After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 278 Making the Deal

Unexpectedly, Ye Luwen was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he raised his head and laughed, "Beauty, you are still too naive. Where is the high priest?"

Seeing Ye Luwen suddenly so confident, Xu Yingying's expression became much more serious and she looked around cautiously.

Today was the second time she heard the name of the high priest, but she knew nothing about this high priest.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked out from behind Ye Luwen. He was wearing a mask, and Xu Yingying couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the aura around the high priest made Xu Yingying very afraid.

"High Priest, you have seen everything just now. I leave this place to you!" After saying that, Ye Luwen flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Here, only Xu Yingying and the high priest were left confronting each other.

The high priest said nothing. After Ye Luwen left, he released the soul in his hand.

Xu Yingying looked at the ghosts surrounding the high priest and suddenly realized that the formation here should be the work of the high priest, so the current high priest’s strength was definitely not inferior to hers.

Xu Yingying knew that she couldn't confront the high priest head-on. Since they were in the same industry, Xu Yingying came up with a plan.

"I've heard of the high priest of Wenwa for a long time. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved. But we are all from the same community. Why would the high priest have to be so aggressive towards a little girl like me?" Xu Yingying smiled at the high priest.

However, the high priest did not appreciate Xu Yingying's friendly attitude. On the contrary, he directly scolded Xu Yingying and said, "My little friend, we cannot work together if we are on different paths. Put away your little thoughts. I will not be fooled by you. Just give up on this idea!"

After saying that, the high priest commanded the ghosts behind him to go towards Xu Yingying.

Seeing that her lobbying was futile, Xu Yingying gave up the idea of ​​inciting the high priest to rebel and simply confronted him.

The two of them had comparable skills, but the high priest was many years older than Xu Yingying, so naturally he knew much more than Xu Yingying. Seeing this, he was unwilling to get entangled with Xu Yingying.

While those ghosts were disturbing Xu Yingying's life, he released another ghost, a female ghost, and the high priest called her "Taoyao".

It was unknown what the high priest said to her, and Tao Yao took advantage of the chaos and came to Xu Yingying, pretending to be someone from Xu Yingying's side... Oh no, a ghost.

Xu Yingying naturally also noticed the female ghost, but seeing that the high priest looked confident, Xu Yingying simply pretended that she noticed nothing. The high priest was delighted upon seeing this, but his expression remained calm.

The goal was achieved, and the high priest didn't want to entangle any more. He simply waved his sleeves, took back his soul, and snorted coldly, "Today I will let you go for now. If you have any crooked thoughts again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

After saying this, the high priest left the place without stopping.

Xu Yingying was afraid that the high priest would make a comeback, so she stayed there for a moment. After confirming that the high priest had really left, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the strange female ghost that appeared beside her, and turned back to the room.

"What's your name?" Xu Yingying closed the door and asked without turning her head.

This stumped Tao Yao. She thought Xu Yingying was not asking her, and she was looking around to see if there was anyone else around.

But when Xu Yingying turned around, she looked straight into Tao Yao's eyes.

Tao Yao belatedly pointed at herself and said, "Are you asking me? Can you see me?"

Xu Yingying looked at Tao Yao with some confusion, and then her eyes gradually became full of pity.

Tao Yao noticed the change in her eyes and blushed, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a fool."

"Oh~" Xu Yingying suddenly realized, but she still looked at Tao Yao as if she was a fool.

"Oh, my name is Tao Yao, you must be Xu Yingying. Since you can see me, why did you bring me in here? Don't you know that I was sent by the high priest?" Tao Yao curiously circled around Xu Yingying for a few times, feeling a little confused.

"Of course I know you were sent by the high priest, so I kept you by my side." Xu Yingying said as a matter of course.

"Why?" Tao Yao couldn't understand Xu Yingying's train of thought.

"Because I want to make a deal with you?"

"Make a deal with me? You've got the wrong guy. I'm working for the high priest."

"I know you don't mean it." Xu Yingying said firmly in the face of Tao Yao's disbelief.

After hearing this, Taoyao fell silent.

"So, Taoyao, are you willing to help me?" Xu Yingying asked softly.

"How...can I help you?" Tao Yao was silent for a long time, but finally responded to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying was overjoyed, "So, you agree?"

"Of course, it was not my intention to follow the high priest. If he had not used some means to forcibly detain me, I would not have worked for him. Now that I can finally get away from him, I am naturally happy. If you can help me kill him, it would be great." Tao Yao was happy to hear this.

Xu Yingying was silent for a moment. She didn't expect it to be so easy. She was a little dazed. Could it be that the God of Luck really began to favor her? "

As for the high priest, after reporting to Ye Luwen, he went straight back to his residence, without realizing that Tao Yao had betrayed him.

Tao Yao seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said to Xu Yingying: "But there is still a connection between the high priest and me, and I can't remove it by myself. I need your help, otherwise, I'm afraid I will still be controlled by him."

Xu Yingying nodded. She could understand this. After all, she would make a contract with the ghosts to ensure that they would not turn against her.

Afterwards, Xu Yingying tried to find a way to release Tao Yao's control while keeping an eye on the needle in the well.

Tao Yao sometimes followed Xu Yingying to observe, but she still couldn't see anything in a short period of time.

"Taoyao, you have been with the high priest for such a long time, do you really not know how the high priest set up this formation?" Xu Yingying asked again without giving up.

"I don't know anything. He often locks me up. There are many things I haven't seen. How many times have I told you this?!" Tao Yao seemed to be having a headache because of Xu Yingying's repetitive questioning.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying had to give up and think of another way.

However, Xu Yingying did not expect that Ye Luwen had not given up on her and even wanted to force himself on her.

But with the lesson learned from the last time, Xu Yingying made a special observation. After making sure that the high priest did not follow, she released the ghost without hesitation, scaring Ye Luwen to death.

Tao Yao was watching from the side, laughing.
