CHAPTER 15: CHAPTER 14: HAUNTED BY A GHOST

Not sure if Mu Yunchu can definitely handle this matter, but this is the only way out for her at the moment.

Su Nian expressed her plea the moment she saw Mu Yunchu.

The latter was slightly stunned for a few seconds before recognizing her.

"You are the bride who was supposed to get married that day."

It was the couple Mu Yunchu met on her first day taking over the folk goods store.

Although it was phrased as a question, it was spoken with certainty.

She had a deep impression of the two.

At that time, she had warned them not to marry and had specially left them an amulet.

Her gaze shifted, and she found Su Nian standing there alone. Seeing her worn-out appearance, Mu Yunchu guessed something must have happened.

Looking up at the slightly brightening sky, Mu Yunchu walked into the store, "Come in first."

The store rarely had customers, so she deliberately took out some tea leaves stored here by her master and made Su Nian a cup.

Hot water was poured into the teacup, turning the clear water a light green, with steam softly rising, mysteriously carrying a healing power.

Compared to her calm and tranquil demeanor, Su Nian could hardly sit calmly for even a second!

"I’m sorry for not believing what you said that day."

"We had a car accident after leaving here."

Once she sat down, Su Nian eagerly recounted the events that happened after they left that day.

"It’s really strange, the doctors clearly said there was nothing wrong with his metrics, yet he still hasn’t woken up."

Although she didn’t want to think in the direction of the mystical, the facts were right before her.

Why did she, holding Mu Yunchu’s peace charm, have nothing happen to her?

This surely couldn’t be a coincidence.

"What you told me that day..." Su Nian didn’t finish, perhaps thinking it was ominous, but she knew Mu Yunchu understood what she meant.

She looked at her with an exploratory yet expectant gaze, "If you can save me, can you save Yu Ting too?"

Under her hopeful gaze, Mu Yunchu did not immediately respond.

She indeed gave the other party an amulet.

But given the means of ’that one’, merely having an amulet of that level wouldn’t be enough to keep Su Nian unharmed.

Unless...

The other party only wanted Chen Yuting’s life from the start.

Mu Yunchu said something she didn’t quite understand.

"At first, I thought as long as you didn’t get married, she wouldn’t do anything."

"But now, it seems that’s not the case."

Su Nian: "She?"

Mu Yunchu sighed.

"When I first saw you, I noticed your fiancé had ghost energy on him."

And it was very strong, at least enough to have direct contact with ghosts.

Su Nian: !!???

Her eyes widened.

As someone raised in absolute scientific education, who never indulges in superstitions, she found it hard to understand this statement.

"Ghost energy... could it be...?"

"Yes." Mu Yunchu nodded, giving her a definite answer, "He is haunted by a ghost."

...

Mu Yunchu agreed to accompany her to take a look.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Mrs. Chen was discussing transferring Chen Yuting to another hospital.

Having just sent the doctor away, Mu Yunchu arrived on her heels.

Her tone was firm, "Transferring will be of no use."

"The hospital can’t treat his problem."

Mrs. Chen was startled by the sudden appearance of this person, just about to scold her, but upon seeing Su Nian behind the stranger, she quickly approached.

She could tell this person was brought by Su Nian, so she didn’t issue an eviction order.

Using a voice only they could hear, she asked secretly, "Nian Nian, this girl... could she be the method you mentioned to save Yu Ting?"

Su Nian had mentioned a rough idea to her before going to find Mu Yunchu.

To be honest, she wasn’t very convinced by such things.

But she thought it was better to try than do nothing.

Seeing Su Nian gave her a confirming response, she scrutinized the pretty girl before them with some doubt, expressing her concern, "But... isn’t she a bit too young?"

Can someone so young really have genuine skills?

"Shouldn’t she have a white beard or something normally?"

Though not knowledgeable, she had seen quite a bit on TV.

Su Nian: "..."

Honestly, Su Nian didn’t know how to answer that. Because she wasn’t truly aware of Mu Yunchu’s capabilities either.

As they spoke, Mu Yunchu looked around the room.

Very clean.

No excess negative energy.

Which meant, that female ghost wasn’t here right now.

And she hadn’t been here recently, either.

But instead of feeling relieved, she furrowed her brow even more tightly.

Lowering her eyes to look at the man who was lively just days ago, now pale and comatose.

After contemplating for a moment, she took out a talisman paper filled with red runes from her pocket, murmured a spell under her breath, and then attached it to Chen Yuting’s body.

Su Nian and Mrs. Chen were startled by her sudden action and instinctively reached out to stop her.

Yet, about two seconds later, the man who had his eyes shut suddenly opened them wide.

Su Nian: !!!

"Yu Ting!"

"Son!"

Two anxious voices almost sounded in unison.

Anticipating it, Mu Yunchu took a step back.

Fortunately, this was a VIP ward, with enough space.

The two figures rushed to Chen Yuting’s side, one after the other.

For someone who had been in a coma for seven days, with even the doctors at the top hospital in Qinghe helpless, waking up suddenly was exhilarating for them.

Mu Yunchu gave them time to calm down.

Chen Yuting’s memory stopped at the car accident, so seeing Mu Yunchu again should have kept him in his original angry mood.

But upon hearing that his two closest people said she had saved him, his emotions became particularly complex.

The ’thank you’ at the tip of his tongue couldn’t be uttered for a long time.

But Mu Yunchu seemed to see right through him.

"It’s still too early to say thank you now."

The three of them looked at each other.

Mu Yunchu remained composed, but her words inevitably sent a chill down their spines.

"I’ve only temporarily woken him up, but he still won’t survive the night."

Everyone: !!!

Having seen Mu Yunchu’s capabilities firsthand, even though what she said was a truth hard to accept, they dare not disbelieve it.

Especially Mrs. Chen and Su Nian.

They had seen Mu Yunchu awaken Chen Yuting in such a short period, while the entire top hospital in Qinghe was powerless.

Upon hearing that he wouldn’t survive the night, their joy and excitement were quickly replaced by worry.

"Young lady, or rather, Master, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Chen asked nervously, clenching her hands and stepping closer to Mu Yunchu.

But Su Nian, as if remembering something, drew in a breath, "Could it be, that female ghost you mentioned?"
