Pang Kun nodded in agreement, having approached the matter with a trial-and-error mindset.
Seeing Pang Kun’s consent, Yu Daohen picked up the kettle heating on the stove and poured water into a teacup, then pushed it towards Pang Kun. “Then, Boss Pang, please.”
Pang Kun looked at the steaming purplish-black tea. Despite his inner reluctance, he still raised the teacup and took a small sip before drinking it all down.
Yu Daohen saw that Pang Kun could drink it without complaint and raised the kettle again to pour another cup. Pang Kun, though puzzled, still raised the teacup for a small sip and drank it all down as well.
Yu Daohen said calmly, “Since you can drink it, I’ll take the job.”
Pang Kun was delighted to hear Yu Daohen accept. He had heard that Master Yu from Old Street was incredibly skilled, and there was no problem he couldn’t solve if he agreed to act. His reputation was excellent.
“May I ask what Master Yu’s referral fee is?” Pang Kun inquired.
Yu Daohen didn’t answer immediately but began counting on his fingers. After a moment, he slowly said, “Two thousand eight hundred yuan.”
“Alright, I’ll transfer it to you now, Master,” Pang Kun said, taking out his phone and scanning the QR code.
Over two thousand yuan was not much for him, a hotel owner, and he could even charge a bit more.
Yu Daohen instructed, “Come to the shop tomorrow at two in the afternoon.”
“Certainly, Master Yu, I will be there on time,” Pang Kun nodded and got up to leave.
After Pang Kun drove away, Yu Daohen lay back in his rocking chair, contemplating who to ask for help this time. If it were just about catching malevolent spirits, that would be manageable. Qiangzi and Su Lai could handle it, and with himself, as long as it wasn’t a Nether Ghost, it shouldn’t be a problem.
“The deep night’s cold wind, do not let it blow her away, her….”
Suddenly, his phone rang. Yu Daohen was curious who would call him at this late hour. He took out his phone and saw it was Qiangzi.
He answered the call, and Qiangzi’s lewd voice came through the phone, “Hello, Master Yu, are you busy lately?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohen knew the kid must have something to ask of him, but coincidentally, he also needed Qiangzi’s help.
“Coincidentally, I also have something to ask for your help with,” Yu Daohen briefly explained Pang Kun’s situation.
Qiangzi on the other end replied, “Is that so? Coincidentally, Su Qing and I were planning to come to Jiangdu to find you. We are already at the Yangzhou Hotel. We’ll resolve your matter first, then attend to mine.”
Yu Daohen nodded, feeling a bit curious. “What mission has the Yan Shu Sect assigned you this time, kid?”
Qiangzi on the phone chuckled slyly and said mysteriously, “To pick up a super genius with even higher talent than you.”
“Talent even higher than mine?” Yu Daohen’s interest was piqued. He hadn’t met anyone with talent superior to his so far. As for those who could match him, there were very few among the younger generation in the martial world, countable on one hand.
“Could it be your senior brother?” Yu Daohen could only think of him.
Qiangzi on the phone denied it, “No.”
“Then is it Wang Ming?” Yu Daohen asked again.
Qiangzi on the phone still denied it, “Not him either?”
Yu Daohen thought carefully and said, “If it’s neither of them, then it must be Wang Fubao.”
Qiangzi on the phone also denied it, “None of them.”
“None of them?”
Yu Daohen grew increasingly curious. In the younger generation of the martial world, only those three could be considered his equals.
Qiangzi on the phone continued, “You haven’t met this person. You’ll know when the time comes. I’m hanging up now.”
Yu Daohen wanted to ask more, but Qiangzi had already hung up.
In the rocking chair, Yu Daohen closed his eyes, not feeling sleepy at all. He was still pondering who this super genius, whose talent was no less than his own, could be.
The next morning~
Yu Daohen groggily opened his eyes and saw that Yu Yijun, the little girl, was already awake and had changed into a new dress.
Noon~
After lunch, Yu Daohen tidied up his things and waited for Pang Kun to arrive at the shop. He had discussed with Qiangzi last night that they would take Pang Kun directly to the hotel where he had sent his location.
“Daddy, are you going out on business?” Yu Yijun asked in her childish voice.
Yu Daohen nodded. “That’s right, Daddy is going to a hotel next to Yangzhou Commercial Street to catch a malevolent spirit.”
Upon hearing the words “Commercial Street,” Yu Yijun’s eyes sparkled. Most commercial streets had a food street.
“Daddy, your cute daughter wants to go too,” Yu Yijun said, puffing out her cheeks in a cute gesture.
Yu Daohen shook his head and refused, “No, we don’t know the situation there yet. It’s too dangerous to take you.”
Yu Yijun shook her head and patted her chest, “I’ll wait for Daddy at the entrance, I won’t go in.”
Yu Daohen looked at Yu Yijun’s sparkling eyes and suddenly realized, “I think you want to visit the food street, don’t you?”
After her little scheme was mercilessly exposed by Yu Daohen, Yu Yijun giggled, “Considering how cute your daughter is, can you bear to refuse?”
“Alright, Daddy will take you,” Yu Daohen said, shaking his head helplessly. He couldn’t help it, having such a cute daughter.
