As the golden light covering the sanatorium got weaker and weaker, it was only a matter of time before Gan Jizi pounced on Chen Yang. Just as Chen Yang wanted to summon Zhou Qi, the ghosts burst through the golden light barrier. Kou Xuanling quickly turned on his feet, and blocked them from getting to Chen Yang. The two fought back to back, Kou Xuanling took out his peach wood sword, and conjured up a spell.

Chen Yang: “…… Hear my order, the ghosts will be destroyed and the Gods will be slain. Heaven will arrive immediately to drive away evil. Urgent as Fengdu North Yin Great Emperor’s law. Order!”

Kou Xuanling: “…… Five rampant evil witches and ghosts…… meet the fire of Bingding…… Ten thousand ghosts are destroyed and turned into dust. Urgent like a law!”

Kou Xuanling’s peach wood sword was dipped in the Five Thunder Spirit talisman and cast the great thunder fire into the Gan Jizis. Every time the peach wood sword touched the ghosts and evil spirits, the great thunder fire swept through their bodies. While they were suffering from the thunder fire, Kou Xuanling sucked them into his Taoist instrument so that he could deal with them later.

On the other hand, Zhou Qi appeared at the window of the sanatorium, the Ghost Emperor’s aura made the evil spirits tremble that they did not even dare to move. A soul-binding chain came out from the sleeve of Zhou Qi and the evil spirits inside the room were bound by the chains. Kou Xuanling took the opportunity to slam the door shut, walked back into the room and took a look outside the window, “How are there so many Gan Jizi? Were they man-made?”

Zhou Qi said: “This place used to be a mining site, and then the tunnel collapsed and killed many people. They were all buried at the bottom of the lake. By the earth’s nourishment, they became Gan Jizi. Later, there were Feijiang residing here and they killed many people. Those dead people were thrown into the lake. The Gan Jizi in the lake were cold and hungry, seeing the corpses, they quickly flock to eat. When they taste human flesh, they become evil spirits. They usually hide under the lake to peep at people walking past the lake, then pull them down to eat their flesh and blood when they are not paying attention. Those bones were buried under the lake and became new Gan Jizi.”

Kou Xuanling pulled out his peach wood sword from behind his back and said, “The Fengdu Underworld doesn’t care about this? How many souls were detained here?”

Before Zhou Qi could answer, Chen Yang answered reflexively, “They don’t care. After death, their souls are kept in their human skins, so they are not under the management of Fengdu. It is because they have been nurtured by the earth, gold and moonlight.”

“Yes, not under our jurisdiction.” Zhou Qi nodded his head and internally gave Chen Yang a like. In fact, even though the evil spirits and monsters were not under the jurisdiction of Fengdu, it was not impossible for them to manage them. It’s just that the previous great emperor was an indifferent Buddhist old youth abiding by the rules. The things that should be done are not left unattended, and things that are not his responsibility are ignored. Even if they happen right under his nose he could turn a blind eye. “The Fengdu emperor is not like the Bodhisattva of the Earth, he does not like to take unnecessary matters into his own hands.”

Chen Yang was not too interested in the Fengdu Emperor’s affairs, nodding and echoing Zhou Qi’s words before changing the subject to ask him if he knew the reason for the current bizarre pattern of this place. “People and ghosts live together and there are evil spirits and Gan Jizi. And once there was a Feijiang, how come this place is so full of evil spirits?”

Zhou Qi said, “A Lone Yin Sha, opened the Ghost Gates. This was once a coffin home, later turned into a mental hospital. Over time, it has become a source of Yin energy.” The so-called Lone Yin Sha was a building that was close to a place of Yin origin, or when itself was a place of Yin origin. The lake at the entrance and the Changhe Coffin Home were both places of Yin origin, it also happened that the architectural design had the front door facing the natural Ghost Gate, so it became a prominent source of Yin energy.

This place is a special Lone Yin Sha. Originally, an accident with the tunnel collapsing formed the land here. Then, perhaps because a Feijiang was suppressed here, they built a Coffin Home here. The seal with the Coffin Home broke, and the Feijiang started a killing spree, so that this place was once again drenched in blood. With the previous tragedy, the corpses in the Coffin Home, and the Feijiang all in the same place, a Lone Yin Sha was quickly formed, resulting in the present state with Gan Jizi and evil spirits swarming.

Chen Yang hooked his index finger on the red rope and strung the ancient copper coin back on it. He looked towards the window, “Why did the Gan Jizi rush into the sanatorium?” Knowing full well that touching the golden light seal will turn them into black water, they still went ahead. That should not happen unless there is something in the sanatorium that the Gan Jizi cannot resist.

“Feijiang blood.”

Ordinary Jiangshi do not have blood, but Feijiang have blood. Jiangshi blood has strong Yin energy. A drop can assimilate tens of thousands of people into the lowest level of Jiangshi. For the Gan Jizi, Jiangshi’s blood is a great tonic, enabling them to evolve into Jiangshi who are not afraid of daylight. 

“I’ll deal with the Gan Jizi underneath. You guys deal with the evil spirits in the sanatorium and find the sinful animal pretending to be a Bodhisattva.” Chen Yang stepped onto the windowsill, wrapped the red rope back around his wrist and grabbed his backpack and threw it over his shoulder. With the other hand, he grabbed the jade ring on his neck and pulled it off as he jumped down.

Zhou Qi’s sharp eyes saw the jade ring, and was alarmed by what he caught a glimpse of. He saw Chen Yang nimbly jumping under the moonlight, with a few vertical jumps, he landed on the ground. When the Gan Jizi pounced on him, Chen Yang threw out a spiritual talisman and retreated behind the golden light seal’s protection. Zhou Qi has good eyesight, even from the fourth floor looking down he could see the half jade ring in Chen Yang’s hand clearly, “That’s the Fengdu Emperor’s Jade Seal?” 

Kou Xuanling turned his head: “What did you say?”

Zhou Qi returned to his senses: “Nothing.” After the reply, the two opened the door and split up, moving along the hallway to capture the evil spirits into their weapons. But seeing a room with a nameplate means there is someone living inside. They also did not break in to search, just searched the entire sanatorium and could not find the God of Peace.

Kou Xuanling: “We did not find a shrine dedicated to it in the whole sanatorium.” The God of Peace relies on the incense offerings of its faithful to enhance its magical powers, so it would stay in the place where the incense offerings are the strongest, so he did not expect to not find its shrine at all.

“Inside the rooms are either evil spirits, sick or psychologically distorted people, their hearts were not sincere. Even if there were incense offerings, they were not useful. Besides, it’s indeed safer to hide here because it’s hard to find it.” Zhou Qi flung out his soul-binding chain to bundle the soul that was trying to escape while replying to Kou Xuanling’s question. “You didn’t find anyone suspicious?”

Kou Xuanling thought for a long time and switched directions, “Go this way.” He headed towards the place where Meng Xi was hiding, and Zhou Qi followed.

Chen Yang entered the sanatorium, hooked his tail finger on the red rope and wrapped it around the door frame, his ten fingers hooked the red rope and set up a seal quickly. From the backpack, he took out vermilion, white wine, yellow talismans and a brush. The white wine and vermilion blended together, with a brush dipped in vermilion, he drew on the yellow talismans. His strokes flew through a dozen yellow talismans swiftly. He placed the yellow talismans according to the direction, and finally in the center position, he wrapped the red rope with the ancient copper coins in a piece of yellow talisman.

After thinking about it, Chen Yang dug out the yellow talisman, dipped the jade ring into vermillion to seal the talisman, then he buried the whole thing back into the soil. After he finished putting in the last yellow talisman, Chen Yang pointed his forefinger at the talisman and chanted, “Fengdu…”

There was a loud noise outside, and when he looked up, he saw a Gan Jizi bursting through the door of the sanatorium. The Gan Jizis seemed to smell the Yang energy and pounced in with even more excitement. When they stepped into the formation set by Chen Yang, a golden light appeared from the ground. Chen Yang retreated into the formation to cover up his scent. 

The Gan Jizi eyes were two black holes, they could not see people and could only smell the Yang energy. There were still living people in the sanatorium, so this group of Gan Jizi followed the human aura upstairs. The golden light from the formation kept getting brighter. The place where the yellow talisman was buried linked together with lines of golden light, forming a twenty-eight star pattern covering the entire sanatorium.

This formation is called the Yin Bind Formation, it was used to imprison evil spirits and other Yin things. The day is Yang and the night is Yin, evil spirits are Yin, while the copper coin is Yang. The Yin Bind Formation originally was made with twenty-eight copper coins instead of twenty-eight talismans. But at present there were not enough copper coins, so he could only draw talismans on the spot to gather Yang energy instead. It is night right now, and in the suburbs outside, so the Yang energy that was available to gather was certainly not comparable to during the day.

Fortunately, they were surrounded by high mountains, although mountain shades count as Yin, but it also counts as pure Yang¹. So the formation could still gather a lot of Yang energy, but the requirements for the talismans are very high, if he made the tiniest of mistakes, the formation would be gathering the purest of Yin energy instead of Yang energy from the mountains.

Chen Yang carefully observed the formation of the golden light, and was relieved to find that the twenty-eight star chart was formed. The Gan Jizi were walking upstairs, their bodies were stiff and they moved slowly. A group of Gan Jizi went up to the second floor where they encountered some evil spirits and the two sides fought each other. The Gan Jizi were melted into black water, and the black water miasma was able to corrode the evil spirits.

While Chen Yang was quietly watching the show, a door of an upstairs room opened, a young girl came out and rubbed her eyes. A gust of wind passed by her, she felt cold and shivered, she looked up straight into the group of Gan Jizi and evil spirits, and let out a scream. 

The scream attracted the attention of the Gan Jizi and the evil spirits, they all paused for a moment and then pounced on the girl in unison with a vengeance. Chen Yang warned loudly, “Go back inside!” But the girl was too frightened to move, she did not hear his reminder.

Chen Yang had no choice but to dismantle the red rope he had set up and exposed his own scent. Chen Yang narrowly dodged the group, wound his red rope around the pillar upstairs and climbed up by force. The second after he had jumped off the railing, a Gan Jizi pounced on the spot where he was standing.

Chen Yang did not look back but flung the Gan Jizi with his red rope, turning it into ashes. His red rope had the purest of Yang aura, it couldn be used to directly beat the Gan Jizi to ashes. After landing, Chen Yang pulled the girl back into the room and closed the door.

The young girl was Meng Xi’s sister, Meng Yao, who also had mental problems. She thought everyone in the sanatorium was normal and repeated her daily search for her parents, who have been made into dolls. She never opened their bedroom to find them. She was disgusted with Meng Xi, living in her own world and choosing to ignore people she hated or didn’t want to accept.

Meng Yao looked back and saw Chen Yang: “I know you, you talked to Meng Xi.” Her face turned ugly and she screamed, “Get out!!! Get out of my room!!!” She screamed as she rushed to the door and opened it. The evil spirits and Gan Jizi outside the door pounced in and grabbed her arms and started tearing them. Meng Yao screamed in pain.

Chen Yang stepped forward and put the Five Thunder Spirit talisman on the ghosts and Gan Jizi to ignite them. He pulled Meng Yao, who was out of trouble, behind him: “Divine Soldiers and Thunder Soldiers are in a hurry.”

When Chen Yang looked back, he saw Meng Yao’s smug smile and her hands that were held by the Gan Jizi had been freed. She tried to snatch away Chen Yang’s jade ring as she pushed Chen Yang out, but he reacted quickly and took back the ring. However, he was pushed out of the room.

Chen Yang’s ankle was grabbed by a Gan Jizi, and he stuck a spiritual talisman between his two fingers on the Gan Jizi to ignite it. Then he took out the red rope to whip it into ashes. Unlike the Gan Jizi, the evil spirits still retain a little bit of sanity, so they knew fear and fell back.

Chen Yang took the opportunity to jump downstairs, to the location of the front entrance to trigger the Yin Binding Formation again. He sealed all the Gan Jizi and evil spirits that happened to stumble into the formation in one swoop. The golden light gradually converged, locking hundreds of Gan Jizi and a dozen ghosts into the palm-sized formation.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sanatorium. At this moment, all the evil spirits and Gan Jizi were caught and the place fell into dead silence. Wrapping the red rope around his wrist, Chen Yang stepped up the stairs in search of the God of Peace. On the third floor, he encountered Zhou Qi and Kou Xuanling, the latter looked extremely angry. At their feet squatted Ye Youyou and…… Ye Youya?

Chen Yang seldom saw Kou Xuanling in rage, so he asked Zhou Qi, “What happened?” Kou Xuanling was glaring angrily at Ye Youya, who looked dumbfounded. Meanwhile, there was anger and hatred in Ye Youyou’s eyes.

Zhou Qi said, “We encountered a sneak attack and Kou Xuanling was almost stabbed through the chest. Luckily, his Zushiye descended and saved him. Then Ye Youya came out and led evil spirits to Kou Xuanling, even though he had saved her prior to that. Zushiye’s spirit had to save Kou Xuanling once again, but Kou Xuanling’s portrait of his Zushiye had burned to ashes. So now Kou Xuanling is furious.”²

Chen Yang was surprised but also not, “He is very pious towards his Zushiye.” Chen Yang quickly changed the subject and asked, “How did they get here then?”

The sisters were hiding in the sanatorium and ran out to attack Kou Xuanling, causing Zushiye’s portrait to be burned. Kou Xuanling wanted to throw Ye Youya back into the hoard of evil spirits but Ye Youyou ran out and stopped him. She told us she could give up their room for us in exchange that we let Ye Youya go.”

“So you guys refused the offer? That’s it?” The Ye sisters seemed to have suffered a great blow, especially Ye Youya, as if all her hopes were lost. “Who stimulated them?”

“Of course we refused.” Zhou Qi sighed, “It was that sinful animal, it took advantage of the confusion and threw a newspaper to Ye Youya for her to read. After reading it, she became like this.” After saying that, he pointed to the newspaper on the ground.

Chen Yang picked it up and read it, and saw the biography of a certain man in a small section of the newspaper. He had been vilified by the real molesters of young children. He rescued the poor young girl, but was brutally killed by Ye Youya a few days ago.

The God of Peace really did not spare Ye Youya, she learned the truth and collapsed. Ye Youyou hugged her sister tightly, with fear and hatred, she screamed, “Sister, it lied to us. It tricked us, do you still not understand? It likes to play with people and knows how to play with humans. Sister, you should not believe it, do not believe that sinful animal. It just wants to play you to death……”

Ye Youya broke away from Ye Youyou’s arms and looked at her sideways, smiling with tears, “I know it toyed with me and wants to play me to death. I know, that’s exactly why it did not lie to me.” Because it was clear how well that sinful beast, the God of Peace would use the hearts of people and play with them, she knew that thing didn’t lie to her.

“I’m sorry, Youyou. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.” Ye Youya looked up at Chen Yang and smiled a little, “The God of Peace, I don’t know where it is. But it is very good at playing with people’s hearts and is very cunning, so it is very conceited. I guess it has been in front of you guys the entire time, but you haven’t suspected it yet, it’s just that nasty. That thing ……” Ye Youya sneered, “The sinful beast that hides its head is not capable of anything at all. Things that play with people simply do not get devout faith.”

A touch of light emerged in Ye Youya’s eyes, her expression was quite bizarre, “Those who wantonly play with other people’s lives will eventually be played with to death as well.” After saying these words, she violently broke away from Ye Youyou’s embrace and jumped downstairs.

Chen Yang sensed that something was wrong but was a step too late as he tried to pull her back. The height of the third floor wouldn’t cause a fatal fall, but Ye Youya intended to die. Her head hit the ground and she broke her neck thus dying.

“Sister!!!”

Ye Youyou also wanted to jump from the building, but was stopped by Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling. They were just in time to see the figure of Meng Yao appearing downstairs, she raised her head to meet the four people, revealing a weird smile before squatting down to dig the ground.

Kou Xuanling asked, “What is she doing?”

Chen Yang replied, “I have set up a Yin Binding Formation, and that is the eye of the formation. She wants to destroy it.” Kou Xuanling was so full of anger that he had nowhere to vent it, so he jumped downstairs as well. As for Zhou Qi, he reached downstairs in the blink of an eye.

When Meng Yao saw this, she quickly dug up the soil and saw the talisman. She opened it and took out the ancient copper coin inside, but found a familiar magic mark underneath the coin. She came forward to take a look, and when she saw it, she screamed in horror, “The Fengdu Emperor’s seal?” Immediately the seal was like a bomb and the animal that possessed Meng Yao was knocked out of its shell.

It was a blue-eyed fox. The fox stubbornly possessed Meng Yao again. It threw away the talisman and copper coin and hid to the side with a miserable cry. When Meng Yao looked up again, her face had turned into a fox’s appearance, and her two eyeballs were protruding, looking extraordinarily bizarre.

Chen Yang picked up the ancient copper coin and strung it back on the red rope, while Zhou Qi chained all the Gan Jizi and evil spirits that were sealed in the Yin Bind Formation. All the monsters were taken into his sleeves, but he had stuffed too many souls in them, so Zhou Qi had to change back into his Fengdu Yin official robes.

Meng Yao retreated a few steps back in fear, “The Central Ghost Emperor?!” It stumbled in place, its voice was both male and female, “What are you doing in the area under my jurisdiction? You catch evil ghosts, I undertake the souls of the dead, do you want to disturb the Bodhisattva’s cultivation?”

Zhou Qi snorted twice, “What Bodhisattva? Shameless!”

Meng Yao was angry, “You’ve been in Fengdu for a long time, you haven’t seen the human world in ages! How can you think I am not a Bodhisattva? Have you ever seen a Bodhisattva? Can you look at my face and judge my character? Just because I am a fox, you think I am an evil spirit. Do you know that foxes have the most Buddhist nature? I have been practicing Buddhism with Buddha ever since I have obtained spirituality. I have been a Buddhist and have fulfilled the wishes of many in the world. The “Bodhisattva of Mercy” saves those who are suffering and I also save those who are suffering, yet you do not recognize me as a practicing Bodhisattva because I saved less?”

This thing is cunning, eloquent, it could turn black into white. Chen Yang’s face turned cold, he whipped it with a red rope, “So much nonsense, I should just directly kill it. If you have a grievance, go to Fengdu to plead!”

After talking about it, he didn’t even give Meng Yao a chance to defend herself, nor bothered to refute Meng Yao. Chen Yang directly beat Meng Yao powerless. This thing was really weak. Although it relied on the incense of its believers to increase its mana, it was not sincere with helping people, it only ever thought about playing with others. But because it was attached to the body of Meng Yao, unless it was driven away, otherwise the damage caused will all be going to the physical body and not the soul. Chen Yang tied up Meng Yao and the three of them gathered around her to discuss what to do with her.

Kou Xuanling suggested, “Bring it back to the Taoist Association and open an altar to start a puja to forcibly separate it from Meng Yao’s flesh.”

The sinful animal said cheekily with Meng Yao’s flesh, “It can’t be separated. I am a Bodhisattva, my magic power is dependent on people’s incense offerings. Can you destroy my temple? Can you destroy all the shrines? Can you stop the incense offerings of my faithful followers? Can you deny the existence of God and Buddha? Without temples and incense offerings, there would be no Gods at all. Your offerings to the revered ancestors of the Three Purities, the revered Gods of Taoism, rely on faith to maintain their magical power; you cannot destroy faith.”

Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling looked at it with the eyes of looking at a fool: “Stupid!”

The God of Peace was conceited, clever, and when denied, it simply assumed they refused to admit it.

Kou Xuanling said contemptuously, “First there is a God, then there is a shrine built by the people. People’s faith is based on what is already there, and there are already Gods before incense is offered. We believe in the ancestors because we want them to bless us with peace and success. We beg the ancestors, not the other way around. If the ancestors need our incense offerings to maintain their so-called magic powers, why do we need to beg the ancestors? Isn’t believing in yourself enough if that’s the case? Only evil spirits and demons and leftist sects rely on the incense of the faithful to increase their magic power. They are without their own foundation and only rely on external power to sustain themselves. That is simply stupidly unbearable!”

The God of Peace relied on the incense offerings of the faithful to accumulate magic power and play with others. But if there are no incense offerings, its magic power will be weakened. This sinful animal thought that by hiding in a sanatorium without incense offerings, it could avoid being discovered by Chen Yang and the others, but it didn’t realize that if it was discovered, it would only be slaughtered if it was not strong enough.

No one is more qualified to talk about the topic of incense offerings than Kou Xuanling, who devoted himself to his Zushiye every day.

Kou Xuanling kept refuting its points, infuriating the sinful beast. Kou Xuanling stuck a Five Thunder Spiritual Talisman on Meng Yao: “Come out! Since you claim to be a Bodhisattva, don’t occupy the little girl’s body. Go back to your original body.”

The God of Peace had a gloomy expression, “If you dare to disrespect the Bodhisattva, there will be retribution.”

Chen Yang thought for a moment, “I’ll try another way to see if I can drive it away with Taoism.”

The God of Peace, who drew power from incense should come from the same lineage as the Taoists. Yet even Taoism could not drive it away or kill it, Chen Yang frowned, “We have to find its original vessel.”

The God of Peace smiled smugly: “You will never find it.”

“I found it.” The crowd turned around to look, and Ye Youyou walked out with a Five-Deity Statue in her arms. She stopped next to Ye Youya’s corpse. She held out the statue to Meng Yao and asked it with a smile, “It’s this, isn’t it?”

The God of Peace didn’t say anything, it only stared straight at Ye Youyou. Its expression informed the crowd that the statue was its original body. The God of Peace was one of the Five Deities. If it was invited as a family deity and worshipped, demons or spirits would reside in the statue, they could develop inside and can be cultivated by absorbing incense.

Ye Youyou put away her smile, “Once, I was grateful to you for saving my sister, now I hate you. Why didn’t you let my sister go? Why did you stimulate her and let her collapse, leading her to suicide?” She held a pair of scissors in her hand and raised them high with a sly smile, “Do you know that if you play with others, you will end up being played with to death?”

Blood splashed everywhere, the God of Peace turned from calm and stiff to crazy. It stared at Ye Youyou who stabbed herself through her own heart and sprayed her blood onto the statue. It fiercely let out a sharp wail, it lunged forward to kill Ye Youyou who was filled with hatred.

“How did you know?! Who told you!!!”

Chen Yang suppressed the God of Peace, and when the red rope touched Meng Yao’s flesh, Chen Yang noticed that the God of Peace was almost ejected from the vessel. He looked back at Ye Youyou in surprise and probably understood in his heart that the sprayed blood destroyed all the magic power from the incense. Chen Yang cast a spell to eject the God of Peace out of Meng Yao’s flesh, the red rope was quickly woven into a net around the fleeing blue-eyed fox.

The fox let out a sharp scream and tried to bite Chen Yang’s hand, it tried to escape when it fell to the ground, but Zhou Qi’s soul chain smashed its head, instantly killing it. The red rope fell to the ground and the fox disappeared, while at the same time the blood-stained statue shattered.

“So many people were played to death, and the mastermind was this Five Deity God Statue.” Kou Xuanling looked at the Ye sisters, and thought of Mr. Qian’s family, and many others who died because of it. They appeared to have been played to death by the God of Peace, but in fact they were played to death by themselves. This fox demon was also played to death by himself. “The God of Peace was originally just a family God seeking money, with a capricious and vengeful character, but did not hold much ability.”

It is surprising that it managed to kill so many people.

Chen Yang stared at the shattered statue of the God of Peace and pondered. Suddenly, he shouted, “Fengdu Emperor rules over the Five Ghost Emperors. Zhou Qi!”

“Yes, m’am.” Zhou Qi was puzzled: “Big sis, what is it?”

Chen Yang looked at Zhou Qi steadily and then smiled gently, “Nothing.”

Zhou Qi looked at Kou Xuanling with confusion, who was shocked. Zhou Qi, who was unable to solve his doubts, went back to Fengdu to resume his duties. Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling called the police and waited for the police to arrive before driving away. There was silence all the way.

Chen Yang: “By the way, have you seen Meng Xi?”

Kou Xuanling: “No.”

“Oh.” Chen Yang answered and didn’t say anything, his heart heavy.

On the far side of the mountain, Meng Xi played with the small bottle in his hand. The bottle was filled with the most sinister and evil Feijiang blood. He said with a smile: “Do you know what Chen Yang is wearing around his neck? The Fengdu Emperor’s magic seal.” He found it very interesting and laughed for a long time: “I like him more and more now.”

Beside Meng Xi stood a woman in white, she was staring coldly, holding a black cat in her arms. She looked slightly sideways, in the direction of the sanatorium and said, “Meng Yao is not dead.”

“Oh.” Meng Xi said pleasantly, “Let her live.”

The woman said, “She will reveal your whereabouts.”

“That’s okay. I can’t help but like Chen Yang, it’s okay to let him know.” Meng Xi’s eyes were full of pleasure and interest, as if he had encountered a fun game.
