The day the little fox dealt with the last evil spirit, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox returned defeated. Neither of them had expected that it would only be the second time, and the fragments of the Fuxi Qin would become so difficult to find.
It was the first time that the Fuxi Qin fragments were found too easily, everything was too easy, which made this time troublesome, causing Ye Tiancheng a headache.
The first time, Ye Tiancheng still felt that the Fuxi Qin fragment took a lot of time to collect, and he felt it was a bit troublesome. However, the final result was that it was nothing compared to the current situation.
At that time, how could it be called troublesome? It was as easy as it could possibly be.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In this way, the two fell into a stalemate again.
But fortunately, this time they still had gains. At least the trouble encountered by Ou Xiaoxue was half-solved.
The reason it was said to be half-solved was that it only cleared the evil spirits in Ou Xiaoxue's villa, which could only be considered a temporary solution.
After all, if the person hiding in the dark and plotting against Ou Xiaoxue was not found, even if Ou Xiaoxue's current crisis was resolved, after Ye Tiancheng and the little fox left, Ou Xiaoxue would still be in danger.
After all, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could not guard Ou Xiaoxue's side forever. If the person hiding in the dark felt they were inferior and completely concealed themselves, and then made a move after Ye Tiancheng and the little fox left, it would be entirely possible.
As long as the goal could be achieved, and as long as the other party was persistent enough, it was nothing for that person to endure temporarily.
It's just that I don't know what kind of deep hatred could make someone do such a vicious thing, and exert such perseverance for it. It's not a light obsession to think about it.
Just as Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were in a dilemma, the little fox thought for a moment and then said to Ye Tiancheng, "Brother Ye, I think that since this matter has reached a bottleneck, if we must find a breakthrough, we can only try to test Ou Xiaoxue."
"Perhaps we can try to use some methods that are not easily discovered by her to elicit information from Ou Xiaoxue. She is not a particularly smart person, so it is not that difficult to achieve this. Perhaps it is worth a try."
"Moreover, maybe the clue to the Fuxi Qin fragment can only be discovered through Ou Xiaoxue?"
Ye Tiancheng listened to what the little fox said and thought about it. He had to admit that, just as the little fox said, if there was any breakthrough in this matter, it might only be Ou Xiaoxue.
The little fox could not see Ye Tiancheng's thoughts and did not know what Ye Tiancheng planned to do. However, in the little fox's own opinion, this was already the most feasible direction. Therefore, even though Ye Tiancheng had not yet expressed his stance, he continued to analyze the situation with Ye Tiancheng.
"Brother Ye, thinking back to Ou Xiaoxue's situation at that time, she was able to survive for two days in a villa with such evil spirits. Although various factors contributed to her survival, who can say for sure that the Fuxi Qin fragment did not contribute to these factors?"
"I think I can do this. I have some ideas, and I have not been interrogated by Ou Xiaoxue or risked exposing the truth to her. When facing me, because I am younger, it is not easy to arouse Ou Xiaoxue's vigilance. I should be very suitable for this task."
Ye Tiancheng already had such a leaning in his heart. Moreover, at this time, the little fox had said so much, and their progress was indeed stuck. He himself seemed to have no other way, and it seemed that this was the only way.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng finally replied to the little fox, "Since this is the case, then I will trouble you, little fox."
"I actually think that this direction is the most feasible at the moment, and I can't think of a better plan. Since you already have an idea, let you try it first."
The little fox naturally agreed, "Brother Ye, don't worry, I have some confidence. Even if I can't get any results, I won't leak anything to Ou Xiaoxue."
Ye Tiancheng nodded, with no other expression. Ye Tiancheng had no objection to not leaking information to Ou Xiaoxue.
This was not entirely a matter of trust or distrust. First of all, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox's understanding of Ou Xiaoxue had always been limited. Even now, they could not definitively say that either of them completely understood Ou Xiaoxue.
If Ou Xiaoxue knew about the existence of the Fuxi Qin fragment, then she had been hiding something from Ye Tiancheng and the little fox all along, and her purpose was unclear. It was impossible to figure out whether she was simply protecting herself or had other intentions.
Then, even if Ou Xiaoxue did not know about the existence of the Fuxi Qin fragment, who could say that if she accidentally learned about it, would she become greedy and do something?
Ye Tiancheng was not a naive person. He had his own judgment. He would never naively assume that Ou Xiaoxue was a completely good girl. Such a possibility would be irresponsible to him and everyone around him.
Moreover, even if these not-so-good assumptions were completely overturned, one had to be careful about certain other possibilities.
For example, one needed to worry that Ou Xiaoxue, because she was too naive and not smart enough, might expose herself to the outside world after leaving here due to the commotion caused by Ye Tiancheng and his group. Then, people might discover Ou Xiaoxue's involvement and try to interrogate her, which could lead to Ye Tiancheng and the little fox being inadvertently betrayed by Ou Xiaoxue.
Although Ye Tiancheng did not know Ou Xiaoxue very well, Ou Xiaoxue was indeed not someone who could keep secrets well. Even if Ye Tiancheng had warned her to keep it a secret beforehand, Ou Xiaoxue might not be able to keep her mouth shut.
What's more, there were definitely people outside who were watching Ye Tiancheng and his group, and some of them had impure or even malicious intentions. As long as they could get his information, they would resort to any means.
In that case, Ou Xiaoxue would become very dangerous. It would be better to let Ou Xiaoxue remain in her current state of ignorance.
Although the little fox was young, he thought a lot and was more mature than his appearance. Therefore, he could obviously think of these things, which was why he said that to Ye Tiancheng. Moreover, if this involved this aspect, the little fox was not afraid that Ye Tiancheng would think he was too calculating, and therefore, the little fox dared to take the initiative to mention these things to Ye Tiancheng.
Seeing that there was no way to find clues at Ou Xiaoxue's villa, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox did not linger there and chose to return as soon as possible. After all, since there were no clues, they did not need to waste any more time.
Ye Tiancheng was in a hurry. He was very anxious about his daughter Ye Qingcheng's situation and was also worried about Hou Mingzhu and the others. He also had many things on his mind. At this time, even Ye Tiancheng hoped that everything could be resolved as soon as possible.
When Ye Tiancheng and the little fox returned, Ou Xiaoxue was still playing games on her phone in the tent where she lived. Because she was trapped in the illusion of the Nuwa Stone, she could not go back to class, so she was bored every day.
Although Ou Xiaoxue was a good student, even in the current situation, she had not given up on her studies. She still contacted teachers and classmates privately and was catching up on her studies by self-study. However, it was inevitable that there would be times of slack and relaxation.
Learning inevitably had pressure. Being trapped, Ou Xiaoxue had fewer ways to release her stress, so she couldn't help but go play games.
After all, she was often left alone here, with no one to accompany her. It was also for her safety that they did not take her with them. She was not so unreasonable as to make a fuss about wanting someone to accompany her. She would not make a scene about this.
However, due to boredom, Ou Xiaoxue had also paid attention to how long Ye Tiancheng and the little fox left each day, and when they would return at the earliest or latest.
In Ou Xiaoxue's impression, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox would usually not return at this time. It was for this reason that Ou Xiaoxue was playing games.
When Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were present, Ou Xiaoxue usually did not play by herself.
They were all busy for Ou Xiaoxue. If Ou Xiaoxue stayed aside leisurely, although Ye Tiancheng and the little fox would not have any opinions, Ou Xiaoxue herself would feel guilty and embarrassed.
As a result, today, Ou Xiaoxue was playing games in the tent when she suddenly heard the sound of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox returning. She quickly turned off her phone, ended the game, walked out of the tent, and found that she had not misheard. It was indeed Ye Tiancheng and the little fox who had both returned.
Ou Xiaoxue walked up to them in surprise and greeted Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, "Brother Ye, Brother Ye Li, why did you two return so early today?"
"Is it... is it that the matter at my house has been resolved! Is my house safe?"
Ye Tiancheng smiled and replied to Ou Xiaoxue, "It's about half-resolved. It's not that the matter at your villa hasn't been resolved. Most of it is fine, but the person hiding behind the scenes and harming you, aren't we still looking for them?"
"And there's another problem. On the surface, the evil spirits that can be found have been dealt with by me and the little fox. However, we cannot be completely sure that there are no stragglers. If the inspection is not careful enough and there is an oversight, you should know the result."
"But there is no way to check for more situations at the moment, so the little fox and I have returned. However, in the future, the little fox and I will still need your help. Do you understand? We may need you to recall and narrate your previous experiences in the villa, and we may need to take you back to test the situation again. Do you have any problems with this?"
Ou Xiaoxue listened to Ye Tiancheng's words, and indeed did not suspect anything. Instead, she immediately nodded and agreed, "Of course, I have no problem. Brother Ye, what do you want to ask me?"
