Chapter 388 - 387: No Risk, No Gain

Chapter 388: Chapter 387: No Risk, No Gain

No matter how Gu Youyou knocked, Situ Zha inside just wouldn’t open the door.

In a place separated by only a door, Situ Zha stood with arms folded across his chest, looking small in stature but exuding an unrivaled level of confidence as he said, "Set up the Array, I don’t want our conversation to be overheard by those outside."

Mianmian also guessed that Situ Zha had something to say, so she followed his instructions and set up a Sound-absorbing Array to ensure that Gu Youyou couldn’t hear their conversation.

Once the Array was in place, Little Bun asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Situ Zha asked directly, "What are you guys planning to do about Lu You?"

"Lu You? Do you dislike Lu You as well?" Mianmian swayed her little arms, "How did you get so strong?"

Looking down from his superior height, Situ Zha’s eyes gleamed with disdain for Lu You, "You’re smart enough to know that I dislike him."

"Because your mom dislikes him too, so you dislike him as well, isn’t that easy to guess?" Mianmian shared her reasoning, then scratched her head, "The first time I saw him, I knew he wasn’t a good person, but catching someone requires evidence, and I can’t see any on him. That time before, there was clear evidence he was harming Ding Song, but he still got out scot-free."

Situ Zha didn’t know who Ding Song was, and on hearing that dealing with Lu You required evidence, and that Lu You had gotten away despite evidence against him before, a thoughtful look crossed his face.

In the past few days, he had been trying to understand the world through a mobile phone. Previously, his vision was limited, and there was much he didn’t understand or know, restricted by his childlike status.

After regaining his memories, he did know a bit more, but that came with certain restrictions.

He could be sure that his existence was not a result of love between his mother and Lu You, but certainly the result of some wrongdoing by Lu You. Just as Mianmian said, they needed evidence; without it, he couldn’t just slaughter Lu You! He could only think of a way to give him a lesson.

Unless he was prepared for his soul to scatter and vanish.

This was the restriction given after he agreed to reincarnate.

Before reincarnation, there were rules set.

Beings like him, even if they became Mortals again, would still be much more powerful. If they used such powers to kill Mortals at will, they would be headed down the path of soul scattering.

It was forbidden to harm Mortals, but they were free to kill Demons that preyed on humans.

Situ Zha also didn’t want to follow such rules, but he didn’t want to waste the hard-earned chance to live again just for the sake of Lu You.

The inner turmoil made Situ Zha’s expression dim considerably.

Seeing that Situ Zha was unhappy, Mianmian asked in a baby voice, "What’s wrong? Are you upset because you can’t deal with Lu You?"

Situ Zha glanced at Mianmian, "Yeah, I can’t deal with him either."

Mianmian let out a sigh, "I really dislike him too. He even intentionally had someone live-stream Mianmian, trying to make Mianmian disliked by the fans. Luckily, the fans still like me, otherwise that would have been bad."

As the two little ones stood face-to-face in distress inside the toilet, Rose’s voice came from outside the window.

"Little Auntie, we’re back!"

Rose passed through the wall into the toilet and found Mianmian and Situ Zha standing together inside, blinking in surprise.

Phoenix Fairy was also astonished.

The two Ghosts looked at each other before deciding to report the results of their investigation first.

"That Hu Yingying is indeed selling red threads, and she’s moving quite a lot of them. She seems to be wearing something that repels ghosts, so we couldn’t get too close. We observed from a distance and then followed the buyers to reach this conclusion. We wanted to find out the source of the red threads, but Hu Yingying picks them up from different places each time, and whenever we got close to the delivery person, we felt a burning sensation, so we couldn’t continue to investigate."

After Rose finished speaking, Phoenix Fairy made a respectful bow towards Mianmian and added apologetically, "Sorry, Little Auntie, if our cultivation base were higher, we might have been able to find out more."

"No problem, it’s good to know she’s selling red threads." Mianmian thought for a moment, then made another request to the two Ghosts, "Although you can’t get close to Hu Yingying and the delivery person, there is someone you should be able to approach, which is Mianmian’s teacher."

She said this and called Su Chenyan.

The children of Class Three should have been picked up by now, so her fifth grand-nephew should already be playing with Teacher Liao. After finding out where they were playing, she asked the two Ghosts to follow them to see if the red threads on Teacher Liao and the fifth grand-nephew were problematic.

Mother always said that one must not be overly confident! Even the slightest suspicion could prove decisive.

Her second grand-niece-in-law had just mentioned someone selling red threads, and then a red thread appeared between Teacher Liao and the fifth grand-nephew, and the thread was also related to Fen Tian; Mianmian felt it was best to be cautious.

As Mianmian mulled over these things, Su Chenyan’s voice came from the little mobile phone, "Little Auntie, why are you calling? Is there something you need?"

"I want to know where my fifth grand-nephew is."

Su Chenyan, "Oh, Teacher Liao and I are eating at Lanyu Restaurant."

Mianmian pressed, "Where is Lanyu Restaurant?"

Su Chenyan quickly sent his location to Mianmian, "Little Auntie, I’ve sent you the address."

"Okay, then. You guys eat slowly, and come home early, fifth grand-nephew."

After bidding farewell to Su Chenyan, Mianmian hung up the phone and asked the two Ghosts to go to Lanyu Restaurant to find them.

Upon receiving the order, the two Ghosts happily phased through the walls and flew out again.

Situ Zha watched Mianmian commanding the Ghosts and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Ghost Control Technique?"

The Ghost Control Technique, as the name implies, is a type of Magic used by Cultivators to command Ghosts. Ghosts subjected to this Magic obey the orders of the one who cast it, doing whatever they are instructed to do.

The most famous of these is the Five Ghosts Moving Technique.

"No, no, it’s not the Ghost Control Technique." Mianmian clarified, "They’re helping me out of their own volition, not because I used Magic on them."

Situ Zha didn’t dwell on this topic, simply stating, "Then why don’t you let them teach Lu You a lesson? Just like that Mistress Ghost, if you don’t go to their home, Lu You will definitely suffer more bad luck."

"That’s not right. Actually, Lu You has connections with FenTian’s side, too. If Mianmian doesn’t go, he’ll have other ways to break the spell."

Hearing the name FenTian again, Situ Zha felt a headache coming on.

He had nearly become FenTian’s puppet, and now this person he disliked also had connections with FenTian; what a small world it was. But if Su Mianmian already knew about the connection between FenTian and Lu You and still went to Lu You’s house, wouldn’t that be walking into a trap?

"Since you knew he was connected to FenTian, you still went? How foolish is that?"

"Not foolish, not foolish at all." Mianmian was quick to argue, staring at Situ Zha very seriously, "This is called ’you can’t catch the cub without entering the tiger’s den’; it’s also a kind of strategy."

Situ Zha just snorted coolly and after a while suddenly said again, "Don’t talk about that Mistress Ghost in front of my mom, got it?"

Mianmian scratched her head.

She had looked up the meaning of ’Mistress’ online and knew it referred to someone who disrupts another’s family.

But what did the Mistress Ghost have to do with Situ Jing? It seemed so important to Situ Zha that he even made a special trip to tell her about it. It was very strange indeed.
