Xiao Yunjing hugged her tightly, fearing she would disappear again. Without her by his side, everything seemed dull and tasteless.
He said, "Don't worry, Li'er, I've already sent someone to invite a powerful Daoist Master skilled in exorcising ghosts. Perhaps he can expel the Original Host from this body, but before that, I'll find a way to let her meet Gu Xicheng and Ms. Su."
"Mhm, but be careful," Gu Qingli said. "The Original Host hates you deeply; she believes all her misfortunes are your fault."
"I know," Xiao Yunjing replied. "That's why I've kept her locked up in Fengqi Palace and haven't shown my face. I'm worried she'll spread malicious gossip if she gets out. If she leaves, and you're left to clean up her mess, how could I allow that?"
