Summoning Heavenly Thunder Bare-Handed, Yet You Ask Me to Believe in Science

Zhang Tianle breaks his promise to his deceased master to save his younger martial sister suffering from leukemia, deciding to trade his life for hers by leaving seclusion to tell fortunes and earn...

Chapter 74 Tianle, my grandson has encountered a ghost!

As soon as Zhang Tingting left, Liu Yiyi approached, frowning. "Senior brother, why does she have an alluring aura about her? Who used evil magic on her?"

"It's just some low-class trick used by despicable people." Zhang Tianle chuckled, then turned his gaze back to her: "How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No. I'm perfectly fine." Liu Yiyi turned around. "Really, I haven't felt this relaxed and comfortable since I got sick. Oh, by the way, senior brother, I can feel the presence of Qi. Look..."

As Liu Yiyi spoke, she opened her hands, and a very faint milky white cloud of energy danced in her palms.

Zhang Tianle raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This dog system is actually pretty good.

It actually changed his junior sister's physique.

His master had previously lamented to him that his junior sister had an extremely high aptitude for metaphysics, but unfortunately, due to her physical limitations, she was destined to be only a half-baked sorcerer in this life, and could not become an all-around master.

Of course, his master wasn't an all-rounder either, because among the metaphysical fields of mountain medicine, fate, physiognomy, and divination, his master only possessed the medical skill of observing qi, which he used to judge the situation of those who came for fortune telling.

But his medical skills were truly rotten to the core, which was also his only flaw.

While inwardly complaining about his master, Zhang Tianle smiled and said, "Very good! Being able to sense the energy field means you've officially embarked on your cultivation journey, and it will be even smoother for you in the future."

At this moment, Liu Yiyi withdrew her aura, narrowed her eyes, and approached Zhang Tianle: "Senior brother, won't you tell me what kind of miraculous medicine you gave me? It can not only cure my leukemia, but also make my aptitude stronger."

She was certain that this elixir would cause a sensation throughout the entire metaphysical world.

"It's a secret." Zhang Tianle pressed her forehead, pushed her back, and solemnly lied, "It's a secret that can never be told. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble."

He wouldn't tell even his close junior sister, Liu Yiyi, about things related to the system.

It wasn't that he was wary of his junior sister, but rather that something was off about this system, and there was definitely a more terrifying secret hidden behind it, so he dared not, and did not want to, drag his junior sister into this vortex.

Seeing Zhang Tianle's furrowed brows, Liu Yiyi knew that Zhang Tianle would never tell her about this.

"Okay!" Liu Yiyi pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Just then, an old woman with a full head of white hair rushed in from outside: "Tianle! Tianle! Disaster! My grandson has gotten into big trouble! I beg you to save my grandson!"

"Grandma Qiao, what's wrong?" Liu Yiyi stepped forward and took the old woman's hand. "Don't worry, tell me slowly. My senior brother is here for you!"

This old lady was their neighbor, and she was also a frequent visitor to the master when he was around.

Most importantly, when they were kids, after school they would come home and their master would be out working, so they often ate at Grandma Qiao's house.

Although the master gave Grandma Qiao extra money for meals when he returned, they always remembered Grandma Qiao's kindness.

Zhang Tianle immediately examined Granny Qiao's face.

He frowned at just one glance.

Her grandson is really being a troublemaker.

Just then, Granny Qiao spoke up.

"Sigh! Don't even mention it! As you all know, Liu Cheng has been raised by his parents and hasn't come back much. A few days ago, he suddenly came home to keep me company. Of course, I was happy."

"Then he asked me some superstitious things, things that are taboo and would offend ghosts and gods. At first, I didn't care and just told him."

"Later I discovered that this child was incredibly audacious, actually trying to do things that offended the gods and spirits!"

“I cursed at him, but he didn’t take it seriously. He even told me that it was just a gimmick and that there are no ghosts or gods in this world.”

"They also said that he makes a lot of money on Xianyin and that he's very famous."

"Even after I gave him a good scolding, he still wouldn't change his ways. He kept trying!"

"And now this has happened! He suddenly stopped eating and drinking today, and... and..."

As if she had just remembered something, Grandma Qiao shuddered, and her expression turned visibly terrified.

Finally, she overcame her fear and calmed down, recounting the incident in a trembling voice: "When I woke him up, he wasn't in the room. Then I heard a sound from the ceiling. I looked up and saw him hanging there, his body facing upwards at a bizarre angle, his neck twisted 180 degrees, looking down at me. I was so scared I almost choked!"

"And most importantly, he was wearing a red dress!!!"

"I came to you as soon as I realized what was going on."

"Tianle, you have to help your mother-in-law! She really doesn't know who else to ask for help!"

In the past, when the neighbors encountered such bad things, they would ask Zhang Tianle's master for help.

After Zhang Tianle's master left, Zhang Tianle never made a move again.

Everyone thought that Zhang Tianle had not inherited Zhang Ninghe's mantle.

But Grandma Qiao had heard Zhang Ninghe remark ever since Zhang Tianle was a child that Zhang Tianle's talent was exceptional, so exceptional that even his master could not match it.

Even when Zhang Tianle was fifteen years old, Zhang Ninghe said that he had nothing left to teach him.

But Grandma Qiao also knew another point.

"Tianle, Granny Qiao knows that your intervention will shorten your lifespan. I heard from your master that your line of work has a method of extracting the lifespan of others to replenish one's own. Anyway, Granny Qiao has lived long enough, so just take my lifespan to save my dim-witted grandson! Granny Qiao is kneeling before you! Please, please save my good-for-nothing grandson!"

As Grandma Qiao spoke, she was about to kneel down before Zhang Tianle.

Zhang Tianle immediately helped Grandma Qiao up, saying, "Grandma Qiao, you mustn't do this. You're making me feel so bad. Come on, let's go to your house and take a look."

Zhang Tianle helped Grandma Qiao walk outside.

Grandma Qiao wiped away her tears, moved: "Tianle, you... why don't you find someone else to take a look at my grandson?"

Every time Zhang Tianle made a move, it would cost him his life. She couldn't bear to see Zhang Tianle lose his life for their family's sake.

He was never going to live past fifty.

"Grandma Qiao, don't worry! I'm different now. My master changed my fate before he died, and now I can travel the world and use mystical arts without shortening my lifespan," Zhang Tianle reassured Grandma Qiao.

"Really?" Grandma Qiao looked at Zhang Tianle with surprise and delight. "I knew your master was capable and wouldn't let your talent go to waste. That's good. Now I can rest assured!"

"Yes! My master is the best master in the world!" Zhang Tianle smiled in agreement.

Meanwhile, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't reveal that Zhang Tianle had deceived Grandma Qiao.

We can deal with that idiot after we've saved Grandma Qiao's reckless grandson.
