Lu Zhu shouted in fear and then pointed in one direction.
Yu Daohan and Zhou Fu looked in the direction Lu Zhu was pointing. They saw a female ghost with a deathly pale face, disheveled hair, and bloodshot eyes staring at the three of them. The ghost’s eerie smile sent shivers down their spines.
It’s not the ghost calling out to you that’s scary, it’s the ghost smiling at you.
Zhou Fu nervously looked at Yu Daohan beside him. "Sect Leader, what do we do now?"
Yu Daohan snorted, "Let's observe the situation first. I want to see what tricks she can pull."
Zhou Fu nodded. Lu Zhu was too scared to look at Liu Shuying, whose head was sticking out of the wall.
Thus, the two humans and the ghost began to stare at each other. Gradually, Zhou Fu's eyes began to droop.
Seeing that Zhou Fu was falling asleep, Yu Daohan slammed his hand heavily on Zhou Fu's shoulder.
Zhou Fu flinched in fright. He could feel himself starting to doze off. If the Sect Leader hadn't reminded him, he would have already fallen asleep.
Yu Daohan explained, "This is your first lesson. Never stare into a female ghost's eyes, or you won't even know how you died."
Seeing that her trick had failed, Liu Shuying disappeared from the wall.
*Knock, knock, knock~*
The main door began to shake violently.
*Bang!*
With a loud bang, the door was forced open. Liu Shuying, dressed in a white dress, slowly floated in.
Lu Zhu retreated in fear. This was completely different from the Liu Shuying they had seen last time. Her skin was deathly white, her face was covered in bloodshot veins, and her hair was disheveled, making her look extremely terrifying.
Liu Shuying floated a few steps and then stopped. She raised her hand and beckoned with a sinister smile.
Zhou Fu looked at Yu Daohan beside him. "Sect Leader, this..."
"You want me to come over? Fine." Yu Daohan snorted. He then instructed Zhou Fu, "Stay here and hold the fort. Don't go out no matter what you hear."
Zhou Fu nodded. Yu Daohan drew the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword he had tucked in his thigh and handed it to Zhou Fu. "Evil spirits are cunning. Don't be fooled."
Zhou Fu took the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword and nodded heavily. "I understand, Sect Leader."
Liu Shuying also floated out slowly, and Yu Daohan followed her.
Liu Shuying was very fast, and Yu Daohan chased after her.
No matter how Yu Daohan chased, Liu Shuying maintained a certain distance, neither too close nor too far.
They ran all the way to the fields. Yu Daohan simply stopped running and started walking slowly.
Liu Shuying, who was ahead, saw that Yu Daohan had stopped running and also slowed down.
In the courtyard of the Lu Xue family, Zhou Fu was sitting by the entrance of the main hall, his eyes fixed on the open door.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Liu Shuying's figure appeared at the door.
Zhou Fu's expression changed. He then realized that Liu Shuying was using a diversion tactic. He took out his phone, found Yu Daohan's number, and called him.
On the other side.
*Ring, ring, ring.*
Yu Daohan was walking when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was Zhou Fu calling.
Yu Daohan pressed the answer button. "Hello, what's wrong, Little Lucky Star?"
Zhou Fu's voice on the other end sounded anxious. "Sect Leader, that Liu Shuying is playing a diversion tactic. She's at the door right now."
Yu Daohan coughed. "I've already realized it's a diversion tactic and I'm on my way back. Hold on."
After speaking, Yu Daohan hung up the phone, yawned, and slowly walked towards the Lu Xue family's house.
Liu Shuying, who was ahead, saw Yu Daohan intending to return and charged at him with her entire body.
Yu Daohan slowly raised his hand and condensed a wisp of golden light. Just as Liu Shuying's claws were about to pierce Yu Daohan, he suddenly slapped her chest.
Liu Shuying transformed into a handkerchief and floated in the air. Yu Daohan stretched lazily and said disdainfully, "Did you really think I didn't know you were using a diversion tactic? If I didn't want to temper that kid, I wouldn't have bothered coming out."
As Yu Daohan spoke, he took out his phone and looked at it. "Is it too early to go back now? Maybe I should sleep here for a while."
Yu Daohan thought about it and found a patch of grass to lie down on.
Inside the Lu Xue family's house.
Zhou Fu stared at Liu Shuying, who was slowly walking towards him, feeling nervous. Although he had been learning Taoism since childhood, this was his first time dealing with an evil spirit.
Zhou Fu made up his mind, took out a yellow talisman, and shot it at Liu Shuying. Then, he gripped the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword tightly and followed up, swinging the short sword to strike.
Master Su had taught him that when dealing with people or evil spirits, one must not give them a chance to breathe or retaliate. One must strike first and kill with a single blow.
Liu Shuying quickly dodged the yellow talisman Zhou Fu shot at her. However, the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword Zhou Fu swung was already heavily chopping down.
Liu Shuying had no choice but to raise her two sharp claws to block the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword that Zhou Fu was chopping at her.
With the amplification of the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword, Zhou Fu's fierce strike directly sent Liu Shuying reeling backward.
Zhou Fu did not stop at all. He swung the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword again and chopped at Liu Shuying.
Master Su had also said that when you have the upper hand, you must not let your guard down or become complacent. Striking while the iron is hot is the best strategy.
Liu Shuying was clearly no match for Zhou Fu. After a few exchanges, she was already in continuous retreat.
As he fought, Zhou Fu also marveled at how strong he had become.
It seemed he had overestimated the power of this evil spirit. However, he still couldn't afford to be careless and had to finish this quickly.
