She would always protect her parents, determined not to let them suffer any harm from the non-human entities.
Maintaining her own worldview was actually quite nice—better than dragging her parents into the fray of right and wrong and then having them encounter danger.
He Qingfeng and Su Min were unaware of their little girl’s scheming, and they freely mocked the unlucky Su Wenbo before He Qingfeng began to put on a show with his phone.
Through his pretentious gibberish, the old lady who had lit an everlasting lamp at Guiyuan Temple took He Qingfeng for an enlightened master who had come a long way to exorcise evil and ensure the safety of her family.
The old lady, with no reservations, gave He Qingfeng her address right away.
Since it was evening and inconvenient to visit, He Qingfeng arranged with the old lady to visit her house the next morning.
Su Min meanwhile booked a three-star standard hotel where the family of three made do for the night.
The next day, He Qingfeng changed into his Taoist robe and was ready to set off.
But He Tiantian insisted on following him.
As a seasoned daughter slave, He Qingfeng naturally would not refuse her.
After some thought, he even found an excuse for her, "Actually, it’s good for Tiantian to go too—I can mention to the old lady about asking her son-in-law to help with making an appointment."
Getting a good specialist appointment at Xiehe Hospital was extremely difficult.
Not wanting to let ticket scalpers benefit from the hard-earned money he made, He Qingfeng had to find connections by all means.
"Then I will go too."
Su Min nodded her head, thinking that their family’s relationship was legal and legitimate; there was no need to hide it.
As accomplished swindlers, they were very clear that the cleverest lies contain both truth and falsehood.
They would candidly present to others the truths that could be made public, and thus people would believe them from the bottom of their hearts.
When they lied, people wouldn’t easily doubt them.
Indeed, upon seeing He Qingfeng and his family arrive together, Old Madam Zhang was initially surprised.
But after He Qingfeng explained the different kinds of Taoist priests, citing the famous Heavenly Master Zhang as an example, the old lady suddenly nodded in understanding.
"So it is!" The old lady immediately felt enlightened.
Zhang Yuan, following at Old Madam Zhang’s side, initially thought his grandmother had encountered another charlatan from the Itinerant World.
But seeing He Qingfeng’s honesty, and with the diplomatic note, Taoist certificate, and other credentials issued by the Taoist Association, he started to believe a bit.
"...I didn’t go anywhere special, just to a haunted house that used to be an abandoned hospital a few days ago!"
Finally meeting a real Taoist, and one skilled in talisman drawing no less, Zhang Yuan also became somewhat interested.
He cooperated fully in recounting his recent whereabouts.
He Qingfeng nodded slowly, "Hospitals are full of lingering spirits, even abandoned ones still retain a lot of yin energy."
"But fortunately, your grandmother has kept an everlasting lamp lit for you, under the protection of the Three Pure Ancestors, you’ve only suffered a minor injury and it hasn’t endangered your life!"
"I have a peace charm here; carry it with you. Normally, you should spend more time out in the sun, especially at noon when the yang energy is strongest!"
As He Qingfeng spoke, he even took out a peace charm from his pocket.
Old Madam Zhang hurriedly inquired about the price, but He Qingfeng pretended to be nonchalant as he waved his hand, "I have a bit of fate with the young master here, this peace charm is a meeting gift for him!"
They were going to ask the old lady for a favor, so they couldn’t refuse to give her anything in return, right?
He Qingfeng mentioned that peace charms and such he could draw easily, it does not cost him anything.
But to outsiders, the price was set at 2999, and it could ensure safety—a considerable meeting gift indeed.
He Tiantian: ...knew dad was stingy.
He Tiantian slightly twisted her wrist, her fingertip forming a Qi Needle.
Just as Zhang Yuan reluctantly accepted the charm with some curiosity, He Tiantian flicked her finger.
The strands of dark energy clinging to Zhang Yuan were suddenly scattered.
"Huh?" Holding the peace charm, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt the coolness around him vanish, feeling warm from the inside out.
"Yuan Yuan, what’s wrong?" Old Lady Zhang paid close attention to her grandson’s every move, and seeing a puzzled look on his face, she hurriedly asked.
"Nothing! Grandma, I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I suddenly feel very comfortable, no longer feeling chilled!"
This was unbelievable, had he really been contaminated with yin energy in the haunted house?!
He Qingfeng: ...Another day of exceptional acting.
Even this chubby boy was convinced; he believed he encountered a ghost, and thus felt psychologically suggested.
He Tiantian: ...Dad, as long as you’re happy!
He Tiantian took the opportunity to mark the peace charm with a trace...
