Since the last time he saved that little girl, Xu Hao had asked Wang Zhong to collect information on Guo Lan's family.
But Xu Hao hadn't had a chance to look at it until now, on his way over.
Guo Lan, a teacher at Jing'an Third Primary School, her husband Qian Dongfei, an archaeologist, died a year ago in an archaeological operation.
Qian Dongfei, grew up in an ordinary family, but was suspected to have ties with the Huadu Qian Family. The man was dead, and it was currently impossible to confirm...
After Xu Hao rushed to Guo Lan's house, Guo Lan immediately came up and said, "Mr. Xu, my daughter is in the room, she woke up yesterday morning with a high fever that hasn't subsided. I took her to the hospital but it was of no use."
Worry was written all over Guo Lan's face, she was clearly extremely concerned about her daughter's condition.
Xu Hao didn't waste any words and went straight into the room, where he saw Guo Lan's daughter Youyou lying in bed.
Her little face was flushed, and she had fever-reducing patches on her forehead.
Xu Hao went over, took the little girl's pulse, and immediately furrowed his brow.
It was Evil Qi again!
Upon closer examination, Xu Hao saw a faint black aura emerging from the little girl's body, but it was thicker than the Evil Qi he had seen the last time.
He remembered that the little girl had been ill in the same way the last time.
But logically, since he had already removed the Evil Qi from the little girl's body, there was no need for the adversary to come back again, unless the little girl was extremely important to the adversary's Evil Qi arrangements, indispensable!
The adversary had repeatedly laid out Evil Qi arrangements on Youyou without immediately killing her, which showed their goal was not simply her demise. Love this story? Show support at *.
Given the strength of the adversary who dared to act openly in Elder Chen's home, it meant they were not afraid of angering the Huaya officials.
The Islanders who had targeted Elder Chen had also used Evil Qi, with strikingly consistent methods—could there be a connection between these two incidents?
Similarities, connection?
Xu Hao instantly understood, it was definitely because of the Immortal Bone. The Islanders who had attacked suddenly that day had also mentioned the Immortal Bone!
After pondering for a while, Xu Hao said, "Teacher Guo, before this illness, did Youyou encounter a strange person again?"
Guo Lan said with a look of self-reproach, "Ah, it's all my fault. I took Youyou to the park, wasn't paying attention for a moment, and someone passing by in a long robe drew a circle on Youyou's hand. By the time I realized what had happened, the person had already left."
Xu Hao nodded and said, "The person is an Islander Onmyoji, who knows some strange and bizarre sorcery that can make you lose consciousness momentarily, which is quite normal."
While speaking, he transmitted a stream of Qi Force into Youyou's body.
To Xu Hao's surprise, this time without using the Immortal Bone, relying solely on Qi Force, he managed to directly disperse the malicious Qi.
After advancing to Grandmaster Level, the Qi Force in his body had undergone a qualitative change, giving off an extreme sense of yang energy.
Youyou woke up soon after, reaching out with her chubby arms looking for her mommy.
Guo Lan was overjoyed and hurried to hold her, expressing her profound gratitude to Xu Hao, "Mr. Xu, thank you for saving Youyou once again."
Xu Hao shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy just yet. If we can't eliminate that Onmyoji, your daughter will still be threatened."
Guo Lan held Youyou, struggling in her gaze.
After a long sigh, she said, "Before that archaeological activity the year before last, my husband gave me a Beast Skin Map to keep safe. I don't know what it is, but judging by his serious demeanor, it must be important. I think that might be the root cause of the harm that has come to my daughter."
Guo Lan understood the principle of guilt by association.
After considering everything, the only treasure she could think of that her husband had given her was the Beast Skin Map.
Without waiting for Xu Hao to respond, she placed her daughter on the bed and rummaged out a Beast Skin Map from the cabinet.
Holding the Beast Skin Map, Guo Lan glanced at the photo of her husband on the wall then back to her daughter on the bed. Biting her lip, she said resolutely, "Mr. Xu, this map is of no use to me but instead brings disaster to my daughter. I fear giving it to you might harm you too. Maybe we should just destroy it. I believe that for the sake of my daughter, my husband's spirit in heaven would agree."
Xu Hao shook his head slightly. Guo Lan was still thinking too simply. He said, "Unless we cut off the adversary's intentions, even if you destroy the map in front of them, it won't do any good. Instead, it will make them hate you even more and possibly even act to kill you immediately."
"Ah? Then what should we do?" Guo Lan asked anxiously.
Xu Hao took the map and observed it. The Beast Skin Map featured drawings of mountains and rivers with a black dot marked at one mountain location. There were no other marks or any annotations of place names.
Looking at Youyou, Xu Hao said, "Since I've come across this matter, and the counterpart is an Island Country person, I naturally won't let them succeed!"
