The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 18 Another Price

During the days of imprisonment, Wen Ting thought countless times that she must call the police after she left and make Huo Xingye, this scumbag, pay the price.

But this thought was suppressed on the way to the hospital in the ambulance.

Doctor Chen Ming, the young man who came to pick her up, gave a detailed introduction to the Huo family's status in Yuncheng. It was no exaggeration to say that they were local emperors. She was an ordinary girl with no power and influence and could not afford to offend them.

It would be better to recover from the illness, get some compensation and leave, and live well anywhere in the future. After all, Huo Xingye had not really done anything to her except restricting her freedom for so many days.

Even her current health problems were caused by her own hunger strike and long-term lack of nutrition.

Wen Ting opened her mouth several times to refute, but she didn't know where to start. She was very confused.

It sounded as if she was the one who had become like this, but she couldn't think of any other solution except to go on a hunger strike. She couldn't just kill herself, could she? She wanted to leave, not die.

Wen Ting was silent.

Before getting off the car, Chen Ming still smiled gently, "Think carefully during your hospitalization. Miss Wen is a smart person and will definitely make the most correct choice."

Wen Ting closed her eyes tiredly and thought to herself, she had thought that Chen Ming was a gentle and kind person, but now she saw that he was clearly a smiling tiger in disguise.

The next afternoon, Gu Qingyin went to a Cantonese tea restaurant in the city center as promised. She ordered a few dishes and ate while reading some information while waiting for Liu Ergou to join her.

The information was sent by Liu Ergou yesterday, but she was busy drawing talismans and preparing magic tools and had no time to read it.

The client this time is a young wealthy businessman named Gu Xifeng. Judging from the photos, he looks like a Confucian businessman, and has a good reputation in the outside world. He has a successful career, a loving couple, and is definitely a winner in life.

Gu Qingyin's gaze fell on Gu Xifeng's face, and she thought to herself that the rumors from the outside world were indeed not credible. His appearance was obviously inconsistent with his reputation.

Gu Xifeng’s request was to catch ghosts, but the caught ghosts could not be liberated or killed, he had to keep them and worship them.

Gu Qingyin: ...are you sick?
Gu Xifeng said that this ghost was a very important person to him when she was alive, and he was reluctant to let her leave. He had previously asked a Taoist priest to seal the ghost in the villa, but he didn't know what went wrong a few days ago. The ghost showed particularly strong aggressiveness and could not communicate at all.

Over the next few days, the ghosts became more and more aggressive, and the blockade of the villa could no longer hold up.

Gu Xifeng had no choice but to ask the Taoist priest for help.

After reading the information, Liu Ergou also came.

Gu Qingyin asked: "Gu Xifeng didn't kill him, did he?"

Liu Ergou was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He raised his head and said, "No, I checked. It was suicide."

Gu Qingyin nodded and continued to ask: "What is the relationship between the two of them?"

Liu Ergou straightened his back and bent it again. "Is this important?"

Gu Qingyin said seriously, "It's not important, but I'm curious. Gossip is a woman's nature."

Liu Ergou said, "You can ask the person involved when the time comes."

"Okay." Gu Qingyin stood up, picked up the last piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth, "Let's go now."

Liu Ergou glanced at the empty plate and sighed in regret. He was so busy talking that he didn't eat a single bite!

The villa where the ghosts are sealed off is in the eastern suburbs of Yuncheng.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. Many rich people would buy a villa here, but it is too far from the city and the owners would only come here to stay for a few days when they have some free time, so most of the villas are empty.

This also made it easier for Gu Xifeng to place the ghost.

When the two arrived, Gu Xifeng was already waiting outside the gate of the villa. "Master." Gu Xifeng came over, nodded politely, and went straight to the point, "Is there anything else to prepare?"

Liu Ergou shook his head, took out his phone and checked the time, "Wait another ten minutes."

He stared at the villa with heavy eyes, his heart tightening. This ghost committed suicide, was trapped after death, and his resentment grew. Now it has become a fierce ghost. The whole villa is shrouded in ghost energy. The talismans used to seal the ghosts are no longer useful.

The reason why the evil ghost didn't escape was because it had turned into a groundbound spirit and couldn't run away at all.

Gu Qingyin was also observing, and after making a quick judgment, she sent a message to Liu Ergou.

After reading it, Liu Ergou explained the situation to Gu Xifeng with a serious expression, and finally pointed out the key point - to raise the price.

Gu Xifeng smiled instead of getting angry, "Master, do you mean that she can't leave now even if she wants to?"

Liu Ergou nodded coldly, acting like a hermit. "This ghost has been brought back to her senses by her resentment and has turned into an evil spirit that only knows how to kill. If left alone, the area where she can move will become larger and larger, and the residents around her will also be implicated."

Gu Xifeng pondered and said, "Master, are you sure you can awaken her sanity?"

Liu Ergou didn't dare to make a firm statement. He looked at Gu Qingyin with a sidelong glance. When he saw her nod slightly, he pretended to be profound and said, "It's a bit difficult. If I try my best, I have an 80% chance of success."

Gu Xifeng made up his mind, "Master, I want to change the content of the commission. I don't need to catch her, I just need to awaken her reason."

She wanted to catch the ghost before, to seal it up, bring it back to where he lived, and worship it every day to eliminate her resentment. But now she can't leave, and she is afraid that she will have to place an altar in the villa in the future.

"Twenty million." Liu Ergou made the offer calmly, but his heart was pounding.

Gu Qingyin was really bold to ask for it. He had never offered such a high price in all the years he had been a celestial master! It was outrageous!
"Okay." Gu Xifeng agreed immediately.

Liu Ergou was shocked. After all, this world had gone insane and he couldn't understand it.

Gu Qingyin narrowed her eyes and said, "Tsk, I reported too little."

As soon as ten minutes were up, Gu Qingyin followed Liu Ergou towards the villa.

Gu Xifeng then gave Gu Qingyin a look, "She is also a Heavenly Master?"

"Yeah." Liu Ergou coughed lightly and said, "My friend's apprentice, help me."

Gu Qingyin smiled and nodded.

This was the identity the two had agreed upon when they came.

Gu Qingyin was young and beautiful, which did not fit the image of a Taoist priest in the eyes of the public, so she fabricated an identity for convenience. Originally, Gu Qingyin wanted to pretend to be Liu Ergou's apprentice, but was sternly rejected.

The reason was very sufficient. Liu Ergou was afraid of shortening his life, so he made friends out of nothing.

Gu Xifeng didn't ask any more questions. He just followed the two of them silently, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Until they stood at the door of the villa, Gu Qingyin had to remind: "Mr. Gu, you can't go in."

"Why?" Gu Xifeng frowned, "I could watch before."

Gu Qingyin smiled, "Before she was just an ordinary ghost, and now she is a grounded spirit that has transformed into an evil spirit. How can they be the same? We accepted the commission to restore the evil spirit's sanity. If we also have to add the work of protecting the client..."

Gu Qingyin smiled even more happily, "That's another price."
