Ning Shu said with a smile, “Of course.”


  Since there was money up for grabs, why let the opportunity slip?

  Xie Yiyuan’s appearance relaxed a lot, and he cheerfully said to Ning Shu, “I hope you can take care of the workers’ food. I’ll give you the food money.”


  “Alright.” Ning Shu nodded.

  “By the way, do you have any talismans on you? I want to buy some,” asked Xie Yiyuan.

  Ning Shu took out two talisman papers from her cloth bag. “Twenty-five hundred.”


  Xie Yiyuan paid the money readily, not bargaining at all, and asked again, “Is there anything that can allow people to see ghosts? I just want to see if there are any ghosts haunting the company’s employees.”


  “Song Ruoxi’s case was very rare.” Ning Shu frowned and said, “Seeing ghosts frequently is not a good thing; you better not take the initiative.”


  They weren’t living on the same plane, so you couldn’t peek too often.

  Xie Yiyuan scratched his head. “Actually, I just want to see if there’s anything unclean around a girl.”


  Ning Shu glanced at Xie Yiyuan. “You have a girlfriend again?”


  Another love at first sight, a woman to spend the rest of his life with at second sight?

  Xie Yiyuan said, “No, it’s an arranged marriage, but I’m honestly a little scared.”


  Ning Shu gave Xie Yiyuan a bottle of cow’s eye tears and a talisman, saying, “Put the talisman on your body and smear the cow’s eye tears on your eyelids. You can only look at night. After seeing it, wipe away the cow’s eye tears. Got it?”


  “Five thousand.” Ning Shu extended her hand.

  Xie Yiyuan helplessly gave the money, got into the car parked on the side, and waved his hand at Ning Shu. Ning Shu turned back to the Daoist temple and saw the old man directing the construction workers.

  The old man quickly asked Ning Shu, “What did that kid say?”


  Ning Shu said, “He was just here to ask for items. He’s getting married, so he was afraid of having that kind of thing around his wife.”


  “Oh, he’s getting married.” The old man laughed at once, looking. relieved

  Instead of demolishing the temple completely, the old man had the builders renovate it.

  In the spirit of not at all feeling distressed since he wasn’t spending his own money, the old man fully renovated the foyer and installed new floor tiles.

  “Well, the firewood won’t get damp now,” said the old man while stroking his beard.

  Ning Shu: ……

  Ning Shu enjoyed a comfortable and carefree life. She would practice exorcisms when she had jobs and teach her brothers and sisters in the Daoist temple when she didn’t.

  One day, the old man went to the village chief’s house and received a phone call saying that Martial Uncle Ge had overturned his car on the way back and that he was still in the hospital.

  The old man gloated in his misfortune. “Just as I said, the Phantom King Core isn’t that easy to get. It’s a rare treasure to ghosts, just like the longevity pill. This thing would cause a riot if it came out. He really thought that he could hold on to this hot potato? Serves him right.”


  Although the old man didn’t hold back in his scolding, Ning Shu could still see that he looked a little worried.

  Ning Shu said to the old man, “Master, why don’t we go see Martial Uncle Ge?”


  “Well, let’s go see if he’s dead. If he is, I’ll have to send him flowers,” said the old man.

  Ning Shu headed back to the house to pack her things, ready to accompany the old man. She was a little worried about him going alone.

  Her master was old. What if he got beaten up as a scammer on the way?

  When Ning Shu and the old man arrived at the hospital, they discovered that Martial Uncle Ge was just a little injured, it was not at all life-threatening. The old man was a bit disappointed and said, “I thought something actually happened to you.”


  Martial Uncle Ge ignored the old man’s sarcasm and said, “The Phantom King Core is missing.”


  “I told you so. As if something like the Phantom King Core would rot in your hands.” The old man rolled his eyes.

  Martial Uncle Ge looked full of worry and said, “If it landed in the hands of a ghost, wouldn’t it create another powerful phantom king?”
