Chapter 90: Chapter 90: She Can See Ghosts!

The ghostly woman had just returned from gathering information for Xiao Qingya. The little one was curious what kind of punishment the innkeeper had given to the young worker girl.

The innkeeper had kicked her out.

Although the ghostly woman couldn’t stay too far from Xiao Jingran, she could still roam around the inn area.

When the young man in white robes went over to her side, she was busy conversing with the ghostly woman through telepathy. Hence, his presence and question had shocked her so much she instinctively jumped and stepped back, her eyes wide.

"Mo Chen, don’t scare her." Physician Bai gave him a disapproving look, yet his curious eyes flashed over Xiao Qingya.

Xiao Qingya swallowed and ran toward her mother, burying her head in Zhou Anran’s lap.

She could feel that this young man in white robes was not a simple person despite his gentle yet cold countenance. He looked to be a young man in his mid twenties, but he already gave off such a profound feeling.

Compared to Taoist Master Pan, the difference was akin to heaven and earth.

[Should I just tell them the truth?] Xiao Qingya wondered.

This wasn’t in the plot, so it should be allowed, right? She also had come to learn how the restriction worked. As long as they had passed the event, she could speak of it.

[Little Ya, considering all of the circumstances, do you think it’s more beneficial if you tell them the truth?] The System told her.

Xiao Qingya pondered over it. The System’s words made sense. They would regard her as a genius, possessing some kind of talent for taoist path.

It would be easier to explain if she obtained more strange items in the future, right?

[Ahem, your words are reasonable, System.]

With that, she lifted her head, leaning against her mother as if nothing happened. She blinked, her eyes lively and full of innocence, pretending to be oblivious of the people’s surprised stare.

Zhou Anran hugged her little daughter. "This gentleman... Mr. Mo, what do your words mean?"

She scrutinized Mo Chen’s face, and luckily, although he seemed to possess some skills, he couldn’t hear Xiao Qingya’s leaked inner thoughts.

Mo Chen stared at Xiao Qingya, who was avoiding looking at him. A flicker of amusement gathered in his eyes. Then, he turned his attention to Zhou Anran. "Your daughter seems to be fated with the path of Taoism."

"You can see the woman in white, can’t you?" Mo Chen approached Xiao Qingya again, taking out something from his pouch.

He held it out in front of her. "Do you like it?"

Xiao Qingya’s eyes slowly landed on the item. The disinterested look on her face morphed into surprise. Her eyes lit up.

It was a jade pendant. Even if one wasn’t knowledgeable, they could see that the jade pendant was of a high quality with just one glance. The thing must have been expensive.

Xiao Qingya looked at her mother, letting her decide.

Zhou Anran pursed her lips and hugged Xiao Qingya tighter, shaking her head. "Mr. Mo, this is too valuable."

His lips pulled up into a thin smile. "This is just a small jade protective pendant. I still have a few and easily make more. Consider it a meeting gift from me."

With that, he stuffed the jade pendant into Xiao Qingya’s hands and took a step back. The little one realized that this person was actually trying to bribe her.

However, seeing the sparkling pretty jade pendant, she gripped it tighter. She... accepted the bribery.

"So, little one, did you see that woman?" Mo Chen pointed to the ghostly woman again, whose face seemed to be terrified.

Xiao Qingya never thought that a ghost’s countenance could become paler. Ling Yu, the ghost woman... was actually baring her teeth at Mo Chen menacingly.

For Xiao Qingya who had her eyesight filtered for ghosts, Ling Yu didn’t seem scary. She merely looked like a pale woman showing off her teeth. However, her real look might be grotesque and terrifying for Mo Chen.

[Host, Ling Yu looks scary, so don’t take off your obscured ghost vision. She must have sensed that Mo Chen is a threat to her.] The System warned.

Xiao Qingya inwardly nodded obediently. She didn’t forget to answer Mo Chen’s question. "I can."

At this moment, she realized that Mo Chen might be able to help her eldest brother, so she decided to be kinder and more truthful, willing to cooperate.

Xiao Yuxi was the most enthusiastic. She was happy her little sister finally decided to openly admit her ability.

She went over and picked her up. "Little Ya, you can see ghosts?!"

However, soon, her enthusiasm turned into concern. "Ghosts are scary, right? Little Ya, are you scared?"

The little one was so terrified earlier when the ghost woman called Ling Yu appeared. Alas, even if they knew about it, they couldn’t openly comfort or help her.

Xiao Qingya thought about it, a little happy that her eldest sister was helping her to explain things. "Not scary."

Mo Chen had a thoughtful look on his face. He pointed at Ling Yu, whose grotesque appearance was enveloped in an aura of resentment.

The moment he entered the door, he actually could feel that the ghost was calm. It also looked as if she was communicating with the little one.

It was only after the ghost woman saw him, regarding him as a threat that she began to bare her fangs. The resentment in her also surged forth.

This little one... didn’t seem to be affected by the resentful aura at all. The ghost woman even acted like a normal human around her...

Physician Bai couldn’t help but interject. He cleared his throat. "Mo Chen, can you help my disciple?"

He could also see that this young, talented taoist also seemed to have taken a liking to the Xiao family’s youngest daughter. Alas, she was still too young and probably hasn’t been weaned yet.

Her family probably wouldn’t let him take her in as his disciple.

"I can," Mo Chen answered, and Physician Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, Mo Chen turned to Xiao Qingya. His eyes glinted. "Little girl, do you want to save your brother? Shall we deal with this troublesome ghost?"
