Volume 1: Spirit Marriage Chapter 47: Reading University

  I had actually felt that Wu Lele was not ordinary, her courage and wisdom were above others. The reason I took it for granted was because she once told me that after waking up from a serious illness, she possessed supernatural powers.

  At the dead of night, I took out the iron box and placed it on the table, opened the lid, and leaned against the table with Zhang Yunhao, staring curiously at each other. Zhong Ling'er said that Shui Shengzi had been absorbed into the Yinyang knife and turned into a knife soul, but how could he be summoned out?

  Suddenly, I remembered the Ghost-Driving Spell, why not try using it?

  Then, I silently recited the Ghost-Controlling Curse. As soon as I finished, a wisp of black smoke rose from the Yin-Yang Knife and revolved in mid-air several times before slowly drifting down to the ground and transforming into a ghostly figure.

  It's Shui Shengzi!

  But he was no longer as gloomy and ferocious as before, his whole body trembling, and even emitting white smoke, as if he had just come out of an ice cellar.

  I was startled along with Zhang Yunhao, seeing Shui Shengzi's appearance, curiously and vigilantly staring at him. Shui Shengzi looked at us for a moment, seemingly wanting to speak, but his lips moved slightly before he asked: "C...can I have a Hellish Lullaby?" Zhang Yunhao and I exchanged glances, with Zhang Yunhao asking: "Have you really become the knife soul of the Yin-Yang Knife?" Shui Shengzi said: "Yes, I was sealed within the Yin-Yang Knife. It's too cold, I really can't bear it."

  Jian Shui Shengzi didn't seem to be lying, and he glanced at Zhang Yunhao with a hint of meaning in his eyes, indicating that he should follow Jian Shui Shengzi's words. Zhang Yunhao took out the ancient Mingqin and played a segment of the Hellish Soul-Calming Melody.

  After the song, Shuǐ Shèng Zǐ's face looked much better. He told me that he had now merged with the Yīn Yáng Dāo to become one, becoming the knife soul of the Yīn Yáng Dāo. Whoever possesses the Yīn Yáng Dāo is his master. His father also gave him a name, and from then on, he would be called Hé Shuò. I said you should have the surname Huáng, but Shuǐ Shèng Zǐ said he didn't want to have the surname Huáng, so just call him Hé Shuò.

  From then on, there was an additional knife soul in my Yin Yang Knife - He Suo.

  Recalling He Shuo's life, he was aborted before birth and suffered the pain of dying every seven days. He spent eighteen years in such loneliness, which is too tragic. I sympathize with him deeply and decided to give him freedom to reincarnate as a human being. However, He Shuo refused, fearing that he would be aborted again before birth. Instead, he preferred to stay in the icy cold Yin-Yang blade, forever trapped as a knife soul.

  After a few days, Huangshi Shu and Huang Shu's bodies had both recovered. I wanted to take He Suo to see them, but He Suo disagreed, so I had to give up.

  Time flies, I'm going to school soon. The day before yesterday, Wu Lele came to find me and made an appointment with me to go to her house the next morning to pick her up, and we went together. Actually, I was always puzzled, wasn't Wu Lele sick for half a year? She didn't even take the college entrance exam, so how did she get the university admission letter? When I asked her about this doubt, she explained that because her grades were always good, she could directly attend a certain famous university without taking the college entrance exam. It was only natural to go to XX University (the reason why the real name is not revealed is that a series of strange things will happen in this university, so it's not convenient to make the school name public).

  As for Zhang Yunhao, as far as I know, he has a good family background and is considered a rich second generation. However, he doesn't like reading books and is particularly interested in the supernatural and mysticism. Now, he thinks I'm a ghost doctor and wants to follow me to communicate with ghosts. I don't know what kind of trickery he used, but he managed to get admission to XX University.

  The day before I went to school, my mother stood at the gate of our home, looking out anxiously and muttering to herself about how my father still hadn't returned, wondering if he was dead. My mother said this because she was too sad and disappointed. I comforted her, saying that Father was a lucky man with a strong fate, nothing would happen to him, and besides, tomorrow there were two people accompanying me to school, so it wasn't necessary for an adult to send me off.

  My mother seemed not to have heard me speak, and said that since my father had been gone for so long without calling back, he must be dead. I didn't know how to comfort her, thinking that even if Father encountered a fatal danger, he would refuse to die, who would treat the ghost's illness if he died?

  At night, I called Zhong Ling'er and asked her when she was going to study. She said tomorrow. I asked if her mother had returned, and she said not yet. I also asked which university she attended, and she told me truthfully. After hearing it, I was pleasantly surprised that the university she attended was in the same city as my school. I suggested going together tomorrow, anyway, I have a car, so you don't need to take the train. Zhong Ling'er hesitated for a moment and said okay.

  Thinking of going to university with Zhong Ling'er, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.

  The next day, I bid farewell to my mother and fellow villagers, and set off with Zhang Yunhao, Zhong Ling'er, and Wu Lele on the journey to university.

  I won't go into details about what happened on the way. Since we didn't leave the province, we arrived that afternoon. I quickly registered and found out that Zhang Yunhao, Wu Lele and I were all in the Information Department, but they were in Information Class 1 and Information Class 2 respectively, while I was in Network Class 1. Later, I called Zhong Ling'er and learned that she was studying in the Chinese Department.

  Originally, according to school regulations, we were supposed to live on campus, but Zhang Yunhao relied on having some stinky money and insisted on renting a house outside the school. Moreover, he rented an apartment with four rooms and one living room, equipped with sofas and home appliances. There was no way around it, so Wu Lele and I had to move there to live.

  We came to sign up on Friday, and the next day was the weekend. School was closed until Monday, so Zhang Yunhao was itching to do something. He heard that there was a mountain nearby called Panlong Mountain, which was towering into the clouds with beautiful scenery. He suggested we go play tomorrow. Wu Lele was also a playful person and agreed enthusiastically. I had originally planned to visit Zhong Ling'er's school and cultivate some feelings with her, but now they were talking about going to this Panlong Mountain, so I felt very unhappy in my heart. Zhang Yunhao really knew me well, he saw the look on my face and said "Let's go pick up Zhong Ling'er and we can all go together tomorrow."

  "Good!" I agreed at once.

  Wu Lele pouted.

  It's still early, I suggest we go pick up Zhong Ling'er now. Wu Lele said in a strange tone, "You want her to come over, but she might not agree." Zhang Yunhao said, "Even if she doesn't agree, she'll have to agree. If not, we'll just drag her onto the car and bring her over by force."

  This suggestion is great!

  I clicked with Zhang Yunhao immediately, and we set off right away. Wu Lele was sitting on the sofa motionless. I said you must be tired today, take a rest first. Wu Lele jumped up at once, pouted and muttered a few words, seemingly saying something like "valuing material things over friendship". Zhang Yunhao and I exchanged a smile and set off in high spirits.

  On the road, Zhang Yunhao said that with Zhong Ling'er's personality, she might not come over, especially at night. I said that since it was like this, we had to think of a plan. Wu Lele gave us a white eye and muttered: "True thief!"

  I called Zhong Ling'er and said that we would come over later to visit her school and asked her to be our guide, she agreed.

  In less than forty minutes, we arrived at Zhong Ling'er's school. I stopped the car outside the school gate and called Zhong Ling'er to come out.

  About ten minutes later, Zhong Ling'er came out, wearing a blue sportswear, slender and elegant, refined and unconventional. I spotted her in the crowd at a glance and immediately went to greet her and asked her to get on the car. Zhong Ling'er looked into the car and said, "Aren't we going to visit your school? Why take a car?"

  Zhong Ling'er must have been worried about getting on the wrong bus, so she was very cautious. I said let's get on the bus first, Hao Ge and Le Le are both inside, we've come from afar, shouldn't you be treating us to a meal? Zhong Ling'er seemed to be thinking, then nodded and walked towards the bus.

  I deliberately opened the back door for her, letting her sit in the back with Wu Lele. After she got in, I closed the door and slipped into the front door, making a gesture to Zhang Yunhao, who understood and immediately drove towards our school.

  It had just been a few minutes since we set off, and Zhong Ling'er felt something was wrong. She asked us where we were going, and Wu Lele said: "Where else can we go? Of course, it's their den." Then she reminded her: "Once you go this time, you won't be able to come back tonight. If you want to get off the car, now is still possible."

  I turned around and gave Wu Lele a meaningful look, Wu Lele hummed and turned her face away. I told Zhong Ling'er that we wouldn't be attending school for the next two days, as we planned to go to Panlong Mountain tomorrow, and she would likely be bored staying in school alone, so I wanted to invite her to come along with us.

  "Panlong Mountain?" Zhong Ling'er frowned slightly, I said yes, Panlong Mountain, I heard there are immortals on this mountain. Wu Lele hummed: "Immortal your head, it's almost like a ghost." I said uncomfortably: "We're all university students now, can't you have some quality?" Wu Lele turned her face away, saying disdainfully: "Sorry, I didn't read books, I don't know what to say to whom." I said I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, then asked Zhong Ling'er if she was going. Zhong Ling'er said yes. I was overjoyed and looked at Wu Lele proudly, she hummed again and turned her face towards the car window. The big sister is unhappy, I thought to myself, this girl Wu Lele has a really bad temper.
