After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should get some rest. I've already arranged accommodations for everyone. Chuxin, please lead them to their rooms."

Ling Yue wanted to ask something more, but Jia Zhengjing said she was too old to stay up all night and had to go to sleep quickly, so she left in a hurry.

Chu Xin didn't bring up the topic again at all, but instead respectfully led Lin Heng to his room first.

Lu Boqing went directly to Ling Yi's room and said that he would sleep in the same room as Ling Yi in order to take care of him.

The place, which was just bustling a moment ago, suddenly became deserted.

Ling Yue looked up at the sky, hoping to enjoy the moonlight, but she couldn't see a single star.

"Are you and the young prince in that kind of relationship?"

Does Chu Xin walk without making a sound? Ling Yue was so startled that she shuddered.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about! He's only four years old. What's wrong with him at such a young age? What's going on in his head?"

"Tch, in the mortal world, people would have lived for hundreds of years. Look how much he dotes on your brother. I bet it's just love for the house because of the crow, you idiot."

Too lazy to listen to Chu Xin's nonsense, Ling Yue made an excuse that she was sleepy and was going to sleep.

But once I was actually in bed, I just couldn't fall asleep.

Who exactly murdered Sweetheart back then? Such a young and beautiful woman was beaten to death...

Shouldn't we ask the female ghost who was put into the gourd by Jia Zhengjing? But considering how powerful that female ghost is, who always tries to strangle her and eat her, she's so weak. She'd probably be killed before she even gets the answer.

Ling Yue became even more determined to become Jia Zhengjing's apprentice. She had witnessed Master Jia's prowess when she caught a ghost at the construction site last time, and she had had this idea since then.

Therefore, Ling Yue set an alarm clock to wake up earlier.

Firstly, to prevent him from missing the appointment due to other commitments; secondly, to make thorough preparations, as sincerity is the key to becoming an apprentice.

Jia Zhengjing slept in a secluded courtyard. Ling Yue had already inquired with Granny Li about it beforehand. The alarm clock was set for four o'clock in the morning, and it took three rings before she finally opened her eyes.

The thought of becoming as awesome as Master Jia in the future, being able to find out about Sweetheart's background, and being able to help more people or ghosts made me much more clear-headed.

Indeed, what wakes us up is never an alarm clock, but our dreams!

After washing up, Ling Yue looked out the window and saw that the sky was still pitch black; everyone must be fast asleep.

Ling Yue tiptoed out of the room and ran all the way to Jia Zhengjing's courtyard gate, carefully testing whether the gate was locked from the inside.

This weather is awful, it's so cold, she's shivering.

While blowing on his hand, he gently pushed the courtyard gate.

If it can't be pushed, then it's locked from the inside, which means that Master Jia hasn't gotten up or left the house yet.

Just as she was curiously trying to peek through the crack in the door at the furnishings in the yard, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "What are you doing?"

She was so frightened she almost died on the spot!

We hadn't seen a single person along the way, but suddenly, around four in the morning, in the pitch black, a voice rang out.

Ling Yue patted her chest and slowly turned around.

I took out my phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it before I could barely make out who it was.

"Oh my, you're so scary! Don't you make any noise when you walk?"

At this point, Ling Yue realized that the person she had seen was Jia Zhengjing...

The door was clearly locked from the inside, so how did he get out?

"Hey, you little brat, I haven't even asked you why you were lurking around in front of my yard, and you're already blaming me!"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Ling Yue said awkwardly, "Oh, I had something to ask you, and I thought you were so busy, so I wanted to avoid affecting your schedule, which is why I came to visit you so early, hehe."

"Look at how you're shivering. You're so young, yet you're so susceptible to the cold. You really need to start exercising. Look at Xiao Jing, he's so consistent, he starts exercising at six every morning. After you get married, you should have him take care of you."

Ling Yue noticed that Jia Zhengjing always liked to link her with Jing Yucheng.

"Hurry up and go inside to warm up."

As he spoke, he used the key to open the courtyard gate and led Ling Yue into the house.

The room was heated, making it feel like a completely different world from the outside. I felt so much more comfortable.

"Master, your courtyard was clearly locked from the inside, how did you get out?"

"It was too cold, and I was too lazy to open the door, so I flew out."

Who just said she wasn't resistant to the cold? You're not exactly resistant to the cold yourself, are you? Aren't you also afraid of getting your little hands cold?

Jia Zhengjing heated up a cup of milk for Ling Yue and brought it out.

"Here, have a glass of hot milk to warm yourself up first."

His living room was also decorated with solid wood furniture. The sofa looked hard, but it was covered with thick cushions, and the fabric of the cushions looked very high-end.

Jia Zhengjing sat on the sofa and picked up the sandalwood bracelet beside her and began to fiddle with it.

"Sit down, Xiao Lingzi, make yourself at home. What brings you here so early?"

Ling Yue had wanted to try this cushion for a long time and was just waiting for her owner to say so.

I must say, it's really comfortable.

When Ling Yue saw that Jia Zhengjing had asked the question directly, she quickly put down the milk she had only drunk a few sips of, stood up properly, and said solemnly, "Master, the purpose of my visit is to ask you to take me as your disciple. Please accept me as your apprentice!"

After saying that, he bowed solemnly to Jia Zhengjing.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhengjing, who had been carefully handling her sandalwood bracelet, dropped it to the ground with a thud.

He stared straight at Ling Yue, as if he had heard something horrifying.

When Ling Yue saw that her future master's bracelet had fallen to the ground, she knew it was time to show her loyalty.

He quickly stepped forward and picked it up: "Master, your bracelet, hehe."

Jia Zhengjing looked at her bracelet and quickly got up to take it: "Oh dear, no, no, how can I be your master? This won't do, no, no."

Ling Yue was completely confused. Why wouldn't it work? She wasn't missing any limbs, she ate well, and she was perfectly healthy.

"Why? Are there any conditions? Please tell me, and I will try my best!"

Seeing Ling Yue's resolute expression, Jia Zhengjing felt even more panicked.

"Oh dear, Xiao Lingzi, what you've done..."

Jia Zhengjing paused for a moment, then continued, "The main reason is that I only have Chuxin as my last disciple, and I have no plans to take on any more disciples."

Chu Xin is his only disciple? There are many Taoist priests in the entire Baiyun Temple. How did they all learn Taoism? Is this old man saying this on purpose to reject her?

Ling Yue tried to persuade him again: "Master, please accept me as your disciple. I really want to learn the art of exorcising ghosts. I will definitely study hard in the future and will never tarnish your reputation!"

Ling Yue's move has completely baffled Jia Zhengjing; it looks like she's going to have to fight a protracted battle!

"Xiao Lingzi, how about this, let me think about it first, let me think about it."

Ling Yue sensed a glimmer of hope and immediately felt a renewed sense of purpose, so she happily said goodbye to Jia Zhengjing.

Jia Zhengjing watched her skip and hop out of the yard before picking up the phone.

"Guofu, your daughter just insisted on becoming my disciple! You'd better think of a way, how can I accept her as my apprentice?"
