Chapter 171 A Fateful Marriage 9

She had been waiting for many days, thinking that her mother would come to the river to find her, but her mother never came again. Perhaps she was afraid that her younger brother would disappear before her eyes just like her.

"Okay, I'll take you to see Mom right away."

The little girl's soul was trapped in the place of death. Ning Yan released a wisp of spiritual power to wrap around her, and the invisible force binding the little girl disappeared.

Ning Yan drove her to a house in the village. The door was open, and a middle-aged woman was washing clothes by the well in the yard. Not far from her, a child was sitting on a small stool playing with toys.

The mother saw Ning Yan stand up and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Although she lived at the foot of the mountain for five years, Ning Yan only appeared when the house was first built. In the following five years, she had no contact with the villagers at all. When she needed something, she would just drive out to buy it and then go back up the mountain. Many people in the village had never seen her.

Ning Yan glanced at the little ghost girl beside her.

The little ghost waved to her mother, "Mom, I'm leaving now, goodbye."

The woman seemed to sense something, looked at where the little ghost girl was standing, opened and closed her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Ning Yan smiled at the other person and said, "Sorry, you've come to the wrong place."

The little ghost girl fulfilled her wish, and her body slowly disappeared.

At that moment, a golden light flew towards Ning Yan's fingertips. Ning Yan sat back in the car and cast the golden light onto Xu Jinchen's body. The couple then set off again.

We stopped when we passed a place called Yuqiao Village because people had been dying there recently, and they were all violent deaths. Some people said that the village had been punished by heaven, and the villagers were in a panic, so many people moved away.

The village chief wanted to hire a Taoist priest to perform an exorcism, but unfortunately, their village was poor and couldn't afford much money.

Skilled Taoist priests are unwilling to come, while those without skill are of no use.

Isn't that a coincidence?

That just happens to be Ning Yan's specialty.

Staying at the village chief's house, she and Xu Jinchen went out together that night to a place in the village where dark energy was billowing, only to find that it was a vengeful ghost causing trouble.

In order to let Ning Yan practice, Xu Jinchen suppressed the ghostly aura on his body. Ning Yan used her Taoist magic to destroy the vengeful ghost.

Several more golden rays flew towards the two of them. Ning Yan reached out and brushed them away, and the golden rays landed silently on Xu Jinchen.

Once the matter in Yuqiao Village was resolved, the two continued their journey the next day. Along the way, they helped countless ghosts and resolved several incidents of vengeful ghosts harming people. They even killed two ghost kings and saved several special departments and Taoist sects. As a result, they attracted the attention of relevant departments.

Six months later, the two finally returned to J Province.

After discussing it with Xu Jinchen, Ning Yan decided that she would stay after returning this time.

Since we weren't going to leave, we needed a fixed place to live. Just as we were about to buy a house, people from a special department came knocking on our door.

“Miss Ning, we meet again, but this time we are here on a mission to see you both.”

Ning Yan always had Xu Jinchen sitting next to her, but those with real ability could see that something was wrong with Xu Jinchen.

Especially for people in government departments, a simple investigation would reveal that Xu Jinchen was already dead, and many things could no longer be hidden.

Ning Yan glanced at her husband, then nodded to Jin Wu, "Mr. Jin, please speak."

"I wonder if you two would be interested in working in our department? The fixed monthly salary is 100,000, and there is an extra bonus for each attendance or business trip."

We are also willing to purchase the talismans offered by Miss Ning at a price 10% higher than the market price.

If both of you agree to join the special department, we can also arrange an apartment of about 200 square meters for you, and provide you with an extra car.

"Rest assured, both of you joining our department will be a powerful asset. We will treat you with the utmost respect and ensure you feel completely comfortable within the department."

Ning Yan laughed, "Are all the people in your department treated this well?"

Jin Wu: "How could that be? Apart from the basic salary being the same, everything else we give you is the best we can get."

Although I know Miss Ning is not short of money, only in this way can we show our sincerity.

The supernatural events they handle are always extremely dangerous; getting injured or even being corrupted by ghostly energy is quite normal.

Last time they encountered the Ghost King, Jin Wu and his two subordinates were all injured and infected by ghost energy. After Miss Ning appeared, she dealt with the Ghost King in less than a quarter of an hour and gave each of them a talisman. Once the talisman was applied, the ghost energy disappeared.

After taking the medicine she gave me, the external injury healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If they could recruit Miss Ning into their department, it would be like having an extra life!

After they reported the matter, their superiors immediately agreed to recruit the couple into their department, and their compensation was raised to the highest level.

That's why I say capable people can thrive anywhere.

Ning Yan asked Xu Jinchen with a smile, "What do you think? Do you want to be a civil servant?"

Xu Jinchen raised an eyebrow: "If you're willing, I don't mind playing along with you."

Ning Yan looked at Jin Wu, "Okay, we agree."

Jin Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and shook hands with Ning Yan and the other woman. "On behalf of all my colleagues in Department Seven, I warmly welcome you both to the company."

Strangely enough, the moment he grasped Xu Jinchen's hand, he felt the other's body temperature. Ghosts can have body temperature too?

However, since they can show up in broad daylight, it's normal for them to have a body temperature.

"Yes, I hope we can work together happily from now on."

"It's still early. I'll take you two to our department to complete the formalities and get to know the people in our department. Then I'll take you to see the house you've been assigned. We can get anything we need in advance. If things go smoothly, you two can move in today."

Ning Yan did not object.

After going through the whole process, Ning Yan and Xu Jinchen successfully met with everyone from the Seventh Division and then moved into the house allocated by the state.

I have to say, getting something for free is always the best.

So this is what it feels like to have a big house without spending a single penny.

Before dark, Ning Yan delivered all the things she had bought to the apartment. Jin Wu was about to leave when he seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped.

"Miss Ning, you probably don't know this yet, but your father, Ning Jiuzhou, has moved. He now lives in Unit 1, Building 17, Sanyuan Community, Room 501."

His second wife died five years earlier from shock, and the daughter she brought with her was taken away by her ex-husband.

Your father lives there with his son. Ning Jiuzhou is quite shrewd; he had some money left over when his company went bankrupt. Now he owns a supermarket near his house. He's unlikely to become extremely wealthy, but he can certainly live comfortably.

Ning Yan and Jin Wu exchanged a glance, wanting to see why he had said those words, but she saw sincerity in Jin Wu's eyes, so this was not a warning?

"Don't worry, our department has investigated your affairs with the Ning and Xu families. It was Zhang Yuke and that Madam Ning who attacked you first. Our special department will not interfere with your counterattacks."

It's mainly because we can't control it.
