After midnight, the gate of ghosts is closed. Before the third watch, there are still many ghosts searching the human world to see if there are any left behind ghosts or escaped ghosts.

They will return to the underworld only after everything is cleaned up.

Gu Mengyin didn't stay outside because of the ghost. After Lin Fan left with Yan Linyuan, she also returned to Gu's house.

As soon as her front legs arrived, Jing Chen followed her.

Follow Gu Mengyin all the way to his house.

Gu Mengyin stopped and Jingchen almost hit her.

Gu Mengyin glanced at him, and Jingchen raised his lips and smiled.

"Why are you following me?"

"Little Junior Sister, do you want to refine that thousand-year-old demon essence?"

"Yes."

Jingchen came forward and said: "Let me help you. I have nothing to do anyway. I will help you refine the demon marrow and give it to you after I refine it."

Gu Mengyin glanced at him with distrust, "No, I can practice by myself."

"It's too dangerous for you to practice on your own!"

"It's just a piece of demon marrow, what's the danger?"

Jingchen opened his mouth and hesitated, "Then I'll come with you? If something goes wrong along the way, it's good to have someone to deal with it, right?"

Gu Mengyin didn't think anything could go wrong by refining a demon marrow, but the presence of multiple people did provide an extra layer of protection.

"can."

"Then when do you plan to practice?"

"I'll take a nap first and talk about it when I wake up."

"Okay, you must not practice secretly behind my back."

Gu Mengyin pushed him out of the door, "I know."

"Eh!"

Before Jingchen finished speaking, the door was closed.

He touched his sore nose, "It really... hurts like hell."

Gu Mengyin fought against the big demon tonight, and her physical energy was greatly depleted. She really couldn't refine the demon marrow right away.

She yawned and lay down on the bed.

Gu Mengyin slept particularly deeply this night.

She also dreamed about some bloody scenes. She only saw blood and corpses all over the sky, but when she wanted to see the appearance of those people clearly, she woke up again.

The sky was bright and the haze of the previous days was completely gone.

After a good sleep, Gu Mengyin felt relaxed all over her body.

After she got up, she asked Tuan Yuan to get breakfast. After eating, her physical strength was fully restored.

She called Jingchen using the telegraph.

When Jingchen arrived, he still had several big buns in his hand, stuffing them all into his mouth.

"Little junior sister, you are looking for me."

Gu Mengyin stood up and placed a piece of talisman paper on the ground, "Didn't you say you wanted to refine the demon essence with me?"

"Ah, are you going to practice now?"

"Well, the faster, the better. The evil spirit in Bai Ning's body can hardly be suppressed."

Jingchen curled his lips, there was no need to be so concerned about that useless pretty boy.

"I know, I know."

After Jingchen finished eating the buns, he came behind Gu Mengyin.

Gu Mengyin placed the demon marrow in the middle of the formation, then pricked her finger to drip blood on the demon marrow.

Seeing this, Jingchen quickly stepped forward and took away the demon marrow, "Use mine, use mine." After saying this, he closed his eyes, bit his own finger and dripped blood.

Gu Mengyin always felt that this kid was weird, but she was too lazy to argue with him so much. She would refine the demon marrow first.

Jingchen dropped the blood and put the demon marrow back, then recited a spell.

"Junior sister, please come and sit on the side." Gu Mengyin said favorably and sat on a chair beside her, but felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, where is the Demon Transformation Cauldron?"

Jingchen paused for a moment and said suddenly: "Yes, why did I forget this? You can't practice it without the Medicine Cauldron. Where has my Demon Transformation Cauldron gone?"

Gu Mengyin frowned, "Isn't the Demon Transformation Cauldron always in your Qiankun Bag?"

Jingchen said oh, took out the Qiankun bag and rummaged around.

No.

"My demon-transforming cauldron is missing!"

The veins on Gu Mengyin's forehead twitched, "Didn't you say you would bring it with you?"

Jingchen said helplessly: "Maybe I dropped it when I was rushing back. Don't worry, little junior sister. I'll look for it along the road. Just wait for me."

Jingchen grabbed the demon marrow and ran out.

Gu Mengyin came to her senses after looking at the empty talisman formation at the banquet.

"My demon marrow, please leave the demon marrow to me!"

But when she chased him out, Jingchen was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Mengyin was so angry that she sent him a message, but Jingchen simply ignored her.

"Damn senior brother, let me find you, I will definitely blow your head away!"

Jingchen rushed all the way outside the city gate before stopping, patting his chest and breathing heavily.

"I'm so exhausted. Thanks to my good acting skills, I almost got exposed."

He quickly put away the demon marrow and wanted to go back immediately to ask his master what was going on and why the little junior sister turned into such a terrifying look when dealing with the big demon!

He always felt that the junior sister was affected by the monster. Before he figured out what was going on, he had better keep the junior sister away from the monster.

Only when Jingchen was far away did he dare to pass on the message to Mengyin.

"Little junior sister, I can't find my demon-transforming cauldron. I'm going back to the mountain to get it now. I'll send it back to you after I refine the demon marrow."

Gu Mengyin gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you half a month at most. You have some idea!"

It was about to happen, but there was no demon-transforming cauldron. Gu Mengyin could only wait patiently. She also wanted to see why her senior brother was so abnormal.

……

There were rumors in the city that it rained continuously because the emperor had done something immoral and God wanted to punish him.

Later, after the rain stopped, the rumors collapsed, and Yan Linyuan also used thunderous means to arrest those who spread the rumors among the people.

After being tortured to extract confessions, someone finally confessed that someone had paid them to tell them nonsense.

Yan Linyuan followed the clues and found the Luo family.

Luo Qi, who had been reflecting at home recently, almost jumped out of his chair when he heard the news.

"Who is so bold and dares to slander our Luo family!"

Ever since Luo Ji's accident, Luo Qi didn't know how calm and honest he was, and how could he get involved at such a time.

And those who spread rumors slandering the emperor will be beheaded.

Luo Qi couldn't sit still that day. He first went into the palace to explain the innocence of the Luo family to Yan Linyuan. With such an excited posture, he wished he would crash into the stone pillar of the hall the next moment.

After coming out of the palace, he didn't go back and went straight to the door of the three great families to beat and scold him.

What are you scolding?

Mainly because you thought you and I were brothers, but you just wanted to kick me out. No matter who came out to say it, it didn't work. It wasn't until Luo Qi felt comfortable with the scolding that he went back by himself.

Just when everyone thought Luo Qi felt comfortable scolding him, the matter was over. Who knows, a few days later, Luo Qi directly presented a list to Yan Linyuan.

He said that he found out that the mastermind of spreading rumors this time was a nephew of Zhu Liqun's brother-in-law.

Forget about presenting evidence, Luo Qi tied everyone up to Yan Linyuan.

"Your Majesty, this official is indeed innocent. This matter has nothing to do with the Luo family. Please keep an eye on it, Your Majesty."

Yan Linyuan glanced at the man tied to the ground and nodded, "I believe Mr. Luo."

Luo Qi was so moved by these words that he almost cried.

He admitted that among the four major aristocratic families, the Luo family was the weakest, but it would not be that easy for them to just split him up and share the food!
