Chapter 40 The Lion Opens His Mouth
But the glance was fleeting.
Xie Jingling didn't notice.
"Xiaoxuan, is this the Master Zhu you mentioned?" Xie Jingling looked at Zhu Guangzhi secretly.
Sun Xiaoxuan took his hand and raised a soft smile at the corner of her lips.
"Yes, I found out about Master Zhu after asking around. I heard he's amazing at exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts. I'm so happy to have him!"
Xie Jingling nodded slightly towards Zhu Guangzhi, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Zhu."
"I don't deserve the honor. I only speak based on my ability."
Zhu Guangzhi raised his chin proudly, looking like a master.
"Alright, enough nonsense, take me to your room so I can officially start exorcising the ghost. Your wife is carrying a lot of ghost energy. If we don't take measures, I'm afraid she and the child in her belly will not be able to be saved."
This is a bit serious.
Xie Jingling hurriedly led the way.
"Okay, your wife can go in, and Mr. Xie can just wait outside."
When they reached the door of the room, Zhu Guangzhi stood in front of Xie Jingling who wanted to go in with him.
Xie Jingling frowned, "Can't I go in together?"
"Of course not!" Zhu Guangzhi shook his head solemnly, his voice stern, "What do you think you're doing? I'm trying to help your wife get rid of the evil spirit in her body. What are you, a mortal, doing in there? If I delay the exorcism, will it be your fault or mine?"
"Okay Jing Ling, I know you are worried about me. It's okay. Master Zhu is here. He is very powerful and will definitely protect me." Sun Xiaoxuan quickly comforted him.
Xie Jingling pulled her, "Then you have to be careful."
"Yeah, okay." Sun Xiaoxuan curled her lips, "I will take good care of myself and our baby."
Finally, Sun Xiaoxuan and Zhu Guangzhi entered the house together.
The door is closed.
Xie Jingling stood nervously in the corridor, constantly looking towards the door.
Sun Xiaoxuan's screams could be heard from the room from time to time, making him extremely upset and anxious.
After an agonizing hour, the door banged open from the inside.
Zhu Guangzhi came out panting, holding on to the door frame, slightly bent over and breathing heavily.
Seeing this, Xie Jingling rushed into the room without asking him what happened.
Sun Xiaoxuan walked towards him with a tired look on her face, and threw herself into his arms excitedly.
"Jing Ling, wuwuwu, I really saw that ghost. He was so scary. He said he wanted to eat me and our baby. Luckily, Master Zhu is very powerful and beat him away."
"Don't be too happy too soon."
As soon as Sun Xiaoxuan finished speaking, Zhu Guangzhi stood up and looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
"This evil spirit was only driven away temporarily."
"What do you mean?" Xie Jingling pursed his lips.
Zhu Guangzhi frowned, "The evil spirit that's seeking your wife's life is extremely powerful and very difficult to deal with. It's the most difficult and terrifying evil spirit I've ever encountered. I used up all my strength just now to severely injure it, but I didn't completely destroy it. If I want to completely eliminate it from your wife's body, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
"Then please ask Master Zhu for help."
Hearing Zhu Guangzhi's serious words, Xie Jingling's mood also became heavy.
"It's okay to help, but..."
"But what?"
"The price we agreed on was too low. We have to raise the price."
"Is fifty million not enough?" Xie Jingling looked a little ugly.
We had clearly agreed on this beforehand, why did you suddenly change your mind?
Zhu Guangzhi snorted coldly, "Are you kidding me? Fifty million? If it was just an ordinary ghost, I would have no problem charging you fifty million. But the ghost in your wife's body is no ordinary ghost. It is a powerful and fierce ghost. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Just seriously injuring it just now has already consumed a lot of my cultivation. If I want to completely eradicate it, I will have to use all my strength to deal with it!"
"Then how much does Master Zhu want?"
"At least 250 million, not a cent less."
"Master Zhu, your request is too high." Xie Jingling's face darkened instantly.
"What do you mean by asking for too much? Do you know what I'll have to pay to get rid of this evil spirit?" Zhu Guangzhi snorted heavily. "If I get rid of him, I'll probably lose half my life. After that, I'll have to recuperate at home for at least three years, and I'll also need to buy all kinds of precious medicinal herbs to regulate my body. Do you still think my price is high?"
If Miss Sun wasn't the daughter of a former benefactor and friend of mine, do you think I would be willing to meddle in your trivial affairs?
If you really think it's too high, then seek help from someone else!"
After saying this, Zhu Guangzhi smiled coldly and walked away.
"Hey, Master Zhu, please stay!"
Sun Xiaoxuan hurried forward and grabbed the person.
Then, she ran to Xie Jingling and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Jing Ling, we have invited two masters before, but it was useless. The evil spirit comes to find me every night. I am really scared.
If I were alone, I would die and it wouldn't matter to me.
But now I have you and our baby, I really can't bear to leave you.
I just saw Master Zhu's abilities with my own eyes. He is really powerful, and he really used up all his strength to deal with the evil spirit. He was very tired and hard-working. The master also said that the commission he collected would be used to buy medicinal herbs to regulate his body. I think this is understandable.
If you really think 250 million is too much, then I'll lend it to you, okay?
When my dad's company's funds are flowing smoothly, I'll ask him for it and return it to you, okay?"
Seeing that Sun Xiaoxuan was shaking with fear and crying, looking so weak and helpless, what else could Xie Jingling say?
He looked at Zhu Guangzhi and said, "Okay, as long as Master Zhu can completely get rid of the evil spirit in my wife, I will give you every penny of the 250 million."
After Zhu Guangzhi left, Sun Xiaoxuan leaned in Xie Jingling's arms.
"Jing Ling, you are so nice to me~"
Xie Jingling rubbed her head and said, "Silly girl, you are the one I love and the mother of my child. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
"Can you please not tell Mom and Tongtong about this for now?" Sun Xiaoxuan said hesitantly.
Xie Jingling raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"Last time you gave money to my dad, Mom already had an issue with it." Sun Xiaoxuan's voice was low. "If she knew we were going to need so much money this time, she would definitely be angry. Let's not tell her yet and talk about it later, okay?"
Xie Jingling nodded, "Okay."
What Sun Xiaoxuan said makes sense.
If his mother knew, she would definitely make a big fuss.
It’s better not to let her know about this for the time being.
However, 250 million is not a small amount.
He had to think carefully about how to come up with so much cash at once.
Xie Jingling felt a little heavy.
Seeing Xie Jingling agree, Sun Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She called Zhu Guangzhi over today because Zhao Mei was not at home.
Fortunately, Zhao Mei was not at home, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly.
