Chapter 1829: Really Difficult To Handle

Although Zhao Ying knew that it was wrong, sometimes she couldn’t help but treat the person she was chatting with as Yang Ming. When she became aware of this, Zhao Ying felt that maybe she should calm down.

She didn’t know if she really liked “There’s No True Love In This World”, or simply treated him as an emotional substitute for Yang Ming. This was the crucial question. If she just treated him as an emotional substitute for Yang Ming, then it didn’t count as her being fickle. She was just maintaining an illusion psychologically and emotionally.

But what if she liked “There’s No True Love In This World”? Then would she be two-timing?

Zhao Ying didn’t know who she could talk to about this. Should I talk to Sun Jie? Of course not. If I talk to Sun Jie, Yang Ming would probably learn about it immediately. Zhao Ying didn’t think Sun Jie could keep a secret to the point of hiding things from Yang Ming.

Should I talk to Wang Xiaoyan? That is even more difficult. It’s the same as talking to Sun Jie. I only have two good friends in Song Jiang, yet I can’t talk to either of them. In the end, Zhao Ying could only hold these things in her heart.

Just as she was being upset, “There’s No True Love In This World” looked for her again.

Sometimes, Zhao Ying would ponder if she really considered “There’s No True Love In This World” as an emotional substitute for Yang Ming, why would she think of QQ all the time?

Zhao Ying knew very well that “There’s No True Love In This World” was not Yang Ming. He was not from the start. The two had known each other for a long time, but Zhao Ying didn’t want to admit that she had fallen in love with this internet friend she’d never met before.

Zhao Ying felt embarrassed. Am I considered to be fickle? But taking a closer look, the distance between me and Yang Ming is becoming further and further, and I’m becoming closer to “There’s No True Love In This World”. If things continue escalating like this, what choice should I make?

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Ying replied.

“It’s nothing. I haven’t seen you for a few days. I miss you a little bit,” Yang Ming sent a 😘 in reply.

“How was it a few days? You were only offline yesterday, right?” Zhao Ying replied 😡.

Ha, Yang Ming thought to himself. Zhao Ying remembers it quite clearly. Looks like my online pick-up plan has some results. Sun Jie seems to be right. Online dating is a good way to conquer Zhao Ying.

“Is that so? But don’t other people say that a day apart seems like three years?” Yang Ming said shamelessly.

“Tsk. Why don’t you miss your girlfriend instead? Why are you missing me?” Zhao Ying’s heart was a little moved, but she still replied to the message dismissively.

“Aren’t you my girlfriend?” Yang Ming continued shamelessly.

“Me? When did this happen? I know nothing about it” Zhao Ying was startled seeing Yang Ming’s message. She looked around and found that Sun Jie wasn’t paying attention to her, and nobody else was as well. Zhao Ying was relieved and replied to Yang Ming.

“If I called you wife and you had no objections, then you naturally are,” Yang Ming continued on shamelessly.

“… I was too lazy to correct you every time.” Zhao Ying was speechless. This “There’s No True Love In This World”‘s face was thick enough to compete with Yang Ming.

Me… Why do I keep on comparing him with Yang Ming? What do I want to do!

Zhao Ying’s heart became even more disturbed. Although Zhao Ying didn’t want to admit it, she was already a bit moved in reality.

Zhao Ying went through another lecture in confusion. She didn’t understand anything. Looking at the tired Xiao Qing on the podium, Zhao Ying felt a bit ashamed. Zhao Ying had wasted this lecture.

“Zhao Ying, let’s eat together later?” Sun Jie packed up the textbooks on the table then put them in a carry bag while telling Zhao Ying beside her, “Qing Qing also has nothing to do later.”

“Ah… I don’t think I will join. I still have another class on world economics later. You all go ahead…” Zhao Ying was startled and quickly exited the QQ window while raising her head, replying unnaturally.

Actually, the viewing angle from the phone screen was quite small. Plus, the screen protector on it made it difficult for people beside her to see what exactly was displayed on the screen. It was only Zhao Ying’s guilty conscience that made her do so.

“Oh? Alright. I forgot that economics majors have the most subjects.” Sun Jie didn’t pay much attention to Zhao Ying’s little actions, “Some other day then. I’ll go ahead with Qing Qing. I’m about to starve to death. I only ate some noodles at noon.”

At noon, Sun Jie and Zhao Ying ate oil noodles [1] at a new noodle restaurant in front of the school. Although it was delicious, the portion was too little. If they had known earlier, they would have ordered a larger bowl.

“En.” Zhao Ying put away the textbook on the desk and nodded.

“I’m leaving first!” Sun Jie waved at Zhao Ying. Sun Jie had taken Zhao Ying as her own. After dinner that day, Sun Jie also understood Zhao Ying’s identity and knew that she would be with Yang Ming sooner or later, so she didn’t regard Zhao Ying as an outsider.

“En.” Zhao Ying looked at Sun Jie’s back and sighed. Sun Jie treated her as a real sister. How could Zhao Ying not know that?

Zhao Ying was very grateful to Sun Jie in her heart, but at the same time, she was a little worried. She was worried about how Sun Jie would treat her if she knew that Zhao Ying was fickle and fell in love with an online friend.

Sigh … Zhao Ying grabbed her hair. This is really difficult to handle!

Fan Jinzhe was very upset for a while. He felt that he was played by Yang Ming! Previously in the Song Jiang International Hotel’s private restaurant room, Yang Ming had convinced him that he had offended a vengeful spirit!

Yang Ming spoke so plausibly, and really understood his thoughts. So naturally, Fan Jinzhe believed the vengeful spirit story. He couldn’t even care to please Zhao Ying, and stumbled to escape from the private room. He was ready to hurry back to find a way to break the curse. In the end, he collided into someone else’s car while he was driving because he was so shaken up. Fan Jinzhe couldn’t wait for the people from the insurance company to come as he didn’t want to stay outside for too long. He felt that the outside was too dangerous, so he paid the car owner privately and hurried home.

In his opinion, the vengeful spirit must have manifested as he got into an accident while driving by himself. He didn’t dare to linger any longer!

After Fan Jinzhe returned home, he did not dare to go out. He searched the Internet for all things related to “Vengeful spirits”, and found quite a lot of websites about them. But most of them were horror stories and movies. Of course, there was a small part about the introduction of “vengeful spirits”. After Fan Jinzhe read the introduction, he felt horrified and didn’t even dare to step outside his door. He stayed at home and ate only instant noodles and takeaway. He didn’t go to school, nor the company.

However, Fan Jinzhe also knew that staying at home like this couldn’t achieve anything. Yang Ming mentioned that the manifestation of this vengeful spirit also varied. There were some people who died of cancer. There was no saying how one would die. There was no fixed pattern on the cause of death. I wouldn’t get any cancer, right?

Thinking of this, Fan Jinzhe felt that he couldn’t continue staying at home. He should go to a hospital to have a full physical examination to see if he was ill.

As a result, Fan Jinzhe drove out the door carefully and went to the largest First People’s Hospital in Song Jiang city. He took a number and paid for a full body examination. He was busy the entire day with blood tests and urine tests. The test results showed that Fan Jinzhe was very healthy. Aside from a little deficiency in his kidneys, there were no major problems.

Fan Jinzhe knew about the kidney deficiency. A while ago, he hired a girl at a nightclub. He went to the club every day after school to mess around. In many cases, it was several times in a single night. After this continued for more than a year, Fan Jinzhe also knew that he couldn’t continue on like that. However, he couldn’t live without the feeling of ecstasy until he saw Zhao Ying. Fan Jinzhe lost all interest in the uncultured girl who only knew how to dress up after that. So he gave her a sum of money and dismissed her.

Although Fan Jinzhe had made great efforts to replenish his body, the previous deficit was too serious. It wasn’t something that could be easily replenished.

Holding up the inspection report, Fan Jinzhe frowned. He was not ill. Is it that the vengeful spirit has not manifested yet? But it has been many days. It should be time for the vengeful spirit to manifest?

Chapter 1830: Unlucky Fan Jinzhe

However, just because his body wasn’t ill, it didn’t mean that the vengeful spirit wouldn’t take his life in other ways. Fan Jinzhe didn’t dare to let his guard down. He pulled strings in order to find a way to resolve this and finally managed to contact a master from Mount Wutai – Master Sanjie.

This Master Sanije was said to have great magic powers. He had lived for over a hundred and fifty years. He could reach up into the heavens and below to the spiritual world. He could talk to the saints in the heavens as well as the demons in the underworld.

This master Sanjie also had deep knowledge regarding exorcism. There were also stories about a big boss named Lai Changyi who was entangled by a fox spirit. This fox spirit was defeated by Master Sanjie.

Otherwise, Lai Changyi would be dead. All major hospitals have said that he was a gone case. This Master Sanije found the root cause with one glance.

Fan Jinzhe heard that Master Sanjie was very powerful, so he quickly looked for connections and invited Master Sanjie with a huge amount of money.

“Master …” Fan Jinzhe shoved a red envelope into Master Sanjie’s hands.

“Money is merely a worldly possession. If I really need to do something, I will naturally ask you to donate to the temple afterward. But before I do anything, I will not accept any money,” said Master Sanjie calmly.

What high morals! Fan Jinzhe couldn’t help but secretly nod and praise when he saw Master Sanjie’s saintly demeanor. He had found such masters before this. However, most of them were extremely materialistic. They would request for a huge sum of money, then proceed to act like they were performing an exorcism. But at the end of the day, they invited Taishang Laojun [2] and Guanyin [3]. After inviting them over, Fan Jinzhe didn’t feel any different, but they claimed that the vengeful spirit was chased away.

Fan Jinzhe felt that they were unreliable no matter how he thought about it! Especially since after they declared the vengeful spirit had been chased away, he went to another master to explain his situation who told the vengeful spirit returned! The previous master’s powers were not enough, and the new master had to do the exorcism again.

Fan Jinzhe was hotheaded at the moment and believed it. He spent another huge sum of money for that master to help exorcise the vengeful spirit. In the end, that master also invited saints and ghosts and eventually shouted that he had condemned the vengeful spirit to the eighteenth level of hell.

Fan Jinzhe thought that since the first master had deceived him, didn’t he spend money in vain? So he went back in anger, but the master shouted that Fan Jinzhe was fooled after hearing his intention!

Fan Jinzhe was stunned. Why was I fooled again? So, the first master explained that he had already helped Fan Jinzhe drive away the vengeful spirit, but Fan Jinzhe had looked for a half-decent master. The ritual was botched and the vengeful spirit returned to his body!

Logically, Fan Jinzhe was a very smart person who wouldn’t be fooled normally, but he was scared to death by Yang Ming and was desperately looking for a cure. Fan Jinzhe was shocked silly and he believed the first master’s words again.

Fan Jinzhe hurriedly asked the first master what he should do if this vengeful spirit returned. The master told Fan Jinzhe that he would finish his business. He demanded another donation from Fan Jinzhe and proclaimed to send the vengeful spirit away by endangering his own powers.

Fan Jinzhe believed him again, and donated a large sum of money again to the first master.

The first master did the practice again, and then told Fan Jinzhe that it was done. The vengeful spirit had been banished.

Fan Jinzhe was relieved, but at the same time, his heart felt uneasy. He was annoyed that the second master had caused the vengeful spirit’s return, and made him spend extra money. So Fan Jinzhe went back to the second master to ask for justice.

In the end, it became worse. When the second master saw Fan Jinzhe returning, he pointed at Fan Jinzhe before Fan Jinzhe could even open his mouth, “Wait! Don’t talk first! I know why you came here!”

Fan Jinzhe was momentarily stunned, asking in his heart, You know why I came? Did you know your powers were not good, so I came back to find you? But Fan Jinzhe still asked, “Then why don’t you tell me why I am here?”

“Did you return to the first master?” The second master asked, looking at Fan Jinzhe.

“Yeah, how did you know?” Fan Jinzhe was baffled. Did this second master have a similar experience before? Did someone come back from the first master to settle scores with him?

“Naturally, I predicted it.” The second master threw a gaze shrouded with mystery at Fan Jinzhe and shook his head sadly, “It’s a pity. What a pity! A proper person doomed just like that.”

Fan Jinzhe listened to the words of the second master. He was confused and frowned, “What are you talking about? What about pity and being doomed? Can you speak more clearly? Who is doomed?”

“Naturally, it is you.” The second master shook his head, “According to my predictions, after you left me, you went to the former master. Is that correct?”

“Yeah, so what?” Fan Jinzhe was even more confused this time, and he didn’t bother to find faults with the second master.

“So what?” The second master shook his head, “It’s a pity. A pity that you have asked him to do another ritual.”

“You … how did you know?” Fan Jinzhe was even more surprised. Is this second master so powerful that he is even able to predict this? If so, why is his power not good enough?

“Hmph, the vengeful spirit has returned to you! I saw it! How do you think I know!?” The second master pointed at Fan Jinzhe and said, “I spent so much effort to drive away the vengeful spirit. Now you have got it back!”

“Ah?!” Fan Jinzhe’s jaw dropped. He was completely dumbfounded. He wasn’t sure what to do! He was here to get justice from the second master, yet the second master managed to say everything accurately. It made it impossible for Fan Jinzhe to not believe him. The second master was boundless. He even managed to predict that Fan Jinzhe had gone back to the first master!

That’s right, the first master must have lied to me. Shoot, that must be the case! That guy wanted to get more money from me, but in the end, his power wasn’t strong enough and caused the vengeful spirit to return!

Thinking of this, Fan Jinzhe was shocked and frightened. He hurriedly asked, “Master, what do you say I should do now?”

“What can I do? I can’t do anything,” the second master said as he shook his head. “I can’t help you. You can find whoever you want.”

Once Fan Jinzhe heard that the second master didn’t say anything about giving a little more donation and risking his powers to chase away the vengeful spirit, Fan Jinzhe felt that the first master was a liar.

If the second master wanted to lie and get my money, he could have just said so. Why would he say that it can’t be helped?

Fan Jinzhe knelt down on the ground with a thump, “Master, you have to help me. I … please. It doesn’t matter how much money you need!”

“It’s not a matter of money. I have expelled the evil spirits from you today, and I have already lost a lot of power,” said the second master. “Even if you give me more money, I don’t want to lose more power.”

As soon as he heard the second master saying this, Fan Jinzhe understood that there was a way, but the second master was unwilling to lose power. It was not impossible!

Fan Jinzhe then said, “Master, saving one’s life is better than building seven temples. Look, you are also a man of Taoism. You should know that saving someone is the greatest virtue, right?”

After listening to Fan Jinzhe’s words, the second master hesitated for a long time, but then nodded his head, “Well, then I will help you again. I can help you, but a large donation is necessary.”

“That is natural!” Fan Jinzhe nodded quickly and agreed.

Then, the second master did another ritual to help Fan Jinzhe drive away the vengeful spirit.

After Fan Jinzhe paid the donation, he was furious. The first master really harmed me! He almost made me die. I can’t just let him go! I must show him who’s boss!

After Fan Jinzhe left the second master, he aggressively went towards the first master! This time, he must expose the first master, and recover the money that he paid previously.
