827 Scared Me To Death (2/2)

Wang Qian dragged Wan'er and walked over to a denser part of the forest. She clearly did not want Mo Wen to know what she had to say. Wan'er was curious, but she did not refuse. She looked at Mo Wen apologetically and followed Wang Qian over.

”What? You say Big Brother Mo is not a person, but a ghost?” Wan'er said in astonishment. Her eyes were wide open, and she wore a look of disbelief.

”If he is not a ghost, how do you explain what happened just now? You've been gathering herbs for so many years. You know that no matter how incredible someone is, it is impossible for them to know the exact position of medicinal herbs without looking. Just now, the stalk of ginseng that you dug up was thirty meters away. We did not go over at all. How could Mo Wen possibly know that there was ginseng there? Could it be that he knew it from birth?” Wang Qian said with an ugly expression. It was the first time she had encountered such a bizarre incident.

”That's true. However, that does not mean that Big Brother Mo is a ghost. He might be using some method that we do not know about.” Wan'er did not believe that Mo Wen was a ghost.

”Aside from being a ghost, what other methods allow you to see what cannot be seen? Even the sect leader cannot do such a thing. Rumor has it that ghosts can see things underground that we cannot see. How could the others be unable to dig up that zhu ling and ginseng, but he knew so clearly where they were? He must have seen it with his own eyes. You tell me, aside from ghosts, who else can see what is underground?”

”Even if Big Brother Mo is a ghost, he is a friendly ghost.” Wan'er seemed less sure of herself. It was as though there was really such a thing. However, she still stood her ground. Big Brother Mo had not harmed anyone.

”Wan'er, don't be foolish. Will a ghost tell you whether he will harm humans or not? You might have already fallen into his trap.”

Wang Qian usually liked to read ghost stories. Recalling that ghosts enjoyed drinking the blood of young women and consuming their souls, her face turned pale.

Mo Wen stood below a large tree. His head was slightly raised as he looked at the sky. He had a helpless look on his face. How could Wang Qian and Wan'er's ”whispers” slip past his ears? They actually suspected that he was a ghost. The imagination of these women was truly...

After a while, both Wang Qian and Wan'er returned. However, the looks on their faces were not too good. Wan'er looked at Mo Wen with a gaze that was somewhat curious and frightened. She had a fearful look on her face.

”Big Brother Mo, today's task has been completed. Should we head back now?” Wan'er suggested softly. This was Sister Wang Qian's idea. They would return home first, then discuss it. Then, they would find a way to exorcise Mo Wen. All in all, they did not want this ghost following them.

”Both of you seem to be afraid of me?” Mo Wen said unsmiling.

”No… no… why would I… be afraid of you?” Wang Qian said stuttering. But her body subconsciously took a step back.

”Then, why are you stepping backward? Are you afraid that I will become a ghost and eat you?” Mo Wen said amused.

”You… you… a ghost!” Wang Qian screamed and directly leaped off the ground. She grabbed Wan'er and ran. From Mo Wen's tone and expression, she realized that he had heard what she and Wan'er had been talking about. He could hear them from so far away. As expected, he was a ghost, and he wanted to eat them.

Mo Wen was helpless. How was it that he came across such a woman?

Wang Qian unleashed her Qinggong. In an instant, she ran over a hundred meters. Mo Wen thought for a while and did not give chase. Right now, they suspected that he was a ghost, so the more he chased them, the more afraid they would be. They could talk once they went back.

However, just as Mo Wen turned to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He raised his eyebrows as he turned to look in the direction that Wan'er and Wang Qian had gone in.

Wan'er ran behind Wang Qian in a daze. However, they had not run far before they were blocked by someone.

”Sisters, where are you rushing to? Are you rushing to meet your lovers?” A slightly sleazy voice sounded in the forest suddenly. It was followed by a silhouette appearing in front of Wan'er and Wang Qian, stopping them in their tracks.

The youth was dressed in green. His clothes were new and were made from top quality silk. It formed a bright contrast with the plain and rough clothes worn by Wan'er and Wang Qian. He stood in front of them. His look was hideous and he had a gigantic mole on his brow. He gave out a lewd vibe.

”Sisters, what a coincidence for us to be able to meet each other in this wilderness,” the nasty youth laughed lewdly.

”What are you planning to do?” Wang Qian's face turned cold. She blocked Wan'er. She could tell in a glance that this guy was not a good person.

”I plan to do nothing, of course. I just want to invite you to my house for a drink. Will the two beauties accept my invitation?” The nasty youth laughed in a low voice.

”In your dreams. Get out of our way,” Wang Qian said sternly.

”Humph. You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you know who I am?” The youth snorted coldly. His expression changed instantly.

”We are from the Five Tigers Sect. Wan'er's father is an elder in the sect. You'd better not mess with us.”

Even though there were many ancient martial arts sects in the Taihang Mountains, their management was systematic. Different sects had different attire too. They could tell that the youth was from the Baili Sect based on his attire. Besides, his position in the sect would most likely not be low.
