Chen Yang couldn’t enter, but he deduced that Shishi would be fine before turning around, intending to go home for the time being. As he walked home, he mulled over what had just happened. What was that invisible thing? Why did it attack Shishi?

 

“My paternal grandpa is an exorcist!”

 

Compass, paper talismans, exorcist, could it be that…

 

This incomparably absurd and so reasonable conjecture made Chen Yang’s metaphysical world view completely collapse. Was his sister an exorcist??

 

Chen Yang stood rooted in place and in his mind replayed the incident; what happened before and after several times over. The more he mulled about it, the more he felt that there was no more plausible explanation than the current conjuncture. He heaved a sigh and decided to have a good talk with Chen Yu when she returned home.

 

Chen Yang started walking forward again, and his eyes fell on a beige down jacket on the roadside, which was tossed on the roadside when he was chasing Chen Yu just now. Chen Yang paused and then walked over to pick it up. He then turned around and walked back to the entrance of the small courtyard of the Lou family.

 

“This is Shishi’s down jacket. Please help me bring it to her,” Chen Yang begged.

 

The guard took the jacket in Chen Yang’s hand.

 

“Also…” Chen Yang glanced at the door and said, “Please tell Shishi. I will inform our parents when I get home that she went back to school for an emergency.”

Looking at the situation, Shishi wouldn’t be able to return home tonight. To prevent their parents from worrying, Chen Yang could only help cover her tracks this way.

 

In Lou Ming’s bedroom on the second floor, the seven assistants all crowded into the room. Everyone’s brows were knitted as they looked at their Third Young Master who had frozen into ice on the bed.

 

When the evil spirit in their Third Young Master’s body began to lay dormant, his entire body functions would be frozen by the extreme cold. Although they could stand beside their young master without fear of being affected by the evil Qi, they had never wanted to see their young master in such a state.

 

“Have you contacted Master Mao?” someone asked.

 

“I just did, but Master Mao is out of town and can’t come until dawn,” another person replied.

 

“What are we going to do now?”

 

“…”

 

No one in the bedroom answered because they all knew that once their Third Young Master was in a state of dormancy, they could only wait until spring. After the beginning of spring, their young master himself would slowly awaken from his hibernation. In the interim, he could only stay asleep.

 

“Third Brother, where is Third Brother?” Chen Yu, who had finished dealing with the evil Qi, pushed the door and ran in, and then saw Lou Ming lying on the bed at a glance.

 

Chen Yu ran to the bedside and immediately sensed that something was wrong. The vital Qi on Lou Ming’s body was slowly disappearing? Chen Yu was so scared that her pupils contracted. She raised her hand to check Lou Ming’s pulse, which was so faint she could hardly feel it anymore.

 

“How could this happen?” Although the Ghost King was powerful, it was no match against her Third Brother’s evil spirit at all. Hence, he couldn’t be hurt by the Ghost King.

 

“It’s all because of you!” Cheng Peng couldn’t help but yell.

 

“Cheng Peng!” He Qi shouted heavily, “This is the Third Young Master’s own decision. No one can blame Miss Chen Yu.”

 

Cheng Peng, of course, knew that it was the Third Young Master himself who wanted to go out. However, if it wasn’t because of Chen Yu, how could the Third Young Master go out at such a sensitive time.

 

“What do you mean because of me? What is going on?” Chen Yu turned to look at the two men and asked, “Why is Third Brother’s vitality getting weaker and weaker, and why is the evil spirit on his body seemingly vanishing too?”
