The fish, seemingly startled by his sudden approach, scattered in all directions, stirring up the water into a chaotic ripple.

Zhuang Kangyu felt a little salty hearing Jiang Yiqing praise Xu Kaida's koi. He walked over for a closer look. The koi in the pond were all chubby and not afraid of people—they even swam up, begging for fish food, looking adorably goofy.

He didn't want to admit it, but this koi pond really was well-kept.

Xu Kaida, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention to the koi at all. He was anxious. This Master Jiang looked pretty young, and the moment he saw him, Xu Kaida had already started doubting him a little. He thought, He's this young—can he even be trusted?

But now that the guy was here, he couldn't exactly say that to his face. He just had to swallow the doubt. But after looking around for a while, not only did this so-called "Master Jiang" not spot anything, he even started talking about the koi.

What was so great about a bunch of fat fish?

Xu Kaida couldn't help but clear his throat and sneak in a reminder, "Master Jiang, the water ghost... it's not hiding in this pond, right?"

Of course he knew it wasn't in the pond—he just wanted to nudge Jiang Yiqing: don't forget why you're here, you're supposed to catch a ghost!

If that thing wasn't caught, Xu Kaida wouldn't dare spend another night in this house.

Honestly, if Jiang Yiqing hadn't shown up today, Xu Kaida would've already moved somewhere else.

There was no way Jiang Yiqing missed the hint. He glanced at the water, which had been stirred up into chaos again, and smiled. "Mr. Xu, there's no water ghost in your home."

"No water ghost? That's impossible!" Xu Kaida didn't believe him and immediately started backing up his claim. "Look, every night there's water stains all over my room outta nowhere. And both me and my wife got smacked in the face—our cheeks were all swollen and sticky. If that's not a water ghost, then what is?!"

Jiang Yiqing rubbed his forehead. He couldn't let Xu Kaida keep running his mouth like this. He coughed lightly. "Let's go talk somewhere else."

At first, Xu Kaida had only been a little skeptical, but now he seriously thought Jiang Yiqing might be all talk. See? Trying to change the subject.

He was about to say something when Mrs. Xu pinched him in the waist, and the words got stuck in his throat.

He glared at her: What the hell was that for?!

Mrs. Xu shot him a look and whispered, "What, you think you know more than Master Jiang? If you're so smart, why don't you go catch the ghost yourself?"

Xu Kaida: "..."

He had no choice but to shut up. Fine, whatever. He'd just wait and see. If this didn't get resolved, he'd find someone else. And if no one could handle it... worst case, he'd just move out!

If he couldn't beat it, he'd just dodge it!

"There's no dark energy on this property—I'm sure of it," Jiang Yiqing said after sipping some tea. "But there is a faint trace of spiritual energy. It's not a ghost. It's a spiritual being."

Zhuang Kangyu listened and slowly pieced it together. "Master Jiang, are you saying they've actually got something good here?"

Jiang Yiqing nodded. Zhuang Kangyu knew what the guy was capable of, so he didn't doubt him. He immediately looked over at Xu Kaida with jealousy written all over his face and muttered, "Why do all the good things happen to you?"

The moment Xu Kaida laid eyes on his arch-nemesis, his IQ dropped. He was convinced these two were just ganging up on him, "Something good? You want it? You can have it!"

Zhuang Kangyu's eyes lit up and he sneakily baited him, "I'll take it. You sure you're giving it to me?"

Xu Kaida didn't hesitate, "Sure—wait, no! Why the hell would I give it to you?!"

Luckily, he snapped out of it in time. It wasn't that he actually believed it was something good—he just saw how eager Zhuang Kangyu was. So whatever it was, he wasn't giving it up.

Zhuang Kangyu clicked his tongue in disappointment when his plan failed.

Xu Kaida realized he'd just been tricked, and he didn't even know who he could complain to.

"That thing's definitely coming back tonight. Whether it's good or bad, we'll find out soon enough," Jiang Yiqing said calmly. He could tell Xu Kaida didn't really trust him, but he wasn't bothered.

Xu Kaida touched his cheek, and Zhuang Kangyu immediately jumped in to tease, "President Xu, don't tell me you're scared now?"

Xu Kaida snapped, "Screw off! When have I ever chickened out?!"

He just didn't want Jiang Yiqing to screw up and leave him getting beat up again for nothing.

Hmph, if that really was the case, then he definitely wasn't letting them off the hook!

And by "them," he definitely meant Zhuang Kangyu too.

Since they'd decided to wait and see what would happen at night, no matter what, Xu Kaida still had to arrange rooms for Jiang Yiqing and Zhuang Kangyu.

Even though he really didn't want Zhuang Kangyu staying in his house, it was a matter of etiquette—nothing he could do about it.

Hmph, when this is over, he was definitely disinfecting the room Zhuang Kangyu stayed in.

Zhuang Kangyu didn't know what he was thinking and happily settled into the room arranged for him—this kind of opportunity didn't come often, after all.

Jiang Yiqing wasn't as carefree as Zhuang Kangyu. He had some things to explain. "Later, I'll be keeping watch in the room next door, but I can't be too close. Otherwise, it'll sense me. You guys will need to find a way to stall it a bit."

Xu Kaida thought, If it's really a water ghost, how the hell are we supposed to stall it? Oh right—he was kinda fat, maybe the ghost would take longer to eat him.

Jiang Yiqing handed a few talisman papers to Xu Kaida and his wife and told them to take them out if anything felt off.

"But, based on what you've said before, it'll probably hypnotize people before showing up," Jiang Yiqing added. Otherwise, there's no way both their faces got slapped swollen and they still didn't wake up. "People with weak willpower will have a hard time snapping out of it. I'll set up a small formation—once it shows up, the array will be triggered."

If Jiang Yiqing was stepping in personally, there was no way he was letting it escape.

As soon as Xu Kaida heard that, he puffed up with confidence. "I've had a strong will since I was a kid."

Then he turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you!"

Mrs. Xu didn't respond, just calmly folded up the talismans and put them away.

Seeing that, Xu Kaida got annoyed and leaned in, whispering, "What, you don't believe in me?"
