The sole warmth in the dark secret chamber was the flickering candlelight.
The candlelight swayed, casting You Su's shadow unsteadily.
You Su remained silent, seemingly struggling to make a decision.
Qiao Xiuyun didn't understand the underlying complexities; in her view, she simply wanted to bring her sister's body back home, to be buried in the black sandstone their ancestors were inseparable from.
The poor girl was unaware that she couldn't take the evil corpse away and might face a disaster because of it.
Ji Lingruo glanced at the woman in a purple dress half-hidden in the shadows, Zi Yiyi without a veil, her defined features outlined by the candlelight adding to the gravity.
She abruptly raised her eyes, meeting Ji Lingruo's gaze, straightened her back slightly, and said coldly:
"I will not choose to overlook this; I will definitely take this body back to the Exorcism Bureau for investigation. If the situation is true, it will be handled according to the law."
