A ghost returned, and now the situation had become complicated. Yang Xiao even suspected that Lu Youcheng had fallen prey to a ghost and died outside the courtyard door.
"What about the task that comes next?" Tong Han suddenly asked.
Yang Xiao understood what Tong Han was worried about. If the ghost kept guarding the door, how could they open it? And if the door remained closed, how could Sui Chengguo complete the task?
They had no time to worry about whether Lu Youcheng was alive or dead now; the most important thing was to deceive the ghost and make it leave.
...
Walking through the fog, the damp stone road was deserted. Lu Youcheng remembered that Yang Xiao and the others had mentioned there should be Ghost Villagers in the mist, but having walked for so long, he hadn't seen a single person. The vast village was as silent as death.
