Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System
Chapter 91: Xiao Qingya’s Special Power
Upon hearing Mo Chen’s words, it was as if he had pressed some sort of button. Ling Yu exploded, and she let out a long screech as she launched herself toward Mo Chen, wanting to claw at him with her long nails.
Mo Chen witnessed the change in front of him calmly.
Just as Ling Yu was about to pierce his heart, he moved. A talisman flew from his hand toward her, slamming against her chest.
Ling Yu froze, then she was abruptly sent back, crashing into the ground and all disheveled as though she had a corporeal body.
"Do you see that, little girl? She has been haunting your eldest brother for a while. Isn’t she terrifying?" Mo Chen smiled like a breeze. "She is the one who caused your eldest brother to be unconscious, what should we do to punish her?"
Xiao Qingya stared at Mo Chen with pursed lips. She had a feeling this young man was testing her.
[Ling Yu is actually a good person. She didn’t deliberately caused eldest brother to lose consciousness...] Xiao Qingya thought.
Originally, the Xiao family members were somewhat hostile to this female ghost who had caused Xiao Jingran to fall to such a state. However, from Xiao Qingya and Ling Yu’s conversation, they realized that this ghost wasn’t malicious at all.
They became a little sympathetic, but at the same time somewhat still wary.
Zhou Anran was also a bit conflicted. She didn’t want her youngest daughter to associate herself with such a dangerous entity, yet she was also the key to save Xiao Jingran.
Fortunately, this man named Mo Chen appeared.
He might have been the one who dealt with Ling Yu in the original story after Taoist Master Pan had poisoned him and ran away with the money.
[Let’s just help Ling Yu fulfill her wish. Hopefully, her brother can still make it. Didn’t she say that her brother’s right foot was injured? He should still be alive...]
After she thought about it, she tried to communicate with Ling Yu.
[Ling Yu, can you hear me?] She stared at Ling Yu.
However, the young woman remained unresponsive. She was trying to repeatedly attack Mo Chen like a madman, not caring whether her spirit became much more faint with each strike of his talisman.
Xiao Qingya became much more anxious.
"Are you scared, little one? Don’t worry, I will handle this ghost," Mo Chen told her.
Physician Bai sat on the chair beside Xiao Jingran’s bed. Behind him stood the medicine boys who were looking at Mo Chen’s action nervously.
With each of Mo Chen’s strikes, they could feel the strong wind passed by.
On the contrary to Xiao family’s complicated feeling, they hoped that Mo Chen would finish soon so that Xiao Jingran could wake up.
All of a sudden, Xiao Qingya ran toward Mo Chen’s leg and gripped him tightly, telling him in her childish voice. "Stop!"
The Xiao family members understood, but the medicine boys were baffled.
"Little baby, don’t disturb Master Mo, alright? He can deal with the scary ghost and cure your eldest brother..." Qiao Ren tried to explain in a gentle voice.
It took him a lot of effort not to snatch Xiao Qingya from Mo Chen’s legs, but... Xiao Fenghao was staring at him with warning in his eyes! What is he thinking?! Doesn’t he want to save his eldest brother too?
Mo Chen lit an incense and put it on the ground. The musky scent lingered in the air. The enraged Ling Yu was still eyeing him warily, ready to pounce at him any moment.
"What’s wrong?" Mo Chen crouched down and asked, shoving Xiao Qingya gently to the side in case the ghost changed her target to the little one. He used his lower limbs to block her.
Xiao Qingya pointed at Ling Yu and shook her head. "Don’t! She is... good person." She blinked and then corrected herself. "Good ghost!"
Mo Chen was a little astonished. When Xiao Qingya pointed her finger at Ling Yu, the female ghost, who was preparing to charge at him again, suddenly stopped.
He could see that Ling Yu had retracted her bloody long nails. The look in her eyes shifted, becoming a little more calm yet still full of daze.
Now, he could see it more clearly. Faint white mist floated to Ling Yu, as if cleansing her from all the resentment that soon would turn her into a resentful ghost.
Multiple times more effective than his special incense.
He thought that he could only deal with this ghost by wiping her out, but the little one in front of him had given him a big surprise.
Physician Bai glanced at Zhou Anran, a little puzzled; they just let Xiao Qingya run wild. Zhou Anran could feel his gaze, so in order not to make others suspicious, she got up and went over to her youngest daughter. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Little Ya, let’s not disturb Mr. Mo, alright? He will help your Eldest Brother to wake up soon." She tried to coax Xiao Qingya, but the little one’s grip on Mo Chen’s was incredibly strong. She didn’t want to let go.
"It’s alright, Mrs. Xiao," Mo Chen told her, his voice calm and collected. "The ghost has calmed down."
Xiao Qingya’s presence was affecting it.
Hearing about that, Zhou Anran relieved. She proceeded to ask Mo Chen. "Mr. Mo, you said that our Little Ya can see ghosts... will it be dangerous for her?"
If Zhou Anran were to ask him before he found out about Xiao Qingya’s special power, he might have nodded. The little one was still too young, and probably couldn’t control herself when she saw things that should be invisible to people.
She could easily reveal to these desperate ghosts about her ability to see them, resulting in a few troublesome things who would want to entangle with her.
Ghosts carried yin aura around and prolonged contact with the strong ones would make the little one get sick.
Mo Chen didn’t immediately answer her. He pondered over it. "If we can teach her how to make use of her power, it won’t be dangerous."
Physician Bai rolled his eyes when he heard Mo Chen’s words. They were full of disguised schemes.
"Little one, do you want to learn with me?" Mo Chen suddenly asked Xiao Qingya.
