"Zi Xue, don't be scared. I'm here. Even if there are ghosts, I'll chase them away!" Uchiha Songqi said to Kuriko Yuki jokingly.
Kuriko Yuki's face instantly flushed upon hearing him, and she turned her head to the side.
"Who's scared? I'm not scared at all."
Kuriko Yuki whispered, looking away.
Uchiha Songqi smiled at this and didn't continue joking.
Although the path was eerie, the moonlight made it clearly visible.
They walked in silence, each worried about something suddenly appearing beside them. Fortunately, the path was safe, and there were no ghosts as they had feared.
"This journey was really thrilling. I told you, there are no ghosts in this world at all."
Kuriko Yuki said, smiling, as she stood in front of the building.
Hua Wu and Spiritual Plant also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
"You girls are just too timid. Look at me, I wasn't scared at all during the whole journey, and I didn't act like you did."
Yamamoto Takeshi said, looking at them with his nose in the air.
"Don't say that, Yamamoto. Not speaking the whole way is also a sign of fear. And I just watched you; you were constantly looking from side to side."
Uchiha Songqi said, patting Yamamoto Takeshi's shoulder with a smile.
"No way. That's not true!"
Yamamoto Takeshi instantly became shy.
"Alright, everyone, don't be afraid. With me here, I'll definitely protect you all!"
Uchiha Songqi turned around and said to them.
"Now, let's go see if we can stay here!"
With that, Uchiha Songqi slowly approached the door, looking left and right.
"This building is really quite retro. In the old world, it would definitely have been home to a wealthy family!"
Uchiha Songqi thought to himself as he looked at the building.
Crack!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky, scaring the girls badly.
"Alright, alright, it was just lightning."
Uchiha Songqi turned around and comforted the girls.
However, lightning at this moment was truly strange.
Kuriko Yuki and the others slowly calmed down after looking at the sky.
Creak!
The door behind Uchiha Songqi slowly opened, revealing a face.
"Matsuzaki, you... behind you..."
Kuriko Yuki was so scared that she couldn't speak properly after seeing what was behind Uchiha Songqi.
"Behind me? What's wrong?"
Uchiha Songqi said, confused, but every one of their expressions showed extreme fear.
He slowly turned around, and this time, he was almost scared enough to sit on the ground.
"What the hell?"
Uchiha Songqi said with an exaggerated expression.
The face in the door crack slowly revealed a body and stepped out. It turned out to be a very old man.
"What are you doing here?"
The old man said in a very deep voice, looking at the few of them. His facial expression was very calm, and his eyes were somewhat vacant.
"So it's a person. That was really scary, especially with no sound."
Uchiha Songqi breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was an old man.
"Hello, old sir, it's like this."
"A few of us wanted to travel, and we're very tired from the journey, so we're looking for a place to stay."
"We happened to arrive here and wanted to ask if we could stay for a night."
Uchiha Songqi said with a smile to the old man in front of him.
Kuriko Yuki and the others hid behind Uchiha Songqi, peeking out their heads to look at the old man, waiting for his reply.
Uchiha Songqi still felt that this place was very strange and planned to observe it carefully once the old man agreed.
