How could a good person get into trouble with ghosts?
Zhu Yuanyu felt that Tong Bao was not a bad person. The aura on his body was very clean, so he could not be an innocent soul seeking his life. Excluding this possibility, the biggest remaining possibility is that someone wants to deal with him.
But no matter what, since he saw it, he couldn't let this female ghost kill people in front of him - Zhu Yuanyu thought so, and raised his hand to drive away the female ghost following Tong Bao.
Unexpectedly, the female ghost seemed to know that he was not easy to mess with, so she disappeared in a flash, leaving only a soft laughter that only he could hear, which brought a bit of chill for no reason.
Tong Bao shuddered, looked back inexplicably, and murmured: "Why does it feel a little cold? Is it my imagination?"
Rubbing his arms, Tong Bao sat down on the stool. Perhaps because the female ghost left, his face looked better, at least not as pale as before.
Zhu Yuanyu poured him a cup of hot tea. He thanked him. After drinking the tea, he felt his body warm up. He exhaled and said, "I don't know what's going on. I haven't been able to sleep well these past two days. My body feels cold when I sleep, even if I cover myself with two quilts, it won’t do anything.”
As he spoke, Tong Bao couldn't help but sit closer. He felt that Zhu Yuanyu was like a big heater, exuding a warm but not hot aura all over his body, dispelling the remaining coldness in his body.
Zhu Yuanyu was thinking about something and did not notice his actions. However, three subordinates glanced at him mercilessly.
Tong Bao blushed slightly and reluctantly stepped away. He poured himself another cup of hot tea and took a few sips, trying to drive away the coldness remaining in his heart and body.
"My grandfather liked that painting very much. He praised me a few words and even my father smiled at me. He usually didn't." Seeing that no one was talking, Tong Bao started talking to himself. The son did not mention the father's fault. So he stopped talking when it came to his father.
But everyone present knew what he wanted to say. It was just that his father was strict with him and rarely smiled.
Seeing that Tong Bao was a little discouraged, Zhu Yuanyu couldn't help but pinch his cheek.
"Eh?!"
Tong Bao touched his face. Although it hurt a little, he felt suddenly better for some reason.
Looking at the foolish Tong Bao, Zhu Yuanyu suddenly felt that single-cell organisms might be invincible in some form.
In the end, Zhu Yuanyu didn't tell him until he went back. Zhu Yuanyu just secretly cast a protective spell on him - if any evil object comes close, it will rebound immediately, and the traces left behind can be followed to find the person who directed it.
To be honest, if the female ghost hadn't run away too quickly this time, maybe Zhu Yuanyu could have dealt with it on the spot.
"Master, is there anything wrong?" Qi Ao asked aloud after the others left, looking at his young master without blinking.
Zhu Yuanyu was playing with the jade pendant. Hearing Qi Ao's question, he raised his head and thought for a while and said, "There is something wrong."
Qi Ao instantly became alert and straightened his back, his whole body like a sharp sword waiting to be unsheathed.
"Don't worry, no one wants to harm you, Master or me. It's Tong Bao. He seems to have provoked someone." Zhu Yuanyu explained quickly when he saw Qi Ao looking like he was going to kill someone.
Unexpectedly, Qi Ao asked with a worried look on his face: "You want to help him, Master?" He had only known the man for a few days, and Qi Ao didn't want to get the Master into any trouble because of him.
Zhu Yuanyu was a little stunned, looked at Qi Ao and said: "It's not necessary to help, but if you encounter someone, you will have a hard conscience if you don't help."
Qi Ao was silent and pursed his lips.
Zhu Yuanyu suddenly smiled, with clear eyes and a soothing aura. He seemed to have looked into Qi Ao's heart. He said: "People have things they should do and things they shouldn't do. I just do what I should do." It’s just something.”
Seeing that Qi Ao no longer had a tense face, Zhu Yuanyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I promise you that I will never put myself in danger, so just smile."
