Chapter 472: House Fight Turns into Thriller 11
Since the ghost girl was subdued by Liu Hui and brought back to the Liu Mansion, the atmosphere of the mansion has quietly changed. Whenever Liu Hui and the ghost girl appear in front of everyone, the family members and servants who once looked down on Liu Hui or had ill will towards her all look at her with surprise and fear. In their eyes, there is both shock at Liu Hui's extraordinary means and deep fear of this mysterious ghost girl.
As Liu Hui walked through the mansion, she could clearly feel the distance and respect that people around her kept. Those who had tried to make trouble and gossip in front of her were now silent, fearing that they would accidentally anger this "wonderful woman" who could subdue female ghosts.
However, beneath the surface of calm, there are undercurrents. Lord Liu, the head of the family who has always been known for his majesty and wisdom, has mixed emotions about Liu Hui's series of actions. He is proud of his daughter's outstanding performance, but also a little uneasy about the power she has shown. After all, a person who can easily subdue a female ghost is both a strong backing for the family and a variable that is difficult to control.
One evening, Lord Liu summoned his trusted advisers and walked into the study together. In the study, the flickering candlelight illuminated his furrowed brows and deep eyes.
"Everyone, I have called you here today to discuss something important." Lord Liu spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible heaviness in his voice, "What do you think about Hui'er's taming of the female ghost?"
Upon hearing this, the counselors exchanged glances. It was obvious that this question had been lingering in their minds for a long time.
"My Lord, the young lady's move has undoubtedly added a powerful force to the family." An elderly counselor spoke first, "The power of the female ghost is extraordinary. The young lady was able to subdue it, which shows that she is extraordinary."
"That being said, we must also be alert to the possible risks." Another counselor added, "The nature of a female ghost is unpredictable. If she rebels one day or is used by outsiders, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lord Liu nodded and agreed: "I also know this. Although Hui'er is strong, she is young after all. She lacks sufficient experience in the wickedness of human hearts and the complexity of the world. I am worried that this female ghost will become a stumbling block on her path to growth."
"So what does the Marquis mean..." an adviser asked tentatively.
"I want to observe secretly to see if I can find a way to completely control the female ghost, or find a foolproof plan that can ensure Hui'er's safety and allow the female ghost to be used by the family." Lord Liu's eyes were firm, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination.
Upon hearing this, the counselors nodded in agreement, began to express their opinions, and discussed the specific implementation plan.
On the other hand, Liu Hui knew nothing about the secret plan of her father and his advisers. She was fully devoted to the taming and teaching of the female ghost, trying to make this former "evil spirit" truly integrate into human society.
Under Liu Hui's patient teaching, the ghost girl gradually learned human etiquette and emotions. She began to know how to be grateful and cherish. Whenever she saw Liu Hui busying herself for her, a warm current would surge in the ghost girl's heart, a warmth she had never experienced before.
"Thank you, Hui'er." The ghost said to Liu Hui affectionately during a late-night conversation, "I never thought that I would have the chance to become a real person. It was you who gave me this opportunity and gave me the courage to start over."
Hearing this, Liu Hui smiled slightly, with a gentle light in her eyes: "Everyone has their own past. What matters is whether we can learn from it and bravely move towards the future. You have done very well. I believe that you will become an outstanding 'person'."
The ghost nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that she was no longer the ghost who only brought fear and disaster. With Liu Hui's help, she found a new goal and meaning.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, the mansion was suddenly attacked by a group of unidentified men in black. They were highly skilled in martial arts and had clear goals, and they were obviously coming for a secret of the mansion.
In the melee, Liu Hui and the female ghost fought side by side to resist the attack of the man in black. The female ghost showed amazing fighting power, her figure shuttled between the enemies like a ghost, and defeated one opponent after another with lightning speed.
Liu Hui relied on her profound inner strength and superb swordsmanship to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy. Her swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and every move and every form revealed her deep understanding of martial arts and superb skills.
With the joint efforts of the two, the man in black was finally repelled. However, this battle also made Lord Liu more deeply aware of the power and potential danger of the female ghost.
After the war, Lord Liu summoned his advisers to discuss matters again. This time, his face was full of solemnity and worry.
"Everyone, you all saw today's battle." Lord Liu spoke slowly, "The power of the female ghost is indeed extraordinary. Although she is currently loyal to Hui'er, if she has other thoughts one day, or is used by outsiders, the consequences will be disastrous."
Upon hearing this, the counselors all nodded in agreement. They knew very well that Lord Liu's concerns were not groundless.
"My lord, what should we do?" asked a counselor.
Lord Liu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I want to devise a plan to test the ghost girl's heart. If she truly surrenders, I will reward her generously; if she has other ideas, I will also be prepared."
The counselors nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that this was the safest approach at the moment.
So Lord Liu began to secretly lay out his plan. He ordered people to secretly monitor the ghost girl's every move, and at the same time arranged a seemingly ordinary banquet, inviting the ghost girl and Liu Hui to attend.
At the banquet, Lord Liu deliberately showed great enthusiasm and appreciation for the ghost girl, and even personally poured wine and served food for her. Seeing this, the ghost girl was a little confused, but more moved and grateful. She knew that Lord Liu was trying to accept her and let her truly integrate into the family.
However, just as the banquet reached its climax, a servant suddenly rushed in and reported in a panic that a group of suspicious people were found outside the mansion. Upon hearing this, Lord Liu's face changed and he immediately ordered people to go and check.
Just as everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Lord Liu suddenly said to the female ghost: "You stay here and protect Hui'er. If anyone dares to trespass here, kill them without mercy!"
The ghost girl was shocked when she heard this. She knew that Lord Liu was testing her. But she also knew that her loyalty and courage were unquestionable. So she nodded firmly, indicating that she was willing to stay.
Liu Hui looked at the ghost's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that she had not misjudged her. Although the ghost was once a terrifying evil spirit, she had a kind and brave heart.
Shortly after everyone left, a group of men in black broke into the mansion. They headed straight for the banquet hall, obviously wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to harm Liu Hui. However, when they saw the fierce eyes of the female ghost and the long sword in her hand, they couldn't help but stop.
