The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 42

Ch 42: Acting Quite Like

The smart home system remained silent.

Gu Qingyin laughed in exasperation, “Fine, I hope you can keep playing dead.” Then, she took out her phone to call Lin Tian, asking her to come out and open the door.

When she came in the afternoon, she indeed didn’t find the Ghost Cultivator’s location, only figuring it out when she went back to her Meditative Practice.

Yin Energy is everywhere, proving that this Ghost Cultivator is everywhere, isn’t that just like the smart home system? She believed that the smart home system could be as responsive and attentive as possible, and the Ghost Cultivator could be the same. In the end, a ghost is just a kind of strange magnetic field, replacing the smart home system is too reasonable.

Lin Tian quickly came out, overjoyed to see Gu Qingyin. After opening the door, she tightly grabbed her hand, “You’re finally here.” Heaven knows how she got through the past hour, being scared herself and having to deal with Lin Xian, that clueless daredevil, so exhausting.

Gu Qingyin entered the villa with Lin Tian, “Stay by my side later, don’t panic no matter what you see, if you’re scared, just close your eyes, cover your head, stay quiet, and don’t run around.”

Lin Tian responded, just about to find Lin Xian to tell him the same, but she froze when she looked up.

Lin Xian was sitting on the sofa, with a petite woman sitting beside him, someone somewhat familiar.

Lin Tian felt a chill down her spine. When she went out to open the door, there was no one else in the house!

The woman heard the movement, turned her head to look over, revealing a face that Lin Tian was extremely familiar with—it was herself!

Lin Tian widened her eyes in terror, instinctively opening her mouth…

The next second, the woman on the sofa preemptively screamed.

Lin Tian silently shut her mouth, took a step back, and gripped Gu Qingyin’s hand tightly.

Gu Qingyin patted her cold hand reassuringly, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” She turned her head and asked softly, “Did you give that Talisman to Lin Xian?”

Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly.

Inside the living room, Lin Xian looked at his sister with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Lin Tian” shook her head with a frightened expression, but her eyes glanced towards the door.

Lin Xian noticed and followed her gaze.

Seeing Gu Qingyin and another Lin Tian standing together, he was stunned. After two seconds, he rubbed his eyes hard. Looking up again, Lin Tian was still at the door, so who was this person beside him?

“Brother…”

Lin Xian snapped back to his senses, instinctively taking a step back, avoiding the hand that “Lin Tian” reached out.

“Lin Tian” immediately wore a hurt and frightened expression, “Brother?”

Lin Xian felt a little guilty and moved back again. Lin Tian usually wouldn’t call him “brother” unless she was really scared.

“Lin Tian” successfully grabbed Lin Xian’s arm. Lin Xian shivered from her cold hand, and then felt even more sorry for her. The poor kid was scared out of her mind.

Seeing this, Lin Tian at the door became extremely anxious, hiding behind Gu Qingyin and shouting, “Lin Xian, you idiot! You’ve been fooled!”

The “Lin Tian” inside didn’t speak, only holding Lin Xian’s arm a little tighter.

Lin Xian didn’t speak, his expression grim as he pondered.

After Lin Tian came back from Gu Qingyin’s place, she brought him a Talisman and told him that they were being targeted by a ghost.

Lin Xian never believed in ghosts and gods, only humoring Lin Tian with a few words. He didn’t say much upon learning that the three Talismans cost one million, as their family wasn’t rich, but they didn’t care about that little bit of money.

After that, Lin Tian, because she was scared, kept pulling him to sit in the living room, and neither of them had left.

So, the Lin Tian at the door was fake! As for Gu Qingyin… he couldn’t tell for sure whether she was real or fake, but if she really had the ability, she shouldn’t be unable to distinguish between a person and a ghost, right?

“Sister Qing, the Lin Tian beside you is fake,” Lin Xian reminded.

Gu Qingyin didn’t respond, silently leading Lin Tian into the living room.

The little girl behind her was so angry that her face turned red, “Are you blind! The one beside you is the fake one!”

Lin Xian remained unmoved. Of course, the fake one wouldn’t admit that she was fake, only trying hard to slander the real one as fake.

Gu Qingyin sized up the “Lin Tian” inside the room. Strangely, there was no Ghost Energy or Yin Energy at all, she looked like a normal human being, but the Lin Tian beside her was also very normal.

Gu Qingyin sighed inwardly, as expected of a Ghost Cultivator, truly extraordinary.

She glanced at the person behind her. If it was really a Ghost Cultivator disguised, then she really had to admire the Ghost Cultivator’s courage.

“I have a way to distinguish between the real and the fake you, dare to try?” Gu Qingyin asked in a faint tone.

“Dare!” The Lin Tian behind her responded loudly, staring at the person opposite her with a burning gaze, asking provocatively, “Do you dare?”

“Lin Tian” found it funny, “What wouldn’t I dare? Come on.”

Lin Xian felt that there was no need to distinguish, how could he mistake his own sister? But since the parties involved had agreed, there was no need for him to object.

“When Lin Tian came back from my place this afternoon, she brought back a Brocade Pouch,” Gu Qingyin said unhurriedly, “Take it out and let me see.”

“It’s here!” The Lin Tian behind her quickly took out the Brocade Pouch, humming at Lin Xian with dissatisfaction, “Being this blind, you can wait to be single for the rest of your life!”

Lin Xian became even more vigilant. This ghost seemed to have learned Lin Tian very well.

The next second, the “Lin Tian” beside him also took out a Brocade Pouch from her pocket.

The two Brocade Pouches were exactly the same, and there was no visible difference to the naked eye.

Lin Xian was very surprised that the ghost impersonating Lin Tian had even forged the Brocade Pouch, it was too meticulous.

“Send it over,” Gu Qingyin ordered in a soft voice.

“Lin Tian” hesitated, pretending to throw it, but Gu Qingyin stared at her and spoke again, “Send! It over.”

“Lin Tian” shrank back in fear. Lin Xian couldn’t bear it anymore, snatched the Brocade Pouch and sent it to Gu Qingyin, then quickly returned to “Lin Tian’s” side, shielding her behind him in a protective stance.

As soon as the two Brocade Pouches were in her hands, Gu Qingyin judged which was real and which was fake. The real Brocade Pouch had her Spiritual Power mark on it, and the one without the mark was the one that Lin Tian behind her gave her.

But Gu Qingyin didn’t easily make a judgment, because the Brocade Pouch was empty. It would be easy for a Ghost Cultivator to steal an empty Brocade Pouch.

Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows and asked, “Where’s the stuff inside?”

“Didn’t you say…” The Lin Tian behind her was about to open her mouth stupidly, but Gu Qingyin stopped her. She made another request, “I’ll say three, two, one, and you say it together. Whoever speaks slowly is the fake one.”

“Why?” Lin Xian was very puzzled, what did this have to do with the speed of answering?

Gu Qingyin looked serious, “The person who speaks slowly is copying the answer!”

The two Lin Tians looked at each other, holding their breath and preparing.

Gu Qingyin began to count, “One, two… three!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two Lin Tians spoke almost simultaneously.

“One was given to Lin Xian, and I’m carrying the other two on me.”

“One is in brother’s room, and the other two are on me.”

Because they spoke at the same time, the two voices were mixed together, a little messy, but it didn’t prevent them from understanding.

Lin Tian glared at Lin Xian, disappointed, “You didn’t even carry the Talisman on you!”

The other “Lin Tian” had a flash of annoyance in her eyes, but she quickly reacted, “I saw brother throw the Talisman in the room, so I didn’t dare to separate from him, I wanted to protect him.”

Lin Xian seemed to have lost his mind, shielding “Lin Tian” behind him with a touched expression, saying decisively, “With me here, no one can hurt my sister!”

Lin Tian couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Having you is truly my blessing!”
