Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

"Hiss... Look, isn't that switch flashing by itself?"

The corridor lights flickered, and although it was daytime, it still sent a chill down my spine.

Jiang Liu frowned slightly as she looked at Su Yining.

Su Yining ignored her and continued pressing the switch.

"Have you heard the rumor that someone actually died in our school's swimming pool before?"

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't tell ghost stories at a time like this."

The atmosphere in the corridor became eerie, and the group lost interest in joining in the fun, gradually dispersing.

After everyone had mostly dispersed, Jiang Liu sighed softly:

"Scaring people in front of the ferryman? That's not a good idea."

"I didn't scare anyone. Classes are still in session. Aren't they disturbing the younger students' learning by crowding around in the hallway?"

Su Yining shrugged and walked past Jiang Liu to the window.

Chen Shi looked up and his eyes met hers.

"Humph."

Su Yining gave a soft snort and left.

"???"

Helpless, Chen Shi pinched Wang Wei's leg.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"Serves you right for being so talkative. Is the hallway haunted?"

Su Yining appeared and disappeared without a trace, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"I'll buy some desserts to appease her then..."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "I'll wait for get out of class to end."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jiang Liu still waiting at the door. Some elderly teachers passed by, and they all greeted her with smiles and nods.

Wang Wei spent the entire class slacking off, chatting with his female senior with his hands under his drawer.

Chen Shi glanced at the note, which read "Senior Sister Wu".

When get out of class ended, Dean Wang stacked up his books, gave them a quick shake, and called out:

"Alright, get out of class dismissed."

After saying that, he walked towards the door and saw Jiang Liu as soon as he stepped out.

"Jiang Liu? What are you doing here?"

Dean Wang touched his bald patch and laughed:

"I was wondering why there were so many people in the hallway just now. They were all here to see you."

"No, Dean Wang is joking."

Jiang Liu raised her chin and looked across the classroom as she said:

"I'm here to see him."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shi saw Dean Wang's astonished gaze fall upon him.

"Hiss...who are you?"

Dean Wang adjusted his glasses before recognizing him:

"You're the student who came to Jiang Liu's class to learn the zither last time? Oh, you were in my class!"

Dean Wang smiled, patted Chen Shi on the shoulder, and said:

"I remember this child had good grades and listened attentively in class."

Deng, you just said you didn't remember me being in your class...

Isn't this praise a bit too business-like?

"Is that so? That's good. I was worried he wouldn't take his studies seriously at school." Jiang Liu smiled knowingly and glanced at Chen Shi.

What's with this guardian acting like they're attending a parent-teacher conference?

Chen Shi interrupted the pointless conversation and said:

"Senior Sister Jiang, what brings you here? Is something urgent?"

His words were loaded with meaning. The fact that Jiang Liu was at the school at this hour and had been waiting at the gate for so long meant that something had probably happened to the ferryman.

"Yes, a little."

Jiang Liu reached out and put her hand on Chen Shi's shoulder, pulling him a little closer to her.

Dean Wang took one look and immediately smiled:

"I still need to prepare my lessons, so I'll head back to my office now. Jiang Liu, remember to let me know in advance next time you come. How could we not know when an outstanding alumnus returns to school?"

After saying that, he left happily.

"Hey, you over there, don't kiss at the classroom door."

Dean Wang's voice faded into the distance.

"You listen attentively in class but keep glancing towards the door?" Jiang Liu smiled.

"There's no way around it, Senior Sister Jiang is just too eye-catching at school, it's hard not to notice her."

Jiang Liu glanced upwards:

Is that considered a compliment?

"Uh, half and half."

Is he actually thinking about it seriously?

At the same time, Chen Shi noticed that many of the boys who came out of the classroom were looking at him with envy, while Wang Wei gave him a thumbs up.

"By the way, what happened to Su Yining just now?"

Jiang Liu asked:

"Even my top-notch inspiration couldn't subdue her; she was haunting me right in front of me."

"It might be because someone is spreading rumors about us."

Chen Shi himself almost laughed when he said that.

It turns out that people can actually laugh out loud when they're speechless.

"us?"

Jiang Liu also smiled:

"I'm several years older than you. We're not a good match, and they actually dare to spread rumors."

"So, how old are you, Senior Sister Jiang?"

"Don't take this opportunity to find out a girl's age."

Jiang Liu tapped Chen Shi on the head.

Recalling Su Yining's behavior at the music store, Jiang Liu had a knowing look on her face:

"So, in other words, Su Yining is... you know?"

"What?"

Jiang Liu smiled, not saying it explicitly, but she understood.

Su Yining is treating her as a competitor.

Chapter 98 Chen Shi, You're hopeless

Jiang Liu could tell that the girl was interested in Chen Shi, and since Chen Shi came to her place every night for "special activities," he probably felt threatened.

Jiang Liu smiled faintly and sighed:

"Although it is a very special spirit, it is still a little girl at heart."

Chen Shi was a little confused, so he simply got straight to the point:

"So, what brings you here, Senior Sister Jiang?"

"What? You're my junior brother and disciple, and I can't even come to see you?"

Jiang Liu flicked his forehead.

Chen Shi was speechless: "Didn't you, Senior Sister Jiang, say that top-level ferrymen are extremely busy?"

"Hehe, just kidding."

Jiang Liu explained:

"I won't be in Nanhai City for the next two days. I'm going to Shangyuan City next door to deal with the suppression of a top-level evil spirit."

She instructed:

"I'll be back soon. Things have been quite turbulent in Nanhai City lately. There are a lot of third-level ferrymen on standby there. If you encounter any trouble, don't try to fight it yourself. Send a message to Zhang Chengkang first, understand?"

"Understood," Chen Shi replied.

With the Flower Festival and the Spirit Weapon Hunters again, things are definitely not peaceful in Nanhai City lately.

"Next time you go out, remember to bring the instrument case with you. The ferryman's magical artifact must never be out of his sight."

As Jiang Liu spoke, she patted her guitar case.

It was filled with high-level magical artifacts.

"I've already given you the violin case, haven't you put it away safely?" she asked.

As early as the first day of learning the violin, Jiang Liu gave him a matching violin case to carry the [Soul-Guiding Violin].

"Don't worry, senior sister, keep it safe."

"That's good, and this too..."

Jiang Liu opened her phone, tapped the screen with her slender fingers, and sent a document.

"This is?"

Chen Shi opened the document and saw that it listed the train schedules and times for many trains, subways, and high-speed trains in Nanhai City.

"Last time Su Yining recalled something, she mentioned a train, right?" Jiang Liu put away her phone.

"Ah."

Chen Shi pondered:

"I think it's highly likely that, like that school, it's either the location of a major memory incident or there are body fragments there."

"But she is special; a corpse can give birth to a malevolent spirit."

Seeing an elderly teacher pass by, Jiang Liu turned around, smiled, nodded, and immediately said after giving a perfunctory reply:

"So I spent time searching for paranormal sightings of trains and sorted out the times and locations."

The moment the topic of spirit crossing came up, her attitude immediately became professional:

"Because Su Yining died in Nanhai City, and all three evil spirits are gathered in Nanhai City, I have narrowed down the search to the city. You can follow this information to find it, but it will probably take some time."

"That's really detailed."

Chen Shi swiped the screen and couldn't help but sigh.

Such a rare resource as a top-tier ferryman still requires us to find time to train him every night, and we've also compiled this information.

It's clear that Jiang Liu has really put a lot of thought into his junior brother.

"However, this is something that you and Su Yining are investigating. Although you are an recognized ferryman and the higher-ups won't cause you trouble, it doesn't mean they will offer to help you."
