Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser



The game ended, and the red handkerchief was still in Lu Ningwen's hand. Lu Ningwen's mind went blank.

Except for Chi Shuyan, everyone looked at each other and heaved sighs of relief. Du Zhong stared at the red handkerchief in Lu Ningwen's hand and heaved a sigh of relief. That had been close – this handkerchief might have fallen into his hands.

Fortunately, his luck was better than Lu Ningwen's.

Du Zhong was glad, and his face flushed red with excitement.

The others were happy and relieved, but some couldn't be happy, like Qi Hao, Fang Yu and Lu Wenjing, who were on good terms with Lu Ningwen. Lu Wenjing wanted to say something to Lu Ningwen, but didn't know what.

As for Fang Yu, he couldn't believe that Lu Ningwen would be so unlucky. He stared at the red handkerchief in Lu Ningwen's hand, and his left eyelid twitched. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

Although he and Lu Ningwen only had an average relationship before this, the two of them had been practically inseparable these past few days, and their relationship had improved steadily. At the thought that something might happen to Lu Ningwen tonight, how could Fang Yu sit still?

Qi Hao also couldn't sit still, and he hurriedly looked at his sister-in-law. Unfortunately, his sister-in-law didn't say a word, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

At that moment, Du Zhong said to Director Huang, "Director Huang, can everyone go back to their rooms now that the game is over?"

Director Huang was stunned for a moment and was about to say yes, when Du Zhong quickly turned to ask the Chi girl instead.

She didn't have a good impression of Du Zhong, but as the saying went, one shouldn't slap a laughing face. She nodded indifferently and said, "Of course!"

Du Zhong actually wanted to curry favor with Celestial Master Chi, but unfortunately, her face was too cold and she didn't look like she was in the mood to chat. Du Zhong couldn't step forward, for fear that he would offend her again.

Besides, he was really a little tired now. He thanked her gratefully and immediately turned around to go back to his room. However, thinking about how strange this place was, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, and he called Lu Wenjing and Song Yanru to go along.

It wasn't that Song Yanru didn't want to curry favor with Celestial Master Chi, but there were too many people around, and there were some things that weren't good to say, so she could only go back with Du Zhong.

In short, even if something really happened tonight, it wouldn't be to her. Thinking this, she heaved a sigh of relief.

When they all went back to their rooms, only Chi Shuyan, Qi Hao, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were left in the courtyard. Fang Yu really couldn't help but burst into tears. He said anxiously, "Celestial Master… Celestial Master Chi, nothing will happen to my Brother Lu tonight, right?"

Thinking of what happened to He Liuqing in the morning, Fang Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Fang Yu wasn't the only one who felt cold all over. No matter how calm Lu Ningwen was, he couldn't calm down at that moment. His face was filled with panic and fear. His fingers tightened around the red handkerchief. He pursed his lips tightly and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time. As time passed, his face grew paler and his eyes turned red. He swayed, and Qi Hao and Fang Yu hurriedly supported him.

Qi Hao really couldn't help but comfort Lu Ningwen as he hurriedly asked his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, will Brother Lu be fine?

"Sister-in-law, Brother Lu will definitely be fine, right? Sister-in-law, you're especially capable and you've killed dozens or hundreds of monsters. Why don't we let Brother Lu stay in our room tonight? Sister-in-law?" Qi Hao probed anxiously, and the corners of Chi Shuyan's mouth twitched.

Qi Hao's words ignited some hope in Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen, and they looked at her expectantly and carefully. Chi Shuyan didn't keep them in suspense and refused. "Men and women are different. I'm afraid Mr. Lu can't stay in our room."

Qi Hao obviously didn't expect his sister-in-law to refuse so decisively. If it were any other time, he definitely wouldn't let another man spend the night in the same room as his sister-in-law. If his cousin found out, wouldn't he be courting death?

But this was a matter of life and death, and Qi Hao didn't think much of it. He had a good impression of Lu Ningwen, so he naturally couldn't bear to watch something happen to him. Qi Hao hurriedly pleaded, "Sister-in-law, I beg you, can Brother Lu sleep on the couch in our room? Sister-in-law, Brother Lu is really good. He's really good. Sister-in-law, can you agree?"

As soon as Qi Hao finished speaking, Fang Yu immediately pleaded, "Celestial Master Chi, Brother Qi is right. Ningwen can sleep in the living room. Ningwen is especially, especially good!"

Lu Ningwen didn't show it on the surface, but he actually had a lot of self-esteem. At that moment, he wasn't willing to beg or have someone humbly beg for him. He did want to refuse, but when he thought of He Liuqing's tragic death, he couldn't say a word, and his face grew even more helpless, stiff and desperate.

Chi Shuyan's head hurt a little when she saw Haozi and Fang Yu begging her. She was also a bit surprised that Haozi, who had only known Lu Ningwen for a few days, could beg her so humbly on his behalf; it could be seen how charismatic Lu Ningwen was.

Seeing that Haozi was about to cry if she didn't agree, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu will be fine tonight. What are you begging me for?"

As soon as she said that, everyone thought they had misheard and were stupefied and in disbelief. Halfway through his pleading, Qi Hao stuttered and hurriedly corrected himself. "Sister… Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

In particular, Lu Ningwen's eyes turned red when he heard this. He gritted his teeth in disbelief and confusion.

Chi Shuyan took in their expressions, and her lips curved up in a gentle smile. Seeing that Lu Ningwen's face was still stiff, she also knew that the other party had probably misunderstood her refusal just now. It was rare for her to be so patient as she explained to the other party, "It's fine; nothing will happen to Mr. Lu tonight, don't worry. As for the reason why we can't stay together, it's indeed because men and women are different; plus, I'm married. Of course, it would be different if it were a special situation, but Mr. Lu will be fine tonight, so there's no need for him to stay with us. Okay, it's about time. Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest early!"
