Chapter 3445: Is This Dude a Little Too Dumb?

It was true. Even if they stayed, they wouldn’t be able to help with anything. They would need to rely on Xie Jiling to protect them.

They would only distract her and become Xie Jiling’s burden.

“I’m not leaving.” Han Zhuofeng said.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

“I have the jade pendant, right?” Han Zhuofeng said, “What is the strongest vengeful spirit it can block?”

Xie Jiling didn’t answer. Instead, she asked, “Are you not afraid anymore?”

When Xie Jiling didn’t answer the question, Han Zhuofeng knew that no matter how strong the vengeful spirit was, the jade pendant would be able to block against it.

Now, Han Zhuofeng felt relieved.

“I’m scared.” Han Zhuofeng nodded and admitted. “However, I can’t let you be by yourself here.”

Xie Jiling frowned and said, “It will be dangerous if you stay here. And I said—”

“I would distract you, and you would have to protect me,” Han Zhuofeng said, “I will always follow behind you and be around you. If I stay, I will definitely follow you closely.”

Otherwise, he would be afraid.

“In addition, I have the jade pendant. It will protect me a few times, right? If the jade pendant blocked against it a few times, you would obviously be able to defeat it, right?” Han Zhuofeng sounded really confident.

Xie Jiling sighed and said, “Then, how will you help me by staying?”

“If there really were a vengeful spirit, you won’t be able to help me deal with it. This place doesn’t get reception, so you won’t even be able to contact people from outside for help.” Xie Jiling told the harsh truth. “What can you do if you stay?”

Han Zhuofeng’s face turned red.

When Xie Jiling said that, Han Zhuofeng felt like he was useless.

“You shouldn’t feel useless either.” Xie Jiling added, “There are specialties and skills in each field of work. You know how to be a director, and I don’t. I wouldn’t know how to help you in that field. I know how to be an exorcist, but you don’t. It’s not just you. There are many who don’t know how to exorcise.”

“Your brother is powerful, right? Wei Wucai is powerful, right? But when they encounter things like this, they can’t do anything as well,” Xie Jiling said.

She seemed to have known that she had been too harsh on Han Zhuofeng and had hurt Han Zhuofeng’s self-esteem.

“I know. You don’t have to comfort me. I’m aware,” Han Zhuofeng said. However, he still felt depressed.

He knew that he couldn’t do anything. Still, he wanted to stay and keep Xie Jiling company.

Han Zhuoling looked at Han Zhuofeng. Han Zhuoling’s head drooped down. He appeared sad and wilted. He looked really depressed.

“Just let him stay,” Han Zhuoling said.

Xie Jiling looked at Han Zhuoling puzzledly.

Xie Jiling didn’t say it out loud, but her expression was clearly conveying, “This is your brother. Aren’t you scared that something bad might happen to him?”

Han Zhuoling fell silent for a moment.

How could he not be worried?

This dude was basically born to be his debt collector!

Was Han Zhuofeng unaware of his own strengths?

But he still wanted to stay!

He wouldn’t be able to help with anything if he stayed!

But if he weren’t allowed to stay, he would look so aggrieved.

That was enough!

“He’s a man. Even if he doesn’t know how to exorcise, he should at least try to accompany you.” Han Zhuoling said.

“Ghost Town asks its visitors to leave by 5 pm. If a vengeful spirit exist, it wouldn’t come out that early. It would have to wait until the sky darkens completely. This kid would be able to display his only function there, which is to keep you company before the vengeful spirit comes out,” Han Zhuoling said.

“As for your worry about something bad happening…” Han Zhuoling was worried, so he said, “With you being there, nothing would happen to him. If worse comes to worst, just give him more things to keep him alive.”

Han Zhuofeng didn’t think that there was anything bad about him having only the function of accompanying Xie Jiling and chatting with her.

In fact, he felt joyous and surprised to know that he could play this role.

Why didn’t he think about this?!

As expected of his big brother!

His big brother was too smart!

As such, when Han Zhuofeng was in front of Xie Jiling, he became like a dog wagging its tail, trying to make his presence even stronger. If he actually barked, he would totally be mistaken as a dog.

“Let me stay?” Han Zhuofeng asked.

Xie Jiling was helpless. She took out a bigger jade pendant from her bag.

“I don’t have a bracelet anymore. This is bigger and has more energy. You can wear this as well.” Xie Jiling handed the jade pendant to Han Zhuofeng.

Han Zhuofeng happily took the jade pendant. After he wore it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

“I thought you told me that the amount of energy in the jade pendant has nothing to do with its size?” Han Zhuofeng said.

Xie Jiling was speechless.

Previously, she didn’t think Han Zhuofeng would be so unlucky to encounter vengeful spirits frequently.

But then, Han Zhuofeng seemed to be a magnet of vengeful spirits.

When he was filming in B City, he met one.

When he came to Ta Town, somewhere so far away, he encountered one again.

Xie Jiling realized that she probably should give him a bigger one.

Han Zhuoling raised his brow and stared at Xie Jiling.

Had this girl coaxed his brother with that lie?

Was this dude a little too dumb?

He believed whatever people said.

Xie Jiling coughed and chose not to answer Han Zhuofeng’s question.

Instead, she said, “This is free. Consider this a gift.”

Even when the situation could be really dangerous, Han Zhuofeng still chose to accompany her. Xie Jiling thought that it would be wrong of her to still ask for money.

Han Zhuofeng realized that this girl had lied to him.

However, he was a generous person, so he wouldn’t bother with such a thing.

When Han Zhuofeng heard what Xie Jiling said, he happily agreed.

Han Zhuoling felt speechless. “…”

If Xie Jiling had sold Han Zhuofeng out, Han Zhuofeng might even help Xie Jiling count the money earned from selling him.

The filming in the afternoon went well.

Thankfully, the filming at Ghost Town only took a day.

After the scenes were shot in the afternoon, they would spend the next two days filming in Danxia Scenic Area.

Han Zhuofeng quickly asked the members of the production crew to pack up.

“We have to finish packing up by 4:30 pm. Hurry up. When you are out of here, and you realize that you left something here, don’t come back for it. Just come back tomorrow morning. We have to get out by 5 pm. Once we are out of here, we will not be coming back inside,” Han Zhuofeng instructed.

“Of course, it would be best if we left nothing behind. The equipment and machines are all very expensive.” Han Zhuofeng added.

Han Zhuofeng sounded really nervous, so the members of the production crew didn’t dare to slack at all.

They all quickly packed up.

They couldn’t really organize their things.

They had only five minutes left.

They quickly put their equipment away and decided to organize it when they were back at the homestay.

When 4:30 pm arrived, they managed to organize everything on time.

Xie Jiling said, “Send them out first and make sure that no one is left behind. We will come back later.”

Han Zhuofeng nodded.

And so, Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng stayed at the very back.

When they were certain that none of the members of the production crew were left behind…

They then walked toward the gate.

When they arrived at the exit, they made sure that all the members of the production crew had exited.

Because Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling were at the back, no one else but Han Zhuoling and the other three noticed that they had stayed inside Ghost Town.
