"I think... it's worth a try!" Anyway, let this charlatan stay in that valley for forty-nine days, it won't bother him.
Master Guangyi, who only understood Luo Dangdang's request, immediately nodded, and, maintaining his Taoist demeanor, added in a pretentious manner:
"This method sounds simple, but to succeed, you need the right timing, the right location, and the right people. It's difficult, very difficult..." He sighed and shook his head seriously.
Xuan Di glanced at Daoist Guang Yi and gave a cold laugh.
However, Master Guangyi's pretense inadvertently helped Luo Dangdang.
Upon hearing this, Luo Dangdang immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! Right now, the resentment of the children who died tragically in that cave is overflowing, making it the perfect place to cast a spell. The location is already favorable, and according to my calculations, the timing is perfect. All that's left is the right people..."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately asked, "What kind of people does Daoist Luo need?"
Luo Dangdang's eyes immediately lit up with a fawning smile as she glanced at the chubby little dumpling happily nestled in Zhuangyou's arms, eating soup.
"This... is naturally from Cha Nian Xiao Shang—"
"cough."
Just as Luo Dangdang finished speaking, a barely audible cough came from beside him. He glanced over out of the corner of his eye and was caught off guard by a pair of sharp, icy eyes. Startled, he quickly shut his mouth and changed what he was saying.
"Um, of course Dangdang is a little princess!" Luo Dangdang's heart pounded in fright. Suddenly, she remembered that everyone in the palace called this little princess "little princess," and she quickly put her knowledge into practice.
Huo Chengche frowned and shot a sharp glare at him.
What's wrong with everyone? They suddenly set their sights on his little cutie and made her a target with just a few words.
However, Luo Dangdang, a Taoist priest completely lacking in worldly wisdom, didn't possess the worldly sophistication that Master Guangyi had acquired. When Huo Chengche suddenly glared at him, he trembled in fright, but his face remained utterly bewildered.
Why is this kid glaring at me? Oh my, that look is terrifying! This kid definitely has a powerful background; I can't mess with him, I can't mess with him…
Luo Dangdang met Huo Chengche's unfriendly expression, gave a sheepish laugh, and quickly looked away. But she had barely escaped Huo Chengche's clutches when she ran into Xuan Di's murderous gaze once again.
Luo Dangdang shuddered violently in fright.
"Niannian? Niannian is only three years old. What can she do to help the Taoist priest?" The Empress Dowager's questioning voice rang out at this moment.
When asked, Luo Dangdang explained without hesitation, "Because the spiritual energy required to return these vengeful infants to their mothers' wombs is beyond the reach of a Taoist priest of my level, I need to borrow some—"
"cough!"
Xuan Di was so angry at Luo Dangdang's unrestrained speech that he wanted to slap his head off.
Fortunately, Luo Dangdang was so frightened by the threatening cough that she immediately shut up.
Xuandi's face darkened. To prevent this fool from saying anything more, he had no choice but to speak up himself, suppressing his anger to smooth things over for him, "The Daoist's explanation is so profound that even the Empress Dowager wouldn't understand. Why not try a simpler way of explaining it?"
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was already dizzy from Luo Dangdang's words and didn't pay attention to these details. Instead, she was quite willing to ask, "Oh? How do you want to explain? Tell me?"
In fact, Xuandi also really wanted someone to tell him how he should explain things.
Although he appeared calm, he hadn't yet come up with an explanation.
But coincidentally, there really was someone who could tell him.
