Zeng's father listened to him mention the key high schools in the city and knew he was serious about his studies, so he didn't say anything more.
"This school, I have a friend who also studies here," Zeng Jingjing heard a familiar school name. She had taken Lin Yan back to school before, and it was her school's name.
"How do you have friends who are still studying?" Zeng's mother was very curious.
Zeng Xuanming also subconsciously paid attention to Zeng Jingjing's words.
So Zeng Jingjing told them what had happened to her before.
When Lin Yan's name was mentioned, Zeng Xuanming's gaze flickered, but he quickly concealed it.
Zeng's father and mother were so focused on what Zeng Jingjing was saying that they didn't notice the change in their son's expression.
After hearing Zeng Jingjing finish, Zeng's mother couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, "We really need to thank her properly, after all, she saved your life. By the way, has she contacted you? Has that thing stopped bothering you?"
"Lin Yan has contacted me and said she has already dealt with that ghost, so I don't need to worry. However, I still need to stay in crowded places recently and pay attention to getting more sun. Aren't I doing just that?"
"That's good. I was wondering why you suddenly moved back and stopped playing your game of pretending to be an ordinary person," Zeng's mother glared at her after knowing Zeng Jingjing was safe.
Their family wasn't super rich, so why did she need to pretend to be an ordinary person to live a simple life?
"Your mother is right. Just come back and live here, don't stay outside, it's not safe," Zeng's father was also a little frightened, afraid that something might happen to his daughter without their knowledge, and they couldn't help at all.
Zeng Xuanming confirmed at this moment that the Lin Yan mentioned by his sister was the Lin Yan he knew.
But are there really ghosts in this world? Do such things beyond the scope of science really exist?
And the Lin Yan he knew also had abilities in this regard. This was somewhat beyond his understanding.
"Sis, do ghosts really exist in this world?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Xuan Ming, I saw it with my own eyes, so you must be careful. If anything is wrong around you, you must tell us quickly," Zeng Jingjing said very seriously.
She didn't believe it before, but now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she had no choice but to believe it.
"If this friend of yours is also at this school, then put Xuan Ming in the same class as her so she can look after him," Zeng's mother suddenly thought.
Zeng Xuanming's breathing hitched. He didn't speak but looked cautiously at his father. He knew that his father was the one who made the decision, and as long as his father spoke, it could be done.
"That would be fine, but it might be too much trouble for the girl. She saved Jingjing's life, so we should treat her to a meal another day," Zeng's father considered. With someone like that around his son, he would surely be safer.
This girl named Lin Yan, as described by Jingjing, had strong abilities. Being on good terms with her was all benefits and no harm. Her taking the initiative to save his daughter made him feel even more that he needed to build a good relationship with this girl.
Lin, he just didn't know if she was the Lin he knew.
Hearing his father's words, Zeng Xuanming felt his heart relax. He could be in the same class as Lin Yan, which was great.
When Zeng Jingjing told Lin Yan that her parents wanted to treat her to a meal, Lin Yan was studying a rather complex talisman.
This was a space talisman that could create a space, but not many people had succeeded with this talisman, and it only existed in legends now.
Lin Yan had her own system backpack and had studied spatial abilities in the apocalypse. She felt she understood space better than others, so she wanted to try this talisman.
If she could succeed, her understanding of space would deepen. Then she could try to create Wen Yi Tong's space blade.
When she received Zeng Jingjing's call, her talisman hadn't yielded any results yet. Hearing that Zeng's parents wanted to treat her to a meal, she hesitated but agreed.
After agreeing, she began to prepare a gift for the Zeng family. After all, it was the first meeting, so it was good to prepare something. Not long after, Lin Yan's phone rang again, this time from a landline.
"Master Lin, are you free now?" the voice on the phone was very anxious.
"Has something happened?" Lin Yan immediately sat up straight.
"It's not clear over the phone. Are you at your registered address? We will send someone to pick you up immediately."
"Yes, I am. Do I need to prepare anything?" Lin Yan asked for details, afraid of overlooking something.
"Just prepare your usual items. The situation is very urgent, and you are the only one who can help here."
"Then I'll wait for you to come here."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yan packed all the usable items into a bag and waited in the living room.
"Yan Yan, are you going out?" Aunt Zhou peeked out from the kitchen.
"Yes, the bureau called just now and asked me to help with something. Someone will be here to pick me up soon. Aunt Zhou, you'll have to eat by yourself. I probably won't be back that quickly."
"Then be careful, don't overexert yourself. If you encounter anything you can't handle, call the family head." Aunt Zhou instructed.
"I know."
Lin Yan didn't wait long before someone knocked on the door. After confirming the identity of the visitor, Lin Yan left with them.
On the way, the person who came to pick up Lin Yan explained the current situation to her.
Several backpackers had gone missing in an undeveloped mountain near their city. After their families reported it, the police and firefighters went into the mountain to search but encountered some supernatural phenomena.
Not only did they fail to find the missing people, but more people got lost inside. Therefore, the Special Events Handling Bureau issued a mission for Xuanmen Heavenly Masters to intervene. However, the few who accepted the mission also fell into the trap, and only one person escaped.
According to the person who escaped, there was a ferocious ghost in that mountain that had gained power and was particularly fierce. He was able to escape only by exhausting all his magical artifacts.
The bureau was helpless, so they thought of Lin Yan, who also had a hundred-year-old ghost guarding her and was not weak herself. Thus, they called to ask Lin Yan to help.
To their surprise, Lin Yan agreed so readily.
"Master Lin, this matter is quite dangerous. You can let your ghost servant go in to scout the way. We just want to know the situation inside. You just need to stay on the periphery, and there will be no danger."
Although this Master Lin was easy to talk to, they all knew that she was the eldest daughter of the prestigious Lin family, a Xuanmen family. If anything happened to her, none of them could afford the consequences.
