The old and the young both had weak Body Light. In one, it had only just been born and had yet to grow strong; in the other, Blood Essence had waned, dimming its glow. Both could easily see things that most adults could not... So when Tang Changsheng made his move, he meant to cover the Flame on Arabella's shoulder.
But the moment he tried, Tang Changsheng knew something was wrong. He gave a cold snort and stepped back twice.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Tang Changsheng covered his nose with a rueful smile.
It seemed none of these top-tier girls, so well suited to becoming Cauldron Vessels, were easy to deal with.
Tang Changsheng had already seen that the families Arabella and Quintina came from were no ordinary ones. He just hadn't expected them to be quite this formidable.
They were beyond mere wealth. They had attained the status of true Noble Persons.
That made it much harder to let them see ghosts!
"The human body has three fires: one atop the head and one on each shoulder. The brighter those three fires burn, the better your fate. With the Flame protecting you, ghosts don't dare come near.
"So I only wanted to seal the Flame on your shoulders for a little while. Without it shielding and obscuring you, you would be able to see ghosts."
"But why did you just...?" Arabella asked, puzzled.
Tang Changsheng had no choice but to explain. "Unfortunately, Arabella, your standing seems rather extraordinary. The Flame on your shoulders is too strong. That means your family is immensely powerful and has bestowed an excellent fate on you..."
"In short, they blocked my spell. I even suffered a little backlash as the caster..."
The more Tang Changsheng said, the more frustrated he became. *Spells
