"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Renbao thought she was playing a game with her, so he pinched the candied hawthorn stick, pointed it at the old Taoist priest, and shouted along.

The little ghosts on the old Taoist covered their ears. As soon as Renbao opened his mouth, they felt a powerful pressure from all directions, shaking their souls to the point of shattering.

They hurriedly begged for mercy: "King Yama, please stop shouting, please send us to the underworld!"

Renbao was delighted to see them and generously offered them some candied hawthorns: "These candied hawthorns are delicious, sweet and sour, you should try some too."

The closer she got, the more the debt-collecting demons trembled; the natural pressure of the King of Hell terrified them.

Waaaaah, I want to cry, I want to run away.

How could they be so unlucky? They finally managed to get a job with a half-baked Taoist priest and live a life of luxury, but before they could enjoy it for more than a few days, they ran into the King of Hell in the human world.

Compal enthusiastically invited them, saying, "Eat, eat!"

The debt collector: "Please eat, please eat."

They dared to share a candied hawthorn with the King of Hell, fearing they would be punished by the Black and White Impermanence.

The old Taoist priest had never seen such an unconventional child. Not only was she not afraid of him, but she also spoke to him, though not as if she were talking to him. The key point was that he really felt a chill all over his body.

"Madam, look at her talking to herself, that's clearly not right!" The old Taoist turned around and spoke to Madam Su.

Madam Su was very excited: "Yes, that's it!"

Pei Yuru was anxious and beckoned to Renbao: "Renbao, come here in your mother's presence."

Renbao shook her head and said coquettishly, "No, Granny Mei found someone to play with me, I want to play with him."

She was beaming with excitement.

Pei Yuru choked, feeling both worried and amused. Her Renbao, oh, still didn't know how treacherous people could be.

Pei Yuru nodded to Bai Zhi and other trusted confidants, and told them to protect Renbao immediately if they sensed anything amiss.

The old Taoist priest held the talisman in his hand: "Madam, this talisman..."

Madam Su was very perceptive: "Master, please feel free to speak."

The old Taoist priest said, "One hundred taels."

"Give!"

Granny Cui stepped forward and slipped a hundred-tael silver note into his pocket.

The old Taoist priest glanced at it with satisfaction, then a flame appeared at his fingertips, startling everyone into widening their eyes. He threw the burning talisman at Renbao: "Go!"

Madam Su gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly, a strange light flashing in her eyes!

"Compao!"

Pei Yuru immediately rushed to Renbao's side.

The talisman was faster than her, but to everyone's surprise, before it even got close to Renbao, it turned around and flew towards the old Taoist priest as if it had eyes.

"Put out the fire quickly!"

In an instant, the old Taoist's robe caught fire, and he covered his buttocks, jumping up and down like a monkey.

"Ouch! It's burning me! Help me put out the fire!" the old Taoist priest exclaimed, his ethereal and otherworldly demeanor vanishing without a trace. He grinned, looking quite comical.

What made the old Taoist priest even more desperate was that the hundred-tael silver note that Madam Su had given him was burned.

"My silver!" the old Taoist priest cried out in despair.

His disheveled appearance was almost unbearable to look at.

Now that things have come to this, what is there left to be confused about? This old Taoist priest is just a half-baked amateur with poor skills!

Old Madam Su was so angry she almost ground her back teeth to powder. Not only did she fail to define Renbao's character, she also made her lose face completely!

Pei Yuru gave Bai Zhi a wink, and the latter understood, leading men to extinguish the fire on the old lady's body.

"Mother, the fire burned him himself, what evil spirit could it be?" Pei Yuru said sarcastically to Old Madam Su. "Or are you saying there was no evil spirit at all, and that you're just slandering my Renbao with your empty words!"

Old Madam Su was embarrassed and vehemently denied it: "How could I do such a thing? I was deceived by him."

The old Taoist priest looked miserable, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground: "Your manor is truly strange. I must leave now. Farewell."

He lifted his leg, intending to slip away.

His Taoist robe was stolen, and now it's burned away too.

I really lost my wife and broke down!

"Those little devils are still following you. If you don't get rid of them, your life will continue to be miserable," Renbao said while licking a candied hawthorn.

The old Taoist stopped in his tracks. He had indeed always lived in poverty, and whenever he earned a little money, something unexpected would happen.

He suffers from headaches and broken legs. Although he seems to earn a lot of money, he actually lives a miserable life, barely making ends meet.

Could it be that he really has a debt-collecting ghost on him?

The old Taoist priest looked at Renbao with a serious expression, and his body trembled. This face, with its full forehead and rounded chin... it was the face of the King of Cheng.

The old Taoist's knees buckled; he had encountered the man of destiny!

Everyone was shocked and bewildered. He was... kneeling down in front of a three-year-old toddler?

Then, seeing Renbao licking the candied hawthorn with a satisfied look on his face, everyone was somewhat dazed.

The old Taoist priest felt he had offended Renbao, and wept bitterly, pointing at Madam Su and revealing everything. "It was she who instructed me to slander you as an evil spirit. I was wrong. Please forgive my rudeness and help me."

With his mouth full of candied hawthorns, Renbao's words were somewhat muffled: "Okay, but I have to collect the money."

The old Taoist priest's eyes showed bitterness: "Young lady, my pockets are emptier than my face."

Renbao chuckled and said, "Once the little devil collecting debts on you leaves, you'll be able to make money!"

The old Taoist priest asked with delight, "How much would the young lady like?"

"One hundred taels, you don't have it now, but you have to give it to me later." Renbao yawned. Treating her father's leg had taken a lot of her energy, and she was feeling sleepy. She reached out to Pei Yuru, "Mommy, hug me."

Pei Yuru quickly picked her up.

Although the old Taoist was terrified by the large sum of money (over a hundred taels), he understood the principle that as long as one could get rid of the troublesome ghosts, there would always be opportunities to make a living.

The old Taoist priest nodded: "Okay, I'll give you the money I earn in the future."

Renbao nodded with satisfaction, casually made a hand seal, pulled the debt-collecting ghosts from his body, clenched his fists, and threw them directly into the underworld.

The old Taoist priest instantly felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, and all his dizziness and fatigue disappeared.

Debt-collecting imp: Great! I can finally go to the underworld!

"Thank you very much, young lady." The old Taoist priest was extremely grateful. Before leaving, he deliberately stopped beside Madam Su, saying, "To smear your own granddaughter, I despise you!"

Madam Su lost face completely and immediately returned to Yihe Hall, where she remained secluded for several days.

"The old lady is really confused. She doesn't dote on her smart and lovely young lady, but instead dotes on a fake heiress."

"Indeed, young lady must be a reincarnation of a celestial being, that old Taoist priest treats her with utmost respect."

"You'd better treat the young lady with more respect from now on."

The public opinion surrounding Madam Su and Renbao reversed overnight.

Hearing the murmurs outside the window, Su Chengxiao's gentle face flashed with a hint of malice, and he got up and walked outside.

The servants' voices fell silent abruptly.

Su Chengxiao's expression softened as he asked a few questions in detail.

The servants informed them of what had happened at Qingzhu Courtyard.

Su Chengxiao seemed to be thinking about something. He smiled and said softly, "I haven't met Renbao yet. I should go and see him."

The servants watched his retreating figure and exclaimed, "The young master has such a good temper!"

"Husband, you..." Pei Yuru stared in disbelief at Su Xuance, who stood up from his wheelchair, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Xuance opened his arms to her, and Pei Yuru rushed over, and the two embraced.

He said, "I can only stand up, but I can't walk yet."

Pei Yuru choked up: "One day, my husband will surely be able to walk as fast as the wind."

"Daddy's legs still have some stagnant energy blocking his meridians. Renbao will massage them every day, and he'll be able to walk soon!"

Su Xuance and Pei Yuru separated instantly, and Su Xuance looked down at Renbao, who had appeared beside him at some point, and both of them blushed.

"Father wants to thank Renbao," Su Xuance said, sitting back in his wheelchair and awkwardly picking her up.

Renbao, the child who brought him hope, made Su Xuance's heart, which had been closed for so long, soften completely as he looked at the innocent Renbao.

Once his leg ailment is cured, he will be able to protect his wife and daughter.

He will settle accounts with those who have hurt them, one by one.

"Second brother, this must be Renbao."

Su Chengxiao pushed open the door and entered.
