"Third Sister, please keep our guests company. I'll take Xiuhua to see Master Chu. He's well-versed in the Mystic Cultivation Ghost Path; I expect he can help Xiuhua."
Gong Dao Yi immediately understood Su Qin's intention. If they could keep this under wraps, that would certainly be best.
"Hold it!"
Qiu Dao Ming blocked Gong Dao Yi's way.
Gong Dao Yi's expression stiffened. Qiu Dao Ming smiled. "If we're talking about the Mystic Cultivation Ghost Path, I've dabbled in it myself. Why not let Brother Gong go, and allow me to take a look at what's happening?"
Of the four, Qiu Dao Ming was the most wary. Though he couldn't think of any reason Gong Dao Yi would want to harm Gong Xiuhua, the scene before them was simply too hard to believe.
What had gotten into Gong Xiuhua that Gong Dao Yi had to restrain him? And now he was supposedly possessed by an evil spirit? Qiu Dao Ming found that explanation even more far-fetched. Gong Xiuhua had already attained the Yin Venerable realm and forged a true soul. What evil spirit would dare provoke a Yin Venerable?
Unable to figure out what was going on, Qiu Dao Ming didn't stubbornly rack his brains over it. He just felt they ought to let Gong Xiuhua speak. Even if an evil spirit really was involved, they could still think of a way to deal with it then.
In any case, letting someone whisk Gong Xiuhua away without a word was no solution. How were they supposed to explain that to Captain Xu later?
