Wei Wei had always been cautious, never letting the Scholar know she wasn't human.
But there are indeed skilled people in the human world.
When the Scholar went out to buy things, a wandering Taoist stopped him and told him that his face was turning dark, likely due to being haunted by Ghosts and Goblins.
Naturally, the Scholar didn't believe in these things, but the Taoist's words were convincing, and he started to waver.
Using the method taught by the Taoist, he tried it out, and it was startling—the Scholar nearly fainted on the spot.
But he managed to hold on, didn't even ask for confirmation, and rushed out the door to find the Taoist, asking for his help to deal with the Female Ghost in his house.
He never mentioned the affection he shared with Wei Wei during those days, only insisted that the Female Ghost surely came to take his life.
