The tension at the mention of 'failure' was palpable for Shang Ran.
She immediately shed tears, her fingernails dyed with laburnum dug deep into Shang Yan's palm, causing him to let out a muffled groan.
Quickly realizing her actions, Shang Ran hastily apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I just..."
Shang Yan lovingly held Shang Ran's hand, kissing the back repeatedly, then said, "Don't say it, I understand."
Turning his gaze back to Shang Ran, Shang Yan's eyes grew colder as he questioned Uncle Long, "Uncle, the old woman you found couldn't be...."
"Watch your words." Uncle Long fearfully glanced at the Ghost Lady and swiftly covered Shang Yan's mouth with his hand.
The Ghost Lady indeed possessed real skills; he had seen it with his own eyes....
This boy's indiscreet words left Uncle Long dissatisfied. If not for fear that his careless words might implicate his hard-won reunification with his niece, he would surely show him what angers a Ghost Lady can lead to.
