Wang Liu glanced at the pretty young man in particular after his greetings. He noticed that Xue Hua was also staring at him. Of course, it wasn't the kind that is caused by attraction but instead observing something on him which made him uncomfortable. He was thinking that something was attached to him again. Just thinking of that Ghost Lady General from before that caused his coma for almost a week, he couldn't help but shiver just thinking about it. His Second and Third brothers told him that if he had indeed continued sleeping for a week, he could have never woken up ever again.

Of course, Xue Hua's stares are so rare that even Yan Ke and Su Wan noticed it. They've also thought the same thing as their elder brother.

Yan Ke asked worriedly, "Young Ancestor, is our big brother alright?"

Xue Hua averted his eyes and looked at the two Celestial Masters, Shen Ling and Xie Ye, they were a bit confused about what's wrong with Wang Liu and the little one's eyes were asking why they didn't tell him? In the end, both thoughts had gone through.

"I guess he should be okay now but..." replied Xue Hua but suddenly swallowed his words.

Yan Ke, hearing this tone, asked promptly, "But? But what?"

Xue Hua smiled faintly but no longer explained things further. Meanwhile, Master Yi and Master Ling also observed Wang Liu. They were still a bit confused about what's wrong with the little one. But seeing the Yin energy that was left behind the Female General ghost lingering on the man, they finally understood. After being possessed by the ghostly being the Yin energy was left in Wang Liu's body and would most likely lose several years of life as an aftereffect of it.

Though the Ghost General Lady had returned a bit of Wang Liu's life energy, this energy was only enough to wake him up. What was taken cannot come back perfectly like before. Moreover, all three brothers were affected due to the Yin energy that entered their Yang body when they visited that haunted tomb.

Master Ling mumbled, "Oh~ I finally understand what the brat means."

"Hmm~ but with the looks of it. It doesn't matter much though. It's just a few years anyway~" commented Master Yi.

Wang Liu finally panicked when he heard the word years for some reason this word made him uncomfortable.

"Y-Young Ancestor! Forgive this one's rudeness but... is there something wrong with me? Am I suffering some aftereffects of something?!" asked Wang Liu.

Hearing the query Xue Hua chuckled and said, "You are pretty observant. I've just looked at you for a short time and you've already thought of the aftereffects. But the question is, are you sure you want to know?"

Wang Liu and the rest nod their heads, though there is some blush on their face hearing the melodic laugh of the beauty before them. This is a normal reaction, seeing a smiling beauty is still nice to see and Xue Hua's phoenix-shaped eyes were bewitching by nature.

Seeing the Young Ancestor's reaction like this, just made the three brother's curiosity fueled even more, "Yes. Yes, please tell us ba~"

Xue Hua reached out his hand with graceful movements and picked a custard-flavored donut from the box and happily bit on it. Once he finished half of the donut, he finally continued speaking.

"It is not really a big deal but a couple of days when you are possessed, your body was tainted too much by Yin energy, so you are going to lose a few years of your life. The three of you actually. Su Wan is luckier as he only loses at most 5 days. The second brother Yan Ke lost at least 3 months." explained Xue Hua.

As his words were spoken Su Wan and Yan Ke's faces turned gloomy, they never expected their lifespan to be affected after getting close to ghosts. They are ordinary human beings after all they weren't like Xue Hua who had the golden aura of merits to protect him from the Yin energy and just the fact that he isn't originally mortal this concept does not affect him much. Celestial Masters are also not affected by this, due to their cultivation, they are able to live for a bit longer duration than mortals. So losing a few years of their lifespan didn't really matter to them.
