Hu Da, however, knew when to stop.
She knew very well that Shuten was deliberately avoiding a fight; otherwise, if they had really started fighting, their battle wouldn't have ended so easily.
After resolving this dispute, the topic, needless to say, finally arrived at the main event.
The facts are now quite clear: this ancient town of Mingshan is definitely not as simple as it appears. The issues involved are far more complex than they had previously imagined.
"How are we supposed to get there if the hot spring resort isn't completed?!" Upon hearing the latest news from Song Mengmeng, Hu Yue was the first to raise a question.
Hu Yue frowned slightly. It wasn't that she was unwilling to take the risk, but rather that this matter clearly had a lot of shady dealings involved.
According to Shuten-dōji, the hot spring resort hasn't even completed the survey and sampling yet, so how could it be as the so-called manager at the nightclub said, that everything is ready and they're just waiting to set a time to invite guests over...
Given the current situation, Shuten-dōji's words are naturally more convincing.
After all, he's already here, so there's no need for him to lie to everyone about this.
"Since they've already extended an invitation, we can naturally go." Hu Da was quite open-minded about Hu Yue's concerns. If Mingshan Ancient Town is abnormal, then the hot spring area naturally can't be much cleaner either!
Since we want to uncover the secrets of this ancient town, then using the hot springs as our starting point is the best approach!
After hearing Hu Da's opinion, Hu Yue didn't refuse any further. Instead, she told Song Mengmeng some information she had just found about ghost marriages, and then went to the front desk to check in, preparing for her hot spring trip that evening.
It was originally agreed that only one person would be added, but in the evening, Hu Da and Shuten-dōji joined.
However, just as Liu Man had said before, everyone was young, so they didn't care too much about the unexpected arrival of one or two more people. With the idea that more people would make it more lively, everyone brought their prepared things and boarded the bus that the hot spring resort had specially arranged to pick them up.
And it was in the car that Song Mengmeng finally met the handsome and kind-hearted little... no, ghost brother that Liu Man and the others had mentioned before.
Without making a sound, Song Mengmeng glanced at the time on her phone and began to plan her trip to the hot spring resort.
She silently typed a line on her phone and then quietly handed it to Hu Da behind her, asking her to show it to Shuten-dōji, who was sitting next to her.
Shuten glanced at the contents of his phone, frowned slightly, but did not object. Instead, he nodded to Song Mengmeng, indicating that he already knew.
Sure enough, once the car started moving, one of the companions who had come with Ghost Brother to pick them up asked about the identities of the people in the car, ostensibly to get to know each other better and facilitate communication.
No one hid anything about it. Even Bai Wei, who is considered a big star, did not hide her identity and revealed her real name.
What Song Mengmeng, who had been quietly observing everything from the sidelines, noticed was that when these people heard Bai Wei's name, apart from being quite amazed by Bai Wei's appearance, they did not show any other expressions of shock or joy.
This is already the biggest abnormality!
It's understandable if they didn't recognize the minor celebrities present, but Bai Wei...
Bai Wei is a well-known award-winning actress in the entertainment industry. How could these people remain so calm after hearing her name?!
So, it's not some new ghost?!
While Song Mengmeng was analyzing things in a chaotic state of mind, the introduction finally reached Shuten-dōji.
He calmly looked at everyone and uttered a name that was very characteristic of the Cherry Blossom Country: Sakura Haruka.
His next introduction, however, made Hu Da, who was sitting next to him, turn ashen-faced as if she had swallowed a fly: "I am Hu Da's boyfriend. We met when we were studying at a university in Japan."
"Whose boyfriend are you?!" Hu Da was furious, wishing she could just throw this pretentious conman out of the car window right now.
Despite the attention of everyone on the bus, Shuten-dōji managed to continue his act. He looked at everyone with an embarrassed expression and forced a smile as he explained, "We've had a little disagreement recently, and she's angry with me."
Upon hearing Shuten's explanation, the others in the carriage laughed good-naturedly, and a few lively ones even made jokes about it. The atmosphere in the carriage became more relaxed and lively because of this unexpected turn of events.
However, Song Mengmeng did not miss the fleeting murderous intent in the eyes of those demon brothers after they heard the name Shuten-dōji.
The rest of the journey was relatively easy. The bus only drove along the mountain road for about half an hour before turning onto a more secluded and narrow side road next to the main road.
Seemingly sensing that someone in the car might be worried, the young ghost brother who had been chatting with Liu Man didn't forget to smile and explain to everyone: "This is the only road leading to the hot spring resort. It's not fully repaired yet. It will be much more convenient to come over once it's finished."
Everyone was focused on their upcoming trip to the hot spring resort and didn't notice the fog gradually spreading outside the car window.
Song Mengmeng lowered her eyes without showing any emotion. It was only the first month of the lunar calendar, and the weather in February was still quite chilly at night.
