Chapter 25 No one survived.



Xinghe said, "The health talisman has limited effects. It can only soothe muscles, regulate Qi, and enhance the body's resistance. For serious illnesses, you still need to go to the hospital."

Zhong Guofu nodded happily, "I remember everything you said before, Fairy."

To him now, everything Xinghe said was like a sacred decree.

He nodded quickly, determined to remember every word Xinghe said.

When Xinghe and the others arrived at Boss Qian's house, Boss Qian was warmly receiving a man dressed in a yellow Taoist robe.

The man appeared to be in his forties, with a serious expression, holding a whisk and a compass in his hand.

The two also noticed Xinghe and Zhong Guofu. Boss Qian frowned and subconsciously glanced at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest asked solemnly, "Who are these two?"

Before Xinghe and the others could answer, Boss Qian said, "Master Kang, these are friends from a prominent family. They've never seen anything like this before and wanted to come and see."

He secretly winked at Xinghe and Zhong Guofu.

Master Kang stroked his whisk. “What do you take this for? Child’s play? This is a matter of life and death.”

He turned his face away, and his gaze toward Xinghe and the other person was not friendly.

Xinghe said lazily, "It is said that the people of the Heavenly Sect can communicate with ghosts and gods and are the most powerful Taoist sect. I have been very interested in Taoist mysticism since I was a child. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see it today."

Mr. Qian was sweating profusely with anxiety. He whispered to Master Kang, “This niece from a prominent family wants to come and visit. I can’t refuse her directly. I know it’s against the rules. Master, please rest assured, I’m willing to contribute an extra five million to renovate the temple after it’s done.”

Mr. Qian harbored some resentment towards Xinghe and the other person, but since they were already there, he couldn't simply kick them out.

Master Kang nodded and said, "Good."

"Since the kind person has said so, let's not delay any longer and begin."

Mr. Qian nodded repeatedly.

Master Kang glanced at Xinghe and Zhong Guofu out of the corner of his eye, a hint of barely perceptible arrogance and disdain hidden within.

He flicked his whisk, muttered incantations, and held the compass in his hands. Suddenly, the compass began to spin rapidly.

He deliberately showed off, explaining as he walked, "The mountain peak to the east of the house is high and quiet, occupying the Azure Dragon position. The Azure Dragon governs power and career. The living room is long with the dragon and short with the tiger, and the courtyard gathers wind and water, attracting wealth from all directions. The layout of the entire house is wonderful. I suppose the kind person invited a master to oversee the construction of this house."

Mr. Qian nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining brightly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Master Kang raised his chin even higher, "After the benevolent person moved in, their business began to flourish, and the company continued to expand."

Mr. Qian was extremely excited, "Yes, yes, the Taoist priest is truly a god."

Master Kang said, “It’s only recently that strange things have been happening in my home. It has nothing to do with the house. In my opinion, it’s just that the evil energy is clashing with the Grand Duke Jupiter, and we’ve offended the Grand Duke Jupiter.”

"Ha." Xinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jade Maiden pressed her cheek against Xinghe's, her cheeks puffed out. "I thought he was someone with some skill, but this is all? I could tell something was wrong. What 'offending the Grand Duke Jupiter'? Is this all the Heavenly Sect is capable of?"

Xinghe's laughter drew the attention of Master Kang, who glared at Xinghe angrily. "What different opinion does this kind-hearted person have?"

Xinghe's kitten eyes curved into crescents. "The Taoist priest is right. The feng shui of this house is indeed excellent."

Master Kang glanced at Xinghe, not wanting to have any more conversation with him.

Xinghe didn't mind, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "I wonder what Daoist Master plans to do about this evil energy?"

Master Kang said, "It's just a mere aura of malevolence." He put away the compass and took out a peach wood sword.

This Taoist priest was only half-baked in metaphysics, but he did have some treasures on him: a compass and a peach wood sword, both of which were quite good.

Master Kang continued chanting incantations, reciting a long string of exorcism spells, before shouting loudly, "Break!"

A sudden gust of wind blew through the room, causing the hems of their clothes to flutter.

Boss Qian's eyes lit up even more, and his gaze toward Master Kang was filled with admiration and respect, causing him to bow even lower.

Master Kang stroked his whisk, looking like a highly accomplished monk, and said, "Alright, the evil spirits have been removed."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Kang. I have had some tea and water prepared. Please move to the restaurant."

Mr. Qian bowed and scraped, his face full of gratitude.

A faint question mark appeared on Xinghe's face.

"No need for any checks? That's it?"

Master Kang's face fell immediately. "It was just a small wisp of evil energy. I've already eliminated it. What more do you want?"

"There are sixty-eight types of malevolent energy, and each type requires a different method to dispel it. Can a simple exorcism incantation resolve all malevolent energy?"

When these things were mentioned, Xinghe's smile faded considerably.

She had long known that the Xuanmen sect was declining and Taoism was in decline; nowadays, most of those on the streets who claimed to be Taoist were fraudsters.

She thought that the Heavenly Sect must have some ability to receive so much praise, but Xinghe was really disappointed.

Master Kang's expression changed several times, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xinghe. "It seems that you also know some Taoist things, but if you can give guidance to seniors just by reading a few books, then you are being too arrogant."

Master Kang pointed the finger at Boss Qian, saying, "I originally thought that the kind man was someone who knew the rules."

He glanced at Xinghe from head to toe, his disdain barely concealed. "Since you trust this young friend more, let him handle it. You won't need to trouble the Heavenly Sect with your future matters."

He flicked his Taoist robe and walked away.

Mr. Qian hurriedly chased after him, "Master Kang, please wait! I really didn't invite them over today. Please let me explain."

"Wait a minute." Xinghe's voice was unreadable. "You took someone's money to solve their problems, and you just took tens of millions and left like this?"

Master Kang glared at Boss Qian. This kind of thing was a secret in the industry, and he didn't expect Boss Qian to tell the young girl in front of him.

Mr. Qian was also completely baffled. He hadn't told anyone about this, so how did Xinghe know?

Master Kang's voice was cold and hard, "Little girl, are you really going to argue with me today? My Heavenly Sect is not one that just anyone can attack."

Xinghe, "Are you sure all the evil energy has been removed? Is this house safe?"

"yes!"

Xinghe raised his hand, "To be unable to discern evil spirits or completely eliminate them is a grave taboo."

“I guarantee that if we handle it this way, none of the thirteen members of the Qian family will survive tonight.”

Master Kang chuckled and said sarcastically, "I wonder what gives this young friend the right to say such things? To curse someone for personal gain is to be sent to the Hell of Tongue-Pulling."

She's a girl who hasn't even grown up yet, I don't know where she gets her confidence from.
