A look of confusion flashed on Xiao Jingran’s face, and Mo Chen mistook it as doubt.

"Unlike your sister’s condition, you can still close your sixth sense," Mo Chen added.

If he were to use a door as an analogy, Xiao Jingran still had such a door in his eyes, currently wide open. But for Xiao Qingya, the door was completely non-existent. Hence, her permanent condition.

Xiao Jingran snapped back to reality.

Then, he heard a childish voice similar to his youngest sister, speaking in a fluent language.

[System, I am now rich! I can give you the eighty points you want, but you have to teach me how to draw talismans and deal with ghosts. How about it?] Xiao Qingya was rather excited.

Soon, a completely unfamiliar voice echoed as a response, sounding rather hesitant. [Host, are you sure you want to give me your points? You have worked hard to obtain it. I can teach you for free... It’s my responsibility.]

[I can gain points again, don’t worry. My eldest brother is really the best! The mission related to him had yielded so many points.]

Xiao Jingran was stunned into silence. System? Points? Mission? What is this voice similar to his youngest sister talking about?

He subconsciously glanced at his mother and found out she was already looking at him. She gestured at Xiao Qingya’s direction with her eyes, and then made a shushing motion.

In an instant, he understood. Their family’s little baby had another special ability.

"Jingran?" Mo Chen called out to the dazed young man.

Xiao Jingran suddenly remembered his question. He shook his head. "There is no need, Mr. Mo. I will keep this ability with me since Little Ya can also see ghosts."

Their little sister was still so small. Since he was the only one who could see and communicate with the ghosts just like her, the responsibility to take care of her automatically fell on his shoulders.

He didn’t want some wicked ghosts to take advantage of her or deceive her.

"Alright." Mo Chen nodded. He already guessed Xiao Jingran’s answer from his personality. He was a steady and responsible person.

In the afternoon, after Xiao Jingran had sufficient rest, the twins took their little sister to play, knowing that their mother needed to speak with him.

"Little Ya, are your ghost friends here?" Xiao Yuxi asked in a straightforward manner.

Xiao Qingya nodded, looking at the two ghosts who had a dazed look on their faces. She also began to feel some worry. Why is this new Master she had recognized actually so strict.

She didn’t sign herself for such a tedious, disciplined life, did she?

Mo Chen had drilled the two ghosts to stay under the scorching sun. Although it didn’t hurt them, the feeling was uncomfortable, and they had subconscious aversion to it.

"What are they doing?" Xiao Yuyan asked softly, a little apprehensive.

They still found it unbelievable that their youngest sister had acquired the ability to see and communicate with ghosts.

The existence of ghosts brought a sense of discomfort. Even if ghosts existed, it was fine when they didn’t know there were ghosts around, but now that they did, it would take a while to get used to it.

They were also worried the ghost might eavesdrop on their conversation and told the secret about Xiao Qingya’s leaked inner thoughts to her.

Only Xiao Jingran could talk to them about this and order them to keep it a secret. But first, their mother needed to explain the details to him.

"Pondering... about life," Xiao Qingya answered.

The Ling siblings were usually so chatty, gossiping about other occupants in this inn. Just this morning, they leaked the exciting love affair of a pair of twins who liked the same woman.

The woman thought the person who had gone with her to stay in this inn was her husband. As it turned out, he was her husband’s brother!

The Ling siblings excitedly retell about the scene when her husband confronted his wife and brother about it. Despite the woman’s attempt to explain, he insisted that his wife was eloping with his brother, creating a complex misunderstanding.

In the end, the woman was so angry that she passed out, and the exciting story remained unfinished.

Xiao thought that the siblings would have gone to check the continuation of this novel-like story, but they currently had this tired and wooden expression on their faces. Ghosts can also get tired, eh?

"No... pondering... about death." She immediately corrected herself. But it also still sounded wrong.

She scrunched her little face and didn’t bother to explain again. Looking at her second sister who had a flash of understanding on her face, she must have understood!

"They are here?" Xiao Yuyan wanted to make sure.

Xiao Qingya nodded.

Not far from them, Xiao Fenghao received the positive signal from the twins and heaved a sigh of relief. He entered the room where Zhou Anran and Xiao Jingran were in.

Currently, Xiao Jingran was still digesting his mother’s words, finding it unbelievable. He didn’t notice it when his second brother entered the room.

"We are living in a storybook and our family’s fate is so miserable?" Xiao Jingran’s usually calm and gentle face revealed a complicated expression.

Xiao Fenghao glanced at his eldest brother’s face and lifted his eyebrows. The fact that Xiao Jingran was the last to know gave him a strange sense of satisfaction. At least, it can be considered his win, right?

"Little Ya’s inner thoughts help us glean what will happen next and let us make preparations," Zhou Anran continued.

"We don’t know what will happen if the System or Little Ya finds out we can hear the conversation in her inner thoughts, so it’s best not to tell her for the time being."

Xiao Jingran slowly nodded, and he took a deep breath. He was a lot more calm now after he digested the information. His pale complexion added a touch of serenity in him.

He shifted his attention to Xiao Fenghao. "Am I the last to know?"

Xiao Fenghao had a proud look on his face. "Of course. We all know about it before you! In fact, we rushed over here quickly because we had heard what happened to you from her inner thoughts."

He clicked his tongue. His voice carried a sense of gloating. "Who would have thought that you would be haunted by a female ghost until you became unconscious, Eldest Brother."

Xiao Jingran wasn’t offended. Instead he smiled and pointed at the spot behind Xiao Fenghao. "Don’t say that. She might hear you."
