Chapter 195: A Little Revenge
An arrogant look was plastered all over the young man’s face.
"What?" He sneered. "What can you do about it?"
Xiao Qingya’s face flushed a little, feeling angry. Both siblings were concentrating on asking the ghosts that they didn’t notice someone was approaching.
After a while, she slowly calmed down.
She already had an idea on how to take revenge against this annoying guy.
[Xiao Xue, come here.] The little one called the System with a wicked smile inside her mind.
Outwardly, she still had the cute and harmless look on her face. She tugged on her brother’s shoulder gently. "Let’s go, Eldest Brother."
Xiao Jingran nodded and gave Lan Yushen a meaningful look before they retreated away. Thinking that they were fleeing away gave Lan Yushen a sense of satisfaction.
He crossed his hands on his chest. "Look, you were new to the Capital before and didn’t know I was. Now, you should be aware. Aren’t you fleeing away in fright?"
Still feeling smug in his heart, Lan Yushen turned around and called over his lackeys to follow after him.
They were going to make trouble again today.
Upon seeing Lan Yushen, some stall owners had a look of fear and reluctance on their faces, trying their best not to attract this troublemaker.
His parents really spoiled him a lot.
They had once brought up his conduct to the Grand Tutor’s mansion, but as soon as they arrived there, some men threatened them. They didn’t know whether the men were from the Grand Tutor’s mansion.
If they were... it meant that the Grand Tutor’s mansion indulged Lan Yushen’s behavior. Against such a high-ranking noble household, what can they do?
They could only swallow their unwillingness and grievance.
At this moment, Lan Yushen didn’t realize that a small white bundle of fluff was following after him.
Xiao Xue put a talisman on him and then ran away.
"Do you hear someone whispering..." Lan Yushen felt a chill running down his spine. He frowned deeply.
"What whisper–"
He abruptly turned to the people around him, his frowning becoming deeper. "Is it you?"
The person was taken aback and then shook his head. "Young Master Lan, I was so far away from you, how can you hear me whispering? I didn’t."
Lan Yushen pointed to another person and each of them refused to admit it. Because they really hadn’t done something as ridiculous as whispering in his ears.
They knew how vengeful Lan Yushen was. How could they do something that might anger him?
"Then... who is it?" Lan Yushen swore that he had just heard that whisper again just now.
Seeing everyone looking at him weirdly before looking away, he felt awkward and some anger. Raising his tone, he told them. "Let’s go!"
In another place, Xiao Qingya’s face was all scrunched up. "Eldest Brother, let’s go find Second Sister in a more secluded place next time."
She wasn’t sure if the kidnappers would go to such a crowded place to buy some necessities.
There weren’t any ghosts around who knew about a recent case. Some of them were aware of kidnapping cases, but it had happened some time ago. Half a year to a year’s time.
Then, she realized a serious thinking problem.
Even if the kidnappers went to the market to buy necessities, the ghosts wouldn’t know what they had done unless they followed him.
And ghosts generally wouldn’t do that unless provoked.
"Little Ya is right." Xiao Jingran nodded. "Let’s travel all over the Capital, shall we?"
She was also spreading a competition to the ghost. If they could find a clue about her Second Sister, she would give them special incense.
These incense made by her Master was incredibly attractive to the ghosts.
After searching for a while, they returned because it was already quite late. Xiao Qingya would bring her eldest sister next so that the ghosts would know what her second sister looked like.
Once they arrived home, Xiao Qingya immediately went to find her eldest sister.
Xiao Yuxi and Xiao Fenghao had also teamed up during the day to walk around the Capital’s streets.
"Eldest Sister, tomorrow, you will join us!" She ran toward her eldest sister and tugged on Xiao Yuxi’s sleeve.
[We can borrow her face so that the ghosts recognize the Second Sister.]
Upon hearing her little plan, Xiao Yuxi immediately nodded. "I will go with you and Eldest Brother tomorrow."
Currently, they were still living in Zhou Defeng’s house so they didn’t dare to be too loud when speaking at night.
The process of buying the house next door was pretty quick and would soon finish. Once it was settled, they could do more activity at night without the fear of disturbing the home owners.
As the Xiao family members went to rest to prepare for tomorrow, in another place, Lan Yushen grew increasingly anxious.
He could tell that there was something wrong with him, which made him wonder whether he had gone crazy.
Occasionally, he would feel someone was poking or whispering at him. In his irritation, he couldn’t help but accuse the person closest to him.
"Young Master Lan, it really isn’t me." The person muttered, growing from initial fear to annoyance.
Lan Yushen had been accusing a lot of them, and they also wondered what was wrong with him.
"Young Master Lan, are you feeling unwell?" Someone asked in a concerned tone.
Lan Yushen subconsciously smacked the hand away, and their eyes changed.
He noticed the look on their faces and pursed his lips. In the end, he gritted his teeth and admitted. "I am indeed not feeling well. I will return first."
With that, he took a few quick steps away from them, grumbling in his heart.
The more he stayed away from the crowd... Why did he feel even more uncomfortable?
His surroundings also became oddly too quiet at this moment.
All of a sudden, something wet dripped into his head and he couldn’t help but look up.
