"Looking for a ghost?" Nangong Xi put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Zigui.

"That's right, we're looking for a ghost." Zhou Zigui nodded.

"What the hell?" Nangong Xi took a piece of cake and started eating.

"Miss Nangong, why don't you eat first and then we can talk?" Zhou Zigui looked at her with a conflicted look on his face.

Miss Nangong was too upset. She spat out the porridge just now. He was worried that Nangong Xi would directly spat out the pastries later.

"It's okay, go ahead." Nangong Xi shook her head.

It’s not like I haven’t seen ghosts before. When I was in the underworld, I ate with ghosts every day.

"Then... I'll tell you." Zhou Zigui looked at Nangong Xi.

"Go ahead." Nangong Xi nodded.

"My eldest brother's mother, her name is Cao Ying." Zhou Zigui said.

"Your eldest brother's mother? Aren't you born to the same mother?" Nangong Xi was a little surprised when he heard that.

"No." Zhou Zigui shook his head.

"Why are you looking for your eldest brother's mother?" Nangong Xi looked puzzled.

Logically speaking, it should be Zhou Zichan who should be looking for it.

"Miss Nangong, it's like this..." Zhou Zigui knew that if he wanted Nangong Xi to help, he couldn't hide anything.

"So that's it. Where did Cao Ying die?" Nangong Xi felt that perhaps Cao Ying's soul was still lingering around the place where she died.

"It's in her yard." Zhou Zigui said and looked at Nangong Xi.

"Okay, then let's go to her yard after dinner." Nangong Xi nodded.

"Miss Nangong, I don't want my eldest brother to know that I'm looking for Cao Ying, so we can only find an excuse to go to her yard." Zhou Zigui said.

"Just come up with any excuse you want." Nangong Xi nodded.

"There was a large area of ​​rare medicinal herbs planted in Cao Ying's yard. After she died, my brother took good care of that area. And you happen to be a pharmacist, so why don't you say you went to visit that area of ​​medicinal herbs?" Zhou Zigui looked at Nangong Xi.

"Okay." Nangong Xi nodded.

After breakfast, Nangong Xi said goodbye to Bai Yao and the others, then took An Ming and followed Zhou Zigui away.

Zhou Zigui took Nangong Xi out of the reception building and walked towards Cao Ying's yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, they ran into Zhou Zichan head-on.

"Zigui, Miss Nangong? What are you doing here?" Zhou Zichan asked.

"Brother, Miss Nangong heard that there is a piece of rare medicinal herbs here and wants to come and see it." Zhou Zigui said with a smile.

"Want to see the medicinal herbs? Miss Nangong, please come this way." Upon hearing this, Zhou Zichan took Nangong Xi and walked towards the medicinal herbs field.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Nangong Xi thanked.

As soon as she entered the yard, she began to observe her surroundings, but did not see any souls floating around.

"This is the medicinal herb field. They were carefully cultivated by my mother when she was alive." Zhou Zichan looked at the medicinal herbs, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

"These are rare and precious medicinal herbs that are hard to come by. Could it be that your mother is also an alchemist?" Nangong Xi looked at the herbs in surprise.

"Yes, she is an excellent alchemist." Zhou Zichan nodded.

Just as Nangong Xi was looking at a South China Sea cloud mushroom, he discovered that there were different fluctuations on it.

So she opened the Supreme Eye and looked towards it, and found that there was a trace of soul attached to this South China Sea Cloud Mushroom.

So Nangong Xi grabbed her directly.

The soul held in Nangong Xi's hand struggled in fear in her hands.

Nangong Xi discovered that this soul was incomplete!

At this moment, Nangong Xi discovered a strange breath in the dark, so she took out a talisman and put the residual soul into the talisman.

If his guess was correct, this remnant soul was Zhou Zichan's mother.

"Miss Nangong, what are you doing?" Zhou Zichan asked in confusion when he saw Nangong Xi's strange movements.

After all, only Nangong Xi can see Cao Ying's remaining soul, while Zhou Zichen and Zhou Zigui cannot see it.

"Something threatened the South China Sea Cloud Mushroom. As an alchemist, I couldn't bear to see such a good medicinal ingredient being destroyed, so I helped it." Nangong Xi said.

"My mother once said this. In the eyes of alchemists, any medicinal material is precious and they cannot bear to see even the slightest waste." Zhou Zichan smiled when he heard this.

"That's right. In the eyes of us alchemists, wasting medicinal materials is a sin." Nangong Xi nodded in agreement.

Nangong Xi observed the medicinal field for a while and then said goodbye and returned to his residence.

In Zhou Zichan's eyes, Nangong Xi looked at the medicinal herbs very carefully.

In fact, Nangong Xi was looking for the other remaining souls of Cao Ying.

After searching for a while, they found nothing except a trace of residual soul on the South China Sea cloud mushroom.

"Do you think they are really here to appreciate the medicinal herbs?" After Nangong Xi and the others left, the man in black walked out from the darkness again.

"Why are you always elusive?" Zhou Zichan rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

"I promised your mother that I would protect you." The man in black said.

"I don't need it." Zhou Zichan refused without hesitation.

"They came here suddenly, they must have ulterior motives." The man in black said coldly.

"Nangong Xi is an alchemist. It's understandable that she is interested in rare medicinal materials." Zhou Zichan obviously didn't believe what the man in black said.

After all, he had looked at it very carefully before, and Nangong Xi observed every medicinal herb very carefully.

If she had ulterior motives, how could she have appreciated the medicinal herbs so seriously instead of being absent-minded?

Besides, Nangong Xi left immediately after admiring the medicinal field and did not stay in this yard for long.

"Believe it or not, Zhou Zigui is not as simple as you think." The man in black said this and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"I actually hope he can be more careful, or even hope he wants to kill me, so that I won't feel so guilty when I take action next time." Zhou Zichan muttered.

Zhou Zigui followed Nangong Xi back to the reception building.

"Miss Nangong, how is it? Have you found anything?" Zhou Zigui couldn't wait to ask as soon as he returned to Nangong Xi's yard.

"Only a trace of remnant soul was found." Nangong Xi said as he released the remnant soul of Cao Ying.

She used a spell to make Zhou Zigui see her too.

"Is it her?" Nangong Xi looked at Zhou Zigui.

"I haven't seen her in person, but I've seen her portrait and it's definitely her." Zhou Zigui nodded.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xi looked at Cao Ying's residual soul. After all, it was just a residual soul, and she was just floating around aimlessly.

"But why does she look so dull?" Zhou Zigui looked at Cao Ying's remaining soul with a confused expression.

Seeing her like this, there was no way she could answer her own question.

"Her soul is not complete. Maybe after her death, she couldn't let go of her son, so she forcibly split off a part of her soul to protect him." Nangong Xi said as he looked at Cao Ying's residual soul.

Mother's love is always great!

"How can she answer my question like this?" Zhou Zigui looked anxious.
