Chapter 665: Inviting a Monk
“Aunt, Aunt, are you there?”
Chen Meilin vaguely heard Jiang Xue’s voice. She didn’t want to disturb Shuyi, so she walked out and saw a middle-aged man in monk robes next to Jiang Xue.
Chen Meilin asked in surprise, “Who is this?”
Jiang Xue was excited. “Aunt, this is an especially famous accomplished monk. It’s no problem for him to expel ghosts and subdue demons. Aunt, let this senior monk take a look at Sister Shuyi. With him around, Sister Shuyi will definitely be fine!”
Afraid that Chen Meilin wouldn’t believe her, Jiang Xue a.s.sured her, “Aunt, he’s really capable. It wasn’t easy for me to find him at Longguang Temple. I just saw this senior monk exorcise a ghost from someone. Senior Monk Huang pressed his hand to the forehead of the possessed person, who was instantly healed! He’s not inferior to that Master Shuyan at all, and may even be stronger. He doesn’t put on airs.”
At that moment, Monk Huang, who was next to Jiang Xue, said with a good att.i.tude, “This humble one is called Huang!”
When Chen Meilin heard the words Longguang Temple and saw how confident her niece was, she couldn’t help but feel excited and believe her. Of course, in her heart, her biggest hope still was that Master Chi would take action. However, Jiang Xue had offended Master Chi terribly back then, so Chen Meilin had no choice but to place her hopes on this senior monk in front of her.
Chen Meilin sized up the senior monk in front of her a few more times. Seeing that he was modest and looked like an expert, Chen Meilin also planned to give it a shot. She replied, “Then, I’ll have to trouble you, Monk Huang!”
Jiang Xue was happy to hear her aunt agree. “Aunt, you agree?”
After offending her aunt, Jiang Xue had tried everything she could to atone for her mistake for fear that her aunt would cut ties with her family. Her family still relied on her relations.h.i.+p with her aunt. She was also afraid that her aunt wouldn’t treat her as well as before, and she wouldn’t get the same sort of benefits as in the past.
She didn’t have the slightest favorable impression of Master Shuyan. She had only offended her a little, but who would have thought that the Celestial Master would be so vengeful? She repeatedly rejected her aunt, causing her aunt’s att.i.tude toward Jiang Xue to become colder and colder.
She wasn’t worthy of being called a Celestial Master.
At that moment, Father Meng came in. Because Father Meng didn’t believe in superst.i.tions at all, Jiang Xue and Chen Meilin were afraid that he would chase away the newly invited monk.
Unexpectedly, Father Meng didn’t say anything about inviting a specialist this time. He had just found out that one of the female students who had played that Pen Spirit game with his daughter had been gutted at the hospital last night and died a tragic death.
Father Meng was so scared when he heard the news that he didn’t say anything this time. Chen Meilin and Jiang Xue heaved sighs of relief.
Chen Meilin immediately brought Monk Huang to her daughter’s room and said, “Senior Monk, the one unconscious on the bed is my daughter!”
With that, Chen Meilin recounted how her daughter had played the Pen Spirit game with the other girls, then said, “Senior Monk, what evil thing did my daughter run into? Can you please have that thing leave? As long as you can chase it away, it doesn’t matter how much it costs.”
Jiang Xue chimed in, “Aunt, how can someone like Senior Monk look at gains? When Sister Shuyi wakes up, you just have to give a token of your goodwill. Senior Monk Huang, don’t you think so?”
The monk still gave off an eminent air. “Of course!”
Father Meng also looked nervously at the monk that had been invited over and said, “Senior Monk, what do we need to do?”
