Zhao Youliang didn't make things difficult for Qi Zhigang, nor did he put on a sour face. He simply ignored Qi Shan and didn't even look at him.

"Old Qi, we've finished eating, we're leaving now."

"I'll treat you at the barbecue restaurant next time."

He left immediately after speaking, without the slightest hesitation.

Qi Shan scoffed disdainfully as he watched Zhao Youliang and Li Mao's retreating figures.

He immediately put on a smiling face and reached out to grab Chen Wei.

"Director Chen, what's the rush? Come with me back to the room."

"It's rare for you to come to my house, so let's drink until we drop!"

Although Chen Wei has a forthright personality and dislikes Qi Shan's condescending attitude, he doesn't show it too obviously because he's experienced in society.

Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future.

Therefore, she simply pushed away Qi Shan's hand, which was holding hers, and said with a smile.

"I appreciate your kindness, brother, but I really have something to do today."

"Okay, next time I treat Quantum and Li Mao, I'll definitely invite you too, brother. We'll drink until we drop!"

Having been rebuffed by Chen Wei, Qi Shan could only chuckle awkwardly and let the other man leave.

After Chen Wei had walked away, he spat viciously at his retreating figure.

"Pah! What a piece of trash! You're so ungrateful!"

"Does he really think he's something special just because he's a director?!"

After scolding Chen Wei, Qi Shan then launched into a tirade against Qi Zhigang.

Qi Zhigang was already angry because of Zhao Youliang's attitude in Qishan team. Although he did not talk back to his father, he did not smile obsequiously like a filial son and grandson.

Instead, he pulled his fiancée away without a word, leaving Qi Shan alone in front of the new house, jumping up and down and cursing.

Whether you have something to say or not, time flies and it's already evening.

As expected, Qi Zhigang and his wife were the only ones who were busy at the barbecue stall.

Even Qi Zhigang's words were exactly what Zhao Youliang had anticipated, and they were perfectly in sync; the two of them truly spoke in unison.

"Quantum, I'm sorry about what happened at noon. It's all my dad's fault."

"Don't bother with him..."

Qi Zhigang was stunned when he saw Zhao Youliang cooperating with him like this.

After a moment's reaction, he spoke again: "Quantum, what do you mean?"

Zhao Youliang laughed heartily, ignoring the bewildered Qi Zhigang, and instead shouted towards the kitchen.

"Li Mao, you lost! Give me a hundred yuan right now!"

As soon as Zhao Youliang finished shouting, Li Mao walked out with a dejected look on his face and handed Zhao Youliang a large red bill with a pained expression.

At the same time, he explained to Qi Zhigang, "Brother Gang, after we left your house at noon, Liangzi said that you would definitely come to apologize tonight."

"The first thing I'll say is: 'Quantum, I'm sorry about what happened at noon. It's all my dad's fault. Please don't take it to heart.'"

"I didn't believe it, so I made a bet with Quantum... and ended up losing a hundred dollars!"

"Oh my god, my entire night's wages are gone!"

Upon hearing Li Mao's story, Qi Zhigang immediately realized what was happening, burst into laughter, and hugged Zhao Youliang tightly twice.

"Quantum, just understand me!"

"I'm not saying anything more, I've decided to be your friend!"

"Sigh, before I came here I thought you were going to say something to me to vent your anger, haha!"

Zhao Youliang smiled in response: "How could that be!"

"You are you, your father is your father, we each go our own way."

"Oh, by the way, how did that fortune teller Cao's consultation go this afternoon? Did he solve the problem?"

Qi Zhigang looked disgusted when Zhao Youliang mentioned Master Cao.

He pulled his fiancée down to sit while he began to speak.

"Don't mention her. She may not have any real skills, but she's certainly not arrogant."

"Before they even got to see what was going on after they arrived, they were already demanding good cigarettes, good wine, and good food."

"After a big feast, he mumbled some superstitious nonsense and danced around the house for ages, finally concluding that there was definitely something evil in the house."

"To completely crack the code, we need to have her stay in the house for three nights, charging my dad a thousand yuan each night."

"I couldn't be bothered to care. My dad has money, let him spend it! So I just brought my wife out."

However, Qi Shan was "heartless," but Zhao Youliang could not be "unrighteous," so upon hearing this, he quickly asked.

"Old Qi, your dad wouldn't be so foolish as to live in the new house with Cao Daxian, would he?"

“‘Suppression spells’ are very dangerous, especially when they are deliberately targeted at your family.”

Seeing that Zhao Youliang not only didn't hold a grudge but was also worried about his father, Qi Zhigang had even greater approval of Zhao Youliang's character.

After a self-deprecating laugh, he said, "Quantum, you're overthinking it."

"Even if my dad wanted to live with Master Cao, my mom wouldn't allow it!"

"A lone man and woman drinking some more..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang burst into laughter, amused by Qi Zhigang's words: "That's fine then."

"As for Cao Daxian'er, I've heard that she does indeed have several spirits attached to her."

"Although the method is unorthodox, you should be able to protect yourself without any problems. At least you won't be killed by the curse in your new house."

"As long as no one dies and it doesn't cause any discomfort, it's fine."

Hearing that Zhao Youliang had considered everything so thoroughly for him, Qi Zhigang was even more moved.

While having his fiancée help Yingchun's sister-in-law, he insisted on dragging Zhao Youliang along until they were drunk.

Yingchun's sister-in-law also greatly admired Qi Zhigang, this "unconventional" among the five major surnames. Therefore, instead of preventing Zhao Youliang from drinking, she took the initiative to arrange it.

"Okay, you guys can drink as much as you want, and then go home and get a good night's sleep."

"When I wake up tomorrow, I'll just wait and see how Cao Daxian makes a fool of himself!"

However, the "joke" came faster than expected:

It was just past 11 p.m., and Zhao Youliang and Qi Zhigang were enjoying their drinks when they heard a piercing cry for help.

Then, a middle-aged woman named Cao Daxian was seen running towards the barbecue restaurant, her clothes disheveled and her hair loose.

Zhao Youliang, who possesses the ability to see ghosts, can even see the wild spirits attached to Cao Daxian'er.

He looked equally terrified, almost bursting into tears, as if something terrifying was chasing him.

In that short span of time, Cao Daxian had already run up to Zhao Youliang.

When she spoke in a panic, her voice was shrill and frightening.

Zhao Youliang was stunned for a moment before she realized that the person speaking to her was not Cao Daxian herself, but a deity possessing her.

"Whose disciple are you? Help! Help me!"

"I am the 'Black Demon God' of Dongshantou, and some evil spirit is chasing after this immortal!"

"Please, for the sake of our shared lineage, lend a hand!"

Zhao Youliang was worried about causing panic among the other drinkers, so he didn't rush to reply.

Instead, he got up and pulled Cao Daxian aside before lowering his voice and saying, "Old Immortal, don't panic, there's nothing behind us."

"Tell me, what happened?"

Outside the book, the term "Black Demon God" refers to the pig deity in shamanic practices, while the wolf deity is called the Black-Robed Saint Lord.

"To lend a hand" is a dialect term meaning to lend a helping hand in a critical moment.
