1383 Ghost Cultivators Appear

ti-level underground parking lots, digging too deep naturally disturbs some things buried deep beneath the surface.Jiang Qiyun saw me shrink back, and quickly reached out to hold my hand. It was still...Before I could even get settled on the sofa, a timid voice called out from the door.

This address, "Mu student," feels too unfamiliar.

Although I'm the age of a college graduate, my university experience was more of a formality than anything else.

If it weren't for Lin Yanhuan's help, I would have been among those who dropped out.

Because of my introverted personality, I didn't have many friends during university besides Song Wei. Furthermore, the nature of my family's business made me even more reluctant to make new friends.

Even my brother, who was so outgoing and popular in school, playing on the basketball team and being the heartthrob, didn't dare to make deep connections with people. He didn't have any of those simple, genuine friends you could bring home to hang out with.

So hearing the long-lost address "Mu classmate," I was stunned -- how strange is that.

"Who are you looking for" Old Chen looked out the door warily.

"I'm... a schoolmate of Mu Tong. I have some things to discuss with her." A timid voice said from outside the door.

I walked to the side of the elaborately carved wooden frame and looked out from inside.

My small building is quite simple in structure. There are three doors at the entrance, one main door and two side doors. On the left side upon entering are counters and display shelves for antiques. On the right side, there is a small guest room separated by carved wooden screens, which is also my living room.

Then behind the counter in the northwest corner there was a computer desk, next to it was a small door leading to the backyard, and to the northeast was the staircase going up and down.

At this moment, I peered through the carved wooden railing and saw a girl with a slender frame and graceful waist standing on the steps outside the door. She looked politely at Old Chen.

Mr. Chen didn't know if you were my classmate or my brother's classmate, he glanced at me furtively.

I don't even know if this is my classmate. I basically didn't go to college properly, and I don't know many classmates. It's really embarrassing.

Mr. Chen saw me shaking my head and asked on my behalf, "Girl, which Mu student are you looking for"

"Ah... I'm looking for Mu Xia Qiao."

Lost me

Old Chen sneakily glanced at me again.

I was frowning and thinking, when she suddenly added, "Yes, it's a teacher who introduced me."

Teacher! I'm even more confused.

It seems like they're really looking for me, maybe they ran into some trouble

I walked out and took a good look at this "classmate" of mine. She was very thin, the kind of body that's popular right now: big chest, small waist, and chopsticks legs.

She was also wearing a shirt and a knee-length pencil skirt, looking very professional.

"I... I don't think I've met you before," I frowned.

She was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Are you Mu Xiaoqiao That's great! I... I... I was introduced by Teacher Xiaowang..."

Mr. Xiao Wang... My temples are throbbing.

"Well...Come in and sit." I gestured her to the living room.

Teacher Xiaowang and I are very familiar, I know most of her secrets.

She used to be a young and pretty female teacher at our school, but she had some unusual hobbies.

When she was very young, she was exposed to abnormal "abusive love" and was kept by a wealthy businessman for several years, ruining her body.

After I helped her look at the feng shui of her house, she also made up her mind to leave that kind of life. Later, she met another woman in their circle who liked abusive relationships. The two were a match made in heaven and got married. She also stopped being a teacher and asked a rich businessman for some money to buy a small house in a tourist area. The couple started running a bed and breakfast together.

Although from a monk's perspective, they engage in all sorts of vices, it's their private affair within their own home. I won't meddle in such matters; karmic burdens are theirs to bear. All I can do is encourage them to perform good deeds and strive to cultivate positive feminine virtue.

"Right, right!" The woman nodded excitedly. "She was so kind and helpful to me!"

"Oh... I haven't introduced myself yet... We're alumni, though I'm your senior. We both majored in journalism. I graduated three years earlier." The woman tousled her hair and smiled, trying to build a rapport.

I feel ashamed of myself for being a journalism student.

My classmates are all bright and shining, with active minds and sharp tongues. I, on the other hand, am dull and conservative, my brain reacts slowly, and I'm not very good at speaking.

"May I ask your name" I inquired.

"My name is Chang Jing. I got a job at the TV station right after graduation, and after three years of hard work, I'm now the host of a nightly program." She smiled, "But I just received this notice, so you probably haven't seen me on TV before."

No wonder her makeup and figure are so exquisite, she's a host.

"I'm still a newbie and junior, very nervous... I just broadcast two episodes..." she said softly.

"Are you close to Mr. Xiao Wang" I asked.

She was a little awkward and said that Mr. Xiao Wang had also taught her back then, and their teacher-student relationship was pretty good. Then, when she was traveling recently, she went to stay at Mr. Xiao Wang's place again and told him about what happened to her.

Based on my past experience, ordinary people encountering things related to ghosts and spirits generally wouldn't casually tell outsiders. The fact that she told Mr. Xiao Wang indicates their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

I looked at her suspiciously, and she blushed slightly.

"Since Ms. Xiao Wang sent you to find me, did she not tell you the rules" I asked, "If there is something you are hiding, or if it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to come to me."

Teacher Xiao Wang told me all the secrets about her interactions with wealthy businessmen on her phone back then. She was terrified by the vengeful spirit of a miscarriage and couldn't bring herself to hide anything.

Chang Jing was a little flustered. She lowered her head and whispered, "It's...nothing much...just that our competition is very fierce...Teacher Xiao Wang introduced me to a wealthy person she knew before...I followed that wealthy person for two years, and this job opportunity was also facilitated by that wealthy person."

"Romantic relationship" I raised an eyebrow slightly.

Chang Jing nodded lightly.

I'm not very keen on taking on this kind of assignment, but Teacher Xiao Wang seems to have "enthusiastically" introduced me to Changjing.

"I know, Teacher Xiao Wang said that people like you who are so noble despise this kind of life. She was also taught a lesson by you back then, which made her turn over a new leaf... But sometimes, the only things women can sacrifice are their bodies and youth," she smiled wryly.

"Everyone has their own karmic obstacles, and I'm not capable of managing too much... What brings you to seek me out" I cut to the chase.

She hurriedly told me that she'd been feeling off lately. She had gotten the host position by using some underhanded tactics, even pushing another competitor out of the way. These days, she felt a chill down her spine and in her own single apartment, she heard strange dripping noises several times.

When she got up and checked all the faucets, she didn't find any leaks.

"I'm scared... you don't know how fierce the competition is in our line of work. Before, because of the competition, my boyfriend and I almost got taken away by our rivals..." she whispered.

"Do you still have a boyfriend" I was taken aback.

She awkwardly pursed her lips and whispered, "I can't have a boyfriend"

"Ah...no...just now you said you were a mistress for a rich man, I'm a little surprised..."

This is really something else, working as a sugar baby for the wealthy while also dating a boyfriend. It's hard to judge her character.

"I suspect... someone might have cursed me, to get back at me. One day, I found burnt paper ash under the doormat outside my house!" She gripped her hands tightly in nervous anticipation.

"Mu classmate, I don't even know who to turn to for help. Luckily, Teacher Xiaowang recommended you... Can you please help me I haven't done anything wrong—"

I sighed, “Do you think only murder and arson are considered bad things Is moral corruption not a bad thing”

She blushed and lowered her head, stammering, "This... this... isn't illegal, is it..."

"Yes, there's no illegal action. Laws can only bind and protect your body. Can you seek legal help for the mental torment you're suffering now" I shook my head. "Since you don't care about karmic retribution, there's no point in coming to me with this."

Chang Jing was so flustered that she actually slid down the sofa, half-squatting and half-kneeling as she said to me, "Mu classmate, please! How much money will it take I'll give you all my savings, okay My house is really messed up. I heard that dripping sound in the middle of the night, and it almost drove me crazy—"~loving him enough to want to marry his precious daughter off to him." I retorted with a smirk.Her sister’s pale face flushed. “Don’t talk nonsense! Dad has never said anything like that!”"Come on, it...
