Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Knocking on the Door

"What’s the meaning of this? No one inside is responding to your knocking, maybe you didn’t knock loud enough? Even they were in deep sleep, they should be able to hear it," said Song Qin when she heard that there was no response.

"Song Qin, watch your words. Xiaoxi is exhausted today, if she’s asleep and didn’t hear, that’s understandable. If she didn’t wake up, then we can discuss it further when she does," Xia Linzheng said, frowning at Song Qin’s words.

"Uncle, what should we do then?" Xia Qing asked, unhappy.

"Why do you think the ghost only found you? There are so many people in this house, why didn’t it come to us?" Xia Linzheng retorted, looking at the three of them.

"Brother, maybe the ghost is just fooling around with us first, and then will mess with others. The crucial thing now is to catch them," Xia Linsong said, looking at Xia Linzheng.

"The point is, other than you three, none of the bodyguards have seen the ghost," Li Min said, looking at them.

"Uncle, let Xia Xi come out first. Doesn’t she know about these things?" Xia Qing said with a sad face, she was genuinely scared that the female ghost would come looking for her again.

"Didn’t the bodyguard say just now that Xiaoxi is sleeping and can’t be woken up? Each room is soundproof, and there’s no way to reach her other than knocking on the door," Xia Linzheng said.

"I’ll go knock myself. You two come with me," Xia Qing stood up, pointed at two bodyguards and said. She couldn’t just sit here and wait for death, Xia Qing had to be called out.

"We’ll go with you. You two also come." Song Qin pulled Xia Linsong and pointed at two other bodyguards.

With so many people, the ghosts probably wouldn’t dare to come out.

Then, a group of seven people ran to Xia Xi’s room and knocked on the door.

"Are we going to let them cause a ruckus like this? They’re going to wake everyone," Li Min said, looking at their leaving figures and speaking to her husband.

"If we don’t let them make a fuss, they probably won’t be satisfied. And do you really think that Xia Xi is asleep, rather than purposely not coming out?" Xia Linzheng said.

"You mean, Xia Xi is deliberately avoiding us?" Li Min asked in surprise, looking at Xia Linzheng.

"Don’t underestimate her abilities. She really is capable, many people above hold her in high regard. And I have checked, Xia Xi’s masters and older martial brothers and sisters have a lot of connections," Xia Linzheng nodded and said.

"That incident tonight probably made her feel uncomfortable, so she decided not to respond. They probably won’t get any results from knocking on the door either," Li Min nodded, immediately thinking about Song Qin and Xia Qing’s attitude towards Xia Xi tonight.

"Let’s not worry about them, let’s go back to sleep. I’ve had a long day," Xia Linzheng stood up, he was truly tired today.

"Let’s go, let’s lock our door when we get back," Li Min nodded and followed him, standing up.

"You guys keep an eye on them, don’t let them wreck the place," Xia Linzheng said to the remaining four bodyguards."

"Yes, sir," the four bodyguards nodded.

Xia Linzheng took Li Min back to their room to rest.

Here, Xia Linsong, Song Qin, and Xia Qing, with four bodyguards came to Xia Qing’s door, and asked the four bodyguards to knock on the door forcefully.

But there was still no response, just like there was no one inside.

"Is Xia Xi purposely pretending not to hear? I can’t believe she couldn’t hear with all this noise," Xia Qing looked at the door with glaring eyes and gritted her teeth, feeling it was increasingly probable.
