That was the problem. The demonized Spiritualist had lost his Seed of Spirituality, and she was their suspect.

However, there was no video to investigate.

There was an unknown force stopping them.

“Something strange happened.”

Cao Yikai told them more about the woman. “According to the description, I think it is her.”

Yi Shuodai was shocked. “Clairvoyant? She has prophetic powers?! She’s that impressive?”

Among all the Spiritualists, clairvoyant powers were the most sought after because although they had existed in ancient history, there was no trace of it in real life.

Hua Yanming corrected her. “It’s not a prophecy, just psychic powers. A prophecy is a prediction of what will happen to others. She had only foreseen part of it in advance.”

Yi Shuodai waved her hand dismissively. “It’s basically the same thing, and besides, it’s still super cool. Then, don’t we have to catch her? This power is so terrifying, there’s no way the Spiritual Group will simply let her go.”

After He Yao listened to them, she muttered, “Prophecy, the demonized Seed of Spirituality disappears, suicide…”

She took out a pen and scribbled on the white paper, then frowned and said, “Combining what you all just said, it seems even more terrifying. If she really has the power to predict the future, if we try to catch her, she’ll know beforehand. And she now lives in the Mu family’s home. Besides, there is no video, no evidence, so how will we prove it’s her?”

He Yao threw down the pen, and the meeting room fell silent.

Indeed, they couldn’t just arrest people at will, so even if they knew that Qiao Jin was suspicious, there had to be substantive evidence.

He Yao quickly made a decision. “Don’t let other groups know about her for the time being. The more people who know, the more troublesome it will be. I will find a time to meet with her. What you all have to do now is just keep an eye on the monster and try to find out more information about Qiao Jin.”

Everyone nodded in unison. “Okay, group leader.”

Qiao Jin was eating grapes at home while Qiao Fei tried on her new clothes and showed them off in front of her.

“Xiao Jin, do you think mom looks good in these clothes?”

Qiao Jin said, “Feifei looks good in everything. You’re like a fairy.”

Although she knew that Qiao Jin was flattering her, Qiao Fei couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. “You’re so sweet!”

Indeed, the daughter who she had been raising for 20 years was closer to her than her sons.

Qiao Fei said, “Mom is going to vacation in Japan for a week with Uncle Zhenming next month. Would you like to come with us?”

Qiao Jin stuffed a washed grape into her mouth, and the juicy flavor was satisfying. “I can’t go. There will be a lot of things for me to do next month.”

Qiao Fei looked at her with surprise. “What things? Mom can help you get a leave of absence from school.”

Qiao Jin smiled. “Of course there will be a lot of things for me to do. I have to see a lot of people.”

Qiao Fei was puzzled. “Your friends? Are they all scheduled to visit next month?”

Qiao Jin said, “I think so.”

Qiao Fei had her doubts, but she didn’t probe any further.

Qiao Jin made a suggestion. “You can take Qichu and Qilian with you.”

That would keep those two from getting in her way.

Qiao Fei didn’t agree. “I’m traveling with Zhenming, so why would I bring them to ruin the romantic getaway?”

Qiao Jin disagreed. “Ah, Feifei, if you don’t mind taking me, why do you mind the two of them? You can’t be sexist towards males.”

Qiao Fei said, “…I will ask them at a future time, but whether or not they go is none of my business.”

Those two brothers had apathetic temperaments, so they certainly would not be willing to join their parents.

Qiao Jin said, “Sure.”
