Chapter 143 The City Lord's Son Encounters a Ghost
Lord Tang said, "Don't interrupt, let Master Yu continue."
Mrs. Tang rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more.
"In the Four Symbols of Feng Shui, the White Tiger represents the west and has a murderous aura, which is associated with injury and danger. Your study is located in the west, which can easily bring accidents and health problems to your family. There is a saying that 'the White Tiger devours its master.' If there is not enough energy in the house to suppress the ferocity of the tiger, then the evil energy will harm the people living here, especially the male head of the household."
Upon hearing this, Lord Tang exclaimed excitedly, "Master Yu, I had nightmares all night yesterday, with a ghost relentlessly chasing me. Could this be related to that too?"
Yu Xiaoluo nodded. "Take a look. This tiger is no ordinary tiger. It has a fierce aura and its eyes are filled with malice. It is a hungry tiger coming down from the mountain. Hanging such a painting at home will cause unrest in the household. This is a major taboo."
Lord Tang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took the portrait down, telling his wife to take it outside and burn it later.
Mrs. Tang asked, "Master Yu, what kind of paintings would be suitable to display in the home?"
"Gentle white cranes, fine horses, as well as flower and bird paintings and koi carp paintings—these are all pleasing to the eye and are all acceptable."
Lord Tang was now beginning to believe Yu Xiaoluo's words. "Master, this painting was given to me by Mo Qunfei. Could he really be trying to harm me? He even commissioned a highly respected painter to paint it for me. Could it have been unintentional?"
It seems he still doesn't quite believe that Mo Qunfei would harm him.
Madam Tang suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, he brought some gifts yesterday and asked me for Old Tang's birth date and time. He said his wife is going to Mount Putuo soon to pray for their family. He also wanted to pray for Old Tang, wishing him a smooth career and good health."
Both Lord Tang and Yu Xiaoluo's expressions changed simultaneously. "You really gave him your birth date and time?"
Mrs. Tang looked aggrieved. "Yes, I didn't think that much. Oh, and he also went into Old Tang's study, saying that Old Tang asked him to bring a document."
At this moment, Lord Tang completely believed Yu Xiaoluo's words and could no longer restrain himself from maintaining his image as a city lord, cursing loudly, "When did I ever ask him to bring anything! I haven't contacted him for days! What did he want to do by sneaking into my study! That heartless bastard Mo Qunfei, he got to where he is now entirely thanks to me, and I never expected him to be so ambitious and treacherous, actually trying to kill me."
Madam Tang was also furious. "What exactly is Mo Qunfei trying to do, wanting Old Tang's birth date and time and sneaking into the study?!"
She didn't know that Lord Tang had almost died today; otherwise, she really would have stormed into his house and fought him.
Yu Xiaoluo said meaningfully, "This White Tiger painting is just a seasoning. He wants Lord Tang's birth date and time, and he may even be looking for Lord Tang's hair or nails in the study. Lord Tang, if you don't break this calamity, your life is over."
Lord Tang was both angry and heartbroken. He and his wife were very anxious. "Master, what should we do now?"
"Master Yu, I'll do whatever you say." This time, City Lord Tang was completely obedient.
Yu Xiaoluo stepped out of the room and set up a protective array around the house. After finishing, she came in and said, "Don't go anywhere these next few days. Just stay at home. I've set up an array, so as long as you don't go out, you'll be safe."
She then explained her plan, and Lord Tang nodded solemnly.
Now, he completely trusts Yu Xiaoluo. Before leaving, Yu Xiaoluo gave him a talisman, and his family also gave him one.
"Remember, you must keep it on your person and never leave it behind."
"Okay, thank you, Master."
After watching Yu Xiaoluo leave, Madam Tang looked at the extra amulet in her hand and said with some concern, "How about I take it to my son? Tell him to go to the teleportation room during break to get it, and make sure he takes it with him."
Lord Tang sighed. "He's at school, and they don't allow cell phones there, so we can't communicate with him. Besides, if you suddenly give him this, do you think he'll take it? Students these days don't believe in these things; they'll probably just throw it away. We should talk to him properly when he gets home tonight, do some serious talking to him, and then let him take it."
Mrs. Tang thought her husband's words made sense. She figured what could possibly happen to the child while he was at school, so she didn't think much of it. She would have the driver pick him up after school that evening and then have a proper talk with him.

Shangguan Peiyu looked at the puppet, which was still intact, and then at the news, and was furious. "It's still alive? That shouldn't be the case."
She took out a needle and stabbed it hard into the puppet, but it was bounced back by a powerful force. She was terrified. What was going on?
Someone was protecting Tang Changjun, and that person's cultivation level was not low, not below his own.
She frowned, deep in thought, when Mo Qunfei called to question her, "Miss Shangguan, why is there still no news? I heard that Tang Changjun escaped this morning and has been staying home on leave for the past few days. Let me tell you, you must get this sorted out within three days, otherwise, our cooperation will be canceled."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Unfortunately, the male demon has not returned yet. If he were here, he could cultivate with her and improve her cultivation level. He could also lend her a helping hand.
However, there's nothing that can be done now.
She glanced at the black-clad ghost beside her; it was a ghost she had recently raised, and its cultivation was still quite advanced.
"Go to Tang Changjun's house first and see if you can kill him."
The black-clad ghost responded and disappeared, only to return shortly afterward. "I can't enter his house; his house has a powerful array."
A formation? No wonder I couldn't even prick Tang Changjun with a needle. It seems he really has the help of a master, and this person is very likely Yu Xiaoluo!
Because now, people like Yao Qingfeng and Chi Shangxing are no match for her, as their cultivation levels are all below hers.
Her gaze turned cold, a playful smile playing on her lips. "Doesn't he have a son in school? Since we can't get in, let's lure him out."

Tang Chengcheng was sitting in the classroom, diligently writing his test paper, when he suddenly felt that the air around him was a bit cold.
He thought it was a mosquito nearby, so he casually slapped his neck. Unexpectedly, it made a crisp sound, startling the students next to him. They all looked over, and the teacher also looked over, but didn't say anything.
Tang Chengcheng felt a little embarrassed, but he really felt a bit cold. His deskmate next to him was also a little cold, but because of the exam, he didn't dare to say anything and silently put on the coat hanging next to the desk.
