Chapter 431: Hiding

Yunbao did not expect there to be so much grievance. The grievances of ghosts were usually contained in the body. The grievances that sorcerers sensed were a small portion of their energy leakage, so they used grievances to determine the strength of ghosts.
However, there was something wrong with Yaya saying that there was resentment everywhere in the house. It could not be that this ghost was so powerful that it could cover the entire house. The ghost that could do this would have eaten Xie Jing long ago. Why wait until now?
Moreover, in Xiao Ya’s memory, that ghost was not very powerful. It relied on her innate spirit body to grow step by step.
If someone had discovered this ghost immediately, they would definitely have killed him. Unfortunately, no sorcerer had ever come.
Yunbao frowned and started to think hard. Nothing like this had ever happened in her experience. Just as she couldn’t think of anything, Xiao Ya’s voice sounded in her ear. “Child, hand your body to me for the time being.”
Yunbao had complete trust in Brother Xie Jing’s mother and immediately handed over the control of her body.
Xiao Ya smiled and said, “This ghost wanted to monopolize Xie Jing, so he left behind this dense resentment. He wanted to use it to deter other ghosts from coming in, but by doing so, he also dispersed his energy.”
Xiao Ya had always been staying in the Xie family’s mansion. She knew very well what this ghost had done.
When Xie Huan heard this, she lowered her head and said, “Then what should we do now?”
“Continue with this array formation and let that ghost walk into the trap,” Xiao Ya said as she pointed at the basement door.
After saying that, she followed Yunbao’s instructions and wrote. Xiao Ya could continue to complete more than half of the array formation. When she was doing this, she subconsciously lifted the hair behind her ear.
This action was nothing in itself, but Yunbao would only toss her hair behind her back. Xiao Ya’s posture was very elegant, and the more Xie Huan looked at her, the more she felt that something was wrong.
However, the most important thing now was to deal with that ghost. Xie Huan tried his best to ignore the abnormality and asked, “Do you need my help?”
“Auntie, you can go and find some red strings now. They have to be especially long.” Xiao Ya imitated Yunbao’s way of speaking.
Xie Huan hurriedly went to look for red strings. Only then did Xiao Ya heave a sigh of relief and say, “Your Auntie is especially smart. I’m really afraid that she will recognize me.”
Xie Jing held her hand and said, “Mom, can you really not accompany us
anymore?”
Xiao Ya raised her hand and touched Xie Jing’s head. “Mom is already dead. My ashes are buried in the Xie family’s ancestral grave. It’s impossible for me to come back to life.
“Then can’t we just stay at home like this?” Xie Jing really couldn’t bear to part with his mother.
Xiao Ya’s eyes were filled with tears. “I also want to stay and watch you grow up, but my energy is not enough to support that time unless I go out and devour other souls. But what’s the difference between that and killing someone?”
She tiptoed and hugged Xiao Jing with Yunbao’s body. This was the baby she had given birth to after nine months of pregnancy, but she could only leave him.
Just as the two of them were silently crying, a voice sounded. “What are you doing!”
It was Xiao Jing who walked over in exasperation and pulled Yunbao away. “No matter how good your relationship is, you can’t hug her.”
After saying that, he looked up at Xie Jing, his eyes filled with scrutiny. “Xie
Jing, even if Yunbao is still young, you can’t hug her casually.”
Xie Jing’s face turned red and he did not know how to explain. He could not tell
Xiao Jing that his mother was hugging him, right? While he was hesitating, Xiao Jing’s expression became worse and worse. He kept feeling that all the boys had ulterior motives towards Yunbao. Gu Lin said that he was delusional. Yunbao was still so young and would only be treated as a sister.
However, an old father with a daughter would always worry about such things. From the moment the child was born, they hated the son-in-law they had yet to meet.
Xiao Ya could only explain, “Daddy, Brother Xie Jing thought of his mom and was crying just now, so I hugged him.”
Hearing this answer, Xiao Jing’s expression softened a lot. He was also very pitiful for this child who had lost his mother, so he reached out to touch his head and said, “Uncle has wronged you. The next time you miss your Mom, come to my house, you won’t be sad with Yunbao around.”
Xie Jing could not control his tears. Not only did he miss his mother, but he also missed his father. Ever since his mother passed away, his father had been at work and had not played with him for a long time.
Xiao Jing’s actions just now reminded him of his father. Before his mother passed away, his father always liked to pat his head. The family always went out to travel and camp, not like now..
