Chapter 62 The Belief in Ghosts and Gods 15

The two stood at the entrance, at the furthest point from Luo Shu, facing each other.

Mr. Yao looked sorrowful. Yao Weiwei, standing beside him, had a cloth band around her eyes, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, showing no trace of her former liveliness and charm.

Judging from his appearance, Master Yao is an ordinary middle-aged man with slightly dark skin and deep nasolabial folds, indicating that he is usually a serious person.

At this moment, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Senior, my daughter is young and unruly and does not know any better. She has disturbed you."

Then, Yao's father pulled Yao Weiwei and bowed deeply, performing a grand ceremony before saying, "Your Excellency, could you please forgive my daughter this time? I will return her Yin-Yang Eyes and use this magic treasure to atone for your sins."

As he spoke, Yao's father took out an item and placed it on the table. It was a hand-cranked bell. The item was small but exquisitely made. The bell had been eroded by time, and the brass on the surface was covered with rust, but it still had a sense of ancient simplicity and weight.

This is a very good ritual implement, and for Maoshan, it is an even more precious treasure.

This is the corpse-driving bell they use to control zombies in Maoshan. It has been passed down from their ancestors. They never expected that today they would have to hand it over to an outsider.

Yao's father was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do; the living were always more important than the dead.

Moreover, Yao Weiwei is the next leader of Maoshan Sect, and the inheritance of Maoshan depends on her. No matter what, she cannot fall here.

The other spectators all sighed inwardly.

Yao Weiwei is quite famous in the world of metaphysics, after all, she was born with the ability to see ghosts, who wouldn't be envious!

Now, she never expected to kick a hornet's nest. Not only did she lose her ability to see ghosts, but she also got into some dirty dealings with this person. No matter how talented she is, she is still just a junior who has not yet grown up. She can't fight city hall, let alone the powerful figure in front of her.

This Sect Leader Yao has really gone to great lengths for this daughter.

Luo Shu remained aloof, her pale face listless and somewhat bored.

Luo Shu was indeed feeling rather bored. Usually, she would be in the shop watching TV and enjoying some food at this time. Today, she was attending this boring gathering of middle-aged people. Tsk, it was a bit annoying.

As for the Yao family father and daughter, she didn't care. The Yin and Yang energies were drawn by Luo Shu and then sensed the golden light of morality on Luo Shu. After all, the Yin-Yang Eyes are a gift from the Heavenly Dao. Luo Shu is favored by the Heavenly Dao, so they naturally like to stay by Luo Shu's side. They themselves don't want to leave, so how can you blame her?

Old Zheng glanced down at his watch, and sure enough, it was time for his ancestor to eat. He then stole a glance at Luo Shu and saw that she looked indifferent, as if she were a little angry.

He quietly slipped out the door, and no one paid much attention to him; most people's eyes were fixed on Luo Shu.

Zhang Song followed Zheng Laoqi out.

Seeing that Luo Shu did not respond, Yao's father looked even more desolate. Standing next to him, Yao Weiwei felt the muscles in her father's arm as he supported her tense. The surroundings were silent, and she felt a mixture of resentment and sorrow. She had never experienced anything like this before.

The wind and frost are relentlessly pressing in!

She gritted her teeth, then bent her knees and knelt before the ghost.

At this moment, Yao Weiwei felt that every strand of her hair was etched with humiliation.

She, a legitimate disciple of Maoshan, knelt before a ghost, and when the story spread, she became a laughing stock.

Yao Weiwei spoke with a slightly trembling voice, "It was my improper behavior that offended you, senior. I apologize to you."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times with a loud thud, leaving a bruise on his forehead, indicating that he had used a lot of force.

Seeing this, others didn't think Yao Weiwei was mocking and ridiculing her. Instead, they felt that this girl had a good character and was willing to humble herself. With some training, she could be a good prospect.

The two men from Longhu Mountain nearby felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing Yao Weiwei's actions, especially Lin Qinghuang. If his uncle hadn't been holding him back, he probably would have rushed over and knelt down with Yao Weiwei long ago.

But no, Yao Weiwei must make amends for this gift herself.

Now that the apology has been made and the other person's anger has subsided, there won't be any further trouble.

Zhao Yunnan stepped forward and said to Luo Shu, "Senior, this young man is also ignorant. He is too spoiled by his family because of his young age. It is fortunate that he has been taught by you this time, otherwise who knows what trouble he might cause in the future."

That's a very nice thing to say; you have to admit, experience counts.

Then Zhao Yunnan paused before saying, "This little girl was born with the ability to see ghosts. She has been with him day and night and is already used to it. Senior, would it be convenient for you?"

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but everyone understood the implication.

Before Luo Shu could answer, the conference room door opened, and several food carts were pushed in, filled with all sorts of pastries, fruits, and snacks.

There was also a box emitting cold air containing iced drinks and popsicles.

Zheng Laoqi pushed the cart directly to Luo Shu, while Zhang Song and several other members of the Zhang family pushed the food to the Taoist priests. Yao Weiwei was already standing to the side, being helped by Lin Qinghuang.

Several people were indeed quite hungry, so they each picked out some food and placed it beside them. Those who weren't hungry also grabbed some drinks, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious. This shows that food is the best way to bring people closer together.

Zheng Laoqi, who was in the lead, placed the items on the table one by one, then lit incense sticks. Luo Shu dispelled the ghostly aura beneath her seat, sat down in a chair, and began to enjoy the food with a leisurely expression.

The aroma of the food on the table, along with the white smoke, was inhaled into her mouth. A faint blush appeared on Luo Shu's face, and a smile appeared on her face. For the first time ever, she gave Zheng Laoqi a look.

This younger brother is quite perceptive, very good!

Old Zheng was secretly delighted as he set off fireworks, his face still bearing a gentle smile, but he stood even straighter, head held high, accepting the scrutiny of everyone present.

After Luo Shu finished eating, Zheng Laoqi quickly cleared the food away and led the Zhang family members out of the conference room, leaving the space for the bigwigs inside.

Luo Shu lazily lay back down on the ghostly energy, which looked incredibly smooth, like a fluffy cloud, steadily supporting her.

With a wave of her fair hand, the yin and yang energies flew from her hand into Yao Weiwei's body and then disappeared into her eye sockets.

Yao Weiwei felt the existence of her Yin-Yang Eyes again. Having lost them and regained them, she realized how fleeting life is. Her tears instantly soaked the white cloth covering her eyes.

Luo Shu waved her hand, and the corpse-driving bell flew towards her. She picked up the bell and shook it. The bell had a deep, resonant sound, unlike the crisp sound of ordinary bells.

The sound of those few rings made everyone present feel their blood boil; a true expert's skill is immediately apparent!

Luo Shu's move indeed stunned everyone.

Her nonchalant demeanor and the mere wave of her jade-like hand were enough to send chills down their spines. They simply couldn't beat her, okay?

This bell is of little use to Luo Shu. Her own ghostly power is immense, and she has no need to absorb the little bit of yin energy from this bell to enhance her cultivation.

Bored, she tossed the bell back, and Yao's father caught it. The bell still retained the chill left by the ghostly aura.

Then the person at the head of the group gradually disappeared, and after a moment, only a wisp of ghostly energy remained in the room.

The crowd was even more shocked. This person truly possessed extraordinary abilities, leaving right before their eyes without them even being able to see his whereabouts.

Fortunately, this person doesn't seem to be a fierce person, otherwise, there would probably be a bloodbath here today, and I would just become her nourishment.

Well, now that the main character is gone, there's no point in them staying here.

Then let's go, everyone go home.

Just before leaving, Zhao Yunnan of Longhu Mountain said loudly, "This senior possesses the power of merit and has already attained the status of a Yin spirit. Everyone, please remember this."

Then he strode away with his junior apprentice, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
