Feng Ru showed a smile and began to explain.
"You are still young, and you won't find a good job outside. Why not go to university? A life without university is a regret."
"Go to university?"
Hearing this strange yet familiar phrase, Feng Yu fell into thought.
The car also slowly stopped at the intersection, waiting for the green light.
After a moment of thought, Feng Yu nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister and go to university..."
Before Feng Yu could finish speaking, a weak voice came from the back seat.
"Little girl, give me a ride, won't you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Yu's words came to an abrupt halt.
Why was there an old person's voice in the back seat?
Could it be a thug?
No.
When they got in, there was no one in the back seat.
Moreover, the car doors had been tightly shut, so it shouldn't have been possible for anyone to get in.
Unless the guy in the back wasn't human!
Thinking of this, Feng Yu's face immediately tensed up.
What was with all these strange things happening every day!
Feng Ru clearly couldn't hear the old person's voice from the back. Seeing Feng Yu suddenly fall silent, she asked with some confusion, "Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Feng Yu shook his head, trying to feign calmness, attempting to force a smile, but he couldn't manage it. He could only shake his head and say, "I'm fine."
"Hehehe."
In the back seat, the old man let out a few sinister laughs.
"Why is it so cold?"
Feng Ru shivered unexpectedly and turned to look at the back seat.
Seeing this, Feng Yu suddenly spoke, "Sister, when should I start the enrollment procedures?"
Feng Yu's call stopped Feng Ru, and she turned her head back. After thinking for a moment, she said, "After the fifteenth of July."
Feng Yu nodded, but his mind was entirely on the person in the back seat.
Seeing Feng Yu's strange expression, Feng Ru said with some concern, "What's wrong with you today? Are you really not going to the hospital to see a doctor?"
Feng Yu shook his head. Seeing that the light ahead had turned green, he said, "Sister, the light is green now."
Feng Ru saw that the car started and continued to drive forward.
On the road, Feng Ru kept chatting with Feng Yu.
Feng Yu, however, responded perfunctorily, his attention entirely on the back seat.
Through the rearview mirror, Feng Yu could see an old man in his seventies or eighties sitting motionless.
Perhaps noticing Feng Yu's gaze, the old man also looked at Feng Yu in front through the rearview mirror.
One person and one ghost's eyes met.
Feng Yu swallowed, his nerves instantly tightening.
It was bad. He had made eye contact with this guy.
This old ghost was different from that little female ghost.
That little female ghost might run away in fear, but this old ghost wasn't that simple.
To Feng Yu's surprise, the old ghost in the back seat instinctively turned his head away to avoid his gaze.
Feng Yu's heart was also pounding. He tacitly withdrew his gaze.
He truly had no ability to deal with this old ghost right now.
Although he didn't know why this old ghost feared him, if he discovered that he had no real skills, he would be in big trouble.
People often said that the fox borrowed the tiger's might. Since this old ghost was so afraid of him,
He had to act even more convincingly.
With this thought, Feng Yu's courage grew. He rolled down the car window, rested one hand on the window, looked ahead, and ignored the old ghost in the back seat.
At this moment, the old ghost in the back seat was nervously fidgeting, filled with regret.
Oh dear, he just wanted a ride, but he didn't expect to get into a Taoist priest's car.
The pressure from this Taoist priest was terrifying.
He could feel that the young man in front of him had an incredibly strong Taoist aura.
He was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Just a glance, and he felt like he was about to dissipate into thin air the next second.
Fortunately, he had never harmed anyone, otherwise, he would have long since vanished.
Because of the matter with the entrance to the underworld, they, these lonely souls, were also implicated.
Taoist priests nowadays killed ghosts on sight, regardless of whether you escaped from the underworld.
It could be said that they, these lonely souls in the human world, were also living in constant fear.
All the way, Feng Yu would occasionally glance at the old ghost in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Every time their eyes met, the old ghost would instinctively dodge.
With this back and forth, Feng Yu's courage grew, and he carefully observed the old ghost.
How to put it, this ghost could be distinguished from a human at a glance.
Besides being more terrifying, another characteristic of ghosts was their coldness.
Even sitting in the front, he could feel the chill emanating from behind.
This was not ordinary coldness, but a bone-chilling cold.
Feng Ru, sitting beside him, couldn't see the old ghost but could feel the coldness emanating from him. She had already turned on the heater.
When the car reached the entrance of the underground parking lot, the old ghost darted out of the car like a wisp of smoke, floated to the side, and transformed back into human form, but did not leave.
Seeing this, Feng Yu understood. He glanced at Feng Ru in the driver's seat and said, "Sister, I won't go down. I'll wait for you upstairs."
Feng Ru nodded, "Okay, then you wait for me upstairs."
Feng Yu nodded and got out of the car, but did not walk over immediately.
He didn't understand what the old ghost wanted now, or what his motives were.
But the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot.
However, judging by the old ghost's lack of malice, he would have made a move earlier if he had any ill intentions.
Feng Yu braced himself and walked over, one hand casually reaching for the dagger at his waist.
Although he knew this thing would probably be useless against the old ghost.
It at least provided some sense of comfort.
Approaching, Feng Yu mustered his courage and put on a stern demeanor, "What is it?"
Seeing Feng Yu's serious expression, the old ghost quickly cupped his hands in a salute and said gratefully, "Thank you, Daoist Master, for sparing my life just now."
Daoist Master?
Feng Yu frowned. Daoist Master should mean Taoist priest.
But why was he so sure he was a Taoist priest?
"Why are you so sure I am a Taoist priest?" Feng Yu asked curiously.
But as soon as he said this, Feng Yu immediately realized something was wrong.
If he said this, his identity would definitely be exposed.
As expected, as soon as Feng Yu said this, the old ghost immediately sensed something was amiss.
Any cultivator would know this question.
There were only two possibilities for the young man in front of him asking this question.
Either he was testing him, or he wasn't a Taoist priest at all.
The old ghost looked closely at Feng Yu's face again.
But with just one glance, he was already certain.
The Daoist Master in front of him was definitely testing him.
The aura on his face was the strongest among the cultivators he had seen.
Even a mere glance made his whole body tremble with fear.
Such a powerful Taoist priest, it was best not to provoke him.
At this moment, Feng Yu was also extremely nervous, his heart pounding wildly. One hand had already reached for the dagger at his waist.
If it didn't work, he would have to fight for his life.
Seeing Feng Yu's hand reaching for his waist, the old ghost quickly explained, "Because of the aura on your face, Daoist Master."
