Monday.

On a bright sunny morning, the early-rising Tang Jing moved a chair to sit in the villa's courtyard to enjoy the tender warmth of the sun's gentle kisses and caresses.

Just as she was about to drift off into a daydream, a crisp, childish voice rang out, "Ye Fei, Ye Fei!"

Tang Jing opened her eyes and looked towards the gate, only to see a young middle school girl with a pure and cute appearance, causing her to wonder, "Could this pretty little sister be Ye Fei's girlfriend?"

So, she got up and walked toward the gate. But as soon as the girl saw her, her complexion instantly darkened, followed by a suspicious and hostile glare at Tang Jing.

"Who are you?" the girl asked with a glum face, "How come you're here?"

"I've been staying here these past few days!"

"What! You've been living here?" The girl's face swelled with anger, "What's your relationship with Ye Fei?"

Tang Jing blinked, her face full of confusion, wondering if she had misspoken. After a pause, she explained, "Friends, we're just friends."

"It took you so long to answer!" The girl said displeased, "Tell Ye Fei I don't want anything to do with him anymore!"

"Ah!" Tang Jing gaped. As she saw the girl turning to leave, she quickly said, "Little beauty, could there be some misunderstanding? Ye Fei and I are really just friends."

At that moment, the urgent cries of Ye Fei came from behind—"Yan Ru, Yan Ru, don't go!"

"Annoying pest, I don't want to deal with you anymore!" The girl Ye Fei called Yan Ru turned back and shouted at Ye Fei, then quickened her pace to leave. She was Ye Fei's girlfriend, Yan Ru, known to everyone at Guanwen Middle School as the campus belle, whom he had confessed to and begun dating the day before yesterday.

In a state of urgency, Ye Fei could no longer care about anything else. He used his Qinggong to leap over the villa's iron gate, reached Yan Ru's side, and then grabbed her hand, saying hurriedly, "Yan Ru, why did you suddenly come to look for me, without giving me any notice?"

"Give you notice!" Yan Ru grew angrier, "So if I had given you notice, you'd have time to hide her? Annoying pest, I really misjudged you!"

"Ah!" Ye Fei was taken aback and said in a flurry, "Yan Ru, you've misunderstood. Didn't I say I wanted to introduce you to a new friend yesterday? She's the one."

"Hmph, she just said she's been living here for a few days, just the two of you."

Before Yan Ru could finish, she was interrupted by a voice coming from Xie Xiaofeng—"Ye Fei, is that your girlfriend looking for you?"

Yan Ru looked toward the villa and saw Xie Xiaofeng standing at the entrance, looking at her and Ye Fei. At once, the anger on her face dissipated by half, and she wasn't panting in anger anymore.

Ye Fei let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, "You see, it's not just the two of us, and it's certainly not like what you were thinking."

"It's all your fault for not telling me sooner."

Ye Fei helplessly shrugged his shoulders, then took Yan Ru's hand and they went into the villa.

In the living room.

After getting to know each other, Yan Ru turned to Tang Jing with an awkward expression and said, "Sister Tang Jing, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you just now."

Tang Jing shook her head, took Yan Ru's hand and said with a light laugh, "Yan Ru, it's okay. I should have explained clearly right away and prevented your misunderstanding."

At this moment, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao came down the stairs into the living room.

Upon seeing Yan Ru, Chen Hao froze, the dream of Ye Fei's wedding once again flashing through his mind—and the bride in his dream looked exactly like Yan Ru standing before him.

Ye Yuqiao, standing behind Chen Hao, was also stunned, feeling a slight sense of loss and sadness, wondering if in the future, when that wedding was held, she would no longer exist, which is why she wasn't in the dream.

"Oh Yan Ru, this is Chen Hao, and the girl standing behind him is his girlfriend Ye Yuqiao," Ye Fei introduced them as he approached Yan Ru, then turned to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao and continued, "Chen Hao, Yuqiao, this is my girlfriend, Yan Ru!"

"Hello, Yan Ru!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

Ye Yuqiao took a step forward to stand next to Chen Hao and gave Yan Ru a polite, slight smile.

Looking at Ye Yuqiao, Yan Ru couldn't help exclaiming, "Sister, you're so beautiful."

Ye Yuqiao blushed and gave an embarrassed smile, not sure what to say, then gently pinched Chen Hao beside her.

Chen Hao immediately stood at attention, and then squinted his eyes and laughed, "Ye Fei, your girlfriend is really pretty. I'm feeling like you don't quite match up to her."

"Like you're one to talk, as if you're a match for Yuqiao," Tang Jing muttered scornfully.

Although today was Monday, since it was the last day of Guanwen Middle School's sports meet, Ye Fei and Yan Ru didn't have to attend class. Around noon, they all went out for a big meal. After the meal, Ye Fei and Yan Ru took Chen Hao and the others on a tour of City H.

Because of the conspicuous red characters "Exorcism Special Vehicle" sprayed on the van, wherever they went, they became the focal point for passersby.

In the afternoon, a few people arrived at a coffee shop, where Yan Ru couldn't help but ask Xie Xiaofeng and the others about their professions.

Upon hearing Chen Hao mention that he was an Onmyoji, Yan Ru found it hard to believe and further questioned if ghosts really existed in this world.

When Chen Hao enabled Yan Ru to use Yin Yang Eyes, she almost burst into tears upon seeing several tables in the otherwise empty coffee shop occupied by ghosts with gloomy complexions. She fell into Ye Fei's arms in fright, her face one of horror, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Bastard, why the hell did you scare Xiaoru like that!" Tang Jing shouted at Chen Hao in anger.

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao also scolded softly.

Chen Hao merely chuckled, muttering, "Isn't it just what she was curious about and wanted to know? I simply allowed her to see the truth."

At that moment, Ye Fei received a message from his partner: Yun Zhongtian had attended the routine shareholders' meeting at the Yun Corporation as usual this morning and was currently working in his office, likely to remain there into the evening.

After reading the text, Ye Fei showed it to Chen Hao. After reading it, Chen Hao nodded at Ye Fei, all understood without anything being said.

Subsequently, although still somewhat fearful, Yan Ru couldn't resist her curiosity and asked the group to share some of their ghost-hunting experiences. After some thought, Chen Hao told her about the "King Xin Face Patching" incident from over two months ago, in which Ye Fei was involved, and then related several other past experiences until night fell.

As the sunset, the group first escorted Yan Ru home and afterward returned to their residence to change into their Campus Hero black attire.

Tonight, besides Chen Hao and Ye Fei, Ye Yuqiao was also joining the action. After waiting for a few minutes in the living room, Ye Yuqiao finally emerged, dressed as the Campus Heroine. Her tight-fitting costume showcased her beautiful figure, making Chen Hao, Ye Fei, and Xie Xiaofeng's eyes sparkle.

"Let's move out!" Ye Yuqiao said, looking very capable with her ponytail tied up.

"Hmm!"

Out of the door, Ye Fei immediately leaped into the night, with Chen Hao holding onto Ye Yu tight on his heels.

Twenty-some minutes later, the trio once again arrived on the rooftop of the Zhongtian Building. As before, they easily reached the entrance to Yun Zhongtian's office, but this time there were several bodyguards in front of the door.

When the bodyguards caught sight of the three, they were startled and before they could react, Ye Fei knocked them down with three punches and two kicks in a single second.

Then, Ye Fei pushed open the office door and the three rushed in.

Seeing Campus Hero appear, Yun Zhongtian was surprised, saying, "I really didn't expect you to still be alive! And you've even brought a new helper."

"Where's that man?" Chen Hao asked, glancing around.

"I'm right here!" a deep voice said from nowhere, and then that figure gradually materialized in the air in front of the window.

"Ah!" Ye Yu's heart violently trembled. The man in front of her was the one who had opened the Gate of the Nether King with a mysterious ghost infant eighteen years ago. She could never forget the smell of Yang Energy about him.

"Boyfriend, it's him!" Ye Yu urgently told Chen Hao in her mind, "We must catch him and find out about what happened back then."

"Hmm!" Chen Hao nodded, feeling a surge of hot blood and fighting spirit within him. However, compared to Ye Yu's deep-seated hatred for the mysterious man in front of her, he did not dislike him much; in fact, he felt somewhat grateful. If it wasn't for this man, there might not have been the person he was today, nor would he have met the wonderful Ye Yu.

"I'm very interested in your left eye!" the man said, his back still turned, "I thought for sure the two of you would die that night, but somehow, a miraculous power in your left eye saved you both!"

"I'm very interested in you too!" said Chen Hao, as he activated Nether Vision in his left eye. Two seconds later, his gaze penetrated the back of the man's head, revealing his appearance.

It was a middle-aged man with a suntanned complexion, his eyes deep and seemingly holding many secrets.

So you look like this, huh!" Chen Hao laughed.

"What!" The man panicked, almost turning his head back, "Your left eye can see through things?"

Chen Hao laughed heartily and taunted, "What do you think?"

"In that case, I certainly can't let you leave here alive."

"I've been wondering why you're so keen on keeping your face hidden; it must mean that a lot of people know you."

The man snorted angrily and cocked his head to the side, saying, "Rather than worrying about that, you should think about any last wishes you have in this life."

"Time Barrier!" the man suddenly launched an attack.

Ye Yu's eyes sparkled with a sharp light as she sensed a subtle but powerful change occurring all around her. This change was rapidly approaching her, Chen Hao, and Ye Fei with the speed of a thunderbolt.

With a whoosh, Chen Hao transformed into a gust of wind, closing in on the man with meteoric speed.

But!

Before he could get close, he was suddenly held in place by an invisible force in midair. Immediately, he felt as if he had lost all sensation, and everything around him came to a standstill.
