Chapter 2332: [ - 2342] Again, the Gu Family

Liu Tian had been waiting for some time and finally Qin Yu arrived. Liu Tian quickly welcomed him.

"Yu, why come to this unrenovated villa instead of enjoying the beautiful nightlife? Eh? Who is this old gentleman?"

"Just call him Grandpa Yang. We’re here to catch ghosts. If you’ve got the guts, follow us; if not, just give me the keys."

"Catching ghosts? Yu, stop kidding, will you? There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world."

Before his visit to the Prisoner’s Graveyard, Qin Yu didn’t believe in ghosts either, but now, he did.

Qin Yu chuckled.

"There are many things that science cannot explain. Stop the nonsense and hand over the keys."

"No need! I’ll go in with you!"

Liu Tian was not afraid of any ghosts! With a click, he opened the villa’s main gate.

As soon as the villa’s main gate was opened, Liu Tian shuddered as he felt a gust of cold air sweep through, making his scalp tingle.

"Damn it, an unrenovated house is really somewhat chilly."

To cover up his embarrassment, Liu Tian stiffened his neck and blurted out a comment.

While speaking, Liu Tian turned on his flashlight and shone it around. With the light, he felt a bit more at ease.

"Yu, where are these ghosts? Point them out to me?"

Liu Tian turned his head to look behind and then he froze!

Where were Qin Yu and the Heavenly Secret Elder behind him?

And moreover! The villa’s main gate was gone too! He seemed to be in an enclosed secret room!

Beads of sweat instantly stood out on Liu Tian’s body!

Liu Tian felt like his heart was about to jump out!

What the hell was going on?

"Yu! Don’t mess with me! Come out now!"

In the eyes of Qin Yu and the Heavenly Secret Elder, Liu Tian was just three meters in front of them, spinning in circles and shouting non-stop.

His gaze was scattered and filled with immense fear.

"Elder, can you subdue this malicious ghost?" Qin Yu’s tone was a bit somber.

"No problem, it can be subdued. It is still somewhat inferior to the Ghost King, just at the Early Stage of the Quasi-Divine Realm. Also, this is just a house foundation ghost, and generally won’t harm people outside unless someone enters the villa and gets targeted by her," the Heavenly Secret Elder took a closer look and his mind slightly relaxed.

"Please, elder, take action and capture the spirit so that I can dispel the malevolent aura within Xiaoxiao," Qin Yu requested.

"Alright."

The Heavenly Secret Elder’s expression became very solemn.

"Heavenly Secret Divination, activate the Heavenly Eye!"

The Heavenly Secret Elder passed his hand over his eyes, and a flash of light shone from them!

The Heavenly Secret Elder was able to see things that normal people couldn’t.

There was a clump of black fog next to Liu Tian, obscuring his eyesight and confusing his mind.

Behind the black fog was a very glamorous woman wearing a bright red bridal dress and red embroidered shoes, as if she were a newlywed bride.

The female ghost’s complexion was fair and she had a delicate beauty, but unfortunately, her eyes were constantly emitting black fog, ruining the overall aesthetic.

"Vile monster, surrender yourself at once, and I may still be able to enlighten you!"

"Bad people! You’re all bad people! You’re all in this together! I’ll kill you all!"

Having been discovered, the female ghost no longer concealed her form and fully revealed herself!

Upon the appearance of the female ghost, the Heavenly Secret Elder pulled out the Heavenly Secret Sect’s Heavenly Secret Ghost-Beating Whip.

With a snap, the whip lashed out a flower-like pattern, and the black fog lightened considerably.

As soon as the female ghost revealed herself, Qin Yu saw her.

Qin Yu’s pupils contracted slightly; with the Feng Shui and Physiognomy techniques from his lascivious legacy, he could tell from the female ghost’s features that she had been a very kind person during her lifetime.

How could such a person have become a fierce ghost?

Qin Yu knitted his brows.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Secret Elder swing his whip at the female ghost, Qin Yu shouted out loud.

"Senior, hold on! Spare her life!"

Hearing Qin Yu’s words, the Heavenly Secret Elder dissipated some of the power from his Ghost-Beating Whip.

With a crack!

The Heavenly Secret Ghost-Beating Whip struck the female ghost!

The female ghost let out a mournful scream, and half of the black mist surrounding her was scattered!

The female ghost was just a loose cultivator and had no idea how to utilize her Ghost Qi, how could she be a match for the experienced Heavenly Secret Elder?

This was still the Heavenly Secret Elder showing restraint; otherwise, with a single lash, the female ghost would have surely been annihilated!

"Emperor Star, why did you ask this old man to hold back?"

"Senior, the Heavenly Secret Sect should have the art of Physiognomy, right? Take a look at this female ghost’s facial features. She is not a person of great wickedness. To have fallen to such a state today, she must have been wronged.

If you were to rashly kill her, it would surely harm your virtue."

Qin Yu’s words left the Heavenly Secret Elder in a moment of surprise; he indeed knew Physiognomy.

However, when using the Heavenly Eye, one could only see ghosts and not their facial features.

The Heavenly Secret Elder ran a finger over his eyes, dispersing the Heavenly Eye.

After the Heavenly Eye was gone, the Heavenly Secret Elder could see at a glance that the female ghost’s facial features indeed did not resemble those of someone who was extremely malicious.

With an imposing face, the Heavenly Secret Elder asked, "Why have you become a malevolent ghost?"

The female ghost, frightened by the lash from the Heavenly Secret Elder, replied submissively, "Heavenly Master, I used to live here. The developers came to demolish our home, offering an absurdly low compensation, and they didn’t provide any replacement housing, so my family refused to leave.

The developers brought in bulldozers and flattened our house! Tragically, my family of six all died in their sleep!

Why, oh why? Why can the developers kill with impunity?

Why, oh why? Why do they get to make a fortune while we have to make the ultimate sacrifice?"

"But it was the developers who harmed you, so why trouble innocent people?"

The female ghost replied submissively, "To answer the Heavenly Master, at first, I just wanted to ask the residents for information about the developers.

But no sooner did they see me than they would start screaming and shouting.

And then they would flee the villa!

Later, to keep them from escaping the villa, I had no choice but to possess them!

However, these humans couldn’t withstand the force of my possession and would all faint!

I didn’t possess them to harm them but to communicate with them! I wanted to know information about the developers."

"Emperor Star, do you know anything about the developers here?" The Heavenly Secret Elder turned to look at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu shook his head slightly.

"I don’t know, but someone else might. Let me make a call and ask."

Qin Yu took out his phone and dialed Luo City Mayor Zhou Qingdong’s private number. The call was quickly connected, and Zhou Qingdong’s hearty voice came through, "Junior Brother, have you been busy lately? Why have I not been able to reach you?"

"Senior Brother, I’ve been exploring recently, and the signal was a bit rough. I call you as soon as I get back," Qin Yu replied with a chuckle.

Zhou Qingdong’s laughter was cheerful and without suspicion, "Haha, shall we meet up at Feng’s Vegetarian Hall sometime soon?"

Qin Yu agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, Senior Brother, I have something I need to ask you. Which real estate company developed East Lake Villa District?"

"East Lake Villa District? I remember that one—it was developed by the Gu Corporation’s subsidiary, Hengyuan Real Estate. Is there an issue with East Lake Villa District?"

Zhou Qingdong’s tone became more serious.

"I have a friend who’s interested in buying a house in East Lake Villa District. I just wanted to inquire about how the houses are there."

The Gu Family? Again, the Gu Family?

It seems I really do have a fate with the Gu Family!

Zhou Qingdong quickly advised, "Junior Brother, tell your friend not to buy a house in East Lake Villa District at all costs—that place is haunted!"

"Got it, I’ll let them know! Thanks, Senior Brother. Let’s meet up at Feng’s Vegetarian Hall tomorrow night."

"Sure, it’s a date."
