Chapter 1926: She’s a Reasonable Person

Little Taotie’s sneaky glance was caught, meeting Lu Yuan’s eyes. During the gaze, Little Taotie saw the barren land above Lu Yuan’s head start to change, with tender green sprouts appearing...

Little Taotie laughed joyfully.

"What’s going on?" Lu Yuan asked.

Little Taotie’s cheeks were flushed, and his childish voice brimmed with excitement: "Uncle Bai Lu, Uncle Tie must still be alive. Let’s go find him together!"

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and said softly, "You shouldn’t go."

Little Taotie immediately wouldn’t have it, angrily puffing: "Uncle Bai Lu, you’re burning bridges! If it wasn’t for me calling Ghost Enforcer Uncle, you wouldn’t even know that Uncle Tie is still alive! And now you want to ditch us and go off on your own!"

"I’m just worried about your safety."

Little Taotie was provoked, his little fists waving in the air, as if he might lose control and start hitting at any moment.

Ghost Enforcer Uncle watched the scene with amusement.

Humph! Bullying Zaizai and then trying to burn bridges? Aren’t you going to ask whether the head of the Ghost Enforcers agrees or not!

Now this Ghost Enforcer Uncle wasn’t just an ordinary staff member from the Underworld; he was a little leader now, considered a left-hand man of a Judge, overseeing more than a dozen Ghost Enforcers. He’s at the supervisor level, like a head of ghost catchers.

This is also why Little Taotie asked him to find out whether Uncle Tie was taken to the Underworld, and he could quickly tell Little Taotie that such a person wasn’t taken, because he could quickly contact subordinates to inquire if anyone has been taken away recently.

Ghost Enforcer Master played with a notebook in his hand; it looked like an ordinary black notebook, but it could transform three ways, one of which was turning into an iron cage.

As long as Little Taotie’s fist swung over, if the other party dared to escape or fight back, he would cage the person so Little Taotie could hit to his heart’s content, hitting happily.

Little Taotie naturally didn’t know that Ghost Enforcer Uncle was ready to help at any time.

However, beside him, Hua Jinyan gave Ghost Enforcer Uncle a deep look.

Lu Yuan raised his eyes, showing no fear, but rather some amusement: "You have quite a temper for someone so young. It’s indeed my fault for not believing you earlier. Letting you hit me a couple of times to vent is only fair. Come on, I’m ready for the punches."

Little Taotie: "..."

Actually, if he resisted a bit, Little Taotie’s fists might really have landed.

But now the other party not only wasn’t resisting but was acting all generous about being hit. Little Taotie couldn’t bring himself to do it.

In fact, the little girl had calmed down by now, and her little fists were already lowered.

Her little face was conflicted, her little brows almost twisted into a little pretzel, her childish voice stubborn: "It’s hard for anyone to believe what I say unless they see it with their own eyes. It’s understandable you didn’t believe me initially, but burning bridges isn’t reasonable now. I’m reasonable, I don’t like to fight; let’s reason it out."

The Ghost Enforcer Uncle beside her almost burst out laughing.

A person with sky-high fighting capability earnestly claiming to be someone who reasons and doesn’t like to fight—how is it so amusing?

His laughter made Hua Jinyan displeased, and Hua Jinyan shot him a sideways glance.

Ghost Enforcer Uncle, somewhat intimidated, lowered his head and covered his mouth, not daring to laugh.

Little Taotie rolled up his sleeves and said earnestly, "Alright, let’s start reasoning."

This time, it was Lu Yuan’s turn to laugh: "The way you roll up your sleeves looks like you’re ready to brawl, not like someone who’s about to reason."

Little Taotie silently put his sleeves down, his child’s voice soft: "I was just a bit hot, letting my wrists breathe."

Lu Yuan stopped laughing and spoke gently, "Alright, tell me your reasoning."
