"San Shui, what should I do next?"
After parting ways with Luo Sheng and the others, Shen Xi was in no hurry to act. She wanted to hear Chen Miao's advice first.
Compared with Luo Sheng, Chen Miao was clearly on another level.
If nothing else, Luo Sheng certainly couldn't chat with her remotely like this.
"Find out what really happened to the deceased, but don't go into her home or touch anything connected to her. Also, look for aged yang wood in the village, and somewhere that sells talisman materials."
Reading the blood-red words before her, Shen Xi felt reassured.
Just as Shen Xi was about to head into the village to investigate, she spotted a child sitting against a persimmon tree nearby.

"Thank you! You're amazing. You can climb trees, but I can't."
At her praise, pride immediately spread across the child's face.
"Of course! I'm the best tree climber
