Su Yeran repeatedly confirmed that the location was correct, looked at the empty stall, was lost for a moment, and then frowned, "Why didn't she come today? Did something happen in the interim?"

"What are we going to do? Why didn't you think of getting her phone number or address back then? Where are we going to find her now?" Yang Hongsheng, who was in a bundle of nerves, complained.

"How would I have known that her talisman works? Besides, aren't there so many crooks these days? Alas, I should have known, I should have known…" Su Yeran sighed. He was just doctoring a dead horse as if it were alive1 at that time and didn't really pin much hope. Who would have imagined that things would take a new turn?

Yang Hongsheng also knew that there was no use complaining repeatedly about it. He suddenly slapped his thighs, burning with anxiety, "We can afford to wait, but Big Brother can't. Think hard about what other clues you've got."

Su Yeran looked at Yang Hongsheng, who was filled with expectation that he would remember something, and rolled his eyes, feeling anxious and helpless too, "I've gone over my conversation with her with you in detail, how could there be any more clues?"

"I'd say you're really stupid. The master pointed out your ghostly aura, so obviously, she was a master of the highest caliber. If it were me, I'd have already asked for her contact details and address," Yang Hongsheng glared at him and gave him an utterly pitying look.

Su Yeran choked up, but cursed silently deep inside. Second Brother might have been saying that he didn't have his undiscerning eyes, but with that little girl's age and appearance, he reckoned that he'd have ignored her as a swindler. Wasn't that a normal human reaction?

Master Li and Master Yuan, who were close by and wanted to lend a hand after seeing the two anxiously searching for someone and didn't look like they were here to pick a fight, were so thrilled that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Were the talismans that the girl sold really useful?

"Ugh, okay, okay, let me think it over again." Su Yeran was also terribly anxious in his heart, and in his torment knocked his own head. He looked all over the place and on the side while pondering his options, and when he abruptly met Master Yuan and Master Li's gaze, his eyes lit up.

Chi Shuyan didn't know that while she was diligently practicing at home to draw a Ghost Ward Talisman, somebody was flying all over the place looking for her. Also, both Master Yuan and Master Li were about to collapse from the interrogation of the two young men. They usually just gossiped happily with that pleasant-looking girl, so they didn't know much about her at all. Still, Master Li racked his brain to provide a useful piece of information.

"You mean, she's a student at Ning'an First Middle School?" Su Yeran inquired.

"Yeah, that girl is usually either drawing talismans or doing her homework here. I've seen the cover of her homework book, and it says Ning'an First Middle School." Master Yuan followed suit and thought for a while, attaching a more specific piece of information, "Oh right, she seems to be from the first class of the senior class."

Su Yeran and Yang Hongsheng looked at each other, and after confirming the accuracy of the information, they quickly drove to Ning'an First Middle School's senior class. However, they found nobody. The entire class was there, but simply none of whom they were looking for.

"They couldn't have remembered incorrectly, right?" Yang Hongsheng was disappointed.

Su Yeran watched the comings and goings of the students, and the crowd surging, scratching his head, "I don't know, how are we to find her now?"

Yang Hongsheng rolled his eyes and brightened up, "I got it, we can check the students registration records." He poked at Su Yeran. "You should remember that person's face, right?"

"It's absolutely impossible to forget her," Su Yeran beat his chest to vouch for the fact that he generally never forgot anyone who looked good. Whatsmore, that little girl wasn't just good-looking.

Su Yeran and Yang Hongsheng went to the principal's office and asked to check the school's student registration records. When the principal saw the two young masters coming, he secretly considered both the powerful families behind Su Yeran and Yang Hongsheng, and he didn't dare to offend them, so he had to let them check it out.

"Found it," Su Yeran exclaimed excitedly. After searching for half the day, they finally found Chi Shuyan's student records.

Chi Shuyan was about to go out to the supermarket to buy some food when two luxury cars blocked her way in front of her house.

Su Yeran and Yang Hongsheng immediately opened the doors and got out of their cars, almost jogging all the way in front of Chi Shuyan.

"Chi… Master, do you still remember me? I bought talismans from your stall last time," Su Yeran always found it a little awkward calling a young girl, Master, as if they were crooks. After a moment of hesitation, he asked earnestly.

Chi Shuyan inspected him carefully, nodded and smiled, "Yes, I do. Your ghostly aura is almost gone, so those talismans should have been of some use, right?"

Before Su Yeran could even say a word in reply, Yang Hongsheng on the side forcibly squeezed over and nodded wildly in utter agreement. He was all smiles and ingratiatingly answered, "Useful, very useful. Master Chi, thanks to the talisman you gave me, it drove away the ghost that possessed me." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stand up these days because of the binge eating and stuffing of the ghost that had possessed him.

Chi Shuyan studied Yang Hongsheng, pointed at his eyebrows and said, "That hungry ghost that escaped seems to have marked you."

Yang Hongsheng's smile instantly stiffened and he croaked in panic, "Marked? What does Master mean? The one that got away will still be looking for me?"

Su Yeran's heart also numbed with shock. He thought they were done with chasing the ghost away, but he didn't expect that there would be a follow-up. Would he have been marked as well then?

Seeing both of them a bit scared and panic-stricken, Chi Shuyan thought to comfort them, "It's okay, it hasn't gained much attainment either. It just eats and drinks. Compared to other ghosts, its character is pretty mild and good."

Yang Hongsheng wasn't comforted at all, however, especially when he remembered the feeling of his stomach about to burst when he woke up yesterday, and the haphazard manner he stuffed himself, holding him up to the horrible picture of a three-month pregnant woman. If it had been any later, his stomach would have burst. Yet, this evil spirit was counted as a good character?

"What can we do? Master Chi, I'm the only child in my family for three generations. You can't see me dying and not save me!" In panic, Yang Hongsheng forgot his place and grasped Chi Shuyan's wrist directly. It wasn't until Chi Shuyan stared at him pulling her wrist that Yang Hongsheng reluctantly let go of her hand.

"That's easy, don't use any Protective Talismans on you for now." Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment and directly said, "Once it comes, we'll settle it once and for all."

Su Yeran also cheerfully echoed, "Exactly, Second Brother, in that case, you might as well give me your talisman first."

Yang Hongsheng hurriedly protected his talisman with both hands, akin to a virtuous woman decisively rejecting the advances of a lecher. "You wish!" Turning expectantly to Chi Shuyan, he asked, "Master, is there another way without risk?"

Chi Shuyan shook her head apathetically. "No."

Yang Hongsheng's face immediately collapsed. He was dispirited and gut-wrenchingly remorseful.
