Chapter 121: Dispel the Evil Spirit (19)
“`
Yao Wei visited several days in a row, each ti bringing little treats with her.
As soon as she left Chuzheng’s, she would throw the stuff away.
Xia Han was puzzled by Yao Wei’s sudden warmth, could it be she had taken a liking to him?
But it didn’t seem to be the case with Yao Wei.
A week later, Yao Wei invited Xia Han to a party at her house.
Xia Han didn’t want to go.
But Yao Wei insisted he co, repeatedly beseeching him, and eventually left the invitation behind.
Clutching the invitation, Xia Han felt bewildered and sought help from Chuzheng, “Little Beauty, what does she want to do?”
Chuzheng, the boss, sat very heroically, “Don’t know.”
“You don’t know either?” In Xia Han’s eyes, Chuzheng was probably omnipotent.
“The ghostly aura in her body is stronger than before,” Chuzheng said, “Be careful on your own.”
“Aren’t you coming with ?”
“I’m busy.” Why should she tag along? It’s his business, what does it have to do with her? Besides, she wasn’t invited! Not going!
Xia Han bypassed the coffee table, sat next to Chuzheng, and hugged her arm, “Little Beauty, you’re really not coming with ? What if a ghost harms ?”
Chuzheng: “…”
After so thought, Chuzheng said, “Take that Oil Bottle with you.”
Evil·Oil Bottle·Spirit: “…”
Who the heck is your Oil Bottle! He’s very powerful!
Despite claiming she wouldn’t go, on the day of the party, Chuzheng still followed behind Xia Han.
How did she beco so pitiful as to be a nanny?
The party was held at Yao Wei’s house.
There weren’t many people, and they all seed to be Yao Wei’s good friends.
When Xia Han entered, he attracted quite a bit of attention, and even so ca up to chat. Xia Han felt uneasy, but Yao Wei appeared just in ti to lead him to a quieter spot.
“I thought you wouldn’t co,” said Yao Wei, looking very pretty in a tight-fitting dress that hugged her curvy figure, the sequins on the hem glittering under the lights.
However, her complexion was not very good; makeup could barely conceal it.
Xia Han gave an awkward smile.
Yao Wei seed worried he might feel out of place, so she settled him in a corner, “Sit here for a while, there’s food over there, and if you’re bored, you can go upstairs, there’s an entertainnt room.”
“Thank you, sister.”
“I’ll go greet the other guests,” said Yao Wei, mingling into the crowd with a glass in her hand.
Chuzheng floated in from sowhere, perching on the armrest of the sofa.
With a slight stretch of his hand, Xia Han could wrap his arm around her waist.
And that’s exactly what Xia Han did.
“Little Beauty, didn’t you say you weren’t coming? Are you worried about ?”
“If a ghost catches you, I still have to co rescue you, which is troubleso.”
“So you are worried about ,” Xia Han concluded.
He didn’t care what Chuzheng said.
Chuzheng: “…” Whatever makes you happy.
Xia Han and Chuzheng talked, with Chuzheng not very talkative and only replying after a long while.
Her gaze swept through the hall then slowly settled on the stairs.
She frowned slightly, as Yao Wei returned from the crowd.
“How is it, boring?”
Xia Han didn’t dare to say it was boring.
Yao Wei smiled and sat opposite Xia Han, “Actually, I called you here today for another matter.”
Yao Wei’s expression changed slightly.
Xia Han’s heart skipped a beat, his face alert.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s my issue,” Yao Wei glanced around, seemingly looking for sothing.
“Sister, what’s the matter?”
Yao Wei pulled her gaze back, “You’re a Heavenly Master, aren’t you?”
“?” Xia Han shook his head, “I’m not.”
“`
One cannot be called a Heavenly Master just by being on Taokong Mountain.
He couldn’t even complete the entry-level assessnt of a Heavenly Master.
Yao Wei was taken aback, “Isn’t that so? I thought that you…”
She had made a mistake and Yao Wei felt sowhat embarrassed.
She began to feel a bit restless.
“Then, those people who were with you at the cocktail party last ti…”
“They… are my senior brothers,” Xia Han said.
“So, you also do this?” Yao Wei’s hope rose slightly.
“I can indeed see so things. Speak your mind, sister,” Xia Han offered.
Yao Wei’s eyes lit up: “Can you help see if there is that kind of thing here?”
Xia Han looked around and finally shook his head: “No.”
Yao Wei inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
“I think…” Yao Wei hesitated; she tried to control her fear, but it still showed in her eyes.
“Sister, if you need it, I can give you the contact information for Taokong Mountain,” Xia Han offered proactively.
Yao Wei quickly shook her head: “No.”
She looked at Xia Han: “The thing is, I’ve already asked several renowned Heavenly Masters, but…”
Her smile was helpless: “It was no use.”
“Why are you looking for then?” What use could a person, who could only see ghosts, be?
“Let put it this way.” Yao Wei exhaled, “A few months ago, I felt sothing was wrong at ho: objects were displaced, or I would see things I’ve never seen before.”
Besides these, she would feel inexplicably cold while sleeping and sotis felt as if soone were watching her.
But when she got up, there was nothing there at ho.
At that ti, she had people co over to check, the ones recomnded in their circles, naturally, were capable Heavenly Masters.
But they detected nothing.
Yao Wei felt more and more uneasy living there.
Considering moving out, however, soon after she relocated, various accidents occurred.
She could only move back here, reluctantly.
In daily life, aside from these small matters, no other incidents occurred.
Yao Wei, fearing being alone, would hold such small gatherings every few days; otherwise, she would go out and spend ti playing with friends. It was a way to forget these issues.
“I was surprised to see you here, but I realized… When I’m near you, the constant chill that follows suddenly disappears.”
Yao Wei seed a bit embarrassed: “Xia Han, little brother, have I been bothering you these days?”
Xia Han: “…” Little Beauty was very dissatisfied that she kept appearing every day, saying she was noisy.
“If other Heavenly Masters can’t do anything, could you take a look for ?” Yao Wei asked, “Don’t worry, I know the rules, regardless of success, I will pay the reward.”
Xia Han didn’t know how to do anything, how could he dare to take on such a responsibility recklessly.
He was about to shake his head to refuse when Chuzheng pressed down on his head, forcing him to nod instead of shaking it.
Xia Han silently inquired Chuzheng.
“There’s money.”
Xia Han: “…”
Yao Wei, afraid Xia Han would refuse, had already prepared a hefty sum.
After all, the house Xia Han lived in was similar to her own; he must not be short of money.
Yao Wei didn’t expect Xia Han to agree so easily.
Yao Wei asked soone to take care of the guests downstairs and led Xia Han upstairs: “The second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor contains the study and entertainnt room. There are a lot of rooms here, but I don’t use many of them, so most are unoccupied.”
As she introduced the place, Yao Wei led Xia Han forward.
Just as they reached the end of the staircase, a few people suddenly appeared at the entrance to the hall.
A woman walk in with two others, one elderly and one young.
“Mom?” Yao Wei called out.
The woman was also startled, apparently not expecting the place to be so lively.
Yao Wei asked Xia Han to wait a mont and went downstairs to et the woman. The two exchanged so words in private.
Eventually, Yao Wei went upstairs with the woman and those who ca with her.
