The Long-awaited Mr Han

"We're here to see your boyfriend!"

"We heard you got a boyfriend, so we came to see what he's like as a person!"

A boy crossed his arms together and said, "Aside from his good looks, he seems ordinary!"

"Can you exorcise?" asked a kid.

Han Zhuofeng shook his head in an honest manner.

"Are you scared of ghosts?" asked another kid.

Han Zhuofeng nodded honestly without any hesitation.

And he was immediately despised by all the kids.

"We aren't scared of ghosts!"

"We have all seen an exorcism."

"I have helped stick talisman papers."

"I have helped summon the soul reapers."

"I have helped recite the chants."

"I have helped serve the soul reapers."

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. "…"

What did serving the soul reapers mean?

"I can't exorcize, and I'm scared of ghosts, but I accompanied Jiling to exorcize before. I have greeted the soul reapers before, and I have helped burn offerings for the soul reapers," Han Zhuofeng said, refusing to admit defeat.

In addition, he didn't think that those words were trivial because they were said by kids.

Instead, he answered the kids in a serious manner.

Xie Jiling then said, "Alright. Don't bully people. You have been learning to exorcise since young. Can he compete with you guys? He has only started dealing with it this year. He followed along while shouting that he was scared. How is that bad?"

The kids made a face at Han Zhuofeng and left.

Xie Jiling then said, "Don't take it to heart. They're just a little naughty."

"Sure." Han Zhuofeng was very expressive as he said, "It turns out that you're very popular here!"

The elders, middle-aged uncles and aunties, as well as the kids were all very interested in Xie Jiling.

"Back then, when there weren't any kids, I was the youngest. They all watched me grow up. When these kids were born, I was the one who played with them." Xie Jiling said with a smile.

"When I had to leave for B City for school, these kids cried a lot, and they were really sad that I had to leave," Xie Jiling said with a smile.

Han Zhuofeng held Xie Jiling's hand. He was really curious as to what Xie Jiling looked like when she was playing with the kids.

The kids who left didn't go back to their houses and back to their parents.

They went to see Xie Tongyun and Gu Yingsu.

Like a bunch of chatterboxes, they told the two what happened.

The kids were young, but they had exceptional memories.

They copied Han Zhuofeng's expression and tone and repeated ad verbatim every word he said to Xie Tongyun and Gu Yingsu.

"Alright. Go and get food. It's getting late." Gu Suying gave them some chocolates and candies. "Make sure to eat the sweets after the meal. Don't eat them before your meal. If you do, you won't be able to eat properly."

All the kids left, overjoyed.

Xie Tongyun could hear them chatting with each other.

"I'm going to save the sweets and eat them in front of the soul reaper uncles when we exorcize tonight. We'll make them feel hungry."

"Good idea. I will save mine as well."

"I don't have a practical class for exorcism tonight. I can't eat in front of them."

"It's alright. Just do it next time!"

"I will eat a lollipop in front of them next time!"

Xie Tongyun was speechless. "…"

He felt as though the soul reapers were being played by these kids.

After Xie Tongyun sent these kids away, he came back.

He sat down and said to Gu Yingsu, "Zhuofeng is a good boy. At least the kids like him."

If those kids didn't like him, they wouldn't have repeated Han Zhuofeng's words ad verbatim to them.

"And he didn't lie to the kids because they're young. He's quite honest and sincere," Xie Tongyun thought that it was a positive trait.

Even though his conversation partner were kids, he remained very honest.

It seemed Han Zhuofeng was a very principled man.

"You haven't even met him, but you're only saying good things about him. You even keep repeating his name." Gu Yingsu said with contempt. Even so, she still couldn't help but smile.

Because of Han Zhuofeng's attitude toward the kids, Gu Yingsu started to have a better impression of him.

She still remembered when Xie Jiling's cousin, Xie Jiyun, brought that man back.

Back then, Xie Jiling was just a kid. She led a bunch of other kids and surrounded the man.

She asked similar questions to what the kids asked tonight.

But that man thought that kids didn't know anything and could be fooled by some sweet-sounding words.

The man had no idea that the kids of the Xie Family weren't that easily fooled.

The man's behavior was completely different from Han Zhuofeng's.

Han Zhuofeng was very honest. He didn't know how to exorcize, and he was very scared of ghosts. However, he still had the desire to overcome things, and he even said that he followed along even though he had no skills and was afraid.

Therefore, Xie Jiling actually told them the truth. She hadn't been exaggerating Han Zhuofeng's image.

Gu Yingsu couldn't help but be excited to meet Han Zhuofeng.

Xie Jiwen pulled Hu Kaiyin over.

"Are they not here yet? Why is Han Zhuofeng so slow!" Xie Jiwen said with contempt.

Hu Kaiyin secretly rolled her eyes.

After that trip, she went to Yunlin Mountain with Xie Jiwen.

But for some reason, she was dragged here by Xie Jiwen again.

Xie Jiwen told her that she could enjoy her vacation at the house of the Xie Family.

The house of the Xie Family was located in the forest. This place was full of fresh air. It was away from the hustle and bustle of the world and was considered a modern-day paradise.

In addition, no one could discover the location of the Xie Family's house, and no one could disturb her.

The members of the Xie Family were always busy exorcizing, and the kids were always busy studying.

There would always be very few people around, and she would rarely be disturbed.

Moreover, the Xie Family's architecture was ancient, and the southern climate was warm and humid.

A forested mountain was right out the door. Going back to the house of the Xie Family was like going back to Jiangnan town.

When one woke up in the morning, one would hear the chirps of the insects and birds as well as the rumbling noises of the valley river.

It depicted an extremely beautiful image. The scenery was like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring.

People who were too busy in the city often wished to live a life like this.

Otherwise, those ancient cities wouldn't be so popular.

The videos of cooking done in the wild couldn't have become so popular as well.

Not to mention the peculiarity of Hu Kaiyin's job. Whenever she was at work, she would always be risking her life.

As such, she naturally loved a secluded and quiet life.

Obviously, she was convinced by Xie Jiwen's words, and she followed him here.

Xie Jiwen gave her a cottage and allowed her to stay there by herself.

He even prepared a Guqin for her. It didn't matter whether she could play the instrument or not. She could pluck it once or twice whenever she felt bored.

The courtyard was designed to be a garden.

There were streams, small waterfalls, and flowers.

There was a table and chair in the center.

Hu Kaiyin could decide how she wanted to set things up.

She could design the courtyard like it was her own house.

Hu Kaiyin fell in love with a life like this.

The place had all the amenities of the modern world, but it still had the charm and beauty of antiquity.

Whenever one woke up early in the morning, one would catch a whiff of the crisp and revitalizing scent of the nearby mountains and forests.
