"Mo Zhu, younger sister, Xiao Mei."
Chen Mu looked at the phantom and fell into deep thought.
The other party's appearance made it hard for him not to associate her with Xiao Mei, but he didn't know Xiao Mei's full name, nor did he have any information about Xiao Mei's past in his memory, or rather, he had never paid attention to it before.
If she was truly Xiao Mei's older sister, then it would be quite reasonable. No wonder Xiao Mei would take such a great risk to secretly learn martial arts, and why she suddenly lost her spirit after being exposed by him.
Perhaps Xiao Mei was not a strong person to begin with, and it was only the hatred in her heart that supported her actions.
Of course.
In the end, these were all just guesses. Whether it was true or false would require asking tomorrow.
As for the Black Water Gang, Chen Mu had no impression of them.
In this chaotic era, let alone other prefectures, even the capital of Da Yuan was filled with gangs and a mix of good and bad.
He had some impression of the more famous and large gangs, but he couldn't remember the Black Water Gang at all, and wasn't sure if it was a gang from the capital or another prefecture.
But it seemed more likely to be a lower-level gang in the capital.
After all, that so-called gang leader, Zhang Hai, persecuted Mo Zhu's family to their ruin merely for his own selfish desires. Such a person couldn't possibly have any Martial Heart; he was just a petty villain.
"I will investigate the Black Water Gang and send Zhang Hai down to see you."
"Also, Xiao Mei is now my maidservant. If she is your sister, I can promise that she will not be bullied."
Chen Mu looked at Mo Zhu and spoke slowly.
Mo Zhu's soul phantom, like the previous Netherworld Ghost, didn't respond at all, just floated there quietly without moving.
After leaving his words.
Chen Mu flew towards the second phantom in the distance.
Last time, he was forcibly sent back just as he was about to approach the second Netherworld Ghost, but Chen Mu still decided to try and see if he could interact with two Netherworld Ghosts at once.
However.
Chen Mu's flying speed was very fast, but the white fluorescence on his body dimmed even faster.
Especially when he glanced back, his heart seemed to leap. Mo Zhu's soul phantom was following silently behind him.
No.
It should be said that she was pressed tightly against his back, less than a foot away!
Chen Mu was almost certain that if he didn't have that layer of white fluorescence on his body, Mo Zhu's soul phantom would probably pounce on him completely in the next moment!
He was now at the Sixth Rank Sorcerer level. Ordinary fierce ghosts couldn't affect him much, and even if she pounced on him, it was impossible for him to be taken over by her, but it would still be troublesome to deal with.
After all, he still needed the Soul Points she provided.
However.
Before the white fluorescence could completely disappear, Chen Mu was pulled by that invisible force again and instantly vanished from his original spot.
In Mo Zhu's line of sight, an invisible vortex suddenly appeared, and then Chen Mu was completely sucked into the vortex, finally disappearing into thin air.
Mo Zhu's soul projection also attempted to approach the vortex.
But when she tried to pass through, she couldn't touch the vortex at all. Her entire soul projection passed directly through it, as if the vortex was merely a reflection in a mirror, like her life in the mortal world, something that could no longer be reached.
Soon.
The vortex also disappeared.
Only Mo Zhu's soul projection remained rooted to the spot. After a moment of stillness, it floated up again, slowly circling the area where the vortex had vanished.
Bedroom.
Chen Mu's consciousness returned to his body.
He slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his temples, letting out a soft sigh.
This obsession was much more troublesome than the last one. He had to investigate the Black Water Gang first. He hoped Mo Zhu could provide him with more Soul Points.
Speaking of which, he still didn't know how the number of Soul Points was determined. After all, he had only resolved the obsessions of two people in total. He probably needed a few more to figure it out.
"Mo Zhu..."
"If Xiao Mei is her sister, then her real name should be Mo Mei?"
Chen Mu pondered.
But he didn't call Xiao Mei over to ask.
After all, she had just been sent away and might still be crying. Calling her over to ask about Mo Zhu again, if things were as he suspected, she might cry even more.
Now, Mo Zhu's obsession, perhaps like the previous two, was entangled with him. This obsession likely lacked normal logical thinking. If she somehow believed he had bullied Xiao Mei, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause.
Besides, it was already night. Asking for answers wouldn't accomplish anything.
Even if it was as he thought, he would have to wait until later, after investigating some information about the Black Water Gang, before he could begin to deal with it.
With this thought.
Chen Mu went to the bed and lay down gently.
Invisible to the naked eye, a phantom identical to Chen Mu silently floated out of Chen Mu's lying body, emitting faint specks of light.
Heart Soul Leaving Body!
After reaching the Sixth Rank, Sorcerers no longer needed sleep.
Or rather, sleep was only necessary for the physical body, because the Heart Soul was like a fish in water in the nighttime environment. Therefore, at night, one could leave the body to meditate or Soul Roam in all directions.
Chen Mu didn't plan to Soul Roam very far, but he intended to take a brief tour of Xuanguo Estate to see if he could find anything, such as information about the previous ghost encounter.
He was now a Sixth Rank Sorcerer.
Even without a flying sword, he could easily crush Sixth Rank Martial Artists. Even against a Fifth Rank Martial Artist, it would be difficult for them to defeat him at night.
And in a state of pure Heart Soul Soul Roaming, even a Fourth Rank Martial Artist would find it hard to threaten him at night.
Silently.
Chen Mu's Heart Soul floated upwards, passing directly through the beams, emerging from directly above the roof, and then his gaze swept in all directions.
In an instant, Xiao Mei and Xiao Feng in the side room, as well as Ren Yan who was still busy, came into his view.
Xiao Mei wasn't practicing.
She was staying motionless in her room.
Xiao Feng had already gone to bed to rest. Chen Mu's gaze swept through her room, and he didn't find anything unusual.
After a brief thought.
Chen Mu extended his sight further out.
There was nothing unusual outside the courtyard either. The entire backyard was quiet. Occasionally, maids and nannies passed by, but they were all cautious, not daring to make any noise.
Chen Mu's gaze swept over several nearby courtyards.
Ning Shi was also in her bedroom, seemingly about to rest. There were maids serving her nearby, and they seemed quite diligent and responsible, much better than his side.
To the north, another courtyard, which he remembered should be Chen Yao's courtyard.
Chen Yao was his half-sister. Their relationship had been quite good since childhood. She was a little younger than him, seemingly sixteen years old.
When Chen Mu looked over, he saw Chen Yao in her bedroom, holding a pose. With just a quick glance, he knew she was practicing.
"Eighth Rank... No wonder she hasn't married at this age."
Chen Mu looked a little more closely with slight surprise.
Chen Yao's blood energy was significantly denser than Xiao Mei's. Based on his discernment, she was undoubtedly an Eighth Rank Martial Artist, and she didn't seem far from Seventh Rank.
To have Eighth Rank Martial Dao cultivation at the age of sixteen, her talent could be said to be quite good. It was no wonder there were more maids and nannies in her courtyard than in his and Ning Shi's combined.
If it were back when he had just awakened Spirit Sight, observing an Eighth Rank Martial Artist like this would definitely have been sensed by the other party.
But now.
Chen Mu was already a Sixth Rank Sorcerer, and his Heart Soul had left his body. The mere Eighth Rank Chen Yao naturally didn't sense anything and continued practicing in her bedroom.
Although blood ties were limited to the physical body, Chen Mu had no interest in peeking at a young girl practicing. He quickly shifted his gaze and swept further out.
His Heart Soul also left his own courtyard.
With a rough scan, a large area of the backyard didn't have many strong enough blood energies. The strongest was merely a Seventh Rank Martial Artist, completely unable to detect his Spirit Sight.
"Seems much weaker than I imagined."
Chen Mu couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
