Floating to your side (14)

Liu Ling's lips trembled involuntarily, but her hands did not stop moving. After a while, she put the hollow copper plate in front of her eyes and looked nervously in the direction of Shen Tang.

There was nothing. Liu Ling slowly breathed a sigh of relief and gradually moved her gaze to the table. There was nothing strange there either.

Could it be that she was overthinking it, and Xiaotang didn't bring in any weird guy at all?

"Are you looking for me?"

It was not until a clear voice came from above her head that Liu Ling stiffened her body and slowly raised her head to look at Shen Tang's bed.

The first thing that came into view was the saw-toothed ghost baby with its eye sockets full of pupils. Liu Ling was so scared that she quickly stepped back two steps and almost fell to the ground. Then she saw the delicate doll-like boy behind the ghost baby.

Wen Ting had always been unhappy with this woman, so he deliberately brought the ghost baby in front of everyone to scare her. Before Liu Ling could continue speaking, he floated to the side of Shen Tang and nibbled on her ear.

"Look at this woman's eyes, it's inexplicable, can you ask her to stay away from me?"

Liu Ling didn't hear clearly what Wen Ting said to Shen Tang, she just stared at Wen Ting's face for a long time, and a blush slowly appeared on her face. I didn't expect that this ghost could be so beautiful.

Shen Tang naturally noticed that Liu Ling's gaze towards Wen Ting had changed. She raised her left eyebrow slightly and jokingly asked with interest, "Why, now you are not afraid of this special existence anymore?"

Wen Ting rolled his eyes at Liu Ling and said in a bad tone, "That's right, didn't you think I was a dirty thing before? Why are you coming here to apologize now?" He didn't think that this person really wanted to apologize. If he really wanted to apologize, he should have caught up with Shen Tang before he took a taxi and left. Why did he wait until now to stand up and regret?

"They called you, didn't they?" Shen Tang easily guessed the reason why Liu Ling came. He estimated that the noise made by Wen Ting scared the two roommates, so they called Liu Ling for help. However, looking at Liu Ling's appearance, it didn't seem like she came to support those two people.

Shen Tang raised his eyes coldly and walked slowly towards Liu Ling. His dark pupils under his slightly long bangs reflected her shadow. "What about you? Do you also want me to move to another place?"

Liu Ling's body froze for a moment, and her face looked awkward for a moment, but she soon smiled and relaxed, "How could that be? I just wanted to apologize to you and the person next to you."

Shen Tang turned his gaze to Wen Ting thoughtfully. It turned out that his attitude changed 180 degrees after meeting this guy.

"Apologize to me?" Wen Ting sneered, as if he had heard something funny. "Whether you dislike me or not has nothing to do with me. You just need to know that I don't like you."

Liu Ling forced a smile and did not respond to the boy's words. She just turned her attention back to Shen Tang. She knew Xiaotang and she was Xiaotang's only friend, so even if she did something wrong, he was still willing to forgive her.

Thinking that she could still get Shen Tang's forgiveness this time, Liu Ling carefully held up the copper plate and looked at Shen Tang and Wen Ting, waiting for them to give her the chance to step down. However, after a long while, they didn't speak. She was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but Shen Tang raised his hand calmly, "So what do you want to do to come to me today? Do you want to chase me away? Or do you want to get the jade back?"

"I..." Liu Ling looked awkwardly in the direction of the jade placed on the table. She had not had this idea at first, but when the other party said this, she actually felt strangely moved.

After shaking her head vigorously, Liu Ling put down the copper plate in her hand: "No, I just want to apologize to you. Don't worry, I will go to explain to my roommates that you will not be replaced by them. I just hope you can forgive me. I told you all this because I don't want you to be sucked away by this evil thing. The gentleman who came to my house before said that the longer you stay with these things, the weaker your body will be. Xiaotang, I don't want you to get hurt. If you are worried that the guy next to you will hurt you, I can help you send him to the gentleman..."

Before Liu Ling finished her words, Shen Tang interrupted her.

"No need." The jade can be given to her, but it must not be handed directly to the sorcerer. For those sorcerers, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go. These possessions of Ah Piao will only be destroyed by them. By that time, even if they want to send the male protagonist to reincarnation, there will be no way.

Seeing Liu Ling standing there in silence, Shen Tang did not try to persuade her to stay. Even though the other party was the heroine, things had already happened. Taking a detour would only make the mission more difficult to complete, so Shen Tang decisively rejected Liu Ling's proposal. Compared to Liu Ling's proposal, she had more important things to do.

Shen Tang indifferently passed by Liu Ling and packed her newly bought things in big and small bags. She thought that she probably would not return to the dormitory before the mission was completed.

"What are you doing?" Liu Ling saw Shen Tang packing up his things and quickly reached out to grab his wrist. "Are you going to leave here?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Shen Tang didn't want to explain anything more to her. She looked at the impatient boy and the ghost baby beside her and smiled helplessly. Liu Ling was right. These two guys were indeed not suitable to stay in this place. Since the plot line of Wen Ting and Liu Ling had gone astray, there was no need for her to force it back. After all, her mission this time was just to send people back to reincarnate. As for what Liu Ling would do when she saw Wen Ting's appearance this time, it would depend on the power of the plot.

If the heroine lets the hero fall in love with her again, maybe her mission will be postponed. After all, Shen Tang has not forgotten that in the last mission world, the heroine was still attacked by Ah Piao after wearing the hero's possession. If the heroine's plot line returns, it also means that the hero will have to experience the siege of other Ah Piao again before he can return to the ancient temple.

"Xiaotang, I thought we were friends. Do you have to be so ruthless?" Liu Ling's face turned pale. She couldn't tell what she felt. It seemed that some things shouldn't have developed this way. She put the copper plate on her eyes again, looked at the boy floating in the sky, and asked in a weak voice, "Can you tell Xiaotang that I don't mind your presence at all. Can you please not leave?"

No matter how weak Liu Ling's expression was, Wen Ting looked at her unmoved like a wooden block, and finally left a ruthless word.

"Just live your life as an ordinary person. Don't try to get involved in things that you shouldn't be involved in. No one will help you."

Wen Ting waved his sleeves and followed Shen Tang, who had packed up, out of the dormitory. He was originally curious about the so-called residence of the little girl in the school, but after seeing Liu Ling and her two roommates, he suddenly felt that it would be good to leave this place, so as not to be entangled by annoying people.

Shen Tang took Wen Ting and the ghost baby back to the small house he rented outside the school and lived there for two days. He planned to wait until the weekend to visit the family he had called earlier to learn about what happened in Gushi Village. The rental house was only two kilometers away from the school. Shen Tang rented it outside the school to avoid being disturbed by wandering spirits. He didn't expect it to be useful so soon. However, if there was anything wrong with leaving the dormitory on campus for a few days, it was that Liu Ling had become a different person and started to pester Shen Tang all day to ask about Wen Ting's whereabouts.

Feeling the power of the plot that can make the heroine feel good about the hero even if they have never met, Shen Tang simply put the jade in the rental house before leaving, so that Liu Ling would not always come to her to find out the whereabouts of Wen Ting. However, she did not expect that when she asked Wen Ting and the ghost baby to stay in the rental house and went to the family she had arranged to meet by phone, she unexpectedly showed up.

Shen Tang left the house on the weekend because she was worried that the ghost baby would be unable to control the evil spirit like last time in the person in charge's car, so she asked Wen Ting to watch the ghost baby in the house, and she took a taxi to the residence that she had told her on the phone. However, as soon as she left the rental house, a sneaky figure slipped in front of the house, reached out and took out a copper plate, put it in front of his eyes, and whispered to the thin Ah Piao floating outside the door.

"Please enter this room and find something for me and bring it out. I can find a way to give you the reward you want."

Not long after Shen Tang got into the car and left the rental house, she sneezed a few times. She rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, wondering who was thinking about her so much.

The taxi drove quickly and finally arrived at a village some distance from Gushi Village according to the location Shen Tang mentioned. After getting off the car, Shen Tang held up his phone and checked the house numbers in front of each house in the village for a long time before he found the house mentioned in the phone call.

After the doorbell rang for a while, a little girl ran out of the house excitedly and opened the door for her, muttering, "Are you the sister who called me a few days ago? Come in with me, I'll take you to see my grandma!"

Shen Tang's eyes widened slightly. She didn't expect this little girl to be so smart. When she saw her, she wanted to take her to see the person who knew about the Gushi Village. But it was also good. The sooner she understood what happened in Gushi Village, the sooner she could send the ghost baby to reincarnation.

Shen Tang followed the little girl into the other family's house and looked around. The furnishings in the house were all normal, but there were no unusual items. Shen Tang quickly retracted his gaze and followed the little girl to an old lady with gray hair. The girl then smiled and called out.

"Grandma, this sister wants to ask you something, I won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, the girl walked out of the room very obediently and closed the door behind her, leaving the old and the young staring at each other in the room.

"Mother-in-law, do you really know what happened in Gushi Village?"
