"Master, what should we do now?" the woman asked Mo Lin anxiously.
"Find the ghost that's causing trouble, give them so money, and it'll be settled."
Mo Lin asked the woman, "Is there a small shrine nearby?"
"To the east, on the mountain, there's a small shrine," the woman replied to Mo Lin.
"Alright, I've got it."
Mo Lin then left the Ye Family.
He headed east, following the woman's directions.
Mo Lin searched for places thick with Ghost Qi as he followed the directions.
After passing two small paths, he climbed the mountain along a rugged trail.
At the midway point of the mountain, at the easternmost spot.
There was a gully, and at the innermost part of the gully, there was a dilapidated small shrine.
About twenty square ters in size, at the top of the shrine was a statue about twenty centiters tall.
The statue's head was missing; only the lower half remained.
There were traces of burnt paper on the ground.
The incense had clearly been offered recently.
This was neither a legitimate deity nor wandering ghosts.
They were called Ghost Gods.
A bit stronger than ordinary ghosts.
Mo Lin arrived in front of the shrine and lit a few sticks of incense.
"I am Mo Lin, I humbly ask the elder not to trouble Ye Ningning."
"This is my respect for you, elder."
As he spoke, Mo Lin took out ten thousand Netherworld Currency and placed it on the ground.
Suddenly, a burst of cold wind blew.
The Netherworld Currency that Mo Lin had taken out was instantly scattered.
The other party had not accepted the Netherworld Currency offered by Mo Lin.
So Mo Lin took out twenty thousand Netherworld Currency again.
"Please accept my gift, elder."
"Ye Ningning destroyed my Golden Body, ruined my cultivation, and you think twenty thousand Netherworld Currency will suffice?"
A reprimanding voice echoed.
The voice was so powerful it hurt Mo Lin's ears.
This was the power of a Ghost God.
"Elder, please calm down. As long as you stay your hand and spare Ye Ningning, I will forge a new Golden Body for you and rebuild the shrine."
"I will create a pure gold statue for you."
A piece of yellow paper floated down in front of him.
"Follow this diagram and craft the Golden Body for ."
Mo Lin silently took the blueprint, nodded, and replied, "Alright."
After completing these tasks, Mo Lin returned to the Ye Family.
When Mo Lin got back to the Ye Family, Ye Ningning had already gotten out of bed.
She seed as if nothing had happened and was walking normally.
"You shouldn't wander around; you don't know what kind of ghosts you've offended. If the master hadn't co over, you might have died," the middle-aged woman said to Ye Ningning worriedly.
"Mom... There's no such thing as ghosts, what are you afraid of?" Ye Ningning barked at the middle-aged woman.
Clearly, she didn't believe in the existence of ghosts.
"Mom, you should believe in science. There are no ghosts in this world." Ye Ningning insisted that there are no ghosts.
She even bet with a few friends that ghosts don't exist, and for that, she even smashed a statue of a little ghost.
When Mo Lin returned to the Ye Family, he saw Ye Ningning jumping around lively in the yard.
Completely different from before.
It seed she had indeed offended that Ghost God previously.
Seeing Mo Lin return, the middle-aged woman hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, master, for saving my daughter. Here is your paynt."
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman took a stack of money and handed it to Mo Lin.
Ye Ningning, standing nearby, saw her mother giving money to Mo Lin and imdiately beca upset.
She rushed over and snatched the money away.
"You fraud, coming to my house to scam money?" Ye Ningning shouted at Mo Lin.
Those words utterly baffled Mo Lin.
Scam money?
What money?
"Ning'Er, how can you talk to the master like that?" the woman reprimanded Ye Ningning.
"Mom, don't bother, this guy is just a charlatan, a scamr."
Ye Ningning shouted at Mo Lin, "My mom believes in ghosts, I don't. Your tricks might deceive my mom but not ."
What day and age is this?
Are there still people who don't believe in ghosts?
Mo Lin was left speechless by Ye Ningning's celestial remarks.
"Did you know you offended a Ghost God?" Mo Lin asked Ye Ningning.
"I don't believe it, there's no ghost in this world." Ye Ningning was resolute, completely unbelieving in what Mo Lin said.
"You were lying on the bed just now, feeling very cold. Don't you think it's because you offended the Ghost God?"
"I just had a mild fever, I took dicine and I'm better now." Ye Ningning replied to Mo Lin again.
Mo Lin was very puzzled.
Ghosts have been in the human realm for seven years; how can soone believe there are no ghosts?
The middle-aged woman explained to Mo Lin, "Master, my daughter has a special constitution; she cannot see ghosts, which is why she always believes there are no ghosts."
"No matter how much I explain to her, she doesn't believe it. I'm even afraid to let her leave Qingzhou lest she offend the ghosts."
The woman's statents sowhat helped Mo Lin understand why Ye Ningning didn't believe in ghosts.
She can't see ghosts; no wonder she thinks they don't exist.
"Stay ho for the next seven days and don't wander around."
Mo Lin was only responsible for protecting her for seven days.
As for after seven days, that was no longer Mo Lin's concern.
Whether Ye Ningning listened to Mo Lin's words, no one knew.
The woman arranged a place for Mo Lin to stay.
Mo Lin slept through the night.
The next day.
Mo Lin found a gold shop, bought ten kilograms of gold, and crafted a pure gold Golden Body.
Then delivered it to the small shrine for the Ghost God.
He also arranged for the shrine to be rebuilt.
After completing these tasks, Mo Lin returned to the Ye Family.
Before reaching the Ye Family, he saw Ye Ningning's mother anxiously pacing the street, looking around as if searching for soone.
"What's the matter?"
"Master, disaster struck; my daughter has gone missing."
The woman was so anxious she was nearly crying, "I locked the door, but I don't know how she climbed over the wall and ran out."
"That child is so troubleso."
If Ye Ningning rely went out to play, it wouldn't be an issue. The fear was that she'd do sothing to provoke ghosts.
That would indeed be troubleso.
Mo Lin joined the woman in the search for Ye Ningning.
After walking about two kiloters, they found Ye Ningning in a cetery.
Not only was Ye Ningning there, but several of her friends too.
There were five of them in total.
"What are you doing here?" Mo Lin asked Ye Ningning.
Ye Ningning outright ignored Mo Lin and turned her body away.
"Leave quickly; when it gets dark, ghosts will appear here," Mo Lin warned Ye Ningning.
"Ghost? Again with ghosts."
Ye Ningning said with exasperation, "I really don't understand why you people always use ghosts to deceive others."
"Are you soone my mom hired to stop from going out by scaring with ghost tales?"
Perhaps Ye Ningning's rebellious streak was acting up.
She felt that her family wouldn't let her go out and thus concocted lies about ghosts.
"I don't believe in ghosts either."
"It has to be a hoax."
Ye Ningning's friends, like her, believed there were no ghosts.
"We ca here to prove there are no ghosts in this world."
Ye Ningning spoke confidently.
"You won't give up until you see a ghost, will you?" Mo Lin asked Ye Ningning.
"There's no ghost in this world."
"Alright, today I'll let you see a ghost," Mo Lin decided to use special ans to let Ye Ningning see a ghost.
Otherwise, she wouldn't rest.
