Chapter 244 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 26 (2/2)

When the ghost king saw the two acting so intimate with each other, he wanted to rush up and kill Feng Jin, but he grew timid.

Just like back then, when he hadn’t dared to look for her and missed the truth as a result. Had he not come here today, it was unknown whether he could have even…

Upon thinking that he could’ve ended up attacking Ning Ying because of a misunderstanding, he felt like Ning Xian’s death had been far too easy.

He stared at Shi Sheng with a complicated gaze, as if he had thousands of things he wanted to tell her. But in the end, he only spoke one sentence:

“Ying-Ying, I’ll look for you.”

The ghost king left with Ning Yan in tow after saying this, leaving behind a confused Shi Sheng. ‘He left just like that? Not even going to fight?’

“He’s stronger than Nalan Ying,” Feng Jin judged.

Shi Sheng put away her sword, silent. She didn’t try and pass judgement on whether or not that ghost king really liked Ning Ying. She wasn’t bored enough to be all that interested in the affairs of others.

The only ones she was interested in were the main characters.

‘Stepmother authors exist for the purpose of making life for main characters hard. You can call me an eccentric princess.’

Main characters, “…” ‘Is it our fault that we’re the main characters?’

……

By the time Shi Sheng and Feng Jin left the mansion, the sky was showing faint signs of light. The crowd outside the mansion’s main entrance had completely surrounded the doors, staring so hard that they nearly went cross-eyed.

They had already taken a headcount and discovered only four people hadn’t emerged yet.

So when the crowd saw someone finally emerge from the mansion, they only felt like they’d eliminated yet another suspect.

However, while they were pondering which of the three remaining was the despicable hooligan, Feng Jin poured out all the badges they had collected onto the ground.

The crowd stared at the pile of badges with their mouths agape.

‘I-It was the brat from the Feng Clan? Don’t tell us there really is going to be a new grandmaster from the Feng Clan this year? But we really can’t accept those types of underhanded methods!’

Shi Sheng gave a slight smile of ridicule. ‘Those three are probably still lying around somewhere in the mansion.’

At some point before this, An Su and Xiao Bai ended up standing next to each other, so they exchanged glances. They seemed to be able to read the meanings in each other’s eyes, communicating that the Gathering had gone as they’d expected.

“Feng Jin, you actually used such underhanded means! Where are Wei Li, Song Jiang and Guo Cheng? What did you do to them?!”

‘Since he took them out, it proves that he’s the one who took all of their badges… But those three still haven’t come out yet. They couldn’t have been murdered by him, could they?’

“Inside.” Feng Jin was curt.

‘Inside? What do you mean inside?’

Only now did Xiao Bai remember his Master hadn’t come out yet. He hurriedly dragged An Su with him as he walked towards them. “…And my Master?”

He was looking at Shi Sheng, so the question was directed at her.

Shi Sheng hadn’t put the concealing talisman back on before coming out, so Xiao Bai’s question caused those who had been too stunned by the matter of the badges to finally notice Shi Sheng, who was currently floating in the air in an aqua-blue dress.

The weather had already turned colder, but she was still wearing a summer dress which had sleeves only going down to her elbows.

‘This… is a ghost!’

“Feng Jin! You’re actually keeping a ghost!” Someone shouted, “This is against the rules!”
