The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 20

Ch 20: Belated Affection

In principle, it is only natural for a fierce ghost to seek revenge. Even a Taoist Master who accidentally stumbles upon the scene would wait for the fierce ghost to settle its personal grievances before intervening.

But the current situation is a bit tricky. Gu Xifeng paid, and he paid a lot.

Gu Qingyin was very depressed. How come clients have learned to lie now? Does she have to investigate the client’s entire life history before accepting an order in the future? No wonder the affinity fee is so expensive now; there are too many things to do.

Indeed, Dai Jingyan wasn’t killed by Gu Xifeng, but he definitely qualifies as an indirect murderer!

“What do we do now?” Liu Ergou leaned close to Gu Qingyin and asked in a low voice.

Gu Qingyin “hissed” and pondered, “No matter what, we’ll get rid of the resentment first. After Dai Jingyan regains her senses, we’ll see what she wants. If worst comes to worst, we won’t take the final payment!”

Twenty-five million, with twelve million five hundred thousand already received, they’ll still make a profit even if they don’t collect the final payment!

Although they receive money from people to help them eliminate disasters, they are good Taoist Master with a conscience.

“You control him, and I’ll set up the formation.” Gu Qingyin estimated the time, “About three to five minutes.”

Liu Ergou solemnly nodded, “Okay.”

Liu Ergou held a sword in one hand and a compass in the other. Without any obvious movements, the compass suddenly shot out golden light, hitting Dai Jingyan’s ghost body directly.

A shrill scream followed.

At the same time, Gu Qingyin moved, with talismans and peach wood nails flying from her hands, each one accurately landing beside Dai Jingyan, gradually forming a profound formation.

Gu Xifeng wiped away his tears and looked at Dai Jingyan, who was screaming in the golden light, with pity in his eyes.

He was the one who did wrong, but the one being punished was the person he loved. This wasn’t fair.

Gu Xifeng had a sudden impulse, turned his head, and violently rammed into Liu Ergou.

Liu Ergou was caught off guard, and the compass in his hand fell to the ground.

Dai Jingyan instantly broke free, scattering the almost-completed formation into a mess.

Gu Qingyin frowned and clicked her tongue, “Idiot.”

At the same time, her hands moved non-stop, flicking out three peach wood nails, aiming for Dai Jingyan’s brow and shoulders.

Dai Jingyan rolled over to dodge, crouching on the ground and baring her teeth at Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes, and Spiritual Power Hand turned into silk in her hand, shooting out like a spider web, sticking to the scattered talismans and peach wood nails. With a gentle hook, they returned to their original positions.

Dai Jingyan had a bad feeling and waved her hand to release a large amount of Yin energy, wanting to break open the formation again, but before she could act, she was trapped by the golden light again.

Gu Qingyin looked back and saw Gu Xifeng tied up with red rope and thrown to the side. She paused, silently turned her head back, and pretended not to see it.

As the last peach wood nail fell, the formation was complete. A strong white light erupted, engulfing Dai Jingyan.

Gu Xifeng’s eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, “Jingyan!”

Liu Ergou went up and kicked him, saying unhappily, “She’s purifying resentment, what are you shouting for? We shouldn’t have brought you in; it almost caused a major incident.”

If they had been any other two Taoist Master here today, they would have been skinned alive even if they didn’t die. It’s just them, with their strong strength and tacit understanding!

The purification lasted a full eight minutes. The white light dissipated, and Dai Jingyan in the center of the formation became semi-transparent, looking a little weak, but her eyes had returned to a clear black and white state.

Dai Jingyan bowed to Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou respectively, requesting, “Please, Masters, send me to reincarnation.”

“Have you thought it through?” Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow and asked.

Dai Jingyan calmly nodded.

“No!” Gu Xifeng shouted like a worm wriggling on the ground, “You can’t go!” Dai Jingyan didn’t even spare him a glance. He then looked at Liu Ergou and said anxiously, “The commission is over, you can leave!”

Liu Ergou picked at his ear and said disdainfully, “We don’t want the final payment.”

Gu Xifeng was stunned, then roared, “You’re breaching the contract! I’m going to expose you!”

Liu Ergou: “Oh, whatever you want.”

Gu Xifeng had no choice but to look at Dai Jingyan with red eyes, “Do you hate me that much?”

Hearing this, Dai Jingyan finally turned her gaze to him and said calmly, “I don’t hate you. I only hope that in the next life, the next next life, for all eternity, we will never meet again.”

Gu Xifeng’s tears fell, his heart aching so much that he could hardly breathe. He could only watch Dai Jingyan’s figure become fainter and fainter, her expression becoming more and more peaceful, until she disappeared completely.

From then on, it was eternal farewell.

With the fierce ghost gone, the resentment and Yin energy in the villa were still heavy.

Gu Qingyin took out a few talismans and stuck them on the doors, windows, and walls. After finishing, she walked to Gu Xifeng and said in a businesslike manner, “After forty-nine days, you can renovate and live here again.”

Liu Ergou went forward to untie Gu Xifeng, carefully putting away the red rope like a treasure, “We’ll leave first. Goodbye, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Xifeng didn’t move even after Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou left the villa.

He was thinking about how things had gotten to this point. In the beginning, he had wanted to get rid of the arranged marriage as soon as possible and return to Dai Jingyan’s side. He didn’t know which step went wrong, leading to one mistake after another, beyond redemption.

Gu Xifeng closed his eyes. His Jingyan completely loathed him.

As soon as they got in the car, Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou divided the money and then donated it through their phones. This was already a fixed procedure, so familiar that they couldn’t be more familiar with it.

“Are you free tomorrow?” Liu Ergou asked with some anticipation, “Senior Disciple Chen has come to Yuncity. Let’s get together.”

Chen Ling? Not very familiar, but still considered an old acquaintance. Gu Qingyin nodded in agreement, “Okay, let me know whenever the place is booked.”

Back at the Old House, Gu Qingyin sorted out her things in the study. These two missions had consumed a lot. She needed to restock yellow paper and cinnabar, and most of the money earned today would be spent tomorrow.

That’s why Taoist Master are generally poor. The costs are high, the risks are great, and the affinity fee looks like a lot, but in the end, it’s all earned by others.

The next morning, Gu Qingyin took a car to Antique Street, heading straight for the Zhēnpǐn store.

Coincidentally, Qin Zhen was minding the store today, and Lin Jiaqin was also there.

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering if these two were openly together now?

When Qin Zhen saw Gu Qingyin again, he lacked the enthusiasm he had shown last time and instead felt a little awkward, but he still greeted her with a smile, “Master Gu is here to restock?”

Gu Qingyin nodded, “Cinnabar, yellow paper, and a set of peach wood nails as well.”

Qin Zhen nodded with a smile, “Wait a moment, I’ll go get them from the back.”

He turned and went to the back of the store. Lin Jiaqin then said, “I heard that Master Gu is over forty years old, but you look like a young girl in her early twenties. Does Master have any beauty secrets?”

Gu Qingyin thought, she is indeed in her twenties, simply young, why would she need any secrets?

“No secrets, just my personal constitution.”

Lin Jiaqin obviously didn’t believe it, “If Master Gu really has a secret recipe, I’m willing to spend money to buy it. The price will definitely satisfy Master.”

Gu Qingyin shook her head with a smile, “Birth, old age, sickness, and death are natural laws. Even a Taoist Master can’t escape them.”

“Is that so?” Lin Jiaqin twitched the corners of her lips, “If Master doesn’t want to, then forget it.”

This person clearly doesn’t listen to others, so Gu Qingyin simply ignored her, believing what she wanted.
