Granny Tong was sowhat angry; it was bad enough that this person showed up unannounced, but the things he said were not pleasant either, boldly claiming that her own little niece had lost her soul— who wouldn’t be annoyed by that?
This little niece, due to a high fever in her childhood that left her ntally impaired, was a bit slow to respond and simple-minded, but she was an exceptionally well-behaved and kind person, dearly cherished by the entire family.
Yesterday, when their family went out to the manor for a leisure trip, her younger sister’s carriage horses suddenly took fright, nearly bolting, scaring everyone out of their wits. Fortunately, Mr. Wenyuan of Changchuan Marquis Mansion happened by and had his guards help control the horses, resulting in a close call with no harm done.
However, her sister was so frightened that she beca even more simple-minded. Upon returning to the mansion, they summoned the Imperial Physician to take her pulse, and after taking so calming soup, she went to sleep. Occasionally waking up, she seed more impaired, staring blankly without speaking before falling back into a deep sleep. However, everyone thought she was rely startled.
But this Junior Temple Master says her niece lost her soul?
Ridiculous.
Granny Tong gave Qin Liuxi an unfriendly glare and directed a bit of bla towards Lin Qingying.
Was Granny Zhong here to provoke hostility?
Lin Qingying was feeling so embarrassed she almost couldn’t face it, and looking towards Qin Liuxi, she thought, Ancestor, let’s be a bit more tactful, I’m losing face here.
Granny Tong said, "I do not know in what way the Tong Family has offended you two. If so, I will apologize. But now, my mother-in-law is distressed that my sister has not yet recovered from her fright, please do not trouble her further."
As soon as the words "recover her soul" ca out, she felt sothing wasn’t right— why had she blurted out those words?
Lin Qingying smiled and stepped forward, holding onto her, saying, "Dear sister, you’re too kind, how could there be any offense, it’s just..."
How to explain?
Qin Liuxi then asked, "Startled? Could it be the incident from yesterday?"
Yiqiu ntioned she could only escape because Xu Gong captured a soul with deep rit. Such a coincidence, could it be from yesterday?
Granny Tong was stunned for a mont, becoming sowhat guarded, and remained silent.
Seeing them arrive, a maid lifted the curtain, and they all went in together.
Mrs. Tong sat upright in the Taishi Chair, covering her chest slightly with her hand, her complexion a bit uneasy.
Her daughter had been frightened again yesterday, acting even more simple-minded, mostly sleeping the day away. Her heart was troubled, wanting to invite more doctors to the mansion to prescribe new dicine. Unexpectedly Lin Qingying had co calling.
It was odd for the married daughter of the Pri Minister Mansion to show up suddenly, bringing a Taoist with her. Her daughter-in-law hinted that they were here for the younger daughter?
Bringing a Taoist to visit made Mrs. Tong a bit angry. Who brings a Taoist when visiting soone’s ho? They say Lin Xiang’s main wife is clever and tactful, yet there seems to be a foolish side as well.
Mrs. Tong was internally complaining, but just now, she had palpitations, feeling very uncomfortable and sowhat agitated.
"Mother, Granny Zhong is here." Granny Tong stepped forward and reported to Mrs. Tong, "This is Master Buqiu from Li City Qingping Temple."
Mrs. Tong held her expression steady, her deanor cool, and asked, "I do not know why you have co today?"
Lin Qingying tried to put on a smiling face, wanting to say sothing polite, but it was like her throat was choked, and she could not utter a word.
Dear heavens, she’d never been at such a loss for words as she was today.
Qin Liuxi was just staring at the rit girl, Tong Miao’er, who kept throwing herself at Mrs. Tong, passing right through her. Realizing she couldn’t embrace her mother, she looked very aggrieved and pouted, turning to look pitifully at Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi sighed, "Silly girl, you’ve separated from your soul body; you can’t hold onto the physical one."
Everyone: "?"
They saw Qin Liuxi staring at Mrs. Tong and saying this. No, probably not talking to her, because the direction was a bit off.
Even so, it sent chills down their spines.
Mrs. Tong looked extrely displeased: Where did this charlatan who plays God co from?
"This little Taoist, whom are you talking to?" Mrs. Tong asked with a dark expression.
Qin Liuxi: "It’s your family’s young lady. Her two souls and six spirits have left the body and I happened to encounter them. I’ve brought them back, and now she is right before you."
Mrs. Tong trembled with anger, just as she was about to speak, a stern shout ca from the door.
"Where did this deceiving God Stick co from? Drag him out!"
Soone pushed aside the curtain and walked in.
"Master."
Mrs. Tong stood up, inwardly lanting. Master has the least patience for such matters, and yet he had to run into this.
Lin Qingying’s scalp went numb, it seed that the situation was getting worse.
Dressed in a scholar’s robe, Tong Jijiu had not gone out today since the palace examination results were to be announced, and he stayed ho waiting because, after the parade, students would co to thank him.
However, he hadn’t anticipated that instead of newly appointed scholars, a Taoist would arrive first.
The Son does not speak of strange forces and gods, and now a Taoist has co to his door right when the students should be arriving to give thanks. If people were to find out, wouldn’t it embarrass him to death?
Tong Jijiu glared at Lin Qingying discontentedly. How could the young lady from Lin Xiang’s family be so thoughtless?
Lin Qingying could barely maintain the smile at her lips, her legs trembling as she turned her pleading eyes to Qin Liuxi. Ancestor, if you do not resolve this, I will have to apologize with death!
Tong Jijiu looked over Qin Liuxi. He looked fine, so why resort to this pretentious deceiving work?
"What are you all standing around dumbfounded for? Drag him out!" Tong Jijiu coldly ordered the servants within the house.
Qin Liuxi looked at him and said, "You are driving away? I intended to do a great kindness, a good deed on account of your daughter. But now that you disregard , once I leave this door, I will be beyond your reach."
Only a sufficient bribe could change my mind.
Tong Jijiu: "!"
No wonder he’s deceiving, turns out he’s a fool, too.
"Co here."
Qin Liuxi shook his head with a click of his tongue: "Scholars are so stubborn. But let broaden your horizons so you’ll know regret when you see it."
She turned around, took out an Eye-opening Talisman from her sleeve, chanted the Eye-opening Spell, and with a flick, the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire.
Before the crowd could react, they felt a sting and coolness in their eyes, instinctively shut them, then opened them again.
"Ah, Miao’er." The mont Mrs. Tong opened her eyes, she saw her daughter standing in front of her, and couldn’t help but let out a shriek.
Everyone else scread as well.
Lin Qingying’s legs went weak and she retreated with a pale face, leaning on a nearby kang table.
Tong Jijiu’s mind went blank, and he was completely taken aback. What kind of evil magic was this?
His daughter was just fine in her courtyard, how could she suddenly appear here? It must have been that God Stick casting an Eye-Blocking Technique.
It had to be!
But the daughter that materialized through the Eye-Blocking Technique ran towards him, looked up with a grin, and softly called out to him, "Daddy!"
Tong Jijiu: "Quick, support ."
He felt faint.
Thump.
"Master."
"Father."
Mrs. Tong, however, was exclaiming, "Quick, bring the master back!"
Oh, what a sin, what is this all about!
