1130 Desperation and foolishness

When Xue Ping realized that the ghost was targeting her to the point that she was not even letting her off when it was afternoon, she felt a chill climb her spine like never before. It was as if someone had pushed her into a freexing cellar causing Xue Ping to tremble. 

She immediately turned to look at Song Yan and then wailed sharply, " Madam Song, I know I was in the wrong but I felt stifled while being locked inside the ward which is why I walked out. I did not think that the ghost would come looking for me in the afternoon." 

" Please drive this malicious ghost away! If she succeeds in harming me then I am sure that she will harm others as well. Please exorcise this ghost tonight, I believe that it is getting stronger with each night!" 

As Xue Ping said those words, she could not help but fiddle with her fingers, she was really afraid as the ghost of that woman was after her life! 

Song Yan looked at the nervous Xue Ping and then said solemnly, " I will subdue that ghost but you have to listen to me. If you don't then there is no need to blame me for not being able to save you." 

" Thank you! Thank you celestial master Song! I promise that I will reward you even more generously after you have subdued this ghost," Xue Ping promised as she looked at Song Yan with a grateful expression on her face. 

She really wanted the ghost that was haunting her to vanish forever, she could not even wait an hour for Song Yan to exorcise that ghost. If it wasn't out of her control, Xue Ping would have turned day into night such that Song Yan could deal with that ghost as soon as possible. 

Because Xue Ping knew that as long as that ghost was not subdued, it would continue to haunt her! She did not want such a dangerous sword to hang at the back of her throat! 

She did not want to live a life where she had to keep looking behind her such that she would be able to survive! 

Xue Ping pursed her lips and then asked Song Yan to deal with the ghost once more, she was so agitated that Ji Zhuang Guang had to bring her a cup of hot cocoa. 

Only then did Xue Ping calm down a little. 

Song Yan looked at Xue Ping who was drinking hot chocolate and arched a brow before saying," Miss Ji seemed to be quite a fan of bitter drinks. I guess there is no sugar inside it?" 

Xue Ping did not know why Song Yan asked her this but she nodded and agreed with Song Yan before saying, " I need to keep an eye on my weight as I am going to work as an actress, Madam Song." 

" Is that so? But I heard from someone that you used to like sweet drinks a lot more than bitter ones, I cannot believe that the person was only saying lies to me," Song Yan remarked causing Xue Ping to stiffen. 

The real Ji Ziyi did like eating and drinking sweet things but Xue Ping was an adult and her taste buds were different than that of a child thus she liked drinks that were slightly bitter and did not have any sweetness to them. 

" A,..Ah, my taste changed as I grew up," Xue Ping replied while watching Song Yan carefully, did this woman figure out something?

Song Yan noticed her doubts but she did not say anything to Xue Ping and simply pretended to not notice what was going on in Xue Ping's head. She said, " I am afraid that you need to keep your bitter drinks in control for now, you are hurt and haven't recovered, drinking such things can harm your body." 

When Xue Ping heard Song Yan's words, her vigilance dropped and when she saw Song Yan's calm expression she let go of her nervousness. Looks like Song Yan just made a casual remark. 

Her face softened and she added slowly, " I know but I cannot do without my hot cocoa when I am nervous. Without this, I will be a nervous wreck and with what is going on around me, this is the only thing that is keeping me sane." 

On the other hand, Ji Zhuang Guang looked at Ji Ziyi with a slight frown what Song Yan said was indeed true when Ji Ziyi was seventeen she liked to eat sweet things a lot but suddenly she started to keep her hands off them. 

He believed Ji Ziyi's words when she told him that she needed to change her taste buds now that she was acting but now that he thought about it, how could his sister change so much in a fraction of a few months? Not once did she whine or make a fuss to eat sugar when she did so many times when she was young!

This information that he had ignored for a while was now sticking like a sore thumb which was Ji Zhaung Guang took a few more glances at his sister and then looked away. 

Was he thinking too much? He thought in his head. 

Song Yan looked at Ji Zhuang Guang and curled her lips, It looked like her work here was done. She looked at Xue Ping who was inside Ji Ziyi's body and then said with a smile, " I will come back at night, this time make sure that you do not open the door of your ward or else no one will be able to save you or your brothers."

She said this thing deliberately because she wanted to remind the Ji brothers that their lives were in the hands of Ji Ziyi, if she made a mistake then they could forget about coming out of this ward alive. 

Ji Ziyi agreed with Song Yan and did not refute her. 

But Song Yan knew that Ji Ziyi was going to break her promise as the three Ji brothers had a thick, death aura on their foreheads!
