“Eight Character Death Curse, Yin Month, Yin Day, Yin Time—no wonder this thing has been fixated on you.”
As I approached with Xiao Juan and the others, the middle-aged man holding the Scalp smiled at me and said lightly.
I furrowed my brows slightly and asked, “Who are you?”
I hadn’t seen this person at Upper Clear Academy in the past two days, yet he spoke about me as if he knew everything. It made me uncomfortable.
“Who am I?”
“Ha ha!” The middle-aged man laughed heartily. “You’re quite amusing, coming here and not knowing who I am.”
At that moment, Xiao Juan quickly whispered in my ear, “He’s Yang Teacher, Yang Yi.”
What? He’s the Yang Yi mentioned by Second Uncle?
I was a bit surprised. Wasn’t he supposed to be in seclusion?
Xiao Juan nodded and then playfully said, “Oh, Yang Teacher, look, he just got here a few days ago while you were in seclusion. It’s strange for him to recognize you!”
“Oh, Grandma Jiang, who is this kid to your granddaughter? His limbs are all twisted; truly, a girl grows up too fast!” Yang Yi teased.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Jiang couldn’t help but snort coldly and scolded Xiao Juan, then said, “Yang Yi, why are you out of seclusion?”
Mao Guoxue added, “Yeah, weren’t you supposed to be in seclusion?”
Yang Yi replied with a smile, “Still in seclusion? This thing came crashing into my room.”
As he spoke, he waved the Scalp in front of him.
“I just chased him here,” Mao Guoxue said. “I didn’t expect this thing to have such guts to come here.”
“It’s fine,” Yang Yi chuckled. “Coming here is his own doing; it’s his misfortune. Let him stay here obediently.”
With that, Yang Yi waved his hand at Mao Shiba. “Eighteen, go inside and bring me a Fellow.”
Mao Shiba smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go get it right now."
With that, he dashed into Yang Yi's room and soon emerged with a brown bottle, handing it to Yang Yi.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes; wasn't that just a bottle for Erguotou wine? It clearly stated "Erguotou Wine" on the label.
This wine was cheap, tasted like Erguotou, and didn't give you a headache. It had a mild flavor, and my friends and I often drank this kind of wine during meals.
Yet here was Mao Shiba, holding such an ordinary bottle for Yang Yi to use in his ghost act. I was truly baffled.
Is this really going to work?
Xiao Juan shot me a disdainful glance and muttered, "Look at your expression; you've clearly never seen the world."
Her words made me feel a bit embarrassed. I ignored her and pretended not to hear, eagerly watching Yang Yi. I wanted to see how he would manage to fit such a large scalp into that bottle.
Seemingly understanding my thoughts, Yang Yi smiled at me before reaching out and stuffing the scalp into the bottle's opening.
Then something strange happened: that large scalp was somehow forced into the bottle. In an instant, it transformed into a stream of air and flowed inside. Immediately afterward, he took out a talisman and sealed the bottle's opening before handing it to Mao Shiba to put away in the room.
Mao Shiba nodded and couldn't help but praise, "Uncle Yang is really impressive." He then hurriedly took the bottle to Yang Yi's room.
Zhou Zhen and Yang Yi were clearly old acquaintances. Once everything was settled, they greeted each other warmly.
Yang Yi then curiously asked Zhou Zhen why he suddenly had time to come to Jintan. Zhou Zhen didn’t hide anything and recounted my situation.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yi immediately understood and scrutinized me closely.
I felt anxious; just moments ago, Mao Guoxue had cast a spell to gather ghosts but hadn’t found any trace of Mu Yan among those wandering spirits and wild ghosts. I was extremely worried.
Seeing my worried expression, Mao Guoxue also felt helpless. After exchanging a few casual greetings with Yang Yi, he turned to me and said, "Xiao Lin, don’t worry too much. We’ll think of a way; perhaps she just stepped out for a bit and will come looking for you in a few days."
I nodded. If even Mao Guoxue and the others couldn’t do anything at the moment, all I could do was comfort myself like this.
Xiao Juan muttered somewhat gloomily, "It's just a ghost. Is there really a need to worry so much?"
I knew she meant no harm, so I chose to ignore her and didn’t take it to heart.
Then she walked over, took my hand, and said, "Lin, it's already late into the night. You should be satisfied now. Come on, I'll walk you home to sleep."
I shook my head apologetically. After all, regardless of the outcome, they had indeed kept me company all night. However, I thought it best to decline Xiao Juan's offer to walk me home.
Seeing my reluctance, Xiao Juan's expression darkened immediately. She huffed and said, "What's wrong? You don't want me to walk you home?"
I replied, "That's not what I mean. It's just that this isn't some other place; I can go back by myself."
Xiao Juan insisted, "I have to walk you."
"Damn it, this is infuriating," Mao Shiba couldn't help but grumble before storming off to bed, preferring not to see us.
I felt awkward and was about to refuse again when Grandma Jiang spoke up sharply at Xiao Juan, "Xiao Juan, what are you doing? Stay here quietly; you're not going anywhere."
"Grandma," Xiao Juan said with a look of grievance in her eyes, her tone somewhat spoiled.
"Come here," Grandma Jiang huffed again, and Xiao Juan had no choice but to reluctantly walk over to her side.
In the end, she cast a longing glance at me. When she saw I was ignoring her, she shot me a fierce glare.
I quickly moved over to Zhou Zhen and Mao Guoxue's side to thank them for their company tonight. Then I mentioned that I was feeling a bit tired and would head back to rest.
As for Zhou Zhen and the others, they stayed behind, seemingly discussing the mysterious man in black with Yang Yi.
In the following days, the mysterious man in black did not appear again.
Grandma Jiang also did not return, staying at Upper Clear Academy to search for the Zombie transformed from the Cloud Ghost General alongside Zhou Zhen, Mao Guoxue, and Yang Yi. However, there was no trace of it, as if it had vanished into thin air.
This left everyone quite puzzled.
During these few days, Mao Shiba discovered something strange. It was related to Yang Yi; the bottle that Yang Yi had sealed with runes was missing.
Initially, this did not seem like a big deal to Mao Shiba, and he didn’t think much of it. However, after seeing Yang Yi, he casually asked where the bottle had gone.
Yang Yi simply replied that he had dealt with the ghost inside it.
Yet, after spending several days together, Mao Shiba found Yang Yi to be quite peculiar. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but sometimes he felt that Yang Yi's gaze towards him was a bit odd.
It was fine when there were many people around, but when he encountered Yang Yi in a less crowded setting, that feeling intensified.
Five days later, Mao Shiba began to keep a closer eye on Yang Yi.
