“If there is anything you lack, or anything you wish to say, please speak now. The man next to me is my partner; he can pass on your messages to me, so you don’t need to spend any more money on dream visits. Use the money to buy yourself some good food and things. If you’re doing well down there, this student will be at peace.”
After saying that, Yi Qingqing winked at Yun Guyuan, who was standing next to her.
Well, did the masters say anything?
Yun Guyuan looked at the four ghostly figures floating above the brazier: an old man with white hair and beard, a thin man wearing glasses, and a couple who had come hand in hand.
“Your partner? Hiss—”
Today, as soon as the gates of hell opened and the pull of the worship came, Old Mr. Yi came to see his precious little apprentice. When he heard what was said earlier, the old man was stroking his beard with a feeling of comfort. But when he heard who it was, his grip tightened, pulling out several hairs from his beard.
“Is this young man Qingqing’s partner? He looks somewhat familiar.”
Wang Wenyang put his hands behind his back, his face almost touching Yun Guyuan’s, and looked him over from left to right.
Zheng Shaoyin found the young man to be quite handsome and felt a liking for him.
Lin Yibai was skilled at drawing and had a good memory for people. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Isn’t this the underworld official who comes to maintain order every year?”
Upon hearing this, the other three suddenly realized what was going on.
“This is clearly a living person! How can it be a ghost messenger?” Old Mr. Yi said, his beard bristling and eyes wide.
“I am a messenger of the underworld, and also Qingqing’s partner. I have the ability to see ghosts, so I can relay any message you may have to Qingqing.” Yun Guyuan said.
Yi Qingqing couldn’t see the ghosts, but when she saw Ah Yuan suddenly say such a sentence, she immediately understood that her masters had arrived.
She quickly nodded: “Four masters, Ah Yuan is a trustworthy person. Please speak freely!”
“Young man, what’s your name? Who’s in your family? Besides being a messenger in the underworld, what else do you do in the mortal world? When did you get together with Qingqing? How long have you been together…”
The four masters asked a series of questions, and finally threatened him: “Even if you are a messenger in the underworld, we are not afraid of you. If you dare to bully Qingqing, we will go to the underworld to complain about you every day. We won’t stop until we bring you down. We old ghosts know some people down there!”
Yun Guyuan knew that Yi Qingqing respected these masters very much, so he was not angry at their questioning. He just treated it as a rehearsal for meeting the parents.
He answered the four masters’ questions one by one, neither humble nor arrogant: “My name is Yun Guyuan. I live in Jinling. My father died early, and my mother remarried. I have no other relatives. Because I was born with the ability to see ghosts, I became a living ghost messenger. I fell in love with Qingqing three years ago, and we officially got together on New Year’s Eve this year. I am currently studying clinical medicine at Beijing University. In the future, I will become a surgeon in the mortal world. Masters, rest assured, I cherish Qingqing like a treasure and will definitely treat her well.”
Yi Qingqing: “???”
What are the masters talking about?
Why is Ah Yuan suddenly saying these things?
“You two are both in university? Beijing University?”
Lin Yibai realized at this moment that the location of the worship ceremony was not the small courtyard of previous years. The architectural style was indeed that of the capital city.
The capital…
He looked at his wife, feeling a mix of nostalgia and wistfulness.
Seeing Yi Qingqing’s curious expression, Yun Guyuan didn’t answer Master Lin’s question. Instead, he leaned down and whispered in Yi Qingqing’s ear, “The masters are asking if we’re in university.”
