Qin Can was surprised when he heard Li Shu say this, but he knew that since his master dared to say this, it must be true. He sneered and said, "I think you are guilty, so you are in such a hurry to drive us away."
Although the shop owner was shocked at how the girl in front of him knew the origin of his jade, he expected that they definitely had no evidence and might just have made a random guess. "Why should I feel guilty? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble and want to affect my business, right?"
Li Shu's gaze fell back on the white jade on the shelf. Her dark eyes were clear and translucent as she spoke slowly, "This jade has an evil spirit on it. Even if you process and carve it and sell it, customers will come to you and complain. Furthermore, it's life-threatening if it's contaminated with evil spirits. It won't just be a simple matter of returning the jade. You'll be responsible for dozens of lives on your hands."
The shop owner frowned, obviously not believing what she said, and said with displeasure, "Little girl, I see that you are young, but you are quite good at making up stories. Since you say that my jade is not from a legitimate source, then show me the evidence."
Li Shu didn't say anything, her face looked quite calm. She slowly took out a piece of talisman paper from her pocket and hit the shop owner on the forehead before he could react.
The shop owner only saw a yellow object flying towards him quickly. He was slightly stunned. Then, coming to his senses, he subconsciously raised his hand to peel the talisman off his forehead, but found nothing. He said angrily, "What did you just do to me? I clearly saw you throw something and it stuck to my forehead. How come it's gone now?!"
Li Shu crossed her arms, raised her chin towards the shelf behind him, and said, "Look at that piece of jade now."
The shop owner suppressed his doubts, turned around with a dark face, and when his eyes fell on the white jade stone, he paused for a moment.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, his brows filled with disbelief. For a moment, he suspected that he was seeing things. He raised his finger and pointed at the jade, then turned his head to look at Li Shu standing behind him, "Why is there a layer of light black mist lingering on this jade?"
Li Shu said: "This is evil spirit."
The shop owner touched his forehead again and asked, "Then what was that thing you just pasted here? How come it's gone?"
Li Shu raised an eyebrow, "Don't worry, it only allows you to see the evil spirit talisman paper, it won't cause any harm or impact on your body."
The shop owner had no choice but to believe that he had met a true master. No wonder he could tell at a glance that this piece of jade was dug out from a dead person's tomb. His expression immediately became respectful. Thinking of what Li Shu had just said, he made a quick decision and said, "Master, I'll sell it to you for 100,000!"
Li Shu hummed softly and was about to take out her phone from her pocket to pay when she heard Qin Can say, "Master, I'll pay."
Li Shu shook her head and refused firmly: "No, I'll pay for it myself."
This was something she was going to give to Qin Can, so naturally she couldn't let him pay for it.
Although this piece of jade came from a dead person's tomb and it was unlucky to give it to someone as a gift, she herself never avoided this.
Besides, since Qin Can has become her disciple, he shouldn't care about these things.
This piece of jade is of excellent quality. After being carved and polished by her hands, and then infused with spiritual power and consecrated, it becomes a treasure that can exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits.
With such a large piece, you can make a lot of different things out of it.
With this, Qin Can no longer needed an amulet and could walk sideways in front of ghosts with his eyes closed.
Li Shu tapped the payment QR code and then turned her phone screen towards the shop owner, "Scan it."
The shop owner nodded, not daring to neglect it. He walked to the counter, picked up the handheld cash register, entered the amount, scanned it at Li Shu's phone screen, and tore off the printed invoice and handed it to her, "Okay, Master."
He paused, pointed to the piece of jade on the shelf behind him, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, why don't you go get it yourself? I'm afraid of being contaminated by this evil spirit..."
Qin Can was amused. "Hey, you dare to say that you have never touched this jade before, and now you know it's scary."
The shop owner was reminded by him and remembered that he had indeed encountered it that morning. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "Master, I... I haven't been contaminated by this evil spirit, have I?"
Li Shu walked towards the shelf and said, "No, a short contact will be fine."
The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's it."
Qin Can saw Li Shu was about to move the large piece of jade and quickly stepped forward to help. "Master, let me do it. It's too heavy. A girl like you definitely can't lift it."
Li Shu raised an eyebrow, but didn't refuse. She moved aside to make room for him, "Then you move."
Qin Can nodded, placed his hands on the bottom of the jade, and pretended to pick it up, but just as he lifted it a little, he put it down again, "..."
He looked a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected this thing to be so heavy. He coughed lightly, glanced at the people behind him, and said awkwardly, "I didn't move it properly just now..."
"Why don't you two carry it together? This piece of jade is quite heavy. It took two of us to carry it in this morning." The shop owner kindly suggested.
Zhang Zhe said, "Brother Can, let me move with you."
"There's no need to move it together, I can do it alone." Li Shu said as she walked forward. Before they could react, she lifted up the jade block that was almost half her size with one hand.
Qin Can: “…”
Queen, you are such a jerk...
Zhang Zhe: “…”
Wow, Master Li is so manly!
Shopkeeper: "..."
My goodness, you are worthy of being a master!
Under the shocked gazes of several people, Li Shu held the jade piece between her arms without changing her expression, then turned around and walked slowly towards the door of the shop. When she passed by the owner, she snapped her fingers to remove the effect of the talisman paper on his body.
She suddenly stopped at the doorstep of the shop, turned her head to look at Qin Can and Zhang Zhe who were still standing there in a daze, and said in a calm voice, "You're not leaving?"
Qin Can and Zhang Zhe came to their senses after hearing this and quickly followed, "Let's go, let's go."
Three people came out of the jade shop one after another. Zhang Zhe looked at the girl who was walking in front, holding the jade block in one hand and walking without breathing, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Can, you didn't pretend that you couldn't move it just now, did you?"
Qin Can glanced at him, his lips twitching slightly, and he was a little speechless. "Fuck, why would I pretend to be like this if I have nothing to do? Besides, didn't you hear the owner just say that it would take two people to move it? This piece of jade weighs at least 50 to 60 kilograms."
Zhang Zhe scratched his hair and said in disbelief, "Master Li, that was too easy to move. He only used one hand, not two!"
