At that moment, Huang Qín's face turned pale, and a faint white mist began to emanate from his body, seeping into the monster ghost's body.
The longer a ghost possesses someone, the more the person's yang energy is subtly drawn away by the ghost.
The sick ghost's body lightly floated away from Huang Qín.
Huang Qín snapped awake, her eyes wide with fear as she stared at me. Her lips trembled, but she dared not utter a sound. She only clenched the hem of her clothes, her expression growing more timid.
"Tomorrow, you find Tang Quan and have her give you some money. It will be payment for your husband passing on the message to me," I said calmly.
Huang Qín's large face was flushed with joy, and she nodded repeatedly, thanking me continuously.
"Come on." I added once more.
She just turned around and hurriedly walked towards her house.
The sick ghost's body drifted along behind Huang Qín.
I stood still at the doorway, pondering in my heart for a long time before I walked straight towards the outskirts of the city village.
It's a blessing in disguise, and one must deal with it.
Old Gong, I'm certain that I can't turn a blind eye to this.
Sun Zhuo and the Xu family are closely connected, but I believe that Immortal Mingjing is unlikely to be there.
Four Regulations Mountain upholds its face, as does Immortal Mingjing, which is why he made the decision to protect Sun Zhuo.
If he ambushes me at the Xu family, his face would be saved.
It is possible that people from Guǐkān were there.
Moreover, the Xu family itself has a person with formidable strength.
That should also be someone from Guǐkān?
Yu Xiu was previously injured because he was first immobilized, which allowed the copper arrow to penetrate his shoulder.
Without that ghost with eyes all over its head holding him back, Yu Xiu should be able to protect me.
Not long after, I reached the roadside.
While flagging down the car, I also contacted the leader again.
Although the leader is preparing to enter Qiyema Village, I can't really go to Xu's family alone under these circumstances.
I roughly explained my current situation to the leader and asked him to dispatch a certain number of people to wait for me outside Xu's family.
The leader made a quick decision, assuring me that he would send people immediately.
As I hung up the phone, a car stopped right in front of me.
After getting on the car, I mentioned the ancient commercial street where Xu's family is located.
It was night, and there were not many cars on the road, so it took about half an hour to reach the commercial street.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that there were actually eight cars parked at the street corner.
Standing beside the lead car was an old woman with sparse hair and sagging cheeks; it was none other than Grandma Shu.
The windows of the other cars were half open, and I could see people packed inside.
The leader had made a significant investment, and these were all seven-seater cars, with at least fifty or more people.
My heart instantly calmed down. With so many people here, even if that person from Guǐkān is present, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me!
Grandma Shu walked slowly towards me, first casting a glance at Yu Xiu by my side, her eyes hinting at a trace of fear.
Grandma Shu spoke in a low voice again: "The little fool said that you have some trouble, so let me follow you."
I slightly bowed and whispered, "Yes."
"Since I'm following, let's go then," Grandma Shu said with half-closed eyelids, as if she was weary.
Taking a deep breath, I glanced at those cars again.
Without waiting for me to speak, Grandma Shu explained, "There's something going on. I'll send a signal. If the Xu family doesn't open their eyes, the little fool said that they can all be killed."
My heart skipped a beat, and I developed an even greater sense of gratitude towards the leader.
People's relationships are reciprocal. The more they help each other, the more things become natural.
Saying no more, I went straight into the street, heading towards the Xu family's direction.
A few minutes later, I stopped in front of an old mansion.
Two stone lions stood at the gate, the ancient and thick qing stone steps, dark brown doors with a plaque inscribed with calligraphy that says "Xu Mansion"!
When I first returned to Jinyang, I had been to the Xu family's place.
At that time, Xu Fangniàn made me feel warm, but soon, he gave me a harsh blow with reality, shattering my fantasy of the Xu family. At this moment, I have no feelings towards the Xu family at all. All I can feel is that everything they did was like a fly that was annoying.
Just as I was about to go up and knock on the door, Grandma Shu went ahead and knocked, thumping the door with her old but powerful strength. It felt like the door of Xu's family was about to be broken.
The door was immediately pulled open, and the security guard was about to yell, "Old hag...!"
The next second, he saw me and hesitated for a moment.
"Luo... Lord?"
The security guard's attitude was completely different from the first time he met me!
Logically speaking, since I was driven out of the Xu family at that time, he shouldn't be showing such respect. The only possibility is... Xu Fangniàn must have given instructions!
They know I'm coming to Xu's family!
Old Gong, they're like the bait they snatched away!
"The young lord, please," the security guard said respectfully and made a gesture of invitation.
I remained silent for two seconds before taking a step forward.
Grandma Shu was a step ahead, with Yu Xiu trailing behind me, effectively placing me in the middle.
Upon entering Xu's family, the courtyard was elegant and compact.
However, the living room was brightly lit, and at a glance, I saw Xu Fangniàn and Xu Nuān standing inside.
Xu Nuān was looking down, her expression slightly dull.
Xu Fangniàn, on the other hand, had an expression of joy and excitement. He looked up and his gaze was intense and hot.
This confirms my previous suspicion!
They knew they could lure me over!
Soon, Grandma Shu entered the living room first, and Yu Xiu and I followed.
"Show your prowess!" Xu Fangniàn's voice was deep and his joy was even more pronounced!
Frowning, I felt a wave of disgust.
Glancing around, I was especially vigilant, trying to spot where the people from Guǐkān were hiding.
However, I found nothing, and I didn't even feel the presence of negative energy.
People from Guǐkān who raise ghosts should have extremely heavy negative energy.
"Such intimacy, you must have something to hide, right?" Grandma Shu said softly, casting a murky glance at Xu Fangniàn.
Xu Fangniàn coughed heavily before saying, "Elderly lady, you jest. I've been waiting for this display of power for far too long. As his uncle, how could I have anything to hide?"
I narrowed my eyes, coldly saying, "Regardless of what medicine you Xu family are selling, whether it's Guǐkān or not, today if you provoke me, you're really not wise."
"Return Old Gong to me, and because you once sold my parents your life, I won't kill anyone today."
Otherwise, I'll kill you both and extract your soul to interrogate."
"Guǐkān...?" Xu Fangniàn hesitated, then shook his head, his voice somber as he said, "Displaying your power, you jest. Our Xu family is open and aboveboard. How could we be associated with such scoundrels? As for Sun Zhuo..."
Xu Fangniàn's expression was complex, and a trace of regret appeared on his face.
"You've always been able to tell, nephew. You know."
I frowned, but my expression didn't change.
No matter what Xu Fangniàn says, I will not be swayed.
Sun Zhuo has been pretending in front of me for too long.
Xu Fangniàn has been acting too much.
"He's just a disgusting fraud! If it weren't for watching you covertly and tormenting him until he became neither human nor ghost during this time, I wouldn't have agreed with Mr. Qu, or with my father!"
Before Xu Fangniàn could open his mouth, Xu Nuān stamped her foot heavily. Her expression was full of loathing, and her eyes were reddening.
"Xu Nuān! What kind of attitude do you have towards the Great Enlightenment!?" Xu Fangniàn stared at Xu Nuān and scolded her severely.
Then, Xu Fangniàn looked at me again. He was all smiles and started to walk towards me.
"Great Enlightenment, don't misunderstand. There are some things I can't explain. Nuān actually fell for Sun Zhuo too. We've long since severed our ties with him. Bringing Old Gong here was a last resort."
"Mr. Qu, he wants to see you."
"The Xu family sincerely wants to patch things up with you. That's why I let Mr. Qu come up with a solution. He knows what little Nuān lost, but what she can give you, is still able to give you!"
"All you need to do is agree to return and become my nephew-in-law!" Xu Fangniàn spoke with certainty.
