Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing that Zhuge Xian was receiving a guest, Master Kongxin decided that he shouldn’t stay behind, so he took his leave. 

After seeing Ji Younai, Zhuge Xian’s expression turned extremely sullen. He tightly gripped the jade Buddha pendant that was hanging from his neck while chanting divine incantations. 

“Can you close it? Give me an answer.” 

Gong Siyu humphed and questioned with an overbearing and hostile gaze. 

Gong Siyu pressured him threateningly again and again. 

Zhuge Xian stared at Ji Younai for a while and frowned helplessly. He bit the bullet and gave Gong Siyu an answer.

“Young Master, I’ll have to try it before telling you if I can do it or not. Why don’t… you go back first while I chat with this lady?”

With a gloomy face, Gong Siyu was unhappy.

“What is it that you have to hide from me? Why can’t I be around?” 

“Eh! Young Master, I’m just scared of hurting this girl. Why don’t you wait outside for a while? It’ll be done in a while.” 

Gong Siyu closed the door unwillingly and went outside to wait. 

However, he was still worried because of how mysterious and peculiar Zhuge Xian was behaving. 

After ensuring that Gong Siyu was not eavesdropping outside and had gone far, far away, Zhuge Xian’s expression changed drastically! 

He was looking at Ji Younai with a sharp gaze, as if she was an evil ghost. His expression was somber, and he pulled out a yellow talisman that had a ghost-slaying incantation scribbled on it. He strode forward and pasted it on Ji Younai’s forehead, catching her off guard.

He then pointed at Ji Younai sternly with his guard up. 

“You female ghost! What’s your motive for approaching Young Master!?!” 

“Be honest, and I’ll spare your life!” 

Ji Younai was scared by Zhuge Xian’s actions, and she was like a frightened kitten. 

“I… I’m not a female ghost…”

She explained softly, sounding a little aggrieved. 

However, she also felt that the yellow talisman floating in front of her eyes was really an eyesore. She then raised her slender arm and tore it off from her forehead with her right hand.

Seeing that Ji Younai had torn off the yellow talisman, which he often brought with him, Zhuge Xian got a great shock and took a step back in horror. He then pulled out more yellow talismans from his arms. Thinking that it would be useless, he quickly walked towards the lotus Buddha statue in the hall and took out a white porcelain bottle. He pulled out the stopper and splashed the yellow talisman water at Ji Younai’s face. 

“This is a special ghost-expiating talisman water that I’ve created! The talisman has been soaked in it for 79 days! Female ghost, don’t argue!” 

Wiping the water from her face, Ji Younai was not angry, but she stomped her feet and said anxiously, “I’m really not a ghost, I have a heartbeat, and I’m breathing! Try it if you don’t believe me!”

Ji Younai was somewhat speechless, feeling that Zhuge Xian was like a conman. 

Similarly, Zhuge Xian was also dumbfounded. 

The spirit-suppressing yellow talisman did not work, neither did the yellow talisman water. 

Those were tools that he usually brought with him, which were meant for getting rid of ghosts. 

He had been serving the Gong Family for dozens of years in areas of divination. 

He was an expert in divination and Fengshui, and he was also extremely proficient in exorcising evil spirits and slaying ghosts.

Although he was not as impressive as the secretive demon-dispelling masters and psychic mediums, he was still somewhat successful and had made great attainments. Yet, his skills were useless on a little female ghost.

“Impossible! I couldn’t have been mistaken! You’re exuding an aura of death, and your lifeline has already been severed! You can’t be alive!” 

“But I’m alive!”

He was already the second person to say that she was dead, not alive.

Ji Younai was scared and anxious.

However, she had a heartbeat, and she was alive.

Why did all these people vehemently insist that I’m dead? 

In a moment of panic, Ji Younai rushed towards Zhuge Xian and extended her wrist to him, insisting that he feel the rhythm of her pulse.

“Look! I have a pulse, don’t I? I’m really alive!”

Zhuge Xian was forced to take the pulse of the girl in front of him. After a while, his eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.

“How can this be?” Flabbergasted and staring at Ji Younai in puzzlement, Zhuge Xian pinched his fingers and then asked a series of questions.

“You were born at midnight on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, during the Hungry Ghost Festival. Right?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

“Your parents were killed in a car accident over a month ago, correct?”

“How did you know?”

“You were born in a family of scholars, and ever since you were a child, you had been favored and you had a happy childhood. However, since you were born in the middle of the Hungry Ghost Festival, your Yin (negative energy) is very strong, and you are considered a ghost fetus who’s extremely ominous. You will hurt others and yourself. You’re destined to live an unfortunate life, and you have a short lifespan. You are destined to die at the age of 18. This year, you turn 18 years old. Therefore, you are already dead. This is just fate.” 

Ji Younai was infuriated. 

‘This horrendous old fogy said that I jinxed my beloved parents to death?’

She was so furious that she pasted the yellow talisman in her hand onto Zhuge Xian’s head.

She choked and yelled, “You’re babbling nonsense! I’m not dead. I did die before, but I came back to life. My parents didn’t die because of me either!” 

Zhuge Xian glowered at her and ripped off the yellow talisman before throwing it onto the ground. 

“That’s what’s strange!”

He continued, “I’ve seen all sorts of major events in my life. I’ve found the dragon bloodlines, dug up the emperor’s mausoleum, and mastered Fengshui, but I’ve never met anyone like you who wanders around like a living person, even though your lifeline has been severed and you’re already dead! You even charmed the precious and prestigious Young Master Gong into becoming oblivious! Girl, you’re becoming a demon soon, aren’t you?” 

Indeed, the gaze in Zhuge Xian’s eyes was vicious and menacing. How could he not tell that Young Master Gong favored and pampered Ji Younai?

From the moment they entered, he noticed that Gong Siyu and Ji Younai had been inseparable. 

Not only did he call her a female ghost, he even said that she was about to become a demon. 

Glaring at Zhuge Xian in exasperation, Ji Younai grabbed a teacup that had a carp painted on it, with her pale hand. She was just about to throw it at Zhuge Xian when she heard him wail.

“Madam!”

“Please don’t!”

“Stop!” 

“That teacup is a Carp Leaping Through The Dragon Gate official’s teacup from the Ming Dynasty. It’s worth tens of millions of yuan!”

“Put it down! I won’t go on anymore!” 

“Am I human then? Am I still alive?” 

Pulling a long face with a look of distress, Zhuge Xian was conflicted. He fearfully snatched his antique teacup back from Ji Younai’s hand. 

“I never lie. You’re in a really weird situation!”

“…” 

“However, I, Zhuge Xian, have been loyal to the Gong Family all my life, and there are some things that I must remind you about. Girl, the person outside the door…” Zhuge Xian darted his eyes over at the door and glanced at it.

“That Young Master Gong who brought you here is from a wealthy family that has a heritage of over a hundred years. He’s also the successor. In this life, he’s destined to live affluently while enjoying high power and authority. He is above all. Do you understand?”

“You need to stay away from him. Don’t spoil his luck. He’s not the same as you!”

He went on, “You and he can’t be together. His wife is destined to be a wealthy man’s daughter and an outstanding woman. Do you understand? Don’t put yourself through so much suffering, only to end up with nothing.”

Zhuge Xian’s advice was so harsh that Ji Younai’s heart instantly sank, and she felt depressed.

At the instant she heard that Gong Siyu’s destined wife was an outstanding woman, she actually had an inexplicable urge to burst into tears. 

She wasn’t supposed to feel concerned about that…

“Well then… do you have a solution to make me stop seeing ghosts?” 

Feeling a dull ache in her heart, Ji Younai hung her head low and asked in a soft and gentle voice.

When Zhuge Xian heard her ethereal, quiet, and gentle voice, he actually felt sympathetic towards her at one point. 

He also found Ji Younai to be pitiful, and he could not bear to be harsh to her. 

He said in a mellow voice, “I don’t know how to close the third eye as this has to be done by an expert who has psychic powers. According to what I know, in the entire Beijing, only the Feng Family can do it. However, I do have a rare treasure in my treasure room that I’ve just obtained. It might be of help to you.”
