Chapter 969 The Returnee's Notes 43
Old Wang thought to himself, "Given Xie Ning's appearance, it would be good enough if Granny Xie could take good care of him. How could she dare to bring him out?"
However, Granny Xie's methods were also remarkable. She managed to raise a child who was destined to die young, which must have taken a lot of effort.
Of course, as a longtime friend, he wouldn't ask any further questions.
"Before, the child was too young and in poor health. Now, aren't we bringing him out?"
Old Wang could lie without batting an eye, and then he pulled Xie Ning along with a smile and said, "Come on, this is Huangshan. You can just call him Uncle Shan."
Xie Ning's gaze fell on the bald man with a ruddy complexion, and she lowered her eyes slightly, "Uncle Shan."
The old lady didn't talk much about the past, only occasionally mentioning Old Master Wang. As for the others, she said she wasn't familiar with them.
Seeing this, Huang Shan didn't ask any further questions, but simply handed Xie Ning a small gourd as a greeting gift.
However, she was also wondering why Old Lady Xie hadn't appeared for almost ten years, and it was Old Master Wang who was taking care of the child this time.
Glancing at his daughter grinning beside him, Huang Shan rubbed his forehead. The child was just a little immature, but she was quite talented. Huang Shan naturally couldn't bear to discipline her.
What I just said was just for show.
Old Wang knew this all too well, but since they were all in the same profession, there was no need to antagonize each other, even if their relationship wasn't deep. He just wanted to let the other party know that Xie Ning was not someone to be trifled with.
In this line of work, skill determines rank. Granny Xie is skilled, but that doesn't mean Xie Ning is capable. Xiao Li is one of the more skilled among the younger generation, which is why he has a somewhat eccentric personality.
But she is also very much like Huangshan; once she encounters a bad-tempered and formidable person, she quickly softens her stance.
"The room key has been delivered. This way, please." Assistant Lu greeted Huang Shan and the others before leading them upstairs.
The boss invited three parties in total, with Wang Laodao's side having the most people, since Wang Laodao was the main leader in this matter.
As for the fact that Master Wang brought a child along, Assistant Lu didn't say much. His job was simply to arrange things for these people and complete the tasks assigned by his boss, not to worry about whether the child should get involved in such matters.
The hotel's decor was luxurious, befitting a five-star hotel, and the rooms were equally luxurious, offering a higher level of comfort than the hotel Wang Heng had booked.
As soon as Xie Ning entered the room, she habitually took off a red string and tied it to the doorknob inside the room.
When she first entered the hotel, she noticed its design and layout, which was better than most hotels, or at least cleaner. She didn't see any ghosts as she walked to her room.
Even looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can still see some unconscious, drifting spirits.
These are all normal; they are not on the same track as humans. Only some lost ghosts might collide with humans.
"Beep beep—"
Wang Heng: We're going to dinner at 6 p.m. Remember to wash up before then.
Xie Ning replied, and then went to wash up. After drying her hair, she could read for a while and probably finish three more practice papers.
When we get back, we'll buy some simple experimental equipment to practice. Instead of just reading books and imagining things, it's better to do an experiment.
In the next room, Old Wang was talking to Wang Youyang on the phone. At this time, Wang Youyang had one eye wrapped in gauze and several wounds on his body, but he didn't care much, after all, he had escaped with his life.
“Master, that mountain… let’s not go any further. One of us died before we even got deep enough, so we’re too scared to go any further. We only managed to take some photos, which is still a decent result. Did you see anything?”
Old Wang adjusted his reading glasses, silently calculating the location and some special points in the photos sent by Wang Youyang. He sighed inwardly, actually unsure whether to go into the mountains or not.
When the client explained the ghost's identity, they sent people to the mountains to perform a ritual, since the ghost's body was buried there. However, before they even reached the designated location, one of the people died.
One of the guards inside the house also died, which made them take it even more seriously.
