Chapter 90: This world is unscientific (21)
Since entering the Ding household up until Ding Gua Gua disappeared, neither Ren Zhu nor Yi Xiao appeared in front of the Ding family, because they knew that this matter didn’t require their intervention. All they had to do was to be silent bystanders, watching with a relieved smile as Ding Gua Gua slowly disappeared.
Seeing Ding Ming being rushed to the hospital accompanied by his parents to prepare for surgery, Ren Zhu suddenly said: “I feel that death isn’t scary at all. What’s scary is that even when dead, it can’t take away the desire and obsession that people have.”
“How many things in this world are brought about by this obsession?” Ren Shu slightly shook his head.
Hearing this however, an expression of disapproval appeared on Yi Xiao’s face: “Everyone has obsessions. Their thoughts will change based on their environment and what they have experienced throughout their lives. It is like meeting the devil or Buddha. Who can escape it?”
Ren Zhu thought about himself. He felt that when he died in his first life, he shouldn’t have had any obsessions. After all, he was successful and worry-free in that world. Even his death was for the sake of a student. Although he wasn’t at all satisfied with his death, at least he didn’t have any resentment or obsessions. But now? Could he still directly die without any lingering desires?
Ren Zhu asked himself quietly in his heart. Looking at the person next to him, he then silently shook his head.
No. Unless his death was in order for them to meet again in their next life, then he would certainly not accept this kind of death.
So Teacher Ren gave a rare nod: “En, everyone has obsessions.”
“Fortunately, this obsession isn’t necessarily caused by a bad thing most of the time.” Some could even give rise to an unexpected and beautiful outcome, which was barely enough to console Yi Xiao’s mood.
The following month passed smoothly. Of course, this was for Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao. As for the great ghost butler Pang Fei, he was forcefully stuffed with mouthfuls of dog food every day of the past month. The more he was fed, the more he wanted to find a cute and gentle female ghost to cultivate together, and then be reincarnated as childhood sweethearts in their next life.
However, Pang Fei discovered a fact that left him heartbroken — there wasn’t a single female ghost that was gentle or cute. If they weren’t masculine women, then they were female hoodlums. It really made a Mr Perfect ghost like him feel very distressed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, on a dark and windy night, when the distressed great butler Pang was once again fed a mouthful of dog food, he decided to go have some fun at the bar.
Anyway, there were all kinds of messy things in the night bar. This was not only the holy land for people to chase women, it also provided good opportunities for ghosts to find a target. Pang Fei sipped on the cocktail in front on him as he silently watched the people on the dance floor.
Then, a voice caught his attention.
“Hey. I say Xu San Er. Your luck has been really bad recently. I originally thought you finally flew up the branch to become a phoenix, but it seems that you can’t afford such a precious lifestyle. I heard that you were mysteriously involved in three car accidents? Hehe, I know a very powerful master. Do you want me to introduce them to you?”
This voice sounded very frivolous, and also carried a hint of ridicule. However, after he finished speaking, someone quickly retorted.
“Shut up, Yang Lao Si! No matter what you say, third brother Xu is still the only heir of the Xu conglomerate family. Moreover, his mother has officially entered the family and become Mrs Xu. Third brother Xu is now the young master of the Xu family. How can a person like you who has three older brothers above you compare to third brother Xu? Even if you are Mrs Gong’s son, you still have 3 big mountains above you.”
“You shut up! What right do you have to talk to me like that?! As a member of the Zhao family, do you not want to be able to come here anymore?”
“Do you really see yourself as some kind of big shot? You……”
.
Their dispute became louder and louder, gradually drawing the attentions of many people around them. As a result, Peng Fei could also turn around and join the group of spectators, openly watching them. Then, at a certain moment, Pang Fei frowned.
The next moment, the rope that was originally suspending a spherical neon light from the ceiling of the bar suddenly broke. The unusually heavy spherical light fell down, its speed fast and urgent, directly towards a young man underneath.
“Ah–!”
“Be careful!”
“My God, the light fell!”
The instant the light fell, it seemed like the young man below somewhat reacted. He quickly stood up and ran to the side, but no matter how fast he was, he still couldn’t beat the speed of the falling light. He alone was hit, but fortunately his head wasn’t directly smashed like a big shattered watermelon. The spherical light only slammed into his shoulder, directly fracturing his bones.
“Ah!”
This painful cry caused the hearts of the onlookers to jump. No one knew whether to say this young man was lucky or not. He could be said to be unlucky. After all, lucky people wouldn’t encounter such an unexpected pitted event. Lucky people were always the ones who could pick up a shopping card when they went out on a walk, instead of being smashed by something. But he could also be considered lucky. If his head had been smash, then would directly ascend and see God.
Someone already called 120. There were still many people watching and worrying about the young man’s condition. Judging from the clothes of these youths, so long as they weren’t a fool, they could tell that they were all young masters of wealthy families. Some people politely handed over water and tea, thinking if they could win the favour of these young masters through this act and gain a big reward.
But there were also people who had very strange expressions. They had previously heard the conversation between these young masters. Combining the contents of their conversation with what happened today, they couldn’t help but feel a little horror and fear.
“Did you provoke some dirty thing?! I just heard you guys say that you’ve been in some accidents recently?”
Xu Sen turned his head and glanced at the man who was talking, his gaze very cold. Consequently, the man shut his mouth. Even if this man felt that his guess was more or less correct, if he drew the hatred of this rich and powerful young master, then that would be very costly.
However, if there were people who didn’t dare to provoke the young master of the Xu family, then there were also people who were more than willing to provoke him to prove the power of their own family. At this moment, seeing that Xu Sen wasn’t heavily injured and just had a painful expression, Yang Lao Si couldn’t help but rejoice in his misfortune:
“I must say, your bad luck is really too terrible. If you still don’t find a master then bye bye. After 2 days, perhaps you’ll just directly die. When that time comes, even if you have gold and silver mountains, what’s the use? Wouldn’t they be better given to other small children?”
Xu Sen felt the pain in his shoulder. He was in a bad mood, and seeing Yang Si Liang say what had always been lingering in his own heart, growing bigger and bigger and causing him to be extremely worried and troubled, Xu Sen’s mood became even worse. It could even be said that he was furious. He fiercely raised his head and glared at Yang Si Liang: “If you want to experience what this feels like for yourself, then I don’t mind letting you experience it every day.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was an undisguised threat, but Yang Si Liang wasn’t scared at all. He smiled as he drank a big mouthful of wine before turning around and walking out. He waved his hand as he walked, taunting:
“If you have the ability then come at me. Are you afraid you can’t do it? I’m just afraid that after tonight, I won’t be able to see you again.”
Then, a burst of laughter came from outside the entrance. Xu Sen’s expression was as gloomy as his name. His eyes were like that of a vipers as he glared in the direction of the door before he coldly stood up and left.
This was definitely a very exciting drama. Apart from the ending being a little rushed, the other plots and turning points were all pretty well done. After Pang Fei watched the entire event, he only had this one thought. He could clearly see the black evil spirit who had cut the rope standing behind Xu Sen, its eyes scarlet red.
It was a youth who looked about 16 or 17 years old. His every move clearly displayed the amount of hatred he had for that person called Xu Sen. He retaliated and roared, wishing to swallow the life of the person in front of him. However, since the beginning, all his actions of killing were restricted, or to be more precise, they were warded off. Even Pang Fei saw it —
When that evil spirit was about to bite Xu Sen’s neck, a light green cover sudden appeared around Xu Sen’s body like a protective shield. This shield protected Xu Sen, also warding off the evil spirit.
Already agitated, when the evil spirit saw this light green barrier, he suddenly roar up to the sky in anger. People couldn’t hear his voice, nor could they touch him. It just seemed like the air conditioning had decreased by a few degrees. But Pang Fei could clearly see and hear the sadness and anger of this evil spirit.
So much so that Pang Fei also heard a sentence that he felt was quite important:
“You murderer! Even if I’m dead, I won’t let you be the heir of the Xu family!!”
Pang Fei suddenly felt that his peaceful life as a butler for the past month was quickly about to come to an end. He glanced at the evil spirit and then thought about Xu Sen’s gloomy expression. In the end, even though he’s dead, he still couldn’t hold back his curiosity. The first thing he did when he went back home in the middle of the night was to look up some information about the Xu conglomerate group and the story surrounding the heir.
The story was actually quite cliche and simple. The cliche couldn’t be described specifically, but to put it simply:
The current head of the Xu family, Xu Lao Da, didn’t like the lady that his father had arranged for him. He married her only in the interest of an alliance. Originally, they lived together in harmony, but besides this virtuous lady that his family had arranged for him, the Xu family head also met his true love outside. Perhaps even God felt that their love was extremely moving, so before they couldn’t bear to be apart from one another, the virtuous lady of the arranged marriage fell gravely ill and died. Then, the Xu family head brought his true love into the family, and that 18 year old illegitimate child became the heir.
Pang Fei scratched his head: “So, that evil spirits seems to be only 16 or 17 years old, and Xu Sen is at least already 22 or 23. What is going on?”
