Kuang Wu stammered, then lifted a corner of his basket, revealing the fabric inside, along with a thermos and other items.
"He asked me to find these things to prepare as wedding gifts, saying that he has many nephews and grandnephews, and quite a few of them are getting married, so I should find a way to get these for him."
I finally managed to gather enough tickets from my family and friends to bring down for him, but I couldn't find him here.
However, it would be a breach of trust for me to carry it back like this, since he had already given me a deposit.
Since you're his niece anyway, why don't you handle the rest of the deal?
These words pleased Xu Damei greatly, and she immediately agreed with a smile.
Xu Damei was naturally unwilling to miss out on getting so many good things at such a low price.
As for the loopholes in the other party's words, Xu Damei was not unaware of them, but the benefits were real, so who would care about so much?
They invited people into the main room, bringing water and wild fruits, showing their great hospitality.
Kuang Wu subtly extracted some information from the conversation between the two.
He had previously disregarded the sorceresses in the county town, but he never expected to be outmaneuvered this time.
He had wondered before if the sorceress might also be involved in breaking the formation.
He did try to find out more, but it seemed that the other party had only ever dealt with things like infantile night crying, and probably didn't have that much ability.
As for the mystics of this land, in the past ten years or so, apart from a few ancient sects that are still in seclusion in the deep mountains, the other small and medium-sized sects have either been destroyed or gone overseas.
“The sorceresses here are really amazing,” Kuang Wu said, taking out the items and handing them to Xu Damei. “Many of them in our area are just scammers. They take the money, but often the things they do don’t get done.”
Xu Damei held Wu Shenpo in high esteem. "No way, Wu Shenpo has lived in the end of the county for so many years, and we are used to asking her for help whenever we have any problems."
If you have any strange problems, you can also go to her for advice.
Xu Damei was in a good mood after getting so many items at such a low price, so she talked even more.
"If you had come a few days earlier, you might have run into us, but it doesn't matter. We're not far from the end of the county. Just ask around there; many people know about us."
Kuang Wu thanked him repeatedly, then asked, "Is this the only powerful witch doctor here? Are there any other powerful masters?"
“I’ve never heard of that before,” Xu Damei put the things in the cabinet, went back to her room, took out the money and handed it to Kuang Wu. “If you count this money and it’s correct, I’m going to get to work.”
Kuang Wu took it without counting it and put it directly into his pocket. "I trust your character. It's just that I had a connection with your uncle before, and I don't know where his grave is. I'll go take a look."
Xu Damei rolled her eyes inwardly, she had never seen so much stuff before, and casually pointed to the hillside not far away and said, "Go look there, it's a new grave, it's easy to spot."
After saying that, she acted as if she was seeing him off. Kuang Wu knew that he couldn't get any more information from her, so he simply picked up his basket and left.
It's lunchtime now, and there's no one on the village roads.
He did not walk in the direction Xu Damei pointed, but instead returned to the ruins of Xu Youzhi's house.
The villagers are really heartless; they demolish perfectly good houses just like that, and he can't find any clues even if he wants to.
But things started here. The people here should know something. He thought about going to the end of the county to find that witch doctor, but he was afraid of alerting her.
The houses here were really thoroughly demolished; even the mud bricks were smashed. I wonder if the broken jade stones he set up back then were picked up.
Despite being a spiritual practitioner, he was still poor...
Ren Jinpeng and his group hid under the trees on the back mountain, watching this scene. After watching for so many days, they finally got to see the main character.
But now that the sun is high in the sky, they don't dare to step out of the shade of the tree to find the master, and can only anxiously stomp their feet in place.
Now that the person has arrived, they have no way to notify him, and they don't know when the master will realize something is wrong.
They kept the master's instructions firmly in mind: their opponent was also a cultivator, and they certainly had no chance of winning.
Kuang Wu searched through the ruins for a while, but eventually gave up. It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to go to northern Myanmar. His master had left him with little supplies, and he couldn't do anything without replenishing them.

Wu Chenxi had already made some changes to the formations around the house these past few days, so she wasn't too surprised to see Kuang Wu.
However, the opponent's cultivation level was much lower than expected. When did Lingmeng Island become so destitute?
I heard that their formations are mainly based on fantasy and dream creation. I wonder how much this kid has actually learned.
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but his face remained impassive. "Tell me, what is it?"
Her cultivation level had long been disguised. In Kuang Wu's view, she was only a second-level Celestial Master. At such an advanced age, she probably couldn't have reached the middle level.
He couldn't help but feel a little proud in front of his peers. Although his master had passed away early and he had been cultivating for so long with many setbacks, he was much more confident than these rogue cultivators.
"Are you the witch doctor?"
Wu Chenxi was even more disappointed. Was this the kind of behavior the disciples of a major sect were in?
"You've come all this way here, and you still don't know who this old woman is?" she retorted rudely. "If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave as soon as possible."
"I heard you're quite capable, and recently you solved a huge problem for a nearby village." Kuang Wu felt that since the other party's cultivation level was so low, there was no need for him to be polite to her. "I just don't understand why you let people demolish their houses when they were perfectly fine?"
Over the years, he has helped many people. It's not that no one has sought out Taoist practitioners to solve their problems, but in the end, they all returned empty-handed. In this remote place, how could a mere sorceress possess such abilities?
The witch doctor asked, "Who do I ask to demolish the house?"
"Xu Youzhi's house in Qianjin Village." Seeing that the other party's cultivation level was so low, Kuang Wu decided to ask her first. He would then set up a few trapping formations on the house so that she wouldn't go around spreading rumors.
"Where did you say?" Wu Chenxi finally looked up at him. "What's your relationship with Qianjin Village? Are you here to deliver payment?"
It's only right that we should give him a reward. This kid set up the formation and made the trip himself, so we should give him something in return.
Kuang Wu said, "Don't play dumb here. I am also a cultivator. I hope you will tell me the truth: how did you know how to break the formation?"
"So you're a cultivator? Why didn't you introduce yourself first?" Wu Chenxi said with a look of disdain, deliberately chatting with him and teasing him. "I don't know about breaking the formation or anything, I just feel that the vengeful spirit is restless, so I want to teach it a lesson."
Who knew that by sheer chance, the problem would actually be solved.
What? They asked you to do something too? These people really have no sense of propriety; don't they know not to trouble two clients for the same task?
