Chu Yu said in a serious tone, "Who was the fastest runner in ancient times?"
Sima Mingchao thought for a moment and replied, "Kuafu, because Kuafu chased the sun."
Chu Yu shook her head: "That's not right."
Sima Mingchao replied, "Sun Wukong, because he can travel 108,000 li in one somersault."
Chu Yu shook her head again: "That's not right!"
Sima Mingzhao guessed several more times, but none of them were correct. He became anxious: "This is wrong, that is wrong, so what is the answer?"
Chu Yu replied seriously, "The answer is Cao Cao! Because speak of Cao Cao and he appears."
Sima Mingchao: "..."
Holy crap! The answer was actually this? How come he didn't think of that?
Chu Yu teased, "See? You can't even guess this right. It just means you're still sick."
Sima Mingchao: "..."
Song Ze chuckled and couldn't help but laugh.
Sima Mingchao rolled his eyes at him and complained to Chu Yu, "You and that nurse from yesterday aren't in cahoots, are you? You're using the exact same tricks. I fell for her tricks yesterday, but I won't fall for yours today."
Seeing his sullen expression, Chu Yu stopped joking with him and quickly said, "Don't be angry, I was just joking with you. You're back to normal now. Go see a doctor for a check-up later, and if everything is fine, you can be discharged."
Sima Mingchao was overjoyed: "That's wonderful."
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he realized something. He asked urgently, "I was ambushed by Xu Chenyang before, who stole one of my souls and one of my spirits. Now that my soul has returned, did you defeat Xu Chenyang and retrieve my soul?"
Chu Yu nodded: "Yes, just like you thought. I've also sent that female ghost away."
Sima Mingchao looked surprised, then praised with admiration: "You are really amazing, no wonder you are the personal disciple of Daoist Changfeng."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yu's eyes: "You recognized me?"
Sima Mingchao nodded: "I just recognized you. We met before when you and your master came to our Taoist temple."
He bowed deeply to Chu Yu: "You saved me from dire straits this time, and I owe you a great debt of gratitude, which I will repay in the future."
Chu Yu waved her hand repeatedly: "Saving you was just a matter of course, you don't need to take it to heart."
Sima Mingchao said solemnly, "Your kindness without expecting anything in return is a great virtue, while I am grateful for kindness, which is my bottom line. Junior Sister Chu Yu, if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know, and I will do my best to help you."
Seeing that he insisted on repaying the debt of gratitude, Chu Yu let him have his way: "Alright, we are destined to be friends, let's be friends then."
Sima Mingchao happily agreed: "Okay."
He recalled how he had acted crazy in front of Chu Yu before, even treating her like Tom the cat, and his face flushed red with embarrassment. He could have dug a Barbie castle out of his toes.
He coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "Um, Junior Sister Chu Yu, I was acting crazy and irrationally before, and I offended you a lot. Please don't be angry."
Chu Yu smiled and said calmly, "It's alright. That wasn't your intention. You should be more careful when you go out to do things in the future, and don't get ambushed by bad people again. It's best to go with someone. It's always better to have a companion than to go it alone."
Sima Mingchao felt that what she said made sense, so he bowed to her and humbly said, "I have learned a lot. I will definitely accompany you on missions in the future."
"Um."
Chu Yu chatted with him for a while in a pleasant mood, and only after confirming that he was alright did she leave with Song Ze with peace of mind.
...
After Jiang Huai'an and his group called the police last night, Xu Chenyang's case attracted great attention from the police. The police quickly set up an investigation team to investigate Xu Chenyang and soon got results.
Xu Chenyang had an affair with actress Lin Xiaoxiao, murdered his wife for insurance money, used evil magic to control others and make them work as cheap labor, illegally used human blood to develop drugs, evaded taxes, and even the deaths of his father-in-law and mother-in-law were related to him.
His crimes were uncovered, and he was convicted of multiple offenses, quickly imprisoned, and sentenced to death.
Xu Chenyang's story was exposed by the media and quickly went viral, making headlines in major media outlets and drawing widespread condemnation online.
As for actress Lin Xiaoxiao, her transformation from an innocent and pure girl into a shameless mistress shocked everyone and ruined her reputation. She was quickly blacklisted by the entertainment industry, and her TV dramas and commercials could no longer be broadcast because of her, resulting in huge losses. Production companies and advertising agencies issued announcements threatening to sue her, and she will face hefty compensation claims. Her life is essentially over.
Here at the mental hospital.
After the dean's incident, dozens of mental patients were simultaneously diagnosed as having recovered and happily returned home to reunite with their families.
Everyone complained that Xu Chenyang was a scumbag and a jinx. When he was around, the patients were seriously ill, but as soon as he was arrested, they recovered. He deserved to die.
Xu Chenyang was scorned by the entire hospital.
Just as Xu Chenyang was being condemned by the entire internet, news suddenly came from the prison that Xu Chenyang had died. The cause of death was that he had a history of heart disease, and the extreme emotional fluctuations caused a relapse of his heart condition, leading to sudden death.
The news sparked cheers across the internet, but Chu Yu felt something was amiss.
When I fought Xu Chenyang in the basement that day, Xu Chenyang was in pretty good health. Although she beat me up, she shouldn't have died in a day or two.
It is unclear whether he committed suicide due to the shock or was murdered.
Chu Yu wanted to summon Xu Chenyang's soul to find out the truth, but found that his soul had already been scattered and could not be summoned.
Faced with this situation, Chu Yu felt even more uneasy, as if someone had deliberately murdered Xu Chenyang and destroyed his soul.
The perpetrator acted very cleanly, and she couldn't find any clues for the time being.
This incident alerted Chu Yu. To prevent being harmed by the mastermind behind the scenes, Chu Yu entrusted the Taoist Association to investigate in detail and also reminded Fu Yunche to be more vigilant in the coming days.
Besides this incident, Fu Zishuo's condition is also not optimistic. Although his soul has returned to its place and his body is fine, he remains unconscious.
This worried Fu Yunche greatly, and in order not to worry the old lady, he kept the matter a secret.
Chu Yu was also puzzled and at her wit's end, when she suddenly thought of her master, Daoist Changfeng.
Initially, it was her master who sold the longevity lock to Old Master Fu and had Old Master Fu place an order on the Underworld Group for her to deliver. On the very night she made the delivery, Fu Zishuo had an accident.
It's possible that Master had foreseen this calamity for Fu Zishuo, and he might have a way to deal with it.
Having figured this out, Chu Yu hurriedly returned to the courtyard house where Jiang Huai'an lived, went to her room, opened the cabinet, and found the incense that her master had given her before.
The master said that whenever she needed to, she could dream of him by lighting incense. She had lit one stick before and had two left.
Chu Yu took out an incense stick, lit it, and lay down on the bed. A fragrance wafted over, and her eyelids grew heavy. She quickly fell asleep.
When Chu Yu opened her eyes again, she found herself standing at a crossroads. The surrounding light was dim, and countless ghosts floated in the air. Not far away was a bustling street, where ghosts came and went, creating a lively atmosphere.
Looking at this familiar surroundings, Chu Yu frowned slightly. Wasn't this a ghost town? How did she end up here?
I dreamt of my master twice before, and he was fishing in the woods. Why did he come to the ghost town this time? Did I go to the wrong place?
