The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 54 Helping Zhou Tianyu Return to His Soul

Tian Sitang was a little scared. What if they went in and came back in the same state as Zhou Tianyu? Who would come to save them then?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here," Shen Wantang assured her. On the way here, the system had already activated her third eye.

[Now you can see ghosts just by looking at them?]

[That's right, as long as the host pretends not to see it, ghosts generally won't bother you.]

"Why does what you're saying sound a bit dangerous?" Shen Wantang belatedly realized, could she have fallen for this damn system's trick?!

[It's alright, host!]

"Let's go then!" Tian Sitang looked at her and chose to believe her after all.

The two girls went inside together, and not far in they saw a small red fox.

The little fox just stared straight at them.

[It's this little fox!]

"Why are there foxes here?" Tian Sitang looked around at the overgrown weeds. Besides, aren't foxes supposed to be intelligent animals?

“That’s it. Zhou Tianyu got into trouble because he was trying to help it. Now it’s probably here to help us save Tianyu, right?” Shen Wantang looked at it, guessing that since it was a spiritual animal, it must know something.

[That's right, host. Follow it and you'll find that lonely grave.]

The little fox turned and walked in one direction. Shen Wantang pulled Tian Sitang and quickly followed: "Come on, let's see where it's taking us?"

"Are we really going to trust a fox?" Tian Sitang asked doubtfully, but her feet betrayed her and quickly followed.

They finally arrived after walking for about twenty minutes.

Upon arrival, Shen Wantang froze on the spot.

"Is this the lonely grave?" Tian Sitang gripped her sleeve tightly and looked around. Zhou Tianyu must have been terrified when he came here alone, right?

【ah! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

[What's wrong with the host?!]

[I've seen a ghost! Quick, what should I do? Should I pretend I don't see it?]

[Ahem, the scenery here is really beautiful...]

[Host, your pretense is a bit too much! Stop staring at her like that!]

[Close the Heavenly Eye! Close the Heavenly Eye!!!]

[Sorry, host, this can't be turned off. ( ^w^ )]

【(;′??Д??`)】

【Does that mean I'll be able to see ghosts for the rest of my life?!】

"Wan Tang, what's wrong? Wan Tang?! Have you lost your soul?!" Tian Sitang became anxious when she realized that Wan Tang was not responding.

"Say something! Don't leave me here alone!"

"Wantang!!!" Tian Sitang shook her shoulders frantically.

Shen Wantang came to her senses: "No, it's nothing... You, never mind."

I originally wanted to ask her if she had seen an old man with white hair dressed in Republican-era clothing sitting on the monument.

But he was afraid of scaring Tian Sitang, so he didn't ask.

(Can the little girl see me?) The white-haired old ghost suddenly floated over and was in front of Shen Wantang in the blink of an eye.

Shen Wantang froze again, thinking to herself, "Ahhhhhh! A face-to-face kiss! A face-to-face kiss! I'm going to faint! I'm going to faint!"

[Don't faint! Don't faint! This old man is a good person, he just hasn't found his home yet.]

"Yes, I can see you. Did you capture a child's soul a while ago?" Shen Wantang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked quickly.

You don't even need to listen carefully; it's easy to tell that her voice is trembling.

Thankfully, the first ghost I ever saw wasn't one with severed heads or limbs, or a bloody mess.

Luckily, he was just an old man.

Shen Wantang kept reassuring herself, and her mood calmed down a lot.

(You mean him?) The white-haired old ghost waved his hand and suddenly another ghost appeared. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Zhou Tianyu's soul!

“Yes, yes, that’s him!” Shen Wantang nodded repeatedly. Zhou Tianyu’s soul looked exactly like his.

(I was just so bored back then. I never expected a little kid to come to a place like this. It's been so long since I've seen a living person.) The white-haired old ghost said somewhat embarrassedly.

His initial thought was not to leave the child on the mountain, but simply to find someone to talk to.

But unexpectedly, after the child's body returned... it went back to its original state.

I've never been here again!

He wanted to return his soul, but there was nothing he could do!

"Do you know that his life is in danger? I'm taking him back!" Shen Wantang frowned. This white-haired old ghost didn't seem bad.

(Take it back, take it back! This was indeed an accident.) Although the white-haired old ghost was reluctant, he knew he couldn't take a life.

[Host, the white-haired old ghost was once a meritorious official. After failing in a mission, he died tragically in a foreign land and was buried by kind-hearted locals, and has been here ever since.]

[Decades later, the village was relocated, but he couldn't leave and was forced to stay there forever; he was a pitiful man.]

"Wantang, who are you talking to? Tianyu? Or is it the ghost that's catching Tianyu..." Tian Sitang was terrified. She hadn't expected Shen Wantang to suddenly start talking to herself.

They must have found Zhou Tianyu's soul!

"What... is your name? Let me check and see if I can find your family so you can return to your roots." Hearing the system say this, Shen Wantang still felt a little reluctant.

The white-haired old ghost never expected that someone he had just met would want to help him return to his roots.

(Really? Little girl, I've been here for too long, I want to go back too!) The white-haired old ghost was so happy that he couldn't help but jump up!

Looking at the old woman who was like a child, Shen Wantang smiled and said, "This is all I can do for you! Tell me quickly! I don't have much time."

(My name is Ye Tian!) The white-haired old ghost watched her leave with reluctance.

Although it's uncertain whether this little girl can actually help him find his family, at least it gives him a glimmer of hope, and he can continue waiting for the next few decades.

"Have you left?" Tian Sitang was hesitant to disturb her, and didn't know who she was talking to.

Shen Wantang nodded: "Yes, let's go back!"

"But what about Tianyu?" Tian Sitang was unaware that Zhou Tianyu was already standing in front of her.

“He’s here!” Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow.

Tian Sitang looked around: "He, is he here?"

"Yeah, I'll be right behind you." Shen Wantang smiled. Zhou Tianyu standing there couldn't exactly be considered a ghost, could he?

Tian Sitang looked behind her, but of course she saw nothing: "Wantang, I'm a scaredy-cat, so don't scare me."

The two found a car soon and set off home. They arrived just as the company was closing, so they gave Zhou Nanshu and the other two a ride to the hospital.

"Isn't that Madam Ji, President Ji?" Xiang Heng watched a pink SUV speed past the company gate.

Ji Yu looked up and only saw the car's exhaust fumes. He had no idea what she had gone to do that afternoon. He wondered if she remembered the dinner party they had talked about. Just as he was thinking this, he received a text message from Shen Wantang.

(Send me the address of the restaurant, I'll be over in a bit.)
