Chapter 296: Chapter 296 This Doesn’t Count as Lying Chapter 296: Chapter 296 This Doesn’t Count as Lying Scarlett Jennings inford the production crew, then left directly in Samuel Chalrs’ car.
No one saw Samuel Chalrs’ face clearly from beginning to end, so naturally, they didn’t know his identity, but from a distance, they saw the scene of the two standing together just now.
“This person… he wouldn’t be Scarlett’s boyfriend, would he?”
Ariel Zimrman watched the car drive away and then whispered gossip to a few nearby guests.
Amber Livingston suddenly widened her eyes with an old father’s deanor, “She’s only a few years old?! Impossible!”
Evander Simpson also found it unlikely, “People of the Mystical Sect, single-mindedly focused on the Way…”
Ariel Zimrman was dissatisfied, “Can’t people from the Mystical Sect fall in love? What’s the logic?”
Ianthe Lawson also softly expressed agreent, “Master Jennings is eighteen this year, so it’s normal to fall in love.”
As they discussed, they each got into the cars arranged by the production crew, not noticing a staff mber quietly turning off the cara and carefully hiding their phone behind them.
…
On the other side, Samuel Chalrs took Scarlett Jennings directly to a private room in a nearby restaurant.
Originally, he wanted to take her directly back to the hotel, but considering the impact of going to a hotel room together might not be good for her, he changed the location.
Upon entering the private room, Scarlett Jennings gently placed the Yellow Paper Lantern into Samuel Chalrs’ palm.
The strands of Resentful Energy within the lantern dissipated instantly upon touching the Golden Light in Samuel Chalrs’ palm.
The next second, the Big Ghost sprang out of the Yellow Talisman Lantern.
Originally, with her century-long cultivation, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t confine her in just one Yellow Talisman Lantern, but she’d stayed inside peacefully due to their previous agreent.
Now that the surrounding Resentful Energy was gone, the Big Ghost simply manifested herself in front of Samuel Chalrs.
Seeing Samuel Chalrs’ form, the Big Ghost’s eyes widened with obvious amazent.
“This young man… No, young lady.”
The Big Ghost spoke initially, then realized her mistake, quickly correcting herself before waving her hand, instantly changing her attire from a man’s outfit to a woman’s dress.
Her originally spirited features suddenly softened.
She gracefully bowed to Samuel Chalrs,
“This young woman, Sophie Harper, greets you, sir.”
Her voice intentionally maintained a feminine tone but was awkward due to unfamiliarity.
Not to ntion Samuel Chalrs, even Scarlett Jennings felt a headache watching this.
Seeing the Big Ghost’s reaction, a sense of foreboding filled Scarlett Jennings’ heart.
Indeed, the next second, she heard her say,
“Master, I don’t want to be a formal Ghost Cultivator anymore; I want to be this gentleman’s Ghost Servant! Just consider it a repaynt of his great kindness.”
She spoke lightly, the whole ghost eagerly moving toward Samuel Chalrs.
Scarlett Jennings knew this would happen, so she stepped in front decisively, holding a Thunder Talisman in her hand, full of threatening tone,
“Stand back.”
Sophie Harper was sowhat afraid of the Thunder Talisman in her hand, mainly not wanting to fight her, yet she still looked at her with longing,
“Master, I can make a contract with this gentleman.”
Compared to being a Ghost Cultivator, she preferred following this gentleman.
Scarlett Jennings rolled her eyes at this.
“Is this a matter of making a contract?”
Many have wanted to make contracts with big figures like him.
Even Dashiell could only barely manage to stay after much hardship, and she’s just a re Big Ghost, dreaming of impossible things.
“This is not soone you can provoke. If you don’t want to be scattered, behave yourself.”
Scarlett Jennings was not afraid of Sophie Harper, even a bit fierce.
Samuel Chalrs stood expressionless, silently raising an eyebrow at her tone.
After all, Scarlett Jennings only showed a cold deanor towards the Garrison Family and those who troubled her, remaining relatively docile in front of him and Donovan Jennings.
He didn’t expect such a rich emotion when she confronted these ghostly beings.
Sophie Harper gazed longingly at Samuel Chalrs, naturally noticing his eyebrow raise when looking at Scarlett Jennings, then looked at the fierce protective Scarlett Jennings in front, inexplicably, she seed to suddenly understand sothing,
“So… that’s it.”
Sophie Harper had a flash of understanding, “This gentleman, could he be the master’s Taoist couple?”
As Sophie Harper said this, both Samuel Chalrs and Scarlett Jennings were taken aback.
The term Taoist couple was unfamiliar, but it didn’t hinder their understanding.
Scarlett Jennings opened her mouth to explain, but Sophie Harper spoke for herself, “So it’s like this, no wonder.”
Saying this, she made another gesture of respect towards Scarlett Jennings, with a tone both regretful and sincere,
“It was presumptuous of , master, I should not covet your Taoist couple.”
Having been raised as a male before and focusing solely on avenging the Harper Family’s destruction for a hundred years, it was rare to see a man that amazed her at first glance. It shouldn’t be a big deal to feel a little moved, right?
Though she was a Big Ghost, she also had ethics and couldn’t bring herself to covet soone else’s Taoist couple.
Scarlett Jennings twitched her lips, wanting to explain, but the words stopped halfway again.
Forget it, explaining now would just give this Big Ghost another reason to pester Samuel Chalrs.
Having one Dashiell pestering her was tiring enough; if another Big Ghost joined, Samuel Chalrs would likely be annoyed to death by her, and might even avoid her altogether in the future.
Thinking of this, Scarlett Jennings acquiesced to Sophie Harper’s statent,
“Ahem, good that you know.”
“I will now help you register Ghost Energy to beco a Ghost Cultivator. In the future, focus on your cultivation and do not harm any humans.”
She spoke earnestly, unaware that behind her, Samuel Chalrs’ deep black eyes shifted slightly upon hearing her response.
Even his gaze at her carried a hint of profound depth.
Sophie Harper noticed but, considering their relationship, didn’t think much of it.
Sensing the aura from Samuel Chalrs, Sophie Harper still felt unwilling,
“Master, I promise I won’t covet this gentleman, but could I… beco his Ghost Servant?”
Compared to being just a regular Ghost Cultivator, she felt staying by this gentleman’s side would allow her cultivation to progress more rapidly.
Faced with such a request, Scarlett Jennings naturally flatly refused,
“No way, don’t even think about it.”
Sophie Harper sighed softly and obediently registered again.
Samuel Chalrs listened to her rare firm tone, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curling into a slight arc.
Once successfully registering the Ghost Cultivator identity for her, Sophie Harper didn’t cling any longer and vanished from the spot sowhat reluctantly.
Until sure she had left, Scarlett Jennings finally breathed a sigh of relief, turning to see Samuel Chalrs watching her.
Suddenly rembering before, she quickly explained to him,
“I said that just now because I didn’t want her to keep bothering you.”
Samuel Chalrs looked at her, responding after a while, “Hmm, I know.”
Scarlett Jennings felt secretly relieved.
What she didn’t tell him was that ordinary people couldn’t lie to ghosts and spirits because they could easily see through lies.
The reason Sophie Harper didn’t suspect just now was because there was indeed an unbroken marriage agreent layer between Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs.
A fiancé could be considered a Taoist couple.
Hmm, that’s not lying.
