Aunt Tao's question and expression showed that she knew that I was absent from school this morning, causing my expression to freeze on her face.

Under the Aunt Tao's attentive gaze, I felt lucky that I didn't say anything. I smiled awkwardly and told Aunt Tao that I had actually been involved in finding Kang Jiamin this morning.

Even if Kang Jiamin and I are roommates, we can still be considered friends. I don't seem to have any reason to sit idly by and do nothing when something happens to Kang Jiamin.

I didn't mention it because I'd been working all morning without success, and I was ashamed to mention it.

Aunt Zhao laughed out loud. Aunt Tao glanced at her lightly and she immediately got up from her seat while holding back her laughter and went into the kitchen.

After Aunt Zhao left her seat, she nodded towards me. She asked me, since I didn't have any results, why didn't I think about saving her or Aunt Zhao before?

Under the Aunt Tao's light laughter, I had no place to hide my little thoughts.

I didn't understand how Aunt Tao found out that I wasn't at school this morning. I honestly said that the reason why I didn't ask for help from her and Aunt Zhao was because I didn't want to be identified by her and Aunt Zhao as a person who was even more nosy than before.

I know, Kang Jiamin is not Self-bunning Lady or a disciple of the Pure Lady Sect, he is just an unrelated outsider to us.

Aunt Tao stretched her forehead, saying that she could still understand Kang Jiamin's words. To us, Kang Jiamin was indeed an outsider that was unrelated to us.

Aunt Tao's stern expression told me that she was not opposed to my meddling in other people's business.

As long as I kept my nose out of her way, she wouldn't say anything.

When I have things that I can't solve, the first thing I should think of is to ask for help from her and the Aunt Zhao.

She didn't want to see me lie in front of her again because of anything. Honesty was an important quality.

Aunt Tao's words made me ashamed, it made me feel that my acting in front of him was really clumsy.

I nodded my head heavily, and promised Aunt Tao that I wouldn't make another mistake like today.

The Aunt Tao first called the Aunt Zhao in the kitchen out to eat dinner, then she urged me to eat dinner quickly. After I was full, she promised me that she would teach me how to easily solve the problem.

I was anxious, but I knew that the Aunt Tao would not budge on her words, so I could only eat in silence.

After I ate my fill, I immediately put down my chopsticks and anxiously looked at Aunt Tao.

Aunt Zhao reminded me that I haven't had time to eat since I left home yesterday afternoon. Aunt Tao waved her hand and said that I was fine, then she got up from her seat and invited me to the living room.

I immediately pulled Aunt Tao away, telling her to finish her meal before talking about anything else. Aunt Tao said that she could eat late, as saving people requires an early breakfast.

When Aunt Tao insisted on bringing me to the living room, she began to teach me Pure Lady Sect's tracking technique. I carefully listened to Aunt Tao's narration, and my heart was filled with gratitude towards Aunt Tao.

I don't have the ability to bear any burden for the Aunt Tao, and I still have to implicate the Aunt Tao in my meal.

After I quickly familiarized myself with the incantation and hand techniques, Aunt Tao returned to the house and brought me a white candle.

The Aunt Tao told me that the main ingredient of the white candle was corpse oil. Once the white candle was lit, no matter how strong the wind was, it would be difficult to extinguish the candle.

I only need to chant an incantation the moment the candle is lit, and at the same time, chant a hand sign at the same time. When I chant the last word of the incantation, Kang Jiamin's name would appear, and I would be able to find the exact location of Kang Jiamin with the help of the candle flame.

After receiving the white candle from Aunt Tao, I couldn't help but recall the second time I was summoned by the Aunt Tao, when she lit the white candle.

I don't know if the white candle that Aunt Zhang lit at that time was the same as the white candle in my hand, but I remember that when Aunt Zhang lit the white candle to track the soul reaper, she had never chanted an incantation or performed any hand seals.

I didn't have time to ask Aunt Tao any further. I quickly used Kang Jiamin's date of birth and date of birth to calculate the date of her birth, then lit a white candle and started to chant an incantation.

When I finished chanting the three words, Kang Jiamin's birthday, the flame of the white candle suddenly shifted to the east.

Aunt Tao asked Aunt Zhao to accompany me outside. Aunt Zhao quickly returned to her room and took out another opaque, lotus-shaped kerosene lamp with a base.

The Aunt Zhao placed the white candle into the base of the lampshade and handed it to me.

I carried a lantern shade on my back and left the house immediately. The Aunt Tao warned us to be careful.

On the way to the roadside fighting with Aunt Zhao, the lampshade in my hand attracted quite a bit of attention. I knew that those people focused their attention on the lampshade and treated it as a special trinket.

As I walked, I quickly asked the Aunt Zhao who had thought of using the lampshade to cover up the white candle. The answer she gave me was Yu Kexin.

After Aunt Zhao and I got on the taxi, we followed the direction of the white candle flame and started to look for Kang Jiamin.

The direction in which the white candle flame pointed towards kept changing, showing that Kang Jiamin's position was constantly changing. Although it made it harder for Aunt Zhao and I to find Kang Jiamin, it also made my heart feel a little more relaxed.

If the white candle flame was only pointing in one direction, then that would be the most terrifying thing.

I sat on the taxi, directing the way my master was traveling, and occasionally called Kang Jiamin, her uncle, her aunt, and the owner of the coffin shop.

Kang Jiamin's phone call with her uncle and aunt continued to be turned off. The owner of the coffin store had already called, but he still had not picked up the phone.

I sent a message to ask the owner of the coffin shop where Kang Jiamin was, but he didn't reply.

Aunt Zhao leaned back in her chair and simply accompanied me out of the room. She didn't seem to have anything to do with finding Kang Jiamin.

I don't have any complaints about Aunt Zhao's reaction. It was already an unexpected surprise to me that Aunt Tao could teach me the art of tracking.

The taxi drove Aunt Zhao and I around the streets of TY City. Kang Jiamin's mother called me and asked if I had found Kang Jiamin yet, then told me that she and Grandfather Kang Jiamin would be arriving at TY City very soon.

After Aunt Zhao and I rode on the taxi for half an hour, the white candle flame finally pointed in only one direction.

I urged the taxi driver to speed up. As the taxi passed the entrance of a restaurant, the direction indicated by the white candle flame shifted again.

I immediately called for the taxi to stop and hurried over to the hotel with the lampshade.

I kept a close eye on the white flame in the lampshade, walked to the door of the hotel, then turned back and walked away from it, then paced back and forth outside the door, finally confirming that the white flame was referring to a car parked in front of the hotel.

The glass of the car had a dark mold on it, and through the glass I could see that no one was in the front row.

I couldn't see Kang Jiamin in the car, nor could I hear any movement from inside.

I immediately called Kang Jiamin's mother to report the car's license plate. Kang Jiamin's mother told me that the car belonged to Uncle Kang Jiamin.

Kang Jiamin's mother asked about my location and warned me not to act rashly. She told me that she and Grandfather Kang Jiamin would arrive shortly.

After I hung up, the Aunt Zhao still sat on the taxi without getting off.

I returned to the taxi and sat inside with Aunt Zhao, waiting for Kang Jiamin's mother and grandfather to arrive.

Aunt Zhao, who had been silent the whole way, glanced at the car and asked me why didn't I save my classmates.

I blew out the candle and paid attention to the situation at the entrance of the restaurant while saying that I had done all that I needed to do. Since Kang Jiamin's mother repeatedly reminded me not to act rashly, then I should respect her decision.

Aunt Zhao asked me if I felt wronged. I smiled and shook my head, saying that I didn't feel wronged at all.

While I was talking with Aunt Zhao, I saw Uncle Kang Jiamin and her Aunt walk out from the entrance of the restaurant.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows as I got off the taxi, blocking Uncle Kang Jiamin's way.

When Uncle and Aunt Kang Jiamin saw me, their expressions turned ugly.

I warmly greeted them and said that the meal was pretty good. I unexpectedly bumped into them when I was coming over to eat.

While I was talking, the taxi arrived at the shopping mall beside the restaurant that was carrying customers. Aunt Zhao stayed inside the taxi.

As soon as my words left my mouth, Uncle Kang Jiamin's expression relaxed slightly. After saying something coincidentally, he prepared to continue getting closer to the car.

I kept talking to them, trying to stall them as they got closer to the car.

Kang Jiamin's uncle and aunt were obviously impatient with my chatty words, as they frequently glanced towards the car.

Not long after, there were more people parked in front of the restaurant. Kang Jiamin's mother, who had a face full of worry, and an angry old man with white hair hastily got off the taxi.

When Kang Jiamin's uncle and aunt saw Kang Jiamin's mother and the old man, their expressions immediately changed.

Aunt Kang Jiamin hugged me tightly, while Uncle Kang Jiamin took the opportunity to rush into the car.

For a moment, I couldn't shake off Aunt Kang Jiamin. Kang Jiamin's mother and the old man quickly rushed over to help me, and Uncle Kang Jiamin started the car and quickly drove towards my position.
