Chapter 683 - 681: The Family’s Charlatan (Part 6)

On the other person, he couldn’t detect any aura related to a Mystic Master, nor was he afraid of ordinary Mystic Masters. He didn’t know why, but his Soul Body was somewhat special, and he could stand under the sun without any problems.

After death, he did not enter the Underworld. In fact, as long as he concealed his aura, ordinary Mystic Masters couldn’t detect anything amiss.

Understanding his own uniqueness, Hua Wen did not relax; instead, he became more cautious in his actions. He felt that if someone discovered his condition, trouble could arise.

He wasn’t just wandering aimlessly. Ever since he died, he confirmed that he wouldn’t negatively affect his family’s health, so he liked to stay around his family.

Sometimes he stayed at home, sometimes he would accompany them when they went out. Even though he really wanted to reunite with his family, he was also afraid of bringing them trouble, so he dismissed the idea.

Accompanying them and seeing them doing well seemed alright too.

Today, he was out with his dad when he suddenly smelled a scent that was very comforting to his Soul Body, which led him to float over here and witness the current situation.

"I’m sorry," Hua Wen apologized to the person beside him who wasn’t startled and was about to float away.

Ah Chen said, "No hurry, you can stay a while longer and make a friend."

She wasn’t worried that the driver would notice anything wrong, since she had been talking to her phone several times, the driver probably knew she was live streaming.

Hua Wen was surprised. Indeed, he didn’t really want to leave just like that.

One reason was the thing that was comforting to his Soul Body, and the second reason he couldn’t think of for now, he just didn’t want to leave like that.

"Are you a Mystic Master?" Hua Wen asked. Being able to see him and not being scared, obviously, she wasn’t an ordinary person. Besides a Mystic Master, he couldn’t think of anything else.

Ah Chen replied, "Not exactly."

"But the people outside would think I am."

"I was attracted by the Ancient Jade around your neck; it makes my Soul Body feel very comfortable and feels like staying longer could make me stronger," Hua Wen said. He had a vague feeling that if she really wanted to harm him, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

So, he might as well confess his earlier behavior.

"I originally wanted to stay around a little longer, didn’t expect you to see me. Sorry for earlier."

Ah Chen laughed, "It’s okay."

This ghost had a clean Soul Body; he obviously hadn’t done anything bad. He could appear in broad daylight and wasn’t afraid of the sun, which was somewhat surprising and clearly not simple.

But thinking about her little fragment, it suddenly didn’t seem strange anymore.

However, the other person’s Soul Body seemed to have a missing part, just at the position on the forehead, like something was missing. If that thing were completed, unimaginable things might happen.

"My name is Hua Wen," Hua Wen introduced himself, thinking this young girl was very friendly.

It was the first time he appeared before someone like this, having been dead for many years, afraid of scaring people, he never revealed himself to people, feeling a bit lonely and bored.

All of a sudden, there was someone who could see him, wasn’t afraid, and was friendly, he also had the urge to chat, it had been a long time since he talked to anyone.

"Feng Chen," Ah Chen said her current name, "Why are you still lingering here?"

"I don’t know either," Hua Wen shook his head, "Perhaps it’s obsession?"

Ah Chen, however, stared at the spot on his forehead, suddenly having a thought: Could it be the Soul Body’s lack that prevented him from going where he should be?

"What are you looking at?" Hua Wen was curious, her gaze was overly direct, without any cover.

Ah Chen spoke frankly, "Your Soul Body has a missing part, just at the position on the forehead."

At this, surprise flashed in Hua Wen’s eyes, looking as if wondering how she knew, also a bit puzzled, could it be the body’s deficiency causing his stay in the human world?

Ah Chen shook her head, it shouldn’t be that; it’s that the missing thing is somewhat special.

"The thing that’s missing is very special to you," she said.

Hua Wen was even more surprised; it was indeed very special.

He said, "This thing I’ve had since birth, it made me weak and sick, and attracted negative things; growing up was really hard. Since it was gone, I’ve had a few years of peaceful days. Maybe I’m just short-lived; even without attracting negative things, my health was still poor, by twenty-five my body declined with no hope of salvage."

Luckily, his family was long prepared and could accept the result.

Really?

Ah Chen fell into thought; she hadn’t really delved into the Mystical Skills of this world.

However, from what she could see, the missing thing was very important to Hua Wen, it shouldn’t be anything bad.

"That thing shouldn’t just be harmful to you, specifically what it is, I might need some information as a reference. If you want to know, once I finish what I am doing, I’ll help you find out where the problem lies." Ah Chen added, "If it wasn’t missing, you’d be stronger now, what kind of changes would appear, I don’t know, but it would definitely be a good thing."

Hua Wen was astonished, yet he believed it.

His Soul Body is special, not fearing the blazing sun, isn’t that the best evidence? The world he belongs to is full of wonders, the fact that he’s a bit special seems normal?

Thinking like this, his face suddenly darkened, if that thing wasn’t just harmful to him, did the Mystic Master who helped him back then really not know, or did he have other objectives?

His parents sought many masters, and many couldn’t figure it out, treating symptoms but not the cause. Later they met Master Fu, who said he could completely resolve his problem with attracting negative things. Solving these made his parents very happy, as for being weak and sick, their family was quite wealthy, yet they still had no solutions, couldn’t trouble the master.

And now, it seemed that some established beliefs were to be broken.

Hua Wen still hoped that master was ignorant, otherwise he would definitely need to find out clearly and seek justice for himself.

"Thank you."

"I don’t know how I should thank you?" Hua Wen asked.

He felt that she had no malicious intent.

A person of such caliber probably didn’t need money, but still...

However, being a ghost for many years, following his family everywhere, he did pick up some extremely valuable things, which he hid elsewhere. Originally thinking, when he was about to leave, he would give them to his family.

"For now, there’s nothing I need your help with, I’ll let you know if I think of something. As for your issue, I don’t yet know how it can be resolved," Ah Chen said, "Next, I’m going to Wen’s Castle."

Hua Wen immediately understood, "You’ve been invited to Wen’s Castle for the Mystical Skill live broadcast?"

"Mm."

"Can I come with you?" Hua Wen wanted to have a look too, "Rest assured, no mystic master can currently find me."

As long as he deliberately hides, not even Master Fu back then could detect him.

"Sure, but at that time, you’ll need to be here." Ah Chen touched the Jade Token around her neck, "Just in case."

The Soul Destruction Array inside Wen’s Castle, she wasn’t sure if Hua Wen could withstand it. The ancestral Jade Token around her neck, she had reforged it before, Hua Wen would be safe inside it.
