One minute passed, two minutes passed... until after ten minutes, Yun Ran was still calculating.
The Ginsengfruit looked unexpectedly at its own Host. It was said that one’s family knows their own affairs best; for their Host, fortune-telling was as simple as eating and drinking.
But now, she had calculated a whole ten minutes. When calculating her own Life and Death Tribulation, it didn’t take this long.
Luo Rusheng didn’t seem bothered by this. In his view, it was only ten minutes. Previously, he had friends find a master, who calculated for a day and even bled himself from the effort.
At this moment, Yun Ran’s hand stopped calculating. Her brows lightly furrowed as she looked at Luo Rusheng.
"Has your family offended someone in the past century?"
Luo Rusheng was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Yun Ran to ask this after finishing calculating the Bazi.
"Master Yun, I... don’t quite understand what you mean?"
Could it be that the Luo family was nearly annihilated due to offending someone and facing revenge? What kind of hatred is this?
Despite his brain storming at this moment, he confidently said: "For a business family, it’s impossible not to have offended anyone.
But, the Luo family has always conducted business according to ancestral teachings, with honesty at its core. My father is also a prominent businessman locally.
Connections and resources are adequate; we are kind to others. Even if there are occasional frictions, they are just minor issues.
For families like ours, when faced with issues, we settle them with substantial wealth. There’s no way we provoked someone to seek annihilation."
Luo Rusheng felt confident saying this. When he was very young, he saw elder relatives generously helping those facing hardships.
If it weren’t for the pills Yun Ran provided earlier, greatly relieving him, he might have suspected Yun Ran had miscalculated.
Yun Ran was not concerned with the client’s skepticism. They were here to pay her to solve their problems. If they understood everything, why seek her help?
"I deduced you have significant cause and effect, and heavy Death Energy. Usually, only those with significant wrongdoing have such traits.
I was drawn by your high reward offering, but if your family truly committed unforgivable acts and is being avenged, I can’t intervene forcibly.
For those who don’t believe in it, cause and effect are mere words; for believers, it’s an insurmountable divine retribution.
I followed the cause and effect on you to recalibrate your family’s recent century-long Qi Fortune.
I can confidently tell you that your family indeed has contracted a formidable resentment.
However, this resentment and Death Energy unjustly fell upon those with some Merit among you.
Faintly, your benevolent actions preserved a final strand of life for you, leading you to this scholar’s residence and to meet me."
Luo Rusheng’s somewhat sickly face changed expressions at this moment.
Yun Ran’s words made him finally understand their family’s misfortune was indeed caused by hostility. Luckily, their annual good deeds spared them from complete ruin initially.
"Master Yun, is there hope for the Luo family?"
Yun Ran sat upright, regretting her face’s resemblance to that of the book world’s heroine — somewhat fragile and dainty.
This made her stern face lack authority; ah, another day imagining her former form.
"Remove the word ’hope,’ since I’ve deduced this grievance was excessive enough, I’m naturally going to uphold justice!"
The Ginsengfruit: ...
Hehe~ No wonder she’s wandered outside with that big deceiver master uncle. Clearly accepting money for disaster relief services, yet claiming to uphold justice now.
The Host’s shamelessness remains unwavering, but he likes it, hehe~
Luo Rusheng, adept at business, possesses skills in judging people. Yun Ran’s current demeanor gave him newfound hope.
Understanding the cause and effect, Yun Ran planned to get started, standing up and walking toward Luo Rusheng.
Before Luo Rusheng could react to Yun Ran’s intentions, her hand reached above his head and grabbed air.
A sticky, nearly solid black mist was caught in Yun Ran’s hand.
Almost simultaneously, Luo Rusheng, who felt incredibly weak and heavy, suddenly relaxed, experiencing much comfort.
He looked at Yun Ran with some shock: "This... what is it?"
Upon Yun Ran capturing the gooey black entity, the Ginsengfruit quickly fished out a palm-sized glass jar.
He hurried over: "Master, the container is ready!"
Yun Ran nodded and then, facing Luo Rusheng, opened the jar’s lid, stuffing the black entity inside.
Instantly, the previously transparent jar was filled with swirling blackness.
The blackness evidently resisted captivity, unsettled even inside the jar.
When caught, it couldn’t move, but now, the jar couldn’t confine it.
As the jar began to shake, the Ginsengfruit, though small, held it steadily and discreetly emitted Heavenly Thunder Flowers around.
The blackness immediately subdued itself, even compressing its form, turning a full jar into half.
The Ginsengfruit’s face showed satisfaction: Indeed, Heavenly Thunder is the nemesis of all evil — gratitude to the Host for fusing the last Heavenly Thunder Pearl with his body.
After dealing with the black entity, Yun Ran turned to respond to Luo Rusheng’s question: "Oh, this is the thing making you increasingly weak."
Although I’ve removed it, the previous physical damage is real, and needs proper recuperation."
As she spoke, Yun Ran took out pre-folded talisman papers, placing them on the table: "This is a Qi Talisman, helping a body eroded by Evil Energy to recover slowly.
The removal of the house infestation was a bonus service; these talisman papers require separate payment, 2000 yuan each. Need them?"
He spent billions, so why worry about this trivial cost?
If he hadn’t clearly felt much better, with Master Yun’s rhetoric, he’d suspect her of being a charlatan under the bridge.
