Qing: Master, is it possible to make a video call at night or in the early hours of the morning? The situation here is a bit tricky.
Empty: This is a separate price~
Qing: Money is not a problem. As long as you can solve it, Master, money is negotiable. Do you have time? Could you come over for an on-site inspection?
Empty: Are they human traffickers?
The people on the other side were still very wary, and Shen Muqing couldn't help but laugh out loud. The people on the other side even understood the traffickers' tactics.
Qing: No, I found dozens of ghosts imprisoned inside a temple, and another one is imprisoned in front of a big tree at the entrance. Master, can you solve this?
Kong: I'm not bragging, but if it were any other scammer (not that I'm a scammer), they definitely wouldn't have been able to solve this, but you're lucky you met me—KongKong.
Qing: Empty?
Sora: You don't actually know me? Am I that famous already?
Qing: I don't know him.
Shen Muqing's fingers flew across the phone screen, accompanied by laughter.
Cang Jin leaned closer and asked unhappily, "Qingqing, who are you chatting with?"
He just started scrolling through his phone as soon as he got back, ignoring me completely. Cang Jin is about to cause trouble.
"Be good, stay here by yourself for a while. I'll find a master who can solve this problem."
Shen Muqing's eyes didn't leave the screen. She turned her head and kissed him, telling him to stay beside her.
"oh."
Then Cang Jin obediently sat down next to her and watched her chat with the person on her phone.
Empty: Two thousand in deposit, you pay for round-trip transportation, the balance will be settled depending on the situation, any overpayment will be refunded and any underpayment will be collected.
Qing: No problem, can you leave right away? Time is a bit tight, I'll send you the address.
Kong: Okay, I'll book the tickets right away.
For some reason, Shen Muqing trusted him a lot and felt that he could solve the problem, even though chatting with him on the phone didn't seem very reliable.
"We're saved, Azure Ashes! I met a master online who can break that barrier."
She happily shared the news with Cang Jin.
Are people online trustworthy?
"Never mind, let's try anything, even if it's a long shot."
Now that she had found the right person, Shen Muqing decided not to go to the ancestral hall tonight and would wait for the master to arrive.
She then contacted Sun Ning on her phone, telling her that Xiang Sui'an was indeed there and asking her to keep an eye on Zhou Linqian's movements.
To her surprise, Sun Ning replied that she was already on her way. Zhou Linqian was going to attend an event, and she told him that she was going on a trip.
Shen Muqing thought it was good; more people means more power.
Sun Ning said she was almost there and asked where Shen Muqing was.
Shen Muqing told her where he was and that he was waiting for her at the hotel, so she was no longer fighting alone.
That evening, Sun Ning arrived on time. She lived opposite Shen Muqing and couldn't wait to ask Shen Muqing after putting down her luggage.
"Was what you said on your phone just now true? You found Xiang Sui'an?"
She was very excited and wanted to hear it with her own ears.
"Yes, she is in the Zhou family ancestral hall, imprisoned there by Zhou Linqian."
"Dead, is that right?"
"Yes, she turned into a ghost."
Sun Ning was in tears, and the tears kept flowing. Shen Muqing was a little curious about her relationship with Xiang Sui'an and why she was so emotional.
Will I ever see her again?
"It should be possible." Shen Muqing handed her a bottle of mineral water. "What's your relationship with Xiang Sui'an?"
Sun Ning took the water from her, unscrewed the cap, drank a few sips, and then slowly spoke.
“I am her twin sister, Xiang Suining.”
"What?"
Shen Muqing couldn't believe her ears. How could twins look so different? She had seen what Xiang Sui'an looked like yesterday, and Sun Ning didn't resemble him at all.
“I was rebellious when I was young. I broke away from my family and went out to make my own way in the world as soon as I turned eighteen. My sister was with Zhou Linqian at that time.”
“Until I was 25, I couldn’t find my sister when I went home, and my parents had also passed away around that time.”
“I asked around in the village and found out that my sister died several years ago. She died of illness in the first year after she married Zhou Linqian.”
“I didn’t believe it, so I got plastic surgery and infiltrated Zhou Linqian’s inner circle.”
Her voice choked with sobs, breaking into broken sentences, "Now that I've finally found my sister, I know Zhou Linqian is no good person. He must be the one who killed my sister."
"I must make Zhou Linqian pay with his life to atone for my sister's sins."
Xiang Suining's eyes revealed hatred, as well as self-blame and regret.
If I had known, I would never have acted so recklessly as to abandon her sister and parents.
"Don't worry, justice will prevail, Zhou Linqian will be caught sooner or later." Shen Muqing comforted her. What a tragedy this family is. Damn Zhou Linqian, he turned a good family into this.
"I'll take you to find Xiang Sui'an."
"Okay, I want to go now." Xiang Suining couldn't wait any longer; it had been more than ten years since she had seen Xiang Suian.
"No, it's too early now. We can only go after midnight."
Shen Muqing stopped her, saying it was only eight o'clock and there were still people on the street.
"Go back to your room, wash up, and get some sleep. I'll wake you up at midnight."
"Okay." Xiang Suining could only listen to Shen Muqing and went back to her room to wash up.
After she left, Shen Muqing said to Cang Jin, "How melodramatic! Zhou Linqian, that scoundrel."
Cang Jin looked disdainful after hearing this, "I could crush this kind of person with one hand. I would never let him have a chance to live."
Women are soft-hearted. If he were Xiang Sui'an, he would drag Zhou Linqian down to hell with him no matter what.
"Of course you can do that in your cultivation world, but have you forgotten what Zhou Linqian did to you recently?"
A hint of unease flashed across Cang Jin's face as he tried to defend himself.
"That was my carelessness. If he had left any later, he would have become a victim of my sword."
"Yes, yes, yes, our Cang Jin is the most powerful man in the world." Shen Muqing flattered him with a smile.
"Hmph, of course."
Cang Jin crossed his arms in front of his chest, his arrogant expression looking down upon the world.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to take a shower."
"I want to shower too, let's shower together."
"Get lost, you ghost, what are you taking a bath for?"
Shen Muqing was speechless. It was absurd; he had never heard of ghosts needing to take baths.
"I like."
"I like you my foot! Get out and keep watch at the door. Tell me if anyone comes."
"oh."
Originally, Shen Muqing only asked Cang Jin to watch the door symbolically, but no one came to find Shen Muqing so late at night.
Shen Muqing was getting dressed in the bathroom when she heard knocking on the door, one after another.
"Cang Jin, you're not allowed to open the door, understand?" Shen Muqing quickly put on her clothes.
The knocking on the door continued relentlessly.
"Wait, it's here!"
Cang Jin stood at the door, and Shen Muqing opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a stranger, a young man who looked underage and had delicate features.
If you ignore his deliberately serious expression and his extremely tattered clothes, Shen Muqing could barely call him a handsome guy.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Are you Qing? I am Kong."
As soon as the commotion of his death came out, Shen Muqing knew who he was, because he spoke in a strange way.
"master?"
"I dare not accept such praise."
Kong Kong was still somewhat modest; compared to his unrestrained personality online, he appeared quite quiet at this moment.
"Come in, Master."
Shen Muqing stepped aside to let her in. He hadn't expected him to be so quick; he thought he would have to wait a few more days.
Kongkong was also carrying a large bag. As soon as he entered the room, his gaze fell on Cangjin at the door.
"What's wrong with the master?"
"You raise ghosts too? And he's so handsome. But you should still avoid contact with him."
"Master, you can see him?" Shen Muqing pointed at Cang Jin. So he was the real master.
"certainly."
A matter-of-fact expression appeared on his blank, clean face. Isn't that normal?
He's a big guy there, and he's not blind.
"Cang Jin is not a ghost. You might not believe it if I told you, Master."
"The world is full of wonders, so what's there to believe or not believe?"
"As expected of a master, but how did you know I was in this room?"
Cang Jin walked towards Shen Muqing and stood behind him. He was hostile to this young man, especially since he dared to make Qingqing stay away from him.
"Forget it."
"ox."
Suddenly, a foul stench assaulted the senses. Shen Muqing followed the smell and discovered it was coming from Kongkong.
She held her breath silently, but her words were anything but polite.
"Master, did you poop your pants?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Kong Kong's face. He took off his bag and took out a chicken from inside. Yes, it was a chicken, a rooster.
"It's not me, it's it."
The stench was even stronger when the bag containing the chicken was taken out; Shen Muqing took a few steps back.
"Master, why are you bringing chickens? There's food here."
"Ignorant fool, this chicken has many uses, it's not for eating."
Kongkong also picked it up with a hint of disdain, saying, "Just bear with it, it'll come in handy tonight."
“But Master, you also sell chickens here, why did you bring them all the way here?”
"You don't understand, this chicken is the essence of heaven and earth, it's extremely precious."
"All right."
Shen Muqing didn't quite understand what the chicken was for, but since the master said it was useful, then it must be useful.
"Master, can we leave at noon?"
"Okay, this is a good time." Kongkong swallowed. "Do you have any water to drink?"
"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you."
For the rest of the time, Shen Muqing and the other two played Dou Dizhu (a card game) in the room, and the losers had to put stickers on their faces.
Originally, the stickers couldn't be applied, but Kongkong somehow managed to stick them on his face.
Shen Muqing suddenly had a thought. "Master, may I touch him?"
"Okay," Kongkong said, taking out a talisman of unknown origin from his cloth bag. Just as Shen Muqing was about to take it, Kongkong withdrew his hand, indicating that he wanted to pay.
"One thousand per piece."
"OK."
Shen Muqing readily agreed, "I'll settle it with you all at once."
"How generous! Buy one get one free, I'll give you an extra one."
Shen Muqing obtained the talisman as she wished and immediately affixed it to Cang Jin's body; to the naked eye, there was no visible change.
She tentatively reached out and touched Cang Jin's abs; they were hard and cold.
"Huh? It really works! Let's get started!"
The three of them played Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) happily for several hours, while Cang Jin's face was covered in stickers, and he was the only one who was injured in the world.
Cang Jin wasn't very familiar with the rules of Dou Dizhu and kept losing. Neither Shen Muqing nor Kong Kong wanted to be in a group with him because they knew they would lose.
"Cang Jin, hurry up and play your card!"
Shen Muqing's hands wandered all over Cang Jin's body, finally getting his fill of touching him.
"Qingqing," Cang Jin called out to Shen Muqing expressionlessly.
"Stop cheating, hurry up and pay up. Playing the emotional card won't work."
......
As expected, Shen Muqing won again.
"Hahahaha, I won! Come on, Cangjin, I'll give you another one."
Cang Jin's face was already covered with stickers, and there were quite a few on his otherwise empty face, but Shen Muqing's face had very few stickers.
Happy times always pass too quickly, and before we knew it, it was midnight.
The knocking sounded right on time; it was undoubtedly Xiang Suining.
"Time's up, let's go!"
With the defecating chicken in his empty hands and a large bag on his back, Shen Muqing was carefree and happy.
A group of three people plus a ghost were walking down the street.
When Kongkong stood outside the ancestral hall, he was shocked by the intense ghostly aura. He couldn't believe there was such a place in the world with such a strong ghostly atmosphere.
Under that big tree, Xiang Sui'an's figure appeared just as it had last night.
Xiang Suining spotted the familiar figure at a glance, rushed over, and shouted, "Sister!"
Kongkong walked around the ancestral hall, observing the barrier.
"Who are you?" Xiang Sui'an didn't quite recognize Xiang Suining; she only remembered Shen Muqing from yesterday.
"Sister, it's me, Ningning!"
After settling in, Xiang Sui suddenly remembered something and became excited, "You're Ningning? How come you look so different?"
"elder sister!"
The two sisters embraced and wept under the tree, their tears filled with sorrow.
Seeing this, Shen Muqing did not linger there, not wanting to disturb the two sisters' reminiscing. She chased after the empty figure.
"Master, is there a solution?"
Kongkong's expression was solemn, and he remained silent.
Shen Muqing: "Master? No way, is the person behind Zhou Linqian that powerful?"
"Of course it can be solved. I'm just wondering how such a vicious formation could exist." Kongkong looked at the magnificent ancestral hall.
"This must be a formation that steals other people's luck. The soul of the person whose luck was stolen is imprisoned here, eating the incense offered to them, immortal and indestructible, unable to be reincarnated."
"As time goes by, resentment naturally grows stronger."
"What a vicious mind."
Is there really a way to steal someone else's luck in this world?
Shen Muqing found it unbelievable; it was too fantastical.
"I've said before that the world is full of wonders, and if you believe it, then it exists."
"So Zhou Linqian became so famous by stepping on other people's corpses; he truly rose to power by stepping on human lives."
So many lives were killed without batting an eye? Just for one's own selfish desires, it's terrifying.
"Ordinary people spend their whole lives pursuing nothing more than money, power, and influence, and naturally some people lose their way in the process."
Kong Kong was not surprised; he had seen many villains, and Zhou Lin was just one of them.
"Master, can you save them? Send them to be reincarnated."
"Sure, we'll leave it free. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"Master, you are truly great!"
"No, no," Kongkong said, scratching his head and smiling sheepishly.
"Master, could you give me a discount? How about 50% off?"
Kongkong immediately stopped smiling. "Do you want a fracture?"
"Never mind, never mind, I was just joking with you, Master of Jokes. Look at you."
