Yu Duo finished lunch as fast as she could and hurried to get ready to leave the house.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the longer she stayed in the mansion, the more it felt haunted! But, just to be sure, she wanted to talk to this Master Wen to seek his opinion on what had happened last night.
"Madam, you must go to the doctor's first. You don't look well. Only go to Master Wen after you have gone to the doctor's, okay?"
Yu Duo nodded from the backseat, "Don't worry, Aunty Lian, I know my body."
Fu Sinian sat on the couch unaffected like a rock. He didn't have the good mood to follow Yu Duo to visit that so-called Master Wen. Judging from Aunty Lian's words, this medium just might be the real deal. And he was a ghost now, it didn't seem like a good idea to go with her.
And it was obvious that Yu Duo was plotting something, most likely to have him exorcised.
But exorcised or not, he wasn't going to go with her.
He was a man! He couldn't just follow a woman around day in and day out!
What he didn't noticed was that his body was gradually becoming more and more transparent after Yu Duo had left.
When Fu Sinian realized it, he could almost see through his own hand.
He looked down on his body that was gradually becoming transparent and frowned. He had no idea what was going on, but at this rate, he would disappear entirely before long.
That could be an exorcism in some sense?
But why was it happening?
Fu Sinian calmed down quickly and started analyzing what had been happening lately. This was the first time it had happened, not before. If there was anything that had changed, that was...
.... Yu Duo?
He suddenly realized that he was fine this entire time because he had always been around Yu Duo!
Arriving at this conclusion, more and more Fu Sinian was convinced that was the reason.
His body was becoming transparent at a faster and faster rate. Looking the Yu Duo who was already sitting inside the car outside of the mansion and the chauffeur who was about to drive away, Fu Sinian had a complicated look.
If he went with her, he'd be exorcised. If he didn't, he'd also be exorcised.
Either way he was doomed.
And if he was doomed either way, might as well go and meet this so-called Master Wen.
It's either him or I!
Five minutes later, sitting next to Yu Duo in the backseat of the car, Fu Sinian looked at his body gradually turning from transparent to solid, his face darkened and he refused to speak.
***
Yu Duo did not have the chauffeur take her to the doctor's but to the Chunfeng Alley on Chengxi Road.
This was quite a well-known street. It had a lot of history and still has red-brick buildings that reminded from the past. Vendors' shouting could be heard from the deeper part of the alley and an occasional dog bark.
"Pardon me, Mister, do you know where I can find Master Wen in Chunfeng Alley?"
The old man baking biscuits on the side of the road looked up at Yu Duo. He seemed to have a pretty good temperament. Smiling at Yu Duo, he asked, "Young lady, why are you looking for Master Wen?"
"Ugh... nothing important, I have some private issues that I would like to consult with him."
"Oh, I see... then just walk all the way down this alley way, make a turn. Master Wen's place will be the second door you see. Now go, child. Good luck to you."
Good luck to me?
Yu Duo didn't understand the old man's comment, but she thanked him politely, "Thank you, Mister."
"No problem."
Yu Doe walked forward until the end of the ally, took a turn, until she came to the second door that was shut tightly.
This should be the one.
Yu Duo walked up and knocked on the door. Nothing.
She knocked again patiently.
"Who is it?"
Someone's inside!
Yu Duo was startled, she was quite lucky then.
"I am looking for Master Wen!"
