The âmasterâ then felt more at ease.â
Yang Linâs eyes flitted to the side. Regardless, she wouldnât lose anything if Xie Jiling also went inside.
As such, she stopped talking.
The âmasterâ thought about it and said to Xie Jiling, âYou can come along, but donât cause trouble when I am doing things. Just behave yourself. Donât create more mess for me.â
âIf you are in danger, I wonât help you,â the âmasterâ said.
âI know.â Xie Jiling agreed in a soft tone.
Yang Lin said impatiently, âMaster, please go inside and take a look at it.â
âLetâs go,â the âmasterâ said.
Yang Lin then held He Qingyangâs arm, and both of them opened the door, stepping into the house with the âmaster.â
The new helper they hired asked to take the day off as she didnât dare to stay in the house anymore.
And so, there was no one in the house.
When they all stepped into the house, Xie Jiling immediately felt a gust of eerie wind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The âmasterâ couldnât help but shiver as well.
The entire villa was cold and eerie.
Even laymen could sense that something was wrong with this place.
Xie Jiling lowered her head and looked at the compass on her palm. The needle on the compass was spinning crazily.
The electromagnetic field in every corner of this house was caused by the ghost.
This was the first time the âmasterâ had ever seen a place with such eeriness. As such, he couldnât help but feel slightly dumbfounded.
This had never happened before when he was catching ghosts.
Although it wasnât noon, it was still 2 pm, and the sun was warm enough.
Although it was winter, the sun was shining very brightly. Even with the gust of wind blowing, it was very bright outside.
Yet, the inside of the house was like another world.
The âmasterâ hesitated and no longer dared to advance any further.
Although this âmasterâ was incapable, he could sense that this eeriness would increase as you advanced further into the house.
The âmasterâ felt his knees go weak. He Qingyang, who was behind him, was shivering as he reminded, âMaster?â
The âmasterâ could only force himself to continue walking inside.
Xie Jiling didnât follow them.
She changed her direction. When she changed her direction, the speed at which the needle on the compass spun changed as well.
The âmasterâ swallowed nervously and didnât dare to make another step forward.
He admitted that he was scared. Could he still say no to this job?
At this moment, the âmasterâ couldnât bother with Xie Jiling.
He did not even realize that Xie Jiling had gone to the living room downstairs.
He Qingyang and Yang Lin had been focusing on the âmasterâ since the beginning.
But when they saw that the âmasterâ stopped moving, both of them felt their hearts racing.
They were hoping that this âmasterâ would not be like the other unreliable ones.
But then, the two noticed that Xie Jiling was different.
Xie Jiling wasnât scared like them.
Xie Jiling seemed to be unaffected by this eeriness.
She was holding the compass and was moving around the living room.
She had checked every corner.
The two didnât dare to yell at her.
Considering Xie Jilingâs courage, what if she was actually capable?
They thought about what Xie Jiling said earlier.
The two then had a little more faith in Xie Jiling.
This was their last resort.
Of course, most importantly, the two were so scared that they could no longer talk.
Xie Jiling took the compass and checked everywhere downstairs.
She then went back to where Yang Lin and He Qingyang were. âThe eeriness downstairs are traces left by the vengeful ghost when it flew past that area. The eeriness feels the strongest upstairs.â
Xie Jiling then asked He Qingyang and Yang Lin, âIs your bedroom upstairs?â
The two quickly nodded.
Xie Jiling didnât bother with that âmaster.â She took the compass and went upstairs.
He Qingyang and Yang Lin didnât dare to stay with this unreliable âmaster.â
Although it was more dangerous upstairs, they thought it would be safer to be with Xie Jiling.
And so, the two followed Xie Jiling upstairs.
The âmasterâ was left alone, and he didnât dare to stay downstairs as well.
So, he hastily followed behind them.
Xie Jiling walked in front and found the bedroom without anyoneâs help.
As expected, the eeriness was the worst in this place.
Xie Jiling turned and said, âI can deal with it, but I have to wait for it to come out at night. Do you trust me?â
At this moment, they saw Xie Jiling carrying herself with such confidence. She didnât seem scared at all.
She didnât seem like those scammers.
The one who stuck the talisman and sprinkled water in the house left so quickly.
Initially, they thought that the scammer just wanted to escape.
However, they finally realized that the scammer quickly left out of fright.
The one who had been doing spells was the worst. He didnât even dare to step into the house.
He must have sensed that something was wrong and started doing spells outside of the house.
And the âmasterâ this time didnât seem reliable as well.
And so, when they heard Xie Jiling speak, He Qingyang nodded and said, âCan you actually deal with it? You have to help us.â
âDonât call it help,â Xie Jiling said, âI am not helping for free.â
âAs long as you can eliminate it, we will pay you.â He Qingyang said quickly.
They could afford it.
âFive million.â Xie Jiling stretched her hand out.
Of course, Xie Jiling wouldnât need to go through a lot of trouble to deal with a vengeful ghost at this level. She didnât actually have to ask for so much.
Of course, her price depended on her mood.
If it were a rich person, she would ask for more.
She would ask for less money if it was an ordinary person.
Anyway, this price was always acceptable.
There was no actual conflict between the He Family and Lu Man.
He Zhengbai, the one who had a conflict with Lu Man, had already passed away.
Therefore, Xie Jiling didnât ask for ten million.
She just asked for five million.
He Qingyang froze. He didnât expect the price to be this expensive. He had spent 600,000 on that âmaster.â
He thought that the price of service in this line of work was rather high.
But he didnât expect this line of work to earn so much profit.
He didnât expect a little girl to ask for five million.
This was beyond his prediction.
When Xie Jiling saw that He Qingyang didnât answer, Xie Jiling said coldly, âYou can also rely on the âmaster.â You have already paid for his service. Obviously, you canât waste it, right?â
The âmasterâ didnât dare to stay downstairs and hurriedly followed upstairs.
When he came upstairs, he heard what Xie Jiling said.
The âmasterâ felt speechless.
He thought he was asking too much when he priced his service at 600,000.
But this young girl was even greedier.
Her first price was five million.
Her ability had surpassed his ability!
However, the young girl had actually used him as a negative example.
When He Qingyang heard what Xie Jiling said, he looked back at the âmaster.â
He saw that the âmasterâ had already forgotten to show the attitude of a superior person.
Immediately, he no longer had any hope in this âmaster.â
He then said to Xie Jiling, âAlright. Five million then!â
Xie Jiling handed them a contract and said, âSign it.â
He Qingyang felt speechless.
âYou take contracts with you anywhere you go?â He Qingyang asked.
âOf course, you never know when you might encounter an emergency. So, I bring one with me anywhere I go,â Xie Jiling explained, âLook. Isnât it useful now?â
He Qingyang was speechless.
Yang Lin also didnât know what to say.
âIt will come out at night, so thereâs no rush. You have a lot of time to read the contract and sign it afterward
