Jun Li was so worried that he didn't even want to wash the dishes after dinner and just hugged Bai Ze and lay on the bed. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon before Bai Ze slowly opened his eyes.

"Little wife!"

Jun Li showed a delighted look on his face as he put his arms around his waist and rubbed his neck affectionately. Bai Ze still seemed very weak and barely managed a "hmm". He also seemed to be more attached to Jun Li, humming and burrowing into his arms.

"How are you? I'll ask Grandpa to take a look and see if he can help you recover quickly!"

Jun Li couldn't bear to see him look so depressed and knew it was his fault, so he whispered, "I'm sorry... my little wife... next time I encounter something like this, I will listen to your advice... I don't care..."

"What? Are you scared..."

Bai Ze's voice was a little soft. He put his hand on Jun Li's face and said softly, "I never blamed you."

"Jun Li only touched the girl because he felt that she was unsafe alone at night... I didn't make it clear at the beginning..."

"Jun Li, I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired and need to rest for a long time..."

Bai Ze yawned softly and shrank back into his arms. He looked up at Jun Li and saw that he still had some self-blame and sadness on his face. He then cursed softly, "Idiot, I'm not dead. Don't act like I'm dying!"

Jun Li said "hmm" and tucked the quilt in for him, then kissed him in a flattering manner.

"You two have such a good relationship."

When the old man opened the door and saw this scene, his tone was particularly teasing and his smile was extremely ambiguous.

Jun Li was choked and coughed while holding his chest. He stood up and tried to explain but the more he explained, the more confused he became.

"No! Grandpa... that... I..."

"He he he is not...both of us..."

The old man waved his hands with an expression that said, "Oh, I know. This is your boyfriend. Okay, stop talking. What else can I do to you, an old man?"

"What era are you in? Are feudal arranged marriages still popular? Don't you see how old you are? Do you really think there are still girls who like you?"

"Only this ignorant little ghost could be fooled by your few words and become devoted to you. Look at what you have done to her. If I could still stop you two from being together, I guess no one would want you when you reach my age!"

Jun Li: …

So…his awesome old master agreed? But why couldn’t he be happy to hear this?

The old man was too lazy to pay attention to Jun Li. He walked to the bed with his hands behind his back and looked at Bai Ze carefully. Bai Ze clenched the quilt nervously but heard the old man sigh heavily.

Bai Ze:?!

"Ugh…"

The old man shook his head: "He's really handsome, but his eyesight isn't very good. How could he be so careless as to fall for my grandson?"

Jun Li: …

"Grandpa... that..."

Jun Li coughed and said, "Aren't you a Heavenly Master? Why don't you stop me and the vengeful spirit at all..."

"Jun Li, what is the difference between humans and ghosts?"

The old man suddenly spoke: "One died but remained in the world, and the other lived and remained in the world."

"Gui was also a human before, why do you think they are different? Is it just because they are dead?"

Jun Li opened his mouth and suddenly found that this old man who smoked all day and had a weird temper and was not serious was actually so insightful.

"I didn't cry when your grandma passed away. You were still little at the time and cried really hard. You didn't see that I was upset at all and you got mad at me and ignored me for three or five days."

The old man laughed and shook his head: "I didn't cry because for me, there is no difference between your grandma being dead and alive... I can see her and touch her. She is always with me in another way."

"Grandpa, I've actually been wanting to ask you for a long time. Aren't spirits only able to exist for seven days? Why do you..."

Jun Li suddenly felt that they had too many secrets hidden from him. The old man looked at him and slowly said, "If you also want to remain in the world forever, you can either become a heavenly master or a wizard like your grandmother."

"Once you become a Heavenly Master, your body structure will change. In a sense, you can no longer be considered human."

The old man opened a pack of cigarettes but then remembered that his granddaughter-in-law didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he stuffed it in. He looked at Jun Li and said, "Jun Li, do you want to become a heavenly master?"

"I?"

Jun Li was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this question. The old man looked at him for a long time and slowly said, "It is impossible for you to be with the vengeful spirit forever. The human body will die sooner or later. At that time, you may become a spirit because of your obsession."

"But you also said that the spirit can only stay for seven days, so what will happen to your boyfriend after seven days?"

The old man's eyes darkened slightly. He tapped his cane and looked at Jun Li's obviously pale face, then said: "Become a heavenly master. After death, you can become a spirit like us, but because of the different structure, you will not dissipate. You can accompany him in this way."

Jun Li slowly clenched his fists and suddenly said with great determination: "Grandpa, I am willing to become a Heavenly Master. You teach me. I not only want to guard Bai Ze, I also want to protect him."

"Grandpa... humans are too fragile... I always cause him trouble..."

Jun Li looked at Bai Ze distressedly, gently held his hand, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Bai Ze... I want to protect you..."

A warm feeling passed through Bai Ze's heart and then he said "hmm" softly.

The old man curled his lips when he saw them being so clingy. "Start learning from the basics with me tomorrow. You can't become a Heavenly Master just because you want to. For the sake of your boyfriend, you have to endure any hardship!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa."

This was the first time Jun Li was so serious. Bai Ze looked at the old man for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Senior, I have a question I don't understand."

"Why call me senior? Call me grandpa!"

The old man kicked Jun Li away with his crutch and approached the bed with a smile, fearing that his master's aura would scare Bai Ze.

"Tell me any problem. I'll tell you as long as I know the answer."

"that is…"

Bai Ze told the old man that he felt a strange aura last night but it disappeared without a trace the next second.

The old man frowned slightly when he heard this and tilted his head to look at Jun Li: "Which family in the village is that girl from?"

"How would I know...I haven't been back for how many years?"

"waste!"

Jun Li: …

The old man frowned and said nothing for a long time. Bai Ze seemed to realize that the situation might be more complicated than he thought, so he waited quietly for the old man to speak.

"Hiss... That's weird..."

The old man shook his head and muttered softly. He slowly said, "Generally speaking, any strange creature will leave a scent even if it disappears. It's even more so for a fierce creature. Logically, the scent will only become stronger and it won't disappear so quickly."

"unless…"

"Tsk..."

The old man wanted to smoke, fumbled for the cigarette box for a long time but finally put it back: "When you went over, the little girl was fine, just her clothes were taken off?"

"Yes, and the evil aura suddenly disappeared right there."

Bai Ze frowned as if he still couldn't understand. The old man also felt it was strange but hesitated for a moment and said: "There is a situation that can explain that problem, but it is really..."

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Have you ever heard of yin and yang?"

Jun Li certainly had never heard of this, but Bai Ze seemed to be thinking: "Grandpa means... a ghost and a human exist in the same body at the same time?!"

The old man looked at Bai Ze approvingly and said with a smile: "As expected of my granddaughter-in-law, she is so smart. Look at Jun Li, he is so stupid that I even doubt his IQ."

Jun Li: …

"No...Grandpa, why do you always scold me?"

Jun Li rubbed his hair and sat down silently. Bai Ze's brows suddenly relaxed but then frowned again.

"But... Grandpa's condition is extremely harsh. The human body cannot bear to share the same body with the evil spirit. And unless the human is willing to let the evil spirit take over the body, otherwise the forced occupation will only lead to the death of both parties."

Bai Ze thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why anyone would be willing to share a body with such an extremely unstable thing like Li Gui, but there seemed to be no other explanation except this one.
