The night was deep.

The train continued on the tracks.

Inside the carriage, the light was dim, and except for the "clang clang" of the rails, there were also the competing snoring sounds of several nearby passengers.

Having bought seat beds, Chen Hao and his company could only rely on each other to fall asleep.

"Boyfriend, are you asleep yet?" Ye Yuqiao, who was bothered by the surrounding noise and couldn't fall asleep, whispered in Chen Hao's ear.

"Not yet, I'm thinking about stuff." Chen Hao immediately opened his eyes and replied, in the dimly lit carriage, his eyes shone like two bright stars. After speaking, Chen Hao stretched his left hand over the back of the seat, then hooked Ye Yuqiao's shoulder and drew her into his embrace.

"Is this your first time on a train and you're not used to it?" Chen Hao said, kissing Ye Yuqiao's forehead.

"Yeah, it's so noisy!" Ye Yuqiao closed her eyes and said, feeling the warmth of Chen Hao's embrace, "What are you thinking about?"

"Aren't you the worm in my stomach? You should know I'm thinking about you!"

"Liar, you are clearly thinking about what happened these last two days!"

"Haha, you really are my worm!" Chen Hao laughed lightly.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly changed the subject, reflecting, "Don't you think it's ironic what we encountered today, with the Matchmaker and the Onmyoji? Normally, the Matchmaker would be a fierce and terrifying ghost, and the Onmyoji would be responsible for subduing demons and exorcizing evil, but the Matchmaker does all the good deeds of bringing destined people together, while the Onmyoji does bad things like plotting for wealth and harming lives?"

"Mm," Ye Yuqiao nodded in agreement, "I think you said something very right today. Among demons and ghosts, there are those with kind hearts, and among the gods, there are those with ill intentions. You can't judge good or bad based on identity alone; it's about what they've done."

"Do you think I looked handsome when I said that?"

"Mm!"

"So how do you plan to express your admiration for me?"

Ye Yuqiao looked up, pouted her lips, and left a light kiss on Chen Hao's face, then she bounced back into Chen Hao's arms, saying, "Boyfriend, tell me a story to put me to sleep."

"I want to listen too!"

"Me too."

"Count me in as well!"

Chen Hao never expected that at this moment, sitting opposite, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Ye Fei suddenly opened their eyes. Obviously, everything he had just done and said with Ye Yuqiao had been heard and seen by the three of them.

"I'm so embarrassed!" Ye Yuqiao's shy voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind, and then she buried herself deep into Chen Hao's embrace, too embarrassed to face anyone. Chen Hao then gave the middle finger to the three sitting opposite, saying, "What stories? Go to sleep!"

"Sigh!" Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing deliberately made a fuss, causing the nearby Ye Fei to be unable to hold back a chuckle.

After laughing, Ye Fei suddenly felt a tinge of sadness, because it wouldn't be long before he had to say goodbye to these four people, each with their own extraordinary skills. He really wanted to be a part of the Exorcism Special Vehicle team, to follow Chen Hao and his friends to eliminate all kinds of unimaginable demons and ghosts, but he didn't know any Yin Yang Arts, and moreover, he had a girl he was tied to, as well as a city that needed saving, along with his mission as the Campus Hero.

At three o'clock the next afternoon, the train that Chen Hao and his group were on arrived at Feishi Town station.

After getting off the train, from a distance, they saw Liu Xiajun standing at the exit. Liu Xiajun had been anxious these past few days because he hadn't been able to contact the five of them, so he had asked around everywhere in an attempt to find news about them. It wasn't until he received a call from Ye Fei the night before that Liu Xiajun finally relaxed.

"Master!" Ye Fei waved excitedly to Liu Xiajun.

Liu Xiajun just smiled slightly, his face maintaining its usual seriousness.

Liu Xiajun had driven the Exorcism Special Vehicle, so after leaving the train station, everyone rode it back to Liu Xiajun's home.

The night was deep.

The moon was sparse with stars, strong winds assaulted the air, and Longya Village was silent.

After saying goodnight to Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao quietly left the room and went to meet Liu Xiajun by the river north of Longya Village, to fulfill the sparring agreement he had promised Liu Xiajun a few days earlier.

Liu Xiajun had arrived early, holding a short sword in his hand. Seeing Chen Hao come empty-handed, Liu Xiajun asked, "Haozi, where's your sword?"

Chen Hao grinned and replied, "The sword is on me, or rather, I am a sword!"

Liu Xiajun's eyes suddenly sparked with astonishment, "I didn't expect you to achieve unity with the sword at such a young age!"

After speaking, Liu Xiajun thrust the short sword in his hand into the sand, then added, "If that's the case, I see no need to hold back any longer!"

"Hmm!" Chen Hao nodded, his eyes gleaming with confidence, "Master Liu, I'm going to make my move now!"

"Hmm, enlighten me!" Liu Xiajun's brows furrowed slightly, thinking to himself that although Chen Hao possessed deep inner strength, he was still young and a bit too impatient. In duels between masters, the outcome often did not depend on taking the defensive, but on who took the initiative.

The so-called initiative was patience. Clearly, Chen Hao was not patient enough.

Half an hour later.

"I lost!" Chen Hao said with genuine admiration.

Liu Xiajun nodded, his face filled with surprise. He originally thought he could defeat the impatient Chen Hao within twenty moves, but it took him over a hundred moves instead, which was far beyond his expectation. Based on his analysis, there were two reasons: one was that Chen Hao's inner strength was much greater than he had anticipated, and the second was that Chen Hao was filled with fighting spirit and refused to admit defeat until the very end.

"Haozi, you only lost to me because you're a bit younger," Liu Xiajun said with a sense of emotion, "You are still young, and I believe that in less than five years, you will definitely be able to defeat me!"

Chen Hao smiled and said nothing more. To him, exorcising demons was of the utmost importance; knowing some martial arts was just the icing on the cake.

"You will leave tomorrow; who knows when we will meet again?" Liu Xiajun said sorrowfully.

"It won't be too long!" Chen Hao said, frowning, "I hope the next time I see you and Ye Fei, I will be able to defeat you, and I will also have found a way to lift the seal of the mysterious force in Ye Fei's heart."

Liu Xiajun smiled slightly and nodded.

The next morning, Chen Hao and his group of four bid farewell to Ye Fei and Liu Xiajun, and continued their journey in the "Exorcism Special Vehicle." Before they left, Liu Xiajun gave Chen Hao an address and a number, mentioning that a friend from Yang Family Village in Wangu Town had been looking for an Onmyoji for help.

Located to the south of Wangu Town, they arrived at Wangu Town by noon. In comparison, Wangu Town was much busier, with many cars and pedestrians on the streets, bustling and crowded.

Eventually, their vehicle stopped in front of a town restaurant.

As they got out of the car, a young greeter came over with a cheerful face. When he saw the words "Exorcism Special Vehicle" painted on the car, he was startled at first; but as soon as he regained his composure and saw Ye Yuqiao's heavenly beauty, he was shocked again.

"Hey! Handsome," Xie Xiaofeng glanced at the young man with disdain, "have you seen a ghost? You look so scared!"

After blinking a few times, the young man quickly shook his head and said, "No, no!"

Continuing, the grinning young man said as he swayed his hips and ogled Ye Yuqiao, "Please come inside, sirs. Our restaurant has all kinds of dishes, with local cuisine and famous dishes as our specialties. Please give them a try."

Feeling uncomfortable with the young man staring at her like that, Ye Yuqiao took Chen Hao's arm and hid behind him to avoid his malicious gaze.

Once inside the restaurant and seated, with their food ordered, Xie Xiaofeng suddenly asked the young man, "By the way, waiter, do you know how to get to Yang Family Village?"

Immediately, the young man, who had been grinning foolishly at Ye Yuqiao, looked terrified and trembled as he asked, "What do you want with Yang Family Village?"

"You saw the words 'Exorcism Special Vehicle' painted on our car, right?" Xie Xiaofeng chuckled, "Of course, we're going to exorcise evil spirits!"

The young man's face darkened, and his voice grew colder, "You all are still so young, I advise you not to stick your noses into this."

"Oh?" Xie Xiaofeng's eyes immediately filled with interest, "Young? Meddling? You make it sound like we're marching to our deaths."

"It is marching to your deaths!" the young man insisted with an increasingly chilly tone, "My family comes from Yang Family Village, and I am very clear about the situation there. Every household has been cursed, and for twelve years, no baby has been born there. Now, no one dares to marry into Yang Family Village."

"Unable to have children?" Chen Hao fell into deep thought, then silently said to Ye Yuqiao, "Yuqiao, could it be that the people in the village cannot have children because they have lost their Yin Souls?"

"That's very possible, or it could be that the fetuses in the womb are being killed by something unclean. If that's the case, then the thing harming them must be an extremely vicious ghost!"

"Haven't the people in the village ever asked someone to take a look?" Xie Xiaofeng asked the young man.

"Over a decade ago, they invited the most famous Onmyoji and Feng Shui masters from around here to take a look, but afterward, all those people died, without a single survivor!" said the young man, his eyes filled with fear, "So I urge you to back off, please don't go seeking death."

Chen Hao smiled dismissively and then took out the note given to him by Liu Xiajun, asking, "Do you know the person on this note?"

After a glance, the young man nodded, "I know him, he's the village chief of Yang Family Village, the culprit who's causing the villagers to be childless."

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Xie Xiaofeng said, rather surprised, "There are many reasons for not having children, but it's definitely not another man's fault."

After glaring at Xie Xiaofeng, the young man walked away with the menu, clearly agitated.

Afterward, Chen Hao took out his phone and dialed the number of the village chief of Yang Family Village...
