After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

"Unless, the Heavenly Void Mansion takes action."

The boss looked at Lu Bai and Ji Fuyao with awe in his eyes.

Clearly, he was confident that he had guessed the answer correctly.

If the Heavenly Void Mansion were to take action, their identities must be extraordinary.

Lu Bai paused for a moment and praised, "Boss, you have a good eye."

"The Heavenly Void Lord is no longer involved in worldly affairs. Is the young master a friend of the Fourth Miss?"

The Fourth Miss...

Lu Bai wondered, who is that?

He cleared his throat and said mysteriously, "Let me correct that, we are close friends."

Ji Fuyao gave him a strange look.

This is your first time in Heavenly Void City, how do you know Leng Qingying?

The boss was taken aback, then quickly smiled, "My apologies, my apologies."

"Keep it low-key," Lu Bai pressed his palm down, as if he didn't want too many people to know.

"Understood, understood," the boss immediately nodded.

Lu Bai's expression became serious. He had been too caught up in joking around and had forgotten about the main issue.

"Why can't we open our room?"

The boss looked a bit embarrassed at his words.

"Well, I thought you two might have encountered some trouble, so I took back the room."

"My mistake, my mistake."

"To compensate Mr. Lu, I have decided to waive your room fee for three days. How does that sound?"

"Three days?" Lu Bai frowned.

"Five days, no, seven days," the boss quickly changed his offer.

If it weren't for the special status of the other party, he wouldn't have given a single day of compensation.

"Fine!"

Lu Bai reluctantly agreed, considering it as a punishment for him.

"Xiao Bai."

At this moment, a voice transmission from Senior Sister sounded in his ear.

"What's wrong?"

"I wasn't able to enter the lobby at the last moment, it wasn't an accident, someone pushed me out," Ji Fuyao said solemnly.

"Hmm?" Lu Bai narrowed his eyes.

He recalled the scene at that time, and it was indeed quite strange.

According to Senior Sister's speed, she should have easily entered the lobby, but she ended up outside. It turned out that someone had interfered.

"What do you mean?"

"Check the recorded images from the time."

"Right!" Lu Bai suddenly remembered that there were surveillance cameras in this world too.

"Boss, my sister couldn't enter last night, we suspect someone obstructed her. So, we would like to view the recorded images, we hope you can cooperate," Lu Bai said with a serious expression.

"Oh?"

The boss's eyes rolled.

Generally, the footage from the inn cannot be made public because it involves guests' privacy.

But this young master Lu is a close friend of the Fourth Miss...

"Alright."

The boss gritted his teeth.

He led the two of them to a small room where a huge projection stone was placed, and the images were projected into the air.

Lu Bai took a look and found it similar to the projectors from his previous life.

The boss performed a series of gestures, and the images began to play.

At a certain moment, they stopped, just as the pale blue barrier was about to descend.

"Move forward a bit," Ji Fuyao said.

The boss manipulated the images, moving them forward frame by frame.

Lu Bai stared closely, not missing any details.

As the images progressed, Ji Fuyao's figure finally appeared at the door. She looked up at the top, then accelerated towards the entrance.

Just then.

Her figure abruptly stopped, and then staggered backward.

"Stop, go back," both of them shouted in unison.

The boss complied.

However, even after watching it several times, they still couldn't find any clues. It was as if she had bumped into an invisible wall.

"I remember that push happened twice. Move forward a bit more."

The images continued to play.

"Here," Ji Fuyao signaled to stop.

This time, her retreat was even more pronounced. She retreated all the way to the center of the street, and when she tried to turn back, the barrier had already descended.

The two of them watched the images repeatedly.

"It's him."

Lu Bai suddenly pointed at someone.

Ji Fuyao focused her gaze on that person.

She couldn't see his face as he had his back to the projection stone. But when she was about to enter the door, his right hand made a subtle pushing motion. After that, Ji Fuyao staggered.

"That's right, it's him."

Ji Fuyao took out the projection stone and recorded this scene.

After thanking the boss, they returned to their room.

Sitting at the table, they brought up the images again, their brows furrowed.

"Who did Senior Sister offend?"

"Too many to count."

Ji Fuyao had been on missions for years, inevitably getting into conflicts with people. It was impossible for her to remember every single one.

Lu Bai moistened his throat with a cup of tea and said, "If the culprit is a woman, it's understandable. She must be jealous of Senior Sister being close to me, so she resorted to killing."

"And as for the young man..."

"He couldn't be Senior Sister's admirer, could he? You have someone in your heart, rejected him, and he, out of love turned to revenge."

"That must be it."

Ji Fuyao had a black line on her forehead. "I have someone in my heart? Who?"

"Me!" Lu Bai shamelessly said.

Senior Sister gave him a cold and disdainful look.

They watched for a while longer but didn't gain any more insights, so they had to temporarily give up.

However, a warning bell had been sounded in their hearts.

In Heavenly Void City, someone was actually trying to harm them. They would have to be extra careful when they went out in the future.

"Here, take this communication jade talisman."

Lu Bai handed it to Ji Fuyao and took the opportunity to touch her.

"If a similar situation happens again, send me a signal, and I will come to save you on a colorful auspicious cloud."

Ji Fuyao nodded.

"Oh! Hong'e didn't come back last night, did she?" Lu Bai looked at the neatly arranged bedding and said.

For some reason, his heart tightened.

Strange, why am I worried about her?

It must be because... of the debt of gratitude for saving my life.
