Xie Qiao looked at the shadow ghoul behind Meng Jifang and let out a faint chuckle.

This chuckle caused Meng Jifang to feel a chill run down his spine. It was a strange feeling.

“Do you feel that no matter where you go, it’s as if someone is following you? When you land on your feet, he will land on his feet. It’s like the sound of falling leaves drifting past. There are faint gray shadows, but even if you suddenly turn your head, there’s nothing behind you other than your own shadow?”

Meng Jifang gulped.

Xie Qiao was not done yet.

“You think you’re hearing things, right?” She asked faintly.

Meng Jifang nodded. “I think so. Don’t tell me there really is a ghoul…”

Of course, even though he said that, he was still afraid. Otherwise, he would not have come to the Fortune Pavilion today.

“Your problem is serious. There are quite a lot of people with the same problem, but everyone’s situation is different. It all depends on you. If your heart is full of fire, you’ll recover in a few days. But if you’re timid, it’s best to spend money and hire someone to get rid of it for you. With a dirty thing following you around, it will naturally hurt your body,” Xie Qiao added.

Meng Jifang had a conflicted expression on his face.

Dirty thing?

Did this witch mean that there was indeed a ghoul?

“Aren’t you a Taoist master? It’s your responsibility to rid the world of evil and defend the dao. Are you ignoring it after you see it? If I don’t pay, won’t you treat me?” Meng Jifang said, asking for a beating.

“But if you have the guts, this illness can be cured without medicine. Although Young Master Meng doesn’t lack money, I can tell at a glance that you’re a brave person. If you don’t open your mouth and say that you’re too cowardly and can’t stand it, then this penniless master won’t be able to make a decision directly.” Xie Qiao’s attitude was quite unrestrained. After saying this, she looked at Meng Jifang, as if she thought he was trying to make a fool out of himself.

She was a serious person.

She had no enmity with Meng Jifang, but he wanted to destroy her shop. Then, do not blame her for throwing a tantrum.

With her words, Meng Jifang really could not bring himself to throw his dignity away.

‘Call me timid? That’s impossible!’

With a cold expression, he stood up and turned to leave.

He did not take a single step. It was as if someone had taken a step behind him. He stopped, and so did the sound. His heart was irritated, and he quickened his pace. However, the sound of steps could be heard.

It was still daytime, so this feeling was not very obvious.

Recently, he dared not go out at night. He could not even take a few more steps in the courtyard!

Meng Jifang’s problem was not difficult to solve, but it would take some effort. Xie Qiao was not willing to help him directly because of this person’s arrogance, but also because she wanted to lower his arrogance, only then could he cooperate obediently.

There were all kinds of ghouls in this world.

Some ghouls were free and could float around on the street, but there were also many whose movement was restricted.

For instance, Fu Hanwen had become a water ghoul, so he had to find a substitute. For instance, the hanging ghoul had to be hung by a rope after death, and its feet were not allowed to touch the ground.

The one following Meng Jifang was a shadow ghoul.

These spirits were not valued when they were alive, and were like shadow puppets. After they died, they were no different than that. They did not have a sense of existence, but they were filled with resentment.

After bumping into a new person, they were attracted by the living qi of the new person and followed them around. Their souls covered their shadows…

Although it was the same as the shadow, it was not his own after all. It was inevitable that he would discover it. After discovering it, he would not be able to see anything. As time passed, it would cause him to be upset and the fire in his heart gradually weakened. Moreover, this kind of ghoul that would cling onto others would not be of any benefit to the body if it stayed by his side for a long time.

Of course, Xie Qiao did not lie to Meng Jifang.

If he was bold enough, just like her eldest brother Xie Pinggang’s temperament, ghouls would definitely not stay close to him. Even if the ghouls clung onto him, it would not take long before they would be scared away by his masculine qi.
