Chapter 50: Pei Yanlin: To put it bluntly, it is favoritism
Pei Yanlin looked at him apologetically. "Yanxing, I'm sorry. In the past, none of us believed that you could actually see those things, and we always thought you were just talking to yourself."
"It's fine," Pei Yanxing said softly, keeping his head down.
Perhaps because he rarely spoke, even now when he opened his mouth, he still carried a hint of timidity.
"Yanxing, do you want to go outside and test whether you really can't see them anymore?" Who knew if the female ghost driven away by Bai Qianzhou earlier had left or not.
Since the effect was unknown, going out to take a look was the best option; if nothing could be seen at all, that would naturally be the most ideal outcome.
"Test what? Since Zhouzhou said it works, it definitely works. Don't be impatient. With Zhouzhou around, no ghosts nearby would dare to come and stir up trouble."
Recalling the scenes of Bai Qianzhou beating up fierce ghosts and interacting with Impermanence of Life and Death, Pei Yanlin figured there wouldn't be any major problems.
"Mm." Pei Yanxing nodded.
Just the fact that Bai Qianzhou could skewer a ghost with a single chopstick was enough for him to think she was formidable, and he was willing to trust her.
If from now on he truly stopped seeing ghosts altogether, he would be willing to give her all his allowance, including his snacks!
Late at night, aside from falling out of bed twice, Bai Qianzhou slept quite peacefully through the night.
As for falling out of bed, if she didn't mention it, who would ever know?
When Bai Qianzhou woke up, it was already past ten in the morning. Had it not been for the hunger in her stomach, she probably would have continued to sleep.
"My younger sister hasn't woken up yet. It won't be too late to go after she wakes up." Downstairs, Pei Yanlin's voice drifted up.
"Is Zhouzhou really going to be fine? Will there be danger? How about I try finding other master practitioners to take a look?" Pei He-xuan looked at the few people sitting in the living room.
"Dad, don't you trust your daughter?" Pei Yanlin raised an eyebrow.
"It's not that I don't trust her, but I'm afraid things might be too dangerous. What if she gets hurt?" Pei He-xuan shot him an annoyed glare.
Given how serious Bai Qianzhou's expression had been when she mentioned the Pei Family Manor earlier, the situation was bound to be troublesome, and Pei He-xuan was worried she might get hurt.
"Dad, when I was being haunted by that female ghost earlier, how come I didn't see you being this concerned about me?" Feeling aggrieved, Pei Yanlin just had to ask.
"Zhouzhou is my daughter. Can you compare to her? Besides, with Zhouzhou protecting you, what could possibly happen to you?" Pei He-xuan looked at his son with utter disdain.
"To put it bluntly, you're just biased." Pei Yanlin let out a huff.
Pei Yanxing and Pei YanHui both cast a look at Pei Yanlin: Second Brother, before you accuse our uncle of being biased, can you rewind time back to last night?
After leaving Bai Qianzhou's room, the two of them had been forcibly dragged into Pei Yanlin's room to be lectured on the greatness of Bai Qianzhou, and didn't manage to drift off into a hazy sleep until the middle of the night.
The whole night had been spent listening to how amazing Bai Qianzhou was—how she could catch ghosts, summon the Gates of Hell, and chat with the Black and White Impermanence.
Well, although they were quite curious to see the Black and White Impermanence themselves, Pei Yanlin had been entirely too smug about it.
"Other people wouldn't be able to handle it!" Just at that moment, Bai Qianzhou walked slowly down the stairs, letting out a yawn, carrying an air of laziness and indifference.
Even though she might be a bit unlucky, her abilities were far superior to those self-righteous old Taoist priests.
"Alright, then we'll listen to Zhouzhou. Is there anything else we need to prepare?" Pei He-xuan smiled as he looked toward Bai Qianzhou, his eyes filled with anticipation and trust.
Bai Qianzhou shook her head. "Nothing needs to be prepared."
Everything that should be prepared had already been taken care of, and the required talisman papers had also been drawn by her. Next, it was time to see what was truly going on at the Pei Family Manor.
"Let's eat first, and we can discuss what comes next after the meal." Bai Lu pulled Bai Qianzhou over to eat.
