Chapter 262: Yin Marriage
Li Sangyu’s sudden outburst instantly made the family apologize fearfully.
Chi Shuyan didn’t intend to bother. Celestial Masters generally had their own tempers, and she didn’t have a good impression of this family in front of her. She also saw that this matter had nothing to do with the person who had issued the a.s.signment. She reckoned that the family didn’t trust her, so went off to find another Celestial Master.
In the end, it was the family’s fault. Since there wasn’t much money to be made, Chi Shuyan was prepared to withdraw.
“Wait, Fellow Daoist, hold on. Why don’t we take a look together? Then, we can split the money equally?” Li Sangyu suddenly said.
Was there such a good thing?
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and saw the woman in front of her smile brightly, but it appeared fake no matter how she looked at it!
However, she didn’t want to have come for nothing. Since she could make money, and she was short of money now, she would stay, no matter what the other party’s motive was.
The family and the person who issued the a.s.signment heaved sighs of relief when they saw that the storm had pa.s.sed. Seeing that the two Celestial Masters didn’t make things difficult for them, the family hurriedly asked, “Celestial Master, what’s wrong with my daughter? Is she possessed by a malicious ghost? Several Daoist priests have said that’s the case. What should I do about my daughter now?”
The family’s surname was Zhao and they had a good background. The woman lying in bed right now was their only daughter, so they couldn’t be blamed for being so anxious.
Li Sangyu still had some skills. She looked down at the woman who was sleeping on the bed with a pale face and suddenly asked Chi Shuyan, “What do you see?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it at first and explained her guess that it was a “yin marriage,” but after the woman in front of her probed her countless times, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Why did this woman want her here?
Was she deliberately trying to test her Celestial Master knowledge? Or was she trying to expose her as a swindler in front of this family?
If she hadn’t come all the way here and didn’t want to make a wasted trip, plus she was short of money recently, she would have left long ago.
Li Sangyu had indeed been testing her at first, but when she found out that the girl didn’t have a master and was a gra.s.sroots Celestial Master, she became very disdainful.
At first, she thought of holding this woman back to expose her as a swindler in front of this family, but she didn’t expect this woman to have some capability. Li Sangyu stopped probing after that, but treated Chi Shuyan like air.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t bothered by the fact that she was treated like she was transparent, as long as she got the money later.
The two waited until eight in the evening before the woman on the bed woke up. Seeing that their daughter was finally awake today, the Zhao couple next to her hurriedly said, “Daughter, Dad and Mom specially hired two Celestial Masters today. They’ll definitely be able to drive that malicious ghost away!”
Who would have thought that instead of being happy after hearing this, the Zhao family’s daughter pleaded, “Dad, Mom, Official Song and I are in love. Please, don’t break us up! I’m very happy now! Official Song is very good to me!”
Chi Shuyan thought that someone had inadvertently found out the Zhao family’s daughter’s birth characters, and deliberately arranged a yin marriage. Who would have thought that this daughter was willing? Chi Shuyan got gooseb.u.mps all over her body for no reason as she listened to her talk about her ‘happiness.’
A human and ghost in love sounded nice, but it actually wasn’t that nice.
The dead had the yin attribute. If a human and ghost got together, it would very likely affect the human’s lifespan. This was only secondary. The most important thing was that ghosts thirsted for yang energy, and human yang energy was as tempting to ghosts as drugs were to addicts. Even people who struggled to quit drugs later would sometimes still crave them in their hearts.
This yang energy was dangled in front of that ghost every day. Chi Shuyan didn’t believe that the ghost wasn’t moved. No matter how good their relations.h.i.+p was in the beginning, it couldn’t compare to the cruelty of reality!
