Chapter 1271: Visiting the Grim Reaper (2)
"Since it was you who failed to grasp this soul that was supposed to be sent to the underworld long ago, then it's your responsibility to catch it back. This is what Madam Song told me to tell you," Wu Jin relayed everything to the man in front of him. Even though he was scared out of his wits because the man in front was actually the Grim Reaper!
Initially, he did not want to come to this place but Song Yan told him that if he did not deal with this matter then she wouldn't be able to help him as the people at the department would question her and her accountability to help with the case.
Vincent covered his eyes with the heels of his palms. He sighed exaggeratedly before saying, "I knew that woman would never let me rest, how is it my fault that the spirit escaped? It has something to do with the prior ones, not me!"
He dropped his hands and then looked at the man in front of him who was shivering from head to foot, seeing him so terrified Vincent said, "There is no need to be this scared, your time is nowhere close to running out. So, even if I want to do anything I won't."
"T...Thank you?" Wu Jin said.
Vincent on the other hand pushed himself off the chair and then sneered with annoyance creeping on his face, "Let's go since this matter needs the assistance of the special department, I will give you a hand."
When Wu Jin heard his words, his face lit up with a smile as he bowed his head and said to Vincent, "Thank you for helping us."
"There is no need to thank me," Vincent said to him with a smile on his face, however, there was something in his smile that made Wu Jin shiver. Sure enough, he heard Vincent say a second later, "If I agree to help you then I am sure that Song Yan would be the one dealing with the mess, if that is the case then how can I not help you?"
Wu Jin: "..." Are you sure that you two are subordinates? Why does it look like you two are at each other's throats?
While Vincent was dealing with something annoying, Song Yan was also dealing with a messy situation. She had thought that Old Master Lin would try to look for another celestial master to rescue his great-grandson as he hated her and her husband.
But who would have that she would receive a call from Fu Yu Sheng's maternal grandfather who told her that he was going to leave Nan Rin in her care?
Song Yan: "..."
"I don't think that Miss Lin would like it," Song Yan said to Old Master Lin, as he was her elder she couldn't be rude to him and at the same time she was worried that the little one would end up getting in trouble if she was to refuse, thus she tried to be as subtle as possible.
Old Master Lin was also running out of options, it wasn't that he did not try to look for other celestial masters but he realized that no one was as skilled as Song Yan. He still remembered what happened three days ago at his private manor.
Three days ago at the manor located on the outskirts hidden from the capital.
"This ...I am afraid that I cannot deal with this thing," Celestial Master Mu shook his head with a disappointed expression on his face. "This is a bracelet that carries a curse that is far older than you and I can decipher Old Master Lin," he stated as he looked at the dazed- looking Nan Rin. "This curse is not something that you would see nowadays because it is not only intricate it has been fed the spirits of those who lost their lives to this bracelet for centuries."
When he saw that Old Master Lin did not understand what he was trying to say, Celestial Master Mu sighed and then explained in simpler terms, "Let's say that your son-in-law had given poison to your grandson that has multiple poisons mixed within it. Unless someone who knows what they are doing deals with this bracelet they will only accelerate the death rate of your grandson."
"What? You mean to say there is no way out of this situation?" Old Master Lin questioned. Celestial Master Mu was one of the best celestial masters of the capital if he was saying that there was no way to break the bracelet that was slowly sucking away the life of his grandson, then Old Master Lin did not know what to do.
Celestial Master Mu looked at the desperate expression on the face of Old Master Lin and then stated, "Young Master Rin is not completely without hope." He then pointed at the mark on Nan Rin's wrist and then said, "The celestial master who drew this mark seemed talented and skilled, if possible, I think Old Master should look for this master."
"If they can slow down the rate at which the bracelet is sucking away the life force of your grandson then I guess they know what to do to break this bracelet," Celestial Master Mu suggested to Old Master Lin who pursed his lips.
He already knew that this mark was drawn by Song Yan who had told Nan Yin about Nan Rin's condition. However, Old Master Lin was too embarrassed to ask Song Yan for help which was why he had looked for other celestial masters but they all said the same thing!
As for Gu Chenyi.... He had been long offended by his granddaughter who rushed to confront Gu Chenyi about how his workers sold the Gin Gin Root to Song Yan to which he looked at his granddaughter and remarked with a hint of disgust,
'Song Yan is my disciple, she can take anything from the shop without paying much less after paying. Who do you think you are to talk down about my disciple?'
If that was not bad enough, Lin Xiaoyue was thrown out of the Gu sect!
