“Master, you’re finished already?”

A few minutes later, the old principal looked at the little Master who had returned with a relaxed expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Actually, he knew asking this was redundant. If it wasn’t resolved, who would return halfway through a fight?

What astonished him was, that thing had nearly destroyed the entire school, yet it possessed so little strength? Or was it that the Master before him possessed formidable methods?

“Mhm, Old Grandpa, I’ve already taken away that malevolent ghost. You don’t have to worry about it coming back to cause trouble.”

Yaoyao revealed a set of small white teeth, giving him an affirmative answer.

Upon seeing this, the old principal’s wrinkled face immediately bloomed into a smile.

“Thank you, Master! You are truly the savior of our entire school!” Because the great affliction in his heart had been removed, his legs were no longer weak. He repeatedly thanked her, his demeanor so earnest he looked like he wanted to enshrine her.

This enthusiastic fervor made even Yaoyao feel a little embarrassed.

She paused, then slowly said, “Old Grandpa, you don’t need to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, just explain to the program crew later that our evidence is genuine, and that will be enough.”

The police file on this campus suicide case was not accurate. If Yaoyao stated her findings based on her deductions, she might very well be judged incorrectly.

If that happened, she would suffer a great loss. At this time, a party involved needed to come forward and testify.

And the old principal was a witness to the entire event; his testimony would carry sufficient persuasive power.

“You can rest assured about this. I, this old man, will definitely explain it clearly to the director.”

The old principal knew that the Master’s participation in this recording was like a competition, with a winner and loser to be determined in the end. Since she had helped him solve a major problem, proving this small matter was something he absolutely should do.

A gleam of joy flashed in Yaoyao’s large eyes. Seeing that it was about time, she led the group back to the auditorium where the program crew was located.

Because the recording had to end in the evening, it was no longer appropriate for the program crew to stay outdoors. Fortunately, the school’s auditorium was large enough.

Yaoyao had been slightly delayed by dealing with the Red Ghost, so when she arrived, she was the last of the guest group.

“You’re finally here. Then just report your search results directly. There’s no need to write them down like the other guests.”

There was a smile in the director’s eyes. He held Yaoyao in high regard, especially her performance in the earlier live broadcast segment, which had brought a massive amount of attention to the show.

Compared to the reports of other guests, he was, frankly, more expectant of Yaoyao’s.

However, noticing the old principal following beside her, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

“Old Principal, why have you come? We’re about to finish; we won’t delay the school’s gate closure,” the director smiled, thinking they had dragged on too long and inconvenienced him.

However, the latter shook his head and said, “Director, you misunderstand. I’ve come this time to vouch for the little Master.”

His reply left the director completely bewildered.

The old principal paid no heed to his mood and continued on his own, “I have concealed some things from the director and everyone previously. I, this old man, apologize to you all here first. Actually, the girl in that classroom did not commit suicide.”

“She died because she summoned an evil spirit while playing with a Pen Spirit and was bewitched into offering herself as a sacrifice.”

“The evil spirit has been lingering in the school and hasn’t left. I, this old man, invited all of you here with a selfish motive, hoping to see if any of you could eliminate it. Fortunately, this old man was lucky enough to encounter the Master. That malevolent ghost has already been subdued.”

“Therefore, regarding the evidence collected, Director, in my, this old man’s, opinion, there’s no need for the Master to say any more.”

The old principal’s gaze was exceptionally serious. In his view, the Master had even captured the malevolent ghost. If she still had to compete with these people, it would be too insulting. He felt it was completely unnecessary.

The director was dumbfounded upon hearing this, especially the words “malevolent ghost,” which made the hair on his body stand on end.

He just wanted to record a show. Although he was also very keen on metaphysics, this didn’t mean he was willing to see that thing!

The director’s gaze swept back and forth between the two. Even though the latter had spoken to this extent, he didn’t agree directly.

After all, the program had to have rules. If he made an exception this time, what about next time? How would the show be recorded in the future?

Netizens would then accuse the program crew of being unfair. If a variety show showed too much favoritism, it wouldn’t be a good thing for the Master either.

If it were in the past, if the director disagreed, he would have said so directly without so many reservations. But after learning that the Master could capture malevolent ghosts, some words had to be weighed carefully, so as not to leave a bad feeling in her heart.

Just as the director was struggling internally, two figures walked over.

The newcomers were none other than Chen Tao and Liu Heng, who had clashed with Yaoyao in the classroom. The former’s expression was still relatively amiable, but the latter’s attitude was much worse. His pair of sanpaku eyes darted over, his voice full of sarcasm.

“Little child, don’t boast too much. There are still experts here. How old are you to be able to capture a malevolent ghost alive?”

“It’s not impossible for you to bypass the rules and win the competition directly. But everything must be based on what is seen. If you take out the malevolent ghost you’ve captured, and we’ve seen it, then naturally, we’ll believe you.”

Liu Heng was a disciple of Mount Longhu. Although his skills weren’t profoundly learned, he still knew Taoist arts like the Yin-Yang eye technique.

He was arrogant, yes, but he at least knew this was a program recording. Targeting a child too much could easily lead to being flamed by the entire internet.

Therefore, he cleverly threw the problem back.

After all, it was this little child herself who said she had captured a malevolent ghost. Since she had captured it, it wouldn’t be difficult to let everyone see. However, if she hadn’t captured it and was trying to bluff her way through, then she would undoubtedly be exposed.

“Master, that’s indeed a solution. Do you think it’s convenient?”

The director’s eyes also lit up. If he bent the rules himself, people online would definitely talk. But if the fellow guests in the group all agreed, then the matter would be logical. It would grant a privilege without causing trouble.

“Yeah, yeah, if you really caught it, what’s the harm in letting us see?”

“I’ve never seen what a malevolent ghost looks like. Tsk tsk tsk, I’d like to broaden my horizons today.”

Many of the guests began to chime in, especially those who had no points from the live broadcast segment and had just randomly written down their classroom search results.

They knew they definitely wouldn’t be able to stay for the first round, so naturally, they didn’t mind stirring up trouble. By saying more, they could even grab some screen time. When the show became popular, they might even gain some fame themselves.

Thus, one after another, they started to heckle.

Gu Yu’s expression instantly turned ugly upon seeing this. It wasn’t because he felt guilty, but because these people clearly had ill intentions, daring to bully his own sister in front of him. His temper flared up.

Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard his sister’s voice.

“If older brothers and sisters want to see, of course, it’s no problem. But don’t you get scared, okay!”

Yaoyao looked over, then gave her Seventh Brother a look to calm down, as if to say, she would handle this. Gu Yu paused. Thinking of his sister’s methods, he suddenly smiled.

He then realized that his sister was no pushover. These people had just poked the tiger’s tail; they were in for it.

As for himself? He could just wait and watch the show. Thinking this way, his anger instantly vanished completely.

And Yaoyao agreeing so quickly also had its reasons.

Under her spiritual perception, she could detect that the magnetic fields of four people in the room were off, including the two older brothers in front of her.

It was important to know that the magnetic field of a cultivator was different from that of an ordinary person. This was also a method many cultivators used to distinguish enemies from allies.

This method also had a drawback: low-level cultivators couldn’t see through high-level ones. Otherwise, Liu Heng and the others wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.

Yaoyao’s cultivation far surpassed everyone else here, so there was no problem of not being able to see through them. She recognized at a glance that most of these guests were ordinary people, and in that case, they wouldn’t be able to see ghosts.

However, this wasn’t difficult for Yaoyao. She took out more than ten yellow talismans from her pocket.

Then, she said in a childlike voice, “Everyone who wants to see, come and get one, okay? Just stick it on your body.”

This kind of yellow talisman was a less stable method than opening the Yin-Yang eyes. It lasted for a very short time, so its practicality wasn’t very high.

The reason Yaoyao had prepared them was originally to leave some for her family, fearing they might genuinely encounter something unclean and not be completely helpless.

After all, keeping the Yin-Yang eyes open all the time wasn’t very practical for the Gu family, who were all ordinary people. This little preparation, however, came in handy now.

The numerous guests looked at each other, and for a moment, no one stepped forward.

They hadn’t expected her to agree so readily. Could she have really caught it? The few who had been heckling felt a strange thumping in their hearts, especially when they thought about actually seeing a ghost late at night; they couldn’t help but feel unnerved.

“Hey, what are you all standing around for? If you don’t take them, I’ll get them for you.”

The director, at this point, was no longer afraid. After all, the ghost had already been captured. If the Master could really let them see it, she definitely had the means to subdue it. This could be said to be a rare opportunity in life.

He paid no attention to their timidity, took the talismans from the Master’s hand, and distributed them one by one.

“Alright, Master, the items have all been distributed. You can release the malevolent ghost now and let us broaden our horizons,” the director said, slapping a yellow talisman onto himself, clearly prepared.

His action put the hecklers in a bit of a bind.

Under the glare of the big screen, they couldn’t very well back down. They could only brace themselves one by one and follow suit, sticking the talismans on their bodies.

Even the four who had abilities also put them on at this point. After all, they also wanted to test if these talismans were genuine.

“Then you all take a good look!” Seeing these people neatly comply, Yaoyao’s pink often cute lips suddenly curved up.

This smile wasn’t cute; instead, it was like the slyness after a scheme had succeeded. With a wave of her small hand, a red figure was released.

And with the appearance of the red figure, the temperature of the entire auditorium suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. After all, this was a genuine malevolent ghost.

If not for Yaoyao’s overwhelming strength, she wouldn’t have been taken down in a single encounter. But this didn’t mean she was weak.

Everyone felt the change in temperature and couldn’t help but shiver. They subconsciously looked in the direction of the red figure.

Following that, sharp, shrill screams suddenly erupted in the vast auditorium.

It wasn’t that the red figure suddenly launched an attack, but because she was severely injured and could no longer maintain her appearance.

She revealed the most primordial true form of a malevolent ghost!

It was a completely rotten human face, a bloody and distorted visage that directly made people’s brains feel engorged with blood.
