My Tenant is a Female Ghost
A blinding light moved back and forth in the dim banquet hall. The girl in the wedding dress on stage whispered a few words to the lighting technician, who nodded and shared a knowing smile towards a corner of the venue.
The soft, rapid drumbeats echoed in the hearts of everyone present. Bai Zhuo pulled Miao Long, who was still munching on snacks, backward. Suddenly, the glaring light shone down on Bai Zhuo like a spotlight, and he could even feel the heat radiating from it onto his face!
"My dear sister, what are you up to now?"
The light fixed on Bai Zhuo as someone started clapping, and soon the hall was filled with thunderous applause. The stage host called out, "Oh! How enviable! Which handsome young man has captivated our beautiful and virtuous princess? Sir, please come up to the stage and let us see your true self! Please!"
Applause erupted once more, but facing the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Bai Zhuo felt no inclination to retreat; however, he hesitated and did not step forward.
"Go up! Go up! Go up!" The audience consisted of elites from various backgrounds, personally selected by Sister Yang. If they let Yang Qilin lose face here, they would have no future in Ningcheng.
However, after a long while, Bai Zhuo still did not make his way to the stage. Yang Liu anxiously awaited on stage and noticed that something seemed off with Bai Zhuo. The lighting technician turned on the main lights, and people began to stir towards the commotion in the crowd.
"It’s Leng Xuanhe, the Cold Young Master of the Yin-Yang Family and Leng Family."
"Oh? Leng Xuanhe is the ex-boyfriend of a Yang Family girl; that makes sense," someone explained.
Leng Xuanhe blocked Bai Zhuo's path, his tone icy. "Bai, you’re not qualified to go up there!"
"Whether I’m qualified or not has nothing to do with you," Bai Zhuo retorted mockingly. "Leng Xuanhe, you've been playing nice for that ridiculous title of Ningcheng's number one in the Yin Yang Realm for so long; now you dare speak to others like this?"
To be fair, Leng Xuanhe was well-mannered; however, for some reason, he always lost his composure when facing Bai Zhuo. He coldly replied, "Bai Zhuo, you are Ge Shui Lian's fiancé; you cannot go up!"
This statement struck a nerve with Bai Zhuo. Indeed, he was Ge Shui Lian's fiancé, and Ge Shui Lian herself was right beside Leng Xuanhe.
Earlier, Bai Zhuo had not noticed Ge Shui Lian at all. But when he saw her gesture just then, he suddenly felt that some things were meant to be let go.
Bai Zhuo sneered, pushing past Leng Xuanhe and resolutely making his way toward the stage.
However, after just a few steps, he was stopped by a middle-aged man. Bai Zhuo looked up to see a tall, imposing figure in a well-tailored suit, exuding an aura of authority without raising his voice.
Bai Zhuo frowned in confusion; he did not recognize this man. "Who are you? What do you want?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Bai Zhuo from head to toe. "You cannot go up there."
"Why not?" Bai Zhuo asked. "This has nothing to do with you, does it?"
The man shook his head. "I am Ge Shui Lian's uncle. My name is Ge Ying."
Bai Zhuo suddenly understood. Elder Ge had two sons; one was Ge Shui Lian's father, who had unfortunately passed away, and the other was Ge Shui Lian's uncle, a high-ranking official in the capital—Ge Ying.
Bai Zhuo glanced at the man before him and then suddenly pointed at Ge Shui Lian. "You can see for yourself."
Many people followed Bai Zhuo's gesture. It turned out that at some point, Ge Shui Lian and Leng Xuanhe were holding hands.
Once they became the center of attention, Ge Shui Lian abruptly realized what was happening. Her face turned pale as she quickly pulled her right hand away from Leng Xuanhe's grasp. However, this action only made it more evident that she was trying to cover up her feelings.
At this point, Ge Shui Lian's uncle had nothing more to say. The venue fell silent as the band and sound technicians wisely ceased their music, leaving an eerie stillness where many began to sense something unusual.
Ge Ying sighed. "I'm getting old... I really can't interfere in your young people's affairs anymore. Let me speak on behalf of my father: your engagement with Lian Lian is hereby annulled."
After speaking, Ge Ying cast a glance at Ge Shui Lian before turning to leave. His words were quiet but resonated clearly in the hushed venue, reaching every ear present.
It was only when Bai Zhuo stepped onto the stage that Ge Shui Lian's tears began to fall like rain as she silently wept and turned to run away. She hadn't realized until now that she had already fallen in love with Bai Zhuo without even knowing it.
Bai Zhuo watched Ge Shui Lian's retreating figure along with Leng Xuanhe's smug smile and felt that something was amiss. Yang Liu seemed to sense Bai Zhuo's distress; she leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "I'm sorry for taking matters into my own hands tonight. I'll explain everything to Sister Shui Lian later."
Bai Zhuo leaned close to Yang Liu's ear and said fiercely, "No matter what you're planning, you better get your backside ready!"
"How shameless!" Yang Liu spat, blushing. "You should think about your own affairs. You need to make a decision about your relationships with Sister Shirei and Shui Lian."
Bai Zhuo and Yang Liu were whispering sweet nothings to each other in front of everyone, looking like a couple deeply in love. At that moment, Leng Xuanhe called out from the audience, "Hey, Bai! Today is Liu Er's birthday. What did you bring for such an important occasion?"
Before Bai Zhuo could respond, Leng Xuanhe continued, "I, Leng Xuanhe, brought a crown of William XIII for the birthday star. You didn't just bring a bottle of cheap perfume, did you? Hahaha! If not, please show us what you got so we can all have a look, hahaha..."
"Tsk..." Bai Zhuo's eyelids twitched. How did he know I bought perfume? Damn it...
Yang Liu wrapped her arms around Bai Zhuo and whispered, "Hey... no matter what you bought, even if it's the worst quality perfume, I would gladly accept it."
Bai Zhuo was sweating profusely. In front of everyone, he didn't want to embarrass Yang Liu and needed to come up with a plan! Suddenly, he felt something hard as stone in his pocket and remembered that it was the Supplementary Stone infused with Spiritual Energy by Su Meiniang!
"Damn it, I'm taking a gamble! Su Meiniang, please don't let me down!" Bai Zhuo muttered to himself.
"What are you talking about?" Yang Liu asked.
"Nothing," Bai Zhuo replied. "I just hope someone here knows their stuff." He gently pushed Yang Liu aside and disdainfully said to Leng Xuanhe, "Leng Xuanhe, don't look down on others. In my eyes, you'll always be nothing but trash!" Bai Zhuo pulled out the Seven-Colored Jade Stone from his pocket and declared, "Take a look at this!"
