"Yes, yes. Our agency's purpose is to find the most desirable and suitable property for our clients. We have all kinds of properties."

Ye Xiao was invited back in.

The other person poured him a cup of tea and placed a tablet in front of him.

“Here is a detailed description of the rental properties, including room type, location, transportation, rental price, etc.”

Ye Xiao went straight to the house in the suburbs and flipped through a few pages. The prices of small rooms basically ranged from six hundred to eight hundred, but the rooms were too small and did not suit his needs.

He needed a bigger room that could shield him from the strange phenomena that occurred when he was integrating his skills. If the room was too small, it would not even be able to withstand the spiritual energy that burst out when he broke through, and the room would be directly shattered by then!

The room is a bit bigger, but the price is not very friendly.

However, as he was flipping through the pages, his eyes suddenly fell on one of the courtyards.

This small courtyard is located in a suburban village, standing alone on the side of the road. It is a two-story building that looks to be at least one hundred square meters.

The key point is its price, one hundred yuan a month.

“Is the price of this house real?”

Ye Xiao pointed at the house on the screen, and the account manager looked over with a smile.

"Which one?"

However, when he saw which set, his expression suddenly changed.

"Well, why don't you pick out a new one?"

"What's wrong with this set? Is it not okay?"

"It's not impossible, but this house is haunted."

Ye Xiao was stunned. As someone who read books every day, he naturally understood what the other party meant.

Ghosts do exist in this world.

But it is not the illusory ghost in the previous life, but a kind of spirit body formed after the death of humans or star beasts, which relies on mental power to attract and condense spiritual energy. Its attack method is also to use spiritual energy to attack.

However, although their formation is not very troublesome, solving them is not so simple.

If you want to kill ghosts, there are currently two relatively scientific methods.

One is that after reaching the level of Grand Master, one’s mastery of spiritual energy has reached an unparalleled level.

They can directly and forcefully manipulate it to clear out the surrounding spiritual energy and achieve a spiritual vacuum state.

If a spiritual body is not nourished by spiritual energy, it will perish in an instant.

The other type is to practice spiritual skills and be able to launch spiritual attacks.

This kind of people are called exorcists, but because spiritual skills are rare and difficult to practice, there are still not many of them even in a world where spiritual energy has been revived.

"Didn't the owner of the house hire someone to perform an exorcism?"

The account manager smiled helplessly.

"Why didn't they find it? We have hired many exorcists, but when they went in, they didn't find any ghosts and they all came out safe and sound. However, whenever a tenant went in, they would be scared out and say they saw a ghost. I heard that when you pass by at midnight, you can hear sinister laughter coming from inside.

Besides, this is just an ordinary house, and no one was killed. Even if you find a Grand Master, he won't care about this. Besides, it's not that easy to find a Grand Master, right?"

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment. His martial arts allowed him to launch attacks beyond his own level, so maybe he could deal with that guy.

One hundred a month, twelve hundred a year. I don’t live there on weekdays. I only go in to practice when I want to integrate my skills. It’s quite cost-effective.

If the other party has any doubts, you can just say that you didn't encounter a ghost and maybe the ghost left.

Perfect.

“I rented it.”

Ye Xiao took out twelve thousand yuan from his pocket and slapped it on the table.

The account manager was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, why don't you change one? It's not worth dying here just to save a little rent money."

Ye Xiao is so young, there is no way he can be a grandmaster. Even if he is an exorcist, it is impossible for him to have a deep level of cultivation.

"No need, I'll rent this house."

"Then let me make it clear first, if anything goes wrong, we will not be responsible."

The contract was signed quickly. Ye Xiao took the key and found the house according to the address.

Maybe because no one has lived here for a long time, there is some dust and spider webs on the door.

Ye Xiao opened the door, and with a creaky sound, he walked into the yard.

He released his spiritual energy, which spread to every corner of the house, but he found nothing.

Then he began to enter the main hall and check the rooms.

Just as he entered the main hall, the iron gate in the yard closed silently and automatically. Ye Xiao checked the first floor and found that the furniture was relatively new to him.

However, in the corner of the sofa, he found a pure black, curly hair without a trace of impurities.

Those were hairs that had fallen off not long ago, and were not something a spirit would have.

This made Ye Xiao narrow his eyes slightly.

He pretended not to notice and continued walking towards the second floor.

The second floor is also very clean compared to the first floor.

But there are obviously more traces of life.

Just as he was about to go to the master bedroom, the light on the entire second floor suddenly dimmed, as if it was blocked by something.

Bright red blood gradually began to appear on the surrounding walls, and some strange noises and laughter gradually reached Ye Xiao's ears.

Ye Xiao put his hands behind his back with a calm expression on his face. He did not take these strange phenomena too seriously.

"Come out, hiding is boring."

Soon, a female ghost wearing a blood-red dress and with long hair draped over her shoulders slowly appeared not far in front of him.

"You are so brave to rent this house. Don't you know that there is a ghost in this house?"

"Know."

"You still dare to come knowing this? Are you an exorcist?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"So you are the Grand Master?"

Ye Xiao shook his head again.

"Humph! You are neither an exorcist nor a grandmaster, yet you dare to come here? Are you tired of living?"

Ye Xiao's expression was still as indifferent as before, but his right hand had been slowly pulled back from behind his back and was hanging vertically at his side.

"I'm not an exorcist, nor a grandmaster, but I have a knife that I'd like you to taste."

"Ha ha ha ha.."

The female ghost let out a wild laugh, like the sound coming from a thirsty throat, sharp and piercing.

"I think you are out of your mind! I am a spirit, and you think you can deal with me with just your sword skills? Who do you think you are?

Well, since you came here yourself today, you can’t blame me.

It just so happens that I haven’t tasted human blood for a long time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from her body, blowing up her red skirt, making it look even more eerie and terrifying, and it slowly floated towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao did not say any more nonsense, but just raised his hand slightly, and a domineering sword intent that made people's heart palpitate to the extreme suddenly appeared, instantly covering the entire room.

That overwhelming sword intent seemed to be able to cut through everything and crush everything within the area into slag.

The female ghost, who was extremely arrogant and wanted to attack Ye Xiao, was three meters in front of Ye Xiao. Feeling the sword intent, she fell to her knees with a plop.

"Senior, please speak politely if you have anything to say. It's uncivilized to brandish swords and knives!"
