Chapter 776
It was a bit late, which made Miss Dong’er seem very frustrated.
She felt downcast and muttered dejectedly, "I already ran as fast as I could. As soon as I got the notice, I rushed over without stopping, but I didn’t expect to still be a step late..."
Yang Fan smiled and comforted her, "Earlier, it was me who slowed us down. Otherwise, with your speed, you definitely would’ve made it back early. It’s not actually too late now. Why don’t you check these people again? Since the Dao Bell has the ability to bring back souls, it might also be able to uncover other issues, right?"

"Big brother, this has nothing to do with you. It’s just that I’m too slow," Ji Dong’er shook her head and said. "Let me go check again. Since I borrowed this, I shouldn’t waste it. I should make the most out of what I’ve got."
Yang Fan nodded, "That’s absolutely true."
Ji Dong’er suddenly seemed filled with energy. She picked up the Dao Bell, weaving her way through the bustling crowd, gently shaking the bell while observing the reactions of those around her.
