The Vanishing Client

eep down, there are some things you just have to learn to pretend not to notice.He is an extraordinary person, and you cannot fathom his thoughts with an ordinary mindset.My brain isn't great, and my...I touched my face, where did the frown come from.

“You’re back…” I felt a little guilty. My brother often cleans up after me without complaint.

“I’m back. I’ve talked to Master Zong and his disciples. His sect will come and suppress those bronze talisman Buddhas. For every one they collect, it means one fewer channel for the Demonic Realm to control its believers.” My brother said, “Master Zong still needs to find more Buddhas. I promised the Shen and Mu families that we’ll help him. He’ll share any information he has with us, and he’s asked me to find the Six Extremes Ghostly Apparatus.”

He placed two lamps on the table: "With these two lamps, we can find a chance to test them. Master Zongdao's old master said that if one of them can attract the scattered ghost energy and far-floating spirits, then it is a soul-attracting lamp. Otherwise, it is just a soul-refining magic tool."

Drifting phantoms... distant specters...

Doesn't this provide a ready-made testing scenario!

"What's with that look..." My brother looked at me suspiciously. "Are you pregnant again What's with the dazed expression..."

"No!" I stared at him dumbfounded. "It just so happens that something happened over here. Seventh Master was chasing a female ghost who could dissipate ghostly energy. If this thing could really gather souls…"

Maybe we can make a move next

My brother was taken aback and asked, "What did you say I see everyone in the alumni group is talking about someone named Zhong Lanlan... Is she a graduate of our school"

"Well, in this city, our school is probably the most famous one. Just sit down, and I'll tell you all about it."

I talked about the usual quiet things, and my brother raised an eyebrow: "That's not hard at all...Changjing is deeply involved in this matter. Her boyfriend is also a ghost. Wouldn't it be easy to put this thing in Changjing's house"

"I'm afraid something might happen. That female ghost isn't afraid of me at all." I said honestly.

You only need to be afraid of the Seventh Lord and your husband. I don't care if you're afraid of anything else.

"..."

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

I just told Changjing that I wouldn't take her commission, and now she's calling me again. It's so awkward.

As soon as I picked up the phone, there was a "hello," then it suddenly changed to strange noises like "hmm hmm woo woo."

"Hello" I frowned and called out a few times. There were sounds of friction, strange whimpers, even moans and panicked rustling coming from the other side.

My brother pulled the phone away and listened for a moment, frowning. “….Is that…someone having sex Why does it sound so weird”

"I don't know...she just left here a while ago. I think her boyfriend called her..." I frowned and listened again.

"Hello" I called out again, thinking to myself that if they were really making love, then I was toast.

Distant and chaotic noises came from the phone. I seemed to hear a voice saying: "Mu... Mu classmate... uh..."

Is that me Does she know it's my call A sharp ring came, and the phone was hung up.

“I feel something’s off… even if we were just fooling around, there’s no reason she would invite me over to her place and then hang up on me.” I said, frowning.

My brother scratched his head and said, “I’m especially unwilling to get involved with female ghosts, especially those with cultivation... If you find this too strange, it's best not to get involved.”

I pondered for a moment, then shook my head and said, "No, I still have to go and see. Just in case something happens..."

My brother was both tired and sleepy. When he heard I was going to check on her, he didn't say anything and followed me by car to Changjing's small apartment.

But the apartment was empty, and the gloom in the hallway hadn't completely dissipated. This was a mid-high floor in this building, young people liked to have such a lofty view of the scenery.

"Ugh, this is so high. If the elevator broke down, I'd be terrified." My brother checked around while I was still on the phone.

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

Desperate, I used a summoning incantation to call upon the little imps. The two who were patrolling this area were promptly "detained" by me.

"As soon as I saw her, I put on a bitter and resentful expression: 'Little Lady, the City God has already issued an order forbidding us from interfering in this matter. This is not something ordinary ghost clerks like us can handle... In order to preserve our meager cultivation, we can only avoid the limelight of this female ghost.'"

"I'm not asking you to interfere, I just want you to come in and see if anyone is home." I explained hastily.

The little ghosts looked at each other and whispered, "There's no haunting, no orders from superiors. If we enter a yang residence on our own accord, we'll be remembered..."

"It's fine, just push it on my head." I can handle such a small matter.

The little ghost smiled and said, “Thank you, little mistress, for your understanding.”

He dashed towards the door, a faint mist appearing as he vanished behind it.

Soon, the little ghost appeared and whispered: "Inside is very chaotic, no one is there, but a lot of ghostly energy remains."

"I know that, this house is very heavy with spirits, even the homeowner feels something's off." I nodded, helplessly making my way back home.

The homeowner isn't answering, and Chang Jing isn't picking up my calls either. I wonder if she thinks that since Zhong Lanlan has died everything is fine now, and she's reconciled with her boyfriend, so she doesn't need to spend money on me anymore for my feng shui consultations.

As soon as it got dark, Jiang Qiyun appeared early. He saw me staying at home and nodded with a hint of satisfaction, saying: “ ... You finally listened to me”

"I've always been a good listener, haven't I..." I sighed.

I couldn't find Changjing all day. What can I do I can only stay at home.

"Is that really so" Jiang Qiyun smiled. "The city god of Jingcheng has long since reported Miss Xiao's actions."

"I was thinking of trying a spirit lamp," I whispered. "Too bad the client hasn't answered my calls. I just called again, and their phone is off."

Mo thought very carefully, feeling that it was enough to make up with her boyfriend. After all, the rival in love had died. They could find a new apartment and build a nest together, without needing to spend money on me anymore.

"Did Qiye manage to catch that female ghost" I asked curiously.

Jiang Qiyun took off his outer robe and casually draped it over the back of my chair, saying in a faint voice, "There are so many things to do in the underworld, I don't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters... Bai Wuchang always has his reasons for doing things, I'm too lazy to care."

I know Jiang Qiyun is protecting his own. Bai Wu Chang's personality is hard to figure out, but he's a good match for Jiang Qiyun and trustworthy.

Even if Bai Wu Chang skips work and doesn't come to the Heavenly Court every day to check in, Jiang Qiyun doesn't mind. He lets him do his own thing.

“Qiyun… Such a ghost cultivator, is he more powerful than ordinary underworld spirits”

Wouldn't Bai Wu Chang be in any danger

"Cultivation is mostly achieved through the passage of time, few achieve it overnight. Look at those fairies, demons, immortals and deities; they all fear their hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation being ruined in an instant, so age is a significant dividing line... Ordinary little ghosts and underworld officials only have a few hundred years of lifespan. How high can their cultivation be"

Jiang Qiyun reached out and poked my forehead: "Do you think everyone is like you, with so many opportunities but still needing me to teach them personally..." and bottom heads! Baby! The head on top and the turtle shell on the bottom! You have to know how to grasp them. Whatever kind of bad guy, whatever kind of deity it is, all the men have to obediently...
