Presumably, those evil guys took advantage of the fact that no one would doubt them and targeted the girls participating in the Lantern Festival. How despicable!
Yun Yao staggered back a step, a deep feeling of powerlessness and helplessness surged into her heart, making her fall into unprecedented panic. She had to pay the price for her impulsiveness and overestimation of her own abilities. It was her careless behavior that brought a stain to the Nine Gates, making the Nine Gates a huge joke in the court.
She should have gone to find Sister Youyou. If Sister Youyou was here, perhaps the case would have been solved long ago. It was because of her arrogance, or perhaps she wanted to prove something, that she had created the current situation.
Yuchi Jingbei stayed by her side the whole time. He felt worried and anxious when he saw her confused face, but he didn't know how to help her because he didn't know her current situation.
“Miss Yun Yao…” Yuchi Jingbei called out softly to the dazed Yun Yao.
The last firework fell into the night sky, and the people gathered by the lake began to disperse again, and the crowd surged towards Yun Yao. Seeing this, Yuchi Jingbei didn't care about the inconvenience of men and women, and pulled Yun Yao's wrist to hide aside to avoid the crowd.
"I was wrong..." Yun Yao said blankly, panic was like the crowd in front of her, flooding her body, making her body weak as if she had lost strength. She sat under a big willow tree beside the crowd, holding her head, looking at the densely packed feet coming and going, "I was really wrong..." A choked voice came out of her mouth. Because of her impulsiveness and arbitrary decision, she couldn't save anyone and couldn't solve any case. Tears fell from her eyes and fell to the ground, shocking Yuchi Jingbei.
Yuchi Jingbei squatted down hurriedly, his face flushed with anxiety: "Miss Yunyao, don't cry, what happened? Can I help you? Don't cry!" Yuchi Jingbei frantically took out a silk scarf and wiped Yunyao's tears, "Don't you want to save people? I will call Yuchi Jun to help you save them, don't cry! Don't worry!"
Yun Yao raised her face sobbing, and the tear marks on her face instantly hurt Yuchi Jingbei's heart.
Yun Yao looked at Yuchi Jingbei with regret: "I thought... I was the protagonist of fate... But in the end... I... was still a chess piece in the hands of fate... I, I don't know what I'm doing at all... I've been pushed around all night... Pushed around... Woo... I don't know what I'm doing..."
Yuchi Jingbei looked at Yun Yao crying helplessly, feeling heartbroken as if a piece of flesh had been lost. But if he panicked at this moment, he might really be unable to help.
So, he tried to calm down, looked at Yun Yao tenderly, and said softly: "My mother said that if you feel that you have no control over your own destiny, it only means that you are not working hard enough. Miss Yun Yao, tonight, let's work hard together!" Yuchi Jingbei looked at Yun Yao encouragingly.
Yun Yao stared at Yuchi Jingbei and stopped crying. His words echoed in her mind: Not trying hard enough...
Yes, she didn’t even try hard. Just because she saw this huge crowd of people, she gave up
She calmed herself down, quickly wiped away her tears, put aside her usual arrogance, and also put aside her proud attitude in front of Yuchi Jingbei.
"This whole evening, I acted on impulse. Many times, I made hasty decisions without thinking carefully. My brother always said that I was impulsive and did bad things, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true." After Yun Yao let go of all her attitudes, she became calm. Self-reflection made her thoughts clearer.
She raised her head and looked at the endless stream of people, who couldn't even tell who was who: "In the past, to catch monsters and ghosts, you just had to fight, you didn't have to think too much..."
Yuchi Jingbei's eyes widened immediately. What did Yun Yao say? Catch monsters and ghosts!
Yun Yao lowered her head with a feeling of helplessness: "Now, this is not about catching monsters or ghosts, but investigating a person. It turns out... investigating a person... is the most difficult..."
Yuchi Jingbei squatted beside Yun Yao in a daze, staring blankly at Yun Yao's lost face. What Yun Yao said... catching monsters and ghosts... was it true
Are there really ghosts in this world?!
Regardless of whether it is true or not, if it is true, then Yun Yao is very powerful! Yun Yao usually fights demons! How can she be the same as them mortals!
Yuchi Jingbei slowly came back to his senses after being greatly shocked. No wonder Yun Yao looked so frail and petite, yet she could easily kick a grown man three meters away. All of this had a reasonable explanation.
Seeing that Yun Yao was still depressed, he couldn't help but hold Yun Yao's hands tightly: "Miss Yun Yao! If you can really catch monsters and ghosts, then you must have great abilities! Use your abilities, I believe you can find the person you are looking for!" Yuchi Jingbei couldn't help but reveal admiration in his eyes!
Yun Yao raised her face and stared at Yuchi Jingbei, whose eyes were full of strength and determination. His expression of belief suddenly turned into a blazing flame, which instantly poured into Yun Yao's depressed heart, burning away all the troubled thoughts in her mind and igniting strength and confidence throughout her body!
Yuchi Jingbei was born into a family of military commanders, and boosting morale was a talent of the Yuchi family. In marching and fighting, morale was the most important thing. If there was no morale, the battle would be lost without a fight!
Yuchi Jingbei further said: "Think about it quickly, what ability do you have to find someone?" Yuchi Jingbei looked at Yun Yao with full conviction and full trust in her.
Yun Yao slowly calmed down. Yuchi Jingbei's hand holding hers continuously transmitted heat and strength. Yun Yao finally cheered up again in this heat and strength. She immediately looked at Yuchi Jingbei solemnly: "I have it! But will you be afraid if I use it?"
Yuchi Jingbei couldn't help but laugh: "Is there anything in this world that I, Yuchi Jingbei, am afraid of?" He simply couldn't imagine what else could make him, Yuchi Jingbei, afraid.
Yun Yao grinned at him: "You said it, if you are afraid, we will never meet again!" Yun Yao puffed up her cheeks and looked fierce. She was serious. If a man wanted to pursue her but was afraid of her, she, Yun Yao, did not like such a cowardly man.
Yuchi Jingbei was startled, and immediately held Yun Yao's hand tightly: "I won't be afraid!" His eyes became extremely firm, as if he was swearing!
"Okay! Then you have to hold my hand tightly. When I use this ability, I will close my eyes because I have to concentrate. However, my ability has a certain range, so I can't find it within this range. I need you to hold my hand and move forward, okay?" Yun Yao looked at Yuchi Jingbei seriously. Yuchi Jingbei will become her eyes. Can she trust him
Yuchi Jingbei's face immediately turned red. It was only then that he realized that he had been holding Yun Yao's hand all along! (To be continued)
