Xu Qing looked at the sky, it was already night.
Shaking off irrelevant thoughts, Xu Qing informed Xuan Yu and left the Funeral Shop, heading toward Shuimen Bridge.
With the arson case resolved, it was time for him to visit the female ghost kept at the villa.
...
Shuimen Bridge Villa.
Xu Qing stepped on the courtyard wall, walking as if on flat ground.
This was a technique he had acquired when he exorcised Fang Qianyan and Bai Richuang, two thieves, from the villa, called the Gecko Wall-Crawling Technique.
Familiar with the surroundings, he avoided the traps and mechanisms by the wall. Before he even entered the villa deeply, he heard the sound of a loom operating from the western wing.
The creak of the loom's shuttle was particularly harsh in the deep of night.
Xu Qing frowned and silently approached the wing room.
Inside the half-open door, a woman in a thin gauze dress was sitting at the loom, working with her back to the door, her small waist slim enough to grasp.
