Chapter 114: 114: Dispel the Evil Spirit (12)



“Look at what? I’m busy. Just now, someone from Taokong Mountain asked me to deliver props for them, they need them by this afternoon, we’re running out of time.”

Despite saying this, the others crowded around to look at the man’s screen.

The room fell somewhat silent.

Finally, someone broke the silence, “Is this… the landlord’s idiot son?”

Unbeknownst to the landlord’s idiot son, he was remarked upon by others as a ‘rich and naive’ major customer.

She floated by Xia Han’s side, watching him eat breakfast.

Only Xia Han and Senior Brother Changbian were at the dining table, Mr. Jhiang refused to come down from his room.

Xia Han glanced at her from time to time, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly to reveal a handsome smile, his long and thick eyelashes casting small fan-shaped shadows under his eyelids.

He still wore that traditional Chinese attire, like a young master from the Republican era, noble and elegant.

The dragon-patterned cuffs were particularly striking in the sunlight, as if they were about to soar the next moment.

“Xia Han, what are you looking at?”

“Senior Brother, nothing,” Xia Han shook his head and looked down to drink his porridge.

“There wasn’t any trouble last night, was there?”

Xia Han continued to shake his head.

“This ghost woman is not showing up, which is troublesome. Let’s wait again today, see if she comes out,” Senior Brother Changbian muttered to himself, “If she still doesn’t show up by today, we’ll lure her out tomorrow.”

Xia Han naturally understood what that meant.

Xia Han clenched his spoon tightly, silently sipping his porridge.

“I’m talking to you, did you hear me?” Senior Brother Changbian tapped the table.

“I heard you, Senior Brother,” Xia Han replied softly.

“Don’t be afraid, I will protect you. I’ve already notified the neighboring Daoists, they will come to help too, nothing will happen.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother…”

Bang!

Glass shattered and sprayed everywhere as a golf ball, coming from who knows where, hit Senior Brother Changbian on the back of the head, knocking him face-first into the bowl in front of him.

The golf ball fell to the ground and rolled into the corner with a clatter.

Xia Han, holding his spoon, widened his eyes and stared out the window, forgetting to react.

“I’m so sorry!” someone shouted from outside the window, “Are you okay?”

Senior Brother Changbian, holding the back of his head, raised his face smeared with porridge, looking exceptionally disheveled.

The servants, hearing the noise, came out from the kitchen and were equally flabbergasted at the scene.

Isn’t that the Heavenly Master?

How could he… be hit by a golf ball?

“I’m really sorry,” the person outside kept shouting, “Are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?”

The servant recognized that it was their neighbor, she opened the door to let the person in.

The person kept apologizing, explaining that it was an accident that the golf ball ended up here, not expecting it to hit someone.

Xia Han felt uneasy and took the opportunity, while Senior Brother Changbian was pulled away for treatment, to walk to the broken window.

“Little Beauty, why did you do this?”

Chuzheng leaned in the shadow outside the window, her tone cold and flat, “He bullied you, I was teaching him a lesson.”

Xia Han was stunned for a moment, his lips parted but he didn’t know what to say.

For the first time in his life, she was the first person who stood up for him.

“Little Beauty, you’re so kind.”

Chuzheng glanced at him and then floated away.

Xia Han: “???”

Why did he feel like she glared at him just now?

Did he say something wrong?

After Senior Brother Changbian had his wound treated, Mr. Jhiang came downstairs upon hearing the commotion, and had a bit of a tussle with the neighbor. Not wanting to delay important matters, Senior Brother Changbian didn’t pursue the matter and asked Mr. Jhiang to quickly send the person away.

He touched the back of his head, a peculiar look on his face.

Although he was a Heavenly Master who caught ghosts with spells, his physical strength wasn’t poor either.

When the golf ball was flying toward him, why didn’t he sense it at all?

“`

Could it be that the female ghost was up to mischief?

At noon, two men and a woman paid a visit. Mr. Jhiang, hearing they were all Heavenly Masters, was very pleased and welcomed them.

“How come Xia Han is here too? Here to drag us down again?” The girl glared at Xia Han with an unsatisfied look, full of disdain.

The man beside the girl snickered, “Such a pretty face gone to waste, what a loser.”

Senior Brother Changbian didn’t react at all, as if it were all too normal.

Chuzheng tapped her wrist, her gaze icy cold. It seemed today’s golf swing wasn’t hard enough.

The other man also looked down on Xia Han but said nothing.

To them, Xia Han’s sole ability was to see ghosts. His mere presence meant holding them back. If anything went wrong, he’d drag them down with him.

After the girl and the man had their fun mocking Xia Han, they turned to Senior Brother Changbian to discuss serious matters.

Senior Brother Changbian explained the situation once more, and the group took another look around the house but found nothing unusual.

Xia Han was terrified they would discover Chuzheng, but as she floated above their heads, the group showed no reaction, and he breathed a little easier.

Little Beauty really was formidable.

Senior Brother Changbian called Gold Pointing Pavilion, urging them to send the props over quickly.

Gold Pointing Pavilion delivered with urgency before nightfall.

“Wow!” the girl exclaimed, “These are Seven Star Talismans! So many of them?”

Such talismans were quite precious, with individual prices ranging from a hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand.

With Senior Brother Changbian having purchased other items as well, the three couldn’t help but sigh, “Did Daoist Yan really go all out? Truly worthy of Taokong Mountain, something we can’t afford.”

As Senior Brother Changbian inspected the props, he said, “This time the evil spirit is no trivial matter, better be careful.”

The girl looked at the delivery guy and noticed he had many more items. She couldn’t help but ask.

“Why do you have so much stuff?”

The delivery guy said, “Oh, these are for Mr. Xia Han. Is this the same address? Are you together? If so, could Mr. Xia Han come and sign for them?”

Senior Brother Changbian: “…”

Trio: “…”

The girl was somewhat incredulous, “Who did you say?”

Delivery guy: “Xia Han.”

The girl continued, “Xia as in summer, Han as in cold?”

The delivery person nodded, “Exactly.”

Everyone: “…”

Were they having hallucinations, or had the delivery been mixed up?

Senior Brother Changbian called Xia Han out, and Xia Han was just as clueless, “I… It’s not mine.”

He couldn’t afford such things.

“There’s a message from the sender, saying it is a gift for Mr. Xia Han.” The other person smiled professionally, “Could Mr. Xia Han sign for it?”

“Who… sent this to me?”

“Sorry Mr. Xia Han, I can’t disclose that information.”

Xia Han signed for the items in a daze, and after the delivery guy left, the girl promptly started unpacking to see.

“My god…”

The other two also leaned in to look. Among the items unpacked were talismans, swords, and a variety of ghost-catching tools.

Was this basically moving all of Gold Pointing Pavilion here?

The key question, these belonged to Xia Han?

Xia Han!

That loser!

How could he afford such things?

“Xia Han,” the girl turned to him with suspicion and envy, “Can you afford all these things?”

Xia Han: “…”

Senior Brother Changbian also had the same question, “Xia Han, tell us the truth, who sent you these things?”

Xia Han: “…”

He had no idea either!
