Chapter 132: 132: This day is exciting enough!

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry. This Master has agreed, and her condition is quite simple—she wants my little brother to apprentice under her," Zhan Jingwen said, suppressing a twinge of sorrow in his heart. "I was afraid you might think it wasn’t good for him to learn strange things, so I didn’t agree immediately."

Zhan Zhengxiao became upset upon hearing this: "You rascal, aren’t you usually quite clever? What’s there to hesitate about in such matters? If he needs to apprentice, then he should. What’s more important than your brother’s life? The Zhan Family is big and wealthy; even if your little brother doesn’t earn a penny his whole life, just saving a bit of his pocket money would enable him to live comfortably. It doesn’t matter what strange things he learns. Your mom and I have no other wishes in life; we just want you all to be safe, smooth-going, and live to a ripe old age..."

Zhan Jingwen quietly endured the scolding on the other end of the phone, occasionally responding to show he was listening.

Having talked for a while, Zhan Zhengxiao and Fu Chunxue finally relaxed after days of tension, finding calmness after the venting.

In contrast, the awkwardness set in; clearly, their eldest son brought them good news, yet they took out their recent frustrations on him, giving him a scolding.

Fu Chunxue, on behalf of her husband, apologetically promised they would take the earliest flight back.

"Alright then, when the time comes, I’ll invite the Master to the house so you can meet."

Fu Chunxue reminded once more to prepare a lavish lunch and to be courteous, as that person was Zhan Jingshu’s "savior," understand?

After hanging up, Zhan Jingwen confirmed his parents’ return flight and set an appointment with Mu Qiuniang to visit. The designated time was coincidentally Jiang Nuo’s first day back with the "Fahai Doesn’t Understand Love" crew.

When Mu Qiuniang arrived at the Zhan house in Zhan Jingwen’s car, Uncle Zhan, the butler, had just brought back Zhan Zhengxiao and Fu Chunxue from the airport. They had just sat down in the living room with a cup of hot tea not yet sipped.

Zhan Zhengxiao and Fu Chunxue were overjoyed to see their youngest son, Zhan Jingshu, looking visibly more spirited and with a healthier complexion than before they left.

"Jingshu, how have you been sleeping these days? Look at you; have you lost weight?" Fu Chunxue held her youngest son’s hand, showering him with affection as if they hadn’t seen him in years.

Zhan Jingshu was a bit helpless, "Mom, I’ve clearly gained weight."

While the motherly attentiveness was nice, it was also overwhelming. Especially since there was an overlooked second brother at home, one up, one down; how could he openly enjoy this motherly love?

So, Mother, could you balance the scales? Can’t you see Second Brother’s glare is sharp enough to stab me?

To the side, Zhan Jingmo glared indignantly at Zhan Jingshu. That’s why he thought it would be better if the little brother had died!

Humph! They are both sons, yet even after surviving a brush with death, his mother showed no concern for him. Thinking about what happened a few days ago, he broke out in a cold sweat.

That day, it wasn’t his big brother who slapped him out of the house, causing him to storm into a bar. Drunkenly deserted by his pals, he wandered bitterly.

Initially, he had intended to commit suicide, but it failed, and he encountered a female ghost?!

Oh my, a female ghost?!

His worldview shattered instantly. Wasn’t it said that matter comes before consciousness? Where did this female ghost come from? Surely it can’t be an illusion?

Yet reality proved it wasn’t an illusion. She claimed he reneged on killing his little brother and thus should die in his place, arguing she couldn’t just return empty-handed.

Although he found this price too high, and he hadn’t truly intended to kill his little brother—annoying as he was, he was still family—the ghost wasn’t negotiating. Blood needed to be spilled.

On the spot, she gripped his throat, draining his vitality.

During the struggle, he knocked off an Amulet once snatched from his little brother. Surprisingly, it housed another female ghost?!

Heaven knew how terrified he was to discover a ghost residing in an Amulet he had worn for over ten years.

The two female ghosts began fighting, with the one in the Amulet clearly outmatched by the one throttling him; but she fought desperately nonetheless. This frightened his assailant, who merely sought a meal, not a life-and-death struggle. Sensing the tide turning, she fled with him.

The female ghost in the Amulet didn’t pursue; where she went, he didn’t know, only that the stranglehold ghost somehow fell mid-flight.

He was too petrified to even scream. Damn it! Falling to one’s death was such a horrifying thought?!

In that moment, he regretted having ever considered jumping off a building. Had he known falling to death was this terrifying, he’d have opted for sleeping pills, perhaps sparing himself these calamities.

Perhaps it was his unyielding fate that allowed him to land on someone’s balcony, clutching a man’s leg in a plea: "Help!"

Truthfully, he didn’t know if this man could handle the female ghost, nor did he want to burden him. But the guy was really something, instantly taking out a red bracelet and driving the ghost away?!

Zhan Jingmo fainted with relief. He thought: Thanks, buddy!

Later, upon waking, his savior was not too pleased to have saved him; he directly asked for his name, his home phone number, and after a call, abandoned him at a hotel to wait for family pickup.

It’s like bad luck hung over him; during that brief time, he also encountered an extremely vicious kidnapping.

Bloody hell!

He must be jinxed. They stuffed him in a rundown minivan.

And then, drama struck again. Just as the kidnappers were about to drive off, they were caught by his family’s bodyguards searching nearby; he felt victorious once more.

Zhan Jingmo could only say: even a movie isn’t this thrilling; this day and night were intense!

One delightful thing was that after returning, his big brother Zhan Jingwen’s attitude changed noticeably—he was exceedingly caring, always consulting doctors for a full body check-up or having a nutritionist prepare meals, even arranging for advanced medical care.

Moreover, his big brother solemnly apologized to him: "I’m sorry!"

Newly escaped from danger, Zhan Jingmo was stunned, having no immediate reaction: why was his big brother apologizing to him all of a sudden?

"B-Brother..." Zhan Jingmo’s voice shook a little.

Indeed, he was frightened by his big brother. Normally overlooked or treated coldly, this unprompted apology was startling.
