Chapter 876: The Psychic Master 40

He Tongyang’s expression darkened immediately.

His voice turned cold. “You really didn’t see anything?”

Wan Wan was standing right there—solid, tangible, someone he could clearly touch—and yet they claimed they saw nothing?

Hearing the sharpness in his tone, the maids only became more certain of their misunderstanding. Their faces tightened with nervous determination as they shook their heads even more vigorously.

“Yes, Patriarch! We truly didn’t see anything!” they insisted.

Their thoughts were simple—no matter what, they had to deny it.

After all, the salary in the He family was far too good to lose over something like this.

Seeing their unwavering expressions, He Tongyang’s heart sank slightly.

At that moment, Tang Wan stepped forward and spoke gently, trying to ease the tension. “Don’t be afraid, Tong Tong won’t blame you,” she said reassuringly. “But… can you really not see me?”

The maids hesitated for a moment, their expressions turning a little strange.

This question…

It felt oddly phrased.

Still, one of them gathered her courage and replied carefully, “Miss, please don’t worry. We’ve worked in the He family for years. We know what should be said and what shouldn’t. What should be seen—and what shouldn’t.”

She lowered her voice slightly, her tone earnest.

“Since you came out of the Patriarch’s room, we will definitely keep quiet. We won’t say a single word to anyone.”

The moment those words fell, He Tongyang’s eyes lit up.

A hint of joy flashed across his face.

“So you did see her?” he asked immediately.

“Yes, Patriarch,” the maid replied, now clearly confused.

There was a perfectly visible person standing there—how could they not see her?

At first, they thought he was hinting that they should pretend not to see anything. But now…

It seemed that wasn’t the case at all.

Without hesitation, He Tongyang reached out and grabbed Tang Wan’s hand, his expression bright with excitement.

“Wan Wan, it’s real,” he said, his voice filled with certainty. “You truly have a physical body now. Even ordinary people can see you.”

At the same time, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly about the maids.

If you saw her, you saw her—if you didn’t, you didn’t. Why make it so confusing?

At such a young age, how can your eyesight already be this unreliable?

Tang Wan looked at his rare display of excitement and couldn’t help but smile. “Mm,” she nodded. “I didn’t expect I could actually materialize like this.”

Meanwhile, the maids, who were slowly piecing things together, felt their faces turn pale.

“You… you are…” one of them stammered, her voice trembling.

If they remembered correctly—

The “Wan Wan” the Patriarch always spoke of…

Was the ancestor of the He family.

For a moment, their minds went blank.

A ghost… became human?

Or… came back to life?

Their bodies stiffened in unison.

Can we still resign now?

To confirm things further, He Tongyang didn’t stop there.

He took Tang Wan directly to the martial training grounds.

At that time, several disciples of the He family were practicing diligently. When they saw He Tongyang arrive with a young woman by his side, surprise immediately appeared on their faces.

“Patriarch, who is this young lady?” one of the younger members couldn’t help asking.

Hearing the question, a faint smile appeared in He Tongyang’s eyes.

He turned to look at Tang Wan, his gaze softening noticeably, before addressing everyone.

“This is the future mistress of the He family,” he said calmly. “Her name is Tang Wan.”

He deliberately chose those words.

There was no way he would reveal her true identity—that she was the ancestor they all revered.

If news spread that Tang Wan had cultivated from a ghost into something like a physical form…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

This was far more shocking than resurrection itself.

He wasn’t afraid of trouble.

But he couldn’t guarantee that he could protect her from everything at all times.

Because once word got out, countless people from the mystical world would come seeking her—

Desperate to uncover the secret of becoming a ghost immortal.
