The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Yaoyao, I want to see Brother Chen Hao, I want to see Brother Chen Hao]

[Amazing: Where's Qingqing? I haven't seen her!]

[Shabobi: What will Yaoyao broadcast today?]

Chen Siyao thought for a moment and said, "What should we stream? How about playing King of Glory?"

The live chat exploded instantly:

[I am Ying Zheng: No!!!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Yaoyao, calm down! Don't do anything rash!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: We're on the same side! We're on the same side! Please let us go!]

[No more space travel: Yao Yao just finished eating, you can save your food-themed content for mealtime!]

[Me: Yes, yes, yes! Yao Yao, since there's nothing else to broadcast, show us Master Chen!]

[Ranking Tips: +1 for wanting to see Master Chen!]

[Shi Ye: +10086! Let Hao Ge appear on camera!]

[Pengda Xiaoyou: I saw Master Chen at the gate of Pengda University today! He's a million times more handsome in person than in the live stream! So aloof and ascetic, so cool!]

Chen Siyao looked at the comments and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You guys really don't want to watch me play games?"

[I am Ying Zheng: I don't want to! I absolutely don't want to!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Yaoyao, we still vividly remember your 0-10-2 score!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Let us go, and let your teammates go too!]

Chen Siyao huffed angrily, but she knew in her heart that she was indeed bad at playing games.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go ask my brother if it's convenient for him to do a live stream. He's in his study, probably busy."

She got up, walked to the study door, and knocked.

"Come in."

Chen Siyao pushed open the door and poked her head in: "Brother, can I do a live stream? The viewers want to see you."

Chen Hao was sitting at his desk, with yellow paper spread out in front of him and a calligraphy brush in his hand, drawing something.

He looked up at her and said, "Okay."

Chen Siyao happily pushed open the door, set up her phone, and aimed it at Chen Hao.

Studio:

[I am Ying Zheng: Holy crap! Master Chen is drawing talismans!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: What an amazing scene!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Drawing talismans! It really is drawing talismans!]

[Mystical Expert: So handsome! A man who's serious is the most handsome!]

Chen Siyao leaned closer and looked curiously at the yellow paper in front of Chen Hao.

The paper is covered with intricate patterns, the lines are smooth and flowing, drawn in one go, and faintly glow with a golden light.

"Brother, what are you doing?" she asked.

Chen Hao didn't even look up: "Draw a talisman."

"What kind of talisman should I draw?"

"Exorcism talisman, house protection talisman."

Chen Siyao was taken aback: "Is this for our family? Isn't our house clean?"

Chen Hao put down his pen, looked at her, and slowly said, "There are evil spirits in this neighborhood."

Chen Siyao's smile froze on her face.

The live stream went silent for a second, and then:

【I am Ying Zheng: Evil, evil spirits?!】

[Weihai: Isn't that... a ghost?!]

[Tea taster: Is the neighborhood haunted?!]

[Cherry Blossom Garden asked: I suddenly feel chilly in my house too.]

[Wang Pingping: Yao Yao, run!]

Chen Siyao felt a chill run down her back and instinctively moved closer to Chen Hao.

"Brother, don't scare me..."

Chen Hao looked at her and said calmly, "I'm not trying to scare you. This neighborhood used to be a mass grave. Although it was dealt with when the buildings were constructed, the feng shui has changed recently, and some spirits might be able to escape."

Chen Siyao's face turned pale: "A soul... a spirit? Isn't that a ghost? Is the neighborhood haunted?!"

Chen Hao remained unfazed: "We must believe in science. There are no ghosts, only spirits."

Chen Siyao: "..."

Studio:

[I am Ying Zheng: I believe in science... there are no ghosts... they are just spirits...]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Master Chen, do you have some misunderstanding about science?]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Hahahaha, this is hilarious! Believing in science is the essence of the soul.]

[Mystical Expert: I give Master Chen's explanation a perfect score]

Chen Siyao paused for a moment, then asked, "Brother, can the talisman you drew suppress them?"

Chen Hao nodded: "After I finished drawing it and put it up at home, they didn't dare to come in."

Chen Siyao breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered something: "What if we run into them while walking in the neighborhood?"

Clutching Chen Hao's arm, she said with a worried expression, "Brother, can't you just get rid of all these spirits and fix the feng shui formation? Otherwise, I'm always scared when I walk around the neighborhood."

"Doctors don't knock on doors, divinations don't come out empty-handed, and the Dao isn't easily passed on," Chen Hao said slowly, his tone indifferent. "Besides, it was someone else who set up the feng shui formation. If I had acted rashly, I would have broken the rules and it wouldn't have been in accordance with Daoist teachings."

Chen Hao picked up a piece of Hetian jade and began carving it, saying, "I will make you a protective pendant. If you wear it, those spirits will stay far away from you."

Chen Siyao's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great!"

She leaned closer to look at Chen Hao's carving.

The piece of Hetian jade was pure white and had a fine texture; it was clearly a high-quality material. The carving knife in Chen Hao's hand was very small, but it seemed to come alive in his fingertips as he made each stroke with fluid grace.

Suddenly, someone sent a comment in the live stream chat:

[Jade carver He Weimin: I am He Weimin, an inheritor of Suzhou jade carving techniques. This friend's carving skills... are simply amazing!]

[Lingwanbuling: Holy crap! Even jade carving masters have appeared!]

[These are two different things: What did the master say?]

[Jade carver He Weimin: This carving technique, this strength, this fluidity... surpasses even the skill of my late master! I have never seen anyone carve such intricate patterns on such a small jade pendant!]

[Jade merchant Fan Ze: Master He's master is a recognized master carver, but Master Chen is even more skilled than the most skilled master.]

[Loves Jade: The craftsmanship alone, as seen in the live stream, is astonishing]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Master Chen even knows jade carving?!]

[Triple the Rewards: Is there anything Master Chen can't do?]

[Honghong: An all-around perfect male god! I love him!]

Chen Siyao looked at the comments and smiled smugly: "Of course, my brother is the best!"

Chen Hao ignored her and continued to focus on carving.

About half an hour later, the first pendant was completed.

It was a small safety buckle, pure white, with intricate runes engraved on the front, faintly gleaming with a golden light under the lamp.

"So beautiful!" Chen Siyao took it, admiring it dearly.

Chen Hao picked up the second piece of jade and continued carving.

Chen Siyao put the pendant around her neck and showed it off to the camera: "Family members, did you see that? My brother made it by hand! Aren't you envious?"

[I am Ying Zheng: Envious! So envious!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Yaoyao, could you please get me one? I'll pay for it!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: I want one too!]

[Qin Jia Xiaoyu: I'm genuinely envious, jealous, and resentful]

Chen Siyao smiled smugly: "Not for sale, not for sale, this is a limited edition!"

After drawing the talisman and carving the pendant, Chen Hao put down the carving knife and picked up the several talisman papers he had drawn.

He formed a mudra with his hands and muttered incantations.

Then, give it a gentle push.

The talismans suddenly floated up on their own, spun in the air, and then transformed into several golden rays, flying out of the window and disappearing into the night.

Chen Siyao's eyes widened: "Brother! Where's the talisman?!"

Chen Hao said calmly, "It's already taken effect. They've flown off to suppress every corner of this building."
