Chapter 284 Ghost on A Rainy Night 1
"What?! But why?"
"How would I know?" Ye Shaoyang had planned to catch up her and check on the bag, but he had second thoughts now. Obviously, she was covering whatever was in the bag to prevent them from seeing it. What if she insisted that her lingerie was in the bag? It would be inappropriate for him to insist on checking.
However, he kept this in his mind, wondering if had she omitted some details from the story she told him.
When Zhuang Yuning came back up, she invited them into her room. Ye Shaoyang checked around; the room was small and typical of a young female teenager. Xiao Ma had never expected that one day he would have an opportunity to enter his goddess' room. He was too excited, so he tried to snap a few photos but Zhuang Yuning caught him and stopped him angrily.
Ye Shaoyang followed the smell of incense ashes and arrived before a wardrobe. He looked over his shoulder and asked, "Would you mind me opening the wardrobe?"
Zhuang Yuning shook her head, blushing, "I am sorry, I'd rather you don't. There are only some underclothes and personal stuff in there."
Ye Shaoyang did not press the matter any further. He reached out for his carpenter ink marker, pulled out a lengthy cinnabar thread, placed a Spirit Repelling Bell onto it, and hung it over the window bar.
"The Spirit Repelling Bell can detect the presence of evil beings. Once the bell rings, I will sense it and come up at once."
Zhuang Yuning nodded gratefully, "Mr. Ye, do you have any talisman papers that can prevent evil beings from coming in?"
"I won't stick a talisman paper so that the evil being will enter without fear. Then, I can capture it." Ye Shaoyang gave a last glance before he stepped out of the room.
Zhuang Yuning walked them to the second floor, "Mr. Ye, anything else?"
Ye Shaoyang thought for a while before he said, "The evil being will not appear during the daytime. However, you have to avoid going to murky corners. Besides, the Protection Talisman that you are wearing does not have much power left inside, so I estimate that it will not be able to stand another attack. You must come back and sleep at home every night. If not, we would have wasted our efforts in setting up these measures."
"Noted. I never stay overnight outside. Furthermore, I need to practice singing at home every day for my finals competition," answered Zhuang Yuning as she nodded.
"Yuyu, I have total faith in you getting the championship! I will gather all my friends to vote for you later!" Xiao Ma interrupted.
"Thank you." Zhuang Yuning smiled. She passed two keys and a card to Ye Shaoyang, "This is the pass card and my house keys. I usually order delivery food, and I have no regular meal hours. So, please eat by yourselves. You can find various kinds of food at the food streets outside the residential area. I will take a nap now. See you guys later."
Ye Shaoyang returned to his bedroom and Xiao Ma followed him, jumping onto his bed with his arms and legs extended widely, and he emotionally said, "I never even dreamed that I could sleep in Yuyu's house. I feel like I am dreaming now; this is amazing!"
"Shoo! Back to your bedroom then."
"Fine. I am going out now. I have a date tonight. Thank me for giving you such a great opportunity to spend time alone with her. Bye." Xiao Ma put on a sinister smile as he exited the room.
Ye Shaoyang closed the door and walked to the window, checking out the garden outside. A couple of wooden fence surrounded the garden European style with several flower pots. A gravel path headed to the middle of the garden; a beach umbrella and a few cane chairs stood around a roundtable. The designs gave the sense of exquisite refinement.
However, the design drew Ye Shaoyang's attention; it resembled a Fengshui arrangement. Counting with his fingers, he was shocked to realize that it was a Yin Crossing Yang Formation. The Yin overpowered the Yang and the Big Dipper over the top of the house. It was a Fengshui for a grave!
But the gravel path cut in between and terminated the Fengshui.
Was this area a cemetery or did a Fengshui master try to revert the Fengshui after knowing the situation? Ye Shaoyang fell into deep thought. Instead of asking Zhuang Yuning, he decided to investigate in secret.
The alcohol made Ye Shaoyang feel dizzy a little, so he took a nap.
It was almost evening when he woke up. Planning to fill his stomach, he went down to the ground floor and saw that the gate was opened.
As he walked past the garden, two couples were sitting around the table, including Zhuang Yuning. She walked toward Ye Shaoyang once she saw him and smiled, "Heavenly Master Ye, you came at the right moment. Let me introduce my friends to you."
Ye Shaoyang had no intentions of getting to know her friends. He knew her friends would mainly be singers and the rich. However, since he had run into them, he had no choice but to follow her to greet them.
She moved a stone chair and gestured for him to sit. After a short introduction, Ye Shaoyang could only remember the big watery eyes pretty girl's name, Huang Shaohua. He could not remember the names of the two men and had no interest in knowing them. However, the two men sized him up with hostile expressions.
"I heard you are a Daoist. Do you really capture ghost?" The man in a white suit asked.
Ye Shaoyang did not answer his question due to his rude attitude. He did not even bother looking at the man. The man in white turned his body away and spoke to Zhuang Yuning, "Since this sorcerer dares to accept the case, he must be a great sorcerer. Can he show some tricks to us, the layman?"
"Drop it. Mr. Ye is a very able person. Moreover, there is no ghost to capture here."
"I believe he is a very able person," said the other man, a thin fellow, "Look at the pirated Adidas shirt he is wearing. No trickster will wear a pirated t-shirt. Mr. Ye must be a great sorcerer who is humble. If not, he will not wear a pirated t-shirt as if it is the original t-shirt. He surely does not care about it."
The man in white suit continued, "Yuyu, you'd better be careful. There are many tricksters now. You are lucky if you meet the one who is keen for money but some approach you just because they hope to get your body. You are…. oh, Mr. Ye, don't take it seriously. I am not referring to you. Why don't you show us some tricks? To enlighten us. Haha."
Zhuang Yuning stood up at once, offended, "What are you two talking about? Mr. Ye is my guest. Out of my house if you try to make fun of him again!"
The more she tried to protect Ye Shaoyang, the more jealous the two grew. The man in the white suit took out a stack of money from his wallet and threw a few of them on the table. He tried to speak in a polite manner, but his face remained arrogant, "Mr. Ye is a very able person. You won't do it for free. Is this enough for you?"
Ye Shaoyang gave him a faint smile; he felt that this idiot-looking bastard sounded a little funny.
