Chapter 28 Return

I was worried about Pan Sichen's reappearance for the next few days.

Fortunately, there have been some peace these days.

After playing in Dalu Island for a few more days, we planned to go back.

It's been four or five days since I came out, and I don't know how my grandfather is doing at home.

What made me feel strange was that Bai Yike had no movement.

She had to follow me if I had anything to do before. This time, she not only didn't follow me, but she had never even called the phone and sent me a message, which made me feel a little surprised.

On the return train, everyone was still so active, chatting and laughing all the way, as if we had endless things to say for several lifetimes.

This is the first time I have been away for so long, and I am still a little homesick.

When I opened the door and entered the room, my first words were "I'm back."

The first one to rush out was Bai Yike.

She looked me up and down like an animal, making me feel uncomfortable.

"It's going well anyway. Let me see if I'm not hurt." Bai Yike said while looking.

I said helplessly: "Oh, I'm going out to play, not going to the front line to fight, so how could I get hurt?"

"That's good, hehe."

"You are at home by yourself, where is grandpa?"

"Grandpa is out, go and wash, it's time to start meals." After Bai Yike said that, he jumped and waved the shovel to the kitchen.

It's better to go home.

I put my luggage and washed it briefly.

The phone rings suddenly.

It's Zhao Wuji again.

"Hey, calling me at this time won't be treating me to dinner, right?" I joked.

Zhao Wuji sounded very happy and said, "If there is something good, come to Tianshi Mansion."

I looked at Bai Yike's back in the kitchen and said, "If you have any good things, just say it on the phone."

Zhao Wuji said, "Come here quickly, your grandfather is here too."

I hung up the phone and quietly walked to the kitchen.

"That... I have something to do... I want to go out." I said embarrassedly.

After all, Bai Yike cooked and prepared supper to welcome me home, but now he suddenly had something to go out. I felt a little sorry for Bai Yike.

Bai Yike was still cooking very seriously and said without saying: "Go and go, I'll wait for you to come back to have a meal."

After leaving home, I called a taxi and headed straight to Tianshi Mansion.

Just like last time, Zhao Wuji still picked me up at the door.

"Hey? Your wife didn't come with her this time." Zhao Wuji quipped.

Zhao Wuji, who is so scheming, even jokes with me, which shows that he is in a really good mood.

I said, "Why do you ask me to come here for such an awkward supper time?"

Zhao Wuji smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing."

"What good thing must I come here. I'm still hungry just after I got home." I said.

"Do you remember before going to Hongxi Village, I told you that our country has set up an organization to investigate supernatural cases?" Zhao Wuji said excitedly.

I thought about it and said, "Remember, it seems to be called the Spirit Detective Bureau, right?"

Zhao Wuji said: "Yes, the Spirit Investigation Bureau is going to recruit people now."

"What does this kind of institution still require recruitment?" I said.

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "It's not what you think. Although the Spirit Investigation Bureau is an institution established by the state to specifically solve supernatural cases, the country has never cultivated talents in this area. If you want to strengthen your strength, you must recruit talents from the public. You understand that."

"I still don't understand."

"Why are you so stupid? We will be colleagues in a few days."

"You mean we both will enter the Spiritual Investigation Bureau?"

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "You finally understand, is it good news?"

The news came a little too suddenly. I was not prepared yet.

Zhao Wuji continued: "This opportunity is hard-won."

I didn't quite understand and said, "It's normal for you to go, why did you let me go too. The Spirit Investigation Bureau is not your Tianshi Mansion. Will someone harm you when you go there?"

Zhao Wuji said: "This is what your grandfather meant, and I don't know why. But it's good to have someone who takes care of each other in the future."

It turns out that Zhao Wuji is in a good mood because of this.

I said, "Where are we going?"

Zhao Wuji led the way and said, "Ma Xiaowan, the director of the Northeast Branch, is in Tianshi Mansion. According to the director's wishes, I want to meet us first."

"oh."

When they arrived at the Lord's Hall of the Heavenly Master, grandfather and Zhao Tianshi were talking to a young woman.

"Is this director a woman? She is still so young." I asked Zhao Wuji in a low voice.

Zhao Wuji said, "Don't look at her young age, she is an authentic descendant of the Ma family, with high qualifications."

As he spoke, Ma Xiaowan noticed us.

Ma Xiaowan said, "These two are Li Qiong and Zhao Wuji."

We both went forward and gave a greeting.

Ma Xiaowan continued, "I am Ma Xiaowan, director of the Northeast Branch of the Spirit Investigation Bureau." As he said that, he stretched out his hand.

Why do I feel so familiar with this trick?

We shook hands politely.

At this time, Zhao Tianshi said, "What do Director Ma thinks?"

"Oh, don't say that, just call me Xiaowan." Ma Xiaowan continued: "I'm very satisfied with both of you."

Zhao Tianshi nodded and said, "That's good. Since the business is done, why not stay at the mansion and have some food."

I had no intention of eating at the dinner table. To be honest, I was surprised and seemed a little overwhelmed by the opportunity to enter the Spiritual Investigation Bureau.

The unknown ahead is the root of fear. I only heard Zhao Wuji say about the Spiritual Investigation Bureau once, and I still don’t know what kind of institution it is. But since this is what grandpa meant, it should be for my own good.

After we bid farewell to Ma Xiaowan after dinner, my grandfather and I also bid farewell to Zhao Wuji and my disciple.

I didn't say anything on the way back. Grandpa might have seen what I was thinking and said: "The Spiritual Investigation Bureau is a new department that the country is focusing on training. Now it's time to use people. It's no harm to let you exercise."

I said, "I get it."

Grandpa said silently again: "It's safer to stay there than to be with me."

When I got back at home, I remembered that Bai Yike seemed to be waiting for me to have dinner.

But it's so late that silly girl won't be waiting.

As soon as the door was opened, it was true.

No one had touched the food on the table before, Bai Yike was sitting at the table fiddling with chopsticks and saw that we were back, and he became energetic.

"We're all back, have you eaten?" Bai Yike asked.

Grandpa looked at the table of dishes with a little unnatural expression and said, "Uh, we've eaten it."

Bai Yike instantly wilted like an eggplant made from frost.

I couldn't bear to see her disappointed look, and I said, "I'm not full yet, give me some food."

Bai Yike's eyes flashed, and he ran to the kitchen with a nod.

Grandpa patted my shoulder and entered the room with a smile.
