Chapter 205 An Arrogant Person
After they got on land, Old Guo immediately announced that the Black Mountain Dam as free of any spirit, and the undead fish would die off soon since the source of Evil Qi was gone . After a few months, the fresh water from the river would clear the Spirit and Undead Qi . After that, the dam could be used to raise fish again . All of it was made possible because Ye Shaoyang was there .
Even without the reiteration from Old Guo, everyone knew and was already deeply impressed by Ye Shaoyang . The villagers, in particular, had taken it as a miracle .
The drum team played their drums as they walked back in celebration . As they walked back to the place they stayed in, crowds of people came to thank him and congratulate him . Students and other people who lived far away came to witness Ye Shaoyang, the Heavenly Master .
Ye Shaoyang felt very awkward as he was crowded by men and women, old and young . He was so shy that he wanted to put a paper bag over his head . When they finally got to the place where they stayed, people tried to follow them through the gates . It was a good thing that Wu Mei was able to shut the gate, and Ye Shaoyang finally was able to relax .
That night, Wu Mei prepared the best traditional food, and Li Laoxing brought the best spirit he had . After a few days of work, they had finally settled the river spirit, and they were very happy . Including Ye Shaoyang, they all celebrated with all their heart .
Even Teng Yongqing was pressured into drinking a few cups of alcohol, and since he had never drank before, he quickly became drunk and slept on the sofa .
After they finished, Li Laoxing insisted that they stay for the night . However, they had to go to Sichuan the next day, so Ye Shaoyang thought it would be best that they pack . As such, Ye Shaoyang and Old Guo had to carry Teng Yongqing to Zhou Jingru’s car . After that, Old Guo drove back by himself . Ye Shaoyang went with Zhou Jingru .
“Big Brother Shaoyang, I called Xiaohui just now,” Zhou Jingru explained as she drove . “She and Yu Ting went to Madam Chee’s temple this afternoon, but they didn’t encounter anything . They didn’t even find the body of Xiaohui’s cousin . Now that they are back at the hotel, they want to know when you want to leave tomorrow . ”
Ye Shaoyang thought for a while and said, “As long as it’s tomorrow it doesn’t matter . ”
Zhou Jingru then said, “How about a direct flight to Sichuan tomorrow?”
After he said yes, Zhou Jingru said that she would book it for him when she got back home .
“Big Brother Shaoyang, I believe you will be fine,” Zhou Jingru looked at the road ahead and said in a soft voice . “I hope you’ll let me know when you require help . We are still pretty close anyway . ”
Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Of course, I’ve never thought of you as an outsider . ”
Zhou Jingru was glad, so she smiled at him joyfully .
After they arrived in the city, they drove to the hotel . Zhou Jingru got two security officers to carry the drunk Teng Yongqing into the hotel . Ye Shaoyang felt a bit bad for getting him drunk; after all, he was someone that had never drank .
After Teng Yongqing was settled, Zhou Jingru drove Ye Shaoyang back to his place . They said their goodbyes and parted .
Ye Shaoyang went up alone . Through the crack of the door, he saw a light . Immediately, he thought that Xiao Ma must have still been awake . He was too lazy to take out his keys, so he knocked on the door instead .
“Little Ye, you’re back,” Xiao Ma opened the door and let him in . He then pointed his finger and said, “There’s someone here asking for you . ”
Ye Shaoyang turned and saw a middle-aged man in a black suit sitting comfortably on the sofa . When the man saw Ye Shaoyang he smiled, “Nice to meet you, Mr . Ye . ”
His arrogant appearance annoyed Ye Shaoyang slightly . Ye Shaoyang did not waste his efforts and just asked, “What do you want?”
“Oh, I heard that you’re a very talented Daoist, Mr . Ye . ”
“Who told you that?”
The middle-aged man looked around the room and said, “Well, I just heard it from somewhere . To be honest, after seeing where you live, I was a bit concerned if I had come to the right place . ”
“You’ve come to the wrong place, please go,” Ye Shaoyang didn’t even look at him, “Go now, I’m very busy . ”
Ye Shaoyang’s att.i.tude shocked the middle-aged man quite a bit, so the man laughed and said,
“Well since I’m here, I might as well explain the thing and complete my task . My boss has recently encountered some strange events, supernatural encounters to be exact . We tried to find spirit hunters in Stone City, but none succeeded . One was almost killed . After hearing your name, which has been going wild around Stone City, I came here . I do hope you’re the correct person . ”
The rest were just polite words, but the man’s expression was not at all polite . That’s why before he finished, Ye Shaoyang waved his hand and said, “You got the wrong person . I’m not interested, please leave . ”
The man wasn’t angry, he got up and walked toward the door, without even turning his head he said, “Mr . Ye, if you’re interested in taking up the case, give me a call . My card is on the table . The reward is a hundred thousand; however, I must warn you . If you’re weak, then don’t take up the case . You might lose your life . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, “Tell your female boss that if she wants me to treat her insomnia, the price is three hundred thousand . ”
“What a scam!” the man humphed and walked out . Ye Shaoyang counted to three, and then, the man turned around . He sighed and thought, This man is slow .
The man looked at Ye Shaoyang terrified, “How did you know my boss was a woman, and how do you know that she is suffering from insomnia?”
Ye Shaoyang said, “Your boss doesn’t sleep because she’s scared of sleeping . She’s afraid of nightmares . ”
The man was shocked, “Who told you that?”
Ye Shaoyang walked past the man, gave his shoulder three taps, and grabbed something from his shoulder . He opened his hand and revealed something shiny on his palm .
“This…”
“It’s a Spirit Nail . You were grabbed by a spirit recently, and one of your mortal lamps have been snuffed out . Your body is weak . Your luck is bad . Have you been very unlucky recently?”
The man slapped his own leg and said, “Yes! No matter what I do, I always have problems . Even when I play Mahjong, I always lose . You… Mr . Ye, you really are incredible . ” The man’s att.i.tude changed drastically, “Mr . Ye, could you tell me how the nail got on my shoulder?”
Ye Shaoyang waved his hand and said, “I’m in no mood to tell you . If your boss wants my help, then ask her to personally bring three hundred thousand over . If not, no deal . ”
