Bai Ling had never seen anyone so eager to die. She looked up and carefully examined Ming Zhuo for a few moments.

Mingzhuo suppressed his smile. "But if he doesn't have the ability, then I'll have to kill him myself."

Bai Ling paused for a moment: "Young lady, you are ignorant and arrogant. Do you even know who our group leader is? He..."

She snorted coldly, clearly hiding important information.

Mingzhuo didn't care; he could just stab him to death with one sword. If one sword wasn't enough, he could just use two.

The Xuanmen sect has its own official liaison organization. The Sun Wanqiu incident was handled by the official organization, and Bai Ling is also waiting for the official to send someone to pick her up this time.

Xia Yuan prepared a sumptuous breakfast for everyone and then paid them their wages.

Everyone else received one million, and then Mingzhuo received ten million.

He Wangyao whispered to Mingzhuo, "Actually, you can make a request to Uncle Xia, and he will definitely agree."

Everyone around turned to look, their eyes filled with envy and a hint of jealousy, but no hatred.

The reason everyone is so enthusiastic about the Xia family's affairs is not just because of the reward, but because the Xia family has an ancestral treasure!

If I could borrow this place to cultivate for a period of time, it would definitely be of great benefit to my progress in Taoist practice!

Fearing that Mingzhuo would miss a good opportunity, He Wangyao briefly explained the matter of the treasure.

After listening, Mingzhuo thought for a moment and said, "Really? Then I think ten million is more important."

She also has the heavy responsibility of paying off her sister's debts, so of course she chooses to ask for money!

Everyone else looked on incredulously. How could they let such a treasure go to waste? It was a treasure!

Mingzhuo said no and left without a second thought, leaving the Xia family after breakfast.

However, as soon as she boarded the plane, He Wangyao shoved a box into her hand.

"Uncle Xia asked me to give this to you." He Wangyao was also surprised. Xia Yuan was always stingy, but this time he really spent a lot of money and even gave away his ancestral treasures.

He can still recall the pained expression on Xia Yuan's face just now.

Mingzhuo hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. "In that case, I'll have no choice but to accept it."

Gu Xu: "That woman was probably also after the Xia family's treasures. Xia Yuan realized this, so naturally he didn't dare to leave the treasures at home anymore."

He Wangyao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

He wondered why Xia Yuan had suddenly become so generous.

Mingzhuo remained calm, glanced at the jade pendant in the box a few times, and then closed it again.

"However, Mr. Gu, you've done a great job this time, sending out planes and catching the mastermind behind it all. I should reward you."

She took out a bank card and said, "Here's five million. Take it."

Gu Xu paused for a moment, then said, "No need."

“Yes, I will.” Mingzhuo grabbed the other person’s hand, opened it, and placed the card in his palm. “Take it, otherwise I’ll feel bad troubling you next time.”

She knew she would have many more business trips like this in the future, so she had to build a good relationship with the other party beforehand!

Gu Xu looked down at the bank card in his palm, never expecting that he would actually receive a reward.

He carefully put the card in his suit pocket. "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Mingzhuo happily put down his chair, ready to lie down comfortably for a while, seeing that the cooperation had been reached.

Ah Hu sat at the back, very curious about what those people were talking about, and why the Third Miss was laughing so happily.

And he wasn't mistaken, was he? The Third Miss actually gave Mr. Gu a bank card. What kind of development is this?

Ah Hu was left in the annex of the villa last night and slept soundly until dawn. He only vaguely knew that something seemed to have happened to the Xia family, which was why they invited monks and Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirits.

But why was Miss San invited here? She's just an ordinary high school student!

His doubts were answered on the way home after the plane landed.

"So, Miss, you're also practicing Taoism, you're a Taoist nun?" Good heavens, what's going on? His pupils widened in shock!

Mingzhuo thought for a moment, realizing that there were some things she needed to let Ah Hu know. "I'm not a Taoist nun. You understand what I mean, right? Metaphysics is actually a science that requires a scientific approach."

Ah Hu: "Is the end of science theology?"

Mingzhuo nodded, "I just used some scientific methods to make those people believe that I am very capable and can exorcise evil spirits and tell fortunes."

Ah Hu was still shocked. Wasn't this just swindling?

Mingzhuo: "Think about my eldest sister."

Ah Hu understood after hearing this, since Ruan Mingying donated millions of yuan in incense money every time she went to Yunling Temple.

Those monks who have thoroughly understood Buddhism can preach Buddhist scriptures and are respected by people; their third young lady is so smart, she must have learned a lot of Taoist scriptures, which is why people are willing to spend money!

Since the former is legal, the latter is naturally not a problem; he's the one who's overthinking it!

"Third Miss, you're amazing!" Ah Hu exclaimed with admiration.

People who are good at studying have quick minds. Those old monks and Taoist priests were all very respectful to the Third Miss, clearly losing out because they weren't smart enough.

Mingzhuo: "Could you please help me keep this a secret?"

She slipped a red envelope to Ah Hu.

"Third Miss, this is absolutely unacceptable!" Ah Hu was flattered and dared not hesitate any longer. "I will only tell you what I have seen and will not reveal anything else!"

Anyway, he didn't see how the Third Miss was conning people... no, preaching.

If you didn't see it, then you don't know it.

The Third Miss only went to the Xia family once, that's all.

——

Seeing Mingzhuo return, Ruan Mingying and her mother, who had been on tenterhooks all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
