Shi Xi's original plan was to find an excuse to go out and then come back to catch the little devil.
But the list of dishes that Jiang Tong reported made both of them hungry, so Shi Xi decided to eat first.
Well, this can be considered as pretending to be real.
The Chinese restaurant recommended by Jiang Tong was right inside the community, and they arrived there in a short walk. She was a regular customer, and when the waiter saw her coming, he took the two of them to the private room that Jiang Tong usually used, and served them tea and snacks first.
There was a faint scent of incense burning in the box, which made people relax unconsciously. Jiang Tong didn't know how long it had been since she had relaxed like this. After eating a piece of cake, her eyelids drooped heavily. She was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep on the spot.
Fortunately, the restaurant served the dishes very quickly. One dish after another, delicious and fragrant, was served on the table. The hunger made her regain her spirits: "Master, please."
Shi Xi took off his mask, revealing a face that was nothing like his original appearance, a look that was unique to the identity of Wuliu.
The gentle drooping eyes, when blinking lightly, the long eyelashes seem to sweep across the palm of the hand, which makes people soften their hearts. There is no aggressive part of this face, but the extreme beauty is inherently lethal.
Shi Xi refilled her tea and said softly, "You will be able to sleep well tonight. Mr. Jiang, hold on a little longer."
Jiang Tong wanted to say that she was no longer sleepy. Who would be sleepy after seeing such a top-notch appearance!
Jiang Tong was too embarrassed to speak out her inner thoughts, so she just said, "I believe in the Taoist priest."
The food in this restaurant is really good, especially the Longjing shrimp. The shrimp meat is chewy and fragrant. Shi Xi has already started to miss the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall recommended by Jiang Tong.
I should be able to enter the community as a restaurant guest... Shi Xi has already considered adding this restaurant to her food notebook, and she wants Zhang Qingyu and the others to try it too.
A ring interrupted Shi Xi's thoughts. She looked up and Jiang Tong smiled apologetically at her: "I'm going to answer the phone. Do you mind?"
"No problem."
Jiang Tong answered the phone and called out "Mr. Chen" in a polite but distant tone.
A concerned man's voice came from the other end: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that you've had some troubles at home recently. Have you been living in the gallery?"
Jiang Tong frowned, but her tone remained calm: "Who told Mr. Chen this?"
This Mr. Chen, whose name is Chen Junming, has some business dealings with Jiang Tong's gallery. He expressed his feelings to Jiang Tong some time ago, but was politely rejected by Jiang Tong.
Chen Junming did not give up, and often looked for opportunities to get close to Jiang Tong, and asked the employees in the gallery about Jiang Tong's interests, hobbies, itinerary and other information.
The employees of the gallery are all elites trained by Jiang Tong. No matter what Chen Junming asks, they will not reveal a single word. There is no way that Chen Junming could know about this through the gallery.
Chen Junming paused and whispered, "Some of the people invited by President Jiang have connections with my family, so I heard about it after a while."
Jiang Tong was skeptical. Those masters in the metaphysics circle all kept their mouths shut. Wouldn't it be ruining their jobs if they leaked the client's information? On the other hand, Jiang Tong didn't deliberately hide this matter. Chen Junming had been paying attention to her affairs, so it was not surprising that he knew about it.
Jiang Tong thought about this for a while, but in fact only a dozen seconds had passed: "This matter has been resolved, so there is no need for Mr. Chen to worry about it."
"If it's solved, why is President Jiang still living in the gallery these days? President Jiang, those people are not capable enough, so you're worried, right?" Chen Junming chuckled, "I know a very powerful wizard. There's no problem he can't solve. President Jiang, why don't we make an appointment to meet?"
"No need for that. I'm having dinner with my friends right now, so it's inconvenient for me to chat with Mr. Chen for long." Jiang Tong refused decisively and hung up the phone.
Shi Xi didn't like to pry into other people's privacy, so she didn't ask anything. But Jiang Tong was worried that she would think too much, so she gave a brief explanation.
"A partner heard about my story and wanted to introduce a wizard to me," Jiang Tong said frankly, "but I refused. I believed that the Taoist priest could solve this problem."
Shi Xi smiled casually: "Boss Jiang's judgment is correct."
Jiang Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, thinking that this young Taoist priest was really, really... a little arrogant. But Jiang Tong also felt that she should be like this!
After dinner, the two returned the same way. Jiang Tong opened the door and was shocked to find that the house they had messed up was once again tidy!
The sofa cushions were replaced with new pillowcases, and the daily necessities that were randomly piled on the floor disappeared, obviously put away. The floor was swept and there was no dust at all. What was even more exaggerated was that she heard the sound of the washing machine working...
They just went out for a meal, and within an hour, the ghost couldn't wait to show up and took control of the house again! Now, the ghost is hiding in a corner, secretly watching them, right?
Jiang Tong felt creepy.
"Master..." Jiang Tong looked at Shi Xi, wanting to ask him what to do next, but found that Shi Xi was not nervous at all, as if everything was under control.
"Mr. Jiang." Shi Xi restrained his expression and became more serious.
Jiang Tong immediately became serious: "Master, please speak."
Shi Xi moved closer and asked her softly, "Are you sure you want it to move? It's really efficient at cleaning the house. Isn't it better than a fully automatic cleaning robot?"
In less than an hour, a villa was restored to its original state. Anyone who saw it would have to say it was highly efficient!
"..." Jiang Tong was not so scared after being interrupted by her. She even wanted to laugh: "Master, it is efficient, but I am not worthy of it."
"Then let it move." Shi Xi curled his eyes and said, "Then I won't be polite!"
Shi Xi took out a human-shaped talisman from his bag and gently pinched it. The talisman paper floated up with the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The little talisman figure waved his hand towards Shi Xi and led the way in front.
Shi Xi waved to Jiang Tong and asked her to follow.
The two followed the little talisman up to the second floor and came to Jiang Tong's room, which was also tidy, and even the order of the bottles and jars was the same as before.
Having been mentally prepared, Jiang Tong was not too surprised this time and even felt that his mental quality had improved a lot.
Until she followed Shi Xi's footsteps and saw a painting hanging on the wall of the bedroom. Her head buzzed and she couldn't help but scream!
This was her favorite ink painting, depicting a corner of a garden. It used an exaggerated bird's-eye view to depict a large pond. The fish in the water were so lively and vivid that they seemed to jump out of the paper at any time. But now, the painting was covered with a lot of talisman paper! The room was not air-conditioned and the windows were not open, but the talisman paper was flying around and colliding with the fish in the painting, which was extremely weird.
What Jiang Tong feared most was that the ghost might be hiding in this painting! Because she loved it, she stood in front of the painting many times to admire it, and she would look at it for more than half an hour... When she thought about the many times she had looked into the eyes of the ghost without knowing it, she felt cold in her heart.
Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Jiang Tong clutched the hem of her skirt and her voice became hoarse as she spoke: "Master, is it in this painting?"
Before Shi Xi answered, the little talisman figure waved his hands excitedly, as if answering her with exaggerated body language: Yes, yes, it's in there!
Shi Xi was also observing the painting, and while looking at it he explained to Jiang Tong: "The little ghost living in your house likes to clean up the house, and he does it meticulously, and can't stand seeing any mess. In order to force it out, I messed up things and deliberately went out with you, with the purpose of luring it out."
"I know that." Jiang Tong figured it out on the way to the restaurant. This ghost was very defensive and never showed up when there were people around. Jiang Tong thought for a moment and asked, "What about these talismans..."
"This is the tracking charm I hid when I was demolishing the house. If a vengeful spirit touches it, it will be chased to the ends of the earth." Shi Xi raised his chin. "The little ghost escaped into the painting, but this painting doesn't have any yin energy at all. The reason is unknown."
"This house has been inspected several times. My room is the key inspection area, so this painting has naturally not been missed, but no one has ever said there is anything wrong with it. Thinking about it carefully..." Jiang Tong's face turned pale: "This painting was indeed obtained by me not long before I encountered the ghost."
Jiang Tong has handled so many paintings and has a large collection of paintings at home that she has never suspected that the problem lies with the paintings.
Shi Xi did not see the artist's signature or seal on the painting, so he asked, "Where did this painting come from?"
