Chapter 639: Stealing Someone in Front of Me, Isn't That Unethical?
Seeing Lin Hao's condition, they couldn't continue forward.
Qin Ruan spoke to Wei Linchen, who was sitting in front of her, "Professor Wei, Lin Hao can't row the boat for now. The rest of the journey will rely on you."
"Sure."
As Wei Linchen had physical contact with Lin Hao, he could see the hundreds of lost souls on the Huangju tree.
As long as it was a low-cultivation ghost, he could see them.
The six eerie heads emerging from the lake had already fallen into his eyes.
However, it was just six of them.
He had seen hundreds of ferocious faces with sharp teeth earlier, which were scarier than these six brats, so he felt no burden.
Wei Linchen took the oar from Lin Hao's hand, replacing him, and continued to row towards the center of the lake.
Lin Hao sat opposite Qin Ruan, sitting upright like an elementary school student.
Qin Ruan called him, "Brother Hao?"
"Here!"
Lin Hao suddenly raised his head, his body tense.
Qin Ruan smiled, "Relax, don't be so nervous."
Lin Hao's tense body relaxed, he rubbed his face with a bitter smile, "I can't live like this. I see ghosts every day. I'm afraid I'll lose my life one day."
Hearing this, Qin Ruan blinked her eyes, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
She asked tentatively, "You're not afraid of the ghosts themselves, but afraid of being harmed by them?"
Lin Hao grabbed his hair, a bitter smile on his resolute face, "There's not much difference between humans and ghosts. They all have a nose, two ears, two eyes, and a mouth.
When I first saw them, I was really scared and horrified, but over time, I'm not that afraid anymore. After all, they are the lost souls of people who died.
It's just that when I fight with people, I can use real bullets and real fighting, but with ghosts, they are my natural enemies. If I don't see them, I won't provoke them, but once I see them, I worry about losing my life all the time."
"Ha!" Qin Ruan burst out laughing.
She had never known about Lin Hao's inner struggles.
Thinking about it, it was understandable.
They grew up in Xicheng and were never afraid of real fights.
However, they were afraid of potential dangers, like time bombs that made their hearts race, never knowing when they would explode.
Now, Lin Hao seemed to have exploded.
It was hard for him to endure for so long.
Listening to the conversation between Qin Ruan and Lin Hao, Wei Linchen, who was rowing the boat, heard it all.
He turned his head and smiled at Lin Hao, "It's simple. Worship me as your teacher, join my Qingcheng Taoist temple, and I will teach you ghost-catching skills so that you can protect yourself. Then, you won't need to fear those evil spirits anymore."
Hearing this, Qin Ruan laughed in exasperation, "Professor Wei, isn't it unethical to steal someone in front of me?"
Wei Lincen was not the least bit guilty and met Qin Ruan's gaze with his dark, exquisite eyes, "This kid has the Yin Yang Eyes. Such a good constitution shouldn't go to waste in your hands.
As long as he joins my sect, I'll let him become the head of Qingcheng Taoist temple and pass on all my lifelong learnings to him."
He was truly considering taking Lin Hao under his wing.
The Yin Yang Eyes constitution was rare in the world.
Now that he encountered one, he couldn't help but want to fight for it.
Even if he knew it was hopeless, he couldn't resist the temptation.
Qin Ruan's playful expression subsided, her exquisite face showing contemplation.
She was actually considering whether to hand Lin Hao over to Wei Linchen.
The Taoist skills she learned from the Heavenly Master were only partially understood.
Her current abilities were all learned from the underworld and couldn't be taught to others.
"Qin Ruan, I advise you to stop considering such dangerous ideas."
Lin Hao's gloomy voice rang out.
Qin Ruan raised her head but remained silent, just staring at Lin Hao.
Frowning, Lin Hao looked at her disapprovingly, "My life doesn't belong to me now. It's only by your side that people can feel at ease."
This was indeed true, and Qin Ruan couldn't refute it.
Third Master kept Lin Hao here out of consideration for her face.
Lin Hao had even entered the Hou family's hidden guard department.
His situation wasn't something she could decide alone.
However, the issue of fear towards ghosts had to be resolved.
Without self-defense abilities, who wouldn't be afraid?
Qin Ruan thought to herself, if she didn't have the divine power from the underworld to ward off evil spirits, how would she have the courage to deal with them?
Lin Hao stared at Qin Ruan's contemplative face, thinking that she was still considering the idea of letting him join some Taoist sect.
He wasn't someone who could recite sutras and be a virtuous and kind person, unable to be a monk or a Taoist.
If he joined that Taoist temple, his life would become much less enjoyable.
To have a joyful life in the future, Lin Hao said, "Third Young Master said that once Hou Zhi wakes up, I won't be by your side all the time. It'll be Hou Zhi who will accompany you. After all, she's a woman, and it'll be more convenient for you in many ways."
"Is that so? Then let's talk about it later."
Qin Ruan wouldn't send Lin Hao to the Qingcheng Taoist temple.
She was thinking about how to make him have the ability to ward off evil spirits without getting close to them.
"Qin Ruan, something's wrong!"
Wei Linchen stopped rowing forward and solemnly reminded her.
His face was solemn as he stared at the center of the lake.
Qin Ruan's face didn't look good either, and her deep gaze stared at the water's surface.
She saw the six heads that were there before had disappeared.
They had entered the area of the artificial lake where the dark energy was dense.
Ripples appeared in the black water.
Qin Ruan saw Cheng Xuelan emerging from the water.
The young girl had blood-red eyes and wet hair, slowly floating to the surface.
Her blood-red eyes lacked any emotion, and there was a suffocating pressure in the whirlpool in her eyes.
"Why did you come back!"
Her cold question was filled with hatred.
Qin Ruan, holding Lin Hao's arm for support, stood steady, and she asked back, "Why are you afraid to see us?"
Cheng Xuelan seemed to be touching her bottom line.
The calm lake surface rippled, and waves surged like violent waves.
"Go away!"
Cheng Xuelan flew up and left the water.
Her black hair fluttered in the air, and her malevolent puppet body was filled with a strong death aura.
Qin Ruan didn't bother to waste words with her. Being in the water, there was a high chance of overturning the boat once they fought.
She couldn't risk hurting the child in her belly for the sake of dealing with a ghost.
With a raise of her wrist, the golden whip appeared in her palm.
She squinted her eyes and swung the Buddha's hand, releasing the golden whip.
Cheng Xuelan feared the golden whip and showed hatred in her eyes as she quickly submerged into the water.
This time, she had nowhere to escape.
The golden whip followed and pierced the water.
In just a few seconds, Cheng Xuelan was bound by the golden whip and pulled out of the water.
Qin Ruan reached towards the void.
The golden whip bound Cheng Xuelan and flew in front of Qin Ruan.
Cheng Xuelan's soaked clothes wrapped around her perfect figure, and the sinister and icy ghost body exuded a deathly aura.
