Chapter 1248 The Returnee's Notes 322
"Do you know him?" Wang Ze asked, holding three incense sticks in his hand, his gaze shifting back and forth between Teacher Gao and Granny Yu.
Xie Ning also looked over.
In the instant the two were distracted, Wu Xiaochun, who was standing inside the red rope circle, raised her hand, and wisps of black energy swirled around her. Wu Yaozu, who was next to Xie Ning, also gradually turned red in the eyes, and then slowly lowered his head.
"He is also my student."
Teacher Gao sighed, "He just accidentally fell off a cliff nine years ago and died."
He still remembered the child; he was a bright and clever boy. Like most families in this remote mountain area, the Wu family favored sons over daughters, as could be seen from the name Wu Yaozu.
However, Wu Yaozu was quite handsome back then, and he respected and liked his older sister Wu Xiaochun more than other boys, so the siblings had a good relationship.
He had visited the Wu family home and felt that two upright young flowers had grown out of a dysfunctional family. Although he didn't know if these two young flowers would be tainted by other colors in the future, at that time, they were pure and innocent.
Wu Yaozu's death occurred around the same time as Wu Xiaochun's marriage, and it was only then that Teacher Gao realized there might be a connection.
Why... did Wu Xiaochun suddenly agree to get married? Did something happen at that time?
"Ouch!"
Wang Ze cried out in surprise, and the others then noticed that the red rope ring had been burned with a hole. Wu Xiaochun suddenly pounced on Xie Ning, but when Xie Ning drew his sword to counterattack, he realized that the other party had only made a feint and instead grabbed Wu Yaozu and ran away.
"That was a really fast escape!"
Wang Ze muttered to himself as he picked up his bag to chase after her. Just as he looked up, he saw that Xie Ning had already run quite a distance, with a small cat following behind her, almost blending into the night.
"Wait for me!"
Wang Zegang ran to the door but then stopped abruptly. "You all stay here and don't run around."
Then he took a bell out of his bag and tied it to the doorknob, saying, "Don't turn off the lights, wait until it's light before you go out!"
This place is dangerous. I'm not afraid of anything at night, but I'm afraid of other ghosts coming. It's safer during the day.
Actually, it's dangerous for him to go out so late at night, but that's what they do, and they can't let the ghost run around and harm other people.
The fog was thick at night, and even though Xie Ning had good night vision, she still had to walk with a light on. After running for a while, she realized that she had been tricked again.
Wu Xiaochun may have some consciousness, but it's certainly not that strong, which means she's not powerful enough to break through that red rope.
Only ghosts over a hundred years old can be this powerful.
And just as Wu Xiaochun needed Teacher Gao's guidance to get from the Qiu family she married into to the school, she also needed someone or something as a medium to guide her to leave the school.
Otherwise, Wu Xiaochun would only be able to linger around, and the distance she was chasing was already more than 500 meters.
Although the compass in his hand was still spinning, indicating that the ghost was not far away, it was very likely a smokescreen.
They were all taken aback by Wu Xiaochun's sudden behavior. In addition, Teacher Gao and Grandma Yu both talked about Wu Xiaochun's past deeds, saying that he was a good child and a good student.
Wu Xiaochun stood blankly inside the red rope circle, his haggard and broken face making it unbearable to look at him a second time.
Then her sudden attack was a feint, so much so that Xie Ning and Wang Ze both thought that Wu Xiaochun had run away with Wu Yaozu.
Xie Ning rubbed his temples and picked up the black egg from the ground. "It's one thing for me to be fooled, but how did you, little thing, get fooled too?"
Black Egg remained silent, only swishing its tail as it jumped onto Xie Ning's shoulder.
