Dark Flame Acknowledges Master

  From my observation, Ming Yan still has many things that he hasn't said, but from these days of interaction, I have come to understand him a bit. He's a ghost with a kind heart and knows how to repay kindness. Although some of this is for his own purposes, at the very least he didn't force me, instead patiently waiting for my response.

  Today, my uncle had a great influence on me. Aunt Wang's gratitude and excitement made me feel a little ashamed. After all, when I was taking the money, I was still hesitant about whether it was stupid to do so, and I didn't think about whether others would return it or not. But my uncle did not hesitate, just saying that it was a matter of life and death, and if he could help, he would help.

  He gave me education from childhood to adulthood and helped me whenever he could. As a result, I'm doing well in life, work, relationships, and even the spiritual realm.

  This time I encountered such a thing, initially thinking selfishly, but now I understand that it's all the same principle. What's the difference between helping people and helping ghosts? People and ghosts are both distinguished by good and evil, sometimes people are not even as kind as ghosts!

  Having thought it through, I let out a sigh and gazed at the dark flames before me. "Speak! How can I help you? Let's get one thing straight first - I'm just an ordinary person, with no power or influence to speak of."

  "Really?" Ming Yan, who was initially somewhat disheartened, became very surprised when he heard me agree to help them, and his eyes were filled with surprise, excitement, and joy. He grasped my hand, and the smile on his face seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, releasing a long-suppressed oppression.

  The moment he grasped my hand, I inexplicably felt my heart beating faster. Inexplicably taking a step back to keep distance, I said: "I've always kept my word, unlike you people, who would actually think of using such a despicable trick to threaten me."

  Glaring at the pale hands grasping mine, I swallowed my saliva. "Hey, that hurts, can you let go? You've already agreed, so don't bully me."

  His grip was really strong, who said ghosts were light and airy, my bones were almost crushed. This is still exciting, if he gets angry like this, I'd be torn apart!

  Ming Yan immediately let go of my hand and took a step back, scratching his ears and cheeks in apology.

  Just as the situation between us two was getting a bit subtle, someone suddenly fell from the rooftop, apparently quite painful, and hummed and crawled up.

  I fixed my eyes and it was actually Chang Yu! Looking up at the ceiling, when did he climb onto the roof? How come I didn't know? Taking a step back, staring at Ming Yan with wide eyes, pointing at Chang Yu who had climbed up with some excitement, in his heart he still felt a bit apprehensive. After all, he had seen Chang Yu's true form before - a huge python, it was really too frightening!

  "He, you..."

  Ming Yan frowned and rubbed his temples, looking at him with a gaze that seemed to want to strangle Chang Yu. He endured it for a while before smiling awkwardly at me. Then, he gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, probably afraid that this guy's sudden intrusion would ruin everything. With a difficult smile, he explained: "Snakes like to stay on the beams, although this is a building, he has a way, so..."

  "What's with the look? I was eavesdropping from the beam, not from outside the door, that's not against the rules. Besides, didn't Xiaoyue already agree? Right, Miss Xiaoyue?" Changyu stood in front of me with a smile.

  Rafters? Our house is a high-rise building without rafters, how did he get up there?

  His smile was really friendly, but for some reason, as soon as I met his eyes, the image of his true self would immediately appear in my mind. Then I couldn't help but shiver, and involuntarily take a step back to keep a distance.

  My unintentional action seemed to have hurt him, his smile froze on his face, and he looked at me with a very wronged expression, explaining: "Can I apologize again? I didn't think that my self-righteousness would scare you like this, and you can't accept me. I'm really not the kind of person who cultivates evil magic."

  At this time, Yuan Xue also walked through the wall from the other side of the door, with a simple gaze at Chang Yu, her hesitant eyes carried a faint smile, it seemed that she was not afraid of Chang Yu at all.

  Ming Yan was speechless from being scolded by Chang Yu, and with great effort, he pried open Chang Yu's hands to calm him down. Looking at me, he rebuked him, saying: "Who allowed you to come up with such a reckless idea on your own without discussing it with me first? Xiao Yue is a mortal, she's not like Yuan Xue. Ghosts have spiritual perception, while humans can only judge good and evil through their eyes and heart. You're showing her your terrifying side, how can she accept you immediately? This is exactly what she's like; if it were someone with low psychological endurance, they'd probably be scared out of their wits."

  Chang Yu was about to squat in the corner and draw a circle, poking her finger and asking with grievance: "You've already sold me out, why don't you even speak up for me? I really liked her aura, I didn't expect it to become like this?"

  "Unless..." Ming Yan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up and then dimmed again, shaking his head in denial, looking at me with a mixture of reluctance and pity, saying: "Forget it, let her get used to it slowly. With you acting so cute, she'll eventually accept it."

  "Soon or later? That's going to take a monkey year and month!" Chang Yu's head drooped in despair, then he glanced at Ming Yan's right hand inserted into his pocket and understood something. Despite Ming Yan's opposition, he stubbornly pulled out his right hand and spread it open, revealing a black-and-white beaded bracelet on his palm.

  It looks ordinary, but judging from Ming Yan's attitude towards this treasure, it must be extraordinary and have a very special meaning.

  Chang Yu pushed him to one side, gave him a sideways glance, then pulled Ming Yan along with him and stood respectfully in front of me, kneeling on one knee. Ming Yan held out his hands, palms up, in front of my face, lowering his head.

  Chang Yu put away his smile and mischievous look, looking at me very seriously: "Snake Immortal rarely kneels to humans, today I make an exception and kneel to you mortal. Firstly, it's to apologize for my reckless behavior, secondly, it's to help my junior brother find his master, please take him in!"
