Chapter 2190

Ning Shu bought a large number of rations, some medicinal herbs, and a simple map. She had to find a way to get back to the Fang family’s house.

Jiang Chen wore his hat and although the two of them were eye-catching, they didn’t cause a commotion.

Having to rely on two legs to trek the mountains and wade through the waters made Ning Shu’s heart feel really stifled.

Along the way, if Ning Shu met someone who was sick, she would rescue them and sometimes also act as an exorcist.

They met all kinds of people along the way.

Jiang Chen watched from the side and said to Ning Shu, “They are so weak.”

“Life is just like that. It’s extremely fragile, but it can also be incredibly strong.”

After walking for more than two months, and going through several pairs of shoes, Ning Shu finally reached the Fang family’s home.

Along the way, Ning Shu couldn’t go near other people for fear that someone would notice Jiang Chen’s identity.

If his existence was revealed, it would attract those who eliminated demons and defended traditional values.

Ning Shu grabbed the knocker and knocked on the door. She knocked twice before the door opened.

The one who opened the door was a young servant. She didn’t recognize him.

“I’m Fang Lanxin, open the door,” Ning Shu said.

“Fang Lanxin? I don’t recognize that name. Hurry and leave.” The servant waved his hand.

“This is the Fang family’s house. Are you a new servant?” Ning Shu had a bad premonition.

“The Fang family? You must be using the old almanac. All the business and property of the Fang family have been entrusted to my master.” The servant said triumphantly.

Ning Shu: Goddamn it…

She should have whipped Gu Rui to death.

“Young man, please inform the master of your family. I’m the original master of the Fang family and I’m here to retrieve the ancestral tablets.” Ning Shu gave the servant a piece of silver.

The servant took the silver. “Wait here.”

“Can we kill them?” said Jiang Chen.

“In human territory, it is necessary to follow the rules of human beings and trade for my Fang family’s things with real money. After all, it’s not like they did anything wrong,” Ning Shu said. The main offender in this entire thing was Gu Rui.

Jiang Chen was silent.

After a while, a thin middle-aged man came out and asked Ning Shu, “Are you a member of the Fang family?”

“Yes, I am,” Ning Shu said. “I’m here for my family’s ancestral tablets.”

“Take her to get them,” The middle-aged man said to the servant.

The servant took Ning Shu to the ancestral hall and pointed to a corner, “Over there.”

Ning Shu looked at the corner and saw the ancestral tablets heaped in the corner and covered with dust.

Ning Shu used her sleeve to wipe the dust off the tablets and put them in with her belongings.

“Take them and leave quickly,” said the servant.

Ning Shu went to the hall and met the middle-aged man. She said, “I want to buy my family’s house and shop back. Can I?”

The middle-aged man shook his head. “I won’t sell.”

“The price is negotiable,” Ning Shu said.

“I won’t sell, no matter the amount.” The middle-aged man waved his hand. “Since you have what you came for, you should leave.”

Ning Shu felt helpless and left the house.

“Do you want this house?” Jiang Chen asked.

“I do, but it doesn’t matter.” Ning Shu smiled.

Ning Shu brought the ancestral tablets to a flourishing temple and donated a large amount of incense money to have the monks chant sutras for those ancestors every day.

While in the temple, Ning Shu met an old monk. He seemed suspicious of Jiang Chen and warned Ning Shu not to stay with this kind of evil for a long time as it would affect her lifespan.

Ning Shu saw that the old monk didn’t react with indignation and try to immediately eliminate Jiang Chen, so she sincerely thanked the old monk.

Ning Shu had the means to prevent her body from being taken over by yin energy.
