CH 24

Yan Hui remembered when she had just entered Chen Xing Mountain. Her relationship with Senior Disciple Zi Yue hadn't soured yet. Zi Yue had a conceited personality, but her innate character wasn't bad.

When disciples entered Chen Xing Mountian, their diets were more strictly controlled than before they joined. Yan Hui was famished every day. At that time, as the Senior Disciple and as Yan Hui's roommate, Zi Yue would secretly hide food for Yan Hui to eat. Although Zi Yue's demeanor was a bit arrogant when she gave Yan Hui food, her character was good. Yan Hui was also grateful toward Zi Yue.

However, not long after Yan Hui had entered the mountain, she got entangled with an imp. The impish ghost had been alone for a long time,but now it would frequently drag away Yan Hui to play. It harassed Yan Hui without any consideration to the setting or time. Yan Hui was extremely annoyed by it, but she didn't know how to drive it away. To passerbys, Yan Hui would clearly be walking by herself when she would suddenly start gesturing and shouting to someone who was not there. Her extremely strange contact made everyone unwilling to associate with her.

But Zi Yue would still give Yan Hui food every night. One time, Zi Yue brought over a heap of good things to eat. Yan Hui was staring at it in anticipation when the imp suddenly showed up. It made a huge fuss for Yan Hui to play with it. Yan Hui strived hard to ignore it, but the imp suddenly became furious. It laid down on the platter in Zi Yue's hand and made a gesture at Zi Yue's throat.

It had a dark aura, a murderous chill. Its expression showed its intent to kill Zi Yue.

That was Yan Hui's last straw. A slap of her hand knocked away the food tray. Using the magic she just learned, Yan Hui caught the imp.

But with Zi Yue's arrogant personality, it rubbed her the wrong way to see someone treating her good intentions like that. In a flash of temper, Zi Yue grabbed Yan Hui. Yan Hui's grip loosened, and the imp scampered away. Yan Hui was anxious to catch it and accidentally knocked over Zi Yue in her haste. Zi Yue was injured by her fall and started crying, but Yan Hui didn't have the time to look after Zi Yue. She ran after the imp.

In the end, Yan Hui dealt with the imp yet also earned Zi Yue's hate.

After the incident, Ling Xiao asked Yan Hui why she treated Zi Yue like so. Yan Hui stalled for a long time. It wasn't until Ling Xiao's expression became stern that Yan Hui hurriedly told him she could see ghosts.

Even as a child, Yan Hui knew the ability was frowned upon. Some people would even think she was type of demon herself. Yan Hui was scared Ling Xiao would drive her away, but in the end, Ling Xiao didn't do so.

He flipped through many books and practiced many spells before finally accomplishing a spell to give to Yan Hui. He pressed it into Yan Hui's body, which finally reduced many of her difficulties.......

If it wasn't for Ling Xiao, then her life up until now would've been miserable......

But it turns out what gave her so many difficulties was because there was a heart protection scale inside her heat.
