Chapter 600: You Won’t Understand Even If I Told You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Why was Xie Qiao so polite and respectful to Elder Li? It was because this old man knew etiquette very well.
He never doubted her abilities and obeyed her requests without causing any trouble.
That way, she could get twice the result with half the effort.
“What about me?” Zhao Xuanjing leaned over. “Am I useful?”
“Yes, your usefulness is almost the same as Li Qingyu’s.” Xie Qiao immediately nodded.
Zhao Xuanjing frowned. He did not like the word “almost”.
He was much better than this kid from the Li family.
“Even better.” Xie Qiao thought for a while and gave a serious evaluation. She then dragged him over and said softly, “Your Highness, you can summon ghouls, but ghouls can only smell you when they’re by your side. They can’t hurt you. So if you go, the ghouls in that place won’t hide themselves.
“However, nothing is certain. If you faint, the vengeful spirits might be able to take advantage of you. Also, you have to be more careful of things like snakes, insects, rats, and ants,” Xie Qiao added.
Judging by Zhao Xuzhi’s situation, the vengeful spirits could even affect the things underground.
Ghouls could not touch the Crown Prince, but the snakes, insects, rats, and ants could, right?
He still had to be careful.
“Haven’t we prepared a lot of medicine these few days? It should be fine. I’ll go with you so that I can be relieved,” the Crown Prince said again.
Xie Qiao nodded. “Those ghouls that follow you… You can bring them with you when the time comes. In case I can’t beat them alone, I can use the talisman to control the other ghouls that don’t have an evil energy. Of course, I won’t use them for nothing. I can burn some things for them for free.”
Elder Li had to pay her more.
She had really put in a lot of effort for his family’s ancestral grave.
The ancestral grave could not be moved directly. The evil energy had already existed for 20 years. If they did not deal with the temple properly, they could move the grave directly. It would just be treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
The two of them had discussed it in private. Elder Li also knew that the Crown Prince was going.
All the more reason to let Li Qingyu follow them.
The Crown Prince was the Emperor, and he did not exploit his status here. How could he let the Crown Prince take the lead for him?
Furthermore, Elder Li… was quite nervous.
If anything happened to the Crown Prince, with the Emperor’s love and protection for the Crown Prince, his entire Li family would probably have to pay with their lives.
Elder Li had been very nervous. He could not stop sweating, it was dripping.
These men were all pretty tough.
They were also worried about the Crown Prince, so all of them followed him.
In the evening, they arrived outside the temple.
Xie Qiao was like a little girl picking mushrooms. She carried a small bamboo basket on her back and held an umbrella in one hand. Then, she surrounded the temple and dug holes to bury the dharma instruments.
She did not look like she was to get rid of evil spirits.
Behind her stood one, two, three, four… The eight men were all dumbfounded and did not know what to do.
Li Qingyu secretly looked at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince was still calm enough. Everyone was equally embarra.s.sed, but only the Crown Prince and the fearless and thick-skinned Xie Pinggang could be so calm.
Unlike them, they felt both afraid and embarra.s.sed.
To let a woman like Master Mo work so hard for so long, while they… could not even understand what she was doing!
Li Qingyu was too scared. At that moment, he cautiously asked Xie Qiao, “Master, what are you doing? Can you tell me? I’ll feel more at ease if you do.”
“You won’t understand even if I told you, right? You might be even more scared.” Xie Qiao deliberately teased him.
Li Qingyu felt his teeth turn cold.
