There was no progress for tonight, and seeing that it was getting late, Mingzhuo told the two of them to go home first.

After the three of them left the teahouse, He Wangyao wrapped her trench coat tighter around herself and said, "Boss, how about I ride in your car and go back with you?"

Looking at the night outside, he feels unsafe everywhere. Even if a passerby glances at him, he suspects they might be evil spirits.

What was once an ordinary urban night scene suddenly became fraught with danger.

I only feel safe when I'm with Mingzhuo.

Mingzhuo looked at him in surprise: "You shouldn't stay at Luowu Residence for the next few days."

"Why?" He Wangyao's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened.

Mingzhuo: "Mr. Gu's constitution is immune to all evils. How can you fish while living in Luowu Residence?"

He Wangyao couldn't help but burst into tears: "I understand, I'll go home and stay for the next few days."

Mingzhuo smiled. This person was clearly terrified, yet he did whatever he was told, which showed that he was quite obedient and cooperative.

She asked the other person to extend their hand, and then wrote the word "peace" in their palm. As soon as the word was written, a spiritual light shone through, and He Wangyao was completely stunned.

"Hurry up and hold on!" Mingzhuo urged.

He Wangyao snapped out of her daze and quickly grasped it. When she looked again, the glimmer of light had vanished, and her palm was clean, with nothing on it.

Mingzhuo explained, "This is a palm talisman I drew for you. It's not as effective as a paper talisman, but it won't be detected by evil spirits. If anything unusual happens to you, I can sense it."

He Wangyao was overjoyed, "Thank you, boss!"

Great! Finally, he doesn't have to face those ghostly things alone! This isn't just a palm charm; it's clearly his life-saving charm!

Li Wenhe looked at Ming Zhuo without saying a word, but his eyes betrayed his thoughts.

"Why don't you put your hand out too?" Mingzhuo said voluntarily.

Li Wenhe opened his palm and watched Ming Zhuo finish writing. Then, as a flash of inspiration struck him, he suddenly clenched his fist. Because the movement was so fast, he almost grabbed Ming Zhuo's fingers as well.

He Wangyao chuckled. Who would have thought that this guy, who looked so mature for his age, was actually more afraid than she was?

Tsk tsk, still just a child.

Li Wenhe glanced at the other person indifferently, then clenched his fist again.

Mingzhuo: "Alright, alright, that's all for now. Everyone, go home."

She didn't go home for dinner, saying she was having dinner with friends, and her family was probably waiting for her to come home.

Ah Hu drove up, his curiosity getting the better of him. He couldn't help but ask, "Third Miss, is He Wangyao also one of your clients?"

After all, He Wangyao's condition seemed very strange; she was extremely respectful to the Third Miss!

Mingzhuo: "...Is that so?"

Unexpectedly, the other party actually guessed it, although it was a far cry from the truth.

Ah Hu was very excited: "Third Miss, please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut! But when you are reciting the scriptures, you might as well condemn the other party's behavior of harassing the Second Miss and teach him to be a responsible and accountable man!"

Mingzhuo smiled and said, "Okay, I will."

——

Mingzhuo thought her performance was the best among the three, and that she had profoundly portrayed a gloomy and irritable teenage girl, so she would be the first one to come knocking on her door.

As a result, her phone remained completely silent overnight.

Li Wenhe, on the other hand, told her early on that he had been added to that suicide pact group.

Mingzhao: "..."

What exactly went wrong? I've been a troubled girl for over a decade, isn't that enough of a vivid portrayal?

When they arrived at school, Mingzhuo couldn't help but ask the other person, "How did you do that?"

They were targeted after just one night?

Li Wenhe smiled and said, "It's probably because I was still actively posting around 11 p.m. last night."

Mingzhuo understood; this was a case of winning through hard work. She patted the other person on the shoulder approvingly, "Well done! I'll give you a red envelope after this is all over!"

Li Wenhe lowered his eyelids, concealing the thoughts in his eyes.

He was simply acting out his true self.

It wasn't that he was hopeless or frustrated and wanted to commit suicide, but rather that he wanted to gain strength through death to retaliate against the mother and son who had bullied him.

Why should a father who cheats go unpunished? Why should an illegitimate child be allowed to ride roughshod over him? Why should a mistress dare to act arrogantly in front of his mother's sickbed?

All of these were his true and dark thoughts.

My uncle once said that he was too preoccupied with his thoughts and not suitable for cultivation, so he refused to teach him Taoist methods, because that would only harm him.

Now that he has followed Mingzhuo into the Dao, he naturally cannot continue to be so dark and murderous.

But Mingzhuo also said, "If anyone offends me, I will kill them." His style of doing things is very different from his uncle's.

She is my benefactor, so naturally I will do whatever she says.

After school in the afternoon, the three of them met again at the same teahouse to review the results of the day's activities.

When He Wangyao learned that Li Wenhe had been added to the suicide pact group, she looked a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at him several times.

"Are you alright? Is something really bothering you...?" He always felt that Li Wenhe was too mature and lacked the liveliness and energy that someone his age should have.

Li Wenhe took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You can't question my excellence just because I was the first to complete the task."

He Wangyao: "..."

Okay, he's overthinking it. How could someone like that really have suicidal thoughts?

Mingzhuo glanced at her phone listlessly. Most of the posts she made were from netizens just there for the fun of it, and there was nothing unusual about them.

"These people have no taste. I've been wanting to die so badly, and no one has come looking for me."
