Chapter 738: Chapter 735: Just a slight lift of the hand

At this moment, Helian Qiao is still sitting on her bike, her red lips moving non-stop as she speaks: "Tingyun, that Shao Chenhui is the most formidable human tyke I’ve ever met. I must have a showdown with him and out-eat him!"

Gently pursing his lips, Gu Tingyun is not amused hearing Guibao constantly mention another boy, so he changes the subject: "Guibao, what would you like for lunch tomorrow? I can ask Mrs. Wu at home to prepare it and bring it to school."

The cafeteria’s food is mediocre at best. Although the little hamster cleaned her plate, she wasn’t as thoroughly satisfied as when she tastes something delicious.

So, he specifically went to the canteen to enquire and found out that students are allowed to bring their own food from home to heat up, and decided to do so.

"I want braised heavyweight shrimp, stewed lamb chops, sweet and sour ribs, charcoal-grilled yellow fish..."

Heartened by the idea of food, Helian Qiao passionately listed a series of dishes, all of them being quite extravagant.

Gu Tingyun thought for a moment then picked three dishes from the list: "Then I’ll have Mrs. Wu prepare braised prawn, grilled yellow fish and sweet-and-sour ribs for you, and the rest can be prepared another time."

He’ll also bring along two vegetable dishes for a balanced, nutritious meal.

"Deal!" Helian Qiao excitedly nodded in agreement.

As they entered the alley, from afar, Gu Tingyun noticed something was amiss.

Guibao’s house was completely dark, but there were two figures, one old and one young, standing at the entrance.

The older one was clad in a traditional Chinese suit with snow-white hair, while the younger one, only around seven or eight years old, had a bloody hole in his head. Given their deathly pale complexions, it was clear at a glance that they were a pair of ghosts.

With one foot on the ground, he glared coldly at the two ghosts in front of him. His gaze was so sharp it seemed almost tangible.

Zhan Zaiqian, the elder ghost, upon feeling his gaze, asked in surprise, "Young man, can you see us?"

Helian Qiao then remembered that she hadn’t yet told Gu Tingyun about this.

So, she lightly tapped his arm and cheerfully said, "Tingyun, don’t worry. They are the deceased owners of the house, they mean no harm. They won’t bully you. Plus, I’m really good at dealing with ghosts!"

Seeing her defending him, Gu Tingyun curled his lips in a slight smile, a hint of warmth in his eyes. He simply nodded, not expressing any fear, "Okay, let’s go in first."

However, the moment his gaze fell upon the pair of ghosts, his expression became icy cold.

He was afraid that Guibao’s naive personality would lead her to be deceived by the two ghosts.

After parking the bike inside the courtyard, he asked, "Why didn’t you reincarnate after death?"

For a ghost to remain in the world, they must hold a grudge.

Like old Lady Li in the commune who remains out of discontent, bringing harm to the living.

He will not give them a chance to harm Guibao!

"Young man, I won’t hide from you that we hold a grudge towards Zhan Zaiqian. We won’t rest in peace nor will we be able to reincarnate until he pays for his deeds." Zhan Zaiqian confessed openly, his demeanor calm and collected.

As for the young boy beside him, the mere mention of Zhan Zaiqian darkened his features, his whole being emanating ominous energy as a black rage began to take form around him.

Gu Tingyun, observing this, showed no signs of fear.

He felt that with a mere whisk of his hand, these two ghosts could be obliterated instantly.

Helian Qiao, once again curious, asked, "Who is Zhan Zaiqian, anyway?"

"He’s the one who killed me and my grandpa!" The boy cried out in exasperated fury, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

Upon seeing this, Zhan Zaiqian immediately calmed the boy down, tenderly stroking his head and softly soothing him, "Child, calm down."
