Chapter 95: The Soul-Restoring Pearl is Missing!
My cousin probably wasn't awake yet and ignored my teasing.
"Have you packed your things? Let's go to the dining hall to eat something and then go." After an unknown amount of time, my cousin said with his hands on his temples.
"I just woke up too, and haven't started cleaning yet, but Mingyan is gone. I wonder if he went to the dining hall to eat."
I rubbed my head, threw back the quilt, got out of bed and started packing my things.
My cousin was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "Hurry up and check if your soul-returning bead is still there."
"How could it be gone? I hold it in my arms all night..."
I replied to my cousin with a smile while his hand reached into my arms.
But halfway through, I realized that the box containing the Soul-Restoring Pearl was missing, so I didn't continue talking.
"Are you still there?!"
My mind went blank, things were gone...
But we got it with great difficulty, and I didn't dare tell my cousin.
But it was obvious that he had seen it from my expression.
"It must be Mingyan!" The cousin covered his aching temple and said, "I was so happy yesterday that I let my guard down. Why did this guy come here?!"
I swallowed with a grunt and dared not speak again.
At this moment, I was completely stunned. I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, and I didn’t know how to react to my cousin.
Just then, Dong Jing came over from her room after packing her things.
When she opened the door, she saw my sad face and teased me, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you've been cuckolded?"
I looked at her for a long time, not knowing how to tell her about this.
I haven't accepted the fact that the Soul-Restoring Orb is missing in my heart, and I can't say it out loud.
Seeing that my cousin and I looked unhappy, Dong Jing put away his playful smile and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
As she spoke, she walked into the room. As soon as she entered, she frowned and covered her nose with her hand.
"What's that smell in your room? Why does it smell like the incense of love?"
Soul-bewitching incense?
My cousin suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at me and said, "He must have used the soul-bewitching incense to bewitch both of us, and then stole the soul-returning bead from your arms."
"What did you just say? Don't steal it." Dong Jing widened his eyes, looking unacceptable.
"Who is he? Mingyan?" Dong Jing asked again.
I nodded and said nothing.
Dong Jing stamped her feet and gritted her teeth in anger.
"We wanted to take him back with us out of kindness, but he actually stole the most important thing!"
I also know that Dong Jing is anxious, but the more she is like this, the more uncomfortable I feel.
If I hadn't brought Mingyan to the dormitory yesterday, he wouldn't have been able to stay and sleep with us, and he would have been even less likely to steal the Resurrection Pearl from me.
"I'm sorry. I lost something that I worked so hard to get." My voice fell into the dust. At this moment, I wanted to die.
I know that everyone has been secretly helping me find the resurrection orb because I was struck by an ancient curse.
Now I have finally found it, but the soul-restoring pearl has been lost again.
Dong Jing just sensed that I was in a particularly low mood, so he stopped scolding me.
"It's okay. You don't have to blame yourself. It's obvious that this man came for us from the beginning. He might not be a simple person. What he said about his family is very likely false."
Although Dong Jing's words were meant to comfort me, I didn't want to care whether Ming Yan's words were true or false. I just wanted to get my resurrection bead back.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way, but not now. Let's leave here first and go to the dining hall to eat something, so we don't starve to death on the way."
My cousin patted my shoulder and signaled me not to be too nervous.
But the amount of information is really too much, at least I can't digest it all in a short time.
"Do you still remember that I used your blood to fix the Soul-Restoring Pearl? It only recognizes you as its master now. No matter who gets it, it will basically be useless. It's just a broken pearl."
My cousin's eyes were a little evasive, and I couldn't tell whether he was trying to trick me or not.
But I believe him.
"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go to the dining hall."
While I was packing my things, I felt completely confused.
My cousin later told me that when I got home he would teach me how to use my own blood to search souls.
"Soul searching doesn't just mean searching the soul, it can also be used to find objects. I guess Ming Yan must have already taken away the water he drank from our car. Without his objects, we have no way of finding him. But we don't care where he is, because our goal is the Soul-Returning Orb. The Soul-Returning Orb is fixed with your blood, so we can find it through your writing."
After hearing what my cousin said, I felt relieved.
No matter how much I refuse to face it, the fact is that it has already happened. I can only force myself to digest it as quickly as possible and then think of a solution.
The only solution now is to learn how to search souls.
After eating something in the dining hall, I didn’t plan to rush home. After all, there were more troubles waiting for me to deal with.
"Please stay, benefactor."
As soon as we walked out of Gaoshan Temple, the abbot called me.
"Amitabha, although I know this matter has nothing to do with me, it is not my style to know and not say anything. Donor , your illness may be cured by other methods. If possible, you'd better not mess with the donor with that name."
The abbot seemed to know the inside story of many things. I wanted to ask more, but he shook his head and turned away.
Watching him leave, I couldn't tell for a moment whether I should listen to him or not.
But in a flash, I was drawn into the vortex.
I thought I could live my life in peace and at most I could make a side job cleaning the house on top of my main job.
After all, sweeping the house can earn a lot of , so no matter how much I refuse, I will help my cousin as long as he asks.
I didn't expect that my life would undergo such a drastic change after I turned around and left Gaoshan Temple, but that's a story for later.
"Let's go quickly, before the weather changes again."
My cousin urged us to get in the car.
This time he was driving in a different direction than we were coming from. It turned out that he had asked the young monk for the correct way yesterday when we went to the dining hall.
Our car drove onto a main road, which reduced the time by more than half compared to the previous trip.
It was only a day later that I got home.
