Chapter 794 - Running for Half A Year

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shopkeeper Chang was a little dumbfounded.

Could it be that all the Taoist masters in the world had the ability to keep a straight face?

It was the case for the boss, and it was the same for this Taoist master from the Yuxu Temple!

He had clearly waited for half a day and should have been very anxious, yet he could still put on a calm and courteous appearance!

Xie Qiao was shocked by this Taoist master who suddenly appeared in front of her.

After finding out who it was, she calmed her pounding heart.

“This humble master is busy making a living and has no time to spare. I’ll pay you a visit another day.” Xie Qiao’s expression remained the same.

Yuan Changzi was just casually asking and tried to make a conversation. He did not really want to force this master to visit the Yuxu Temple. Now that she had spoken, it was easier to say what he meant to say.

“Master Mo, this shop is really not bad. The location is great. The business must be great, right?” Yuan Changzi casually asked again.

“It’s alright.” Xie Qiao nodded.

She did not live by selling dharma instruments. These talismans were not expensive and the cost of materials was not much. However, the amount of effort she expended was not something that an ordinary person could understand. Therefore, these things could not be considered to be too profitable.

Her source of money was mainly from the ghouls and wealthy families such as Prince Ning Bei and the Li family.

There were not many customers, but the business had been running for half a year.

Yuan Changzi realized that if he were to discuss trivial matters with Master Mo, it would probably only be awkward.

He sighed secretly and felt that he just had to say it.

“Master Mo, this penniless master is here today for the matter of the Dong family… Last night, Master Dong went to the Yuxu Temple and said that his child had attracted evil spirits. Today, when I went over to take a look, I saw cow’s tears in her eyes. I wonder… what’s the reason for you to do that?” Yuan Changzi asked carefully.

“I can’t use cow’s tears?” Xie Qiao did not answer.

“Of course you can, but… even a cultivator like me would be terrified if I see wandering ghouls, let alone an ordinary person. If that young lady’s temperament wasn’t strong enough, she would probably be scared to death… If that’s the case, Taoist master, you’d also have to bear this karma. It’s not good for your cultivation, right?” Yuan Changzi added.

Xie Qiao knew that Yuan Changzi had good intentions.

Especially this time when he looked at Yuan Changzi. Compared to when he was at Prince Ning Bei’s courtyard, he was more unfathomable now. There should be some changes in his state of mind. There was less arrogance and more outerwordliness.

“This person also has some enmity with me. I can clearly grasp the propriety. I won’t let an innocent person die for nothing,” Xie Qiao replied.

Hearing her words, Yuan Changzi did not mention the matter of the cow’s tears anymore.

Even cultivators ate as well as having seven emotions and six desires.

Although they would not take the initiative to harm others, they would not allow others to bully them.

“That’s great. However, when I went to the Dong Residence today, I discovered that there was a ghoul in there. It seemed to be very resentful. If I allowed it to develop, I’m afraid that it would become a vengeful spirit and harm the innocent. Master Mo, do you have a way to deal with it? If you don’t interfere in this matter and the Dong family comes knocking on my door, I won’t be able to stay out of it,” Yuan Changzi said.

This was his main objective.

“I want to release this ghoul’s soul. Using these cow’s tears is just to help her vent her anger. This is my job. You can’t take it away from me.” Xie Qiao did not hide it.

When Dong Yiyun was alive, she had already settled the debt with her. However, after she died, Xie Pinggang gave her money to release her soul. The karma could be considered to have been established.

“This ghoul’s resentment isn’t small. I’m afraid it won’t be easy? I sensed the resentment so strong today that it made that young lady wished she was dead…. Master Mo, do you know what kind of background this ghoul has? How could she have such a deep hatred toward Young Lady Dong?”
