Chapter 23 - This little brother has come to your door

The days were not as I had imagined — books were books.

The morning of the second day, Chen Ye came over.

The moment I opened the door and saw him, I was stunned.

"Why are you here?" This is a stalker, right?

Absolutely!

"I'm looking for the gentleman who followed you the other day."

"You mean that ghost?" I frowned as I looked at Chen Ye. If I remember correctly, the person that was following me that day should have been Chu Yu.

But when he met Chen Ye, Chu Yu had always been in a state of invisibility, so how could he see anything?

If that was the case, then this kid really did have some skills.

"Yes, I have something to talk to him about."

"Go find him if you need anything. What are you doing here?"

"He's a ghost. Where am I supposed to find him? The only one who has been near him is you."

"So —" I was speechless.

"So I stayed here until he showed up again." With that, Chen Ye walked into the house tyrannically, as if he was the master of this place.

When he saw A Fan who was sitting on the sofa, he mocked: "Yo, your abilities aren't that great. The ones following by your side are each more capable than the other."

"You're pretty good too." I bite back.

On that day, Chu Yu had clearly gone invisible, but this brat could tell that A Fan was abnormal with just a glance. Moreover, he was able to find out where he was with his own ability —

It could even be said that teleporting to this place was not excessive, but this brat actually followed me here. If this wasn't ability, then what was it?

But I also have some doubts. If this kid is so capable, why couldn't he break out of the Wall of Ghost Fighting on that day?

If it wasn't for the bag of beans soaked in the black dog's blood, they might both have died there that day.

"When will he come back?" Chen Ye ignored me, and instead asked a question that he was extremely concerned about.

"How would I know?" I'm also very depressed.

He came as he pleased, he left as he pleased, he didn't even have a trace of him. Chu Yu and I aren't friends, I was completely dragged here to work for free, I could be sucked dry by him at any time —

How would I dare to inquire about their itinerary?

"You're really useless."

Then why didn't you tame the evil spirits of the Jiang Family. I curled my lips and ignored him. Instead, I carried all the messy books back to my room and read them slowly.

Although the Old Boys's tone was not good, his temper was not good, and he did not do anything good —

But this pile of books is really useful. Now that Master is gone, I don't know how long I'll have to work for him, so it's necessary to enrich myself.

In the past, I always thought that with my cauldron's physique, the most important thing is to avoid others, because no matter how much I train, it's useless. The higher my ability to cultivate, the more others would covet it.

But it's different now. I don't know where my master went. Besides, if he were to offend two powerful people like him, even if his half-hearted master were to return, he might not be able to protect me.

Sigh, he still had to rely on himself.

Three days passed just like that.

The atmosphere of the three people was extremely weird.

Other than cooking something to eat, I am just chewing on that pile of books. That A Fan is like a wooden stake, sitting on the sofa without eating or drinking. If you didn't use your eyes to look, you probably wouldn't have noticed the existence of another person in this room.

As for Chen Ye?

This brat didn't act different from anyone else and completely treated this place like his own home. Eating when the time comes, I'll cook, and he'll even help me wash the dishes.

Although the atmosphere was silent for a while, they were at peace.

On the third day, Chu Yu came over.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Ye …"

"Not interested." Chu Yu cut him off and looked at me, "How's your carrying of that pile of things?"

"Er —" I choked. Can I tell him I haven't finished a single one?

It's not that you haven't finished looking through it, but you have to understand it after you've finished reading it. You have to find the difference between them and the mortician, as well as a way to restrain them, which is why it's so much slower.

Furthermore, I'm not a particularly talented person, so naturally, I can't be fast.

"Stupid." Chu Yu spat out the word unrestrainedly, mixed with an incomparable disdain.

"Then if you're so capable, find a good one, like the one in the movie, and absorb it directly from the forehead. It's the kind that doesn't need to be studied at all. You can find a bunch of books, so I won't read them bit by bit." Maybe he thinks that this male ghost will not harm me at the moment.

Or perhaps I feel that A Fan, who was by my side, was of similar strength to him, thus my courage grew by a lot.

"Mr. Chu, did you take the fragment of the Jade Soul with you?" Chen Ye asked.

"What do you care?" Chu Yu then looked straight at him, but his eyes were abnormally cold.

"Ah — Jade Soul Fragment, when is it?" I also looked at Chu Yu in bewilderment. Didn't Old Boys stay with me that day? When did he find the fragment of Jade Soul?

"By the time you found out, the yellow flower had turned cold." Chu Yu rolled his eyes at me again.

Then, he looked at Chen Ye and asked: "Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do? "

Maybe because of his ice-cold gaze, Chen Ye couldn't help but raise his hands and swear: "I didn't have any intention of hurting you. The reason I'm here waiting for you today, is mainly because of the instructions from my family."

"The family's instructions?" Chen Ye looked to be very young, but this Old Boys has already lived for god knows how many years.

Maybe it was some old monster from a few thousand years ago. Was this related to Chen Ye's family?

You can't even hit the eighth pole!

Chen Ye's current family members definitely wouldn't have any relationship with him. Even if he had some sort of relationship with his ancestors, from generation to generation, the oath would still deviate from its original form.

"Um, this matter is a bit complicated. Do you want us to find a place to discuss it ourselves?" Chen Ye looked at A Fan and me —

The look in her eyes was clear — we were both outsiders, and what they were trying to say was such a big secret that it would be inconvenient for an outsider to be present.

Damn — I almost vomited blood!

This is elder sister's home after all, you came to my house as an outsider, yet you still despise your master, how can there be such logic in this world?

"Sigh … I say, don't be so shameless. Elder sister, I'm still travelling with you, not to mention, this is my home." I scolded him while thinking, "What secret is this?"
