Chapter 544：The Lonely Top Student 7

But Jiao Tong was still a minor. The Jiao family had influence and even knew some Taoist methods. Even if he ran away, they would likely find him again.

And once they discovered that he had been suppressing their son’s soul inside his body—

He would definitely die.

So he had no choice but to pretend that the possession had succeeded, slowly gaining their trust.

When the Jiao family’s son heard his threat, he wasn’t afraid at all. “If you’ve got the guts, do it! I’d rather die together with them!”

Jiao Tong clenched his fists.

If the Jiao parents knew that the son they tried so hard to resurrect had become like this… would they regret it?

Probably not.

Like father, like son.

How could parents with twisted hearts raise anything decent?

They’d only regret it when the knife in their son’s hand turned on them.

After a while, Jiao Tong took a deep breath, released his grip on his neck, and collapsed onto the sofa.

Soon, his body began to tremble violently.

Another round of struggle between the two souls began.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that everything calmed down.

But his entire body was drenched in sweat.

Tang Wan, watching through Little Cutie’s feed, frowned deeply.

Then suddenly—

Her eyes lit up.

“I’ve got it.”

“Little Cutie, quickly—find me everything related to Xuanmen Taoism.”

Little Cutie was confused. “Host, what are you planning?”

Still, it immediately pulled up a huge amount of Taoist material.

Tang Wan grinned. “I’m going to become a fortune-teller.”

“A… what?”

“That’s right. Since there’s an evil spirit inside Tong Tong, I’ll approach him as a celestial master. That way, everything makes perfect sense.”

Little Cutie froze for a moment, then quickly poured cold water on her idea. “But Host, you’re not a real celestial master. You don’t have any spiritual power. You might be able to fake simple tricks, but actually driving a spirit out of someone’s body? Impossible. And with your current… destructive ability… honestly, it’s already a miracle if you don’t accidentally kill the villain.”

Tang Wan shot it an annoyed look. “Then I just won’t touch him.”

She opened the materials and began scanning through them rapidly.

With her IQ now well above 200, even complex Taoist texts were easy to understand.

Before long, she found a case very similar to Jiao Tong’s situation.

According to the book, there were only two solutions:

Either forcibly expel the evil spirit with powerful techniques…

Or strengthen the host’s soul so it could suppress and destroy the invading spirit on its own.

The first method required strong spiritual power.

Something Tang Wan didn’t have.

The second method was even harder.

Because she currently had no way to enhance Jiao Tong’s soul strength.

Which meant—

Both options were basically blocked.

Tang Wan couldn’t help frowning tightly.
