But now, hearing what the female ghost said, it seems that she had also been hiding in the paper figure, just like before.

Lin Xi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Yuan Yuan.

"Were you feeling unwell before that night? Or did you experience fatigue or lack of energy?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan immediately recalled that he did indeed feel a little unwell that afternoon, feeling weak and sleepy.

He realized he might be getting sick, but because he was always healthy, even if he accidentally caught a cold, he didn't need to take any medicine. He just drank more hot water, got a good night's sleep, and was basically fine the next day.

So he didn't take it to heart at all and continued to work with renewed vigor.

On his way home, he felt cold while riding his bike because the wind was strong at night, which he considered normal.

Once he got home, he couldn't possibly tell his mother that he had felt a little unwell during the day, so as not to worry her.

As for what happened at the hospital, he didn't mention it at all, simply because he had forgotten about it...

After listening to his recollections, Lin Xi knew where the problem lay.

When a person is sick, the yang energy in their body weakens, and since it was nighttime when Yuan Yuan saw the female ghost, the yin energy was even stronger.

Under these circumstances, it is very likely that people will see things that they cannot see normally due to the weakening of Yang energy.

The fever that Yuan Yuan developed after falling into a coma was probably not caused by the female ghost, but rather because Yuan Yuan already had a fever and a cold.

No wonder Yuan Yuan was still not fully awake even after his fever subsided.

It turns out that having a cold and fever and his coma were two completely different things.

However, even if it is proven that Yuan Yuan was mistaken at the time, it cannot be denied that the female ghost had haunted him for several days.

And Yuan Yuan had clearly rejected her that night, but the female ghost felt that if she tried again and gave each other more chances and time, maybe Yuan Yuan would start dating her.

Although the mistake of identifying the wrong person caused a bit of a misunderstanding, ultimately, the female ghost was still in the wrong in the subsequent events.

However, the female ghost didn't force Yuan Yuan to do anything in the dream. She just stayed by his side and would ask him every now and then if he was willing to date her now.

Like an NPC that's on a timer.

However, no one knows whether, if Yuan Fang hadn't called Lin Xi, or if Yuan Yuan had continued to refuse the female ghost in his dream, she would have trapped him in the dream forever, causing him to never wake up in the real world.

So in the end, Lin Xi still managed to capture the female ghost and take her away.

This female ghost has made a mistake and must be punished.

She planned to take the female ghost back to Mo Rong and Xiao Cheng for some training.

Before taking the female ghost away, Lin Xi asked Yuan Yuan if he had any other needs, such as how the female ghost should apologize to him or make compensation to him.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan immediately waved his hands frantically, indicating that all he wanted now was to get rid of this big Buddha statue as soon as possible, and he had no other desires.

He was genuinely afraid of the other party.

After all, it's hard to say whether they actually did anything particularly cruel or terrible to him.

But she kept haunting him in his dreams, asking him if he wanted to be in a relationship, which was something he really couldn't resist.

So it's best to send him away as soon as possible so he can never see her again.

Seeing that he had no demands, Lin Xi didn't say anything more. She simply put the female ghost into a talisman and prepared to take her back to the feng shui shop first thing tomorrow morning.

There aren't many cars available to get back to the city from the village at night, so Lin Xi stayed at Yuan's house that night.

The next morning, she and Yuan Fang returned to the city.

After this incident, the way Yuan Fang and Lin Xi interacted changed.

Although she had been very kind to Lin Xi and the others before, her kindness towards Lin Xi now also carried a hint of respect and awe.

Fortunately, she was sensible and didn't go so far as to treat Lin Xi like a godmother, so Lin Xi didn't say anything.

After returning to the city, Lin Xi and Yuan Fang went straight back to the museum.

When her colleagues at the museum asked about her brother's situation, Yuan Fang explained the situation, especially mentioning that the matter was resolved with Lin Xi's help.

On the way back, Yuan Fang asked Lin Xi if she needed to keep her master's identity a secret at the museum.

Lin Xi then said no.

After all, her other identity isn't something shameful, so there's no need to hide it.

Of course, there's no need to deliberately promote it; just let it happen naturally.

As a result, when Yuan Fang told another colleague about her brother Yuan Yuan's incident, she wanted to use every good word she could think of to praise Lin Xi.

Lin Xidu, who happened to be standing nearby, almost blushed when he heard this.

Suddenly, I started to suspect that Yuan Fang might have joined some kind of praise group in private.

Xu Jing couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

However, because of Yuan Fang's words, another colleague also realized Lin Xi's capabilities and said that if there was anything in the future, she would definitely ask Lin Xi for help.

When the other person said this, Lin Xi immediately stopped her and reminded her not to say such things casually and to be careful to avoid any ominous signs.

Although it won't always come true, if you're unlucky one day and your words become a self-fulfilling prophecy, you'll have nowhere to cry about your regrets.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fang and others nodded quickly, indicating that they had learned something.

Just two days later, Lin Xi noticed another colleague with large dark circles under her eyes while at work.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Lin Xi frowned.

To an ordinary person, the dark circles under that person's eyes might simply be due to staying up late and not getting enough sleep, but Lin Xi could vaguely see a hint of yin energy in them.

Having resolved her family troubles these past few days, Yuan Fang felt refreshed and invigorated. Seeing her colleague rubbing her eyes and looking tired as she walked in, she casually asked a question.

"Xiaoxiao, you didn't stay up late watching live streams again last night, did you? Didn't you just say you were going to adjust your sleep schedule a couple of days ago?"

Although phrases like "adjusting your schedule" and "I'll definitely go to bed early tomorrow" are practically empty words for today's young people, her dark circles are so heavy, it's obvious she's been staying up late for a long time. If this continues, she might really have health problems.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head in distress, then yawned widely and explained.

"No, I went to bed quite early last night, a little after midnight, and I didn't stay up late much."

She went to bed a little after midnight, which was indeed early for her, considering she used to often put down her phone at one or two in the morning.

Yuan Fang was taken aback and also became puzzled.

"Oh? Why do you look like this? I thought you almost stayed up all night again last night."

Yan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then said.

"I probably didn't sleep well last night. In the building where I live, someone kept making noises in the middle of the night, making me half asleep and half awake, which was almost the same as not sleeping at all."

As Yan Xiaoxiao spoke, she also scolded the family for being so inconsiderate, disturbing the peace so late at night.

Yuan Fang didn't think much of it, only reminding her that next time she encountered such a situation, she should remember to contact the property management immediately and let them handle it.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that she fully agreed with Yuan Fang's point of view.

Actually, she had a similar thought last night. She was half asleep and wanted to call the property management, but she was too tired to open her eyes or lift her arms, so she didn't call them in the end.
