ring serves four purposes.

The first move is to recognize the direction, the second move is to recognize good and bad luck, the third move is to recognize yin and yang, and the fourth move is to attract ghosts.

If a ghost really existed, there was no way that the Yin Yang Ring wouldn't be able to detect it.

But the ginseng's appearance did not look like a lie, Jiang Luo thought for a moment, and came up with one last possibility.

It's not a ghost, it's a woman at the bottom.

Tsk, Jiang Luo's interest had risen completely.

However, the door of his room was locked, so Jiang Luo would be discovered tomorrow if he forced his way out. He did not want to be punished by Feng Li at this juncture, so he carried the ginseng doll to the bed and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, there are ghosts underneath. I'll go over and take a look at it again tomorrow at dawn."

The ginseng doll agreed, and did not dare to run away again, lying down on Jiang Luo's side and fell asleep.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, Zhou Wudu brought Wen Renlian to pick up Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo handed the ginseng doll to Zhou Wudu, "Brother Wudu, from now on, this ginseng will be yours to raise."

Zhou Wudu's eyes were wide, unable to contain his joy, "Really?"

"Really." Jiang Luo nodded sincerely.

He doesn't like to bring up children at all.

The ginseng doll looked at him incredulously, its chubby arms and legs flopping about, "How dare you give me to someone else to raise, I'm a ginseng spirit!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you're a ginseng spirit," Zhou Wudu smiled a toothless smile, "you're a little ancestor."

"Oooooooo," the ginseng doll responded to Jiang Luo as a fledgling, rolling back tears, "I want my daddy."

Nay, the dark-haired youth ignored it, concentrating on packing up the bed.

After organizing their things, the group exited the door of the confinement room. Jiang Luo remembered what the ginseng doll had said and returned to the confinement room alone on the pretext that he had forgotten something.

At the end of the corridor, the light does not shine here, slightly dim and gloomy. Jiang Luo did not waste any time, he searched the ground, and could not see anything at first glance.

Jiang Luo thought about the size of a ginseng doll as he patiently searched inch by inch, finding nothing on the ground but a ventilation duct opening in the corner.

The pipe opening is just thick enough for a small ginseng to walk into.

Jiang Luo looks inside, and inside is a circular pipe. The size was a bit of a stretch for him to climb, but it would do.

Jiang Luo was trying to remove the ventilation duct opening when someone from the rear shouted, "Jiang Luo, hurry up!"

Jiang Luo could only give up, he reluctantly used the flashlight to shine inside, a few yellow ginseng juice dripped on the ground. The little ginseng spirit had really escaped from here, and there was another place underneath the ventilation ducts where people were kept.

Jiang Luo whistled mentally.

Feng Li is serious and solemn, while the old Tianshi is kind and friendly. What other secrets are hidden in this Heavenly Master's mansion?

Underneath Feng Li's emotionless and lustless look, there's no chance that he's harboring some kind of perverted fetish, is there?

He pushed down the nice strange itch that scratched his heart, got up, patted the dust off his body, and ran out the door.

The Heavenly Master's House is going to have a lecture today.

Early in the morning, there were many people who rushed to the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

The venue for the lecture was set in the open training ground of the physical training center, and Zhou Wudu came to pick up Jiang Luo so early in the morning in order to take him there to listen to the lecture.

On the way, Zhou Wudu copied, "Every year, there would be two to three lectures in the Tianshi Mansion, and the lecturers would either be the old Tianshi or other direct disciples of the old Tianshi. Our Mister has never gone to lecture. The person who lectured last time was none other than Mister's senior brother, our Second Master."

"Who is lecturing today?" Jiang Luo asked.

"It should be the old Celestial Master," Zhou Wudu looked around and whispered, "The old Celestial Master could love being a human teacher."

When the group arrived at the training ground, the people were already seated to capacity. Each of them was sitting cross-legged on the mats with a look of immense anticipation.

The disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion stood around, giving the place to the guests who had traveled from afar. Standing around, there were also some elders and other personnel from the six great families.

After a while, Feng Li brought Wang Santan over, Jiang Luo said goodbye to his friends, and Zhou Wudu went up to see Feng Li. Feng Li nodded lightly, looked around, and frowned, "The old celestial master hasn't come yet?"

The disciples looked at each other, not daring to speak.

"Not only the old Heavenly Master, a few of your senior uncles haven't arrived either." Feng Li's voice was a bit displeased, "You guys go to the Old Heavenly Master's place and invite all the guests."

The three brothers rushed to the old master's place. After entering the door, Wang Santan said, "I'll go look for the old Heavenly Master, you guys go look for the Senior Uncles, we have to be quick, sir hates it when people are late."

Jiang Luo and Zhou Wudu walked towards where the others were, and Jiang Luo asked, "Brother Wudu, are Mister and the old Heavenly Master related to each other as father and son?"

"No," Zhou Wudu shook his head, "but Mister was raised by the Old Heavenly Master, and if we go by the generation of kinship, Mister is the son of the Old Heavenly Master's own sister, and the nephew of the Old Heavenly Master."

Nephew.

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes, "Then where is mister's mother? It seems like I haven't seen Mister's parents since I've been worshipping the master."

Zhou Wudu's face changed, and he gave him a "shhh" sound, carefully looked around, and saw that no one was there before he breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from the top of his head, "Jiang Luo, don't say this in front of others. Mister and the old Heavenly Master are most reticent about others mentioning Mister's parents, and we don't know where Mister's parents are, this matter is a taboo in the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

He even shivered when he finished, so it was obvious that he was scared to death.

Jiang Luo smiled and said, "I know, thank you for reminding me, senior brother."

There were two places where the guests stayed. Jiang Luo and Zhou Wudu were on one side of the room, and Jiang Luo was walking towards the west side of the house when a man came up to him.

Jiang Luo walked up quickly, but as he got closer, he realized that this person was the same predestined person who had tea with the old celestial master yesterday.

The Fates saw him too.

From afar, it looked as if the predestined man's shoulder hair was covered in a layer of white snow, which colored his eyebrows and eyelashes white as well. But that was just the color of the predestined man's hair.

The background behind the predestined man was clearly green, but he himself looked as if he had just stepped off a snowy mountain, rather like an albino.

Jiang Luo's speed slowed down as the predestined man walked up to him, a pair of gazes that seemed to be over a hundred years old looking at him gently, "What is little friend doing here?"

It's so strange, obviously young looking, but with an elderly demeanor.

Jiang Luo smiled and said, "Mister invited the guests of the old Heavenly Master's Mansion to go to the front to listen to the school."

The Fates nodded in understanding and said gently, "Then let's go."

Jiang Luo said, "I have to go back to the other guests."

The Fated Man suddenly laughed as he said, "I'm the only one who lives here."

Once Jiang Luo froze, he walked back with his nemesis alone.

Halfway there, a bird fell from a nearby tree. The predestined man turned on his heel and walked under the tree to pick up the bird, which was wailing with an injured wing.

The natalist patiently wrapped the bird's broken wing in talisman paper, but the bird continued to chirp, its cries becoming more and more mournful and angry.

The predestined man looked up at the tree and saw spots of blood, he followed the blood to the other side of the tree and saw a young bird that had fallen to its death underneath the tree.

"So it was the death of a young bird and the mother's heartbreak." The Fates sighed sadly, their fingertips gently brushing over the bird's feathers, "It's also pitiful."

Jiang Luo was a precise judge of character, and as he looked at the Fated Man at the moment, he could tell that the Fated Man was truly grieving for a bird.

He is compassionate as if he were accommodating all beings, without a trace of falsehood.

Jiang Luo sighed, a complete polar opposite of Chi You's hypocrisy.

But in the next instant, the Fated One had the bird by the neck, his hands tightening slowly and calmly.

The bird's cries gradually rose to a high pitch, and after a fruitless struggle, eventually fell silent.

Jiang Luo looked at him in shock.

The Fated One noticed the look in his eyes as he looked towards Jiang Luo, confused, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Luo looked at him, and then at the bird, and said, in a single word, "Why did you kill it."

The Fatalist said, "It's not killing."

He smiled, his eyes still as full of pure kindness as ever, "It was in too much pain, I just helped it out of that pain."

He answered so matter-of-factly that Jiang Luo was speechless.

But the Fated One didn't need Jiang Luo's answer; after burying the mother bird and the young bird that had fallen to its death under the tree, he lifted his step and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Luo was still too shaken by that scene just now to want to speak, but the predestined man took the initiative to speak to him, "Your master ancestor thinks highly of you."

"Yes?" Jiang Luo faked a smile, "Thank you Master Ancestor for looking up to me."

"You're a good boy," whispered the Fates, looking at Jiang Luo with a strange look in their eyes, "and one day you'll be famous."

Jiang Luo was looking at him, but remembered the bird that he had crushed to death. What kind of person can take away a life without harboring the slightest bit of malice?

After a long moment, he laughed, "You flatter me."

Tianshi House, inside the study.

There are three people sitting right here.

Feng Li said expressionlessly, "So you suspect that my disciple is possessed by an evil spirit?"

Chi Zhongye's back broke out in a sweat, and he was the first to clear the air, "I didn't say that, Qi Yuan did."

Qi Ye's father, Qi Yuan, hurriedly said, "That was one of my previous thoughts, but Elder Brother Chi is right, Jiang Luo is right under your nose, and there is no way he could be possessed. But I lost the Primordial Heavenly Pearl there, and Qi Ye experienced a car accident last night ......"

His voice trembled, "If it wasn't for the amulet, he would be dead! Qi Ye told me that he saw Chi You in the form of a ghost last night, and Chi You threatened him, and that's why the car accident happened. Feng Heavenly Master, I'm really afraid that Chi You will do something to Qi's family again!"

Feng Li turned the jade trigger in his hand and said slowly, "Chi You Why would you make a move against the Qi family?"

Father Qi and Chi Zhongye looked at each other.

The Heavenly Master's Office was not involved in Chi You's death, and the old Heavenly Master might not have told Feng Li the truth about the incident.

Then they're even less likely to tell the truth.

Chi Zhongye's demeanor straightened and he lowered his voice, "I wonder if the Heavenly Master has ever seen Chi You's soul?"

"I've seen him," Feng Li added, "and he's not to be trifled with."

Chi Zhongye's voice was even lower, "As you can see, Chi You's resentment is very strong."

Feng Li saw it.

At the first sight of Chi You, Feng Li noticed the powerful aura of resentment.

"If you refine an evil spirit with that kind of grievances, your power will be boundless," Chi Zhongye said, "People say that the Chi family is most powerful in puppetry, but in fact it is not, the most powerful should be soul refining, after all, even the souls of the dead can be refined! After all, even the souls of the dead can be refined. ...... As long as Feng Heavenly Master agrees to cooperate with us, we, the Chi family, will surely refine Chi You's soul into your god, or into your weapon."

When you make a deal with a man like Feng Li, you have to put out the benefits.

Feng Li looked over the two men and asked, "What do you want."

Chi Zhongye hastened to say, "We don't need anything from you either. According to what you said, your disciple Jiang Luo has already separated from Chi You, but Chi You is still pestering Jiang Luo ...... These twelve colleges and universities across the country, the first midterm exams are coming up soon. We just want to make some moves on Birch University's midterm exam, use your disciple as bait, and catch Chi You in the midterm exam....... What do you think?"

Father Qi added, "Don't worry, we will never let your disciple get hurt."

Feng Li was lost in thought.

Ryoga nodded, then picked up his tea, signaling a farewell.

The two Qi fathers had the good sense to excuse themselves and leave, and when they were far enough away from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Chi Zhongye asked, "How do you intend to use Jiang Luo to catch Chi You?"

Qi father's face went cold, "Do you really want Jiang Luo to come back alive? Have you forgotten what he once said about avenging Chi You?"

Chi Zhongye, fearful of Feng Li, said apprehensively, "But isn't he estranged from Chi You?"

"Who knows if it's true or not," Qi's father's dark cloud covered his face as he said with a sullen expression, "The safest outcome is to let them have their way and die together in the midterm exam."

"That predestined man?"

"The Fated Man hasn't been down the mountain for twenty-seven years," Father Qi whispered as if he was afraid of alarming something, "He's been on Changbai Mountain since Chi You was born, and we haven't seen him down there in the past few months until after Chi You died."

"Sacrifice a few more people for the future of the metaphysical world, and I'm sure the Fates will understand us."

After the lecture, Jiang Luo and his friends stayed overnight at Tianshifu and went back to school the next day.

The first thing Jiang Luo does when he returns to school is to look at the traps he has set up, but all he sees on the coffee table is an idol heart and a ruby rose pin.

There were scorch marks on the idol's heart, and it looked like the trap had cost Chi You a hand.

Jiang Luo's spirits were lacking as he put his things away. As for that one rose pin, every time he saw it, he would think of that extremely dangerous encounter at the entrance of the alley. Jiang Luo threw the pin directly into the lake.

Chi You If he can still find this, he's completely convinced.

After that, Jiang Luo took a good rest for two weeks. After two weeks, it was time for the midterm exams.

The midterm exams of twelve colleges and universities across the country are synchronized in time, but they are in different locations with different levels of difficulty. When Dean Xu hands them the information, Jiang Luo discovers that the location of the next level turns out to be a luxury sea cruise ship.

The cruise ship is called the Angonese and there is a picture of it below. It has a beautiful and grand appearance, like a beautiful and extravagant noble lady, beautiful and charming enough.

"There are only three kinds of people who can get on board the Angonese cruise ship," Dean Xu held out his finger and said, "One is the crew, and the other two are the commoners and tycoons. You need to play the role of the civilians and the rich and powerful, and join in this nautical tourism without drawing suspicion to complete this examination. The purpose of this mission is to investigate a strange fish."

"Strange fish?"

Dean Xu said, "Yes, a fish called blood eel."

"Upon investigation, the cruise ship traveled every year at this time of year to the depths of the Caribbean, a few miles off the navigational route, where it had reached the open sea. No one knows what happens on the ship, but after each return, many people die on board. But even so, untold numbers of people run to this ship the next year when it sails."

"What's even more odd is that everyone who got on and off the boat kept their mouths shut about the purpose of the trip. It took us a lot of effort to realize that they were going to look for a fish called 'blood eel'."

Dean Xu said seriously, "Qi Ye is injured, he can't participate in this examination. We got eight ship tickets, so I hope you guys can complete your mission and return successfully."

"Of course, the ship's tickets were not purchased with your real information. You are to play your roles from the moment you board the ship. Among the ship's tickets, there are two tickets for the rich and six for the commoners, which you will choose by drawing lots."

Jiang Luo casually drew one, turned it over and saw that it was a rich man's boat ticket.

His fake identity was called "Zhong Wei", Jiang Luo read through the identity card and raised his eyebrows.

"Zhong Wei is a wealthy playboy with good looks, a flamboyant personality and a bold sense of humor. This setup Jiang Luo likes.

Another rich man's ticket was also drawn out, and it was the poor man Ge Zhu. Ge Zhu's hand holding the rich man's ticket trembled slightly, and he choked back tears of surprise: "I never thought I would have such a day!"

Zhuo Zhongqiu tsked and sighed, patting him on the shoulder, "We relied on you and Jiang Luo for relief after we boarded the ship."

President Xu laughed at their antics for a while and clapped his hands, "Alright, alright, all pay attention. The boarding of the Angonese is very strict, and will inspect every guest from the hairline to the teeth, so you guys need to be prepared and not show yourselves."

"Most importantly," Dean Xu laughed harshly, "take good care of your safety."

A few smiles and agreement, "Don't worry Dean."
