"Master, according to my observation, that wasn't a ghost. She's breathing, has a heartbeat, and casts a long shadow under the streetlight. I'm just saying she *looked* like a ghost," Tutu's voice sounded in Zhang Bin's mind.

Could she be a Superpower User with the ability to turn invisible? Zhang Bin wondered.

"That should be the case. Either that, or she has an invisibility Talisman," Tutu analyzed. "That woman is very suspicious; she seems to be fleeing from someone trying to kill her. She probably sensed her enemy's presence and suddenly turned invisible. That's why the cameras can no longer track her."

What if Hanbing Yun was resurrected and crawled out of her grave? Is there any chance of that happening? Zhang Bin thought.

"Insufficient data. It's difficult to analyze," Tutu said. "However, logically, if Hanbing Yun really did come back to life and climb out of her grave, she would be carrying the painting you drew for her, because it's very important. But this woman wasn't carrying anything. Therefore, it's more likely a coincidence. She might just look a lot like Hanbing Yun and happen to be wearing the same kind of pants."

I also think it's impossible. When have the dead ever come back to life? Zhang Bin mused. I personally saw Hanbing Yun's heart get pierced and all her blood drain out. Not a single drop was left. Furthermore, her body became icy cold and was filled with the aura of death. Unless she took a Resurrection Pill, there's no way she could've been revived. Besides, I buried her in the grave myself.

"Yes, the probability of it being Hanbing Yun is low enough to be negligible," Tutu agreed.

"You Big Bad Egg! Seeing that distracted look on your face, I knew you couldn't forget that beautiful woman," Zhu Danyan said, still angry. "I think you should just go down and find her. With your Miraculous Abilities, you should be able to, and then you'll be in luck tonight."

"I swear, I'm not smitten with her," Zhang Bin said with an aggrieved expression. "I genuinely feel that woman is very suspicious. First, there are no signs of a fight on her. Second, she wasn't carrying any bags. Third, there's yellow mud on her pants. Yet she lied and said she was mugged. I'm telling you, she's powerful—not much weaker than me."

"Is that so?" Zhu Danyan glared fiercely at Zhang Bin. "You're not a cop, so what does it matter to you if she's suspicious? Or did you just want to go over and get a better look at her? It's because she's so beautiful... Ahem, I have to admit, that woman is very beautiful, maybe even more than me. You have good taste."

"I may not be a police officer, but I am a mighty Cultivator. It is my solemn duty to protect the Earth, protect humanity, and protect our China," Zhang Bin said proudly. "When I see a villain, I must bring them to justice. Otherwise, haven't I done all this Cultivation for nothing? Would I be of no use to humanity and of no contribution to the country?"

Zhu Danyan finally burst out laughing. "You're just spouting nonsense and cracking jokes. I won't let you weasel your way out of this."

"I'm really not that kind of person. If I were, wouldn't I have already taken advantage of Su Man?" Zhang Bin said with a wicked smile.

"That's right, you Big Bad Egg! My cousin treats you so well and loves you so deeply. How could you possibly restrain yourself?" Zhu Danyan, having been led astray by his logic, asked in disbelief.

"Because she and I are just ordinary friends. I, Zhang Bin, am a great man who remains a gentleman even with a beauty in his lap," Zhang Bin declared loftily.

"Giggle..." Zhu Danyan's laughter tinkled like a silver bell. "You can only fool a three-year-old with that line. That time in the cave, you showed your true colors, using all sorts of tricks to break through my defenses and have your way with me. You're definitely using the same tactics now to try and make Su Man offer herself to you, aren't you? I'm telling you, my cousin isn't like me. Her emotions are much more reserved. She would never throw herself into a man's arms."

They chatted idly like this all the way back to the villa.

As for Ma Rufei and the others, they simply spent the night at Zhang Haijun's house. The Zhang family villa was large and had plenty of rooms, so there was no concern about a lack of space.

The moment they returned to the villa, Zhang Bin and Zhu Danyan, like a pair of starved animals, began to entwine themselves passionately.

It was a night of wild storms, a night where spring arrived.

Once Zhu Danyan had finally fallen into a joyous slumber, Zhang Bin dressed himself and passed through the wall like a ghostly spirit, departing into the night.

He called Ma Rufei and had him come out.

Ma Rufei, a natural night owl, showed no signs of fatigue at all. The moment he saw Zhang Bin, he said excitedly, "Senior Brother, are we going to find that beautiful woman?"

Clearly, he was still preoccupied with her and couldn't get to sleep.

"Indeed. We're going to find her," Zhang Bin confirmed.

"Hahaha! Are we going to 'pick flowers'? Is this a tradition of our Taiqing Sect? To 'pick' every beauty we see?" So excited he nearly fainted, Ma Rufei hastily asked, "But are you sure you can still find her?"

"We'll see," Zhang Bin said with a wicked smile.

"Then let's go quickly!" Ma Rufei cackled, all trace of sleepiness gone.

The two of them immediately left the villa complex and began walking swiftly down the streets.

It was just past three in the morning, the darkest hour of the night.

"Senior Brother, it'll take ages to walk there. Let's just fly," Ma Rufei urged, impatient to find the woman. "Otherwise, it'll be dawn soon. How are we supposed to 'pick flowers' then?"

"Stop talking nonsense and follow my lead."

With that, Zhang Bin led Ma Rufei into a narrow alley.

Eventually, they stopped outside a grocery store. "I'm going in for a look," Zhang Bin said. "You wait out here."

"Senior Brother, you're not planning to hog all the fun and leave me here as a lookout, are you?" Ma Rufei asked with a dejected look on his face.

He thinks the beautiful woman is in this little shop, and Zhang Bin is going inside to 'pick the flower' without him!

"Enough nonsense."

Zhang Bin shot Ma Rufei a sharp glare and used his Wall-Piercing Ability to enter the store through the wall.

Sigh... Why did I have to be the junior brother and he the senior? I guess I can only stand watch. I'm stuck out here in the cold while Senior Brother gets to 'pick flowers' and have the time of his life, Ma Rufei lamented to himself.

However, to his surprise, Zhang Bin emerged almost immediately. He used his Telekinesis Ability to lift Ma Rufei into the air. In the blink of an eye, they soared high into the sky and sped toward the outskirts of Yanjing City.

Hahaha! I get it! Senior Brother must have gone into that store to grab some knockout drops! Ma Rufei laughed inwardly. The woman is outside Yanjing City, and he must have left some kind of secret mark on her to track her. He brought me along, so he'll probably share the fun. This is going to be amazing! And I totally misunderstood him earlier.
