Lin Dan stayed in Qingyuan Mountain for three days and three nights. The ghost fire in Yongxue also burned for three days and three nights, burning the corpse-eating Gu King from blue-purple to golden-purple. When she came down the mountain, her new home had been arranged. Coincidentally, it was just opposite the Gao family's old house. It was an absurdly expensive townhouse with two large gardens in front and back and a swimming pool. The market value was at least tens of millions.
Mayor Xu also put a lot of effort into winning over Lin Dan.
Lin Dan didn't care much about where she lived. Being able to shelter from the wind and rain was enough for her. The interesting thing was the card Mayor Xu gave her. With this card, she could freely use precious medicinal materials from major pharmacies without having to save money to buy them.
When she got home, she saw Yu's father and mother standing outside the closed iron gate, talking on the intercom: "Ye Ying, please let us in. We just want to see if you are doing well."
"You want to see this mansion, right? Let me tell you, the house belongs to Lin Dan. Don't have any bad ideas, otherwise I will make you die without knowing how!" Yu Yeying's cold voice came from the microphone.
"Lin Dan is an orphan. How will she live in the future without her parents' care? You should go home. Mom and Dad have decided to remarry. Mom and Dad will take care of you." Yu's mother said while wiping her tears.
"It seems that you really want to die." Yu Yeying sneered.
Lin Dan said goodbye to the government staff and walked over slowly. Yu's father and mother came over immediately with very affectionate expressions, but she ignored them. She said into the intercom, "Ye Ying, I'm back. I'll come in by myself. Don't open the door." Then she jumped over the three-meter-high iron gate with a tiptoe and landed lightly on the other side.
Yu's father and mother were stunned, but Yu Yeying smiled and dialed the security guard's number. She had long since given up wanting such parents. If she hadn't been worried about Lin Dan and wanted to divert her anxiety, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them.
"Lin Dan, go take a shower quickly. I've already prepared dinner. Eat before you go to sleep." She walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, with a snow-white puppy following at her feet. The dining table was piled high with dishes, and every dish was beautiful, which showed that Yu Yeying had put a lot of thought into her cooking skills.
"Great job." Lin Dan praised sincerely.
Yu Yeying pursed her lips and smiled, with a gleam of happiness in her eyes. At this moment, the doorbell rang again, and an old but very respectful voice came from the intercom: "Excuse me, is this Master Lin's home? I am Gao Xuehai, Gao Shukai's grandfather. I know you are coming back today, so I came to visit you specially. Please give me some convenience."
Yu Yeying was about to refuse, but Lin Dan took the lead and pressed the button to open the door. "Grandpa Gao, please come in."
A few minutes later, Mr. Gao walked into the living room with the help of Gao Shukai. Gao Shukai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Dan sitting on the sofa safely and uninjured. The Gao family has always been a sponsor of the Haicheng Xuanmen. Their relationship with the people in the Xuanmen is closer than that with the government, so they naturally have channels to learn about Lin Dan's sudden appearance.
After learning from his grandson that Lin Dan had saved him, Mr. Gao thought about it and decided to ask for help. These days, the restrictions on his grandson have become very weak. When the negative energy of Qingyuan Mountain erupted, he was attacked by ghosts many times. Once, he almost fell from the roof and died.
Old Master Gao no longer dared to harbor any hope. He came to ask for help after hearing that Lin Dan had solved a problem that the entire Xuanmen could not solve.
"You are here for his fate, right?" Lin Dan asked straight to the point.
Mr. Gao's expression was shocked, but he didn't dare to respond rashly.
“Once the restriction is completely broken, he will be like Tang Monk’s meat in the eyes of demons and monsters, and everyone will want to take a bite.” When he said this, Lin Dan’s eyes lit up. Yes, Gao Shukai is a natural big cake, constantly attracting evil spirits, and she can devour the evil spirits to nourish the holy Gu. Isn’t this the best of both worlds? She doesn't have to run around to catch ghosts, she can eat her fill just by staying with Gao Shukai. In nature, this is called a symbiotic relationship.
While she was lost in thought, Mr. Gao spoke carefully: "Master, you are worthy of being called a master. You have seen it long ago. You are right. Shu Kai's fate is indeed very strange. After the ban is broken, he will face the danger of being devoured by demons and monsters at any time. Master, I would like to ask you to be his bodyguard. Is it okay? I am willing to pay you any amount of money."
Lin Dan already had an unlimited medical card, so naturally he didn't need any extra money. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I agree to your request. Gao Shukai will pay me the reward. You don't need to ask me about it. I can assure you that what he pays me must be what he can afford and will not endanger his life."
"What's the reward?" Mr. Gao was very curious.
Gao Shukai's cheeks flushed instantly, and he pretended to be impatient and said, "Grandpa, don't ask, this is a secret between Lin Dan and me! She won't hurt me, don't worry."
Indeed, Master Lin is grandson's classmate and has long seen his fate. If she wanted to harm him, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? Mr. Gao thought about it for a moment before he felt relieved. From then on, Gao Shukai was completely tied to Lin Dan. He would pick her up from school, buy her breakfast, send her off after school, and buy her midnight snacks. Whenever Lin Dan went to the toilet, he would stand at the door and wait patiently, then hand her a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Gradually, rumors about the two began to spread among classmates, and some said they saw Lin Dan and Gao Shukai kissing in a small woods behind the flower bed, and their actions were very blatant.
The head teacher couldn't sit still anymore, so he called Gao Shukai's parents and asked them to take care of their child.
"We have actually known about the relationship between Shukai and Lin Da...Lin Dan for a long time, and we have also cleared it up with the old man. We particularly support their relationship, and as long as it does not interfere with Lin Dan's studies, we are happy to see it happen." Father Gao said seriously.
Gao's mother nodded repeatedly, pleading, "Teacher, please don't separate them. Just turn a blind eye and let them be together, okay?"
The head teacher was almost pissed off by these two unreasonable parents. He could only hold his breath and persuade them, “Gao Shukai is not paying attention in class. He either lies down to sleep or stares at Lin Dan. This has a very bad influence on the class. As parents, shouldn’t you curb this tendency?”
"No need to contain him, it's good like this. If he leaves Lin Dan in this life, he won't be able to survive." Gao's father's face was full of helplessness. He originally had some doubts about Lin Dan's ability, until he saw her with his own eyes on Ghost Festival waving a flock of soul-killing butterflies to clear out the countless ghosts in the house, and then he was completely convinced. Before this, their family was nearly dragged into the underworld by hundreds of ghosts. He would never forget that horrific experience.
Looking across the entire country of China, there are no more than five mystics who are more powerful than Lin Dan, and each of these people is more arrogant than the other. If you ask them to protect a child 24 hours a day, they will beat you out immediately and blame you for humiliating their identities. Lin Dan is his son’s only lifeline, how dare Gao’s father and mother let go?
Gao's mother said bluntly: "Teacher, we don't care whether my son will have a promising future or not, as long as he is safe and sound. He is willing to be with Lin Dan, and we fully support it!"
The head teacher was completely convinced and spread his hands, saying, "If you parents don't care, it's useless for me to care. Forget it, just let them be."
From then on, Lin Dan and Gao Shukai became the only officially certified couple in Haicheng No. 1 Middle School. Gao Shukai was happy to be misunderstood by others, and Lin Dan was too lazy to explain. They were tied together like this for three years and gradually got used to each other's presence. Lin Dan's grades were very stable, but Gao Shukai made rapid progress. He was at the bottom of the class in his first year of high school, but was already at the top in his second year. He worked hard at the beginning of his third year and ranked second in the grade, which impressed all the teachers. In addition, he also actively exercised, learned various fighting skills, and tried hard not to become a burden to Lin Dan. If he can't deal with ghosts, can't he deal with a few ordinary people?
Yu Yeying and Fang Yi seemed to be competing. Today you ranked tenth in the grade, and tomorrow I will rank ninth, and then we will work together to deal with Gao Shukai. Fang Yi's parents were very pleased to see her going to school with great enthusiasm every day and being happily sent home by Lin Dan.
Gao's father and mother had already prepared themselves for the fact that Gao Shukai would never amount to anything in his life, but when they suddenly discovered that he had become a top student, they felt like they were sleepwalking and were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
Of course, in addition to a harmonious life, there will also be discordant news. In his sophomore year of high school, Zhou Nan suddenly dropped out of school. A month later, his classmates learned that he was paralyzed and would have to spend the rest of his life lying in bed.
Lin Dan felt that something was wrong and went to the hospital to visit him.
In her impression, Zhou Xinghe was a shrewd old man with a strong body, but now he seemed to have aged by dozens of years, with a dying look on his face. "It's all my fault," he said hoarsely, "I shouldn't have brought Ai Yu home to take care of her in order to explore the secret of the jade pendant. She drugged Zhou Nan and took away his Taoist bone. My grandson is only seventeen years old this year, not yet an adult! What should I do with him in the future?"
What Zhou Xinghe didn't dare to say was that Zhou Nan's Taoist bones did not originally belong to him, but were a set of immortal bones passed down from generation to generation in the Zhou family, which would allow future generations to have unique talents and superb Taoist skills. This is the reason why a very powerful heavenly master is born in every generation of the Zhou family.
Zhou Nan was lying on the hospital bed, shaking his head and said, "Don't blame Ai Yu. Without the Dao bone, she would be paralyzed for life. I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I gave her the Dao bone. I promised it myself, and I don't blame anyone. For her, I was willing to do it."
Mother Zhou cried, "Silly child, why are you still protecting her at this moment? She is so selfish and vicious!"
Lin Dan stared at Zhou Nan for a while, frowned and said, "Are you sure you are willing? I don't think so." She reached between his eyebrows and pinched out a deep red insect with her fingertips, saying, "You are infected with the love poison."
Zhou Nan felt dizzy for a moment, then he lay on the edge of the bed and vomited. After vomiting, he suddenly grabbed the quilt and screamed, shouting Ai Yu's name. But this time, there was no longer a trace of love in his voice, only thick hatred. Lin Dan had no doubt that if Ai Yu stood in front of him, he would tear her into pieces.
Zhou Xinghe was so angry that he almost had a cerebral congestion. His father and mother quickly held down their son's arm to prevent him from hurting himself. Doctors and nurses rushed over to inject sedatives into the patient. The ward was in a mess. Lin Dan stood in the corner and watched for a while before leaving, crushing the love insect as he walked.
