Brotherhood is worthless at this point.

What's more, all of this was caused by Er Laizi. Instead of helping them solve the problem, he's just making things worse.

The other family members of the scoundrels were not happy about this, so they pushed the two scoundrel brothers to the back and took turns speaking nicely to the witch.

With a stern face, the old witch reluctantly nodded and said, "Seeing that you are all quite sincere, I can help you. But let me make this clear from the start: I don't have the ability to persuade this thing. Why don't you reconsider?"

Wu Chenxi knew that these people were only superficially convinced, so she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she took a special look at the Erlaizi brothers hiding behind the crowd.

Having found the root of the problem, the crowd turned their fire on the two brothers, making them hang their heads low and hand over all the money they had on them before the matter was finally settled.

After some more bargaining with the spirit, Wu Chenxi finally got it to agree to temporarily let the people in front of it go.

To convince them, Wu Chenxi sent away the soul in front of them before wiping away the sweat she had forced out.

"This matter is temporarily over, but you must keep your promise and not do those bad things again."

You know, some people who hated evil in life retain their habits and memories even after death…

After giving these people a good scolding, Wu Chenxi finally vented her anger, and they had to thank her profusely.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Wu Chenxi called them back, as she had just seen that they still had money on them.

"After all, you have been tainted by yin energy. This feeling of being cold all over your body will last for several days, and you will be relatively weak for a period of time, often experiencing minor ailments."

I do have some talismans here, which I obtained with great effort. I wonder if you would like to ask for one to carry with you; at least it can dispel the negative energy on your body.”

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at the witch with pleading expressions.

Wu Chenxi retorted irritably, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Besides, I bought these things from elsewhere at a high price. Do you want them or not? Five yuan a piece."

Now everyone backed down, thinking that it was just a minor illness, and they could just tough it out.

"Will it just be a few minor illnesses and then it will pass?" a white-haired woman asked softly.

Even if your own child is disappointing, you still don't want him to have health problems.

"It's definitely not that simple. There will definitely be physical damage, and your luck hasn't been good lately either."

The white-haired old woman quickly said, "I'll buy it, but please give me one first, fortune teller."

Seeing that she was so cooperative, Wu Chenxi picked out the best-quality talisman from among the others, as it would be the most effective when placed on her body.

Sure enough, as soon as the hooligan got the talisman, he immediately felt the chill on his body dissipate, and the cotton-padded clothes he had been wearing suddenly became too heavy to wear.

He quickly took off his cotton-padded coat and trousers, revealing only his single layer of clothing underneath. "I'm all better now, I'm not cold anymore."

Now everyone was tempted. It's a bit pricey, but that's fine. Otherwise, in this hot weather, wearing this outfit outside would only invite a lot of gossip.

Erlaizi initially wanted to hold back a little longer, but seeing everyone taking off their cotton-padded coats, he was tempted. Touching the five yuan he still had in his pocket, he finally couldn't resist stepping forward.

To everyone's surprise, the talisman in the witch's hand disappeared. "How did it just disappear?"

The old woman looked up at him and said, "That's all I have. Why don't you just bear with it? It's just a few minor illnesses anyway." At most, you'll be unlucky for a while longer.

Erlaizi glanced back at his cronies, only to find that they all had the talismans close to their bodies and were looking at him warily.

Erlaizi had no choice but to turn back to Wushenpo and beg, "Please, I know I was a bit harsh before, please help me think of a solution."

The old woman shook her head. "I got this from someone else, and I don't have any on hand right now. But I do have another kind, and there's only one of it. The price will double. If you need it, I can part with it."

Erlaizi looked at the money in his hand, wanting to give it up but unwilling to. He glanced back at his brother, only to see him shaking his head with his eyes closed.

As for the others, they simply turned their heads away and made up their minds not to lend the money.

Erlaizi had no choice but to reluctantly follow everyone out the door.

Wu Chenxi locked the door, lit a stick of incense in her hand, and said, "This is your reward. Thank you for your cooperation."

Ye Ajin took a greedy drag and quickly went to the backyard to call Fang Qing and the others in.

“Master, you should actually take on more orders like this,” Ye Ajin urged Wu Chenxi as the incense burned out and drifted over to her side.

"Look how you're making a fortune, and we're also getting a good meal. It's a win-win situation."

Wu Chenxi said irritably, "If these kids hadn't offended my good disciple, do you think I would have been willing to take action?"

However, it also allowed my little apprentice to earn some extra money on his own, which served as a lesson to these people.

Don't underestimate ten yuan per person. For villagers, it's not something they can save up in a year. In order to avoid losing money, their families should keep a close eye on them in the future.

"Should we go and teach them another lesson?" Ye Ajin's eyes darted around, hoping to scare them back and bring in more income.

Wu Chenxi gathered spiritual energy in her hand and slapped it towards him, "Am I such a person without any bottom line?"

You mustn't encourage Xiangyun to do such a thing. If I find out, I won't let it go easily.

It was rare for Wu Chenxi to issue such a stern warning, and the souls quickly made assurances, at which point the matter was put to rest.

Hua Xiangyun had no idea that Er Laizi and the others had gone to the end of the county to find Wu Chenxi. After finishing their work for the day, they went with everyone to the back mountain to collect firewood.

After all, she also went to the educated youth center for lunch, so she naturally wanted to do her part.

Unexpectedly, just as she entered the mountains, Ren Jinpeng waved to her from a distance.

Hua Xiangyun made up an excuse and came to the shade of this big, sunless tree. "Why are you here at this time?"

Shouldn't they hide under this blazing sun?

“We’ve always been here,” Ren Jinpeng said with a smile, pointing to the back of the house. The house was vacant for the master’s companions, so they had to stay here temporarily.

“Someone did reveal some information yesterday,” Ren Jinpeng even forgot that they could no longer be called human, “that people patrol this mountain forest every five years, but I don’t know if they are the people the master mentioned.”

Ever since he learned that it might be a minor event and that they were setting up formations and casting spells here, Ren Jinpeng volunteered to help contact the nearby spirits.

Faced with the past hatred and resentment towards Guo, even if they were not considered human, that resentment was still stuck in their chests. Now that they had the ability to contribute, they naturally had no objections.
