Chapter 61: Disciple

  I stared at Xu Shiwei, and before I could react to what was happening, Xu Shiwei kicked open the car door and dragged me out as we ran. The moment we jumped out of the car, it exploded, with flames shooting up into the sky and smoke billowing everywhere. Fortunately, there weren't many people around, or else there would have been countless casualties. Although it's already late August, the weather in Chengdu is still very hot, and the temperature around us rose sharply.

  I stared blankly at the car that had been blown to smithereens, and after a long while, I shivered and asked him: "Wh...what happened?"

  Xu Shiwei's face was as pale as paper as he stared at the dark, indistinct mass, his teeth clenched in anger: "This dead monster, I was just about to go find her, and she comes knocking on my door herself. Since she's being so rude, I won't be polite either."

  I was completely bewildered and asked him: "What kind of monster is that?"

  "He Mengyan is a snake demon! I realized she was abnormal when I first went to college." Xǔ Shìwéi said, panting.

  I nodded vaguely: "So you're saying that she was the one who made this car explode."

  Xu Shiwei's face sank as he nodded: "Apart from her, I temporarily can't think of anyone else. It's impossible to be the old fox, you're still in the car! If it's not her, then she must be involved somehow. Her separation technique has been cultivated to perfection, who knows if she's watching us right now?"

  "Where?!" I was startled and subconsciously hid behind him. Xu Shiwei saw my timid appearance, seemingly disapproving, and pulled me to the front while saying: "What's with this fear of yours, your Xuanbing Technique is about to come out, just freeze her to death directly!"

  "What is this 'Mystic Ice Technique'?"

  "It's just like last time you froze in anticipation, it was really too cool!" Xu Shiwei clapped her hands loudly and exclaimed.

  He said that, and I suddenly remembered that the Xuan Bing technique was mentioned by Ge Fei before. It's said to be created by a ghost fairy... I think it was He Lan Xue who also mentioned it. Could that ghost fairy be Ning Chenxiang? Am I the reincarnation of Ning Chenxiang?! No way, if I were really her reincarnation, how could I be so useless? Although on the surface, it's possible that I'm her reincarnation, but I still don't believe it. I am who I am, just like Ge Fei is Ge Fei and not some ordinary person who can replace Xu Shiwei.

  I looked at him and forced a smile: "That's not me who is frozen, I don't have such great skills."

  It's like this, but I found that since I went to Ye Jingchen's villa, I've been back and my whole person is not very normal, huh, no, it was abnormal before, it's just that after going there, it became even more abnormal.

  Xu Shiwei naturally put his hand on my shoulder and smiled: "Miss Lin, don't be modest! Once is enough, what about last time when we met a zombie? I've been there all along."

  I shook my head: "How would I know? Maybe it's just that I'm lucky and there's always someone who comes to the rescue."

  "Huh, your car exploded, what are you going to use to get to my house? We're still quite far from home!" Just as I and Xu Shiwei were arguing about whether or not I could learn the Xuan Bing technique, Little Fangzi suddenly asked in a soft and gentle voice.

  I just thought of it, our means of transportation seems to be gone. So I gazed at Xu Shiwei with a hint of despair: "Are we still going to the Fang's house? He Mengyan has appeared here, are we still going to the Fang's house?"

  Xu Shiwei glanced at the pile of charred and unrecognizable things, let out a long sigh: "My soul just returned and she's already looking for me, definitely has an ulterior motive. Better not to bother with her for now, first go find Old Man Fang at the Fang residence."

  "What's he going to do with Old Man Fang?" I was puzzled, wasn't he supposed to take revenge on He Mengyan? Why is he looking for Old Man Fang now? Does he think He Mengyan is too tough to handle, so he's going to deal with Old Man Fang first? Hmm... isn't it because Old Man Fang failed to help him capture the soul? This despicable coward, who can't even defeat He Mengyan, is now going to bully a nearly 100-year-old old man.

  Xiao Fangzi looked even more puzzled, blinking her big eyes and saying: "What do you want my brother for? Can he also be the local Tujia Bodhisattva's child?"

  "Hah!" As soon as I heard Xiaofangzi say that, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Hahaha, he can't be a child prodigy, but he can be a Jiang Ziya! Hahahaha!"

  Little Fangzi's face was full of innocence and confusion, completely not understanding what we were laughing at. This hundred-year-old ghost had been in vain, his IQ still stuck in the year he left the world.

  I saw him being pitiful, so I quickly pulled Xǔ Shì Yuè and said: "You'd better not laugh, how are we going to Fang's house now? Are we going to take a taxi?"

  "Haha, you forgot, I have this?" Xǔ Shì Wéi raised an eyebrow, proudly displaying the Líng Kōng Jiè on his hand.

  Damn, he won't think of playing teleportation, will he? Although there aren't many people on this road, there are still a few passing by, and with the recent traffic accident, more and more people are gathering. I glanced at that tree we crashed into earlier, it's not even a tree, it's just charcoal!

  As I watched the crowd gathering, I felt like pulling Xu Shiwei to a less crowded place. What if we really disappeared here? We'd definitely be on the news headlines tomorrow morning. And...I thought that even if we didn't disappear, we'd still be on the news headlines tomorrow. After all, Xu Shiwei is the young master of the Xu family, and he's not as low-key as Ge Fei, so people would know he's a rich kid.

  Xu Shiwei was dragged by me in a daze, and finally stopped me in an alley, bursting into anger and asking: "Hey! Lin Sijia, where are you taking Laozi? Didn't you get scared silly just now?"

  I took a glance around, saw no one was there, and resolutely shook off his hand, with a dark face saying: "If you suddenly disappear over there, wouldn't that scare others to death? Can't you be more low-key?"

  Listen to me, Xushiyu suddenly became unhappy, with a displeased face: "Am I that stupid? Even if you want to play hide and seek, you have to find a secluded place! Do you think it's you?"

  "Ugh, I just saw him over there touching that ring and now he's denying it. Forget it, I don't feel like arguing with him. Anyway, I should go to the Fang's house first, it's more important. It's a good opportunity for me to ask Old Man Fang where he found Ge Fei back then. Maybe I can even find some clues."

  "Alright, alright, hurry up and go, I'm stupid, I'm so stupid!" I said coldly, glancing at him with a bad attitude.

  Xu Shiwei looked at me in surprise, didn't say another word, and quickly activated the Lingkong Ring. The next moment we appeared outside the Fang family gate.

  Xu Shiwei is too impolite, he went up and knocked on the door with a loud bang, but Ge Fei knocks on the door very politely.

  The one who opened the door was Gou Sheng Er, and it seemed that last time he didn't notice me and Ge Fei running into He Meng Yan's room. If he had, he would have definitely given us a dirty look, and might have even bitten us to death! Eh? Why did I think of biting to death? What was I thinking?!

  "Gou Sheng, it's been a long time! You're getting more and more robust! Ah, look at your dog hair, it's so smooth and silky! You must be washing it frequently!" Xǔ Shì Wéi was really good at teasing people. Although someone was called Gou Sheng, he didn't have to speak like that. Not only did he talk like that, but he also used his hand to touch the other person's hair, with a gesture similar to petting the dog of the boss's wife downstairs.

  I thought Dog Remains would definitely be very angry, but unexpectedly, Dog Remains not only didn't get angry, but also shouted with a surprised face: "Young Master Xu! It's really you, you're back!"

  Paralyzed, even if you don't have a temper, can't be so temperless! If it were me, I would definitely slap Xu Shiwei's face with a loud smack. But the dog remnant actually ran in excitedly, shouting: "Master, Young Master Xu is back! Young Master Xu is back!"

  You're really born with a lowly bone, a complete servant's appearance. Xǔ Shì Wéi smiled at me proudly: "How about it? I didn't get scolded by you, did I?"

  "My god, how did he figure out what I was thinking? I widened my eyes in shock and stared at him: 'You...'"

  He looked me up and down for a moment, with great disdain: "Hey, hey, I'm not Xiao Fangzi, I don't have the ability to see through people's hearts, how would I know you? Just by looking at your expression, I can tell what you want to do!"

  "Hmph, you're not Ge Fei, what do you know! I cursed in my heart. But my mouth didn't say anything, just stared at him with a hateful gaze, then walked quickly into the room."

  Xiao Fangzi followed behind Xu Shiwei, running with short legs and asking with clasped hands: "How should I cultivate, I hope Brother Xu will point out one or two things..."

  Xu Shiwei also replied seriously: "Doing one good deed a day can lead to self-cultivation." When he said this, the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously trying to deceive Little Fangzi.

  After a brief convulsion, he regained his composure and told Xiaofang with an arrogant tone: "As long as you follow your brother, I guarantee that you will become immortal!"

  "Really? Really?" Just listening to Xiao Fangzi's excited voice, I know that his eyes are now shining with stars. He's really stupid, can't he see through people's hearts and minds? How can't he tell that Xu Shiwei is deceiving him? And the difference between Xu Shiwei and Ge Fei is so big, how can't he see it? He even accepted Xu Shiwei's deception willingly. Alas, a child is always a child, even after being a ghost for a hundred years, still so naive. Luckily, he didn't meet any evil spirits.

  When we arrived at the hall, Old Master Fang was shaking and walking out from inside. As soon as he saw Xu Shiwei, he was overjoyed: "You're back!"

  "Ah! Old man, you're thinking of me!" Xǔ Shì Wéi laughed brightly and walked forward to put his arm around Fāng Lǎo Yézi's shoulder, completely disregarding their age difference. Wait, this posture looks like Xǔ Shì Wéi is the elder and Fāng Lǎo Yézi is the younger one?

  Old Fang also chuckled and said: "I was thinking...".

  Although Old Master Fang was smiling, I always felt that his smile was quite forced. I was still puzzled when Xu Shiwei suddenly slapped the old master on the head with a loud crack, looking fierce and menacing: "You damned old man! Your skills are too good! You promised to help me hook up with Qing, but what happened? You ended up making me a lonely ghost for five years, and you even let that dead snake demon surnamed He into our home. Are you tired of your beard being too long or something?"

  Mr. Fang was dizzy from being photographed, and he was already standing unsteadily. Now he was swaying back and forth, stuttering: "Ah, I didn't do it on purpose... Besides, I didn't know she was a snake demon, I thought she was..."

  Old Fang hadn't finished speaking when he was slapped on the back of his head by Xu Shiwei, and he hurriedly covered his bald spot, shouting: "Ah, don't hit me! I'm in my several tens too..."

  "Hey, you still know your age! A man in his forties, and yet you dare to deceive people! No room for error! This is what you call no room for error! Xu Shiwei dragged Fang Lao around in circles several times, completely with the attitude of a father teaching his son: "I almost got killed, and you didn't even come to rescue me. What kind of disciple are you?!"
