The Restless Spirit’s Father - Chapter 363

However, when he was thinking, he had his head down. It was also because of the pain radiating from his abdomen. Soon, he couldn’t contain it, and his face had become so pale. He stopped by a window and rested with labored breathing. His eyes moved up and saw that neither Wu Zhen nor Wu Shuang stopped to take a look.

Wu Jiao’s only sighed in resignation. If only their mother was still alive, someone would at least be taking care of him. Then again, there was no use in wanting to rewind the reel of time.

He was preparing to leave the window when he realized that something was standing outside the window. His eyes moved to take a look, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw that a woman was there. Actually, she was pressing her face against the glass and grinning like a maniac. If only he could move freely, he would be jerking away in an instant. However, he was reduced to only trembling on the spot.

“…Jiaojiao…” The woman called out as she grinned wider. The glass in front of her then started to get sliced as if diamonds were being dragged across it. There was a screeching sound, but Wu Jiao couldn’t even run away.

The man only moved away and flattened his back on the opposite wall. This woman was an entity, and he was so sure that he wouldn’t be able to outrun her. He could only strengthen his will and glare at it to death. “So… did Hades send you here? How did you get through the barriers? Things like you should be barred from entering.”

As if understanding the implication of the man, she smiled. The woman held onto the glass and entered the hallway through the hole she just drew. She then pointed to her face. “Recognized.”

Wu Jiao didn’t know what that exactly meant, but to be recognized by the barrier meant that she was carrying the Qiao family’s entity seal. So this woman was not an enemy? He swallowed the saliva building up in his mouth. “So you’re from the Qiao family instead?”

“Yes.” The woman nodded and saw the wound on his abdomen. She then took a step closer and reached out her hand. “…Bihan helps…”

“Oh…” Wu Jiao didn’t really know what to do, but he was still afraid that this thing would kill him. Then again, what if he ended up offending the entity if he refused? Tch, no matter. He was dead either way.

He took her hand, and she easily went to possess his body. Wu Jiao was shocked when her image collided with his, and his racing heart couldn’t do much anyway. Only when his body started walking on its own did he realize that he was still conscious despite the possession. It’s just that… the female entity was heading to the place where he should be going as well.

In his mind, it was like he hesitated to speak. However, before he could think of words to call the attention of the female entity, a familiar figure showed up at the corner. Wu Shuang glared at the strange posture of the injured brother. “You can move now? Let’s go and head over. Qiao Weilun needed us there now.”

“Alright.” Wu Jiao’s eyes quivered inwardly. Someone else was in complete control of his body, and he was increasingly getting close to his sister. He was a bit terrified of watching his own body mutilate his own family. Even if he hated this sister, she was still once his snotty, crybaby little girl.

“The situation didn’t look good.” The sister huffed as she moved her head to just get a glimpse of Wu Jiao to see if he was following her. “That Project Hades could summon his own Kings that are even breaching the Demon rank. Moreover, he had transcending greater ghosts and an ancient demon. Not to mention that those troublesome mercenaries are here, too.”

Wu Shuang was walking in front of him, and he could feel like the female entity was so interested in his sister’s gait. It was like she was a predator stalking her prey from a very close distance. The older brother wanted to give Wu Shuang a hint, but he could not even fight the possession.

From Wu Shuang’s perspective, her brother was still thinking. However, since he didn’t arrive with an answer after a long while, she only rolled her eyes. “Big Brother, just keep quiet and recuperate. I don’t think the Qiao family will fall from just one person.”

The two arrived at a courtyard, but they were surprised to see that aside from the Qiao shamans, the other protected guests were also there. More importantly, most of them looked like they had no idea why they were out there. As Wu Shuang and Wu Jiao walked closer, a particularly impatient old woman flicked her hand fan open and used it to cool herself. Her voice then echoed in the quiet courtyard.

“Why are we here, Mr. Qiao?” Song Wangyin paid a little mind to the newcomers. She was more concerned about what Qiao Weilun was about to say. The Qiao shamans were doing something strange in the courtyard, but it didn’t look like they were building a shield to protect them at all. She didn’t even know why the Qiao family thought that the outside was safer than the inside.

“Miss Song, please don’t be impatient.” Qiao Weilun glanced at the old hag before taking a look at everyone. They were all here now, the ones that sought the protection of the Qiao family. In total, there were twenty-seven people here from a dozen of different families.

He suddenly frowned when he saw Song Lisa fiddling with her phone behind one of her brothers. Qiao Weilun quickly moved to snatch Song Lisa’s phone and took a look at what she was doing. His countenance only soured before he glared at the woman. “How dare you…”

Song Lisa’s face only paled, but she was more scared of the kind of death she would receive. Song Wangyin dragged them to the Qiao family to the protected, but Song Lisa actually wanted to run to the Mian family. That was why she was texting Mian Tianni to pick her up. However, the Matriarch was not responded. Now that she was discovered, she was just hoping that she would suffer from a kinder death.

Knowing that they had been compromised one way or another, Qiao Weilun actually wanted to slap Song Lisa to the ground. However, before he could even move his hand, the Qiao shaman leader in charge of the oration gave him an update. It was ready.

A grin then curled his lips before he dropped and stomped at the phone heavily to break it. He turned around and raised a hand. “Do it!”

“Release!” Multiple Qiao shamans didn’t think twice in shifting their hand seals. That last word actually made the guests trembled from fright, especially Song Lisa and Wu Jiao.
