Seeing Yun Qin’s cold attitude, Ma Yue shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Alright, I’ll respect your choices. I won’t ask anymore.”

This mysterious woman did not look old, but she could easily subdue the bewitching ghosts in the fog. Her abilities were beyond normal people’s understanding, and that made him both terrified and curious.

Although Ma Yue had millions of questions in his heart, when he saw Yun Qin close her eyes, he did not make another sound. Instead, he stared blankly at his right arm that no longer had any marks on it.

In the latter half of the night, while Yun Qin was still sleeping soundly, someone suddenly pushed her and woke her up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Hu Min, who also looked drowsy. Yun Qin finally realized that it was time for her shift.

Yun Qin sat up and saw Zhuang Sen yawning as he entered the tent. Hu Min gave her a look and sat beside the fire.

After Yun Qin sat beside the fire, Hu Min lowered her voice and asked, “The forest that you mentioned, is it far from here?”

Yun Qin glanced at the two tents in front of her. She could hear Zhuang Sen and Fatty snoring inside the tent. She replied, “It’s not far, just a 10-minute walk.”

Hu Min was satisfied with what she heard. She nodded and whispered, “We’ll head over when they’re fast asleep.”

After confirming that the people in both tents were fast asleep, Yun Qin and Hu Min quietly headed to the forest not far away.

When they entered the forest again, she felt that something blocked her senses again. However, Yun Qin already knew that was just the hidden ghosts’ doing, so she did not feel uneasy anymore.

After circling for a while, Yun Qin finally found the tree spirit, Hu Luo.

Standing under the tree, Hu Min looked doubtful and asked again, “Did my grandmother really turn into a tree?”

This tree looked like an ordinary tree. Hu Min couldn’t tell what was special about it.

Yun Qin nodded and knocked on the tree trunk. She said softly, “Hu Luo, Hu Luo, wake up.”

When Hu Min saw this, the surprise on her face became even more obvious. If she didn’t already know that Yun Qin had real abilities, she would think that Yun Qin was mentally ill.

However, just as Hu Min was lost in thought, a face appeared on the tree trunk. It looked at Yun Qin, then looked at Hu Min, and said, “Ah, I’m so sleepy. Why did you come in the middle of the night?”

This was the first time Hu Min heard a tree speak. She was so scared that she took two steps back. Then, she vigilantly looked at the human face on the tree trunk.

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, looked at Hu Min again and muttered, “This woman looks so familiar.”

Yun Qin touched the tree trunk and replied, “She is Hu Luo’s granddaughter. Her name is Hu Min.”

“What?” The tree spirit, Hu Luo, paused for a moment before her voice suddenly became louder. She said in surprise, “Granddaughter? Come over and let me take a look!”

Hu Min walked forward with a look of disgust and sized up the human face on the trunk.

“Keep your voice down. Don’t let anyone find us,” Yun Qin reminded.

The tree spirit was still immersed in the joy of “finding my family.” She looked at Hu Min’s face again and again as if she was very fond of it.

Hu Min finally could not help but ask, “Master Yun, where’s my grandmother’s corpse?”

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, was stunned for a moment before she mumbled, “Ah, it’s under my roots.”

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, thought that both parties would be very happy and excited to see each other. But now, it seemed that things were not as she imagined.

As the tree roots slowly parted, a complete skeleton and a set of clothes with the label “Meida Studio” appeared in front of the two of them.

Hu Min quickly went forward and flipped through her clothes, looking for something.

Yun Qin watched silently. She also flipped through the clothes earlier, so naturally, there was nothing.

Hu Luo did not find anything. She took a step forward and stepped over the skeleton, then asked, “What else is there?”

The human face on the tree trunk that Hu Min was staring at had an aggrieved expression. The tree spirit, Hu Luo, did not directly answer her question, instead, she scolded, “This is your grandmother, you…”

Hu Min, however, had an unfriendly look on her face. She repeated, “Is there anything else?”

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, did not answer. However, Yun Qin could feel her sadness.

Seeing that the tree spirit in front of her did not answer, Hu Min took out a small wooden sword. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Spirit monsters are afraid of fire. If you don’t tell me, I will burn you with fire.”

Yun Qin recognized that Hu Min was holding a mahogany sword. This item was commonly used against spiritual monsters. If Hu Min used the mahogany sword to start a fire, she could burn the immobile tree spirit to ashes.

Yun Qin could not bear it and spoke up to stop her. “Hu Min, Hu Luo’s consciousness manifested into this tree spirit…”

However, Hu Min interrupted, “She’s not my grandmother! My grandmother left something for me, and this tree spirit is withholding it.”

“I didn’t. I wanted to give it to you,” the tree spirit said aggrievedly. However, when she saw Hu Min’s cold gaze, she did not say anything else.. She pushed something out from under her root again.
