Chapter 1416: Pretty boy

adventure, actions and ahem snu snu...

"Is that so?" Master Lai couldn't help but frown as he looked at his wife. Was this really his mistake?

While Master Lai was silently pondering on the side, Zheng Baozhi carefully peeked at Song Yan. Her eyes filled with a wariness that was easy to detect as the woman glanced at Song Yan. Song Yan pretended not to notice the woman's vigilance. She calmly said to Zheng Baozhi, "Madam Zheng, since you are injured... you shouldn't drink anything that you are allergic to, it might mess up with your medications."

"Let her die! Die! Die! Die!" Inside her Ghost Ring, Zheng Baobei screamed as she looked at the woman who had taken her life and her family from her leaning against her husband and acting as a good wife.

Zheng Baozhi had no idea that the secret that she had been hiding for so long was already up and about in the open for Song Yan. She confirmed multiple times that Song Yan was calm and collected without a shred of vigilance against her and her expression softened. She said to Song Yan, "It is not that I am not mindful of what I eat. I just like the taste of oranges and cannot help myself."

If not for Zheng Baobei eating oranges with a passion in front of Master Lai, Zheng Baozhi wouldn't have to eat them either. But that woman, though docile had a rebellious streak, she revealed small habits in front of Master Lai that Zheng Baozhi absolutely hated.

Maybe it was her own way to let Master Lai know that she was Zheng Baobei and not Zheng Baozhi.

While everyone in the ward was lost in thought, Yuan Heng arrived at the ward with a young man around the age of nineteen.

"Teacher Zheng, are you doing alright?" The man stepped inside the ward and looked at Zheng Baozhi with a worried look on his face.

"Ah, Boling. What are you doing here? Did someone tell you about my accident?" Zheng Baozhi was startled when she saw the man step inside the ward. This man was none other than Lin Bolin, her student whom she had taken in after searching for a student with a decent set of skills.

Lin Bolin was one of the few people who impressed her with his skills and she took him in as he was important to her.

Song Yan turned to look at the young man and her eyes flashed with an inexplicable glint. This young man was destined to become a great artist as he was born with skills that were better than many. Even the luck with which he was born was much better than many artists who lost their names and passion in the middle of learning and getting better.

"Master Song, this is my student Lin Bolin," sensing that the woman was looking at Lin Bolin, Zheng Baozhi introduced Lin Bolin to Song Yan. "I took him as my student a few months ago."

"It is nice to meet you," Song Yan glanced at the man who greeted her with a dash of naivety and nodded. Sensing that there were a lot of things that Lin Bolin wanted to talk about with Zheng Baozhi, she took her leave with Fu Yu Sheng following her out.

Master Lai also went with them as he was stifled after staying in the ward for so long.

Yuan Heng on the other hand noticed the reluctant look in Zheng Baozhi's eyes. The woman was still looking at Fu Yu Sheng with a wistful look in her eyes, seeing her stare at Fu Yu Sheng like that Yuan Heng felt her heart jump to her throat. What was this woman even doing?

Had she forgotten that the person who was helping her was Song Yan? Fu Yu Sheng's wife? However, she held back from saying anything too harsh to Zheng Baozhi as Lin Bolin was with her. But in her heart, she couldn't help but complain about Zheng Baozhi's change of personality. When they were young, Zheng Baozhi was willing to work hard and had a gentle temper.

Nowadays she shifted most of the work on her students and hardly made any kind of effort to perform better than she did in the past. What was more, the pieces that she was creating were mediocre at best. However, Yuan Heng did not think much of it and thought that as long as Zheng Baozhi's other personality came out, she would be able to go back to how things usually were.

She could only hope that things would turn out better in the future.

Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng returned to the ward after a few hours. As the hours ticked by, Zheng Baozhi started to get more and more nervous. She was afraid that the evil spirit would pop out at any moment. Her fingers pulled at the blanket and her knuckles turned white as she clutched the blanket.

However, as the clock struck midnight nothing happened.

Song Yan was slightly surprised when she saw this, with how much that ghost hated Zheng Baozhi, it should have appeared by now as the talismans have lost its effects but it did not. Even when she waited for hours until it turned three in the morning, Zheng Baozhi remained unscathed.

Seeing that the ghost hadn't appeared till now, Zheng Baozhi felt like she was running low on luck. She had taken out a huge piece of flesh from her heart and handed more than fifty million yuan to Song Yan, all for the sake of the malicious spirit being exorcised but that thing did not

appear.

What was she going to do if that thing didn't show up?

"Master Song, what will you do if that thing doesn't show up?" Zheng Baozhi asked with a tentative expression on her face. She was looking around the entire room as if the ghost was going to jump from the corners of the room and not her insides.

Song Yan turned to look at the woman, she glanced at the eye that was looking at her through the inside of Zheng Baozhi's throat before vanishing and her expression turned subtle. 'Very well, it seems like that thing is rather smart,' Song Yan tapped her fingers on the armrest of the couch where she was sitting, in fact, she was not surprised. Given that thing was within Zheng Baozhi, it could most probably sense the relief in Zheng Baozhi's mind and body which caused the malicious spirit to be wary of her.

If that was the case then--

"Madam Zheng, it seems like the malicious spirit will not be showing itself tonight. I have waited for more than ten hours and since you have no idea when and how the malicious spirits make it appearance, there is little to nothing that I can do," Song Yan got up from the couch as

she was going to leave.

Seeing that a woman surnamed Song was about to leave, Zheng Baozhi panicked and her face changed. She immediately said to Song Yan, "Master, can you not force that thing to show itself? I mean...wouldn't it be better for everyone?"

She looked like a desperate woman who was about to drown.

"I can but that will only agitate that thing," Song Yan answered while suppressing the twitch of her lips. It was rather amusing to see someone like Zheng Baozhi be scared for her life. This woman deserved it!

She then tilted her head and pretended to be a bit hesitant and troubled. "If that happens then I have no idea what that thing might do. Because Madam Zheng, that thing is inside you." After she was done speaking she glanced at Zheng Baozhi whose expression was twisted into an even more sinister manner. It was clear that she was not feeling guilty but annoyed at the fact that the ghost dared to haunt her.

Song Yan snorted and then took her leave with her husband.

On the other hand, Yuan Heng and Master Lai were also worried but they also felt that the things that they had told Song Yan amounted to nothing. The letter that became the cause of this situation was burned by Zheng Baozhi and she had no idea about when the malicious spirit appeared in front of her.

In fact, Zheng Baozhi knew everything but she was reluctant to tell Song Yan. She did not want to bring up the matter that the spirit haunted her in the middle of three to four am in the morning. As it was the time when Zheng Baozhi had killed her.

She was afraid if she was to tell the truth to Song Yan, that woman would find out something. But now she was heavily regretting her decision. That malicious spirit was going to make its appearance any second now and Song Yan was gone!

If she had known that things would go awry like this, she would have been a bit more honest

with Song Yan.

On the other hand, Song Yan who stepped out of the ward, turned to look at her husband and said, "Can you find the address of that pretty boy who came in the evening?"
