Blake helped Lilly find the address of Master Ernest.
After Max's encounter with the terrifying girlfriend, he claimed that his house was undergoing critical renovations and he needed to install panels himself... and slipped away.
Edward, who was currently working on Max's house, immediately abandoned the task and rushed over.
"Uncle Edward?" Lilly exclaimed in surprise. "Why do you look even darker now?"
Edward felt speechless. After all, it's typical for construction workers to have a tanned complexion...
Edward shrugged it off and said nonchalantly, "Granny asked me to come and check on you guys."
Josh chimed in, "Oh, so now is Uncle Edward's turn!"
Uncle Blake had been quite busy lately, seemingly unable to escape Uncle Colton's grasp. He had been personally leading the team.
As for Dad, he was swamped with work as always, while Uncle Liam was working on a design project and keeping an eye on Hannah as she did her homework.
Uncle Bryson was still all over the place, and Uncle Jonas was in high demand for his acting gigs.
Uncle Max had just slipped away, claiming he needed to renovate his house. Josh believed he must have been frightened the previous night.
Uncle Cloud's special status kept him hidden in some corner, and Uncle Gilbert, being a doctor, was also occupied.
Edward got into the car and said, "Let's go!"
Bettany came out with a water bottle and hung it around Lilly's neck. She reminded her, "Stay hydrated in this hot weather... and come back early tonight!"
Lilly nodded, "Okay, Granny, don't worry!"
Bettany hesitated for a moment, then decided against saying anything. Well, whenever Lilly managed to come home on time, she truly became a 'good-for-nothing girl.'
Bettany watched the car leave and then turned around, massaging her lower back before going inside.
Inside the car, Pablo floated to one side.
Lilly began, "Master, yesterday I encountered a malignant spirit, a rich spirit."
Pablo nodded, "Did you capture it?"
He appeared much calmer now. He still remembered when Lilly first captured a malignant spirit and got injured. But now... he didn't need to worry about her at all.
Lilly shook her head, "The uncle possessed by the spirit didn't let anyone get close, so I couldn't capture it."
"Yesterday, I tried using the pen of judgment to find out where that uncle lived and investigate who Master Ernest is, but I didn't find anything."
Pablo suddenly lost his composure and asked, "Did you start scribbling with the pen of judgment again?"
Lilly pouted and said confidently, "I didn't scribble randomly! I had a purpose in mind."
Pablo was speechless.
Lilly muttered under her breath, "But I didn't find anything..."
It was strange that when she searched with a purpose, she couldn't find anything.
Lilly continued, "Master... I saw that other world again."
Pablo asked, "Which world? The one you saw last time?"
After contemplating for a moment, Lilly described the world to Pablo. Based on their analysis, they speculated that it belonged to a realm beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths.
It was as if Emperor Prosper was no longer in Ghost Town; he had transcended beyond the Three Realms.
"In this vast world, what you see may not be others but yourself through their eyes. Similarly, those people might think they are witnessing someone else's world without realizing that they are being observed by others."
Lilly didn't respond.
She was annoyed. Master always spoke words she couldn't fully grasp.
Lilly said, "Master, maybe you should stop saying these things."
Pablo chuckled, "Lilly, are you starting to find fault with your Master now, huh?"
Lilly looked at him seriously and said, "Master, do you know what you remind me of right now?"
Pablo curiously remained silent.
Lilly replied, "A little bit like that girlfriend from last night."
