Chapter 274 World Eleven (Fifteen)

Seeing Tan Qianfan's disheveled clothes, You Dongjun's eyes turned slightly cold. He turned around, half hugging the treasure fan.

You Dongjun raised his wide sleeves to block the view of the treasure fan.

Tan's mother blushed and scolded Tan Qianfan: "What are you doing?"

Tan Qianfan looked lazy. He casually pulled back the belt on the bedside and tied up his open inner garment. He said in a casual voice, "Of course, you have to take off your clothes before going to bed. Do you think you should sleep with your clothes on? This matter should be blamed on you, mother. I was sleeping peacefully in the room when you suddenly broke in with a group of people and scared the child.

Mother doesn't think she's wrong, but instead blames her child for being rude. This is really unreasonable."

Tan's mother knew that Tan Qianfan was adept at making clever arguments, so she said angrily, "What time is it now? The servant thought you were inside, but he didn't know you were still fast asleep on the couch. Forget it, get ready quickly. The Taoist priest has something to ask you."

Mrs. Tan led the few people out of the door, asked the maid to serve them fragrant tea and snacks, and apologized to them for her previous rude behavior.

You Dongjun already had a negative impression of dandy boys like Tan Qianfan, and his dislike was now even stronger. However, he had come to investigate whether his wife's death was the work of an evil spirit. Furthermore, the movement of the copper needle on the compass indicated that the Tan family compound was undoubtedly infested with evil spirits. Therefore, You Dongjun remained calm and said it was nothing serious.

Gu Xiaoxiao muttered softly, "Young Master Tan, he looks handsome, but he's actually a scoundrel. Even his handsome face is greatly diminished."

Gu Xiaoxiao seemed to have thought of something. She slowly walked to the side of the treasure fan and asked in a low voice, "Did you see that just now?"

Bao Shan's black eyelashes trembled slightly, and her watery eyes were full of ignorance: "What did you see?"

Gu Xiaoxiao turned around uncomfortably, her voice becoming smaller and smaller: "It's that Mr. Tan, the marks on his body..."

Hearing this, Bao Shan's originally white and tender earlobes suddenly turned bright red. She lowered her head and hummed softly, "What are you talking about, Miss Gu? How could I dare to look at those..."

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered, obviously not believing it.

She felt that Baoshan must have seen it, otherwise why would she hide shyly in You Dongjun's arms.

Thinking of their reactions just now, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel proud. Although she had been surprised and cried out, she had generally behaved well. And as for the treasure fan... even that little bit of exposed skin could make her panic, her cheeks burning, and she didn't know what to do.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought, no wonder she is a village girl, she acts so shyly.

Because of the disrespectful scene just now, when Tan Qianfan dressed up and appeared in front of everyone, Baoshan still didn't dare to look directly at Tan Qianfan. Baoshan moved lightly and hid behind You Dongjun.

Tan Qianfan recognized You Dongjun. After all, the only person who could repeatedly offend him was this unknown little Taoist priest.

When Tan Qianfan saw the light, snow-white piece of clothing hiding behind You Dongjun, his eyes lit up slightly. He took two steps at a time and went around behind You Dongjun, and indeed saw that porcelain-white, timid face.

Tan Qianfan pulled the corner of his lips slightly and said with a smile: "We meet again, the beautiful lady who lost her handkerchief."

You Dongjun frowned, and the aura around him suddenly became much colder and harder.

Tan's mother hurriedly said, "Don't be rude. This Miss Baoshan and Miss Gu are good friends of the young Taoist priest.

Since you got engaged, you've encountered many strange things. This time, the little Taoist priest came to find out the truth, so that you can get rid of your bad reputation and get married soon."

Tan Qianfan frowned, as if he didn't believe in You Dongjun's ability.

But with Tan's mother in front of him, Tan Qianfan couldn't do anything out of line. He just stretched out his arms and said loudly, "Little Taoist priest, how do you want to check?"

You Dongjun did not approach Tan Qianfan. He just took out the compass from his waist and stared at the copper needle.

I saw the copper needle trembling slightly. If it weren't for my sharp eyes, it would be difficult to detect the tiny difference.

You Dongjun said calmly, "The evil spirit is in you."

Everyone present was shocked, especially Tan's mother. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she looked at Tan Qianfan worriedly.

Tan Qianfan, however, remained calm. He asked, "Since it's an evil spirit, can the little Taoist priest tell whether it's a demon or a ghost?"

Although Tan Qianfan asked this, he didn't think You Dongjun could answer it.

Tan Qianfan did not understand Taoism, but there were many sorcerers who wanted to cheat him out of money.

If the Taoist wanted to please people, he would say that Tan Qianfan had a full forehead and would definitely have many children and grandchildren, and was destined to be rich and prosperous.

If a Taoist priest wanted to make money, he would definitely invent many bizarre stories, claiming that he would encounter evil spirits and that unless he paid money to ward off evil, he would be injured at best and killed at worst. If Tan Qianfan had asked carefully how to ward off evil spirits, he would have played into the Taoist priest's hands.

Without spending over a hundred taels of silver, the evil spirit cannot be eliminated.

Tan Qianfan looked at him coldly, wondering how You Dongjun would answer, would he be vague or say something confusing.

However, no matter which one it was, Tan Qianfan was determined to expose You Dongjun in front of everyone.

Who made this little Taoist priest have such a cold face and protect the treasure fan behind his back, as if he, Tan Qianfan, was some dirty thing that could not be approached.

But You Dongjun just raised the compass and looked directly at Tan Qianfan, his black pupils as calm as water.

You Dongjun said calmly, "It's not a demon, it's a ghost."

As soon as You Dongjun finished speaking, silence fell all around.

Baoshan's body trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed a corner of You Dongjun's Taoist robe, and only then did he feel at ease.

The relaxed expression on Tan Qianfan's face disappeared completely. He frowned, his voice tinged with anger: "Don't talk nonsense. It's broad daylight, in the open world, where did this ghost come from?"

Mother Tan responded anxiously, "The Tan family has a special house set aside for worshipping ancestors and various gods.

When this house was built, it was inspected by several Taoist priests and confirmed to be a good place with beautiful scenery. Now, how come it has attracted ghosts again?

Seeing that Tan Qianfan didn't believe what You Dongjun said, although Tan's mother's attitude was gentle, the words between the lines were no different from Tan Qianfan's.

Bao Shan was anxious and frowned, not wanting You Dongjun to be seen as a liar in the eyes of everyone.

Bao Shan half emerged from behind You Dongjun. She said timidly, "The Taoist priest will not make mistakes. You should trust him."

You Dongjun glanced at her and met Bao Shan's beautiful eyes full of water.

You Dongjun's heart skipped a beat, but he turned away calmly, his expression normal. He was never one for mystery. He said bluntly, "It's a lovesick ghost. This ghost wasn't born in the Tan family compound, but was picked up by Mr. Tan outside his home."

The Tan family worshipped the gods with great enthusiasm, so the smell of the ghost had already dissipated before Mr. Tan entered the Tan family.

But the Love Ghost is so obsessed that he would rather sacrifice his soul power to leave a mark on Mr. Tan.

Therefore, the copper needle of the compass only moves slightly.

Tan Qianfan murmured to himself, "Lovesick ghost, where did this lovesick ghost come from?"

You Dongjun's voice was as calm as water, and what he said was an extremely terrifying and horrifying ghost story.

But You Dongjun's voice did not fluctuate at all, just like the bottom of a clear lake, with very few ripples.

"The reason ghosts can take shape and cling to the human world is simply because of obsession.

Or if they want to take revenge, they will transform into evil spirits and kill their enemies.

If the resentment is too deep, it will become a wandering soul, floating around until the resentment dissipates, and then it can leave.

As for lovesick ghosts, they are mostly women who, sick with lovesickness, refuse to leave even after death. Their spirits will linger around their lovers for a long time.

Even when talking about love between men and women, You Dongjun's words became extremely calm, without any romance.

His words made the lovesick ghost look even more terrifying.

Gu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and looked at Tan Qianfan: "Mr. Tan is so romantic and wanton. There are not enough women in the world for you to seduce. You won't even let go of a ghost."

If it were any other day, Tan Qianfan would definitely have to have a good argument with Gu Xiaoxiao.

But at this moment, Tan Qianfan thought that there was a ghost lingering around him, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Tan Qianfan didn't want to think that the ghost stayed by his side out of longing for him. Tan Qianfan thought to himself: What lovesick ghost? A ghost is a ghost. Humans and ghosts are different. If she really had feelings for him, she should have left him long ago. Why stay in the world and hurt him?

Tan Qianfan wanted to ask You Dongjun for advice on how to deal with this lovesick ghost.

But Tan Qianfan, remembering how he had deliberately made things difficult for her, felt a bit embarrassed. Mother Tan, no longer so worried, said, "Little Taoist priest, please be kind and save my son. There's a ghost around him, and it's bad for him. It will be hard for him to start a family in the future."

You Dongjun replied coldly: "This is not difficult, you just need to..."

You Dongjun thought for a moment before he said, "Tell me about your lover, and you'll find the Love Ghost's whereabouts."

Tan Qianfan blushed and touched his head: "But there are quite a few women who are friends with me."

Hearing this, Tan's mother was extremely angry, but she couldn't scold Tan Qianfan in front of everyone.

Tan's mother had no choice but to lead the few people to the main hall and let You Dongjun rest for a while. She then accompanied Tan Qianfan to count in detail which woman he was dating was the most suspicious.

The maid brought tea to several people. Baoshan looked at the tea in her own cup and found that it was very different from You Dongjun and Gu Xiaoxiao's, so she asked curiously.

Mother Tan said softly, "I saw that you were weak, Baoshan, so I asked the kitchen to stew a bowl of snow lotus soup to help you recuperate.

The young Taoist priest and Miss Gu were drinking West Lake Longjing tea, so the two must be different."

Tan's mother thought that if they wanted to get rid of the evil spirit, You Dongjun would have to spend more effort, so the Tan family would naturally have to express their intentions first.

Bao Shan held the bowl of snow lotus soup, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She raised her eyes slightly and cast a look of help to You Dongjun: "Master, what should I do?"

You Dongjun raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Since it can nourish your body, drink it."

Gu Xiaoxiao whispered, "It's just a bowl of snow lotus soup, why are you, a village girl, so cautious?

Given the young Taoist priest's skills, the Tan family would not be able to hire him even if they spent a hundred or a thousand taels of silver.

Now, the young Taoist priest is willing to help them exorcise the demon, so what does it matter if you drink a cup of snow lotus soup? "

After saying that, Gu Xiaoxiao gently opened the tea lid and savored the mellow flavor of West Lake Longjing.

Baoshan saw You Dongjun nod, and then he sipped the snow lotus soup in small sips.

The taste was no different from ordinary sweet soup. After the snow lotus soup entered his stomach, Baoshan felt a little better.

She smiled softly at You Dongjun and said, "Master, it tastes very light."

Baoshan had a pair of watery almond eyes. When she looked at others, the image of that person would fill her eyes, making people feel as if there was only one person in Baoshan's heart and eyes.

Seeing those misty eyes staring at him motionlessly, You Dongjun responded softly and picked up the teacup.
