“Ah, it hurts! Xia Mingyu, you pushed me too harshly.” Chen Yutian, who was pushed away and fell on the ground, held his back and screamed in pain. Xia Mingyu, taken aback, rushed to help him, apologizing at the same time, “I’m sorry, I thought it was Li Le, so I…”

“Li Le? What’s about Li Le? Why do you have to treat him like that?” Chen Yutian was intrigued. Xia Mingyu was speechless and slapped him in the face. Chen Yutian waved his head along with his slap. “Ah, Your Majesty, I’m sorry.”

“… Chen Yutian, what is your brain made of?” Xia Mingyu didn’t know how to talk with him. Chen Yutian was a bit of a clown. If this guy were not good at fighting, he would be beaten up by others.

Chen Yutian stuck his tongue out and placed his arm around Xia Mingyu’s shoulders, asking with a smile, “Hey, why did you hide from me before? You even ran away immediately after class. And the girls kept asking me about you but I didn’t say anything. Should I thank me?”

Hehe, Chen Yutian didn’t know much about Xia Mingyu at all. What could Chen talk about?

“Boring.” Xia Mingyu glanced coldly at Chen Yutian and clenched his fist. If it weren’t for that Chen Yutian was kind to him and he hurt Chen Yutian mistakenly, he’d have kicked this guy away for sure.

“Xia Mingyu, Did you avoid me out of embarrassment only because I killed you?” Chen Yutian laughed and whispered to Xia Mingyu’s ear. As a result, the young man’s ear turned red. He hurriedly pushed Chen Yutian away with his amber pupils full of anger.

“You’re such a nuisance. I’m leaving!” Xia Mingyu ran forward furiously but Chen Yutian didn’t go after him. Instead, he stood still and touched his chin smilingly, “Tut, interesting.”

After the afternoon class ended, Xia Mingyu was called out by the class leader, saying that someone was looking for him. It was a tall man who Xia Mingyu had never met before. He looked a bit like Sun Yaxin. Xia Mingyu guessed that he should be Sun Yaxin’s elder brother, but such a person should be a social elite in terms of appearance, who shouldn’t be related to Taoism at all…

“Hi, I am Xia Mingyu.” Xia Mingyu greeted him first, and the latter nodded and replied, “I am Sun Yaxin’s elder brother, Sun Yaheng. Xiaoxin told me about your affairs.”

Xiaoxin… Xia Mingyu suddenly thought of Sun Yaxin’s handsome face. The nickname was quite…

Xia Mingyu thought for a while and decided not to trouble Sun Yaheng. After all, he didn’t think the female ghost was easy to deal with. “Hmm, I think…”

“Are you worried about my ability?” Sun Yaheng’s eyes were light gray. When you took a closer look, you would find his eyes beaming with an alluring magic. Xia Mingyu was nearly hypnotized, and he shook his head repeatedly to wake himself up. Fine, maybe Sun Yaheng was stronger than he expected.

“Don’t worry. Leave it to me.” Sun Yaheng said and slowly raised his head to look at the rooftop. It was not appropriate for Xia Mingyu to refuse anymore. He only responded with a “yes” and asked Sun Yaheng whether he had dinner. The latter let him do his own business. Chen Yutian ran over and dragged Xia Mingyu away.

“What are you doing? “I have something to tell him.” Xia Mingyu frowned snappishly. Punched by him, Chen Yutian placed his own hands on the chest. This time, he didn’t act like a dumbass. He only looked at Sun Yaheng worriedly and whispered, “Xia Mingyu, stay away from that person. I feel that there is something wrong with him. I feel uncomfortable looking at him.”

Xia Mingyu turned his head to look at Sun Yaheng. He didn’t feel that something was wrong with this man. Aside from the strange feeling he got before, there shouldn’t be any other problem…

“It’s okay. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.” Xia Mingyu thought about it, and still decided to keep a distance from the man anyway. However, since he was Sun Yaxin’s brother, he wouldn’t hurt Xia Mingyu, would he? There was no reason to hurt Xia Mingyu, unless this man identified the Heavenly Soul.

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s go for dinner. There are good dishes in the canteen today. Hurry up.” Chen Yutian was a typical foodie. He instantly drove Sun Yaheng out his mind and dragged Xia Mingyu to the canteen. Xia Mingyu didn’t know how to deal with this classmate. Maybe he was the one that Xia Mingyu should be careful with.

When Xia Mingyu was self-studying last night, Sun Yaheng was standing on the rooftop. There was a lot of dust on the rooftop of the ninth floor. It seemed that very few people had ever came here. After that incident, even the cleaners wouldn’t come.

Sun Yaheng circled around the rooftop. The wind was getting colder, and the sky was gloomy, as if a storm would arrive at any time. There was a glint of coldness in Sun Yaheng’s greyish eyes.

Suddenly, a bloody hand reached out in the darkness and attacked Sun Yaheng. Sun Yaheng sneered. When the bloody hand reached him, he grabbed the hand, pulled the ghost Shu Qi hand out of the darkness and kicked her down.

Now Shu Qi looked like a fierce ghost with her ruined face appearing extremely hideous. She climbed up from the ground and grabbed Sun Yaheng with her long black fingernails. Sun Yaheng dodged by leaning aside and again, knocked her down again. A long nail went out from his sleeve and pinned Shu Qi to the ground. The female ghost screamed miserably.

“There are much fewer ghosts in this school. Tell me what happened.” Sun Yaheng glanced at Shu Qi indifferently and smelt the residual abnormality in the air. The female ghost who attacked Xia Mingyu last night failed. Was there anyone else other than him helping Xia Mingyu?

Shu Qi was pinned down by the Soul Suppressing Nail. Although ghosts didn’t feel physical pain, the Soul Suppressing Nail could directly penetrate throught them, making them feel the pain a lot stronger than being beheaded. Shu Qi screamed helplessly with bloody tears flowing from her eyes.

“You are very noisy.” Sun Yaheng shouted coldly and played with a Soul Suppressing Nail in his hand. Shu Qi kept shaking her head in terror. Sun Yaheng squatted down to look at her and said with a seductive word by word, “Good girl. Speak. What happened last night? You should know the consequences if you don’t tell.”

“I’ll tell you! I’ll do! Yesterday, I was injured and ran into a group of worms on the way. They ate ghosts, so I let the puppet ghosts out to attract them and ran away.”

“Worms? They ate ghosts? Haha, those were soul-eating worms. “Sun Yaheng frowned slightly. Since there were soul-eating worms, did it suggest that the Evil Soul was hunting nearby? The Evil Soul was arriving soon. If they didn’t get the power of Heavenly Soul as soon as possible, how could they awake Gongjin?

Sun Yaheng turned around and left. As he walked away, he waved his hand. Instantly, Shu Qi screamed in the darkness. With a wisp of black smoke fading away, the fierce ghost was gone for good.

At the same time, the Taoist priest in a yellow robe, who was sitting in the Li Family, spat blood and looked at the dead bones beside him turning white ashes. Someone broke his array and killed the ghost raised by him. He would definitely not let this person go.

Sun Yaheng came down from the rooftop and coincidentally ran into Xia Mingyu, who was looking for him around. The young man, appearing very cute, saw Sun Yaheng coming down, and then hurriedly walked to him. “Where have you been?”

“To solve problem. What?”

Of course Xia Mingyu saw that Sun Yaheng came down from the rooftop. According to his reply, he was a little surprised, “Did you go to the rooftop to subdue the female ghost?”

“Subdue? Why bother? I dispersed her!” Sun Yaheng patted the dust off his body and said casually. Xia Mingyu widened his eyes to look at Sun Yaheng in astonishment, “You… You killed her?”

“Bingo.”

“But she was a victim too! Why did you kill her without finding out the truth? “Xia Mingyu grabbed Sun Yaheng’s clothes and roared angrily. Sun Yaheng looked at him aloofly and sneered, “But she killed quite a few people. ”

Xia Mingyu was stunned and thought of the girls killed by Shu Qi. These girls were victims too. However, he still didn’t feel relieved about Shu Qi’s death. “Then you should send her to the netherworld to receive punishment. Why did you kill her?”

Sun Yaheng frowned. In his eyes, the young man was too innocent. He didn’t know anything about the worldly affairs at all, but it was better. What he wanted was merely the Heavenly Soul. “She died of a suicide, which was already a deep sin, so she wouldn’t be accepted in the netherworld. Instead of letting her continue harming human beings, it is better to give her a closure.”

Xia Mingyu was speechless. He pitied Shu Qi, but he couldn’t help her. Li Le was such a scumbag. Why did he hurt so many young girls? If it were Li Le who died, there wouldn’t be so many troubles.

“Xia Mingyu, Xia Mingyu, something is wrong!” Chen Yutian quickly ran over. The young man withdrew the anger in his eyes and looked at him in confusion. Chen Yutian gasped for breath and said, “Li Le is dead. Just now, he jumped off the rooftop.”

“What?” Xia Mingyu was shocked. He couldn’t believe that Li Le would really die. “What happened? He committed suicide?”

“It didn’t look like that. He was on a date with a girl and then somehow, they fell off the rooftop and died.” Chen Yutian explained and then dragged Xia Mingyu downstairs. “Let’s go. I’ll show you. There are a lot of people down there now. Everyone is talking about it.”

After all, Xia Mingyu was still young. Even though he had been chased by many ghosts for numerous times, it was still the first time that he had seen the dead before him. Li Le, who molested him this morning, now became a cold corpse. No, this was not a corpse but a pile of blood and flesh. He fell off the ninth floor only. How could his body become like this?

“Tut, I missed it. That female ghost was smart enough to leave a puppet female ghost.” Looking at the three ghosts on the corpse, Sun Yaheng shook his head slightly and dispersed them. Xia Mingyu watched him do that, looked away and left.

What was death? As to an ordinary person, after being born, he would age, get sick and perish in the end, but only because Xia Mingyu was a chess piece of the heaven, he couldn’t even get to die. Was it a blessing or a sin?
