Lin Jings.h.i.+ nodded. “Dad, it’s true. When that dog pounced, I was scared out of my wits, but I clearly saw that light from Xingxing’s pendant seemed to have fended off that dog.”


Lin Chongchang let out a long sigh. “Xingxing is truly blessed; he was fortunate to have met a Master like that.”


“Yeah, and it’s been a long time since Xingxing has had raw chicken and duck,” Lin Jings.h.i.+ was also enthused. Xingxing’s eyes looked very scary whenever he ate raw chickens and ducks. She was suddenly reminded of something and frowned worriedly. “Dad, I specifically examined the jade pendant around Xingxing’s neck, and its l.u.s.ter seemed to have dimmed a lot this time. Could it be that after suppressing evil creatures a few times, it might no longer work?”


Lin Chongchang shook his head regretfully. “There’s indeed that concern. If only we knew that Master. But Perfected Zhang of Longhu Mountain will be coming to take a look.”


“Perfected Zhang of Longhu Mountain? That Master is a distinguished guest for many great families in the capital. Dad, how did you manage to invite him? What an honor this is! Then, Xingxing’s problem will definitely be solved.” Lin Jings.h.i.+ instantly beamed and threw that Master at the back of her mind. She didn’t think that a n.o.body, a Warlock, who showed her tail but hid her head, was better than Perfected Zhang.


Lin Chongchang thought so too.


Soon, Perfected Zhang and his disciple came to the door, and Lin Chongchang’s family entertained them with boundless hospitality and courtesy.


Perfected Zhang also took the time to study the feng shui for Lin Chongchang’s family, and there was nothing that required major changes.


But when he saw a blue and white porcelain bottle in Lin Haoxing’s room, his face changed drastically. “How many days has this bottle been kept?”


“It’s been six days. Perfected Zhang, this… is there something wrong with this porcelain bottle?” Lin Chongchang inquired apprehensively.


“Elder Lin, you’re addled. This porcelain bottle is obviously an ominous object. Something seems to be in there. Let alone in a kid’s room, I’m afraid anyone won’t last three days even in an adult’s room.” Perfected Zhang shook his head helplessly.


Lin Chongchang was terrified that he shouted, “Who the h.e.l.l put this in here? Take it out now, take it out!”


Lin Jings.h.i.+ also turned white and was seized with panic.


Lin Chongchang was suddenly reminded of something and he turned to look at Lin Jings.h.i.+ icily. Seeing Lin Jings.h.i.+’s expression, he instantly understood everything.


“Dad, how could it be? It can’t be! Fan Ming wouldn’t do such a thing. Xingxing is his own son.”


“Shut up and stop embarra.s.sing yourself in front of Master!” Lin Chongchang shouted furiously. He calmed down and said with dignified reverence, “Master, you’d better take a look at my grandson Haoxing first.”


Perfected Zhang looked at Lin Chongchang with sympathy. Five days had pa.s.sed, so Lin Chongchang’s grandson must have been fraught with grim possibilities. He hadn’t heard Lin Chongchang speaking of his grandson’s state yet, but there was a 90% probability that he had been possessed by a ghost. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so dead calm.


However, by the time Perfected Zhang saw Lin Haoxing, who was alive and kicking, his eyes widened in surprise and he took a closer look.


“Master, the compa.s.s hasn’t moved. There seems to be no problem.” Perfected Zhang’s apprentice whispered in his ear.


After sweeping Lin Haoxing a few times, Perfected Zhang finally spotted the jade pendant around his neck and his spirit was invigorated. “Little child, can I take a look at your jade pendant?”


“Humph, I won’t give it.” Lin Haoxing, who was building blocks, turned around guardedly and tugged at his jade pendant.


Lin Chongchang and Lin Jings.h.i.+ were filled with tension and worry. Having placed that sort of ominous porcelain bottle in the house, it should have been less damaging to the body from the way Perfected Zhang looked. Both of them waited nervously for him to speak, but they didn’t expect him to ask about the jade pendant.


“Xingxing, dear, let Perfected Zhang take a look. He is really an expert, more powerful than your sister. He won’t take anything from you.”


Lin Haoxing gave a suspicious glance at the man in a Daoist robe. “Are you really more powerful than Sister? Can you hunt ghosts too?”


“Yes, Xingxing, show Master quickly.”


Lin Haoxing curled his lips and huffed, “I may be a child, but you adults shouldn’t always lie. Sister is better than anyone else,” Lin Haoxing grumbled before reluctantly taking off the jade pendant around his neck.


Lin Jings.h.i.+ was a little helpless. “Don’t be ridiculous. How could Perfected Zhang not compare to your sister in catching ghosts?”


Perfected Zhang’s young apprentice on the side obviously wasn’t convinced either and couldn’t help but argue, “Little child, many families in the capital fall over each other to invite my Master and he is also much more powerful than many little known Warlocks! Why would he rob your stuff?”


“Then, I’ll trust you for now. Remember to give it back to me. The noses of those who lie will grow longer.”


Lin Chongchang and Lin Jingsi were both embarra.s.sed.


“Perfected Zhang, Xingxing merely trusts that Master because she saved him. This child doesn’t understand anything.” Lin Jings.h.i.+ rounded off the conversation. She, herself, didn’t think that Perfected Zhang was inferior to that master.


Perfected Zhang smiled and didn’t speak. He took the jade pendant and after taking a closer look, he saw that the jade pendant wasn’t worth much, but was abundant in spirit qi. What was striking were the arrays on it.


“This magic weapon is extraordinary. It’s just that engraving these magic arrays on this jade pendant is somewhat…” Perfected Zhang sighed. Such incomparably exquisite magic arrays engraved on such a flawed jade pendant were like a masterpiece painting on an oil-stained paper, a lone copy of a priceless book matted on the table, or even more so a precious antique porcelain used as a flower vase – a reckless waste of G.o.d’s good gift!


“What’s wrong with the magic arrays engraved on it, Perfected Zhang?” Lin Chongchang was quite glad to hear the first half, but the latter part that Perfected Zhang was about to say made him a bit nervous, thinking that he was going to mention the downsides.


“It’s nothing. This Penniless Priest just felt too bad for the magic arrays on it. A master of considerable skill and magical power must have engraved them, so it was somewhat ill-suited to have chosen this defective jade pendant.” Perfected Zhang smiled helplessly.


Lin Chongchang stared in amazement. Even Perfected Zhang said it was extremely good, so it must’ve been really good. He hurriedly asked, “Are the magic arrays on it powerful?”


Perfected Zhang nodded, making him want to get to know that Master even more. “It’s more than just good. There’s only a handful of people in the entire country of China, who can engrave such arrays.”


Lin Jings.h.i.+ was also horrified. She had thought that the Master was only showing her tail but hiding her head and ought to be just doing average. She really didn’t care looking for her. Fortunately, she hadn’t run into her so early. If she had slighted her one bit, she would have offended that Master.
