Chapter 91: Chapter 91: The Ancestor Speaks Frankly
“Little Master, who are you talking to?”
Upon hearing Xia Xin suddenly talking to himself, Wen Zishu asked somewhat bewilderedly.
Xia Xin’s body stiffened.
Before he could figure out how to respond,
Jiangli spoke up from the side, “There’s a little ghost on the bus, one of the wraiths of the excavated remains at the construction site.”
Wen Zishu’s eyes widened in shock, and with a stomp on the brakes, the newly started car came to a screeching halt, stationary.
Embracing Shuaishuai, Xia Xin couldn’t help but lurch forward.
Jiangli sat there, not moving an inch, steady as a rock.
“Ju-just now…” Wen Zishu’s head knocked against the steering wheel, his mind foggy. He straightened up, rubbing his painfully throbbing forehead, and swallowing hard, he asked, “Did I hear that right just now? Is there, is there a child on the bus?”
It should be a child, right? Not a wraith?
At the thought of that word, Wen Zishu couldn’t help but start trembling all over.
Hearing this, Xia Xin sighed internally.
The ancestor spoke too quickly just now.
He hadn’t had the chance to stop him.
The way it was said, not to mention an ordinary person like Wen Zishu, even he was almost startled.
It was no wonder Wen Zishu couldn’t accept it.
“That… ” Considering this, Xia Xin wanted to brush it off.
But Jiangli said, “I did not speak wrongly, and you did not hear wrongly. There is indeed a little ghost, he came with us. We were able to find this place, thanks to his guidance.”
Aright, he might as well keep quiet.
The ancestor is just that formidable, no need for explanations.
Wen Zishu nearly jumped up from his seat, his body leaning sideways.
“Holy shit, holy shit… Where is it? Where is that little ghost?!”
“He is in Xia Xin’s arms.” Seeing his extreme panic, Jiangli took the rare opportunity to offer some comfort, “Don’t worry, he isn’t an evil ghost and won’t harm anyone.”
Wen Zishu felt like crying.
Abbot, your explanation might as well not been given.
But it’s still a ghost!
How could a normal person not be afraid of ghosts?
Wen Zishu looked back pitifully, glanced at Jiangli, and when he caught sight of Xia Xin, his expression became even harder to describe.
People from the Taoist Temple are so fearless.
To be running around while holding a ghost in their arms.
Lucky that he can’t see it.
Wen Zishu suddenly felt that not being able to see ghosts might be a good thing too.
He took a deep breath, turned around to steady his emotions, and as he restarted the car, he said, “Anyway, this matter is finally resolved.”
Jiangli gave a nonchalant hmm and asked, “Is your situation resolved as well?”
“Yeah, the person who cheated me has been arrested, and they’re preparing to return the money.” This was the happiest update for Wen Zishu lately.
Though the money wasn’t much, at least the culprits who cheated him were punished, and that’s what mattered most.
Hearing this, Xia Xin just remembered this matter.
However, before he could speak, Shuaishuai tugged on him again.
Xia Xin looked up at Wen Zishu, thinking since he already knew, he didn’t hold back and openly asked Shuaishuai, “What’s wrong?”
“I, I want to go home…” Shuaishuai mumbled tearfully.
Xia Xin was a bit troubled.
This wasn’t something he had the authority to handle.
He instinctively looked towards Jiangli.
Jiangli turned to look out the window, seemingly not having heard.
But Xia Xin was certain that Jiangli had indeed heard.
So, if the ancestor wasn’t responding, did it mean he didn’t want to get involved?
“Brother…” At that moment, Shuaishuai softly called out to him again.
That call melted Xia Xin’s heart.
