While waiting for Xie Bian, Yan Kongyue absorbed and refined the Gui Qi in the courtyard. Although it was a bit rushed, the effect was still remarkable. By the time Xie Bian and Fan Wu Jiu arrived, Yan Kongyue was already feeling a bit impatient.
"Hurry up, take them away!"
Fan Wu Jiu bound the Drowned Ghost, while Xie Bian summoned two Gui Chai to pack up the corpses that had been defeated. Just before they left, Yan Kongyue handed over the refined Gui Qi to them.
"Thank you, Boss!" Fan Wu Jiu said cheerfully as they left in high spirits.
Xie Bian had expected to be scolded again, but instead, Yan Kongyue not only remained calm but also gave them Gui Qi.
"Next time, don’t dawdle!" Xie Bian shot a glare at Fan Wu Jiu.
"I-I didn’t mean to waste time," he stammered.
Lin Qian and Huo Jingyu were no longer afraid of Heibai Wuchang, but the atmosphere inside the house was different. The Golden Curtain served as both their protection and a bridge between the human world and the spirit realm; they could see everything happening outside through the cracks.
Especially a few old Taoists who looked like they were about to kneel down in reverence.
Huo Jin was the first to step out of the living room, checking if Yan Kongyue was injured. The earlier commotion had made her extremely anxious; she had wanted to rush out several times but was stopped by everyone.
"Child, you must be tired!" Huo Jin gently brushed her daughter's hair.
"Yes, I want to eat."
"Alright, I’ll have someone prepare something!"
"Don’t prepare anything, Aunt! Let’s go buy some late-night snacks at Fuyuan Pavilion." Huo Jinghan and Huo Jingchen also came out, their eyes filled with admiration for Yan Kongyue.
"Huh? What time is it? Can we still buy anything?" Huo Jin asked with concern.
"Of course! They changed to late-night hours last year."
"Oh right, how could I forget? Go on then, buy more! Yue Yue likes shrimp and meat."
"Got it!" With the ghosts dealt with and the courtyard now brightened up, they no longer felt afraid.
Back in the living room, everyone surrounded Yan Kongyue tightly.
"Child, you are truly amazing!" The Huo Family Matriarch squeezed her way to the front. Given her current status, she had no choice but to assert herself.
Hehe! Yan Kongyue didn’t know how to respond. Saying it was a small matter would make her seem overly dramatic, while saying she would do her best wasn’t her style either.
By the way, Grandpa Huo, what are you planning to do with that screen?
It can’t stay, right?
Dad, why are you still thinking about keeping it? Huo Pengcheng isn’t doing this anymore.
But didn’t we deal with that ghost already? Old Master Huo looked at Yan Kongyue, hoping she would speak up for him.
Grandpa Huo, if you don’t mind my saying, I could help you clean the screen.
Clean it?
Yes, after all, it was used to cover a coffin and was sealed as well. Keeping it at home could negatively affect the Huo Family’s fortune and the health of the descendants. Cleaning it would help dispel some bad luck and lessen the impact significantly.
I see!
Dad, can we just get rid of it? I can find you some better wood later on.
Yeah, Dad, that thing is essentially coffin boards; it’s quite unsettling. Plus, we’d have to trouble Yue Yue to clean it. Both brothers from the Huo Family had their own shadows lingering in their hearts.
You all decide what to do; I’m not too keen on it either, but I just can’t bear to part with the carvings on it.
By the way, Grandpa Huo, don’t you think there’s something suspicious about this? Yan Kongyue shared her suspicions with everyone.
Smack! Old Master Huo slapped his thigh: Yes, yes! I knew something was off. It seems someone has targeted our Huo Family!
