Li Feibai acquired a property worth millions for only tens of thousands of yuan. Everyone knows there's something wrong with the house—it's a haunted house!
It's a pity that there are too few people who actually know the truth.
Lin Jingting remained silent for a while before speaking, "I can promise to help you deal with your unfaithful boyfriend, but you have to promise to move out of this house." Having such a powerful figure standing here is greatly affecting his cultivation.
Chu Nian replied, "Don't even think about it." This was the same answer Lin Jingting gave to her regarding the conditions she had proposed.
Lin Jingting: "Don't you want to get revenge on him?"
Chu Nian: "Compared to the hand that wields the knife, I hate your knife too!"
The original owner was killed by a ghost, and her wish was to take revenge. What could Chu Nian do? If it weren't for the original owner's wish, Chu Nian really wouldn't want to face off against a master like Lin Jingting—who was stronger than her. It was only because she was a living person in the mortal world that the two sides were able to maintain this stalemate where neither side made a move.
Lin Jingting understood that Chu Nian's words implied that Li Feibai wanted to use him to get rid of Bai Nian, essentially using someone else to do his dirty work. He said, "Although he's planning to use me as a tool, but..."
"But what?" Chu Nian asked curiously when she heard him hesitate.
Lin Jingting: "It's nothing." After a pause, she added, "Let me in."
Chu Nian: "Don't even think about it."
Lin Jingting: "I have something to tell you."
Chu Nian: "It's the same as saying that."
Lin Jingting: "Why are you so wary of me? With your abilities, you don't need to be so defensive."
Chu Nian: "You men are all too shameless and insidious. I'd better take all necessary precautions to be on the safe side."
Lin Jingting: "Not every man is like your boyfriend."
Chu Nian simply chuckled in response to his words.
Lin Jingting: "I just want to ask you, you said you awakened your past life's abilities and some memories, could you tell me about your past life?"
Chu Nian remained silent: You actually believed a lie I made up!
Lin Jingting: "In your past life, which dynasty did you live in? What kind of people did you meet? What kind of magic did you practice? Besides feng shui, what else did you learn?"
Chu Nian suddenly realized, "So you've come to probe my background."
"No," Lin Jingting quickly said, "I just wanted to... wanted to... wanted to know more about you."
Chu Nian: "Is that different? Or are you trying to probe my background?"
Lin Jingting: "No...it's not quite the same!"
Chu Nian was too lazy to deal with this guy anymore. She went to the study, sat down at the computer desk, and started fiddling with the computer on the desk.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jingting followed them to the window on this side.
Sensing the energy fluctuations, Chu Nian said helplessly, "Do you know how impolite it is to keep loitering around in front of other people's windows all day long?"
Lin Jingting: "I just want to know what things from your past life you remembered."
Chu Nian: "Does this have anything to do with you?" He suddenly remembered that his love with the female lead originated from the love affair between Lin Jingting and an ancient woman a thousand years ago.
A thought struck her, and she said, "You don't think we had any karmic entanglement in a past life, do you? Please don't overthink it, we have absolutely no relationship!"
Lin Jingting fell silent.
While they were talking, Chu Nian had already disassembled the original owner's computer. It was just a very ordinary computer, even a product from several years ago, and many of its hardware components made Chu Nian feel that it was outdated.
She used the original owner's savings to mail order a bunch of high-tech mobile phone and computer hardware components.
Even with her expert skills, more than an hour had passed by the time she finished this operation, and she found that Lin Jingting was still outside.
In fact, with Chu Nian's mental protective shield, it would be difficult for Lin Jingting to find out the details of the room. At most, he could only find out that Chu Nian was in the room.
Chu Nian was puzzled about what this person was trying to do. With his abilities, he should be able to sense that he and Chu Nian were roughly equal in strength, and that a battle would only result in mutual destruction.
In Chu Nian's opinion, the best situation for both of them right now is to keep to themselves and ignore each other. But what's with this guy waiting outside her window?
Chu Nian realized that Lin Jingting had already obtained all the information before the original owner moved in.
The original owner of this body and the female lead, Chen Qingqing, shared a common trait: they were born on the same day, month, and year. This shared birth date is what made them best friends. What truly impressed Lin Jingting about Chen Qingqing was her unique birth chart.
Could it be that Lin Jingting's suspicion of her stems from their similar birth dates and times? Chu Nian wondered.
However, the birth chart (or birth date and time) includes not only the year, month, and day of birth, but also the hour. It is said that two people born before and after the rooster crow will have completely different destinies. Therefore, even Bai Nian and Chen Qingqing, who were born on the same day, month, and year, will have different destinies because of their different birth times.
Chu Nian was certain that this physical body and the female lead were definitely not meant to be. Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have been killed by a little ghost a week after moving in, while the female lead would have become the little darling that this ghost immortal longed for.
Chu Nian didn't want Lin Jingting to misunderstand and cause any trouble. She got up and went to the window, saying, "I know another girl whose birth date and time are extremely similar to mine. The person you're looking for might be her."
Lin Jingting asked in surprise, "How did you know I was looking for someone? And how did you know that the person I'm looking for has a similar birth date and time to you?"
Chu Nian: "Why are you asking so many questions?" After saying that, she went to the bathroom, quickly washed up, changed into a bright and fashionable outfit, picked up her bag, and went out.
She went directly to the office building where Li Feibai's company was located and knocked on Chen Qingqing's office door.
She knew Lin Jingting had been following her. Since this ghost called himself a ghost immortal, in addition to the abilities of a ghost, he naturally also had some immortal abilities. He had cultivated for thousands of years and was not like those ghosts who had not cultivated and only relied on their malevolent energy to take form, who were afraid of sunlight.
So, upon entering the office and seeing Chen Qingqing, she used her mental power to transmit her thoughts to Lin Jingting: "This woman is named Chen Qingqing. She was born on the same day as me. Judging from her birth chart, she should be the person you are looking for."
Lin Jingting replied helplessly via telepathy, "Did I say I was looking for someone?"
For him, the most important thing has always been spiritual cultivation. Finding people is just a side effect; it would be best if he could find them, but he wouldn't force it if he couldn't. Having cultivated to his level, he has a very open-minded view of some things.
He simply felt there were many strange things about Bai Nian, which reminded him of an old friend. Birth date and time do have some connection, but they don't represent everything.
Chu Nian: "Then why have you been following me?"
At this moment, Chen Qingqing saw that it was her who came in, and quickly got up to greet her with a smile, saying, "Niannian, you're back? That's great! I heard from Feibai that you were making a fuss about quitting your job, and I've been worried about you!"
