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

Chapter 43 Exploitation and Counter-Exploitation
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xian is certainly not that stupid, but he has obviously been bewitched by the ghost cultivator. He believes whatever the ghost cultivator says and turns a blind eye to even the most obvious flaws.

With Lin Xian in hand, Gui Xiu has an extra hostage, a loyal hostage who has been brainwashed and will automatically follow him.

Gu Qingyin sighed. Things had become more complicated. She didn't like dealing with complicated commissions. It was too tiring to use her brain.

"Let's go." Gu Qingyin turned and walked upstairs, "Go to your room and get the talisman back. No matter which one is real or fake, it won't prevent you from using the talisman to protect yourself."

Lin was convinced and followed Gu Qingyin upstairs. He was like a barrier, standing between the real and fake Lin Tian. He didn't feel scared at all, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with not being afraid.

Lin Tian, who was walking in front, thought to himself, wait until Lin gets the talisman first, and then see how that fake "Lin Tian" can continue to pester him!
"Lin Tian" lowered her eyes and thought about countermeasures. Although the time they had met was not long, it was enough for her to have some understanding of Gu Qingyin. He was a Taoist priest with some abilities, but he was not someone that she should be afraid of. What she was afraid of was that she would not be able to keep Gu Qingyin completely, which would lead to endless troubles.

"Lin Tian" sighed secretly. Actually, she quite liked the life as a smart housekeeper here. She could chat with people openly. But it was a pity that she had to leave after tonight.

Soon, the group of four arrived at Lin Xian's room.

Gu Qingyin didn't enter the room. She stood by the door and said, "Go ahead and come out when you're done."

After Lin Xian entered the door, he pondered for a few seconds. He didn't take the talisman seriously at that time and just put it aside and forgot about it.

It took him a while to find the talisman in the gap between the bedside table and the bed.

Gu Qingyin's eyes twitched when she saw this. Damn, she felt like her hard work was wasted - luckily it had already been sold.

Lin Xian put the talisman into his pocket, turned around and his expression changed, "Where's Lin Tian?!"

Huh? Gu Qingyin turned her head and saw that only the little girl beside her was left. She didn't even notice when she slipped away.

Gu Qingyin hissed. It was not right to make such a low-level mistake.

But this is an opportunity.

"It is obvious that she is fake. She is afraid of the talisman, so she ran away." Gu Qingyin said this and walked forward calmly, forming a seal with one hand and silently reciting a spell, trying to wake Lin Xian up.

Lin Xian's current state is like a nightmare and he cannot be awakened by force. If his soul is damaged, it will be more trouble than gain.

So Gu Qingyin didn't take any action. She was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to make Lin Xian doubt and no longer be firm.

At this moment, Gu Qingyin felt that the time had come. If "Lin Tian" disappeared before proving herself, Lin Xian would definitely have doubts in her heart. Even if the doubts were so small that she herself did not notice them, it would be enough.

But at the moment when Gu Qingyin raised her hand, Lin Xian nimbly took two steps back, his face full of vigilance, "Who are you? Are you in the same group with that ghost? Where did you take Lin Tian?"

Gu Qingyin paused and fell silent.

She underestimated Lin Xian's train of thought. He was suspicious, but the object of his suspicion was not that "Lin Tian", but them.

Gu Qingyin had the urge to curse, but relying on her professionalism gained from years of work, she took a deep breath and forced herself to hold it back.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the door, "Brother? Did you find the talisman?"

Lin Tian, who was standing at the door, suddenly got goose bumps. Without even daring to turn her head, she jumped to Gu Qingyin and grabbed her tightly.

Gu Qingyin felt ashamed, "You have two talismans on you, be brave, she won't dare to touch you."

Lin Tian nodded obediently, but held her hands tightly, not daring to relax at all.

Lin Xian took the opportunity to rush out from behind the two of them, ran to the side of "Lin Tian" at the door, and said in a very aggressive tone: "Why are you running around? I thought something happened to you. Why didn't you tell me before you left?" "Lin Tian"'s eyes were red, biting her lip and said pitifully: "I'm sorry, I just felt a little cold, so I went back to my room to put on some clothes."

Lin Tian had a look of horror and disgust on her face, and she grumbled softly, "This ghost is still a little white lotus!"

Lin Xian frowned, raised his hand and pressed it on "Lin Tian's" forehead, "You don't have a fever, why do you keep getting sick, why don't you go to the hospital?"

Lin Tian froze for a moment, clenched her fists and resisted the urge to dodge, then said gently, "It's just a minor problem, no need to go to the hospital. If the media took pictures of you, who knows what would happen."

Lin Xian disagreed in his heart, but he compromised with her and said, "Then I'll ask the accompanying doctor to come over and take a look tomorrow morning."

"Lin Tian" smiled and nodded, "Thank you, brother."

“Hiss——!” Gu Qingyin felt a sharp pain in her arm. She looked down and saw that Lin Tian’s pale pink nails had dug into her flesh. She raised her hand and slapped him, “You’re repaying kindness with enmity, aren’t you?”

Lin Tian's eyes were red, and she was indignant. "I have never seen such a shameless ghost! That's my brother!"

Gu Qingyin rubbed her arm, speechless, as if she had seen many ghosts.

“Sister Qing! You’d better think of a solution quickly!” Lin Tian grabbed Gu Qingyin’s arm again and shook it hard.

"Okay, okay, let me go first!"

After Gu Qingyin regained her freedom, she began to look through her bag. There were many kinds of talismans in her bag, and it took her a long time to find the right one - an exorcism talisman, which would attack automatically when it touched evil spirits, and it was quite powerful, just right for use now.

Gu Qingyin held the exorcism talisman in her hand and rushed out in one stride, so fast that an afterimage was almost left.

Of course, Lin Xian, an ordinary person, couldn't react in time. The "Lin Tian" in front of him took a few steps back in time, and in less than a second, he had put a long distance between himself and Lin Xian, staring at Gu Qingyin vigilantly.

But unexpectedly, Gu Qingyin stopped when she reached the door, looked at "Lin Tian" with a half-smile, and said meaningfully: "You're very fast."

"Lin Tian"'s expression changed slightly. She looked past Gu Qingyin and immediately looked at Lin Xian. The latter's expression was indeed not right.

"Brother, I'm just too scared. I don't know what's going on..."

Lin Xian looked at her with a dim gaze and said nothing.

Gu Qingyin snorted coldly, turned around and patted Lin Xian's shoulder very naturally, "Open your eyes and take a good look. Don't trust your own judgment too much. Ghosts are best at deceiving people."

Lin Xian's mind was in a state of confusion. He began to doubt "Lin Tian", but he did not believe that the other Lin Tian was his sister. What if both of them were fake? Then where was the real Lin Tian?

He also didn't notice that there was a talisman stuck to the back of his shoulder.

Gu Qingyin looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly formed a seal with one hand, tapped his forehead, and then shouted, "Wake up!"

The voice was low but very penetrating, instantly piercing through the fog in Lin Xian's mind.

Lin Xian stood there in a daze.

Lin Tian's face changed drastically, and she shouted anxiously, "Brother!"

At the same time, the Yin Qi in the house surged and rushed towards Lin Xian. But as soon as the Yin Qi approached him, it was like water encountering fire, and it dissipated with a "sizzle" sound. "Lin Tian" on the other side couldn't help but let out a scream.
