Master Hu pondered deeply before he gradually said, “The anniversary of the dead is already a special occasion. Coupled with the rain yesterday, the negative energy was stronger.”
Shi Beiyu nodded his head with a frown.
Master Hu continued, “The deceased died of a car crash, so she must have some unfinished business here. Your girlfriend was probably possessed because she was low in her luck and had less positive energy flow in her. The deceased here probably wanted to let the living help fulfill her last wishes.”
Shi Beiyu was enlightened. The only person Mu Siyun could not let go off was his father.
“What’s the second possibility?”
Master Hu let out a soft sigh. “The second possibility is a bit tacky to deal with.”
Shi Beiyu’s heart sank a little. “How tacky?”
Master Hu knitted his brows together and said, “Under normal circumstances, a human being’s body would never transform when possessed by a spirit. However, you said that your girlfriend’s hair changed into the deceased’s hair color. From this, I deduce that the situation is not just a simple possession.”
The crease on Shi Beiyu’s forehead deepened.
After a long pause, Shi Beiyu mustered his courage and whispered, “What is it if it’s not a possession?”
Master Hu shook his head lightly. “I can’t jump to conclusions. I’ll only know once I see her.”
Shi Beiyu instantly got up and gave Master Hu a bow. “Please follow me then, sir.”
…
Mu Siyin waited in the villa until nightfall, but Shi Beiyu was still nowhere to be seen.
She was getting bored by now. She wanted to give Shi Beiyu a call to ask him about his whereabouts, yet she was afraid to bother him at the same time. That was why she chose to watch some television shows in the living room by herself.
Uncle Zhong had just finished his tasks and decided to spend some time with Mu Siyin. The old man said, “What treasure did Little Beibei give you yesterday, Little Siyin? Can you let an old geezer like me have a look?”
Mu Siyin was stunned as she had not anticipated Uncle Zhong to ask this. After a moment, she blinked and grinned. “About that…”
Uncle Zhong thought that Mu Siyin was worried Shi Beiyu would tell her off if he found out. Hence, the old man quickly added, “Don’t worry. Yesterday, Little Beibei already promised to show it to me today. Since you’re free, can you let me take a look at it?”
Mu Siyin hesitated for a bit. After some pondering, she realized that she did not carry anything valuable on her that day.
As such, she had no choice but to lie. “Uncle Zhong, I’ve already kept that gift at home today.”
A crease immediately spread across Uncle Zhong’s old face when he heard this. “You’ve kept it at home?”
Worried that Uncle Zhong did not believe in her, she said, “Yeah. Since I was going out with my friend today, I was worried that I’d lose it if I carry the gift with me. That was why I kept it at home. If you want to take a look, I’ll go home and bring it to you, okay?”
Uncle Zhong initially did not buy her story but nodded his head when he heard her explanation. “You said it. You must bring it to me after you go home, okay? I don’t want to make a loss from this bargain.”
Mu Siyin was confused, so she asked him curiously, “A loss… from a bargain?”
Uncle Zhong snorted arrogantly. “Yeah. Little Beibei saw my treasure yesterday. That is why I have to see the treasure that he gave you too.”
Mu Siyin instantly understood what was going on. Amused, she said, “I see. What’s your treasure, Uncle Zhong?”
Uncle Zhong snorted softly. “The both of you only know how to take advantage of me!”
“No, I just want to take a look. I’ll go back tomorrow and bring you my treasure, okay?”
“Really?”
Mu Siyin immediately nodded her head. “Of course!”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhong grinned in joy as he took out the jade that he hung on his neck…
