Chapter 207: Ghost in the Magic World - Joint Mission (3)
Shang Xiyue is different from Shang Kui.
For this matter, the Shang Family Head couldn’t say anything and simply called his brother to handle it.
He didn’t want to get involved.
Xiang Kui herself didn’t know the details, but she heard that Shang Xiyue was punished by her father that night.
’How miserable.’ Xiang Kui shook her head, yet she felt no pity in the slightest bit.
Because Xiang Kui knew very well that Shang Xiyue definitely wanted to make trouble with her. If it was not because Bing Hong Xiang and Shang Xiyue returned almost at the same time with Jun Kang’s teammates who survived, she would have long made trouble.
And as Xiang Kui expected, she was being called by the Shang Family Head the next day.
She didn’t see Shang Xiyue, though.
"Are you close to Jun Lin?" The Shang Family Head was direct in his questioning as he directly asked the main point.
Xiang Kui pursed her lips. "He’s my teammate."
The fact that Shang Kui has a crush to Jun Lin was still a secret, though. But while trying to keep that fact in mind, Xiang Kui could sense the Shang Family Head was scanning her expression.
This made her feel the pressure.
Is her acting not good enough?
Xiang Kui had never professionally learn how to act before and right now... she just wanted to tell the Shang Family Head that she was not lying.
Jun Lin hadn’t said anything and Shang Kui’s personality would make it impossible for her to be the one to step forward.
But despite being uneasy, Xiang Kui still gave a relatively calm expression on the surface.
...Well, mostly calm.
"I know." The Shang Family Head finally said and then waved his hand. "Focus on your practice and don’t go out in the next period of time."
"Yes."
Xiang Kui agreed on the surface.
But after a week, she still went out to the market and saw Duan Rong Yu, who was buying some ingredients.
"Oh, you’re here, Shang Kui." Duan Rong Yu’s eyes lit up. "Jun Lin sent a letter for you to me. I don’t understand why he would send your letter to my place."
Hearing Duan Rong Yu’s complaint, Xiang Kui resisted the urge to twitch her lips.
She had just realized that this brat was actually quite scheming.
Xiang Kui meant Jun Lin.
He looked quite naive, but it seemed that Jun Lin knew very well that he should not send a letter directly to the Shang Family that was addressed to Shang Kui.
So he chose to send the letter to Duan Rong Yu.
And this steel straight man naturally didn’t understand the real reason why Jun Lin chose to send the letter through him instead of going to the Shang Family directly.
*sigh*
"Thank you, Duan Rong Yu," Xiang Kui said politely and tucked the letter away.
She really didn’t know whether she should read this letter as herself or as Shang Kui.
"It’s not a problem. Do you...."
Before Duan Rong Yu could finish speaking, there was a commotion in the Shang Family Residence followed by screams and yell.
Duan Rong Yu was stunned, but he didn’t step forward to help.
What a joke.
His current strength was definitely far from enough.
Xiang Kui also showed appropriate surprise and fear on her face while internally, she was thinking that it was as expected.
Shang Kui didn’t participate in the joint mission with Duan Rong Yu and the others, but when she was staying at home, there was a ghost coming suddenly. At that time, Shang Xiyue had already come back, so Xiang Kui silently calculated the time.
Besides calculating the time based on Shang Kui’s memory, she was also estimating the time through the black shadow that had been brewing near the city.
It was time for the ghost to appear.
Shang Kui fought hard because the ghost kept on targeting her in her previous life, but this time, Xiang Kui would make ’Shang Kui’ stay as far away as possible from these unnecessary conflicts.
"You’re so lucky to be going out today," Duan Rong Yu muttered.
"Yeah," Xiang Kui replied in a soft voice.
...
While Xiang Kui was far away, Shang Xiyue looked like she was going crazy.
Because she could see that there was a black shadow chasing after her and its appearance was scary and terrifying.
Every ghost would look different.
These ghosts’ appearance was also closely related to the abilities that they possessed.
The first ghost looked like a big glob that could enter and disappear from its own shadow. And this one was a saw like ghost that kept on sawing its way towards Shang Xiyue.
The ghost’s hands were shaped like saw and it kept on waving them crazily, chasing after Shang Xiyue who was running away.
The other member of the Shang Family were also fighting.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosion sounded one after another, but the saw ghost remained unscathed while Shang Xiyue kept on running away.
Just like Shang Kui, Shang Xiyue’s speed was not that fast.
This made the saw ghost could get close to her from time to time.
If it was not for the magic spells from other members of the Shang Family who helped Shang Xiyue, it was estimated that Shang Xiyue would have long died.
Boom!
In the end, it took a lot of effort for the Shang Family Head to seal off the saw ghost and saved Shang Xiyue from death.
But this didn’t mean that there was no damage.
In order to find out where the saw ghost was heading, Shang Xiyue was forced to use her ability and kept on avoiding its attack.
Shang Xiyue was basically bathed with her own sweat right now.
She was so tired that if it was not for her adrenaline forcing her to stay awake, she would have long passed out.
"It’s clear now that these black shadows are chasing after Shang Xiyue," Shang Family Head said unhurriedly and turned to look at his brother.
Shang Xiyue’s father looked at his daughter with a complicated expression.
