Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Zhenbai, Your Wife Is Here!

When Boss Yang heard this, his face changed drastically and he became depressed and anxious. “What the hell is this? Not only adults, but children are also jumping off buildings now. They’re already learning not to be good when they’re so young.”

Although Boss Yang complained, he had to rush over, and the others followed him to the scene.

A lot of people had already gathered. Rescue workers and psychologists were also trying to persuade the child, and police cars were also rushing over.

Boss Yang looked at the floor that the child was on and panicked. That was the eighth floor. If this child took another step forward, Boss Yang’s construction company was finished.

He hurriedly looked at Celestial Master Zhang next to him, grabbed his sleeve, and said anxiously, “Celestial Master Zhang, hurry and think of something. You mustn’t let anything happen to that child; otherwise, what will happen to this land of mine?”

Cold sweat broke out on Celestial Master Zhang’s forehead. Looking at the high floor, he did his best to maintain his sage-like image. Racking his brain, he consoled Boss Yang. “Boss Yang, life and death happen all the time. We can only leave it to fate.”

Boss Yang frowned and let go of Celestial Master Zhang’s sleeve, his eyes filled with doubts. Who had the patience to listen to this now? What he needed was a solution. Boss Yang, who was about to curse out loud, suddenly heard a clear and calm female voice behind him. He turned his head and realized it was the Celestial Master whom Zhu Hongyi had brought over.

Only then did he realize that compared with the flustered person next to him, this girl was very calm and unruffled. Looking at her face, Yang Xinde also calmed down a bit. There was no use being anxious now.

“Uncle, can you find someone in the know and ask if this child has an older sister? Also, does this child’s father have an older sister too?” Chi Shuyan raised her head and narrowed her eyes in concentration as she spoke to Father Zhu.

Father Zhu didn’t understand what Chi Shuyan was going to do and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t ask any more questions and immediately asked around.

After a while, however, Zhu Hongyi came back with a strange look on his face. “Master Chi, you were right. That child and his father indeed both have older sisters. His father’s sister has passed away. As for the child’s sister, she usually gets along with him pretty well. Can it be that this child jumping has something to do with his sister?”

The corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth pulled up in a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes, which were icy cold. She shook her head and said, “It has nothing to do with the child’s sister, but it has a lot to do with his father’s sister.”

Zhu Hongyi was even more confused now, and still thought that this kid jumping had to do with his sister.

When Yang Xinde heard their conversation, a chill suddenly rose up from the bottoms of his feet and his neck turned cold. This piece of land had been bought from the child’s father, so he knew the child’s family situation very well.

But how did this girl know all this, and why did she suddenly bring up the father’s sister, Zheng Yingjie, who died many years ago? Was it Sister Zheng Yingjie who had been haunting this land all this time?

“Oh my god, he’s going to jump, he’s going to jump!” The crowd saw the child leaning forward and was in an uproar. Even Yang Xinde, who had calmed down a little, had his heart in his throat, and he was scared out of his wits.

The child on the tall building looked terrified and tired, but his body gradually tilted as his hands looked like they were trying to grab at or push something away behind him. He completely ignored the psychologists on the side, as if he couldn’t hear them.

“Sister Shuyan, it looks like those psychologists are no use. Do you have any ideas?” On the side, Zhu Bocheng’s voice trembled nervously at the thought of the imminent scene. In fact, he didn’t know if she could do anything. After all, Chi Shuyan was a Celestial Master, not a Daoist Immortal.

“It would be strange if they were any use. He’s not the one who wants to jump. A little ghost is pushing him from behind,” Chi Shuyan said. She pondered for a while and frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over.

When Yang Xinde heard Chi Shuyan’s words, he looked at how the child was leaning forward slowly, as if someone really was pushing him from behind. His eyes instantly widened. Why did this child’s jumping posture look so strange?! All at once, he felt his hair stand on end.

Zhu Bocheng and Father Zhu also felt their blood run cold when they heard Chi Shuyan.

“Rubbish! Don’t mislead people with lies!” Celestial Master Zhang couldn’t help but reprimand Chi Shuyan when he heard her.

Chi Shuyan didn’t even bother to look at him. She took out a yellow piece of paper from her chest pocket, bit her fingertip, lowered her head, and drew stroke after stroke.

“He’s going to fall!” Seeing the child fall, Father Zhu couldn’t help but cry out in horror. The way the child was falling was too strange. The bottom was filled with concrete and steel. If he fell, his head would definitely be smashed open.

By then, Chi Shuyan had already drawn a talisman on the paper with her blood in one go, and when she finished the last stroke, a faint golden light flashed. Picking up the talisman, she threw it in the child’s direction.

Her slight action didn’t draw as much attention as the child jumping off the building, so only Father Zhu and the few others next to Chi Shuyan saw it. Even Yang Xinde saw it clearly.

Yang Xinde watched as Chi Shuyan gently waved her hand and the yellow talisman in her hand instantly disappeared, before an inconspicuous golden light struck the child.

Sure enough, after her small move, he realized that the falling child was slowing down, and his clothes got caught directly on a windowsill on the second floor. With this loss in momentum, the child landed in the middle of the large inflatable cushion.

The child landed on the inflatable cushion and was dazed for a moment, before he quickly started to bawl. “Sob… It’s a ghost, a ghost!”

Yang Xinde looked at the child crying energetically and saw that he wasn’t hurt at all. He then stared blankly at the little girl across from him whom he had doubted earlier.

He had seen the child fall from the eighth floor with his own eyes. A normal person would have suffered a serious injury or fracture if they fell from the second floor, let alone the eighth floor. But this little girl casually waved a hand, and the child was unscathed.

Godly, this was too godly!

Yang Xinde’s face flushed red with excitement. He turned around and was about to settle scores with the swindler, when he saw that there was no one beside him. Celestial Master Zhang, who had spoken very righteously, was long gone.

Yang Xinde was distressed and bitter. Recalling how he had offended a true Celestial Master in favor of a fake swindler, his intestines turned green.

He was afraid that this little girl would bear a grudge. While he was struggling over whether to approach her or not, who would have thought that she would give a Peace Talisman to the child and then leave?

Father Zhu and Zhu Bocheng both sighed with relief. The way they looked at Chi Shuyan was different once more. Father Zhu’s eyes in particular glowed.

After all, unlike Zhu Bocheng, who had experienced it for himself, most of what Father Zhu knew was just based on what his son said. Now, however, he could really sense how powerful his son’s friend was. He really saw her as a Celestial Master now, and his face was full of awe and admiration.

Zhu Bocheng quickly noticed that Chi Shuyan didn’t look well. Her face was as white as paper and her lips were pale. He quickly supported her and asked, “Sister Shuyan, what’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

Chi Shuyan nodded and said nothing. This place was too evil. While drawing a talisman did require a lot of spiritual energy, it shouldn’t be to this extent. While she was drawing the talisman, she kept feeling like something was sucking away her spiritual energy endlessly.

Moreover, the yin energy in this place was too strong, and muddled her mind a little.

“I’m fine. It’s just that there’s a borrowing array filled with yin energy down there. I’ll be fine after I go back and have a nap. Better have someone send the child back first,” Chi Shuyan said.

“I’ll go take a look!” At Chi Shuyan’s words, Father Zhu was finally relieved. Looking at his son holding Chi Shuyan, a thought struck him and he was overjoyed. Somehow, he felt that this might be a good opportunity. He repeatedly instructed his son to take good care of her before he left.

Contrary to Father Zhu’s good mood, Qi Zhenbai, who was leaning on the front of a car not far away, narrowed his deep, phoenix eyes. His gaze was so sharp that Zhu Bocheng, who was facing him, felt his heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly sucked up to him. “Zhenbai, your wife is here!”
