"Daoist Yan, hello. I'm here to trouble you again."
Li Qi walked into the shop with the young girl and paid respects to Xiao Mu with Taoist etiquette.
"Li Layman, you are too polite. Please have a seat!"
Xiao Mu gestured to the chairs opposite him.
"Thank you, Daoist!" Li Qi pulled the girl to sit next to him and thanked Xiao Mu, then proceeded with introductions, "Daoist, this is my niece, her name is Li Jing. Little Jing, this is Daoist Yan. Go ahead and greet the Daoist."
"Hello, little Layman!" Xiao Mu gave a nod of respect to the young girl, Li Jing.
"Hello, Daoist!" The girl, Li Jing, was somewhat reserved, stood up, and gave a deep bow to Xiao Mu, her eyes gentle and timid, seemingly shy.
"Daoist, my niece Li Jing has been frightened outdoors recently; I'm troubling you to take a look at her condition," continued Li Qi, mentioning the reason for their visit.
"Was she frightened outdoors?"
Xiao Mu had already noticed Li Jing's condition and now examined her closely upon hearing this.
A blue-black color showed between Li Jing's brows, hinting at an air of reincarnation.
This phenomena startled Xiao Mu, and his immediate thought was that a Divine Spirit from the reincarnation system had taken an interest in Li Jing, and not just any spirit, but one of at least Divine Spirit Level.
This realization filled Xiao Mu with excitement, thinking that a Divine Spirit from the reincarnation system had come to the human world. As long as it was not a Mutated Being from the Alliance, it must be from the Heavenly Court.
If he could discern the origin of the air of reincarnation between Li Jing's brows, he could follow the clues and trace the trail of the Mutated Beings from the Heavenly Court.
Xiao Mu opened his Spiritual Eye and observed Li Jing closely.
Two Golden Rays shot out from his eyes, piercing into Li Jing's body as Xiao Mu began to examine her physical condition.
However, following this, he froze.
Li Jing's body was remarkably pure, showing no signs of influence or contamination.
That's not right! How could this be? How can this ordinary girl be untouched by the aura of reincarnation?
Sensing something amiss, Xiao Mu withdrew his focus and took another look at Li Jing.
This time the observation diverged significantly from before; there was no aura of reincarnation to be seen between her brows.
Her brows were pure, marked only by some despondency, with no other anomalies.
Could my eyes have deceived me?
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Mu's mind.
No, that can't be right. Why would I think that?
Xiao Mu had an uneasy feeling, but the thought vanished as soon as it appeared.
Yes, that's it, I must have been seeing things!
Settling his mind and observing Li Jing's condition once more, Xiao Mu confirmed that her Divine Sense and body were pure, with absolutely no anomalies.
"Daoist Yan, what is wrong with Li Jing?" Li Qi's inquiry disrupted Xiao Mu's train of thought.
"Li Jing... Well, the young Layman is in good condition, and there are no problems."
Xiao Mu's gaze shifted from Li Jing to Li Qi.
"Li Jing and I both have nightmares. No, hers are worse. I have them occasionally, but she gets them as soon as she falls asleep. She dreams of very deep tunnels where she sees many strange people, many from the village, digging in the tunnels with the protection of incense fire around them."
Li Qi carefully described Li Jing's situation, being meticulous in his words for fear of missing any details, though his speech was somewhat disordered.
Tunnels? Strange people? Are these thoughts by day, dreams by night?
Xiao Mu expressed calmly, "Thoughts by day, dreams by night. Li Layman need not worry. The young Layman's condition is easy to address; a single Fu Zhuan will suffice for her recovery."
"Then, please, Daoist, trouble you for that," said Li Qi, quickly standing and making a request.
"Think nothing of it!"
As Xiao Mu spoke, he took out the same Soothing Talisman he'd used on Li Qi and flicked it toward Li Jing.
The Soothing Talisman flew out, striking Li Jing with Spiritual Light; the Golden Light Covering her body, infusing with her Spirituality.
"The young Layman's condition has been resolved; she may now sleep peacefully."
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up to thank Xiao Mu, placed a hundred yuan note into the Merit Box, and left with Li Jing.
Xiao Mu watched them depart, yet a strong sense of unease once again surged within him.
"Something doesn't feel right. My perception is off. Wait, who was it that sought my help just now?"
Xiao Mu's expression changed instantly as he realized that he had forgotten who had just asked for his help.
With no hesitation, Xiao Mu turned into a Five-Color Light Spectrum and chased after them outside the shop.
The street outside the shop was empty, devoid of people.
"Somebody asked for my help just now, asking for assistance. How long ago was it? Am I being fooled?"
Xiao Mu suddenly came to his senses, his face darkening.
Almost instinctively, he reached into the Earth Seal Space, pulled out the Creation Axe, and swung it at himself.
Crack!
Creation's White Light struck him and a white transparent shield appeared around Xiao Mu's body.
Creation's White Light blocked everything, and the strange influence on Xiao Mu instantly dissipated.
At this time, outside the transparent white shield, Xiao Mu immediately perceived a blue-black halo.
The blue-black halo flickered, emitting a pulsing Brilliance, seemingly trying to pass through the Creation Light into Xiao Mu's body but was blocked by the shield of Creation.
Reincarnation force? Is this the force of reincarnation?
Recognizing the blue-black Brilliance, Xiao Mu was shaken to the core.
