"Oh no! Huo'er..." Mr. Hei instantly understood, and his heart leaped into his throat.
They had left Huo'er home alone, intending to protect her. With the dual protection of his barrier and Bei Mingyuan's Array, it should have been foolproof and perfectly safe. Even if something unexpected happened, Huo'er had learned some basic techniques to ward off evil. She should have been able to protect herself temporarily and call for help immediately, not end up in dire straits.
But still, the unthinkable had happened!
If that wood spirit had shown up at their door, Huo'er wouldn't have been able to tell it wasn't the real Bai Qi, not with his body possessed. She would have been completely fooled. She couldn't sense auras, and besides, Bai Qi was the last person she would ever be on guard against. And if the wood spirit had managed to glimpse some of Bai Qi's memories and secrets, it would have been certain to go after her.
"Quick, we have to..." he said, his voice laced with panic.
