"Little apprentice, go!"

At Xiang Wan's command, Tu Hongye scurried to a spot a short distance in front of the person, staring intently at her side, and tilted his head, saying, "Auntie, could you tell me how to get to Duyegou? My mother wants me to go there for a wedding."

The person who walked up to him gave Tu Hongye a strange look, and following his gaze, there was no one there!

As the man walked, he looked around. Tu Hongye followed his gaze and spoke again, "Auntie, please have mercy. If I can't find a place, my mother will beat me to death."

At this moment, the man looked back again, but there was nothing behind him. He was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

The sky was overcast, and there was no one in sight. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew up and hit the back of my head.

The man felt a chill run down his spine and stiffened as he slowly approached Tu Hongye, scolding, "Whose kid are you? What are you shouting for no reason? Be careful, or I'll call your parents to come and beat you up."

Tu Hongye gave him a strange look and said, "I didn't shout anything. Wasn't that lady in the blue clothes following you the whole time?"

Looking in the direction he was pointing, there was nothing but fallen leaves blown by the wind.

Tu Hongye added, "Look, she's even smiling at me."

The man's legs went weak, he was so terrified he couldn't walk, his lips trembled, and he looked like he was about to roll his eyes back.

"Amitabha! My little disciple, you've been naughty again."

With a click, Xiang Wan made a dazzling entrance, dressed in a gray Taoist robe.

While a Taoist hat may not be available, a Taoist robe for showing off is indispensable.

The original owner was destitute, mainly because after making a large sum of money, he bought this outfit.

You know what, sometimes they can be quite convincing.

Sure enough, the person who was so frightened that he couldn't move his feet immediately knelt down and cried out, "Taoist Master, save me!" upon seeing the Taoist robe.

This man's appearance was...well, let's just say it was...unpleasant. How to put it...he looked like a perfectly round potato that had landed face-first on the ground. But his clothes weren't bad; he looked like a steward from a wealthy family.

“Benefactor, please rise first. There are grievances and debts to settle, and I am afraid I cannot be of much help.”

Xiang Wan had a kind face and gentle features. Even though she looked a bit young, her overall demeanor was quite impressive.

Tu Hongye rolled his eyes, but Xiang Wan glared at him back.

Do you still want to eat white rice?

Tu Hongye silently withdrew his gaze from the quail, and Xiang Wan revealed a satisfied smile.

The person kneeling on the ground looked up and saw Xiang Wan's face, then froze on the spot.

This is what it means when appearance limits your career!

Whenever the victim sees the original owner's youthful face, nine times out of ten they will think it's a scammer.

But there was no way around it; the original owner wanted to use this face to increase her fame, and Xiang Wan couldn't just ruin her wish.

“My disciple, everything in the world, from the emperor to the snake, rat, and ant, has its own destiny. Why do you need to create trouble for yourself?”

“But Master, that woman looks kind, but she’s bleeding from her head. I really can’t bear to let her become a wandering ghost.”

"Once her wish is fulfilled, she will be reincarnated. You, on the other hand, always like to meddle in other people's business."

"Master is right, disciple understands."

Xiang Wan nodded and pulled the obedient Tu Hongye to the side.

It was only at times like this that this little apprentice was so obedient, which comforted Xiang Wan.

Calculating the timing of the person speaking, one step, two steps, three steps.

"Taoist Master, please wait."

Xiang Wan and Tu Hongye exchanged a glance, both revealing satisfied expressions.

And you know what? After Xiang Wan made these changes, the original owner and her little apprentice's glorious history of being kicked out nine times out of ten has basically disappeared.

Sometimes, the more you want something to succeed, the less you should rush it.

That's just how people are. They're not willing to be taken advantage of; if someone asks for something, they won't feel cheated no matter how much money they spend.

Bah! Xiang Wancai wasn't lying. If Tu Hongye said there were ghosts, then there definitely were ghosts.

Xiang Wan didn't turn around, and led Tu Hongye to continue walking forward.

"Please leave, I cannot help you."

"Master, please have pity on me, I have elderly parents and young children to support, please save me, I don't want to die."

As he spoke, the man scrambled and crawled, grabbing Xiang Wan's leg tightly. Xiang Wan tried to shake him off several times but couldn't.

"Master, he looks so pitiful, please save him."

"Yes, yes, the young master is right. Please have mercy and save me, Taoist priest. I'll spend any amount of money."

The woman was in tears, and as her Taoist robe gradually became soaked, she endured it for the sake of the money!

"Defying fate will bring divine retribution. Here's what we'll do: I can try to help you, but whether it works or not depends on the will of heaven."

"Thank you, Taoist priest. Thank you, young master."

The man quickly got up and ran straight to Xiang Wan's side, not daring to look in the direction Tu Hongye had been looking before.

How can someone so timid not be afraid when committing evil deeds?

Tu Hongye glanced silently behind Xiang Wan, then followed the man forward without saying a word.

Along the way, the man explained his background as he walked.

Before long, we arrived in the town.

This small town is called Pingkang Town, with more than a hundred households. The man leading the way is called Ping Datou, a butcher who sells pork in town. Despite his ugly appearance, his wife is quite beautiful, one of the most beautiful women in the whole town.

However, his wife was not born and raised in Pingkang Town, but was from Yangjia Village, which was dozens of miles away.

Pingkang Town was just a small village before. Later, because people from nearby villages came here to sell their goods at the market, and because it was close to the official road, the government simply designated it as a town.
