The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 39

Testing

Wen Yan only stayed at his own home for a week before returning. It wasn’t because his parents were tired of him; it was just that his parents were each going on business trips and had no time for him.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, his boyfriend waited eagerly, looking like a neglected newlywed. So, as soon as his parents left, Wen Yan packed a small bag and returned.

As soon as he came back, the originally somewhat deserted house instantly became lively. He single-handedly created the atmosphere of five people, sometimes leaning on Rong Xiao’s knees, acting spoiled, and other times shouting for the housekeeper to make him snacks.

The holly trees in the yard were almost losing their leaves due to his commotion.

Only Rong Xiao, whose mind was clouded by hormones, still found him cute.

As Yu Bu Wen cut fruits to prepare fruit puff pastries, he cast a mocking glance at Rong Xiao.

Well, this male demon loses his IQ when in love.

“I’ll be back a bit late tomorrow night; don’t wait for me for dinner,” Wen Yan leaned against Rong Xiao, flipping through a magazine without much interest. “Our club has an activity. We’ll probably have a meal together after.”

Rong Xiao knew about Wen Yan’s good friend who had started some supernatural research club, specifically studying various paranormal phenomena.

In his eyes, it was just children playing house. If they really discovered something supernatural, they would probably cry for their parents.

But seeing Wen Yan enjoy himself, Rong Xiao didn’t say anything and instead asked, “Do you need sponsorship funds?”

If needed, he could directly buy a building for them.

“No need. I originally wanted to sponsor Jin Yueze a bit, but he turned out to be a hidden tycoon with plenty of money,” Wen Yan replied. Initially, he didn’t pay much attention to the “Supernatural Research Club,” thinking Jin Yueze was just fooling around. However, Jin Yueze had actually applied for an activity room and even redecorated it. The members he recruited were quite interesting, and gradually, everyone became familiar with each other. Regardless of whether it was supernatural or not, the bi-weekly seminars evolved into club dinners.

“Also, today, Yueze mysteriously said he wants to show us something real and only called Li Zheng and me,” Wen Yan flipped through the magazine without much concern. “I hope he’s not planning to pull out a pen and play the Spirit Writing game. Otherwise, I’ll have to teach him a lesson.”

The two chatted until Yu Bu Wen called for dinner, and then they got up from the sofa one after the other.

Their life rhythm seemed to be echoing retirement.

While having dinner, Yu Bu Wen thought about advising Rong Xiao, as it had been almost half a month since he last went to the Demon Control Bureau, resembling a king avoiding morning court. However, on second thought, it should be Qi Kong who was anxious. Rong Xiao didn’t have to worry too much. So, Yu Bu Wen silently swallowed his words.

In the blink of an eye, it was late afternoon the next day.

Wen Yan and Li Zheng directly went to their club activity room. Since Jin Yueze insisted on keeping things secret, there were only three of them in the room that day.

Jin Yueze was already waiting for them.

It was evening, but the lights in the classroom weren’t on, and only the setting sun cast a blood-red glow through the windows.

Evening, already known as the witching hour.

Jin Yueze sat by the window, enveloped in the setting sun, making his features somewhat mysterious and unpredictable.

Compared to supernatural events, he did look more like a ghost.

Wen Yan wasn’t buying into this, sitting down next to him.

He had already seen a rolled-up paper in front of Jin Yueze, so he touched it with his fingers and asked, “Is this the real thing you mentioned?”

Jin Yueze moved his hand away, saying, “Don’t touch randomly; if you ruin it, I’ll hold you accountable.”

Wen Yan wasn’t convinced, thinking, who knows where you bought this imitation from.

Li Zheng didn’t take it seriously either, dragging a chair over and urging, “Enough with the mystification, tell us why you called us here.”

Jin Yueze explained slowly, “Have you two heard that people have often seen black shadows in our school recently? Some say they’ve seen someone studying in classrooms late at night, only to find it empty when they go in.”

Li Zheng and Wen Yan had indeed heard about this.

The rumors were spreading widely, circulating among various student dormitories.

However, the school analyzed it, suspecting that it was a top student sleepwalking. After all, there was still a month left before the final exams, and doing something abnormal under stress was normal.

Moreover, which university didn’t have ghost stories? It wasn’t worth making a fuss about.

Wen Yan pondered for a moment, speculating on Jin Yueze’s intentions. “You’re not trying to single-handedly debunk the campus legend, are you?”

Jin Yueze nodded in satisfaction, praising Wen Yan for his insightful comprehension.

Only then did he unfold the thing in front of him and introduce, “Today, I brought a formation for measuring dark energy, along with a specific chant. Different colors will appear in the middle; if there’s no color, there’s no dark energy. If it’s blue, it indicates lingering spirits, and if it’s red… Well, that means vengeful ghosts.”

Wen Yan initially didn’t take it seriously, just listening for the fun of it. The method of detecting energy wasn’t unheard of, but Jin Yueze, being an ordinary person, couldn’t possibly have the genuine version.

He exchanged a glance with Li Zheng and, at the same time, leaned over to take a look at what version of a knockoff Jin Yueze had in his hands.

Upon inspection, both of them were stunned.

Damn, this wasn’t a knockoff.

“I’m going to test today whether there are ghosts causing trouble in our school,” Jin Yueze concluded with his last sentence.

Actually, he didn’t fully believe in this campus legend himself. He was just a bit curious and wanted to play around. But he was afraid of getting some unfavorable outcome, so he didn’t call other club members.

After saying that, without waiting for Wen Yan and Li Zheng to express their opinions, he had already started reciting the incantation.

Wen Yan sensed that something was even more off. Damn, why was the incantation also real?

Helpless to stop Jin Yueze at this point, Wen Yan could only secretly send a text message under the table to Li Zheng.

“Which unethical Taoist priest sold this thing? Selling some fake ones to deceive people is okay, but why would they also sell real ones!!”

Li Zheng replied, “Stay calm, it’s okay even if it’s real. Our school is very clean; what could it possibly detect?”

Wen Yan thought about it. It made sense. Just as he was about to relax, he heard a scream from beside him.

He stiffly turned his head.

As if deliberately opposing him, there was indeed a small piece of crimson in the unfolded array, like a small piece of undried rouge smeared on the paper.

The classroom suddenly fell silent.

The three of them stared at each other, and no one spoke.

However, the red mark on the paper flowed like water.

Wen Yan and Li Zheng, not blind, could see that this indicated not only the presence of dark energy but also that it was very close to them.

The two of them frantically brainstormed, thinking about how to cover up this matter.

But before they could speak, they heard Jin Yueze chuckling. “It really turned red. It seems that person didn’t lie to me. Magic props are quite useful.”

He looked at Wen Yan and Li Zheng with a sincere expression. “Don’t be afraid, what I bought is actually a magic prop. It turns red when you sprinkle some water on it. I just wanted to scare you guys a bit.”

Wen Yan: “…”

Li Zheng: “…”

Damn magic prop.

That unknown scumbag Taoist had caused some harm.

The two of them nodded repeatedly.

“That’s right, I was wondering how there could be ghosts.”

“Believe in science, believe in Marx.”

The three of them wore sincere expressions, and in extreme tacit understanding, they stood up, linked arms, and left hand in hand.

The classroom door slammed shut, as if nothing had happened.
