Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Granny_1

"Damn it! How can there still be such a thing!" Yang Kai immediately slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "Even if you want to set up an array for matchmaking, shouldn’t you have called Old Shu to go too?"

"Little Kai, this is Old Shu’s business, what are you getting worked up for!" Liao Yong grabbed Yang Kai and pushed him back into his seat.

Yang Kai looked at you, his voice filled with anger, "Old Shu, we’re going to see Goddess Wu right now!"

You looked at Yang Kai and smiled, "No need."

"What?" Yang Kai was stunned, and Liao Yong was also a bit dazed; they had not expected you to say that.

Wei Shuxian seemed to have anticipated your actions and expressions. He pushed his glasses up and asked, "Old Shu, are you so confident because you believe in yourself, or do you have absolute faith in Goddess Wu?"

"Both, I suppose. Mostly because I know very well what kind of girl Er Ya is. Let’s put this matter aside for now. As for that Cen Jinghua or whatever, it’s fine if he doesn’t come looking. But if he does, I’ll make him regret being born in this world."

At the end of this statement, the four people present clearly felt a chill run down their spines!

As you spoke, a piece of Talisman Paper slowly floated out from your pocket. You reached out and gently touched the Talisman Paper. It immediately shattered into pieces, scattering across the ground.

Under everyone’s gaze, a semi-transparent figure slowly floated out from the scraps of Talisman Paper.

Seeing the figure clearly, Yang Kai couldn’t help but gasp, "Oh my! Old Shu, you’re intentionally messing with us! Where did you find such a scrappy girl?"

Liao Yong took a careful look at the ghost and asked, "She, she’s not human, right?"

Wei Shuxian pushed his glasses up and said, "Indeed, she’s not human; she’s a female ghost."

You looked at the female ghost and said to her, "Please introduce yourself to everyone."

"My name is Yang Ping." Suddenly being stared at by everyone, the female ghost seemed to become somewhat timid.

"Old Shu, why would you bring a female ghost back with you for no reason? I remember you don’t have that kind of peculiar taste, right?"

As soon as Yang Kai began to speak, he got a smack from your smelly sock, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Old Shu, how many days have you not washed this sock?"

You gave Yang Kai a sideways glance and spoke to everyone, "I encountered her in the garage today. According to her, it seems there’s someone in Yuhang who takes pleasure in killing women and controlling their ghosts."

Wei Shuxian’s brows furrowed tightly, and he asked, "Where is this person? Did you notify Captain Xian?"

You shook your head slightly, "This matter is probably not so simple. You should all know Xian Qianling’s personality. If we tell her about this, she’ll immediately set up a task force and begin an investigation. But since the other party can control ghosts, I’m worried that the police will end up spooking the snake by beating the grass."

Wei Shuxian nodded lightly, "Makes sense, but how should we proceed?"

"I’ve been thinking about it on the way back. I’ve decided to first find someone to scout ahead."

"Who?" Before Yang Kai could finish his question, he realized that you and Wei Shuxian were both turning to look at him. You frowned and immediately waved your hands, "No, no, that won’t work; what if her soul gets pulled out again?"

Seeing Yang Kai’s nervous expression, you and Wei Shuxian couldn’t help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at! If you let your wives face danger alone, you wouldn’t agree either!" Yang Kai said huffily.

You stood up, put your hand on Yang Kai’s shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ll set up two Talisman Formations on her. Even if the Ghost King comes, he won’t be able to take her away!"

Reassured by your promise, Yang Kai relaxed a bit. However, he had one more request, "I want to go with her; at the very least, let her be within my line of sight. That way, I’ll feel a bit more at ease."

You and Wei Shuxian exchanged glances and saw Yang Kai’s protective expression; both of you shook your heads while laughing together. Yang Kai was usually very proactive, and this was the first time you saw him so conflicted.

"Alright, when the time comes, you and Nie Ying will show up together, and I’ll keep an eye on things from afar. We’ll try to get it done in one go; otherwise, more people will get hurt."

"Mm! This is a must." Wei Shuxian nodded vigorously.

Meanwhile, a BMW X5 was moving slowly on the winding mountain road of Xianju. After about ten minutes, the vehicle, guided by the western twilight, entered a manor built among the mountains and forests.

The manor was not large, and there was no surrounding wall; it only consisted of three villa-style houses.

The car stopped on the grass in front of a house’s door. Xi Yu got out of the car first. When she opened the front passenger door, she found that Wu Qiyi was still fast asleep.

As Xi Yu hesitated whether or not to wake Wu Qiyi, the door of the villa opened, and an elderly woman with silvery hair and a ruddy complexion came out, accompanied by two maids.

Xi Yu turned around and bowed to the elderly woman, "Xi Yu pays respects to the Owner."

The elderly woman nodded gently and asked in an even tone, "What about Er Ya?"

"Reporting to the Owner, Miss has fallen asleep."

"Hmm, after a three-hour drive, she must be somewhat fatigued."

After a moment of thought, Xi Yu looked up and said, "Miss didn’t sleep after receiving the Owner’s call last night."

"Hmph, even so, she brought it upon herself." The elderly woman huffed coldly, "I had told her long ago not to have anything to do with anyone surnamed Li, but she just wouldn’t listen and insisted on wasting time on that lad, ah, what’s his name again?"

"Reporting to the Owner, Li Muyun."

The elderly woman walked over to Xi Yu and looked up at Wu Qiyi, who lay on her side in the front passenger seat.

Seeing Wu Qiyi’s slightly haggard face, the elderly woman couldn’t help feeling pity and sighed, "This girl... her temper is just like her mother’s, stubborn. Once she sets her mind on something, not even several bulls could pull her back."

"Why are you still standing there? Come and help Miss out of the car," the elderly woman ordered the two attractively featured maids behind her.

"Yes."

Just as the two maids were about to step forward, Wu Qiyi, who heard the voices, slowly opened her drowsy eyes. She stretched slightly, turned her head to look at the elderly woman, and gave her a sweet smile, "Grandma."

The look of affection similarly spread across the old woman’s face as she smiled back, "Now that you’re awake, come on out. It’s freezing outside."

"Okay."

Wu Qiyi nodded, quickly perked up, and followed the elderly woman into the villa.

The two sat down in the living room which was decorated in a very traditional style. Wu Qiyi glanced at the surroundings and said with a smile, "I haven’t returned for two years; it feels so comforting here."

"If you like it, then stay a few more days. You, child, have always been wild-hearted. Who do you take after? Neither your mother nor I was like this," the elderly woman said as she brewed a cup of black tea for Wu Qiyi, "Here, drink some tea. Warm up and refresh yourself."

"Okay."

Wu Qiyi took the tea cup from the elderly woman with a smile and sipped it gently, praising, "The tea made by Grandma is the best, absolutely Grandmaster Level!"

"You smooth-talking girl." The elderly woman, delighted by her granddaughter’s praise, laughed heartily,

However, Wu Qiyi soon became quiet, and the atmosphere in the room started to shift.

The elderly woman looked at her and spoke calmly, "I know you have something on your mind, go ahead and speak."

Wu Qiyi took another sip of tea and looked up at the elderly woman: "Grandma, please leave this matter alone."

"What do you mean, leave it alone? You’re my granddaughter, the only close kin I have in this world. If I don’t care about you, who should I care about?"
