Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Fu Shiyan Comes Knocking

"Little Master." Fu Shiyan saw Xia Xin and nodded politely with a faint smile, asking, "Is the Abbot in?"

Coming back to his senses, Xia Xin hastily replied, "Yes, yes, the old patriarch is waiting for you guys."

He swung the door wide open.

"Please come in quickly."

Fu Shiyan thanked him and walked in first.

Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan, refusing to give way to each other, squeezed shoulder to shoulder into the room.

Behind them was a person Xia Xin had not seen before.

But...

He inexplicably found this person somewhat familiar.

As if he had seen him somewhere before.

Yet he couldn’t recall at the moment.

Now was not the time to think about these things; Xia Xin closed the door and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way, curiously asking, "Mr. Fu, what brings you here today, is there something wrong?"

"We’ve found some clues regarding Lin Yurong’s case and wanted the Abbot to have a look," Fu Shiyan said politely, considering Jiangli’s presence.

Xia Xin exclaimed in surprise, "You’ve already found some clues?"

Fu Shiyan simply nodded.

Xia Xin was taken aback.

As expected from a super-rich tycoon.

Just so willful.

He led Fu Shiyan and the others into the side hall.

As soon as they entered, Xia Xin smelled a fragrance, "Old patriarch, have you been burning incense here?"

He peeked inside and saw Jiangli with an incense burner in front of him.

That incense burner...

He remembered it was a treasure his master used to keep in the side hall.

A collection too precious to use.

He even recalled being scolded by his master once for misusing this particular incense burner.

Why had the old patriarch taken out this incense burner?

While pondering suspiciously, Xia Xin suddenly heard a scream.

"This, this person, why is he so strange?! Is he a human or a ghost?!"

Xia Xin turned his head to look.

The scream came from the unfamiliar face.

Following his gaze, Xia Xin saw Lin Yurong standing next to Jiangli.

He stared at Lin Yurong, trembling, with every pore seeming to scream fear, clenched tightly onto Wen Zishu’s arm, wishing he could hide behind Wen Zishu.

However, Wen Zishu was not doing much better himself.

He was also shaking, "Damn... why do I feel that this isn’t a living person, why is her body semi-transparent?"

"Nonsense, it’s obviously a ghost," Duan Jianchuan said with a stern face, not missing the chance to bicker with Wen Zishu.

And...

He felt this girl looked familiar...

If he wasn’t mistaken, the girl in the photo Fu Shiyan sent him late last night was the girl in front of him.

Back then, he thought the semi-transparent shadow in the photo was a special effect.

Now, it seemed...

This girl was probably not human, right?

Xia Xin questioned in doubt, "You... you can see her?"

"...You can’t see her?" Wen Zishu swallow saliva and asked, "Does that mean only we can see her?"

Xia Xin waved his hands, "No, no, it’s not like that, of course, I can see her, but you..."

He meant to ask how Wen Zishu and the others could see her.

But his words stopped abruptly.

Whirling his head around, Xia Xin gazed at the incense burner before Jiangli and suddenly understood.

No wonder the old patriarch suddenly started burning incense.

The incense was probably made of rhinoceros horn, which after burning, could temporarily open the Heavenly Eye and communicate with wraiths.

Realizing this, Xia Xin explained to them, "She is Lin Yurong, the one taken in by the Abbot at Jiaoyang Temple. The reason you can see her is probably because the Abbot burned rhinoceros horn incense, which allowed you to temporarily communicate with spirits."

Wen Zishu: "..."

Shang Junxiao: "..."

A second of silence.

The two men simultaneously exclaimed.

"So she really is a ghost?!"

"So she really is a ghost!!!"
