Prince Di Luomi, Hearing Ming Ying, and Ling Xue carried the little boy to the edge of the cliff and tried to send him to the hospital.

Prince Di Luomi and Ling Xue injected the little boy with an anesthetic, then carried him on their backs to the hospital while contacting the medical team to treat him.

The medical team arrived at the hospital and launched a rescue effort on the little boy. But strangely, no matter what they did, it was of no avail; they simply could not stop the little boy from dying.

Prince Di Luomi hurriedly picked up the communicator to contact Di Luoka, hoping Di Luoka could come to help. Di Luoka received the message and rushed over immediately. Di Luoka cast voodoo arts, but it was still of no avail; instead, it caused the evil poison within the little boy to spread, and he would die very soon.

"Di Luoka, save him quickly," Prince Di Luomi said urgently.

"Calm down," Di Luoka said in a deep voice. "Have you forgotten? Voodoo masters only bring death to themselves and others, so they cannot cast voodoo arts. Although I possess the bloodline of a voodoo master, I am merely half-skilled; I cannot cast voodoo arts to treat this patient."

"But..." Prince Di Luomi was extremely anxious: "If we cannot treat him, he will die very soon."

"I know. But there is nothing we can do," Di Luoka sighed. Although he was a Spirit Medium, he was ultimately a voodoo master. Voodoo masters are not allowed to participate in spirit mediumship, so he could do nothing.

"Let me take a look." At that moment, Seeing Xiao Yufan slowly walked over. Seeing Xiao Yufan looked at the youth lying on the bed, his brows slightly furrowed, as if lost in thought.

"Brother Xiao Yufan, this child..." Di Luoka asked hurriedly.

"Let me look first," Seeing Xiao Yufan said.

He grabbed the little boy's right hand and injected his spiritual power into the youth's body.

Seeing Xiao Yufan closed his eyes and observed carefully; gradually, a hint of surprise appeared on his face as he discovered a faint red thread entwined around the youth, along with special items on the youth's body, including the bone tablet, which was the Spirit Medium Token.

"Is this a curse?" Seeing Xiao Yufan muttered to himself in confusion.

He extended his other hand and pressed it against the youth's chest. Seeing Xiao Yufan activated his spiritual power, slowly penetrating into the youth's body, wanting to find out exactly how the curse on the youth had formed.

As Seeing Xiao Yufan's spiritual power spread, that red thread within the youth's body also appeared. The red thread twisted constantly, as if it had life, wanting to escape Seeing Xiao Yufan's control.

Seeing Xiao Yufan's spiritual power instantly bound that red thread. At the same time, his spiritual power spread forward along that red thread, wanting to figure out exactly what was going on with the curse on the youth.

Under the erosion of Seeing Xiao Yufan's spiritual power, that red thread began to collapse. It turned into starlight filling the sky and vanished.

Seeing Xiao Yufan opened his eyes, his expression somewhat solemn, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect curses to truly exist in this world. This curse is a special kind of curse called 'Bloodline Curse'."

"Once this curse takes effect, one must find a Spirit Medium, or death will occur. Moreover, this curse cannot be resolved forever unless the person who cast it is killed."

Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying watched the scene before them in shock; they never expected someone to understand the art of curses.

"So what should we do now?" Prince Di Luomi said with worry.

"We must find the person who cast this curse." "Is this curse targeting Spirit Mediums?" Di Luoka's face changed slightly upon hearing this. "If that is truly the case, then it is serious. Once a Spirit Medium is struck by this curse, even with the Spirit Medium Token, they cannot cure this curse through spirit mediumship. Moreover, this curse seems very powerful; even Seeing Xiao Yufan might not be able to dispel it."

"This curse is targeting Spirit Mediums," Seeing Xiao Yufan said in a deep voice. "Moreover, this curse seems to be targeting me. Otherwise, I could not have dispelled that curse so smoothly just now."

"You are a Spirit Medium, yet you can still be struck by a curse?" Di Luoka asked in surprise.

"My constitution is different from ordinary people, so I possess two different special abilities within my body. One is spirit mediumship, and the other is absorbing all curses," Seeing Xiao Yufan said.

"So what should we do now?" Prince Di Luomi said anxiously. "We can't just stand by and watch this child die like this, can we?"

"I can feel the curse power within this child becoming stronger and stronger," Seeing Xiao Yufan said with slightly furrowed brows. "No, I cannot let him die here. Otherwise, once the curse within him erupts, even if I can absorb all the curses within him, everyone here will die."

Seeing Xiao Yufan spoke while standing up, then wrapped the little boy's body with his spiritual power. Seeing Xiao Yufan pressed his right hand against the little boy's chest, letting his spiritual power flow from his palm into the little boy's body.

As Seeing Xiao Yufan's spiritual power continuously flowed into the little boy's body, the Spirit Medium Token on the little boy's chest emitted a faint light. Gradually, the curse within the little boy began to be attracted by Seeing Xiao Yufan's spiritual power. It gathered from all directions, slowly forming a black vortex.

That black vortex appeared very stable under the wrapping of Seeing Xiao Yufan's spiritual power. However, the aura emitted by that black vortex made people feel very oppressed.

"Not good, this curse is too powerful," Seeing Xiao Yufan discovered that his spiritual power and that black vortex were evenly matched. "The spiritual power of this curse is almost equal to mine; if we clash head-on, I am definitely not its opponent."

"Should we contact the Young Master?" Hearing Ming Ying appeared beside Seeing Xiao Yufan and asked in a deep voice.

"It's too late," Seeing Xiao Yufan said without turning his head. "We should directly chase down the source of that curse."

"Source?" Hearing Ming Ying asked in confusion. "If even a Spirit Medium cannot find the source of the curse, then how can we ordinary people find it?"

"There are no ordinary people in this world," Seeing Xiao Yufan said. "Just like me, you possess special abilities. Although my abilities are spirit mediumship and absorbing curses, while your abilities are coming and going without a trace and stealth, if we combine our two abilities, then we will be able to find the source of that curse."

"Good," Hearing Ming Ying agreed immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing Xiao Yufan wrapped the little boy's body with his spiritual power. Then, he took the little boy and Hearing Ming Ying and quickly left the place. They did not choose to drive a car, because that would waste a lot of time. Moreover, driving a car might not be able to catch up with the source of that curse. Therefore, they directly took a taxi to the source of that curse.

The three of them quickly arrived at an abandoned warehouse. It was very remote, with not a single person around. This gave Seeing Xiao Yufan great convenience. Because, if he cast spirit mediumship here, even if he flattened the entire warehouse, no one would discover it.

Seeing Xiao Yufan placed the little boy on the ground, then said to Hearing Ming Ying: "I have already felt the aura of that curse. It is inside this warehouse. You help me watch the outside and do not let anyone enter."

Hearing Ming Ying nodded immediately upon hearing this. Then, his entire body became illusory, turning into a wisp of green smoke floating toward the warehouse entrance. Seeing Xiao Yufan closed his eyes and let his spiritual power spread in all directions. Soon, he discovered the source of that curse. It was in a dark corner, where there was a dilapidated wooden house.

Seeing Xiao Yufan slowly stood up, his expression becoming very solemn. He discovered that the aura of that curse was becoming stronger and stronger. If he did not resolve it quickly, then that little boy would likely die.

Seeing Xiao Yufan injected his spiritual power into that wooden house. Soon, he discovered the source of that curse. It was a very eerie thing, constantly twisting, as if wanting to escape Seeing Xiao Yufan's control.

"There truly are curses in this world," Seeing Xiao Yufan said in shock. "This curse is very powerful; if I clash head-on, then I am definitely not its opponent. But I must completely eliminate it."

Seeing Xiao Yufan rushed toward that wooden house. That wooden house suddenly emitted a burst of intense light. Next, a black vortex flew out from the wooden house and rushed toward Seeing Xiao Yufan.

Seeing Xiao Yufan immediately wrapped that vortex with his spiritual power. His spiritual power instantly merged with that vortex. Next, Seeing Xiao Yufan began to convert his spiritual power into a powerful force to eliminate that curse.

That curse began to twist constantly, as if wanting to escape Seeing Xiao Yufan's control. But Seeing Xiao Yufan quickly discovered its weakness. He rapidly launched an attack on that curse.

That curse seemed to be in great pain, constantly emitting shrill cries. As Seeing Xiao Yufan's attack intensified, the aura of that curse became weaker and weaker.

Finally, that curse was completely eliminated. Seeing Xiao Yufan let out a long sigh of relief, then stood up. He felt as if he had already expended a huge amount of energy.

"This curse has been completely eliminated," Seeing Xiao Yufan said to Hearing Ming Ying. "Come in and take a look."

Hearing Ming Ying pushed the door open and walked in. He saw that the little boy had Su Xing (awakened), sitting on the ground and gasping for air. A smile of survival after a near-death experience appeared on his face. Hearing Ming Ying walked over and helped him up.

"Thank you," the little boy said to Seeing Xiao Yufan and Hearing Ming Ying. "Thank you for saving my life."

"You're welcome," Seeing Xiao Yufan said with a smile. "You must take good care of yourself in the future and do not go provoking those with special abilities again. Otherwise, you will likely encounter danger just like today."

The little boy nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Hearing Ming Ying and said: "Brother Hearing Ming Ying, let's go back."

"Good," Hearing Ming Ying agreed immediately upon hearing this. "Let's go back."

The three of them left the abandoned warehouse together and walked toward Prince Di Luomi's house. On the way back, the little boy remained silent. Seeing Xiao Yufan did not say much either, just sitting quietly in the back. And Hearing Ming Ying kept secretly watching Seeing Xiao Yufan.

After returning to Prince Di Luomi's house, Di Luoka immediately rushed forward and asked: "What happened to this child?"

"He is fine now," Seeing Xiao Yufan said. "Just let him rest."

"Thank you so much," Prince Di Luomi said gratefully. "If you had not arrived in time, then he would likely have lost his life."

"You're welcome," Seeing Xiao Yufan said with a smile. "After all, I am a Spirit Medium." Seeing Xiao Yufan watched the little boy slowly regain consciousness and let out a relieved sigh. He turned to Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying and said: "Alright, it's fine now. This child has passed the critical period. Once he rests a bit, he will recover."

Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying both breathed a sigh of relief; their eyes, fixed on Seeing Xiao Yufan, were filled with gratitude and reverence. Seeing Xiao Yufan offered a faint smile and said, "Let us return first and let him rest properly."

Prince Di Luomi nodded in agreement. Hearing Ming Ying silently followed behind Seeing Xiao Yufan, his heart filled with doubt and confusion. He had never understood how Seeing Xiao Yufan had managed all this, nor what kind of person he truly was.

Back in Hearing Ming Ying's room, Hearing Ming Ying could no longer hold back and asked, "Seeing Xiao Yufan, who exactly are you?"

Seeing Xiao Yufan smiled faintly and said, "I am a Spirit Summoner, and also one who absorbs all curses."

"A Spirit Summoner?" Hearing Ming Ying was stunned; he never expected Seeing Xiao Yufan to say such a thing. "Then why did you come here?"

Looking into Hearing Ming Ying's eyes, Seeing Xiao Yufan said calmly, "I sensed my mother's presence on you, which is why I came here. At the same time, I wished to see what exactly is wrong with you."

Hearing Ming Ying fell silent for a moment, then said, "Your mother? Are you saying your mother was also a Spirit Summoner?"

Seeing Xiao Yufan nodded, a faint sorrow showing on his face. He did not wish to recall his mother again, yet he knew that unless he faced the past, he could not possess a future.

Seeing the expression on Seeing Xiao Yufan's face, Hearing Ming Ying felt a touch of sympathy in his heart. Realizing he had asked too much, he changed the subject and said, "Seeing Xiao Yufan, why do you absorb curses?"

Looking into Hearing Ming Ying's eyes, Seeing Xiao Yufan said, "My constitution differs from ordinary people; thus, I possess two distinct special abilities within my body. One is Spirit Summoning, and the other is absorbing all curses. Since my birth, I have been absorbing various curses. Upon arriving here this time, I sensed many traces of curses, which is why today's events occurred."

Hearing this, Hearing Ming Ying stared at Seeing Xiao Yufan in shock; he could not help but recall his own experiences before becoming a Spirit Summoner. Back then, he had suffered assaults from all kinds of curses. Yet, unlike Seeing Xiao Yufan, he did not possess such an ability; he could only silently endure the pain brought by those curses.

"Such an ability is quite good," Hearing Ming Ying said with a hint of envy. "At least you will not be assaulted by any curse."

Seeing Xiao Yufan smiled faintly and said, "Quite good, indeed. However, there are still many things in this world I do not understand. I need more trials and learning."

Hearing Ming Ying nodded; he felt Seeing Xiao Yufan knew far more than he did. He felt his own heart had somehow become even smaller. He could not help but recall a saying: Some people are great because they are willing to give themselves for others.

At that moment, Prince Di Luomi entered carrying two cups of hot tea. Looking at the two young men, he said, "I heard you are old acquaintances? That is wonderful; from now on, you should grow closer."

Observing Prince Di Luomi's expression, Hearing Ming Ying asked cautiously, "Did Brother Di Luoka not come?"

"He went out on business," Prince Di Luomi said calmly. "He said he would go settle accounts with the one who cast the curse. I think we should first take good care of this child."

Seeing Xiao Yufan nodded and said, "Indeed. Let us first take good care of this child." Over the next few days, Seeing Xiao Yufan and Hearing Ming Ying stayed at Prince Di Luomi's house, caring for the little boy together while waiting for news from Brother Di Luoka.

One night, Brother Di Luoka returned, covered in dust and travel-worn. He looked somewhat weary, yet his eyes sparkled with determined light.

"Did you find that person?" Seeing Xiao Yufan and Hearing Ming Ying asked, both somewhat tense.

Brother Di Luoka nodded and gestured for them to follow him. They entered Brother Di Luoka's room; Brother Di Luoka closed the door and said slowly, "I found him. His name is Xu Lin."

"Xu Lin?" Seeing Xiao Yufan and Hearing Ming Ying were both surprised. "Who is he?"

"He is a wizard," Brother Di Luoka said in a deep voice. "At the same time, he is also a Spirit Summoner."

"A wizard?" A flicker of doubt passed through Seeing Xiao Yufan's eyes. "I recall you said wizards are not allowed to participate in Spirit Summoning."

"Yes," Brother Di Luoka nodded. "However, Xu Lin is a very special person. He was born into an ordinary family, yet from childhood he displayed extraordinary talent. He is proficient in all kinds of curses and can even alter curses through his own abilities."

"Alter curses?" A hint of wariness flashed in Seeing Xiao Yufan's eyes.
