Ning City, a cemetery.

"Master Ning, is there a problem here?" Luo Tiankuo asked quickly after the middle-aged man who had been staring at the tomb looked away.

“No problem.” Ning Jinshui, the exorcist Luo Tiankuo had hired, looked at the tomb again. “According to my senses, the demon-suppressing array has not been damaged, and there is nothing indescribable inside. Even if something indescribable were to be born, it wouldn’t be possible for it to break through so quickly.”

"So, could it really be a misunderstanding, and the person buried here isn't Fang Zhen, but someone else?" Luo Tiankuo frowned in thought, but he was still not entirely at ease. "In any case, please ask Master Ning to come with me to Xue'er's school to take a look."

"Since we've come all this way, we definitely have to go and see what's going on," Ning Jinshui said. "This is the first time I've encountered such a coincidence, so I'll feel more at ease if I go and take a look."

He also wanted to confirm whether it was a false alarm or if Fang Zhen was truly a formidable and inexplicable force. If it was the former, there wasn't much of a problem; if it was the latter, he had to eliminate him before he gained too much power to avoid future trouble.

"The reason I asked Master Ning to set up the Demon-Suppressing Array and use the Demon-Suppressing Box was because this person had an accident and was bound to be unwilling to accept it, so I wanted to be on the safe side. I didn't expect that something like this would happen now, and I would have to trouble Master Ning again," Luo Tiankuo said apologetically.

Ning Jinshui replied calmly, "It's alright."

Ning Jinshui didn't care what the customer's purpose was in setting up the demon-suppressing array and making the demon-suppressing box, as long as they could afford the price.

He's an exorcist; he only cares about exorcising demons and has no interest in anything else.

What they did and what their fate would be were their own fates. The world is so vast, and different things happen every moment; it's not his place as an exorcist to concern himself with them.

Exorcists only care about exorcising demons.

I don't care about the inside story.

"My brother is here and said he wants to treat us to dinner." In the dormitory, Luo Xue said to Azhen and the others while holding her phone, "Then let's go get together."

Yin Xuan and Gao Yuchu were not surprised by this. Luo Tiankuo had treated the entire dormitory to a meal before, with the aim of getting them to be more considerate and tolerant of Luo Xue.

A place where Luo Tiankuo can treat you to a meal is naturally not cheap, and everyone was quite happy to accept.

A short while later, Azhen and the others followed Luo Xue to the entrance of the restaurant's private room.

As soon as Azhen pushed open the door, she saw the middle-aged man sitting next to Luo Tiankuo. She recognized him; his name was Ning Jinshui, and he was an exorcist.

The client had clashed with Ning Jinshui multiple times, inflicting heavy losses on him and nearly killing him. Unfortunately, the client had a powerful backer, and she was ultimately defeated and eliminated by Ning Jinshui's father, Ning Xian.

Ning Xian and Ning Jinshui are both members of the Demon Extermination Alliance, and Ning Xian is also the president of the Demon Extermination Alliance. Both of them are extremely powerful in terms of influence and strength, and the client is indeed no match for them.

Upon arriving at school today and interacting with Luo Xue, Azhen sensed that Luo Xue still had a protective talisman on her. Clearly, Luo Tiankuo was taking precautions in case something untoward happened and Luo Xue was harmed. It must be said, he was quite well-prepared.

Moreover, judging from Ning Jinshui's strength, the person who made the amulet was not him, but most likely Ning Xian, which is why the client was unable to do anything to Luo Xue, Luo Tiankuo, and Jiang Yu.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the restaurant waiter led A-Zhu to a seat next to Ning Jinshui.

Azhen was naturally not afraid of Ning Jinshui, and sat down with a normal expression.

Ning Jinshui was scrutinizing Azhen, his gaze quite obvious and almost undisguised.

But to his surprise, Azhen suddenly looked up and stared at him without saying a word, her eyes asking, "Is there something you need?" Ning Jinshui was caught off guard by her gaze, but he didn't panic. He calmly nodded to Azhen and said, "I can read faces."

“I see,” Azhen asked. “Then, Master, can you predict when I will become rich?”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the private room couldn't help but look at her face.

Yin Xuan and Gao Yuchu couldn't help but laugh. Yin Xuan even said, "There's someone here who's gone crazy with the desire to get rich."

"Don't laugh at me. I went to school so I could find a good job and make money. It's normal to ask about getting rich. Don't you want to get rich?" A-Zhen asked with a smile.

"I'd like to think about it, of course I would! Master, could you take a look at me too? When will I become rich? Can I become rich by lying at home?" Yin Xuan asked.

Gao Yuchu: "Good heavens, it's one thing to want to get rich quick, but you actually think you can just lie at home and wait for a windfall? You're really dreaming. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Think about it, it doesn't affect anything else, so of course you should be bolder in your dreams!" Yin Xuan said confidently. "I dream of playing on my phone at home every day and getting rich out of nowhere."

"Okay, add me to that dream too!" Gao Yuchu was clearly moved by Yin Xuan's words.

Because of Azhen's meddling, the atmosphere in the private room changed.

Even Ning Jinshui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, his expression was somewhat indescribable.

He was already certain that Fang Zhen next to him was a person, and now he was even more certain that the other party was indeed a living person.

The indescribable state could never be like Fang Zhen's. No matter how well it is hidden or how powerful it is, it is still different from Fang Zhen.

"Everyone's destiny is predetermined when it comes to making money. As long as you put in the effort, you will get a certain return. Besides, divination is not my forte. I only look at good and bad fortune," Ning Jinshui casually bluffed.

Now that we've confirmed that Fang Zhen is a living, breathing person, there's no need to worry about her anymore.

"What the master said is clearly a hint that I'm not destined to be rich." A-Zhuang rested her chin on her hand. "It seems I have to study and work diligently to get what I want."

"There are still very few people in this world who get something for nothing." Ning Jinshui continued to give a perfunctory reply, already losing interest, and threw a glance at Luo Tiankuo.

The latter immediately understood that this confirmed Fang Zhen was a person, not an indescribable being.

Luo Tiankuo immediately felt relieved and changed the subject to prevent Fang Zhen from continuing to pester Master Ning with irrelevant and annoying talk.

Azhen didn't press the matter further. This was nothing. She wasn't in a hurry to vent her anger for the client. The client didn't want to crush them all at once either. They had told her beforehand that if she was confident, she would torture them slowly.

Only by making them suffer, feel pain, and panic, and by making them unable to escape, can the resentment in their hearts be quelled.

Having resolved a matter that had been weighing on their minds, Luo Tiankuo and Jiang Yu were both in good spirits, and even Luo Xue was caught up in the mood.

Midway through, Luo Tiankuo went to the restroom.

Just as he passed the bathroom mirror, he suddenly had a moment of distraction and saw a dark figure in the mirror. (End of Chapter)
