The "family responsibility system" has been implemented for a few days, and the effect... is better than nothing.
Ye Meier's so-called "responsibility for being beautiful and entertaining the public" is basically equivalent to continuing to be her internet-addicted girl and the top streamer who argues with people in the live broadcast room. Occasionally, when she is in a good mood, she will sweep the sunflower seed shells she produces into the trash can, which can be considered as participating in housework.
Ling Qingxue's "cultural development and environmental optimization" has indeed been put into practice.
Not only did she take good care of the pothos and spider plants, making them lush and green, but she also used her Taobao compass to rearrange the living room furniture, calling it "attracting good fortune and auspicious energy."
Zhang Shaozhong was forced to help move the sofa and TV cabinet for half a day, leaving him breathless with exhaustion. In the end, he discovered that the only significant change was that the Wi-Fi signal had deteriorated! The router had been moved to a corner!
"Fairy... before we optimize the environment next time, could you please consider the feelings of modern technological products?"
Zhang Shaozhong held the router with only one bar of signal left, on the verge of tears.
Ling Qingxue looked completely innocent: "The energy of this object clashes with that of the metal cabinet; it only finds peace here." She believed that the router's frequently flashing indicator lights were disrupting the "energy field"!
Zhang Shaozhong: "..." Well, it seems that this "cultural development" is a long and arduous task.
As for Zhang Shaozhong himself, after trying his best to practice the "laissez-faire" mental technique and avoid getting entangled in cultivation and income, he found that the wisp of chaotic energy... was still half-dead.
There's been no progress, but there's been no regression either; it's like an energy-saving light bulb that's been put into standby mode.
He could only console himself: stability is good, stability is good.
In the midst of this mundane routine, new business opportunities came knocking.
The caller was Mrs. Li, the "heartbroken mother" from before.
Her voice sounded much more relaxed than last time, but it still carried a hint of worry.
"Assistant Zhang, thank you so much! After listening to your advice last time, we adjusted our parenting methods for Xiao Hao, strictly controlled his gaming time, and took him out for more exercise. He's much better-tempered now, and he doesn't have many nightmares at night anymore!"
Zhang Shaozhong was delighted to hear this: "That's good! The child's healthy growth is more important than anything else."
"but……"
Mrs. Li changed the subject, then hesitated, "Recently, a new situation has arisen... Xiao Hao says he always 'sees' a young lady in white playing with him in the room and talking to him... At first, we thought he was just imagining things, but he described it in great detail, and... sometimes we also feel like there's someone else in the room, and it feels chilly... Assistant Zhang, do you think this might be... something that wasn't properly dealt with last time?"
Or perhaps, it provoked something else...?
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat. "The lady in white?"
"Feeling chilly?" This sounds much more mysterious than the internet addiction problem from last time!
He quickly reported the situation to the two bigwigs.
Upon hearing this, Ye Meier perked up again: "Oh? Miss in white? Sounds like a low-level wandering spirit or a bound spirit! I'm good at that! Maybe I can even capture her and question her!"
She rubbed her hands together excitedly, as if she had found a new toy.
Ling Qingxue, however, was more cautious: "Children's spiritual senses are not yet extinguished, and sometimes they can see what ordinary people cannot. However, not all of them are evil. We need to go and investigate in person to ascertain their true nature before making a decision."
Having learned from the previous experience, Zhang Shaozhong repeatedly confirmed the situation with Mrs. Li over the phone beforehand, emphasizing that their main focus was on "perception and consultation," and they could not guarantee that they could "exorcise evil spirits."
Mrs. Li now trusts them completely and keeps agreeing to their requests.
When I visited Mrs. Li's house again, the atmosphere was noticeably better than the last time.
Although Xiao Hao was still a bit thin, his eyes were much brighter. He no longer avoided them when he saw them, but instead looked at Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier with curiosity.
"Xiao Hao, tell me, what does that lady in white look like? What did she say to you?" Ye Meier tried her best to make her tone sound kind and friendly.
Xiao Hao glanced at his mother, and after receiving an encouraging look, whispered, "The older sister... was very fair-skinned, with long hair, and wore a white dress like in an ancient costume drama on TV... She didn't say anything, just looked at me and smiled. Sometimes when I was writing, she would point to the notebook... When I lost my old rag doll at home, she told me where to find it..."
Ling Qingxue listened quietly, her gaze slowly sweeping across the room before finally settling on an old bookshelf next to the desk.
She walked over and gently ran her fingers along the edge of the bookshelf.
“A faint trace of spiritual energy remains here.”
Ling Qingxue said softly, "It's not a malicious thought, but rather... it carries a hint of affection and protectiveness."
Mrs. Li exclaimed in surprise, "That bookshelf is an old item left by my grandmother! When we were little, my siblings and I all used this bookshelf!"
Ling Qingxue nodded: "I understand. This spirit is probably the spirit of one of your ancestors who died young, or someone who had a deep connection with this bookshelf. Because of its gentle nature and goodwill towards this family, it left a trace of attachment to this object."
Xiao Hao has a pure heart, which is why he was able to see this. He meant no harm; on the contrary, he seemed to be silently protecting the child.
Ye Meier also sensed it and pouted, "Indeed, it's very weak. It feels like a gust of wind could blow it away. It's just a powerless thought entity, not even a wandering soul. I guess it was because it saw that this kid wasn't in a good state recently and subconsciously wanted to keep him company."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly explained to Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li, based on our intuition, this shouldn't be a bad thing. It might be a memento left by an ancestor who cared about their family. Because Xiao Hao is quite sensitive, he can sense it. It seems she's still secretly helping Xiao Hao."
