Being an ordinary person, Gu Zhi was not meant to be able to kill ghosts.
He would by no means break his character profile until at the last moment.
Father Yao felt a little strange in his heart as he saw Ming Shu didn’t look worried at all. Didn’t they say the two were dating?
What did she mean then?
“Qian Sui, stop where you are, or I’ll kill him, I mean it.”
“Oh, kill him then.” Ming Shu was stepping on a ghost and crushed it hard; the ghost was annihilated in an instant. She looked over slowly with her lips curled. “I’ll tell the Gu family that you’ve killed their young master.”
Gu Zhi: “.……”
Others might have begged with tears to not kill him when facing such a situation, but she, she was great, she seemed to worry he wouldn’t die soon enough and even instigated the man to kill him!
What made Gu Zhi even more irritated happened in the next second: Ming Shu took out her phone and began to record. “Come, start your performance. That one, you, right, please make me a light.”
Little “That One” Lighting Engineer Beastie: “.……”
But then Father Yao was shown blood by a sudden strong light.
“Too strong, make it dimmer!”
Father Yao heard something murmuring from that side.
Then he felt a cold wind blowing past him and his body was thrown up uncontrollably, falling afterward.
“Pfft……”
Father Yao slammed into a small slope and spat blood.
What made him even more afraid was that all the ghosts he refined lost contact with him at the same time.
Gu Zhi was held in Ming Shu’s arms. The warmth of her body dissipated the chill.
“Why are you here?” Ming Shu asked him.
“I came to find you.” Gu Zhi gritted his teeth.
“I think you came to seek death,” Ming Shu dissed.
Actor Gu Zhi breathed deeply and said in an affectionate tone, “I’m willing to die for you.”
“Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable? Remember to tell me early, or if you have to make an amputation, I won’t take responsibility.”
“Hoh hoh……” Gu Zhi sneered but then quickly stopped when Ming Shu looked over. “Wife, you should give me a careful examination when we go back, perhaps I’ve been internally injured……”
Ming Shu took away her hands holding him and pretended not to understand what he meant. “Stay here and don’t move.”
Ming Shu went to give an extra kick to Father Yao and made sure he couldn’t climb up, then squatted down beside him.
Father Yao glared at Ming Shu with hateful and vicious eyes.
He never expected that he would actually be defeated by a young girl.
“Don’t look at me like that, you’ll make me blush.”
Father Yao spat more blood.
Ming Shu moved aside a little to avoid being stained with the blood. “You’ve spat so much blood, why haven’t you fainted?”
Father Yao: “.……”
Ming Shu smiled and continued, “Okay, no more jokes. Let me ask you a question.”
She sounded like they were two old friends who just sat down and would begin to talk happily and willfully.
Father Yao gasped and raised his defiant eyes.
Ming Shu just ignored them. “Where’s my father?”
Father Yao thought she was going to ask why he had targeted her, but didn’t expect her to ask about Qian Li before all.
Father Yao squeezed out some words from between his teeth. “I don’t know.”
Ming Shu poked him with a stick. “Come on, you’ve spat too much blood, can you be a sunny person for a moment? I ask and you answer, saving both of our energy, wouldn’t that be great?”
Be a sunny person?!
What the fuck?
Was she sure she’d used a correct word for this moment?
And, what exactly was the causal relationship in her sentence?
Father Yao revealed a dark face and turned his head away, not looking at Ming Shu. “Just kill me if you dare……”
“Why should I kill you, I don’t kill people,” Ming Shu said.
“What are you doing!”
Father Yao witnessed Ming Shu search for his cellphone and pressed his finger on it to unlock.
Ming Shu tapped the screen and said, “I’ll send a video call invitation to my snacks cou…… to your beloved daughter. I like her very much.”
“No! Stop!” Father Yao struggled and fell in panic.
“If you could tell me where my father is……” Ming Shu paused and tilted her head to look at Father Yao.
Father Yao breathed heavily and changed his expression like an angry chameleon. The hatred and viciousness in his eyes made him look like a poisonous snake.
Father Yao’s voice sounded hoarse. “He’s dead.”
“Did you kill him?”
Father Yao remained silent.
It looked like an implied admission.
“Why did you want me? You wanted to kill me?” Ming Shu continued. “Or did you want to discover the complete art of controlling ghosts from me?”
Father Yao’s eyes flashed with cold light and he snorted. “I didn’t intend to kill Qian Li, but he didn’t cooperate. Your Qian family mastered the art of controlling ghosts yet wasted it and didn’t think to use it.”
Ming Shu pulled a faint smile. “So what? It’s the Qian family’s skill, and it’s up to them to how to use it. What does it have to do with you?”
The Qian family knew the art of controlling ghosts, but also bore a certain responsibility.
They provided aid for those ghosts that couldn’t leave due to worldly obsessions.
Ming Shu sent the video call invitation.
“I’ve told you what you asked,” Father Yao roared. “Why don’t you keep your word!”
“Oh, what a pity, I didn’t promise you.” Ming Shu smiled.
“.……”
Yao Ying was still awake. Receiving Father Yao’s video call, she subconsciously said,
“Talked about what?” Ming Shu interrupted her.
The signal was not very good. Yao Ying didn’t see the situation on the screen clearly until she heard a familiar female voice.
Father Yao lay on the ground;the background was neither the study room she could recognize nor the home. Broken stones and grass were scattered all around.
Beyond the light was just darkness.
Yao Ying stood up in a rush.
“Yingying, leave the Four Scenery Mountain, right now, quickly!” Father Yao shouted.
Yao Ying shook her head.
“Nothing, I just want you to see your father. How do you feel? Are you angry?”
Yao Ying burned with angry fire.
Yao Ying wanted to say something else but the video call was canceled suddenly.
Yao Ying was startled and prepared to dial back in panic. But her hands trembled and the phone was dropped.
Yao Ying picked up her phone in a hurry.
Before she sent the invitation, the video call from the other party rang again.
She answered it quickly. The scene was a little shaky, but the girl’s clear voice came over.
The signal was not very good?
Yao Ying felt the veins jump between her eyebrows. Was she playing her?
But when the shaky scene became still, she felt her whole heart had been pulled from her chest.
Yao Ying clenched her phone with both hands and stared intently at the screen.
Father Yao was hung on a tree. The trunk was so slender that it seemed it would break at any time.
Yao Ying’s blood froze.
She roared with anger in a broken voice, “Qian Sui…… stop! What do you want to do! Let my dad go!”
She couldn’t see Ming Shu, though.
But she knew she was there.
