Chapter 237 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 19 (2/2)

“Oh, so your Zhangchun Monastery’s that awesome eh? Then how come your donations can’t measure up to our Baiyun Monastery’s?”

“You pickin’ a fight?!”

“Come on then! Let’s fight! As if we’re scared of your Zhangchun Monastery…”

And etcetera…

Right as it seemed like an all-out brawl was going to break out, someone suddenly spotted a human figure on the other side of the hole and shouted, “Quick! Look over there!”

Lightning crackled and the intermittent flashes of light revealed a flickering figure on the other side of the hole. All in all, it was quite a creepy sight.

“Is that a human or a ghost? Or is it an alien?”

“A ghost…” The young man Xiao Bai spoke quietly, but since his voice was too soft, it was drowned out by the others.

Shi Sheng nearly fell to her knees. ‘THESE people belong to monasteries? Couldn’t tell at all… they act exactly like normal townspeople… My image of Taoists is being destroyed.’

The figure they saw was An Su. Shi Sheng was floating beside An Su, but apart from the young man called Xiao Bai, no one else could see her.

“Go over and ask them where the Exorcist Gathering is held.” However, Shi Sheng didn’t hold much hope. ‘Those people are clearly useless! They probably only use their monasteries’ fame to trick normal people… Yet they can’t even see me! Bad reviews! It’d be stranger if they did know about a gathering of actual exorcists…’

An Su had worn a constantly confused expression ever since following Shi Sheng here.

‘She actually blasted such a large hole at the foot of Mt. Tiandu… And she wants me to ask those people over there where the Exorcist Gathering is being held?

With such an aggressive attitude, will they really say?

And this hole… It’s exactly the same as the one in my neighbourhood!

That’s right! I thought her voice sounded familiar! That time with Nalan Ying… the voice that suddenly appeared was hers, wasn’t it? How did I miss that sword until now?!’

Recalling what Shi Sheng said back then, An Su’s heart felt warm. ‘She warned me that Nalan Ying had ulterior motives, but I didn’t take it to heart.’

A fierce blush crept up An Su’s face, causing her to feel like it was burning. ‘Ghost-jiejie saw me and Nalan Ying do THAT! How much did she see? I don’t have the face to see her…’

An Su quickly ran to the other side like she was escaping from something.

This time, since she was faced with a group of people and not monstrosities, she didn’t feel too afraid. But the massive crater beside her made her feel a bit guilty.

“He’s coming over… What does he want?”

“Eh? It’s a lady.”

Countless flashlights swept over her, the light nearly blinding and causing her to fall into the hole beside.

Amidst the odd gazes of the crowd, An Su nervously made her way over. ‘They won’t attack me, will they…?’

“Lady… A-a-are you an alien…?” A man wearing a teddy bear patterned shirt stuttered.

“I’m a human!” An Su couldn’t help but feel exasperated. ‘Do I look like an alien?’

“Oh, a human. That’s good.” Teddy-Bear Man patted his chest as he calmed himself down. But not before a question occurred to him. “Hey wait a minute. What’re you doing out here this late? And did you make this hole?”

An Su shook her head as she answered honestly, “No.”

‘Ghost-jiejie made the hole, so I wasn’t lying…’

“Then can I ask what you are doing on our Mt. Tiandu this late?”

“Ah? Er…” An Su scratched her head awkwardly. “I wanted to ask you guys if you knew where the Exorcist Gathering is being held. Does anyone know?”

“Exorcist?” Teddy-Bear Man asked.

An Su nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice as she looked at the man expectantly.

Teddy Bear Man had a confused expression. “What’s that?”

An Su, “…”

‘As a Taoist of Mt. Tiandu, how do you not know what an exorcist is?! Are you kidding me?’
