"Mom and Dad? How... how did you find this place?"
Li Xuan vigorously rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dreaming. He reached out and pinched his arm, which hurt so much he winced.
Only then did he realize it was real.
But how was this possible? Didn't that old ghost say that if he couldn't learn, no one would be able to find him?
Earlier, he hadn't believed it, until, despite being in the same classroom, no matter how much he yelled, his classmates seemed to hear nothing.
At that moment, he was forced to believe the old ghost's words.
"You brat, listen to what you're saying! If your old mother hadn't come, I'd be collecting your corpse right now."
"What were you arguing with a ghost for!"
Xu Jing's face instantly darkened upon hearing her son's questioning tone.
Heaven knew her heart almost stopped when she saw that fierce ghost pounce on her son just now. If the Grandmaster hadn't intervened in time, she couldn't even imagine the consequences.
"It's just that I really couldn't study anymore. That old man's brain is truly problematic, constantly forcing me to learn."
Speaking of this, Li Xuan was full of grievances.
He had originally gotten into college as a special talent student; his academic performance was just mediocre, and he didn't have much interest in studying.
After graduation, he planned to return home and inherit the family business, who knew he would encounter this old ghost.
Li Xuan listened to the latter's self-introduction: the old ghost was a former postgraduate professor who loved to predict exam questions. Because his predictions often hit the mark for several major questions each year, he had millions of fans online.
He was even jokingly called the "only one" for graduate mathematics exams, as for other candidates, they merely copied and memorized questions.
But this year, while predicting questions, he suddenly suffered from a cardiovascular disease and died suddenly before he could take his medicine.
However, the latter also didn't know why he hadn't gone to reincarnate. Instead, he remained in this seemingly otherworldly space.
Li Xuan sighed. He was unlucky too. He had just come back to grab his headphones, and who knew he'd accidentally stumble into this ghostly place.
And truthfully, the other party didn't seem to want to harm him. The only thing that drove him crazy was doing problems, one after another.
"Grandmaster, do you know what's going on?"
Xu Jing's face was extremely strange after hearing her son's explanation. After all, this seemed completely different from the malicious ghosts she was familiar with.
Normally, she wouldn't have anywhere to ask, so the matter would simply be left unresolved. But now that the Grandmaster was here, of course, she had to ask for clarification.
"Auntie, it's very simple. He's a bound spirit now. If he wants to leave to reincarnate, he needs to fulfill his wish."
"His wish is also very simple: he wants to help the brothers and sisters who are taking exams get his predicted questions and help them get into higher education."
Yaoyao glanced at the "evil ghost" in her hand, then looked up and said clearly.
She could see that the other party's soul body was very clean, which meant he hadn't harmed anyone.
On the contrary, his soul body was even emitting a faint golden light of merit, indicating that he was a great benevolent person during his lifetime.
Yaoyao understood after her calculations that these merits should come from the students he helped. Because of the ghost's assistance, they successfully advanced in their studies and changed their original destinies.
Logically speaking, a soul body that hadn't harmed anyone and was protected by merit shouldn't become a bound spirit.
The main reason was his bad luck; the day he died suddenly was a "Three Breaks Day," and the school itself was originally a cemetery, so the yin energy was extremely strong.
With the right time and place aligning, his unwillingness was infinitely magnified, forming a ghost domain in his original classroom.
"Old grandpa, you have no killing karma on you. I won't kill you, don't worry!"
After Yaoyao finished explaining, her small hand loosened, letting go.
Then, the old man's figure flickered, reappearing in the corner at the very back of the classroom. His back was pressed tightly against the wall, and the entire ghost was like a startled bird.
Clearly, being captured like that had truly startled him. He was still wary.
Yaoyao showed no expression at the sight. She continued to speak unhurriedly, "Old grandpa, I will help you resolve your obsession, but I need to take this Big Brother away today!"
"Because he really doesn't need your current help. I'll bring the people who do need it over in a week."
Since the other party had merit on him, Yaoyao naturally had to help him. She couldn't let him be tormented by staying here forever.
However, she couldn't do it immediately. As for how to do it, she would have to go back and discuss it with her seventh brother.
"You... you can really help me?"
The ghost, cowering in the corner, couldn't help but speak, a hint of yearning emerging from his murky old eyes.
He knew for sure that he had no ability to resist. The moment he was captured, he could vaguely feel the power within this little child's body, which was absolutely not something he could contend with.
But he couldn't remain silent, because he needed someone to help him find release.
"Old grandpa, don't worry. What Yaoyao says, even many horses can't catch up to it."
She patted her small chest, speaking very earnestly.
This slightly muddled use of an idiom made Li Xuan, who was standing by, want to laugh but dared not.
Because his own mother was very respectful towards this little child, if he laughed, he would definitely get scolded. He wisely kept his mouth shut.
"Then I will wait here for you to return, little child."
The old man's soul body slowly nodded. He said nothing more, letting the intruders leave.
Yaoyao led the group downstairs.
The night wind blew on his face. Li Xuan looked up at the star-filled sky again, understanding that he was finally free.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, ecstatic at no longer having to memorize questions.
At this moment, Xu Jing, who was standing beside him, pushed him and said in a deep voice, "You rascal, have you forgotten all your manners? Learned them from a dog?"
"You got your life back, and you don't know how to thank the Grandmaster? Running this trip in the middle of the night, you have no idea how difficult it was!"
Li Xuan, startled by the push, quickly came back to his senses. He gave a long, deep bow to Yaoyao.
"Oh, thank you, Grandmaster, for saving my life. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word. If I, Li Xuan, even blink, I'm not worthy of being a human."
As if feeling his assurance wasn't strong enough, he vigorously patted his chest, his solemn pledge making Xu Jing quite satisfied.
"Okay, then I'll come find Big Brother next week."
Yaoyao's dark, bright eyes lit up when she heard him speak, as she really would need his help later.
She would gather some brothers and sisters who needed to attend the lectures. They wouldn't be familiar with the school, so Big Brother would be needed to lead the way.
Plus, he had the ghost domain's mark on him. She wouldn't even need to cast a spell on him; as long as he held a talisman, he could freely enter and exit the ghost domain, making him undoubtedly the best tour guide candidate!
Thus, Yaoyao's gaze towards him immediately became sparkling.
Li Xuan felt a shiver down his spine under her gaze; he had a bad premonition.
