Ji Heng rushed over and caught the man who was about to fall to the ground.
"Hey! What's going on?"
Lu Zi'ang was dizzy and unable to speak.
"Ouch! You're so cold, I'm freezing!" Ji Heng shivered, as if he were hugging a huge block of ice.
A chilling aura rushed into his body, and he couldn't take it anymore. "Boss, help!"
Lin Xi gathered her spiritual energy at her fingertips and pressed it firmly against the man's forehead.
A warm current flowed into his body, and Lu Ziang slowly woke up, opening his eyes.
He recognized the person beside him and exclaimed in surprise, "You are... Ji Heng?!"
Ji Heng looked completely bewildered. "Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Lu Ziang smiled wryly, "We played basketball together, don't you remember?"
Ji Heng remembered; they were high school classmates. No wonder the name sounded so familiar.
Lu Ziang was a sports student, proficient in basketball, running, and swimming.
The two used to meet up at the basketball court often.
He's a complete klutz when it comes to sports; he's only good for getting beaten up.
Ji Heng looked at his former basketball buddy, "Lu Ziang, what happened to you after two years? You look like a corpse lying on the ground."
The young master's mouth was as sharp as ever, and Lu Ziang was too weak to refute him. He sighed deeply, "Alas... this is a long story."
He gripped Ji Heng's hand tightly, pleading, "Save me, Master, please save me!"
Ji Heng slapped his hand away and quickly introduced, "I am not the master, this is the master."
Lu Ziang looked at the woman on his right, a young and pretty girl.
Wow, she's even more beautiful than a female ghost.
Ugh! What's he thinking at a time like this?!
Ji Heng resorted to his usual rhetoric, "The renowned Master Lin of the capital, the sole owner of the Divine Calculation Hall, whose words can decide the fate of the world and whose punch can send ghosts flying, recently went to save the world..."
Lu Zi'ang was filled with awe and utmost respect, wishing he could slap himself to death.
What a sin! He actually compared Master Lin to a female ghost just now; he deserves to die!
Lu Ziang bowed deeply, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life."
Lin Xi glanced at him. "Your whole body is emanating ghostly energy, and your yang energy is severely insufficient. What did you do with the ghost?"
Lu Zi'ang's face froze, and he stammered, "Master, I...I'm innocent! I don't know the female ghost, I have no grudge against her, I don't know why this happened...Waaah!"
He grabbed the person next to him and burst into tears.
Ji Heng felt even colder and quickly pushed him away, saying, "It's so cold, stay away from me."
Lu Ziang lost his balance and fell to the ground. He didn't care about anything else and immediately got up. "Master, you must save me."
Lin Xi glanced at him again, seeing for the first time how heavy the yin energy was on a living person.
It exudes a sinister aura from the inside out, and standing there it is no different from a ghost.
This means that he spent a very, very long time with the ghost.
Lu Zi'ang, however, said he didn't know the female ghost, which was really strange.
Lin Xi asked, "Please provide your birth time and date of birth."
Lu Zi'ang honestly recited a few numbers, "Master, is there something wrong with my birth chart?"
Lin Xi calculated with her fingers, "An ordinary person's birth chart doesn't indicate great wealth or high status, but it also doesn't mean they'll end up homeless. Right now, your yang energy is extremely weak, and you're about to die."
Lu Zi'ang's heart tightened. "Master, I'm only twenty-three years old. I don't want to die, sob sob sob..."
"Don't cry," Lin Xi asked. "Is there a ghost in your house?"
Lu Ziang sniffled, not daring to cry out loud, "Master, I've seen her once, but I didn't see her face clearly."
Lin Xi stared into his eyes. "Really?"
Lu Ziang suddenly felt a little guilty. "Master, I don't know if that's what a ghost really looks like. I promise I absolutely don't recognize the female ghost!"
Lin Xi looked away.
This person wasn't lying, but was trying hard to hide something.
What are you hiding when you're about to lose your life?
Lin Xi said calmly, "It's like a ghost possessing objects. What strange things do you have in your house?"
“I… Master, I…” Lu Zi’ang stammered, hesitating to speak.
With so many elderly people and former classmates present, saying those kinds of things would be so embarrassing, it's better to be dead.
Lu Ziang kept trembling.
Ji Heng thought he was scared, so he gently comforted him, "It's okay. If the female ghost really wants to harm you, the big boss will take her away. Be bold and speak up. You're about to lose your life, what are you afraid of?"
Lu Zi'ang was extremely conflicted.
We talked about the death of society, but not the death of individuals.
Oh no! What should I do?
He thought for a few seconds, then explained the situation tactfully, "Master, a female ghost possessed my doll, and then... um..."
Lin Xi didn't understand. What was wrong with talking about this?
Everyone has their own preferences. It's perfectly normal for a young man to like fluffy dolls; there's nothing wrong with that.
Lin Xi explained, "Dolls are prone to attracting ghosts, especially human-shaped dolls. Demons and monsters like to live inside them, so don't put dolls on your bedside table, or you'll be scared to death at night."
"Ah, oh, um?" Lu Ziang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The master hadn't even thought of that level.
He didn't die, but he saved face.
Behind him, the elderly couple gave him a knowing smile, "Young man, is that a proper child?"
Lu Ziang squeezed his legs together, his heart leaping into his throat.
Oh no! I forgot about the mysterious group of elderly men and women!
He chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, that's not important."
The older men and women smiled even wider, saying, "Oh, I understand!"
Lu Ziang was internally devastated and shouted, "A normal doll! A legitimate doll! Please don't think such things!!"
Ji Heng asked in confusion, "Why are you so excited?!"
He enjoys collecting figurines and has set aside a house specifically to house all sorts of them.
Lu Zi'ang likes dolls. Although his hobby is niche, it is perfectly normal and should be respected and understood.
Ji Heng guessed, "Is that doll different from others?"
Lu Zi'ang broke out in a cold sweat. "Please, please stop asking."
Ji Heng lectured, word by word, "You must be honest in front of the big boss. You can't overlook any detail. We don't welcome dishonest people... Hmm?"
Qian Fugui covered his mouth, "Xiao Hengzi, come here!"
Ji Heng pushed his hand away. "What are you doing?"
Qian Fugui whispered a few words in his ear, "Ahem... I understand, Master is a young girl, let's skip this part."
Ji Heng was shocked, his face contorted in disbelief, and the way he looked at Lu Zi'ang instantly changed.
The doll possessed by a female ghost... doesn't that mean Lu Ziang is connected to a female ghost...?
Holy crap! This is an eye-opener today!!
A barrage of intense gazes fell upon him, and Lu Ziang felt like he wanted to die, but in the end, he was discovered.
Aside from the undisputed masters, everyone knows about it!
Lu Zi'ang, having nothing to lose, took the initiative to explain, "Master, this is what happened. That night, I was changing the doll's clothes, and it suddenly came to life. I had an unforgettable night..."
