Chapter 546：The Lonely Top Student 9

Seeing the doubt on Jiao Tong’s face, Tang Wan quickly put on a mysterious expression again.

“What I said is true. Haven’t you heard about my ‘destructive power’ at school? I didn’t actually break those things—it’s because there are ghosts causing trouble. I have to deal with them, otherwise accidents keep happening. Yesterday, I stopped you because I sensed something wrong with you.”

Jiao Tong’s expression turned uncertain.

After a moment, he asked carefully, “Are you really a celestial master? You can see… the thing inside me?”

“Yes,” Tang Wan nodded seriously. “It’s a malicious spirit. Somehow, it invaded your body and now wants to take it over. Have you read xianxia novels? It’s like possession—it wants to push your soul out and replace you to live in this world again.”

Hearing this, Jiao Tong finally believed her.

Because everything she said… matched his situation exactly.

For a moment, he looked at her with urgency. “Tang Wan… Master, can you help me?”

“Of course!” Tang Wan nodded firmly.

Jiao Tong’s expression immediately relaxed with relief. “Please, help me!”

At the same time, his favorability rose sharply.

Tang Wan was secretly thrilled. Then she curled her finger at him, signaling him to come closer.

Jiao Tong leaned down slightly.

“Your situation…” Tang Wan lifted her chin, trying to look composed. “It’s both difficult and simple.”

She paused, then added, “Actually, you don’t need to call me Master. Just call me Tang Wan.”

“Alright, Tang Wan,” Jiao Tong agreed without hesitation. As long as there was hope, he wouldn’t let it slip.

Tang Wan nodded, then continued, “You might not believe this, but the solution is very simple. You just need to stay close to me often. As long as I’m by your side, the spirit inside you will gradually be suppressed by your own soul. Within half a year, it will disappear completely.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiao Tong’s face turned cold.

At the same time, his favorability plummeted.

Tang Wan: …

Little Cutie: …

“Shut up,” Tang Wan snapped internally before it could even comment.

Meanwhile, Jiao Tong had already regained his composure. He looked at her indifferently.

“Is this your way of getting close to me?” he said calmly. “Or are you just playing around?”

With that, he turned and walked toward the community gate.

He had actually believed her just now.

But now?

It was obvious—she was just making excuses to approach him.

How ridiculous.

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately panicked.

“Tong Tong, wait!” she hurried after him. “What I said is true! There really is something inside you. If you don’t believe me, stay with me for a while these next few days—or come find me at noon. You’ll see I’m telling the truth!”
