Chapter 31 The so-called master can slay demons and exorcise ghosts, and also has the ability to predict the future.
Su Zhengguo knew that if Shen Yuepo hadn't intervened, the Su family would have faced annihilation.
He strode forward and stood before Shen Yuepo, his eyes open and resolute:
“Little master, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Please take the promised golden light of merit.”
Shen Yuepo looked at Su Zhengguo, who exuded righteousness, and her cold eyes flickered slightly.
She said no more, extended her right index and middle fingers, and gathered a point of pure golden light at the fingertips, gently touching Su Zhengguo's brow.
There was no pain as he had imagined; Su Zhengguo only felt a warm, gentle breath being drawn out from between his eyebrows.
Strands of golden light flowed into Shen Yuepo's body through her fingertips.
Shen Yuepo's body trembled slightly, and a feeling of comfort instantly spread throughout his body.
It nourished the essence she had lost in setting up the formation today, and even her divine sense felt clear and comfortable.
The extraction process was completed quickly.
Shen Yuepo withdrew her finger, and Su Zhengguo slowly opened his eyes. His face looked slightly tired, but his eyes were still clear and open.
He knew he had sacrificed something precious, but it was worth it to ensure the safety of his family!
"Thank you. Your lifespan is unaffected, and your blessings and foundation remain intact." Shen Yuepo nodded slightly to Su Zhengguo.
Seeing that his father was unharmed, Su Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to express the Su family's sincere gratitude once again.
However, Qin Li, who was beside him, moved even faster.
Qin Li squeezed in front of Shen Yuepo in one swift step, his movements so fast that even Su Zheng was taken aback.
Where was the composure that Qin Li had displayed in his special department, which he had seen countless storms in?
All that remained was undisguised excitement: "Master Shen, my name is Qin Li!"
His tone was urgent, even with a hint of respect, “He is the head of a branch of a special department in the capital, specifically responsible for handling paranormal events.”
He quickly revealed his identity, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"Master Shen, our special department is in dire need of top talent like you. Would you be interested in joining us? We offer excellent terms and benefits!"
Qin Li extended his olive branch swiftly and directly, making it incredibly tempting.
Shen Wangchuan, not far away, took in the whole scene.
He stared blankly at the gray-blue figure that stood aloof and cold despite being surrounded by the gazes of the crowd.
For the first time, I felt that I might... have really misjudged her.
Faced with Qin Li's enthusiastic recruitment, Shen Yuepo's expression remained unchanged, as if she had only heard an insignificant question.
She didn't even glance at Qin Li, simply uttering three words: "Not interested."
After saying that, she ignored Qin Li, who was frozen in shock, and walked up to Su Zhengguo.
He took out three pre-drawn amulets from his sleeve and handed them over:
"Wear it close to your body. When filling the hole, be sure to do as I say."
Seeing this, Su Zheng quickly stepped forward, "Miss Chen, my grandfather is still recuperating in the hospital, could you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yuepo interrupted him calmly: "Of these three, one was originally prepared for your grandfather."
Her gaze lingered on Su Zheng's face for a moment. "You're in the army, your body is full of yang energy, ordinary evil spirits can't get close to you, so you don't need this."
After saying that, she turned around and walked straight out of the courtyard.
His gaze swept over Shen Wangchuan, who stood to the side with a complex and unreadable expression, without lingering for a moment, as if Shen were just a passerby in the air.
Su Zheng tugged at Qin Li's arm, "I didn't say anything, how did she know I was in the army?"
Qin Li wore a profound and inscrutable expression. "A so-called master can slay demons and monsters, and also predict the future."
As Shen Wangchuan watched her figure disappear through the door, completely ignoring him, his heart felt as if it had been violently clenched.
He chased after them almost without thinking.
"Wait, Shen Yuepo."
Shen Yuepo continued walking, as if she hadn't heard him.
Shen Wangchuan quickened his pace and finally stopped her in front of the ancestral home.
The night was slightly cool, and the moonlight was faint.
Looking at the profile of the man before him, which appeared even more aloof and distant in the moonlight, Shen Wangchuan was momentarily speechless.
The prepared excuse of "come back to the capital with me" now seemed so pale and ridiculous.
He took a deep breath, and for the first time in his life, he lowered his stance towards this younger sister whom he had always rejected:
"I...I'm here to take you back to the Shen family."
He paused, his voice hoarse, "Dad's idea is that after we return to the capital, we plan to officially include you in the family genealogy."
He carefully observed Shen Yuepo's reaction, hoping to see even the slightest fluctuation, even a hint of mockery.
Unfortunately, Shen Yuepo's eyes remained calm, as if she had heard something completely unrelated to her.
She simply gave a faint "oh".
Perfect timing, it's time to go back and make a deal with the Shen family.
Just then, a sudden cell phone ring broke the suffocating silence.
The screen lit up, and the name "Xiao Yizhou" appeared in the darkness.
Shen Yuepo lightly swiped her fingertip to answer the phone.
Xiao Yizhou's deep, weary voice came through the phone: "Miss Chen? I'm sorry to bother you so late. May I ask where you are now?"
"Qingchuan." Shen Yuepo's voice was simple and cold, revealing no emotion.
"Qingchuan?" Xiao Yizhou seemed somewhat surprised, but immediately got to the point:
“Some strange things have happened at a friend’s house recently, and we would like to ask Miss Shen for help. When would be a convenient time for you to return to the capital?”
"Tomorrow." Shen Yuepo didn't ask what the matter was, but simply gave the time.
"Okay, I'll contact you then." Xiao Yizhou visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the call ended, she put away her phone and walked straight into the ancestral home, never once glancing back at Shen Wangchuan.
Shen Wangchuan stood frozen in place, the moonlight casting a somewhat disheveled shadow on him.
The following morning, the Shen family's car drove smoothly toward the capital. The atmosphere inside the car was so quiet it was almost frozen.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Wangchuan glanced at Shen Yuepo, who was resting with her eyes closed, several times in the rearview mirror, hesitating to speak, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Shen Yuepo closed her eyes, but she was not completely at rest.
She was analyzing the ominous layout of the ancestral home and also contemplating the affairs of the Shen family.
Upon returning to the Shen family home in the capital, Shen Yuepo didn't even go back to that bedroom.
She went straight to Chairman Shen's study, her goal clear.
When the butler, Old Wang, saw her, he immediately bowed: "Miss, you're back. The chairman, he..."
“I need to speak with him,” Shen Yuepo interrupted him directly.
"Let her in."
Chairman Shen's voice came from the study.
Pushing open the door, Chairman Shen was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, deep in thought, his back view appearing somewhat somber.
Hearing the door open, he turned around and looked at Chen Yuepo, a smile on his face: "Yuepo, is there something you need from your father?"
Without exchanging pleasantries, Shen Yuepo walked to the desk and stood there, his clear eyes looking directly at Chairman Shen, getting straight to the point:
"First, I will not be included in the family genealogy."
Chairman Shen's brows furrowed instantly: "Yuepo, what's wrong with you...?"
Shen Yuepo raised her hand to interrupt him and continued:
"Secondly, the feng shui layout of the Shen family's old residence in Qingchuan has been secretly altered, creating a dangerous situation that traps dragons and water, gathers yin energy and locks in evil spirits. Within ten years, the Shen family's fortune will be exhausted, their descendants will die out, and their bloodline will be cut off."
Chairman Shen's pupils suddenly contracted.
He never doubted Shen Yuepo's abilities.
Before Shen Yuepo returned to the Shen family, he had already investigated and found out that his daughter was very capable.
The old house in Qingchuan is one of the foundations of the Shen family.
Although he was not a member of the Xuanmen sect, the weight of the four words "extinction of offspring and ominous situation" was enough to shake him to his core.
Considering the recent turmoil in the Shen family, a chill instantly crept up his spine.
Shen Yuepo looked directly into his eyes: "I can break this situation."
Before Chairman Chen could speak, she uttered her final request:
"After the impasse is resolved, the Shen family must voluntarily sever all kinship and karmic ties with me. From then on, my relationship with the Shen family will be completely severed, and we will have no further connection."
