Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The bell at Fortune Pavilion rang non-stop.
Shopkeeper Chang almost wanted to cover his ears. His old face was flushed red, unknowingly from excitement or fear as he stared at the door.
Xie Qiao stood there, a little confused. “Even if one becomes a ghoul, there should be no cla.s.s distinction. How can… a ghoul still be willing to be a servant?”
That did not make sense?
“Our Baili family has a good reputation. Every year, there are quite a few people who offer sacrifices to us. It’s just some wine and food, so we give them some. In addition, these ghouls were illiterate when they were alive. Regardless of gender, our Baili family is full of talent, so we teach them a thing or
two.” Baili Ji said matter-of-factly.
The corner of Xie Qiao’s mouth twitched twice.
One did not have to worry no matter where they went if they were skilled?
“Please come in. It’s just that there are too many of them. When you have nothing to do, you can just stay in the bottle where I collect the souls and take turns coming out to get some fresh air.” Xie Qiao felt a little uneasy.
There were so many souls. If she were to send all of them down to reincarnate.
How much good karma could she gather?!
Xie Qiao’s eyes were almost burning with a small flame. She wanted nothing more than to send all of them away immediately!
However, she knew the rules. Baili Ji only asked her to help find a couple of ghouls. It was not fair for so many people to go down for such a small matter. Therefore, after the ghouls were found, she still had to try her best to fulfill these people’s wishes so that they would be more willing to leave. Only
then could she live with her conscience.
Xie Qiao could not wait any longer.
She had a room on the second floor. There were a few rows of shelves that looked like bookshelves. There were also a few small compartments in the room, and there were a few bottles that were used to collect souls.
Every time she collected a soul, she had to put a name on the outside of the bottle to prevent confusion.
At this moment, she let them find an empty bottle to stay in.
She did not put a talisman on it and perform the ritual, so these ghouls could come and go freely without worrying about being imprisoned.
After arranging that, Xie Qiao immediately went to the Royal Academy to look for Zhao Xuanjing.
At this moment, the sky was already a little dark. She had originally planned to return home tonight, but it was more important to acc.u.mulate good karma now.
Her teacher, Li s.h.i.+yan, also had a big house in the capital, but because all his disciples except Xie Qiao were now in the Royal Academy, the old man also stayed in the academy. There were also many good friends in the academy who could chat all night long.
When Xie Qiao found Zhao Xuanjing, he was supposed to be listening to his teacher’s lecture.
He went to the East Courtyard only after he learned that she was here.
He was in a hurry and walked briskly.
“Don’t say that I don’t think of you when I have good news.” Xie Qiao saw him and her eyes were burning with desire. “I have a job today. I need to find a brush.”
If Zhao Xuanjing helped to find the brush, there would be good karma, and he would naturally have a share of the good karma.
In addition, if she needed help in the future, she had to ask him more. After all, this was her person, and she hoped that he would become better and better.
“What brush does Senior Sister have to work so hard for?” It was already so late, yet she still rushed over.
It must be extremely important.
“A brush called Shocking the Snow. It was left behind by the previous dynasty. Have you heard of it? It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. Tomorrow, you can go to the palace to see if this brush is in the vault or if it has been given away…” Xie Qiao’s tone became a little faster.
Seeing her anxious look, Zhao Xuanjing knew that this matter was very important.
“Tseem to have heard of it, but it was many years ago. I’ll have the Internal Affairs Department check its whereabouts tomorrow. Don’t be anxious,” Zhao Xuanjing said immediately..
