Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Are you here to destroy our master?
Seeing Qin Fang coming over with a lunch box and snacks, Su Liang's mood instantly improved, and that resentful face turned into a cold one.
Xu Lin was speechless when she saw Su Liang's changed expression. How could the eldest son of the Su family be so easy to please? Did the Su family know this?
Do those forces following the Su family know?
I wonder how they would feel if they knew that the young master they would follow in the future is so worthless.
Unable to bear watching, Xu Lin decisively withdrew her mental strength and returned to her room. After running around outside for a whole day, Xu Lin decided to have a good sleep.
Not long after Xu Lin returned to her room, Han Hong returned to the Youth League compound with a small bag of rice.
He delivered the rice to Wu Siyu and had dinner there before leaving.
No one noticed the whole process.
In the middle of the night, Xu Lin heard some noise in the yard and quietly observed the situation.
Then Ning Xiaodong was seen jumping out of the Youth League Courtyard and heading towards the West Mountain. Then Qin Fang was seen jumping out of the Youth League Courtyard and also heading towards the West Mountain.
Xu Lin thought about it and followed decisively to see if the two were traveling together.
After this tracking, Xu Lin realized that she was overthinking it. Qin Fang had no idea that Ning Xiaodong was in front of her.
Moreover, the two people were heading in different directions. Ning Xiaodong plunged into the West Mountain and ran deeper into the mountains without stopping.
Qin Fang, on the other hand, was walking around the mountains with something like a compass, looking like he was treasure hunting.
Could it be that she really came here for the Xu family's treasure?
But wasn’t the treasure kept by myself?
Xu Lin was a little confused, so she withdrew her mental power and began to observe the situation around her.
Xu Lin prepared to use the Qi-gazing technique to check if there was any precious aura around.
Although she didn't know the clue to the treasure, she could start looking for it by observing the concentration of the treasure's aura.
However, to Xu Lin's disappointment, she did not see any precious aura. No, she only saw a few faint traces of precious aura.
Xu Lin knew without even going to dig that there wouldn't be many treasures there. Maybe they were some old items hidden by the villagers.
That little treasure had no appeal to Xu Lin.
"Xiao Qi, based on the data, it should be in this area. Why can't we find it?"
Qin Fang asked without giving up, looking around with the compass in hand.
"How do I know? But there's something wrong with the magnetic field over there. Walk over there. Only when you're close enough can I sense what's going on."
The system pointed in a direction and Qin Fang walked over immediately.
When Xu Lin heard that the magnetic field was wrong, she immediately perked up. She stopped using the qi-gazing technique and began to look at the terrain around her.
Suddenly, Qin Fang's screams were heard in the woods. Xu Lin looked up and saw Qin Fang throwing away the compass in her hand, turning around and running away screaming.
However, she ran around in circles as if she had encountered a mysterious wall, and she was unaware of it.
A mysterious wall? Xu Lin narrowed her eyes and approached quietly. As she approached, her expression became serious.
Qin Fang didn't just seem to be stuck in a maze, she really was stuck in a maze.
But the ghost had no ill intentions and was teasing Qin Fang like a naughty child.
From time to time, he pulled Qin Fang's hair, pinched her palm, and pulled her sleeve, which scared Qin Fang so much that she screamed.
Qin Fang screamed while calling the system, but unfortunately her system pretended to be dead and did not respond at all.
Curious Xu Lin leaned against a big tree nearby to watch the excitement, but had no intention of going forward to help.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew behind Xu Lin's ears. Xu Lin turned back calmly to check.
Seeing this, Xu Lin secretly exclaimed, "What a good fellow!" She saw a female ghost with seven spirits and bleeding was blowing air into her ears.
When the female ghost saw Xu Lin turning around, she screamed in fear and stepped back several meters. That was not the reaction a ghost should have.
Female ghost: ...How should a ghost react?
"Aren't you afraid?" The ghost tilted her head and looked at Xu Lin. Her bloody eyes suddenly widened. "No, you can actually see me?"
Good fellow, the ghost distanced herself again, and looked at Xu Lin with caution and curiosity, "Why can you see me?"
"Is it difficult to see you?" Xu Lin leaned lazily against the tree trunk, looking up and down at the female ghost.
The female ghost looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, a pretty girl from a small family.
She was wearing a coarse cloth shirt and ordinary cloth shoes with no embroidery or grass.
From her clothes and appearance, we can tell that the female ghost’s living conditions were not good when she was alive, and she doesn’t look like an ancient ghost.
Xu Lin calculated with his fingers and concluded that the female ghost died in 1945, which was thirty years ago.
If he were still alive, he would be considered an elderly now. If he were married and had children, he would be at an age where he would be surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
"Can you really see me? Who are you? Are you here to destroy our Master?"
The female ghost retreated again in fear, hesitating whether to escape, but for some reason, she didn't want to leave just like that.
"Will you really destroy us? In a way that would scare us to death?"
"Why should I kill you?" Xu Lin became interested. "Does anyone want to kill you?"
"Yes, someone invited a master to perform a ritual to kill us, but we scared him away."
The female ghost was very simple-minded. Seeing that Xu Lin didn't look like she was going to take action, she floated forward a few meters and looked at Xu Lin curiously.
"You don't look like a master, how come you can see me?"
Seeing that the female ghost was very persistent about this question, Xu Lin smiled and said, "I have Yin-Yang eyes, so I can naturally see you.
Can you tell me why you don't go to the underworld to be reincarnated?"
"You have Yin-Yang eyes, so you must be a master," the ghost floated away again, "You really won't destroy us?"
"No, I have no grudge against you, so I will not destroy you.
And if you can tell me why you don’t reincarnate, maybe I can help you to transcend.”
Xu Lin leaned his head against the tree trunk, looking somewhat rogue and harmless.
The ghost girl's eyes lit up when she heard about the word "exorcism". She was so excited that she took a few steps forward. When she reached a distance she thought was safe, she asked:
“Can you really help us transcend?
Woohoo, it’s not that we don’t want to reincarnate, but we are trapped here on purpose and prevented from reincarnating.
Although we are ghosts, we have never harmed anyone. Please, help us to transcend. We want to be reincarnated."
As the female ghost spoke, she began to sob. Two streams of blood flowed down from the corners of her eyes, making her look even more sinister.
It was thanks to Xu Lin's extensive experience that she was not frightened and had the patience to talk to the female ghost.
"Don't cry. I can see that you have no sins. Can you tell me what happened back then?"
Xu Lin's voice had a soothing power that was also effective on ghosts, so the female ghost gradually stopped crying.
Talking about what happened that year, the female ghost felt aggrieved, helpless and even angry.
But her anger did not destroy her reason, so she did not turn into a vicious ghost to take revenge on her enemies and society.
