The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

Looking at the middle-aged man's desperate expression, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Boss, are you willing to believe me?"

I spoke to him.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly, but quickly dimmed again.

He gave a desperate laugh, then shook his head.

"Mr. Qin, my matter is serious. If you are not confident, then forget it. I don't want to harm more people."

I was moved the moment the middle-aged man opened his mouth.

He is now in dire straits, yet his first instinct is to think of others.

People with this kind of quality are rare these days.

I secretly resolved that no matter what, I would do my best to save this middle-aged man and his family.

"It's alright. I've followed Master Qin since I was a child, and I've learned most of his skills. We can handle your matter."

I tugged at Ning Jinrou, who was sitting next to me.

Ning Jinrou was stunned for a moment.

Her face clearly showed reluctance as she muttered, "I won't do work that doesn't pay."

Master Qin never charges for his consultations, and he has a strict rule that Guanshanlou will not accept any money or funds on the 17th day of the tenth lunar month.

Ning Jinrou was very puzzled by this ridiculous rule. It wasn't until some time later that I realized that this rule by Third Master Qin was actually set for me!

Ning Jinrou really didn't want to get involved in something so thankless and exhausting.

I smiled and said to her, "Consider it doing good deeds for yourself."

Just as Ning Jinrou and I were whispering to each other, a piercing sound rang out.

"What good is it if a kid who hasn't even grown up yet grows up by Master Qin's side? Aren't they afraid of biting off more than they can chew?"

The person speaking was still Huo Ke.

He looked at me with disdain at that moment.

I also got a little angry at Huo Ke's repeated belittling of me.

I don't know if the wind will sting my tongue, but you, from now on, can forget about ever stepping into Guanshanlou again.

I said it coldly.

Huo Ke's face immediately darkened.

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

He glared at me fiercely.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Then do you know who I am?"

I immediately retorted.

Huo Ke was immediately speechless.

He stared wide-eyed, momentarily at a loss for words.

Several people who knew him looked at me with disbelief.

Who is Huo Ke? He is one of the most important figures in the entire Qingshan City.

I actually got roasted by some kid today!

Even if this young upstart has Master Qin standing behind him.

But isn't this a bit too arrogant?

The fact that Secretary-General Huo was standing here waiting for Guanshanlou to open its doors already showed Qin Sanye a great deal of respect.

Even if Master Qin himself were here, he shouldn't speak like that.

Huo Ke laughed in exasperation.

He took two steps forward, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses staring straight at me.

"I really don't know who you are, but if you have any real skills, let us see them and protect the reputation of your Guanshanlou."

"If you're all talk and no action... then there's no need to open this Guanshan Tower."

Huo Ke said in a nonchalant tone.

As a close confidant of the mayor, he certainly had the ability.

As for whether closing Guanshanlou would offend Master Qin, that was not on Huo Ke's mind.

Even if Master Qin comes to question him later, he will have a way to deal with it.

I ignored Huo Ke and turned to look at the middle-aged man whose face was full of despair.

"Shall we talk inside?"

I said to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, a struggle in his eyes.

It's not that he hasn't reached a life-or-death moment yet.

On the contrary, what happened to him was too terrifying and too bizarre.

He felt that if anyone in Qingshan City could save him, it would only be Master Qin, who was known as a living god.

Now that Master Qin is gone, a young man who is no more than a teenager has appeared.

He was genuinely a little uneasy.

If I am not strong enough, I am very likely to die in this incident.

But middle-aged men really have no choice.

Between good and selfishness, he ultimately leaned towards selfishness.

He figured he might as well try anything, since the young man in front of him might actually have the ability to handle his problem.

With that thought in mind, the middle-aged man took a step and entered Guanshan Tower.

Behind them, a group of people led by Huo Ke also wanted to come and see what was going on.

Just as they approached the door.

My brow furrowed slightly.

He instructed Ning Jinrou, "Close the door!"

Ning Jinrou didn't refute me on this point, and slammed the door of Guanshanlou shut.

Huo Ke, who was standing at the very front, was almost hit by the door, and his face immediately darkened.

"very good!"

He gritted his teeth and stared intently at the closed door.

"Secretary-General Huo, this kid is too arrogant. I don't know if he's really capable or just bluffing."

Beside him, a bald man whispered in Hawke's ear.

Do you know who that person who just went in is?

Huo Ke asked with a gloomy face.

The people around looked at each other, and just as everyone fell silent, a weak voice came from behind.

"His...his name is Liang Dong. He runs a karaoke bar and does some borderline business..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ke's eyes narrowed immediately.

In his eyes, Liang Dong was a nobody.

"If you want to know if this brat has any real skills, just keep an eye on Liang Dong."

……

Inside Guanshanlou.

I brewed a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Liang Dong.

Liang Dong's face was still full of worry. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know how to say it.

I saw through Liang Dong's thoughts and chuckled, "Mr. Liang, I'm a professional in this area. If you don't say anything, even a god couldn't save you."

Liang Dong looked up at me.

"Why!"

Liang Dong let out a heavy sigh.

After looking around and confirming that it was just Ning Jinrou and me in the house, I finally spoke.

"Sir, I've encountered a ghost!"

He finally decided to speak.

I didn't say anything, and waited quietly for him to continue.

Liang Dong had completely gone all out and began to tell his story.

According to Liang Dong, he owns a karaoke business called Huanchang.

The karaoke bar was quite large, and it employed twenty or thirty women.

Thanks to these hostesses, the karaoke business has always been relatively good.

Since it's a karaoke establishment with a business aspect, there must be some shady dealings involved.

Liang Dong was actually aware of these shady dealings, but he always turned a blind eye.

As long as it's not too outrageous, Liang Dong can pretend he doesn't know.

Liang Dong had a madam working for him.

The madam's surname was Chen, and she was a woman in her forties who still retained her charm.

Madam Chen manages all the girls at the karaoke bar.

He was considered one of Liang Dong's core personnel.

Now, Liang Dong is possessed by evil spirits, which is closely related to this madam Chen!
