She then turned to look at Assistant Xi and apologetically said, " If there is someone who wishes to die then there is nothing that I can do."
Though Uncle and Aunt Xi were slightly upset with what Song Yan said, they did not say anything because this person was called by Assistant Xi. On the other hand, Xi Sang who finally gained permission to stay with Yan Wuying couldn't care less about what Song Yan was saying, he kowtowed in front of Shen Yu and praised her with flowery words, " Miss Shen, you are the greatest. No one could understand me but only you were able to see through my situation, I have to say that you are the only one who has a heart! I cannot thank you enough."
Shen Yu who was getting praise was more than satisfied, she looked at Song Yan who was not even paying attention to her and was slightly upset but then she thought about how Xi Sang called Song Yan heartless and even the Xi parents were looking at her with dissatisfaction, Shen Yu was quite tickled.
Song Yan, on the other hand, rolled her eyes when she saw that Xi Sang was calling her heartless. She was indeed heartless but that was because she knew when a wound that was festering should be cut off and amputated, however, when she saw that the Xi parents were willing to let a ghost stay in the house under the threats of their son and couldn't be hard-hearted with him, she did not say anything.
She had already told them everything which needed to be said but even after this if the Xi family wanted to listen to their foolish son's words who was drowning in the gentle beauty of Lady Yan, then she couldn't be bothered with them at all.
"I think we should leave, assistant Xi," when Song Yan saw that the Xi parents have submitted under Xi Sang's stubborn will, there was nothing that she could do for them anymore.
Assistant Xi also looked at his uncle and aunt with disappointment, he couldn't believe that his uncle and aunt were willing to accept their son's stupid decision of staying in a ghost marriage but in the end, he was only a cousin and nothing else. He couldn't just interfere in their family matters just because he found it all unsettling.
He turned to look at his uncle and then said, " I hope you will not regret this uncle."
But before Uncle Xi could say anything, Xi Sang yelled at Assistant Xi and said, " I will never regret it! You are just jealous that I am better than you for once! Why? Do you feel bad that I was able to get a wife better than you ever can? Leave if you have nothing good to say!"
Seeing how rude Xi Sang was to him, Assistant Xi also did not say anything. He only came because Uncle Xi begged his father to help him but now that Xi Sang was acting up, Assistant Xi couldn't be bothered by him. He turned on his heels and without bidding Uncle and Aunt Xi goodbye turned to leave but before leaving, he left a few cold words, " From what happens to your family, it's your responsibility don't go calling for my father. He is old and cannot take so much excitement."
Uncle Xi stiffened when he saw that his nephew had been angered but he did not say anything. It was better to talk with his brother than with his straightforward nephew who wouldn't listen to anything.
As the two of them left, Uncle Xi handed Shen Yu a big sum of money but did not mention handing anything to Song Yan as he did not think that she was worth anything with no name and background. Seeing this Assistant Xi was furious, he wanted to tell his uncle that the woman he was sucking up to was a leech who was sticking close to Master Gu and had nothing to do with him and it was Song Yan who was the closest to Master Gu Chenyi.
But he was stopped by Song Yan who shook his head and then remarked, " If he wants to treat a fish eye as a pearl then there is nothing we can do."
Though Uncle Xi did not hear this, Shen Yu with her senses was able to hear what Song Yan said with ease. Thus, it was impossible for Shen Yu to stay put after hearing that Song Yan compared her to a fish eye, she immediately chased after Song Yan and then asked arrogantly, " Do you think that I did something wrong?"
" You don't?" Song Yan on the other hand questioned Shen Yu back with a raise of her brow as she curled a side of her lips and mockingly said, " You are a Celestial master, your job is to exorcise ghosts and send them to the underworld such that they don't harm humans."
" She is a simple wandering ghost!" Shen Yu countered making Song Yan scoff as she questioned, " How can you be so sure? Did she tell you? Or did she hand you some certificate that she wasn't malicious?"
These words rendered Shen Yu speechless.
Shen Yu was arrogant by nature and thus when she saw Song Yan looking down at her, she was quite upset but before she could say anything, Song Yan slid inside the car and closed the door with a bang leaving Shen Yu outside.
Seeing that Song Yan was acting so calm, Shen Yu was not happy. Thus she raised her head and then spoke in an insincere voice, " I am not saying that you were heartless but sometimes even celestial masters need to look past their grudges and rules. Even ghosts who died with grievance need to be given a chance."
Song Yan, however, did not pay attention to Shen Yu. Her attention was on the gaze which was aimed at her through the windows where the Xi family's kitchen was, even though she could not see to whom that black shadow belonged, Song Yan knew that the unfriendly and malicious gaze belonged to Yan Wuying.
