"I wish... If you have known about the spirit owner's, then you might also know that not everyone can be the spirit owner, they are born with special powers, unlike us where, every descendant has equal chances of inheriting the dark inn. Because of this very reason, the old spirit owner starts becoming weak when the next owner is born. Unlike us who can change the owner every generation or whenever wanted or needed, the spirit owners are changed every two or sometimes three generations. It is very difficult to weaken them for a small mistake. There are many more things that you will learn as you progress. You both should be careful, avoid if you can or bow down if you can't." Father Gu spoke with sadness evident in his eyes.
"Got it father." Spoke both brothers unanimously.

Early morning,
Getting up from the bed, Tian Tian noticed that she was again late for school which was actually nothing out of the blue, quickly showering and grabbing a bread toast she left her house with messy hairs, comb in one hand, hair tie wrapped on her wrist and a glass of milk in another hand.
Quickly locking the door, she ran and stuck her foot in the nearly closing lift.
'Oh, someone new in the building, looks like a beauty... Only if his face would be clearly visible.' Thought Tian Tian while entering the lift and apologizing.
'I apologized, can't he just at least acknowledge, how rude. Huh... Rude people are not beauty.' Thinking so she started eating the bread and drinking the milk from the glass in her hand.
Walking towards her car, she opened and sat on the back seat while telling the driver to drive her to school.
Looking at Tian Tian through the mirror the driver murmured while sighing, "Young miss, can you get up early for one day at least?"
Giggling she answered, "Oh come on Uncle Bai, if I get up early, how will I utilize the time while traveling, in fact, I am the smartest." saying so she started combing her messy hairs and tied them into a high ponytail, then she started applying her favorite lip balm.

Inside the classroom,
Tian Tian was sitting on her desk while trying to skim through the topics and remember as much as she can.
Slapping her back Si Tu Mo spoke, "Don't worry, there will be no test today as…"
Closing her ear's she kept on studying without paying any attention to her best friend's words.
Noticing that Tian Tian was ignoring her, Si Tu Mo snatched the book that she was reading and forcefully removed her hands from her ears while again saying, "There's no test today."
Snapping at her Tian Tian tried to grab her book back while saying, "Don't speak nonsense. There is a test today. I remember clearly."
Raising the book higher, Si Tu Mo said in a low voice as if telling a secret, " I heard from my dad that a new student is joining and today will be his first day so the test has been canceled."
"New student? We are almost halfway through the semester, how can anyone join at this point? Your dad surely was joking... Hehe... Fool MOMO." Teasing her Tian tian grabbed her book and started reading again.
Before Si Tu Mo could speak and explain that she was not lying the professor Mi entered along with a new boy.
"Good morning class, we have a new student joining our class from today." Spoke the professor
Raising her head from the book Tian Tian looked at the professor and then at the boy who was supposed to join their class. Pinching her from the back Si Tu Mo teased her for neglecting her advice.
Not paying any attention to her best friend, she was busy looking at the boy who was standing beside professor Mi. 'Why does he look so similar?' Thought Tian Tian while scratching her head.
"Hello everyone, I am Gu Shen. I have just transferred, please take care of me." Gu Shen introduced himself.
"Okay, Gu Shen you can take the empty seat next to Tian Tian. Tian Tian, Gu Shen has been a ranker all along. With him, sitting beside you will give you more opportunity to study. So study well and use this opportunity well." Professor Mi explained and gestured Gu Shen to take his seat beside Tian Tian.
Looking at the new boy coming towards herself, she remembered and quickly asked him in a low voice as he sat on the seat beside her, "Hey, aren't you the one in the lift, in the morning?"
Looking at him not paying any attention to her Tian Tian just said nonchalantly to vent her thoughts, "I had already apologized to you. Some people should be thought that not replying is kind of rude."
'If this girl could stop talking and distracting me, I could focus on the energy that I feel over here.' Thought Gu Shen and tried to focus his energy to find out the source of energy.
Since the moment he came he had a weird feeling surrounding him. It was a very new feeling for him, not that he had never dealt with ghosts but this energy that he was feeling was kind of different.
Gu Shen was constantly closing his eyes to gather his powers and then opening his eyes and scanning the room to search for spirits or the energy source. But the only thing that he was able to see was humans and nothing else.
Tian Tian was sitting near the window which gives her better access to the garden, while Gu Shen was sitting beside her on the joint chair.
After everyone settled down, professor Mi informed everyone, "The test today will be postponed to next week. I hope everyone can utilize this extra time to study much well and get higher marks than their expected score."
Hearing that the weekly test was postponed everyone in the class was happy and jumped in joy. Tian Tian also looked back and gave a hug to her best friend who did make an attempt to inform her.
Teacher Mi started teaching after the class calmed down, while Tian Tian began to daydream, along with focusing on the class a little bit as usual.
Tian Tian was an especially bright child since her birth, even though she used to see ghosts and talk to them, she was never of those people who were scared of ghosts or supernatural things, like her grandmother's older sister.She grew up by hearing the stories of her grandmother's older sister who was the owner of the house of spirits before her for forty years. She had heard that she was so scared of seeing those creatures that she had stopped going out of her house when she was just three years old. All of her studies had been taken care of by private tutors and later she did not continue her studies.It took a very long time to make her realize her responsibilities and hand over to them. When she was crowned as the Queen many people thought that she won't be able to handle the position and would make wrong decisions, but the owner had the time and again proven that the owner of the spirit house is chosen from birth and they are bound to contribute to it with
Tian Tian closed her eyes and focused all of her powers to classify the energy she was feeling. Though the energy was weak but she was sure it was there.Opening her eyes Tian Tian murmured, "It's a sad energy. Let's check who it is?"Getting down from the car Tshe said to the driver, "Uncle, I am just walking around. Please wait for me in the car."Walking towards the forest which was not dense Tian Tian followed the energy source. Trying to find the exact location she slowly reached a small lake. Looking around it she thought, 'This place looks quite isolated and calm, but I feel the energy quite strongly over here. Where is the spirit?'Tian Tian started looking around the lake to find out the spirit which was hiding. She circled around the lake, saw around and near the trees but it was of no use. Even after searching for the spirit for almost more than ten minutes when she did not found her, for a second she thought of going back.Just when she
After the school was over Gu Shen wanted to follow Tian Tian to check and find out a little more about the reason he felt such strong energy.Unfortunately, before he could do so he was called in the principal's office for discussion.Knocking the office door Gu Shen entered when he received the permission and sat down on the chair after been allowed to do so by the principal.Passing Gu Shen a list of some students the principal spoke, "Whenever a new student transfers from another school to our school he has to take some extra classes so we can access his study level. Considering your marks from the last school I tried to ask everyone to consider you as a special case and most of them agreed as well. But there needs to be something done by you to get those lost credits. All of the teachers have collectively decided for you to help any of your fellow or junior student in studies and depending on the student's performance we will give you credit. The list that I
After asking assistant Zhang to be careful around the magician, Tian Tian looked at the video that she had just downloaded a couple of minutes ago about the magician Hop.Sitting at her chair she played the video on her computer screen with full voice. The spirit house was made in a way that it was fully sound proof.In the video the magician appeared on the stage and started introducing himself and the tricks that he was about to play on the specific show.The show started with him doing simple magic such as taking out a rose from his empty hat, turning the paper into a string of flowers, swallowing up the sword and so on just basic magic,, nothing too significant.Following which a small performance by clowns and animals were made and then it was the time for the last performance, usually the last performance is the spectacular one in all of his shows.The stage was entirely dark, soon red light's started shining on the stage and on the audience.
Looking at his boss having such a pitiful face Assistant Zhang spoke while trying to help in something, "Boss, can I help you with something?"Looking at the assistant who was asking her if she needed help Tian Tian just shook her head in a dejected motion saying, "Assistant Zhang, you can help me with everything... but my mother!"Sigh.Taking a deep breath Tian Tian got up and started packing her stuff while instructing,"I will go for now. You can try to gather the information on the magician Hop, but make sure to use the human powers while going close to him. I have a hunch that he is someone, who we cannot afford to mess with at this time. We will have to be careful.""Make sure that Kim Mi So is treated and ask Han Qing to try and talk with her so we can know why was she killed or anything that can help us to help her. You know right, she has limited time, though I am sure that her body won't be discovered too soon, still let's act as fast as
"Dad, I can feel weird but strong energy from a person over here. I tried hard to find out the reason for it but even after trying for a long time, I was unable to do so. I am even unable to see through the person's soul. Though the energy is strong, it doesn't look malicious. But I am scared, what if my thinking goes wrong, so I thought of consulting with you." Explained Gu Shen what he felt and what was his thoughts on the matter.Thinking for some time Mr. Gu asked him if he tried to go close to that person and feel the energy again as sometimes there are chances that when Viewed from a distance, the energy gets diverted and sometimes it might seem as if being emitted by someone else instead of the actual source.Hearing that Gu Shen had already done what he was suggesting made Mr. Gu think even more about it. As a king, they are blessed with extra powers than any other normal person. In such a case when they cannot see through a soul, it makes their work much tough
Taking the notebook closer to herself, she solved the question and passed it to Gu Shen while explaining, "For the first year he will earn 14 dollars, making the principal amount as 114 dollars for the second year. similarly, in the second year, he will earn 15.96, increasing the principal amount to 129.96 dollars. This way at the end of the fifth year total amount which he will get back is 192.5 dollars and the total interest he earns will be 92$."Looking at the notebook which had the question solved Gu Shen smiled gently making Tian Tian's heart flutter. Unaware of why she felt proud Tian Tian simply blushed while Gu Shen kept looking at the book."Impressive, indeed you know the basics very well. Let's solve a couple of more questions and then we will call it a day." Saying Gu Shen started to write another set of questions in the notebook while she kept looking at him.Even though they were meeting for the third time, it was right now that Tian
Sitting on the couch Tian Tian and Gu Shen were waiting for assistant Zhang to speak about what information he gathered."As guided by the boss, I went to the magician's place and-" assistant Zhang's face distorted while he was speaking and his face showed a little confused expression on how he should speak.Noticing assistant Zhang fidgeting with his hands and hesitating about disclosing the information, she knew that he was reconsidering about disclosing what he feels and about what he saw."Assistant Zhang, In order to solve this case, we barely have half a month. Do you want any innocent to lost his last chance simply because of your mistake?" Asked Tian Tian while she folded her legs one over another and tilted her head while raising her eyebrows showing a questioning look.Bowing his head assistant Zhang apologized and explained everything, "I apologize boss. When I went there as a human, I noticed that the place had very strong spirit
The moment old lady spoke those words, a smooth and innocent laughter was heard. This laughter was scary. The old lady’s legs trembled and almost gave up. If not for her stick supporting her she would have already been kissing the ground. "You… Why are you laughing? " The old lady questioned in a trembling voice. This was never good. In fact, whenever she would come out to talk it was never good let alone laughing. Tian Tian was a really important person and most importantly everything right now had happened so abruptly that non
The moment Gu Shen noticed that bright red liquid on his palms his whole facial expression instantly changed.As compared to the smile, relief and mischievousness his face was now clad in darkness and seriousness. He quickly flipped all the clothes on the ground and spread them around.Kneeling down he kept his left hand which was stained with red aside and used only his right hand to look it through the clothes.
On the breakfast table, Gu Shen simply stir fried some frozen dumplings and prepared some orange juice. Apart from that, he also made a plate of fruit and added some veggies to it. A cup of coffee was kept in front of both of them.Even though it seemed like it was nowhere close to breakfast or a hearty breakfast, this was more than enough for both of them who had been tired.
Gu Shen and Tian Tian did not speak anything. She neither said yes nor did she say no. confusion was clearly seen on her face.Gu Shen suddenly frowned.He wondered if living with him was such a big deal for her, where as she had just shared a hotel room with him even though it was separate rooms.Was he such a terrible person in front of her?His hands suddenly clenched into a fist as it dropped from her shoulder.Tian Tian was still busy in wondering, if she would be disturbing Gu Shen with her weird
After Gu Shen and Tian Tian caught the spirit, Tian Tian picked it up in her hands and spoke some words following which she started crushing the big shell in between both of her palms. In no time, the shell had now shrunk into the size of a small tablet. Taking out a small box from her pocket Tian Tian carefully placed the shell into the depression which already was present in the box and secured it firmly with a small belt already attached on the box.
Tian Tian felt excited and almost jumped when she saw that due to Gu Shen's help she was able to catch the spirit. No one else except her knew that how much she would be feeling sad and guilty if she was unable to help out anyone even after seeing the miserable state of everyone.

Since the maze was already broken, it didn't take long for Gu Shen and Tian Tian to find the door. It in fact did not go inside with the map but it was still there. "Let's open it! " Gu Shen spoke while waiting for Tian Tian to answer.
After having an eye contact with Gu Shen Tian Tian winked towards him following which she turned towards the tiger painting hanging on the wall.A gentle and mischievous smile sat on her lips and her eyes started gleaming with brightness. Folding both of her hands behind at her waist Tian Tian started decreasing the dista
