Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Hearing a familiar voice, Chi Shuyan followed Zhu Bocheng’s gaze and looked over. When she saw the gloomy and familiar face of the man outside the car, Chi Shuyan’s face immediately turned black, mainly because as soon as she saw the man, she thought of his solemn pronouncement last night: “Do you like me?”

She just couldn’t understand where this man’s confidence came from. Last night, she even especially reflected on whether she had done something to trigger a misunderstanding. She had thought about it for an entire night and was very sure that she hadn’t done anything to make him misunderstand. So, why did this man assume that she liked him?

Chi Shuyan’s gaze on the man outside the car changed. She couldn’t help but be glad that she had spoken very clearly at lunch yesterday, expressing that he was thinking too much.

Zhu Bocheng didn’t know about what happened between his best friend and Sister Shuyan. Seeing Zhenbai standing outside the entire time, he got out of the car and gave up his seat to him. His head was still muddled at the moment, mainly because of what Sister Shuyan had just said, which gave him too much of a shock.

Qi Zhenbai’s face grew uglier when he saw that the woman in the car didn’t move. Seeing Zhu Bocheng give up his seat, he was quite satisfied. He walked around the car and handed his car keys to Zhu Bocheng. Zhu Bocheng took the car keys and hurriedly said to Chi Shuyan, “Sister Shuyan, since Zhenbai has something to say to you, I’ll take my leave first. See you at the building.”

Chi Shuyan could only nod. “Okay!”

Qi Zhenbai got into the car. Zhu Bocheng was still curious about what Sister Shuyan had just said, so he hurriedly asked, “Sister Shuyan, is what you said true? Then, is it his sister’s family behind it?”

Zhu Bocheng couldn’t help but think of how that child had “jumped off a building.” At the thought that the various construction accidents were related to the family of the other party’s dead sister, he got goosebumps all over his body and was even more creeped out than last time.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t know about this matter, but he could guess a bit from Zhu Bocheng’s expression and words. He rolled up the car window, immediately shutting Zhu Bocheng out. Zhu Bocheng still wanted to ask, and choked for a moment after he was cut off abruptly. He found it hard to believe that this was his friend, who was formerly so calm, self-assured and distant from women! When did Zhenbai become so different and heartless?

Muttering to himself, Zhu Bocheng obediently got into the other car.

As Qi Zhenbai rolled up the window, the atmosphere in the car immediately turned strange and awkward. The two were silent, before Chi Shuyan suddenly gave an inexplicable sigh. Thinking about this man’s series of actions just now, she wondered if he really had understood her meaning last time.

Chi Shuyan felt that she had made herself very clear. Logically speaking, a regular person would certainly understand, but the man next to her differed from others in terms of his thinking and conceit. Chi Shuyan was terrified that this man would interpret her previous rejection another way, such as wanting to but resisting meeting; she really might vomit blood then.

If he brought up this topic and didn’t understand, her plan was to explain it to him properly this time, and cut off any possibility of anything happening between the two of them.

Unfortunately, he kept silent the entire time, so she naturally couldn’t be narcissistic and deliberately bring up the topic. If he threw her last words, “You’re thinking too much,” back at her, she would really dig a hole and bury herself in it.

After a while, seeing that the other party was silent, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. Her thoughts were also immersed in the matter of the building borrowing luck. She had a vague feeling that this matter wasn’t so simple.

Although the child’s father had borrowed luck, who did he look for about borrowing luck? Who told the child’s father that he could change his fate by borrowing luck? And who told him that his sister’s family’s luck was good?

From their conversation just now, the child’s father was just an ordinary person. Unless someone deliberately told him about “borrowing luck” and convinced him it was true, an ordinary person wouldn’t believe that there really was such a thing as “borrowing luck” in the world.

The two walked in silence until they were almost to their destination, when the cold man beside her finally spoke up. “I can give you another chance to consider it properly!”

Chi Shuyan was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t guard against the man’s words. For one moment, she didn’t understand his meaning, and it was only after staring blankly for a long while that she realized what “chance” he was referring to.

Qi Zhenbai went on all on his own, “I know you didn’t think it through last night; think it over these few days!”

Chi Shuyan finally couldn’t help how her lips twitched, and she immediately said, “There’s nothing to think about. My words are the same: We’re not compatible. Young Master Qi has a big family and business; I can’t climb to such heights, nor do I want to. I thought it through last night. Young Master Qi, don’t give me another chance!” I also don’t want to be a widow. Chi Shuyan silently said the last line in her heart. Even if she fell in love with someone, she had no intention of choosing a short-lived ghost.

As soon as she said the words, the man slammed on the brakes with a screech of tires. Chi Shuyan almost slipped out of her seatbelt, but a strong hand firmly grasped her shoulder. After confirming she was fine, the man turned around with a cold face and got out of the car.

Chi Shuyan: …

“Zhenbai, Sister Shuyan, you guys are here too?” Zhu Bocheng got out of the car and saw Zhenbai and Sister Shuyan getting out one after another. But why did he feel that each face was uglier than the other? Especially his best friend’s. Not only was his face black, it was as if a layer of frost covered it. That gaze of his was spine-chilling, and Zhu Bocheng immediately averted his own gossipy gaze.

Chi Shuyan didn’t spare the man next to her a glance as she said to Zhu Bocheng, “Let’s take a look at the bottom of the building this time.”

Zhu Bocheng naturally knew which building Sister Shuyan was talking about. As he led the way, he explained why his father hadn’t come. It was mainly because Yang Xinde that man was too enthusiastic now, especially toward Sister Shuyan. His father was afraid that Yang Xinde would neglect proper business, and was blocking him.

Chi Shuyan grinned. “Thank Uncle for me!”

“Speaking of gratitude, we should be the ones thanking you! Forget it, let’s not stand on ceremony. What’s my relationship with Sister Shuyan?” Zhu Bocheng said cheerfully.

By then, the three of them were already on the roof. Chi Shuyan had already felt the raging yin energy downstairs earlier. Now, standing on the roof, her eyes fell on the surrounding array formation, and she felt the raging yin energy even more, as well as the spiritual energy in her body flowing ten times faster than usual.

This was obviously a Yin Specter Luck-Borrowing Array targeted at Celestial Masters and ghosts. There was also a Hundred Ghosts Array sealed inside the borrowing array, which was tens of thousands of times more sinister than a simple borrowing array. No wonder this building was beset with problems. It was impossible for nothing to happen.

Chi Shuyan’s face grew more severe and paler.

Zhu Bocheng was an ordinary person. Although he was standing in the array, he didn’t feel anything other than a swishing cold.

As for Qi Zhenbai, he was to some extent an ordinary person, but because of the protection of the purple aura on his body, his face was the most calm.

Chi Shuyan had underestimated this insidious array formation. In addition, she had just been reborn and had less than 1% of the strength from her former life. In her previous life, breaking this array formation would have been a piece of cake, but unless she could produce a high-level talisman now, she was helpless.

“Sister Shuyan, what’s wrong?” Zhu Bocheng asked, sensing that something wasn’t right.

Chi Shuyan’s face turned paler and she bit her fingertip. She was about to draw a talisman to temporarily seal the endless murderous aura, but as soon as she mobilized the spiritual energy in her body, it was immediately drained a hundred times faster than before.

Her legs shook and she almost lost her balance. A pair of strong hands beside her suddenly gripped her wrists and the man’s deep voice rang out. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine!” Chi Shuyan’s expression was calm, but her head was in fact a mess as her gaze fell on the man in front of her.

This “Great Tonic Pill” which emitted a purple aura suddenly exploded with a scorching light.

She vaguely felt in her heart that something wasn’t right. Although she normally lusted after the “Great Tonic Pill” in front of her, she had never been this greedy, wanting it all for herself, and the greed in her heart seemed to increase non-stop.

Qi Zhenbai narrowed his eyes and faintly felt that something was off, but the woman in front of him looked too calm and he didn’t see anything wrong.

“You say you don’t like me when you actually have a crush on me?”

Zhu Bocheng coughed dryly. Without waiting for Qi Zhenbai to speak, Chi Shuyan suddenly pounced on him without a care and bit him fiercely a few times.

Zhu Bocheng was so scared that his face turned pale and his eyes almost popped out. He even forgot the fact that his best friend had expressed a favorable impression of Sister Shuyan. He just stared wide-eyed as Sister Shuyan not only pounced on Zhenbai and forced a kiss on him, but also pulled incessantly at his clothes as if she wanted to have sex in front of Zhu Bocheng in broad daylight. Qi Zhenbai’s face was incomparably stiff at the moment. He wanted to push her away, but couldn’t. His only thought after he was forcefully kissed was: This woman definitely doesn’t just have a crush on me!

Zhu Bocheng really wished he was blind.

Holy sh*t! This was too explosive!
