It's like being sick.
Wen Li didn't say the rest, but how could Qin Ruolan not understand?
"Your elders are educating you for your own good."
Qin Ruolan glanced at Wen Li's somewhat disheveled clothes and immediately began to overthink things. So, like an elder, she earnestly said, "Look at you, you left early in the morning and didn't come back until evening. You're a girl, how can you be so shameless?"
Wen Li was already exhausted from catching ghosts today, and when she heard Qin Ruolan nagging on and on, even trying to lecture her, her face instantly turned cold.
What do you mean by that?
"What could I mean?" Qin Ruolan glanced at Wen Li's chest, where a faint mark remained from the fight with the vengeful ghost, looking extremely ambiguous.
As expected of someone from a small town, they actually did something like this.
Qin Ruolan's eyes were full of disdain, and she spoke without any restraint: "I heard from the driver that you went to a male classmate's house and stayed there all day. What girl would be as shameless as you?"
"No normal old lady would think like that."
She had heard what Qin Ruolan said yesterday, but she had been tolerant of Xu Yurong's feelings.
She was just a grandmother with no blood relation. If she was a good person, she could show her some respect, but Qin Ruolan kept taking advantage of her kindness. Why should she tolerate it?
So Wen Li walked up to Qin Ruolan and said coldly, "Don't say these things in front of me again, or I'll make sure you'll never be allowed to set foot in the Wen family again!"
"You!" Qin Ruolan trembled with anger, pointing at Wen Li and yelling, "I'm your grandmother! Believe me or not, I'll tell your father!"
"Tell whoever you want, but if you say another word, get out of the house tomorrow."
Qin Ruolan's eyes widened as she heard Wen Li's outrageous words, and she immediately sat down on the sofa and burst into tears.
However, none of the servants in the house dared to step forward, and they just watched quietly as Qin Ruolan caused trouble.
Wen Li's ears were ringing from listening, and she didn't bother to look at her, so she went straight upstairs.
Qin Ruolan waited for a long time but found no one coming to talk to her, so she couldn't even cry anymore.
At this moment, her gaze suddenly fell on Wen Li's schoolbag that she had casually left on the sofa yesterday. Her eyes were gloomy, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
——
Wen Li was worried that something might go wrong if she waited too long, so she sent staff from the Celestial Masters Association to retrieve the ghost the next day.
Hearing that a vengeful ghost had been captured immediately alarmed Zhang Huaiyu.
Zhang Huaiyu had arranged to meet Wen Li at a cake shop, but Wen Li was already eating when he arrived.
In front of Wen Li was an old-fashioned, brownish-red jar.
Zhang Huaiyu paused, momentarily unable to figure out what kind of magical artifact Wen Li's ghost-collecting jar was.
Upon closer inspection, he saw with his own eyes that the label contained the two large characters for "lard".
Wen Li paused in her eating, and when she saw Zhang Huaiyu, she was stunned for a moment. Then she quickly pushed the lard jar over, completely unaware of just how explosive the lard jar was.
At least when their leader catches ghosts, he always uses a gourd to stuff the ghost inside.
"Where did this jar come from?" Zhang Huaiyu looked at it for a long time, but really couldn't see anything special about the jar in front of him.
If you smell it carefully, you can also detect a faint aroma of lard.
"I just grabbed it from the kitchen in my employer's house."
"What?" Zhang Huaiyu thought he had misheard.
After Wen Li repeated herself, Zhang Huaiyu's face showed utter admiration.
But she soon realized that Wen Li could subdue the evil spirit without using any magical artifacts!
"Wen Li." Zhang Huaiyu called out blankly, then asked, "What does your master usually teach you?"
Wen Li asked in confusion, "Aren't we all learning the same things? Drawing talismans, fortune telling, and catching ghosts."
Zhang Huaiyu: ...
He suddenly realized that Wen Li seemed to know very little about the entire Celestial Master circle.
"The Celestial Masters are not as omnipotent as you imagine. At most, we can only master one skill. For example, my master can draw talismans. It is considered very impressive if he can draw a few every day without making any mistakes. Some can tell fortunes and read faces, but they are not always accurate. If you want to predict any major events, there will be a price to pay."
After a pause, Zhang Huaiyu looked at Wen Li with increasingly intense eyes: "As far as I know, apart from our omnipotent president, all the other Celestial Masters in the entire Celestial Masters Association only have one ability."
Of course, it doesn't mean that they can't do anything else. Rather, like a student who excels in one subject but not another, they always have one thing they are particularly good at.
But finding someone like Wen Li is extremely rare.
Wen Li was stunned, looking at Zhang Huaiyu as if he were a good-for-nothing: "Really?"
Zhang Huaiyu nodded.
Wenli:......
Thinking back, she realized that her senior and junior brothers used to only know how to divine or how to form formations, and she used to laugh at them.
Now it seems she really misunderstood them!
Wen Li scratched her head: "I've been learning martial arts from my master on the mountain since I was a child. Every day I do the same things repeatedly, but I'm not very good at many things. Maybe that's why I learn things faster?"
Upon hearing this, a golden light flashed in Zhang Huaiyu's eyes.
He could read faces, but when he looked closely at Wen Li, he found that her face was hazy and he couldn't see her past or her future.
"Your master said you have three deficiencies and five weaknesses?"
Wen Li nodded: "Yes, but not anymore."
"Hmm?" Zhang Huaiyu was somewhat surprised. Could it be that such a powerful destiny could be changed?
Sure enough, Wen Li nodded: "My master failed to ascend to immortality, and before he died, he used his remaining lifespan to perform a divination for me."
Wen Li felt a little sad as she thought about it.
Her master never told her about the things he had done for her.
But no matter what, how could such a thing be kept from her?
She was born with a life lacking in three things and five things, with no affinity for money or family. Her master hadn't been able to figure out her background for decades, so how could he suddenly figure it out before she died?
Changing one's fate is going against the will of Heaven; it's clearly something the master calculated based on one's lifespan.
Wen Li didn't want to disappoint her master, so she went down the mountain to find her relatives.
After listening to Wen Li's explanation, Zhang Huaiyu understood some of it.
At the same time, he also knew that Wen Li's master was probably a powerful figure.
"I'll take this ghost with me first; the money for catching it will be in my account soon."
With 100,000 vengeful ghosts, Wen Li's sorrow immediately lessened by half.
This is much faster than making money by fortune-telling in the park.
"Oh, right." Wen Li suddenly thought of something and quickly stopped Zhang Huaiyu.
Zhang Huaiyu turned his head, his eyes questioning.
Surrounded by people, Wen Li lowered her voice and asked, "I wanted to ask, why haven't we seen any vengeful ghosts in the entire City A?"
Zhang Huaiyu's expression suddenly became interesting, and he said, "Our president is a miser. Over the years, she has captured almost all the evil spirits in City A."
