Chapter 502: Chapter 494 Master, God is so amazing!
Although Qin Liuxi pinpointed Mr. He’s plight in an instant, Ding Yongliang still reserved a third of his trust. After all, they had waited for several days, and Qin Liuxi did not show up. Now that she had appeared and directly hit the nail on the head, she seemed impressive, but who knew whether it was the secretly revealed information by some brat who was full of himself?
Mr. He, however, didn’t care at all and looked at Qin Liuxi with eyes as fervent as if he was beholding some beautiful damsel, eagerly asking, “Master, do you think I am possessed by something evil?”
“Are you telling me you have no idea?”
Mr. He choked up for a moment, then asked, “Can you see what it is? Are you able to exorcise it?”
“I cannot.”
A chill ran down Mr. He’s spine, and his plump, round face fell in dismay. My life is over!
“This is a Taoist shop, and common ghosts dare not enter, so naturally, I can’t see what’s bothering you. However, your body is shrouded with yin energy, and you carry an evil aura. Have you been anywhere recently, or have you taken something you shouldn’t have?” Qin Liuxi looked at the evil aura swirling around him, somewhat speculating.
“I didn’t go anywhere special during the New Year, just to the fireworks…” Mr. He felt his cheeks heat up under Qin Liuxi’s clear and brilliant eyes, gave a cough to clear his throat, and explained, “I just went out drinking, didn’t do anything else.”
It’s really like seeing a ghost, feeling a full sense of shame just talking about such places in front of this person!
Just because she’s a Taoist master?
“What about items? Let me put it this way, anything you’ve acquired recently, no matter what it is, even if it’s as small as a fingernail.”
Mr. He: “Nothing… Oh.”
He suddenly paused, remembered something from before the New Year, and cautiously said, “Does everything count?”
Qin Liuxi: “Of course. There are many situations that can lead to a yin soul haunting someone, but they all have their causes and effects. Looking at your face, you have the features of wealth, fortune, and longevity. You’re not born into nobility, but you are wealthy, which suggests your family has steady assets. It’s the facial features of someone who chose their birth well.”
Mr. He suddenly received a face reading that was all compliments and immediately broke into a smile.
“You’re wealthy but not noble, living your life as a kind and wealthy man, that’s not a problem.”
Mr. He let out a sound of dismay, his expression wilted: “Are you saying that I can’t become an official, that I can’t pass the scholar exams?”
Qin Liuxi retorted, “Don’t you know your own level of learning?”
That…
Mr. He sheepishly smiled, “I only passed the child student exams, and I failed the Scholar exams twice.”
Ding Yongliang, seeing their topic had drifted, then asked, “Master, what does this have to do with Mr. He being haunted by a yin soul?”
“It’s not related. I was just giving a casual face reading. Why, is it troubling Mr. Ding?”
Ding Yongliang: “…”
He really wanted to hit her.
Qin Liuxi continued to address Mr. He, “If Mr. Ding is unsatisfied, then I won’t say more. Let’s get back to your situation.”
Mr. He: Actually, it’s fine for you to say, I love to hear it.
Ding Yongliang: I didn’t, I am not, you’re talking nonsense.
“With your facial features, your family must have accumulated yin de by doing good deeds, resulting in the appearance of wealth and fortune. You were born into such a family, and under such upbringing, you wouldn’t oppress the good or tyrannize the weak. I didn’t see any signs of karma on you, but rather some small merits. Thus, if you’re still being haunted by a yin soul and have been contaminated with an evil aura, it can only mean you’ve been to some yin sha land, but since you said you’ve been nowhere, then you must have taken something you should not have, which has caused the haunting.”
After hearing this, Mr. He turned red in the face and stammered after a long pause, “Does, does a bellyband count?”
Qin Liuxi choked on the tea she had just sipped, “?”
Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, thinking, are you some kind of pervert, what’s a man doing with a bellyband?
Ding Yongliang was also stunned, looking at him. Although Mr. He was simple-minded, he was a kind-hearted person, and he was known for his benevolence. How could he have taken something so private from a woman?
He Shou’s face turned purple as he said, “It wasn’t intentional, my family owns a pawnshop, and just before New Year’s, I was there. The shopkeeper had stepped away when someone came to pawn something, and it was a bellyband.”
“A bellyband… Can that even be pawned? Such an intimate item?” Ding Yongliang felt somewhat ashamed to even say the word, his gaze drifting subconsciously toward Qin Liuxi, who remained unfazed.
This woman, she doesn’t feel any embarrassment at all?
He Shou continued: “Normally, no one would pawn such a thing, but this bellyband was out of the ordinary—it was exquisitely made with gold threads and even had Jade Beads inlaid.”
Ding Yongliang said softly, “No matter how exquisite, it’s still an item for women.”
“The person who came to pawn it caught me off guard too, but seeing how extraordinary and beautiful it was, I accepted it…” He Shou seemed very ashamed, not daring to make eye contact with Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi asked, “Was it a dead pawn?”
“Yes.”
“Did you take it home?”
He Shou nodded, explaining, “I just thought it was especially exquisite and was fascinated for a moment, so…”
At this point, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a sleazy scoundrel.
It’s a bellyband, an item worn close to a woman’s body, and here you are, a man taking it home for a collection. Do you have some sort of special fetish?
Ding Yongliang quietly moved two steps away.
He Shou’s face burned, and he stuttered: “I’m really not that kind of person. I just lost my head at the moment and took it home.”
With a barely concealed smile, Qin Liuxi said: “Were you planning to give it to a beloved lady friend?”
“No, no.”
“Let me guess, a woman was wrapping around you, telling you to return something to her?”
He Shou’s eyes widened: “How did you know?”
That woman indeed haunted him in his dreams, her lips moving constantly. At first, he didn’t understand what she was saying, but after several times, he realized she was asking for her item back.
Master is so divine!
“I guessed.” Anyway, it always goes like this.
Everyone was speechless; it was such an obvious question. If it was such an item, naturally, it would be related to a woman.
“Keeping such an item without being harmed by her, it’s thanks to the yin de accumulated by your family. But if you don’t deal with it, your luck will soon run out,” Qin Liuxi chuckled.
He Shou panicked: “I have no intention not to return it. I just was unaware, and besides, I didn’t steal or rob it. I genuinely exchanged real gold and silver for it from someone else. I just thought it was unusual and exquisite, which ignited a bit of appreciation. Master, you must help me. It wouldn’t be a problem for me to kowtow and apologize to the immortal, but you must help me.”
Chen Pi whispered something in her ear.
Oh, it’s the owner who bought the talisman.
Qin Liuxi knocked on the table: “Where is the item?”
“At my home,” He Shou immediately said: “My home is in Prefecture City.”
“Prefecture City? That’s too far, I’m not going!” Qin Liuxi immediately shook her head; her leg was still injured, and she didn’t want to go.
He Shou quickly offered: “I will order someone to fetch it at full speed right away. Is that acceptable?”
Qin Liuxi nodded and had Chen Pi hand over an Exorcism Talisman to him: “The item has an evil aura. Wrap it in this talisman before you bring it here to prevent harming anyone.”
He Shou hurriedly took it, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
