Tang Li soon took the jewel down. It was a very big ruby necklace.
The ruby necklace was in a beautiful box with an appraisal certificate.
Tang Li handed the box to Grandma Wu.
Grandma Wu subconsciously looked at the appraisal certificate.
Tang Li said, âThis is an international jewelry brand. I havenât even had time yet to put the appraisal certificate away. With the appraisal certificate, you can be assured that itâs authentic and Iâm not fooling you.â
This time, Grandma Wu finally couldnât control herself. As she quickly reached out her hands to snatch away the box, greed was written all across her face.
Luckily, the villages werenât able to see her face from where they stood.
Many people stepped forth, wanting to steal a glance of this jewelry, but at that moment, Grandma Wu closed the box and quickly pocketed it. Her gaze wandered around Tang Liâs beautiful face as she thought to herself, âSince youâre so generous, Iâll get some aphrodisiac powder for you later so that you
wont have to suffer.â
On the surface, she still looked unmoved by money. âLooks like youâre very sincere. How about this? Iâll drawa talisman for you. When the mountain god recognizes my talisman, he will help you eliminate the demonic aura on your body as soon as possible.â
âThank you, Grandma Wu. I didnât know you and Mountain God were so close. Have you seen Mountain God before?â
Hearing Tang Liâs question, Grandma Wu raised her chin proudly. She again remained silent, waiting for others to speak for her.
âOf course. Grandma Wu is a messenger sent from heaven. A few years ago, because someone wanted to remove the mountain, the Mountain God was angry and cursed us with earthquakes and landslides. It was Grandma Wu who went up the mountain to apologize and appeased the Mountain God.â
âExactly. And Grandma Wuâs talisman is very effective. Previously, my grandson was tormented by a stomachache. We sent him to the big hospital in the city, but none of the doctors could help him. However, as soon as Grandma Wu drew a talisman for him, he recovered immediately.â
âMy family.â
Everyone kept talking about how incredible Grandma Wu was. They were trying to say that Tang Li should be grateful to Grandma Wu.
When Grandpa Tang, who was standing beside them, heard this, he was extremely anxious. He wanted to say that these people were too stupid and ignorant, but since most of the people here were older then him, he felt it would inappropriate to interrupt.
suddenly, he remembered what his daughter said about Tang Li catching ghosts. He quickly whispered to her, âLi, donât believe her. She is obviously up to no good.â
The people here couldnât tell, but for him, who had been in the business world for decades, he noticed the subtle expressions on Grandma Wuâs face. The scheming look in her eyes and the greed when she saw the jewelry were already so obvious.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him. Her lips curled up, but she did not speak.
First Master Tang suddenly felt like she had everything under control.
Everyone waited for a while and saw a middle-aged man carrying a packet of scented wax paper candles quickly walk over.
âMom, I brought the scented wax paper candle you wanted.â
Grandma Wu said, âIn that case, letâs set off now.â
She then gestured at Tang Li. âCome with me.â
Tang Li followed her.
First Master Tang and the bodyguards also wanted to follow.
Granny Wu suddenly said sternly, âYou guys canât follow us. The demonic aura on her body will devour you guys. You guys stay here.â
âNo!â First Master Tang couldnât hold back his anger anymore. He said loudly, âIf you donât let us come along, I wonât let you take my niece away.â
The more Grandma Wu refused to let him go up, the more he felt that there was some kind of conspiracy. Although his daughter had said that Tang Li could catch ghosts, no one knew what was on the mountain. Perhaps this old woman was colluding with a group of people to kidnap her.
Thinking of this, he thought of the three masters of the Qi family. They might be the ones who sent people to kidnap his niece. When the time came, they might use her niece to threaten Yihan or force her niece to do something.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. Grandpa Tangâs tone became stronger.
âThe government has already issued a policy that prohibits spreading superstitious thoughts. If you donât let us follow, we wont believe you and welll call the police now.â
With that, he took out his phone.
âThe moment Grandma Wu saw him holding the phone, her expression changed, and she said unhappily, âIn that case, we wonât go up the mountain. When something happens to the village and everyone gets into trouble, Iâll see how you guys can handle it.â
âYouâ¦â
âFirst Uncle,â Tang Li interrupted to calm First Uncle Tang down. âJust stay here. Till go up and take a look.â
As she spoke, she looked at the group of villagers who wanted to criticize First Master Tang and said, âIf I donât return on time, you can come up with all the villagers to save me.â
âRightâ¦
The group of old men and women immediately agreed.
Even Mr. Li agreed.
First Master Tang was still a little worried. At that moment, Tang Li said to the bodyguard, âProtect First Master Tang.â
With that, she gestured to Grandma Wu. âGrandma Wu, we can leave now.â
Grandma Wu glanced at First Master Tang and the bodyguards. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes and she led Tang Li west.
A group of villagers hurriedly followed.
Looking at the group of people leaving, First Master Tang was worried. He wanted to follow them, but he was stopped by a bodyguard.
First Master Tang said angrily, âAs her bodyguards, you should be protecting her instead of stopping me. What if something happens to her?â
âThe bodyguard said, âMr. Tang, Miss Tang already foresaw what was coming last night and assigned tasks in advance. Donât worry, she will be fine.â
When Grandpa Tang heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He said, âThen hurry up and follow her. I will just stay here.â
A few of the bodyguards tailed after them, leaving two bodyguards behind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
First Master Tang quickly said, âYou guys go too. I donât need protection here.â
The bodyguard: âWe canât disobey Miss Tangâs order.â
After saying that, he walked toward the room they were staying in. Soon, he took out his laptop and placed it on the table. He quickly started working on it before moving aside. Then, a video of Tang Li and the others walking up the mountain could be seen on the screen.
âWhat..â
âMiss Tang knows that Mr. Tang will be worried about her, so she prepared a live broadcast for you.â
Because they were going to the temple on the mountain, the group of people walked very quickly. Grandma Wu, who was in her seventies, was walking swiftly on the bumpy road. She was even faster than her son.
Tang Li looked at Grandma Wuâs back and wondered what the black flood dragon had fed her to make her so obedient.
âWhen they reached the foot of the mountain, someone suddenly said, âDonât get seen by the mountain watcher later.â
Grandma Wu sneered and said, âDonât worry, we are going to pay our respects to the mountain god. If he dares to stop us, he will suffer the wrath of the heavens.â
Everyone was relieved and continued walking up the mountain. The elders here were all very sturdy and no one was tired from climbing the mountain.
After climbing for a while, they reached the thatched house where the mountain watcher lived and saw him walk out.
Someone cried out in worry, âHeâs coming out!â
