Chapter 166: Evil Ghost Possession
Meanwhile.
Compared to being occasionally harassed by a few annoying things in S City, Nan Yuanman’s days in Shangjing were very peaceful and fulfilling.
With a compensatory mindset, Meng Qingwan took her out shopping and playing every day. If not for Feng Congqian waiting at home, they could have played outside for three or four days without returning.
At first, Feng Congqian was worried that Nan Yuanman wouldn’t be used to life in Shangjing. Seeing how well she adapted, he felt slightly relieved, but he still couldn’t help feeling a bit sour when he saw Nan Yuanman being close with Meng Qingwan.
The Feng family members also had various matters to attend to and couldn’t always accompany Nan Yuanman. With Meng Qingwan around, Nan Yuanman wouldn’t feel lonely.
This massive manor also benefited Nan Yuanman. At night, when everyone fell asleep, she would find a remote spot to release Old Master Nan to absorb the moon’s essence.
Xiao Cao and Zhuang Zhuang also had places to play and frolic, but… it wasn’t great for the servants who got up at night to use the toilet.
After half a month of wild play, Nan Yuanman transformed from a shorty into a solid little meatball.
Feng Langqing also finished his work and hurriedly flew back to Shangjing. As soon as he arrived at the manor, he shouted: “Yuanman! Third brother is back!”
Nan Yuanman hadn’t seen Feng Langqing for a long time either and happily ran out: “Third brother!”
The siblings excitedly hugged each other. Feng Langqing picked her up and bounced her up and down: “Whoa, you’ve gained a lot of weight!”
Nan Yuanman hugged his neck and giggled nonstop.
Feng Congqian, dressed in a gray casual outfit, gave him a faint glance and said: “Be careful, don’t drop her.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t drop her. By the way, Dad.” Feng Langqing held Nan Yuanman and looked at Feng Congqian: “When are we holding a family reunion banquet?”
He had started planning it ever since he saw the Jiang family hold their family reunion banquet in S City. He wanted everyone to know he had a cute sister!
No one in Shangjing could bully her!
Feng Congqian also looked at Nan Yuanman. He really wanted to hold a family reunion banquet, but he was afraid it would give her psychological trauma. He hesitated and asked: “Yuanman, what do you think?”
“Sure!” Nan Yuanman nodded her little head.
The Feng family wasn’t like the Jiang family; they wouldn’t do something so embarrassing. This family reunion banquet would definitely be different from the Jiang family’s.
Although she hadn’t started calling him father yet, her interactions with Feng Congqian were already much like an ordinary father and daughter.
Feng Congqian’s eyes lit up, suppressing his excitement: “I’ll check the days in the next couple of days and start preparing!”
“What are you all talking about?” Meng Qingwan’s crisp voice came from behind Feng Langqing. He turned around and called out to her.
Meng Qingwan greeted him, rubbed her hands with a grin, stepped forward, and snatched Nan Yuanman from his arms. She cheek-to-cheek rubbed her frantically: “Aww, Yuanman, I missed you so much after just half a day!”
Nan Yuanman giggled nonstop and stared at her curiously for a moment before asking: “Auntie Qingwan, did you go to the hospital?”
“Nothing can be hidden from you, little immortal aunt.” Meng Qingwan tapped her nose, her expression odd as she said: “Meng Linlin is blind and has gone mad, insisting that a ghost is possessing her.”
She had gone to the hospital this time because her good father had been frantically calling her, berating her for not controlling Nan Yuanman properly, which led to Nan Yuanman pushing Meng Linlin and causing her blindness. He demanded she come up with a plan immediately, or he would personally come to Feng Congqian for justice.
Meng Qingwan had brought bodyguards to the hospital and put on a show of shutting the door to beat the dog, leaving Meng Ruixiang too intimidated to fart.
However, before leaving the hospital, she had gone to see Meng Linlin. Her two eyes were indeed blind, reportedly from sleepwalking at night and stabbing chopsticks from the bedside table into her own eyes.
If the nurse on rounds hadn’t discovered it in time, she would have bled to death.
Not only that, after waking up from the rescue, she had thrown a tantrum in the hospital room, screaming that there was a ghost in the hospital! That a ghost was possessing her! She wouldn’t let anyone approach her, and when Chen Siyun tried to comfort her, she scratched her face.
Meng Qingwan suddenly remembered that before Meng Linlin arrived, Nan Yuanman had said a little brother tripped her. Unable to hold back, she looked at Nan Yuanman and whispered: “Yuanman, could it be that by her side… there’s really…?”
Nan Yuanman nodded: “Yes, there is.”
A chill suddenly ran down Meng Qingwan’s spine, and she couldn’t help but hug Nan Yuanman tightly.
Nan Yuanman comfortingly patted her arm: “Don’t worry, there’s none by your side.”
“That big sister called Meng Linlin indeed has a male ghost following her. There’s a strong karmic connection between the male ghost and her; his death is likely related to her.”
Nan Yuanman said: “That male ghost had both eyes gouged out, many wounds from razor blades on his body, twisted legs and arms. He suffered great torment in life, which fueled such strong grievance to become a ghost for revenge.”
“Once he finishes his revenge, he’ll leave! He won’t harm others.”
Unable to hold back, Meng Qingwan asked: “Then little Yuanman, aren’t you going to help? In your line of work, slaying demons and exorcising evil should be your responsibility, right?”
“No, I don’t know how others do it, but Grandpa said our sect has three no-saves: no saving those without connection, no saving those without virtue, no saving great evildoers.”
“Meng Linlin has no connection to me and is a great evildoer; I’m not saving her.”
Feng Langqing gave Meng Qingwan a sideways glance: “Mom, you’re not thinking of having Yuanman help her, are you?”
Meng Qingwan rolled her eyes in annoyance: “Am I the kind of person who repays evil with good?” She wished Meng Linlin, Chen Siyun, and her unscrupulous old man would go straight to the western paradise right now! Save her? Bullshit!
“Then let’s not bother with her. Let’s think about how to arrange the family reunion banquet and who to invite.” Feng Langqing excitedly rubbed his hands.
“Not to mention others, but Zining, Yanxiu, Jingcheng—they should at least be called back, right?” Meng Qingwan put the Meng family out of her mind, her willow brows furrowed, somewhat unhappy: “Yuanman has been back for half a month, and these three brothers haven’t come to see her.”
“Feng Zining is abroad discussing business. Yanxiu is probably still lovingly tending to his pile of flowers and plants. As for Jingcheng, I messaged him and he didn’t reply; I don’t know where he’s run off to.” Feng Langqing pursed his lips, pulled out his mobile phone to call Feng Jingcheng, when Feng Zining’s call came in first.
“Second Brother.” As soon as he answered, Feng Zining’s slightly fatigued voice, tinged with anxiety, came through: “Do you know where Jingcheng is? I called him and he didn’t pick up; messages too, no reply.”
“He didn’t reply to you either?” Feng Langqing frowned, a bad premonition surging in his heart: “He didn’t reply to my messages either. Don’t worry yet; I’ll have Second Brother look for him.”
As he spoke, he looked up at Feng Congqian, who immediately messaged Feng Xingchi.
Feng Zining took a deep breath and said gravely in detail: “Before, he would ask me for money every ten days, but now half a month has passed. After I finished my busy work, I realized he hasn’t contacted me or my assistant in half a month. Third brother, Jingcheng might be in trouble!”
Just as he finished speaking, Feng Xingchi’s message came through. The last place he traced Feng Jingcheng to was Shangjing Hospital, after which he vanished like evaporation from the human world.
The others present sensed the bad premonition. Meng Qingwan immediately contacted people to search, Feng Langqing called his buddies for help, and Feng Congqian methodically arranged for people to look.
The originally relaxed atmosphere gradually became tense. Nan Yuanman looked at this one, then that one, raised her little hand and asked: “Um… do you have his personal clothing or eight characters? I might be able to help you find him!”
Feng Zining paused upon hearing that childish voice. Feng Langqing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately told Nan Yuanman Feng Jingcheng’s eight characters.
Nan Yuanman quickly calculated Feng Jingcheng’s eight characters. Her steamed bun face instantly turned serious. She turned around, grabbed her small shoulder bag, and ran outside, shouting as she ran: “The divination result shows he’s in the southeast direction. Southeast is the Kan water upright position, which is the ghost gate. Water enters earth, yin and yang intersect—it’s a sign of evil ghost possession!”
“Third brother, his condition isn’t good! Hurry and come with me to save him! If we’re half a day late, he’ll die!”
