Wen Xiuyan instinctively turned to Jiang Yiqing, who was still focused on shoveling food into his mouth. He shot his dumb little brother a deadpan look. "Why don't you stuff your mouth with food instead of nonsense?"

Wen Junrong pouted in dissatisfaction and sneakily grumbled to Jiang Yiqing about being wronged.

After dinner, the rest of the family gradually left, and the house finally quieted down.

Jiang Yiqing was, of course, staying the night. His room had been arranged in the main courtyard—where the strange noises were supposedly coming from.

The restless pig spirit was finally released. It had been craving food all night and immediately started nudging Jiang Yiqing with its snout, begging for something to eat.

Jiang Yiqing dodged in disgust. "You're not drooling, are you? Don't wipe your snot on my leg."

Pig spirit: "..." Ugh, humans are the worst!

Luckily, it didn't have to wait long before Wen Xiuyan sent someone over with food. Well... technically, the food was meant for "Master Jiang's assistant."

The servants delivering the food were a little confused—wasn't Master Jiang here alone?

"Oh, my assistant's right here." Jiang Yiqing pointed at the pig spirit, who was stretching its neck and jumping up, desperately trying to reach the food.

The servant: "......Haha. Your assistant is... quite special."

The little pig, acting just like a puppy, even had the audacity to snuggle up to the servant and beg for attention. And honestly? It was kinda cute.

The servant quickly set the food down in front of it and took the chance to pet its head. They had no idea what they would think if they knew this wasn't just an ordinary pig... but a pig spirit.

As night fell, Jiang Yiqing stood by the window, watching the moonlight. Suddenly, he frowned and turned in a specific direction.

He grabbed the pig spirit and walked quickly toward the source. But when he saw who was there, he froze. "Xiuyan? You're still up?"

It was none other than Wen Xiuyan. His expression was unusually gentle. "Yeah. If you're not here, I can't sleep."

Jiang Yiqing rubbed his nose and replied bluntly, "You know, you say stuff that's really easy to misinterpret."

Wen Xiuyan smirked slightly. "Did you sense something?"

Jiang Yiqing's expression turned serious. He nodded. "Yeah, a faint trace of yin energy."

Wen Xiuyan asked, "Where?"

Jiang Yiqing pointed in a direction, and Wen Xiuyan's expression subtly shifted.

Jiang Yiqing noticed his reaction and asked, "What's over there?"

Wen Xiuyan's gaze darkened under the night sky. He stared into the distance and said, "That used to be my grandfather's residence."

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "The way you look right now... kinda makes me think you're about to go over there and beat the crap out of whatever ghost is causing trouble."

Wen Xiuyan paused, then chuckled. "Don't joke, Yiqing. I don't have your skills."

Jiang Yiqing gave him a weird look and shook his head. "Not necessarily."

Wen Xiuyan looked confused, but Jiang Yiqing didn't elaborate. Instead, he said, "I need to check it out. You coming?"

Wen Xiuyan's answer was exactly as expected. "Yeah."

Jiang Yiqing figured that since Wen Xiuyan seemed pretty fearless, he'd probably be fine tagging along.

But before they even reached the place, they ran into Wen Junrong.

The moment Wen Junrong saw his brother with Master Jiang again, he was beyond annoyed. "I knew it! My brother totally snuck out to find Master Jiang again. Good thing I wasn't asleep, or I would've missed this."

No matter what, Wen Junrong was determined to tag along.

Jiang Yiqing's lips curled into a mischievous grin. He raised an eyebrow. "You sure? You might see some pretty scary stuff."

Wen Xiuyan actually felt a rare bit of sympathy for his dumb little brother. "You should stay behind."

But the moment Wen Junrong heard that, he got even more fired up. He shot his brother a suspicious glance, looking like he had it all figured out. "No way! You're definitely just trying to get rid of me so you can sneak off and deepen your bond with Master Jiang."

Wen Xiuyan: "..."

Jiang Yiqing struggled to hold back his laughter and shot Wen Xiuyan a teasing look, while Wen Xiuyan just sighed in exasperation.

Since Wen Junrong insisted, they let him tag along. Jiang Yiqing was confident that he could keep him safe anyway.

The group followed Jiang Yiqing and the pig spirit until they reached the area where the yin energy was strongest.

Jiang Yiqing examined the surroundings. "Looks like it's been hanging around here for a while."

Wen Xiuyan frowned. "This was my grandfather's bedroom."

"Who's disturbing my sleep? Geez, can't even get some peace after dying!"

An old man in a traditional Tang suit came stomping over, leaning on a cane and looking furious.

But the moment he saw Wen Xiuyan, he froze. Then, his expression turned emotional. "My grandson! You actually remembered to come see your grandpa, huh? Tsk, heartless brat, how long has it been?"

He walked in circles around Wen Xiuyan, his beard twitching as he nagged, "Good, good, you look much better these days. But seriously, why do you keep giving yourself so much pressure?"

The old man rambled on, but unfortunately, Wen Xiuyan couldn't hear a single word.

All he saw was Jiang Yiqing staring at him intently ever since they arrived. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he cleared his throat. "Yiqing?"

Jiang Yiqing glanced at the old man, then at the framed photo in the room. "I can see the ghost."

Wen Junrong nearly screamed. "What ghost?! Where?!"

Despite being tall and strong, he was a total coward. He jumped about a foot in the air and immediately ran to Jiang Yiqing, clutching his arm like his life depended on it—practically trying to hide behind him.

Jiang Yiqing: "...Relax, it's not a scary ghost."

But that only made Wen Junrong even more terrified.

Wen Xiuyan twitched slightly at the sight of his dumb little brother clinging so tightly to Jiang Yiqing.

Meanwhile, the old man was absolutely fuming, stomping his cane. "What a disgrace!—No, wait, what a disgrace to ghosts! How can you be this much of a coward? Don't you dare call yourself my grandson!"

"Wait a second." He suddenly seemed to realize something. His gaze locked onto Jiang Yiqing, and seeing that the young man's eyes were following him, he was shocked. "You can see me?"

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "Of course."
