Zhu Dahai was a little confused. "Huh? But, but the master I just invited has already solved the problem?"

"Uncle, you must have been scammed again!" Dong Roucai didn't believe it. Her uncle was just a fool with too much money. He had been scammed so many times and still hadn't learned his lesson.

"Oh my, this time it's for real, and the master didn't ask for anything!" He just knocked on the wooden fish two hundred times.

Listening to the clear and melodious sound of the wooden fish, Zhu Dahai felt completely relaxed.

"A fraudster who doesn't want money? Then he must have something bigger up his sleeve!" Dong Rou stormed into the house, determined to see what this fake master would do when he met the real one!

Chen Ke, who had just earned a hundred merits, was almost bumped into by Dong Rou as soon as he came out. Fortunately, although he was thin, he was quick and agile, and he dodged to the side.

However, Dong Rou was not so lucky. She also braked suddenly and was prepared to hit the person, but the person stopped and turned sideways.

Then she lost her balance and fell to her knees, sliding forward several steps...

——

There was a three-second silence.

Chen Ke: ""

"Ah! Rou Rou, are you alright?!" Bai Zhiyun screamed and ran over with a worried expression.

At this moment, Zhu Dahai and Li Qing also realized what was happening and hurriedly went in to check if Dong Rou was alright.

As soon as the two left, Chen Ke, who was standing at the door, made eye contact with Chen Daozhi.

Chen Daozhi didn't recognize Chen Ke, but seeing that the other man was dressed as a Taoist priest, he guessed that this person must be the master that the male protagonist had mentioned.

At such a young age, if he weren't naturally resistant to ghosts and blessed with abundant merit, it would be an absolute fraud to claim that he had solved the ghosts in the house.

Although Chen Ke had never met Chen Daozhi before, he recognized him the moment he saw him.

The reason was simply that the long list of merits above Chen Daozhi's head dazzled him.

Such a long amount of merit, besides the original owner who was born with the radiant glow of the heavens, who else could cultivate so much? Didn't you see that even his Taoist temple's founder, who was worshipped for so long, only had a pitiful thousand points?

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, thousand, ten million?

Chen Ke silently counted, and after a brief moment of surprise came shock. How long would it take him to keep striking the wooden fish?

Chen Daozhi noticed that the other person kept staring at his head and walked over with some displeasure. "Has no one told you that staring at people like that is very impolite?"

Chen Ke lowered his gaze to meet Chen Daozhi's, and saw not only a lot of doubt in him, but also a well-hidden arrogance and disdain.

Chen Ke: "Hehe, sorry, my parents died early, and I had no one to teach me."

Chen Daozhi frowned. "You're not young anymore, why do you speak so disrespectfully to your parents? Did you never go to school?"

Hearing these words, Chen Ke chuckled inwardly, silently took out his wooden fish, aimed it at Chen Daozhi, and began to strike it with undivided attention.

With so much merit to be gained, we must seize every second.

Upon seeing this, Chen Daozhi frowned even more deeply, "Where did you get this wooden fish...?"

Chen Daozhi could tell at a glance that this wooden fish was no ordinary object. The young Taoist priest in front of him wore an old Taoist robe and had no other Taoist items on him. Such an extraordinary object did not seem to be something he could produce.

Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two, Chen Ke completely ignored Chen Daozhi, focusing solely on his studies.

"Brother Daozhi!"

"Snap!" Chen Ke struck the wooden fish with a broken tone.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a girl ran towards Chen Daozhi.

Oh, so this is the female lead that Chen Daozhi loved so much that he was willing to give away merits. Tsk tsk tsk, she actually has the same pure Yin fate as him. No wonder, no wonder she attracted the Ghost King of Coffins during the Xuandao competition.

A man with a purely Yin destiny, without the protection of good deeds, is destined to die young. However, a woman with a purely Yin destiny, apart from being prone to attracting ghosts, doesn't have any major problems.

Moreover, if a girl with a pure Yin destiny can be with a boy with a pure Yang destiny, their Yin and Yang will be in harmony, and their cultivation will naturally be twice as effective.

Chen Ke didn't know why Chen Daozhi was so deeply in love with someone; all he knew was that this time, Chen Daozhi would not have another chance to perform a passionate love story while offering merit.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Zhiyun gave Chen Ke a meaningful look, "Brother Daozhi, come with me to take a look."

Chen Daozhi was led into the living room by Bai Zhiyun, and then headed straight for the small house.

Chen Ke followed at a distance, striking the wooden fish, making sure the wooden fish was facing Chen Daozhi.

Chen Daozhi looked at the house in front of him with a puzzled expression. The house was clean and bright, without a trace of ghostly or evil spirits.

However, looking at the contents of the glass bottle and their placement, as well as the offerings, everything indicates that someone once kept a ghost here. This place must be a place with extremely strong yin energy, breeding ghosts.

But now there isn't a single ghost in the room...

Chen Daozhi's face darkened, and he walked towards Chen Ke, asking with absolute certainty, "You drove away those little devils?"

The room was clean and tidy with no signs of any ritual performed. The person had no other magical artifacts besides a wooden fish, so they could only have driven the little ghost away and couldn't have actually destroyed it.

Chen Kemu kept going, even speeding up a bit, saying, "I'm sending them to be reincarnated."

Those little ghosts had never harmed anyone. After being summoned by the ghost infant in Li Qing's belly, they only caused mischief in the house. Chen Ke then used his merits to send them directly to reincarnation.

Whether attacking ghosts with merit results in their immediate annihilation or reincarnation depends entirely on whether they have committed any heinous acts after becoming ghosts.

Chen Daozhi clearly did not believe that anyone could eliminate a ghost without using magic tools. He thought that the person in front of him had simply learned some crooked magic from somewhere and was just driving away the ghost to cheat people out of money. Once he left, the place would return to normal, but by then he would have disappeared without a trace and could not be found at all.

"I advise you not to try to fool people with these little tricks again. You'll only end up hurting others and yourself!"

"No, no way, Master Chen didn't ask me for money," Zhu Dahai retorted softly.

"Uncle Zhu, you've really been fooled. My boyfriend wouldn't misjudge someone."

"But, but—"

"ah!"

Suddenly, Li Qing clutched her stomach and screamed, crouching down in agony.

"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Zhu Dahai immediately hugged Li Qing, looking flustered. "Don't scare me, what happened?"

"It hurts! My stomach hurts so much!"

Only then did everyone notice that under her thin clothes, Li Qing's stomach was moving violently, as if something inside her was about to struggle out.

"Auntie, Auntie! Zhiyun, please ask your boyfriend to help my aunt!"

At this moment, Bai Zhiyun hesitated and said, "But your uncle seems to trust that master more. Why don't we let that master take a look first?"
