"Sister, I know what you an. I thought the sa at first, but after careful consideration, Zhao Ya’s condition is different from the old man’s. I just diagnosed her, and there’s no yin energy in her body. That’s different from the old man." Lin Tian shook his head and said seriously.
"So we got excited for nothing?" Zi Yan said reluctantly.
"Not necessarily. Zhao Ya doesn’t have yin energy, but her vitality is still draining. So I conclude that sothing external is causing her vitality depletion." Lin Tian inferred.
"Zi Yan, what are you talking about? Am I going to be okay?" Zhao Ya asked fearfully.
Lin Tian answered for her, "I said your condition is caused by an external factor. If you want to be okay, answer honestly. Have you eaten anything strange recently? Or been to any unfamiliar places? t any strange people?"
Zhao Ya hesitated for a while before saying, "Actually, my diet hasn’t changed much, and I haven’t left Jinghua City recently, but..."
"But what?" Lin Tian frowned.
"I’ve recently co into contact with Southern Witchcraft because I heard that it can bring good luck." Zhao Ya said a bit embarrassed.
"Southern Witchcraft? Tell more." Lin Tian asked, feeling puzzled, and Southern Witchcraft reminded him of the cursing technique.
In fact, Southern Witchcraft is far more complex than the cursing technique. It combines talisman, Taoism, or Gu techniques. Those who cultivate these witchcrafts are very mysterious in their actions, so ordinary people only know the na "witchcraft" but not what it really is.
"Honestly, there’s not much to say. I just went with soone to a place and listened to sothing similar to a Spiritual Cultivation Class seminar. They didn’t make eat anything, and I left after that." Zhao Ya said confusedly.
"Try to rember carefully, did you bring anything back?" Lin Tian asked carefully, slowly guiding her mory.
Zhao Ya furrowed her brow and thought for a while, suddenly saying, "Oh right, they gave a seed, said it was a fortune seed, and told to plant it in a pot when I got back."
"Oh, where did you plant it?" Lin Tian asked.
"On the balcony outside the living room, in the green pot." Zhao Ya pointed outside and said.
Lin Tian got up and went to the living room, reaching the balcony, which had several potted plants, but one green pot stood out.
In the green pot was a plant that Lin Tian couldn’t identify, but he found it strange that the plant was palm-sized, not typical for just sprouting.
What kind of plant grows so fast? Lin Tian frowned and decided to activate his X-ray vision to examine the plant thoroughly, from leaves to stems, roots, and even the soil.
But what appeared before Lin Tian was indeed an ordinary plant with no abnormalities.
Could I be wrong, and it’s not the seed’s problem? Lin Tian wondered, feeling clueless, and returned to Zhao Ya’s bedroom.
"Junior Brother, did you find anything?" Zi Yan looked over and asked. Lin Tian shook his head, indicating he hadn’t found any issues.
"Then... what should I do?" Zhao Ya asked anxiously, tears welling in her eyes. If no problem could be identified, she couldn’t resolve her issue, facing the threat of death. Few people can remain calm in the face of death.
"How about this, Sister, I’ll stay at Zhao Ya’s house tonight to investigate the situation. You and Miss Kikuchi should go back and pick up tomorrow." Lin Tian pondered for a mont and decided.
"What? You’re staying over with her tonight? Alone man and woman..." Zi Yan widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.
"Sister, what are you thinking? If I’m not mistaken, sothing will happen tonight. I’ll be worried if you stay here." Lin Tian explained seriously.
"But you two..." Zi Yan still couldn’t accept it.
"What do you an by us, you all? Zhao Ya is in such a state, what more could we do? Sister, don’t tell you’re jealous?" Lin Tian said with a half-smile.
"Hmph, who’d be jealous of you? Suit yourself; I don’t care." Zi Yan said angrily.
"Hehe, you’re right, only a ghost would be jealous. Tonight, maybe there will be ghosts around." Lin Tian chuckled, teasing them, making the ladies look around nervously, suspicious and scared.
"Zi Yan, if you’re worried, you can stay at my place tonight. My apartnt is on the twelfth floor, not far away." Shen Anni suggested.
Zi Yan’s eyes lit up and nodded, "Alright, I’ll stay at Miss Anni’s place tonight. Junior Brother, if you need help, just call , okay? I’m loyal, aren’t I?"
"Brother Lin, too, I can help as well." Kikuchi Mika chid in.
Lin Tian helplessly patted his forehead. You two won, it’s already good if you don’t cause trouble, and you want to help. Don’t get scared and wet your pants when you see a ghost. Hmm, I wonder what it would be like if Sister wet her pants, Lin Tian thought shalessly.
"Alright, stay if you want, but I have one condition. No matter what happens tonight, don’t co down unless I call you, can you do that?" Lin Tian said helplessly.
Zi Yan looked at him, smiling, "Of course, we won’t cause you any trouble."
Lin Tian saw her eyes flickering with a sly look, but since she agreed, he had no choice but to accept it.
With things arranged, Zi Yan ordered takeout for lunch and dinner. Everyone ate at Zhao Ya’s house, but Zhao Ya had no appetite.
After dinner, it gradually got dark outside, and the night lights ca on. Lin Tian hurried the three upstairs and locked the door afterward.
Once Zi Yan and the others left, only Lin Tian and Zhao Ya remained, alone. Lin Tian didn’t mind, but Zhao Ya felt a bit shy.
To ease the tension, Lin Tian casually asked, "Miss Zhao Ya, did you notice anything unusual before falling asleep the past few days?"
"Not really, but every morning I wake up feeling exhausted, I don’t know why?" Zhao Ya answered.
Waking up exhausted in the morning? Lin Tian’s mind raced; could it be sothing happening while Zhao Ya sleeps? It’s very possible.
But Zhao Ya couldn’t sleep, so she watched TV with Lin Tian in the living room. Neither of them spoke, and the only sound was coming from the TV, making the living room even quieter, almost eerily so.
Lin Tian simply closed his eyes and used his Eye of Clarity to monitor the entire living room, including Zhao Ya.
Unknowingly, it was nearing midnight. Zhao Ya yawned and boredly changed the TV channels with the remote.
Suddenly, a beeping sound rang out. It was Zhao Ya’s phone ringing, followed by a ti announcent: The current ti is midnight.
As soon as the ti was announced, Zhao Ya suddenly stood up and stared blankly at the living room balcony, then walked outside.
