Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Heavenly Master 75

It’s true that the Ding Yue family is exceptionally kind-hearted. Such people may feel stifled when they do things, but being friends with them is definitely comfortable because they are willing to take care of you, are good at understanding you, and won’t stab you in the back!

After talking about Ma Lele’s situation, the girls in the room sighed a bit. Ding Yue asked Situ Shuangshuang with some confusion, ”Shuangshuang, why did Ma Lele end up looking so old and ugly?”

Situ Shuangshuang casually explained, ”It’s quite normal. When a fierce ghost clings to someone, their body inevitably gets invaded by Yin Qi. Yin Qi does not belong to the living, and having it in the body naturally drains life force. Moreover, since Ma Lele spent so much time with the fierce ghost, and that fierce ghost did not have any fondness for Ma Lele, it must have absorbed Ma Lele’s vitality.”

Situ Shuangshuang took a sip of tea and continued coolly, ”Vitality is important for maintaining a person’s health and youth. When vitality is drained, a person’s physical state will naturally age, which is unavoidable. If Ma Lele had sought shelter early on in a temple, Daoist Temple, or convent and then found a master to subdue the fierce ghost, much of her vitality wouldn’t have been drained.”

Hiding in another room, Chen Qi, who was sneakily watching through the Water Mirror Technique, saw Situ Shuangshuang, Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi chatting over tea. He had a satisfied expression on his face, glad that his precious disciple finally had friends to talk to. It wasn’t easy!

Unaware she had been categorized as having gained friends, Situ Shuangshuang didn’t know her master’s thoughts. However, she couldn’t deny that she preferred Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi—girls who were gentle and considerate in their simplicity—to someone like Han Qiao Yu, who was as bright as a little sun shining on everyone.

This was also why Situ Shuangshuang didn’t overly reject the three girls. As for whether they could become friends, Situ Shuangshuang hadn’t thought about it.

Although she didn’t want friends, if she did develop genuine friendships, Situ Shuangshuang wouldn’t forcibly reject them. In her view, friends and love are not things you can force.

When two or more people interact, those who can become friends naturally will, and those who cannot will go their separate ways when the time is right.

After casually chatting with Ding Yue and the others for a day, Situ Shuangshuang rarely felt so at ease without being provoked to anger.

Two days later, Gong Lanfang finished her work and brought her daughter Jiajia to invite Situ Shuangshuang to their home.

After half a year without seeing each other, Jiajia had grown much taller, her little face round and rosy—a truly adorable sight.

Jiajia still remembered her big sister Situ Shuangshuang. Due to her young age, Jiajia didn’t realize that her Life Soul had temporarily left her body before.

In young Jiajia’s heart, she always considered that experience to be real. In her memory, Situ Shuangshuang was the kind sister who pleaded with her mom on her behalf, so her mom wouldn’t be angry with her. Hence, Jiajia was especially enthusiastic upon seeing Situ Shuangshuang.

Gong Lanfang’s home was in the city. Her parents, her brother, his wife, and herself—all three generations of her family were involved in education, truly an aristocratic family.

When Situ Shuangshuang and Gong Lanfang arrived, it happened to coincide with Gong Lanfang’s parents going out for a trip, leaving just Gong Lanfang’s brother, Gong Shixuan, and his wife, Qi Huiyin, at home. As for that notoriously infatuated Gong Zichen, he had already gone out to meet up with his ordinary true love.

Since Gong Lanfang had told her family in advance that she was going to tutor Situ Shuangshuang, she concocted a story for her decision to bring Situ Shuangshuang home for tutoring, lest it seemed abrupt!

Having confirmed with Situ Shuangshuang that she knew Martial Arts, Gong Lanfang told her family that once, when she was tutoring students at school until late, she was mugged on her way home. Situ Shuangshuang happened to pass by and chased off the bad guys, essentially a heroine saving the beauty!

To repay Situ Shuangshuang, Gong Lanfang decided to use the holiday to tutor her and help improve her grades!

Because of the story Gong Lanfang made up, Situ Shuangshuang received a warm welcome from Gong Lanfang’s brother and sister-in-law upon her arrival!

Gong Lanfang’s brother was thirteen years her senior. The siblings had a good relationship since childhood, and her brother doted on her as if she were his daughter.

Gong Lanfang’s sister-in-law, Qi Huiyin, was his childhood sweetheart. Since childhood, Gong Lanfang liked to follow Qi Huiyin around as a little sidekick. Qi Huiyin also liked Gong Lanfang, whom she had watched grow up.

So after Qi Huiyin and Gong Shixuan got married, there was no so-called conflict between a domineering sister-in-law and a sister-in-law. The two had an excellent sister-like relationship.

For the sake of Gong Lanfang, Qi Huiyin and Gong Shixuan were exceedingly enthusiastic towards Situ Shuangshuang. Before she even arrived, they had prepared all sorts of snacks and fruit that girls love, and the room was thoroughly cleaned. It was specially decorated in a fantasy, princess style! Even the room’s furnishings were newly purchased!

Seated in this room, Situ Shuangshuang felt uncomfortable all over; it was just too pink! Perhaps because she had dealt with ghosts from a young age and did things only tough men do, Situ Shuangshuang didn’t care for all this pink, girlish style!

Situ Shuangshuang’s aesthetic leaned more towards simplicity and elegance, akin to a man’s taste. A room filled with books would please her more than a bunch of dolls, crystal curtains, and lace beds.

During dinner, Situ Shuangshuang finally saw Gong Lanfang’s hapless nephew Gong Zichen, who had suddenly forsaken his beautiful, filial, and virtuous fiancée for a plain, mediocre woman he fell in love with!

Taking the opportunity to greet Gong Zichen, Situ Shuangshuang boldly assessed him. His complexion was rosy, showing no signs of Yin Qi or resentful energy. When she secretly activated her Dharma Eye to check, his spirit had no issues—not possessed or taken over!

In truth, like doctors, Heavenly Masters must observe and question to determine if there is a problem. With just one glance, Situ Shuangshuang could not see any issues with Gong Zichen.

Situ Shuangshuang quietly ate her meal, aware that there was still plenty of time, so she wasn’t in a rush. However, Gong Lanfang seemed anxious, frequently lost in thought during dinner, often glancing at Situ Shuangshuang. Clearly, she was eager to know if something was wrong with Gong Zichen.

Finally, after dinner, Gong Lanfang urgently wanted to take Situ Shuangshuang back to the room to ask if Gong Zichen had indeed encountered something evil, causing his change in character.
