Before the arrival of the Ghost Festival, Xia Ling and his team were not idle. Most of their time was spent investigating the scene and paying attention to the surrounding movements.

During this period, he also organized the information that Su Lan had said into a letter and sent it to Yu Qianyang.

Yu Qianyang’s idea was the same as Yue Chenzhi’s, to investigate first and then make further decisions if there was anything unusual.

For now, let them wait and see what happens, and the sect will also send some people to investigate whether the Dark Moon Palace and the previously exiled ghost cultivators were wronged, and whether there are still ghost cultivators left.

After receiving the reply, the few of them stopped worrying too much and waited quietly for the Ghost Festival to arrive.

In addition, Yue Chenzhi and the third prince Yan Su, who was responsible for investigating the Guimie incident, emphasized in detail the information obtained from those minions and evil spirits.

After some discussion, the final plan was to wait for the snake to come out of the hole and then capture it in one fell swoop.

To be on the safe side, Yan Su secretly placed some secret sentries and monks in two temples and the mansion of a wealthy businessman.

In addition to observing the movements of those in secret, it is also to avoid any disturbance on the Ghost Festival that might cause harm to innocent people.

Three days passed neither fast nor slow. During this period, Xia Ling spent nearly 30 points to buy a series of life-saving magic tools and various elixirs from the system mall, all of which he gave to several of his senior brothers.

Although they didn't lack these, giving them would at least make her feel more at ease.

The few of them did not investigate where these came from, as they already knew that their junior sister was hiding a secret.

But if she doesn't say it, they won't force it.

Night turns to dawn, and finally the day of the Ghost Festival arrives.

The yin energy during the Ghost Festival, when ghosts are prevalent, is several times heavier than usual. Compared to the world of cultivation, the yin energy in the human world is even heavier.

After all, the spiritual energy in the human world is not as abundant as that in the world of cultivation.

Although the people of the capital were in a panic because of the mysterious incident, the festival was still several times more lively than usual.

Pray and hold sacrifices during the day and light and fireworks at night.

The fog at the beginning of this morning lingered for a long time, and the lanterns hung early in each household swayed in the wind on the streets.

The road is busy with cars and people.

The capital city, which was still quiet yesterday, suddenly became lively.

There are many shops, and the streets and alleys are filled with shouts. There are all kinds of goods on display, and the atmosphere is full of fireworks.

Lin Xingfan looked around, picked up a tiger mask from a street stall and held it against his face.

His voice was filled with the youth's vitality and unconcealed excitement, "Junior Sister, what do you think of this mask? Does it look good?"

He dressed up specially today, wearing a bright turmeric brocade robe, and his hair was tied up with a jade crown and fixed into a long ponytail.

The youthfulness in him is almost overflowing.

Xia Ling couldn't bear to lie at this moment, so he told the truth: "It looks good."

"Hehe~ヾ(??`。ヾ)" Lin Xingfan was very happy. He took out a gold ingot from his sleeve pocket and put it on the stall. "Boss, I'll buy this mask!"

When the vendor saw that it was a big customer, his eyes lit up and he began to flatter him: "Young master, you look so elegant in it, just like the legendary white tiger in the world! You and the young man and young lady behind you must be very good friends, right? Do you want to pick one for them as well?"

"Okay!" Lin Xingfan nodded obediently and swept his eyes over the masks on the stall.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a rabbit mask and handed it to Xia Ling.

"Is it for me?" Xia Ling took it.

Lin Xingfan shook his head. "No, this rabbit belongs to Senior Brother. It feels very suitable for him. I'm too far away from him. Junior Sister, can you pass it to him for me?"

"..." Yue Chenzhi was rarely emotional, "Why am I... a rabbit?"

Lin Xingfan waved his hand: "Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you have a personality like a rabbit. It's just that besides the clan uniform, don't you usually like to wear light-colored clothes like moonlight white? This mask just happens to match your clothes today, so I chose it."

Lin Xingfan said, picking up another fox mask and forcibly handed it to Si Mufeng, "Here, Second Senior Brother, this mask suits you very well, both are quite showy, put it on quickly."

Si Mufeng was forced to take the red fox in front of him, and glanced at his red clothes again, smiling slightly: "It's been too long since I practiced new poisons, and my hands are almost rusty. How about Xing Fan come and try the medicine on me after I go back today?"

“…Haha…Haha, what did you say, Second Senior Brother? There are too many people and it’s too noisy, I can’t hear you!” Lin Xingfan pretended not to hear, but at the same time he did not forget his Third Senior Brother Qi Huai and Fourth Senior Brother Jiang Ci.

He picked up the Black Impermanence's smiling face mask and the purple python mask and handed them to them respectively.

Seeing them standing there motionless, Lin Xingfan urged them, "Hurry up and take it! I still have to choose for my junior sister."

In the end, the two of them reluctantly took it and put it on.

Lin Xingfan nodded with satisfaction. He hesitated for a while when choosing a mask for Xia Ling. Finally, he chose a mask with a phoenix pattern and green patterns engraved on it.

Lin Xingfan held it in both hands and brought it to Xia Ling, smiling brightly: "Little Junior Sister, do you like it?"

"...Yeah." The street was filled with people, Xia Ling took it with a crooked look, and a pure smile was revealed in her slightly curved eyebrows: "I like it very much."

The early morning light scattered on several people, and the cool morning breeze blew their hair into ruffles.

Lin Xingfan looked at her smiling face and was stunned for a moment before saying, "...As long as you like it."

"I heard that the temple fair will be held at the Si hour! We can't miss it, let's get ready quickly." The voice of a passerby interrupted the few people's short leisurely moment.

Xia Ling glanced at the pedestrians on the street. Perhaps because it was a festival, most of them were wearing ghost or animal masks.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for them.

After all, if they can use it to hide in the crowd, then so can their enemies.

Xia Ling raised his hand and put on the mask, then looked at his fellow brothers, "Let's go and take a look too."

"Let's go." Si Mufeng put on the mask and waved the folding fan in his hand. His long hair hung down on his shoulders. Even without looking at his face, one could tell that he was a handsome man.

The vendor who was about to give out change was a little confused when he saw them leaving in such a daze.

He scratched his head and raised his hand to keep him: "Hey, young master, wait a moment, I haven't given you the change yet!"

Lin Xingfan tilted his body and turned his head, "No need! I like these masks very much, your craftsmanship is very good, bye!"

The stall owners nearby cast envious glances at the vendor, who realized belatedly.

I met a very wealthy and kind person!

The vendor jumped up and down excitedly. When he came to his senses and was about to thank them, he found that they had already gone far away.

He made trumpet shapes with his hands and shouted, "Thank you, sir. You and your friends will be safe and happy!"

Unfortunately, several people were unable to hear his heartfelt blessing.
