Chapter 34

The night in Haicheng is beautiful, with the sea breeze blowing and the sky full of stars.

Leaving the Shangri-La, Lu Li deeply inhaled the air with a faint fishy smell, his expression filled with sighs. He could tell that Liu Zhongtian must have more information, but he didn't say more out of concern for him. However, Liu Zhongtian didn't realize that with the Xue family's background, he wouldn't be at a loss for what to do.

Li Haijian and Liang Jun walked on either side of Lu Li, entering the parking lot. Liang Jun drove Lu Li back to school, and Li Haijian waved goodbye.

Ever since he was ordered by his grandfather to follow Lu Li, Liang Jun had given up the idea of going home and had already moved to the school.

Not long after they left, two people emerged from a corner of the parking lot, revealing Xia Ming and his little brother.

There was no one in the dormitory. Zhang Jian was busy with his girlfriend, and the other two brothers were obsessed with online games, rarely seen.

In the four-person dormitory, only Lu Li still insisted on living there.

However, he really liked this lifestyle, doing whatever he wanted, even running around naked if he felt like it. Of course, Lu Li didn't have that kind of hobby.

After practicing the Three Yang Fist technique for two hours, he felt that he was not far from mastering it. Satisfied, he walked out of the dormitory, preparing to wash up and go to bed.

After a busy time, he returned with a basin.

"Power outage?"

Upon entering, he found the dormitory dark and helplessly complained. Just as he was about to feel his way to bed, a cold wind suddenly blew, making his hair stand on end.

It was clearly June, yet he felt a chill all over, his skin breaking out in goosebumps.

"Who's there? Come out."

He quickly dropped the basin and placed his hands in front of his chest, forming a seal. To enter the student dormitory without a sound and lower the temperature, creating a cold wind, it was undoubtedly not human.

"Whoo."

Wails came from all around, the sound seeming to be right next to his ear, yet far away, filled with resentment and anger, making one's heart shiver.

Lu Li frowned and coldly snorted, "You're courting death. Do you think you can scare me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound instantly disappeared, and a floating figure appeared before him. The figure wore a white long dress, her pale face making her look even more eerie.

Seeing her attire, Lu Li rolled his eyes and sighed in relief, "Wang Xuexi, can't we change the way you appear?"

"No."

The voice was ethereal, echoing in the dormitory.

Lu Li was speechless, "Alright. Your appearance is always so impressive. What do you want?"

"When will you fulfill your promise to help me take revenge?" Wang Xuexi slowly floated in front of Lu Li, only a meter away.

If it weren't for Lu Li's experience as a Celestial Master, seeing various ghosts, such a close distance would have scared him.

"I've already asked someone to help investigate. However, last time you only said someone harmed you, without revealing the identity of the murderer or the location of your remains. With just this information, it's hard to find him."

Wang Xuexi seemed to become agitated after hearing this, her eyes gradually turning blood red, and drops of blood seeping from her eye sockets.

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, it's best to keep this appearance!"

Lu Li immediately understood that her agitation was causing her to revert to her state at the moment of death and quickly said. Although he wasn't afraid, who would want to see a grotesque form when a normal human shape was available?

"His name is Xia Ming, a despicable person with a human face and a beast's heart, a beast."

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Lu Li was greatly surprised and exclaimed.

"Xia Ming, a member of the Xia family in Haicheng, his father is the chairman of Haixing Group."

Lu Li nodded strangely, "So it's him! I attended a birthday banquet today and happened to meet him, and we had a bit of a conflict. He is indeed very arrogant and has a blood aura, suggesting he has done many evil deeds. I never expected this! It seems we are destined to clash."

He looked at Wang Xuexi and asked, "Where are your remains? In today's legal society, evidence is needed to bring charges."

"Under the rocks one kilometer south of Moon Sea Square."

"How did they end up there?"

As a native of Haicheng, Lu Li was very familiar with Moon Sea Square.

Moon Sea Square is surrounded by mountains on one side and the sea on two sides, enjoying a high reputation in Haicheng and even the entire northern region.

However, one kilometer south of Moon Sea Square is a small mountain, with the Bohai Sea at its base, steep cliffs, and numerous rocks. Without a boat, it's impossible to get there.

For some reason, after asking this question, Lu Li was surprised to find that the female ghost Wang Xuexi seemed somewhat shy, and he immediately understood. No need to ask, she must have gone to fight at night.

"Since that's the case, I'll report it to the police and find the remains. The rest will depend on their investigation."

Wang Xuexi said softly, "It won't work. With his family background, the police can't do anything to him. Moreover, he was extremely cautious, leaving no evidence. Even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't."

"Is that so?"

After hearing this, Lu Li suddenly felt a headache. After a moment of thought, his expression turned serious, and he asked, "Are you sure you want revenge?"

"I wish to eat his heart and drink his blood."

Lu Li sternly said, "If the police can't find the murderer, I will find a way to catch him and let you take action yourself. In this life, I don't want to shed blood unless absolutely necessary." After eight reincarnations, he had once killed countless people and saved countless lives, and whether saving or killing, he had his own principles.

Moreover, solving the problem with Xia Ming in one punch would be too easy for him. According to Lu Li's thinking, the best approach would be to use the law, the second best would be for the female ghost to take action, and the worst would be for him to do it himself.

Wang Xuexi sighed deeply and sobbed, "I can't get close to him."

"That's not a problem. When the time comes, I will find a way to help you take revenge." Lu Li said calmly.

"Thank you."

Wang Xuexi bowed.

"Go back first, so no one sees you and causes panic in the school." After a moment of thought, he added, "Don't stay too far from me these few days. I have a conflict with Xia Ming, and given his character, he might make a move suddenly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuexi nodded and floated toward the window.

Just as she floated out the window, she suddenly screamed, and her soul was instantly scattered into tiny points of light. In the blink of an eye, the light reformed, but her figure became much thinner.

She returned in a disheveled state, hiding behind Lu Li and trembling, "There's a Celestial Master outside."

"A Celestial Master?"

Lu Li was greatly surprised and quickly ran to the window to look down. Strangely, he saw a figure standing in the shadow of the dormitory, clearly a young girl from her posture and build.

"How strange, I didn't notice there was a Celestial Master in the school?"

Looking at the somewhat familiar figure, Lu Li was quite shocked, wondering if she had sensed the yin energy and come to help. However, the dormitory door was closed, and he was on the third floor, making it almost impossible for her to get up.

Thinking of this, he laughed down to her, "Classmate, she needs my help with something and has never harmed anyone. Please don't act rashly."

Below, Xia Qingxuan looked up at Lu Li, wishing she could stab him with a sword. Last time she was entangled by a demoness, and now a female ghost had come to visit. Was this guy naturally attracting evil?

"Human and ghost are different paths. Take care of yourself!"

Xia Qingxuan said and disappeared into the darkness.

Lu Li's mouth twitched. How could it be her?

"Alright, the Celestial Master is gone. You should leave quickly."

Wang Xuexi floated around, trembling as she approached the window and finally floated out.

Watching Wang Xuexi leave safely, Lu Li suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. Xia Qingxuan was actually a Celestial Master! If Liang Jun knew, he would probably be so scared he'd wet his pants, let alone pursue her.
