Chapter Ten: The Lonely Night

  ()

  "What a sin!" Huang Sanwen said with hatred; "In those years of severe famine, hardly anyone dared to eat human flesh. Now that life is so good, yet..." "Humans are inherently greedy animals." Ye Wen said coldly; "That vengeful spirit should have just formed recently, I forced it into the cycle of reincarnation. But I estimate there's more than one." "What can we do?" "Don't care about them, whoever eats their flesh will die anyway." Ye Wen turned his head and said; "The resentment on their bodies can connect to those who eat and kill them, no one can escape." "Right, don't bother." Huang Sanwen patted Ye Wen's back; "Since they dare to eat humans, they should be prepared to be haunted by ghosts." "So that man was also eaten, and then haunted by ghosts?" Lai Xi asked, pointing at a photo on the wall. "Shouldn't be, probably he was the one who did the butchering." Ye Wen looked at the chef's certificate on the wall; "Otherwise, he would have died long ago. Like this, it's estimated that he won't recover in half a year or a year." "Heavenly justice, karma will not be disappointed! Let's go." Huang Sanwen shook his head and shouted.

  The first day of formal school, as soon as I entered the classroom, I found a stack of books and a name tag on each seat. It was unclear whether Tian Xin did it intentionally or not, but the four of us ended up sitting in the four corners of the classroom, which led to some complaints from others. For almost the entire morning session, every teacher who came in would first introduce themselves, wasting half the time, and then ramble on about trivial matters without teaching anything substantial. Finally, we made it to lunchtime, and the group followed the crowd into the cafeteria. Each grade level has its own cafeteria, and ordering food is convenient - just input your selection at your seat, and staff will deliver it to you. This led to another round of complaints from Ye Xun and others. Suddenly, the cafeteria's broadcast system crackled to life: "Ye Xun, please note that someone outside the school is looking for you. Please report to the school gate immediately!" "Who does this person think they are, interrupting our meal like this?" Ye Xun cursed loudly, with a mouthful of food still unfinished. "Go take a look and see what's going on," Lai Xi said, pointing at Ye Xun's rice bowl. "We'll help you deal with it, don't worry." "Don't think about skipping out on us, just be honest for once!" Ye Xun tossed off before heading outside.

  "Huh?" Ye Wen was stunned when he saw an old man wearing a floral shirt at the school gate; "You're not dead yet, are you?" "You little turtle egg!" The old man's goatee bristled with rage as he scolded; "Look at how your grandfather is talking." "Uh, what was that. I take back what I just said." Ye Wen silently recited a spell to calm himself down; "Aren't you supposed to be dead? How did you come back?" "Heh heh, what's up?" Ye Wen's grandfather smiled awkwardly; "Last month, I found the card I had prepared for you and took it with me..." "I'm leaving first." Ye Wen was still angry about this matter, but the old man had forgotten about it, causing him to waste several years of his life just trying to survive. "Wait!" Grandfather grabbed Ye Wen's arm; "I'll be leaving soon, I came back specifically to give you this card." "Where are you going again?" Ye Wen didn't expect his grandfather to leave again so soon; "Are you looking for that nun on the mountain?" "Pfft!" Ye Wen looked at his grandfather with disdain; "I'm handsome and elegant, how could I be interested in those people?" "Oh heavens, I was wrong about you!" Ye Wen suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted; "I finally know where your shamelessness and lechery come from."

  Ye Xun's grandfather was named Ye Gu Xiao. He was the 43rd generation successor of Mao Shan, entering the mountain gate at the age of three and leaving at seventeen to gain experience. At thirty-three years old, he got married, and at thirty-five years old, he divorced. He had a son named Ye Yu. When his son Ye Xun was just born and not yet a month old, he disappeared with his wife without a trace. For sixteen years, he traveled all over the country searching for his son's whereabouts but to no avail. Although he is now seventy-two years old, he looks like he is around fifty, and his spirit is not only good but also extremely lecherous. It's hard for Ye Xun that under his influence, he doesn't have an interest in women, but the excellent tradition of being a rogue with a thick skin has been completely inherited by Ye Xun, and even shows signs of surpassing him.

  "Alright!" Ye Gu Xiu smiled at Ye Wen as he asked about the color of his robes; "This time I came back, besides giving you this card, the most important thing is to tell you two things." Seeing that Grandfather was being serious, Ye Wen also stopped messing around; "What things?" "Firstly, take good care of Tong Tian, he will definitely bring you unexpected help in the future." "I know, Tong Tian eats ghosts." "It has already begun... these are not important, listen to Grandfather. Secondly, and most importantly..." Ye Gu Xiu had some difficulty opening his mouth; "If I haven't returned by the time you're 18 years old, you must open the jar in the underground chamber." "What do you mean?" Ye Wen had a bad premonition. "You'll know when the time comes." Ye Gu Xiu threw a card at Ye Wen and said; "No matter what, remember that you are a member of the Ye family!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Looking at Ye Gu Xiu's back, Ye Wen felt an unconscious pain in his heart. Silently walking back, looking at the card in his hand, his face suddenly changed; "Crap! What's the password?"

  However, shortly after Ye Xun walked away, Ye Gu Xi suddenly reappeared in the same spot, gazing at Yaogui Academy with a sigh. His figure swayed slightly before walking straight past the security guard, who seemed to be oblivious. On the 12th floor rooftop of the teaching building, a large area was covered by only one house made almost entirely of tempered glass, surrounded by various flowers and plants. A small pavilion sat an elderly woman with white hair. The woman slightly raised her head, looking at an empty space before saying, "What brings you here?" "Not just me," Ye Gu Xi's voice slowly came; "Your precious grandson is also here." "Xun Er!?" The white-haired person stood up, surprisingly a 40-year-old-looking man if not for the white hair, which made him appear older. "Where is he?"
