After the introductions, Li Fengxiang also inquired about the fee: "What is Master Zhou's fee?"
Zhou Fu thought for a moment and said, "One thousand yuan."
Yu Daochen next to him was dumbfounded. What was going on?
"One thousand yuan?"
Seeing Yu Daochen's strange expression, Zhou Fu shook his head and changed his tune: "Eight hundred yuan then."
Li Fengxiang, seeing Zhou Fu change his mind to eight hundred yuan, hesitated but agreed immediately. After all, who would refuse money? "Alright, I'll scan it to Master Zhou now."
Yu Daochen beside them was so angry he could barely speak.
He had reminded Zhou Fu to increase the price, but instead of increasing it, Zhou Fu had reduced it by two hundred yuan.
Li Fengxiang paid and led the two towards the car.
Seeing Yu Daochen's strange expression earlier, Zhou Fu quietly asked, "Sect Leader, did I charge too much?"
Yu Daochen sighed, patted Zhou Fu's shoulder, and said earnestly, "You could have added three times that amount."
Zhou Fu felt a little embarrassed. He had thought the Sect Leader meant he had charged too much.
The two followed Li Fengxiang into the car and drove towards their village.
"Sect Leader, can that female ghost be eliminated with an explosive charm? Sect Leader, how will you lure her out later? Sect Leader, what if..."
Before they even reached their destination, Zhou Fu was already extremely nervous, starting to ask how to deal with the female ghost.
Yu Daochen beside him was not in a hurry. He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes to sleep.
"No need to rush. We can talk about it when we get there," Yu Daochen said slowly.
Li Fengxiang's village was about an hour's drive from Jiangdu.
When they arrived, Zhou Fu nudged Yu Daochen: "Sect Leader, we're here."
Yu Daochen groggily opened his eyes and saw the car stop in front of an old-fashioned house. Lü Zhuo was already waiting at the entrance.
The two got out of the car with Li Fengxiang. Lü Zhuo seemed to have found hope, and the worry in his heart finally eased.
At home, Lü Zhuo's father, Lü Xue, sat on the sofa in the main hall, smoking silently. Lü Zhuo's matter had kept him extremely busy.
Li Fengxiang led Yu Daochen and Zhou Fu into the main hall: "Son's father, the two masters are here."
Upon hearing this, Lü Xue's face lit up, and he looked at Yu Daochen and Zhou Fu.
"Masters, please sit down quickly." Lü Xue stood up and greeted them.
Yu Daochen and Zhou Fu sat down. Lü Xue got straight to the point: "Masters, you must save my son. If my son hadn't been out yesterday, he would probably have met the King of Hell by now."
Yesterday, Lü Xue hadn't dared to close his eyes, fearing that Lü Zhuo would be taken away by the female ghost when he returned from the shop.
Lü Xue could feel that the female ghost would definitely come to claim Lü Zhuo's life tonight.
"Don't worry. Since we've taken this job, we will see it through to the end," Yu Daochen nodded and assured him.
Lü Xue's guess was correct. If he and Zhou Fu hadn't come, Lü Zhuo would have been killed by the female ghost tonight.
Yu Daochen looked at Zhou Fu beside him: "Get ready. We'll take care of that female ghost tonight."
Zhou Fu nodded. After dinner, everyone waited for midnight to arrive.
At half past eleven at night, Yu Daochen arranged for Lü Xue and Li Fengxiang to stay in the house and not come out no matter what they heard. Only Yu Daochen, Zhou Fu, and Lü Zhuo remained in the main hall.
Yu Daochen had Zhou Fu stand guard. Zhou Fu pulled over a stool and sat at the entrance of the main hall.
Yu Daochen sat on the sofa, resting his eyes. Lü Zhuo, beside him, trembled with fear.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Daochen suddenly opened his eyes and checked his phone. It was exactly midnight.
"Time's up," Yu Daochen said, looking at Zhou Fu at the entrance of the main hall.
Zhou Fu nodded, gripping the copper coin sword in his hand.
*Knock, knock, knock~*
Just as the three of them were nervously staring at the main door, a knock suddenly sounded.
"Lü Zhuo, it's Wang Jing. Open the door."
Outside the main door, the voice of Wang Jing, Liu Shuying's grandfather, could be heard.
Hearing the voice, Lü Zhuo got up and was about to leave the main hall to open the door.
Suddenly, Yu Daochen behind him grabbed Lü Zhuo, who was about to get up.
Lü Zhuo looked at Yu Daochen with confusion: "Master, that's Wang Jing, Liu Shuying's grandfather's voice."
Yu Daochen grinned: "Oh, really? Look at how high up he's knocking on the door."
As Yu Daochen spoke, Lü Zhuo looked at the source of the knocking. The knocking sound was coming from the door frame.
Lü Zhuo swallowed and instinctively became scared. Old Master Wang was only about 1.5 meters tall, but the knocking was at the door frame, which was over 2.5 meters high.
"That's not Old Master Wang outside."
Yu Daochen walked out of the main hall. Zhou Fu glanced at Yu Daochen beside him.
Yu Daochen nodded, signaling Zhou Fu not to act rashly.
The knocking grew louder, almost like battering the door: "It's me, Wang Jing, open the door quickly."
Slowly, the knocking sound subsided. Lü Zhuo let out a long sigh of relief, but when he looked at the surrounding wall, his face instantly froze, filled with terror.
"It's Liu Shuying. It's Liu Shuying. She's here!!"
