The cheerful academic atmosphere persisted into the afternoon until an unexpected visitor arrived on the Eco-Ship and brought a reason that made Fu Ling both laugh and cry.
There were ghost sightings on the Saintfield.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that the head of the Saintfield family, in his sixth generation, would be too scared to stay on his own ship because of ghost sightings and choose to take refuge on the Eco-Ship.
The spirit of the Saintfield VI was greatly diminished, and he didn't communicate much with Fu Ling himself, leaving all communications to be handled by the butler.
Fu Ling had originally arranged a private room for him, but Saintfield VI insisted on staying in the same area as the visiting scholars, which was quite astonishing. The Shan Clan People always considered themselves superior to others, and for someone of Saintfield VI's status, being arranged to stay in the "commoners'" living area was tantamount to humiliation.
