A bone-deep chill washed over him in an instant, and the old man's eyes instinctively narrowed.
He looked toward Su Nian, his eyes pleading for help, but Su Nian simply gave a faint smile and turned to leave.
Qingya froze. She didn't want to be branded with the reputation of having caused her own grandfather's death.
She quickly grabbed Su Nian's arm. But when she looked back at her grandfather, strangely enough, the odd figure was gone. It was as if it had all been a hallucination.
Qingya swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe. She wasn't sure if Su Nian had taken the ghost away.
'Could it be that the master had a change of heart at the last minute and decided not to make things difficult for Grandfather after all?'
That was her hopeful guess, but she didn't know that while the ghost was indeed invisible now, she was still there. She just couldn't kill her grandfather.
