Yu Yijun saw Han Hui looking confused and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Han Hui quickly shook her head and took out her phone to pay. "No, no, I'll pay Master Yu right away."
Although Han Hui didn't entirely trust Yu Yijun, she absolutely trusted Yu Daochen. With Yu Daochen around, her appearance should be restored.
Yu Daochen was helpless. He had originally planned to extort more money from that little girl, but it seemed his plan had fallen through. However, Yu Daochen couldn't understand why the little girl was only charging three hundred yuan.
Han Hui hailed a Didi to the park where she found the money. On the way, Yu Daochen and Han Hui explained things simply. Since they didn't know who cast the spell, they had to use the most basic method of waiting for the culprit. Therefore, her appearance couldn't be restored immediately. Han Hui nodded in understanding.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a park. The three of them got out, and Han Hui led Yu Daochen and Yu Yijun to the spot where she had found the money. There was a man-made lake nearby. Although it wasn't large, it was filled with lotus flowers. There weren't many people during the day. Usually, couples came here at night, and for reasons they all understood.
"Master Yu, what do we do now?" Han Hui asked. She couldn't go to work, and she couldn't even see her family.
Yu Daochen smiled faintly. "Of course, we wait for the caster to appear." People who used such evil arts usually had fixed locations. If they waited there, they could catch the culprit. To avoid alarming the suspect, Han Hui was called back by Yu Daochen, and Yu Yijun, having nothing to do, followed Han Hui to her place.
Yu Daochen sat on a chair, waiting for nightfall. Meanwhile, Yu Yijun, seeing Han Hui was bored, took her to eat ice cream, with Han Hui paying, of course.
At 7:30 PM, the park began to fill up with people, mostly couples, who headed for secluded spots. Yu Daochen waited patiently in his spot. A whole night passed without him catching anyone. This continued for three days. During these three days, Yu Daochen slept during the day and staked out at night, while Yu Yijun was taken by Han Hui to eat ice cream, go shopping, and buy dresses. Han Hui also realized that Yu Daochen was the one truly handling the matter, so she took extra care of Yu Yijun, buying her a new dress almost every day.
On the fourth night, just as Yu Daochen was about to give up if the person didn't appear that night, the person finally showed up. At 1:30 AM, Yu Daochen sat on his chair, yawning. Suddenly, a figure caught his attention. The person was wearing black clothes, with a hood pulled low, and as they quickly passed Yu Daochen, they took something out of their pocket and threw it on the ground. The prey had arrived.
Yu Daochen smiled faintly and stood up, reaching for the Kang Long Jian at his waist, ready to take the person down with one blow. The person seemed to sense Yu Daochen, stopped, and reached into their pocket. Both were on high alert, not daring to be careless without knowing the other's strength.
"Baby, come give me a kiss~."
Suddenly, a man's voice came from beside them. Yu Daochen turned to see a lecherous man with his arm around a woman, his mouth already leaning in. The woman, seeing Yu Daochen and the man in front of them, was slightly embarrassed. "Oh, stop it, there are people here." The man next to the woman, seeing people ahead, unhappily withdrew his mouth.
At that moment, the person quickly walked away. Yu Daochen followed closely. The two walked along a small path. Only a few streetlights cast a faint glow on the dark path. Suddenly, the man ahead stopped, his back to Yu Daochen, and said coldly, "Friend, I don't know why you're following me. I don't think I've offended you, have I?"
"No, I just couldn't sleep and was admiring the park's night view," Yu Daochen said, his hand already reaching for the Kang Long Jian at his waist.
"Is that so? There's a废弃的鱼塘 (abandoned fish pond) ahead. People have died there. You might see some unclean things at night. I advise you not to go there," the man warned again.
Yu Daochen smiled faintly. "Oh, really? I'm usually interested in ghosts and spirits. Now that you mention it, I really want to go and see."
"People should know when to advance and when to retreat."
Suddenly, the man turned sharply and threw something from his pocket. At the same time, Yu Daochen drew the Kang Long Jian and quickly slashed with his other hand, muttering, "Huo Li Zhan!" He then swung the Kang Long Jian and unleashed a flame sword energy that shot towards the man.
The flames were exceptionally bright against the night sky. Seeing the Kang Long Jian in Yu Daochen's hand, the man's expression changed. He dodged the incoming flame sword energy and quickly turned to flee. In the firelight, Yu Daochen also saw the man's face clearly: he was in his fifties, with unusually prominent eyebrows, much like Zhang Fei of ancient times. Seeing the man trying to escape, Yu Daochen pursued him. The man ahead cursed inwardly. Damn it, I've heard of the great Master Yu of Jiangdu's reputation. Today, I've finally met him.
