Zhang Yang's heart sank when he heard what Su Nian said. Even the thick makeup couldn't hide the terror on his face.
He had sought out many, many masters, but found that none were as skilled as his own grandfather. However, his grandfather was in poor health and currently ill. His father said it was because he had meddled in these supernatural affairs too often, damaging his spiritual virtue, which led to his current state.
Now, after finally finding Su Nian on the recommendation of his grandfather's close friend, he naturally trusted in her abilities. But the very first thing she said was utterly terrifying.
He couldn't help but shiver. Clearing his throat, he asked tremulously, "Master, are you saying... there's a ghost around me?"
Seeing him act as if he genuinely had no idea, a flicker of doubt crossed Su Nian's eyes. "You really don't know the reason?"
Zhang Yang looked up, and in his nervous eyes, Su Nian could somehow see a kind of clear-eyed stupidity.
