My Tenant is a Female Ghost
As soon as Leng Xuanhe stepped out, Bai Zhuo returned with Yang Liu, both of them laughing together. Everyone in the private room looked at the two with curiosity. It was well-known that Leng Xuanhe, the Cold Young Master, had always liked Yang Liu and was quite protective of her. How could he tolerate Bai Zhuo, an outsider, getting so close to Yang Liu? Did they know each other beforehand?
Yang Liu seemed to be an introverted girl, feeling a bit shy under the gaze of her classmates. She smiled awkwardly at Bai Zhuo before quickly returning to her seat.
“Hey, Bai, did you fall into the toilet? Why are you back so late?”
“Mind your own business and eat your meal.”
“You!” Ge Shui Lian felt annoyed but also curious. “Hey, Bai, do you know Yang Liu?”
Bai Zhuo replied irritably, “I have a name, it’s Bai Zhuo. Do you recognize it?”
“Hmph… never mind then.”
“I didn’t know her before, but I do now. Yang Liu is a really nice girl; I like her quite a bit.”
For some reason, Ge Shui Lian felt uncomfortable hearing this from Bai Zhuo. He glanced at Yang Liu and fell silent.
A few minutes later, Leng Xuanhe returned with a boy. “Classmates, this is Gui Ye. He’s a powerful Yin-Yang Master, so everyone can enjoy the night without worry with Gui Ye around!”
“What a strange name.” “Yeah, Gui Ye? Is there really someone with the surname Gui?”
Bai Zhuo leaned closer to Ge Shui Lian and asked curiously, "What's going on? Isn't your Cold Young Master from the Yin-Yang Family? Shouldn't he be considered a yin-yang master as well? Why do you need to invite someone else?"
Ge Shui Lian couldn't stand the teasing and blushed. "What are you talking about? Who's my Cold Young Master? Stop calling him that. Although the Cold Young Master is from the Leng Family, not everyone is like me, a genius. Not everyone is born with the First Yin-Yang Eye!"
Bai Zhuo was speechless; this act was impressive, and he gave her full marks for it.
At that moment, Gui Ye spoke up. He bowed deeply to everyone present and said, "Hello everyone, I come from Japan. My name is Kagura Keiha. It is my honor to meet all of you alongside Young Master Leng. Please take care of me!" His Chinese was very fluent but had a slight foreign accent that sounded odd.
A Japanese person! The attendees began to murmur among themselves, but since he was a guest invited by Leng Xuanhe, they restrained themselves, keeping the atmosphere relatively calm. Ge Shui Lian muttered to herself, "A Japanese person? When did the Leng Family connect with Japanese yin-yang masters? And from the Kagura Family too. This is bad..."
Bai Zhuo's ears perked up, and he asked curiously, "What do you mean?" Ge Shui Lian glanced at him and replied, "While the Kagura Family isn't as renowned as the Abe Family, they are no less significant in the realm of yin-yang masters!"
"Abe? Abe Shinzo? Isn't that the current Prime Minister of Japan?"
"...What are you talking about? The Abe Family refers to the descendants of Abe no Seimei, the founder of Japanese yin-yang masters. What are you thinking? With the Ghost Festival approaching, the Leng Family quietly invited the Kagura Family... Forget it; you wouldn't understand."
"Whatever, it's not a big deal anyway!"
After Kagura Keiha joined for dinner, instead of a lull in conversation, the atmosphere became lively as everyone realized that Kagura Keiha was actually quite easy to get along with. Following the etiquette of dining in Huaxia, he raised his glass and toasted each person one by one. When it was Bai Zhuo's turn, Kagura Keiha looked him over for a moment and asked, "This friend here, my name is Kagura Keiha. What is your name?"
"Hello, my name is Bai Zhuo."
"Bai Zhuo? Hello, Bai Zhuo! You are quite an intriguing person; I can't quite read you. You bear many similarities to my sister. If I have the chance, I will bring her to meet you." After saying something strange, Kagura Keiha moved on. Ge Shui Lian grumbled under her breath, "Why does it seem like your business is everywhere?"
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone had nearly finished their meals. Since it was still early, they decided to head to the karaoke venue for a bit more fun. In fact, tonight's gathering was orchestrated entirely by Leng Xuanhe, aimed at bridging the gap between him and Yang Liu. Those in the know could tell without looking that they would give Leng Xuanhe some face, but Bai Zhuo was completely unaware! Just look at him; he had already started singing love songs with Yang Liu, completely oblivious to Leng Xuanhe's dark expression. The dozen or so people present couldn't fathom how this rustic Bai Zhuo, looking like a country bumpkin, could possibly be involved with someone like Yang Liu.
When it was Leng Xuanhe's turn to choose a song, he confidently took the microphone and said, "This one is 'Willingness,' dedicated to... the one I like!"
"Oh~" "Good!" "Cold Young Master, sing one!" The crowd cheered. Yang Liu knew that Leng Xuanhe's words were directed at her; her face turned crimson, unsure if it was from shyness or something else. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused while bystanders see clearly. Yang Liu was an introverted girl who preferred tranquility; suddenly becoming the center of attention made her very unhappy, and Bai Zhuo sitting next to her could clearly sense her discomfort.
She would rather talk to Bai Zhuo than listen to Leng Xuanhe's loud singing in front of her. The room was extremely noisy, and Yang Liu leaned close to Bai Zhuo's ear: "Bai Zhuo, my parents are very busy. If I have to invite that master every time, I feel it's not right. If I get 'haunted' again in the future, can I ask you for help?"
Bai Zhuo was more than willing to assist a beautiful girl; he leaned closer and asked loudly in her ear, "Of course... But I think your family is quite extraordinary as well. Ordinary people can't even buy talismans like yours, and that talisman has immense spiritual power—it's not something an average yin-yang master can achieve. Why not just cure your symptoms all at once?"
Yang Liu smelled delightful, especially the fragrance around her neck that Bai Zhuo could clearly detect—a unique scent reminiscent of jasmine. Her ears were sensitive; the breath from Bai Zhuo's words made her shrink back slightly, her cheeks flushed adorably. She nodded to indicate she heard him and placed her hand on his shoulder, leaning in closer to whisper loudly in his ear: "Actually, my constitution isn't a Four Pillar Yin-Yang Body but a Profound Yin Body, also known as the Nine Profound Yin Body. If it were just a Four Pillar Yin-Yang Body, I wouldn't need this talisman."
The Nine Profound Yin Body! No wonder when she went to the restroom earlier at the winery, she attracted several wandering spirits; now it all made sense. Everything has its yin and yang; even a person's Three Souls and Seven Spirits are no exception. When someone's Three Souls and Seven Spirits are all 'yin,' that person possesses a rare Nine Profound Yin Body—just like Yang Liu.
The most yin entities are what ghosts and spirits favor most; after all, they are drawn to humans too. It's truly miraculous that Yang Liu has survived until now with just one talisman and without help from any powerful beings!
