Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Heavenly Master 96

The one who spoke was Grandpa Zhu Yanhua, who was wealthy and had a demeanor that suggested money was no issue as long as the matter was handled well.

”Master, seeing how lively this straw doll you’ve made is, my granddaughter will surely be alright, won’t she?” This was Grandma Zhu Yanhua, looking cautiously at Situ Shuangshuang.

”Master, do you really have a way to find my granddaughter? It’s not that I don’t believe in your abilities, but after all these years, we’ve exhausted so much manpower and resources and still couldn’t find her. We can’t bear any more disappointment!” This was Grandpa Zhu Yanhua, saying he wasn’t doubting her, yet his face clearly showed disbelief.

”Master, you must...”; ”Master, can you...”; ”Master, please...”; ”Master, I beg you...”

Master, Master, Master! Countless voices intertwined, buzzing continuously in Situ Shuangshuang’s ears, making the fire in her heart surge upward uncontrollably, to the point where she almost wanted to kill someone in her irritation!

Sweeping an icy gaze around at the surrounding people, watching their chaotic, endlessly opening and closing mouths, Situ Shuangshuang’s voice was extremely cold as she said, ”Are you all surrounding me intending to look for her yourselves? How about I clear a space for you then!”

Situ Shuangshuang’s cold face and sharp words indeed instilled fear in everyone, and they finally realized that their act of crowding her was quite inappropriate, quickly retreating and finally giving her enough space.

Zhu Yanhua hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, ”I’m sorry, Master, these are my parents, and my grandparents, everyone’s been thinking about my sister for years, hence the momentary rudeness. Please don’t mind it, Master.”

Situ Shuangshuang took a deep breath and didn’t speak, but her expression was still extremely unpleasant. The fire in her heart was unreasonably intense, urging her to act out and even terrifyingly so, she felt a moment ago an impulse to gouge out the eyes of those staring at her!

This was absolutely not normal! Be it from her master’s teachings or her own principles, Situ Shuangshuang was sure she could never have such violent thoughts!

When that surge of anger arose within her, Situ Shuangshuang had never been so clear-minded in recognizing the abnormality of her temper!

Situ Shuangshuang felt like this anger was a living, eerie entity growing inside her heart, seizing every moment to suppress her rational mind, provoking her to commit some cruel and violent acts!

But her mind was exceptionally rational now, so much that it seemed she had never been angry, yet the fiery anger within continuously assaulted her calm and logical brain, wanting to burn away all her sanity, forcing her to give in entirely to the nameless rage inside and act recklessly!

This isn’t normal! Situ Shuangshuang thought again, convinced that if only she were stronger and her cultivation further advanced, she could perform Inner Vision to discover what was wrong inside her, making her constantly irritable.

This might even be the thing that caused her impulsiveness in the past life, leading to her demise and implicating her master Chen Qi!

Maybe Situ Shuangshuang’s prolonged silence made the Zhu Family anxious, and seeing this group of people, the fire within surged once more, leaving Situ Shuangshuang no choice but to suppress it again.

But this time, the fire wouldn’t relent; everyone before her appeared so detestable, and her mind spun with violent thoughts!

The anger impacted her eyes until they reddened! Realizing that even using rationality and silently reciting the Calming Incantation couldn’t suppress the fire, she reluctantly chose to expend a large amount of mana, performing the Single Dragon Seal and using the Linzhi Technique to quell it!

The power of the Nine-character Mantra was truly formidable; the raging fire threatening to rob her of her senses immediately subsided upon encountering the mantra, calming her mood to unprecedented peace. However, achieving this tranquility cost her dearly, consuming more than half of her mana.

Though the fire was suppressed, her mood wasn’t good. She was only looking for a missing person, yet squandering such magical power she could ill afford for the Nine-character Mantra’s Linzhi Technique seemed wasteful!

If she were battling powerful ghosts or demons, she couldn’t deplete mana so extravagantly to quell her fire, for if she succumbed to it, the consequences, as proven by her tragic past, could be catastrophic!

Looking at the people around her, uneasy, watching her in discomforted silence, Situ Shuangshuang had no mood for comforting words; her temperament was in turmoil, constantly battling the nameless fire was an exhausting affair.

In her foul mood, she grabbed the map scroll on the table, casually flung it outward, and watched as it floated in midair. Then, the straw doll symbolizing Zhu Yanling leaped up onto the map, landing precisely on the city where she disappeared.

This time, although everyone was stunned by Situ Shuangshuang’s technique, seeing her unpleasant expression, no one dared speak; they all just watched her in anticipatory silence.

Situ Shuangshuang was in a bad mood but enjoyed such rare quiet; in this atmosphere, she calmed herself and continued the ritual, guiding the flow of mana within, drawing moisture from the air to gather rootless water!
