Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

As Ye Shaoyang was moping about his sad situation, his phone rang . He picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Jingru .

He answered it, and Zhou Jingru said, “Big Brother Shaoyang, are you ready? I’m going to send a car over to pick you guys up . ”

Ye Shaoyang was shocked . “Pick us up to do what?”

Zhou Jingru was slightly taken aback . “Didn’t you ask me out to go swimming? I even got my swimwear ready . You’re not chickening out, are you?”

“Swimming?” Ye Shaoyang scratched his head and asked, “When did I ask you out to swim?”

“Last night, Xiao Ma called me up saying that you wanted to ask me out to swim but were shy about it . He even asked me to bring Wang Ping, to make it less awkward . ”

F*cking sh*t!

Ye Shaoyang immediately understood Xiao Ma’s plan . Xiao Ma wanted to ask Wang Ping out but feared that he would be rejected, so he used Ye Shaoyang’s name to ask Zhou Jingru and Wang Ping out .

Little sh*t, when did he become so smart and able to think up this kind of sneaky plan?

After Zhou Jingru didn’t get any response, she figured it out .

“Big Brother Shaoyang, Xiao Ma did this in order to get to Wang Ping, didn’t he? . . . Well, we’ve already gotten ready, so why don’t you just come and relax?”

Since Zhou Jingru had already asked and got ready, Ye Shaoyang thought it would be bad not to go . He didn’t have much to do today, so Ye Shaoyang felt it was okay to go relax .

After ending the call, Ye Shaoyang turned around and quietly stared at Xiao Ma .

Xiao Ma immediately got nervous, “Little Ye, don’t look at me like that, dude . I’m just trying my best to get the girl I want . I know it was wrong, but I mean, I did this for you too . See, now, you can spend time with Zhou Jingru too . ”

Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh and said, “Excuses, excuses . If you keep talking you little sh*t, I’ll beat your fat ass up!”

When he heard this Xiao Ma immediately panicked, “Little Ye, please just come with us? Please do this for me? Please!”

Ye Shaoyang gave him a stern look and said, “No mercy next time!”

After twenty minutes or so, the car Zhou Jingru sent arrived . The driver was old and didn’t talk much, but he drove pretty fast . After about half an hour, they had arrived at their destination . When they got there, they saw Zhou Jingru and Wang Ping waiting outside .

Xiao Ma’s face immediately became as bright as a flower when he saw Wang Ping . Quickly, he went to her and began to chat with her .

Zhou Jingru and Ye Shaoyang gave each other a look and were speechless .

“Since you guys were near, I thought this swimming pool was appropriate,” Zhou Jingru explained . “There’s a small pool here . I got people to clean it out and change the water as well . ”

An attendant took Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma to buy some swimwear; then, he showed them to their lockers . When the two guys arrived at the swimming pool, Zhou Jingru and Wang Ping had also just arrived .

Both the women had almost perfect bodies . Unfortunately, the spectators were only Xiao Ma and Ye Shaoyang .

“Here . Inner tube or floaties: which one do you want?” Zhou Jingru asked .

“I’ve never used either of them . ”

Ye Shaoyang smiled, turned, and jumped into the water . He swam underwater for quite some time before coming up . He turned to the three who stood and stared in awe as they watched him .

“What’s wrong?” Ye Shaoyang looked at them in confusion .

The three of them only shook their heads .

When Zhou Jingru got into the pool, she slowly swam over to Ye Shaoyang and said, “Big Brother Shaoyang, I never knew you could swim so well . ”

“Oh, when I was young, there was nothing much to do on the mountain . Since there was a lake on the mountain, I would go swimming every time it got hot . I think that was the only entertainment I had back then . ”

Xiao Ma put on an inner tube and he jumped into the pool .

Wang Ping got in from the other side of the pool and said, “I don’t know how to swim . Could someone come teach me please?”

“I’ll will . I’ll teach you!” Xiao Ma quickly pushed himself over .

Ye Shaoyang frowned and asked, “You don’t seem like you know how to swim . ”

“That’s why she and I need to train together . ”

Zhou Jingru giggled and said, “Give him a chance . Let’s go swim for a bit . ”

The two of them swam and chatted . They also watched as Xiao Ma and Wang Ping struggle in the shallow area . When the two were tired, Zhou Jingru ordered some drinks and passed one to Ye Shaoyang .

Ye Shaoyang reached out, and Zhou Jingru screamed, “My God!”

Ye Shaoyang saw that she was staring at his arm . He realized that she was staring at the red line that had reached his elbow .

“When did it . . . grow that far?” Zhou Jingru asked in a sad voice .

“Recently, I think, but I’m fine . I have a month’s time . That’s more than enough time to find that Gu master . ”

Zhou Jingru let out a sigh and said, “You’re optimistic . ”

Suddenly, Zhou Jingru’s phone rang . She picked it up and frowned, “It’s Li Ansheng . I wonder what he wants . ”

“Why don’t you just answer it?” Ye Shaoyang asked .

Zhou Jingru answered the call, and after listening for a few seconds, her face turned pale . Then, she asked, “Are you sure?”

After listening for a little longer, she became so shocked that she let the phone slip from her hand and hit the ground . Ye Shaoyang quickly picked it up and asked, “What happened?”

Zhou Jingru remained quiet for quite some time . Then, she grabbed Ye Shaoyang’s hands and looked at him intently, “Brother Shaoyang, there’s something I need to tell you, but promise me not to freak out!”

Ye Shaoyang got ready and said, “Tell me . ”

Zhou Jingru took a few deep breaths and said, “Li Ansheng said that a few security personnel found two bodies lying outside Madam Chee’s Temple . One of them was Tan Xiaohui, and the other was Xie Yuqing . It seems like they got into some accident . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s heart dropped . He looked at her and asked, “What accident? What do you mean?”

“I mean . . . ,” Zhou Jingru took a deep breath and unwillingly said, “They’re dead . ”

Zhou Jingru watched Ye Shaoyang’s face slowly turn pale . His breathing slowed down . She knew Ye Shaoyang was close to Xie Yuqing, and that they were good friends . She wanted to comfort him, but Ye Shaoyang grabbed her hand and asked, “Where are they?”

“They’re still outside the temple . We’ve called the police, Brother Shaoyang--”

Before she could finish, Ye Shaoyang let go of her hand . He ran out and away from the pool without putting on shoes or changing clothes . After ten minutes of running, he reached the temple . When he arrived, he saw a few police cars, and two officers were setting up a perimeter .

When they heard footsteps, the two officers turned and saw Ye Shaoyang barefooted and in swim trunks . The two of them were shocked .

The faster of the pair tried to stop him, “Stop! This is a crime scene!”

Ye Shaoyang elbowed the officers and rushed into the temple yard . As he got near, he saw two officers carrying out a body covered with a white cloth on a stretcher .

When he was close enough, Ye Shaoyang pulled off the cloth and saw a familiar face that wasn’t that familiar anymore because it had become pale and lifeless .

Xie Yuqing . It was Xie Yuqing!
