When I was back home, I heard that this was the sound made by the wedding procession when someone got married. However, this sound was more pleasant and joyful.

However, there was something different in this joy. What was it? I strained my ears but couldn't figure out what this different thing was.

"They're here, they're here! Did you hear it too?" Wang Shuo looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it!"

I did hear it, but there was still no yin energy around.

"Did you really hear it?" Wang Shuo widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

I nodded firmly but didn't speak because the sound was getting closer.

"The master last night didn't hear anything. Can you really hear it?" Wang Shuo still couldn't believe it and asked me for the third time. When he asked, I noticed he was a bit excited.

"Shut up!" I still didn't answer his silly question; I just told him to be quiet.

Now, I had to focus all my attention on listening to the sounds around me and sensing the yin energy. "I feel like someone is walking towards you, a woman. Her steps are very light."

"She stopped!"

"Wang Shuo..."

Suddenly, a ethereal female voice echoed from all around the room.

I looked around sharply, but I couldn't see anyone, nor could I sense any yin energy. This made me a bit confused; I had never encountered such a situation, nor had I read about it in any books.

There was a ghost's voice, but I couldn't see the ghost! Nor could I smell the ghost's presence! Could it be a spirit?

No, Grandpa said that whether it was a ghost or a spirit, they would have a different smell. There was no different smell here, which was very strange.

"It seems you can really hear them!" Wang Shuo was excited and tried to struggle out of bed, his expression like he had found a kindred spirit.

"The master last night pretended to hear it, but he told me it was an illusion and not to worry about it. In the end, he was wrong. Actually, I knew he didn't hear it because the expression should have been like yours."

I have to admit, Wang Shuo was indeed a smart person; he could analyze this.

I still ignored him and just focused on the voice. The woman's voice was very gentle, and she kept calling Wang Shuo's name. Her voice was strange, not coming from a fixed place but from all directions.

Could it be deliberately trying to bewitch my spirit?

Thinking of this, I quickly recited the Purifying Heart Spell: "Tai Shang Tai Xing, respond without pause, drive away evil and bind the spirits, protect life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, the mind is at peace, the three souls are eternal, the seven spirits are forever. Urgently, as the law commands!"

After reciting the Purifying Heart Spell, the surroundings became much quieter, and the woman's voice became even clearer. However, it still came from all directions, and I couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

No yin energy, the direction of the sound couldn't be determined, I had no choice but to wait.

"Brother, how's it going? Did you find where she is?" Wang Shuo asked me with anticipation.

I still didn't answer, continuing to use my consciousness and perception to communicate.

"No, no, Master, I should call you Master."

This had nothing to do with the title; I just didn't want to talk to him so much.

I ignored him, but this guy kept talking non-stop!

"As long as you save me and help me through this crisis, I'll recognize you as my big brother! Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. I'll tell you, I know several super-hot foreign women at the Blue Moon Club, with great figures, very sexy. If I'm fine, I'll take you there and have them all serve you."

I looked at Wang Shuo speechlessly. If this matter didn't intrigue me, I really wouldn't have planned to save him. He was lying in bed like this and still thinking about women...

But I couldn't blame him. After all, he had gotten used to hearing that woman's voice, so he didn't care anymore and kept talking. I remained silent throughout, waiting for something to happen, waiting for midnight to arrive.

Wang Shuo talked for a long time, and he finally got tired and slowly fell asleep. As Wang Shuo fell asleep, the voice disappeared, which was very strange!

I turned off the light in the room, making everything around me quiet.

Sitting alone in the room, I felt a bit tired, so I leaned back on the chair for a short rest. Who knew that I would fall asleep.

I was woken up by a cold breeze. I didn't know what time it was, but I felt very cold and woke up.

When I opened my eyes and looked around, things were different from the daytime.

During the day, the yang energy was strong, and there was no trace of yin energy. But now, a bit of yin energy began to spread in the room. The yin energy wasn't very strong, but it was the thing I had been waiting for.

Is she here? Is it the woman playing the guzheng?

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly saw a black shadow get up from the bed. Who was it? Was it Wang Shuo or the female ghost?

I couldn't see clearly because it was too dark, but I saw a dark figure stand up.

I quickly took out a previously drawn invisibility talisman. This talisman had no effect on humans; it was used in the yin world. With the invisibility talisman, ghosts couldn't see me, but I could see them. However, I didn't know if it would work because I had never tried it before.

To be honest, I was quite nervous. It wasn't my first time seeing a ghost, but it was my first time seeing one in this atmosphere.

I cautiously watched the black shadow. Suddenly, the shadow moved and walked towards the door.

Soon, I heard a "click."

The light in the room turned on! And the one who turned on the light was none other than Wang Shuo himself.

Wang Shuo?

I was a bit confused, but I didn't make a sound; I just silently watched him. He was very different from before. The previous Wang Shuo couldn't get out of bed, but now he could get up and walk.

Wang Shuo didn't see me; he walked lightly towards the bathroom.

Is Wang Shuo getting up to use the bathroom?

No!

Wang Shuo's steps were off. His steps were very light, and his walking posture was slow, like a woman.

Possessed by a ghost? No, because there was no yin energy!

What is he doing in there?

Thinking of this, I quickly got up.

I went to the bathroom door, which was tightly closed.

I didn't dare to open the door, but I was sure Wang Shuo was inside because there was movement.

Ten minutes later, Wang Shuo came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a blue long dress, his face was made up, and his lips were painted with bright red lipstick, looking like a sissy!

What the hell?

I was completely confused because, up to now, I hadn't seen any yin energy or the presence of a ghost on Wang Shuo.

What is he doing? Is it a split personality? If it's a split personality, how could he not see me?

Just as I reached the door, Wang Shuo turned back and came out again, this time holding a guzheng.

Wang Shuo carried the guzheng to the table in the room, placed it on the table, and then pulled a chair to sit down. Then, I saw him lift his hands and start playing the guzheng.

The melody was moving, the strings seemed to touch the deepest part of my soul. It was a touching and beautiful piece of music!

When the piece was over, I was still immersed in it.

But at that moment, a woman's voice echoed, "Young Master, did I play well?"
