Chapter 45: Jinjiang Solo



No matter what Gu Anping was imagining, Xiang Yan, Bai Jing and the others got out of the car and walked a short distance before arriving at Xiang Yan's doorstep.

Stopping and standing at the door, Xiang Yan turned around and looked at Bai Jing. His originally cold eyebrows and eyes seemed to be filled with tenderness and reluctance under the faint moonlight. "Thank you so much for tonight. I'll live here, and you can come and play when you have time."

Xiang Yan paused, then asked, "Well, where do you live now?"

"I just arrived in Xuzhou and am currently staying at the hotel at the intersection ahead." Bai Jing replied in a brisk tone. His expression was no longer the serious and alert one he had at the ghost market. Instead, his face returned to the sunny and bright look he had when he first met Xiang Yan and the others. "I plan to go see if there is a suitable house in the next two days."

Hearing that Bai Jing was only living in a hotel and hadn't found a house yet, Xiang Yan's eyes lit up slightly and suggested, "It seems that the place next to our house is for rent. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Okay." Bai Jing nodded, "But it's a little late today. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiang Yan nodded with a smile on his face.

"Then...see you tomorrow." Bai Jingzhao waved to Yan and said goodbye.

"See you tomorrow!" Xiang Yan raised his hand and waved at Bai Jing who walked a few steps away.

Xiang Yan stared at Bai Jing's gradually receding back, and only withdrew his gaze reluctantly when his figure disappeared into the darkness.

[That's great. When Bai Jing moves in next door to us, we can openly learn those ghost-controlling talismans.] Xiang Yan happily said to the system in his heart. He spent too much effort to make Bai Jing meet them normally. Fortunately, everything is developing in a good direction now.

[Yes, dear.] The system also responded happily: [Now that Bai Jing, a disciple of Kunlun Yunzong, is here, you and your brothers and sisters can also have a reason to learn those talisman techniques.]

Xiang Yan had no shortage of ways to catch and control ghosts. In addition to the two shells of Bai Jing and Yi Yuan, he also exchanged energy points for many things from the system.

But there is no reason for Xiang Yan, an ordinary person who has lived for more than ten years, to come up with those things.

Ihara's identity as the elusive ghost messenger is also not suitable.

The only one left was Bai Jing, a Yun Sect disciple who was born into an orthodox Taoist family.

That's why Xiang Yan spent so much energy to act out an acquaintance scene with Bai Jing and let the two of them quickly become good friends.

Since they are friends, then it wouldn't be too much for Bai Jing to teach Xiang Yan and the others some self-protection capabilities against ghosts, right?

Xiang Yan felt that his method was very good. Although there were some unexpected events in today's process, Xiang Yan was still quite satisfied with the final result.

The more satisfied Xiang Yan was, the brighter his eyes became when he looked in the direction where Bai Jing left.

“…”

“…”

Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi looked at their brother's reluctant and shining eyes, and looked at each other, seeing the pain in each other's eyes.

[Could it be that my brother was seduced by someone he just met for the first time?] Xiang Yin was extremely shocked.

[Wasn't it my brother who lured her here?] Xiang Shi thought about Bai Jing's caring attitude towards Xiang Yan, and felt that his brother was too charming and bewitched her.

[……] Xiang Yin stared at Xiang Shi silently, [Is there any difference?]

[?] Xiang Shi tilted his head in confusion, [Don’t you care about the difference between superior and inferior?]

Xiang Shi had overheard Xiang Yin and her friend chatting before. At that time, they seemed to be arguing about the ups and downs of characters in a book.

At that time, the two of them were arguing with each other until they were red in the face, it was very intense.

Xiang Yin: Stare——

Xiang Shi: (Not willing to be outdone) Staring back——

So, when Xiang Yan came to his senses and turned to look at his younger brother and sister, he saw the two of them staring at each other as if they were competing with each other.

"Pfft..." Xiang Yan couldn't help laughing, then raised his hand to rub Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi's furry heads, "What are you two doing?"

“…”

Looking at their brother who was completely out of shape, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi suddenly seemed deflated, with dejected expressions on their faces.

"Brother, we are fine." Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi waved their hands at the same time, indicating that they were fine, then raised their legs, opened the door and walked into the house.

"?" Xiang Yan looked at the two siblings walking in front of him in confusion.

"Hmm..." Touching his chin, Xiang Yan guessed: "Maybe I'm too tired today?"

After all, I first visited the painting exhibition for an afternoon, and then stayed in the ghost market for a while, so it was normal to feel tired.

Xiang Yan felt that his guess was quite accurate. He nodded to himself and walked in.

After eating something, Xiang Yan packed up and walked into the room, then lay down on his bed with a relaxed look on his face.

After staring blankly at the blank ceiling for a while, Xiang Yan suddenly stood up and sat up.

[System.] Xiang Yan shouted in his heart.

[Hey, I'm here, what's wrong?] The system responded quickly, but Xiang Yan felt that there was a hint of... excitement in the system's voice?

[……] Xiang Yan paused for a second before saying suspiciously: [System, are you… in a good mood?]

[But... maybe it's because I got too much energy in the mirror maze this time. I'm a little happy, ha... haha.]

[……] Xiang Yan listened to the system's words and narrowed his eyes slightly, [Is that so?]

[Yes... yes.] The system said as it secretly hid the winnings it had just won from playing cards a little deeper.

Yes, the system plays cards too.

After all, the system is useless except when the host needs it. In order to avoid boredom, a system-specific card-playing machine was invented among the systems.

With this card machine, systems in different worlds can be connected and play together.

Xiang Yan's system has recently become obsessed with this card-playing machine, and he has been indulging in playing cards to make money all day long.

So, while Xiang Yan went home to eat and rest, the system went online and played two games with a few of his friends, and won a lot of things, making the system very happy.

However, playing cards is just a pastime, and the system has not forgotten its main business.

[Dear, what do you want to talk to me about?] the system asked.

[……] Xiang Yan also knew that he could not get anything out of it, so he also talked about what he was about to ask the system, [Please give me the hypnosis report about me.]

The system was so busy clearing the mirror maze that it almost forgot to take a closer look at the hypnosis report.

Xiang Yan also had some guesses about what happened in his childhood. He also knew why his parents hypnotized him and made him forget about it. After all, that kind of thing would really be a psychological trauma for a child.

But Xiang Yan still wanted to remember it, after all, that might be the reason why he was afraid of ghosts...
