"Well, that’s good, as doing bad things can indeed deduct your lifespan or merit," Xia Xi nodded.

Afterwards, Xia Yue watched as Xia Xi busied herself with engraving a jade pendant.

Xia Yue sat in front of her, watching very intently.

"This is a Defensive Jade Pendant. I haven’t given Grandpa his gift yet, so I’m taking this chance to engrave it," Xia Xi said to Xia Yue.

"Your hands are really skillful. I can’t believe I struggled so much in craft classes growing up, just barely passing," Xia Yue acknowledged, nodding her head.

"It’s not like I was good at this right away. It took me a year of carving stone before I got to this level. Moreover, as long as the Array is successfully put into it, appearance is secondary. But since it’s a gift for Grandpa, it should look good," Xia Xi explained.

"You must have so much patience and endurance. I couldn’t do it. I just want to lie down, eat, and wait to die," Xia Yue looked at Xia Xi with admiration and praised her.

Soon, it was midnight.

Xia Xi told the three ghosts the location of Song Qin and Xia Qing’s rooms and sent them to scare the people inside.

"So, we’re just going to wait here?" Xia Yue asked Xia Xi after watching the three ghosts phase through the wall.

"We will watch the live show. Lock the door and don’t answer if anyone knocks," Xia Xi told Xia Yue.

"Okay." Xia Yue got up to lock the door and then came back.

By this time, a bronze mirror was already set up in front of Xia Xi.

"Sit down, it’s about to start," Xia Xi called to Xia Yue.

Xia Yue looked at her with curiosity and sat down. Then she saw Xia Xi making hand gestures, chanting incantations, and the image within the bronze mirror started to change into a familiar scene.

After a while, Xia Yue realized that it was Song Qin and Xia Qing’s room, dimly lit by a faint night light, with the occupants already asleep.

"Just watch quietly," Xia Xi said with a smile as she stopped her gestures.

"This is amazing," Xia Yue said in awe, watching the scene within the mirror.

[What’s so amazing about it? It’s just the Mirror Moonwater technique. Once your cultivation base improves, you can do the same.] The system couldn’t help but comment, seeing its host’s inexperienced reaction.

"But I don’t know how to do it now," Xia Yue replied honestly.

[This Xia Xi’s cultivation base is certainly very impressive. For such a young age, she already masters the Mirror Moonwater technique so proficiently. Although she is using a tool, I still have to admire her talent.] The System looked at Xia Xi with approval and couldn’t help but think how safe it would be if this girl was the host for the System.

"I also think she’s amazing," Xia Yue nodded, her eyes fixed on the scene within the mirror.

By this time, the lady in red had already entered Xia Qing’s room, while the lady in white and the male ghost entered the room of Song Qin and Lin Song.

They were creating some scary noises in the room, such as knocking down bottles and jars on the dressing table, switching the bedside lamp on and off, and opening and closing the patio windows.

The sleeping occupants were awakened by the noise. Both Song Qin and Lin Song woke up groggily, then heard:

"Hee hee hee, awake yet? Hee hee hee," The white lady ghost whispered with a hollow laugh.

Upon hearing the laughter, the two who were still somewhat sleepy were instantly jolted awake, doubting if they were hearing things.

"Honey, did you hear a woman’s laughter?" Song Qin, clutching Lin Song’s hand, leaned closer into him and asked fearfully.
