When the members of the Su family looked at Gu Ning, it was like looking at their younger sister, Su Jiayu, when she was young. But younger sister was carefree and would pout at her brothers in anger, but the girl in front of them had to be careful even when calling âGrandpa,â afraid that she had done something wrong and made people dislike her. Their Ningning was only three years old, but she knew how to read peopleâs faces and be careful in order to survive.
The members of the Su familyâs hearts ached even more. They watched Gu Ning finish eating and go back to sleep before carefully tiptoeing outside. Gu Ning lied for a while before a familiar voice appeared next to her ear. âNingning, Ningningâ¦â Gu Ning opened her eyes and looked around, but didnât find anybody. She thought she was dreaming, which was why she heard the voice, but just as she closed her eyes, the voice sounded again: âNingning, Ningningâ¦â
Gu Ning grabbed the bed sheet tightly and looked around nervously. The ward was empty. There wasnât even the shadow of a ghost, let alone a person. So who was speakingâ¦
Gu Ning mustered up her courage and asked softly: âWhoâs talking? Who are you?â She was scared.
The voice said patiently, âNingning, Iâm your master.â
Although Ningning was young, she was not fooled easily. Her small face scrunched up: âI donât have a master.â
That voice seem to have been speechless, not speaking for a long time. At this time, a young man in a white robe was sitting on the table next to the ward, but strangely, Gu Ning couldnât see him. The young manâs face was very pale, and his eyes were dark and deep. He had a high nose bridge, but his red lips gave him a devilish appearance. His eyes were staring at Gu Ning laying on the bed. He tsked. This child was not easy to trick.
âNingningâ¦â The young man tried to open his mouth again, but just when he spoke, he was interrupted by Gu Ning: âDonât call me Ningning. I donât know you.â
The young man: ââ¦â He paused for a moment and said, âIâm really your master. Your mother entrusted you to me when she was alive and asked you to be my disciple.â
When Gu Ning heard this, she rejected it: âNonsense, my Mommy wouldnât do that.â Her Mommy would not give her to someone else, Mommy would never abandon her.
The young man was struck speechless again again. He wasnât lying. When Su Jiayu saw him during her last living moments, she asked him to protect her young daughter and the members of the Su family. At that time, Gu Ning was only two years old, and ordinary people couldnât see his soul, but he did accept her kowtow and became her master! However, for some reason, he hadnât been able to communicate with her until she was on the verge of death this time. He finally could communicate with her, but he didnât expect that his little disciple wouldnât acknowledge him!
The young man touched his nose and said, âNingning, your motherâs name is Su Jiayu, and your name is Gu Ning. See, I know everything.â
Gu Ning: âOther people know that too.â
The young man didnât know what to say. Were children now so difficult to trick? With Gu Ningâs smarts, if it werenât for the fact that she was too young, she would not be bullied by the Gu family to this point.
The young man curled his lips. âIf others know, so be it. But the others that know this canât save you. You can say that you donât have me as your master, but you canât forget the favor of saving your life right? Donât forget who told you your Little Uncleâs phone number. Itâs such a big thing to save your life. I donât expect you to repay me too much. Just wait until you recover and offer me three incense sticks and sacrifice a pig. By the way, my name is Ji Wuchang. I was a big shot when I was alive. You canât even imagine how much of a big shot I was.â
When he was alive? So was he already dead? Gu Ning pursed her lips and looked at the source of the sound, but couldnât see anything.
Ji Wuchang continued, âYou shouldnât have heard of the name Ji Wuchang. Itâs normal that you havenât heard of it. Iâm not from this era. Iâm very powerful. I can teach you many things so that you wonât be bullied. If you want me to teach you, itâs very simple. Just call me Master.â
At this moment, Gu Ning suddenly asked, âDo big shot figures die too?â She was sure that this person who was talking to her was a ghost. Normally, ordinary people would be scared when they saw ghosts, but Gu Ning knew that this person had saved her before, so she wasnât too scared. Instead, she had many questions. âIf youâre really as powerful as you say, why did you die?â
