Yan was more disappointed than me. This Heavenly Master was the only one among the Eight Great Masters who had some friendship with him. But at the critical moment, he still stood him up. His old face was as ugly as it could be.
Time is running out for other solutions. I suggest you conduct the ritual alone. If something unexpected happens, Shen Bing and I will go to the underworld together. We may find Director Cui and have a chance of survival. But thinking of Mr. Feng, I think I may not be so lucky to return to the world if I go to the underworld again.
Never mind, at worst, it would be nice for Shen Bing and I to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the underworld, haha, I laughed secretly in my heart.
After packing up my things, Lao Yan drove me to the residential area where Shen Bing lived. It was already eleven o'clock, and the buildings were basically dark, but her window was still lit. In the dark night, it was particularly eye-catching, and there was a faint sense of weirdness.
After getting off the car, I whispered to Lao Yan that there was a misunderstanding between Shen Bing and I, and asked him to take the lead and explain my purpose to her, otherwise I was afraid I would be kicked out.
Old Yan nodded. He didn't like to talk nonsense. He didn't ask what misunderstanding happened between us and walked into the building. We took the elevator to the seventh floor. I pointed to Shen Bing's door and said this was it. Old Yan pressed the doorbell. I didn't know what was going on in my mind. It seemed that I was afraid of seeing Shen Bing at this time. I dodged and hid to the side of the door.
After a while, the door opened and Shen Bing appeared at the door. She was still wearing the casual clothes she wore during the day. I couldn't help but wonder, it's so late, why didn't she change her clothes? Did she know that I would come to see her at night? Thinking of this, my heart started beating fast and I started to have wild thoughts again.
"Master Yan, do you have something to talk to me about so late at night?" Shen Bing blocked the door, looking surprised, and had no intention of letting Old Yan in.
Old Yan said with a gloomy face: "You are possessed by evil spirits, do you know that?"
"Did Xifeng tell you that? He just likes to talk nonsense..." As she spoke, she looked left and right outside the door, and when she saw me on one side, her face immediately darkened.
"Your brows are full of bad luck, that's true, he is not talking nonsense." Old Yan said in a condescending manner.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I have guests at home now." Shen Bing was still very respectful to Old Yan, but still didn't let us in.
I was moved. She had a guest at home. Could it be that bastard Gao Song? Old Yan was about to speak, but I said first, "We can't wait. After midnight, the evil spirit will attack."
She glared at me fiercely, then turned her head to look inside the house, and slipped out like a thief, pulling me aside and whispering, "Tell me honestly, did you follow us? I'm telling you, bumpkin, I don't like you, so please don't be wishful thinking, okay? It's my right to be with whoever I want, so please don't make trouble, okay?"
I immediately understood that the guest in her house was Gao Song. What did it mean that he didn't leave at this late hour? And she hit me so ruthlessly in person. My little heart immediately shattered into pieces like a fragile glass being hit by a hammer.
I really want to turn around and leave. It hurts my self-esteem so much!
But I took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look her in the eye and said, "First, I didn't follow you. Second, it's not my wishful thinking, it's you who took it for granted. Third, I'm not here to cause trouble, but to save you. This is just like when you handle a case, it's all for justice. You catch thieves, and I catch ghosts."
