Chapter 365 Heavenly Master 72
On this day, Situ Shuangshuang’s main task was to visit the jade market to buy a piece of jade. Of course, what Situ Shuangshuang wanted to buy was not high-quality jade, but "dead jade." In the Heavenly Master’s jargon, dead jade actually referred to very low-quality mixed jade!
Since Ding Yue and her two friends were terrified, the three of them clung together in the dormitory, still scared. Although Situ Shuangshuang took a day off, she still planned to return to the dorm at night to give those three girls some courage. It must be said, these three girls were surprisingly well-behaved.
All three came from good families, but they weren’t spoiled at all; they could handle everything on their own. Even after the fierce ghost scare, they didn’t think about taking time off to rest. They simply told the teacher they had sore throats to avoid answering questions and continued to study hard. They were extremely attentive regarding Situ Shuangshuang’s matters. Before Situ Shuangshuang could act, the three girls had already helped her, and nothing Situ Shuangshuang said could change their minds.
Talking about this incident, Qin Fang and Jiang Zhaodi were involved due to Ding Yue and thus were frightened. Remarkably, these two girls bore no grudge against Ding Yue afterwards, even comforting the self-reproaching Ding Yue for half a day, filling up half a notebook!
These three girls were naturally disciplined and loved studying — otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so anxious about exams. Ultimately, their motivation for playing the plate fairy game was rooted in their adolescent curiosity and slight rebelliousness. Besides, deep down, they didn’t truly believe in ghosts and gods, so they played the game.
Before being choked by the fierce ghost, the plate fairy game, in their minds, was akin to playing a fortune-telling card game. But because plate fairy related to ghosts, it had a creepy and mysteriously chilling element, making it more thrilling.
Mixed jade was everywhere, and it was cheap. The only thing Situ Shuangshuang needed to ensure was that the mixed jade she chose was indeed real and not synthetic. Situ Shuangshuang quickly bought what she needed and returned to school before nightfall.
At night, Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi sat together to review their studies. When they got tired, they watched with curiosity as Situ Shuangshuang carved the mixed jade with a chisel. Their faces were full of admiration, thinking Situ Shuangshuang was truly amazing — a study god, ghost catcher, and now a skilled carver! Truly versatile!
In reality, what Situ Shuangshuang was carving was particularly simple: it was just a palm-sized jade grinding plate, which didn’t require much technical skill. But Ding Yue and her friends, with rose-tinted glasses of admiration, saw everything she did as marvelous!
Situ Shuangshuang created this small jade grinding plate to grind the ghost. It was meant for the fierce ghost. To avoid scaring Ding Yue and her friends, she waited until they were asleep, pasted a sleep charm on each of them, and then dealt with the fierce ghost issue.
