Chapter 1525: Have High Hopes for You
This time, dealing with Feng Yin and Song Ruoxi had caused Ning Shu’s body to suffer severe trauma. She had no choice but to slowly recuperate.
However, it was not all that bad, as more spiritual energy was gathered at the daoist temple by the Spirit Gathering Formation than in the city.
She relied on the Unsurpassable Martial Arts to slowly repair her damaged meridians.
This incident also left its mark on the old man’s body. He was already past his prime, and he didn’t have the same vigor as before. The Yin and baleful energy had seeped into his body and he was already quite old, so the incident had damaged his health greatly.
Ning Shu tried her best to help the old man with his deteriorating health, sending a bit of spiritual energy into his body every now and then to repair it.
The old man turned into an arm-flinging shopkeeper and left everything to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu took her junior brother, Tao Sheng, out on Daoist ceremonies. Now that her ghost-hunting skills were getting increasingly proficient, ordinary ghosts were like a walk in the park for Ning Shu.
Ning Shu left behind the Yang-assembling Spell Formation, the Immortal Binding Formation, and the Unsurpassable Martial Arts for the old man.
She told him that she had picked up this martial arts manual somewhere and found it quite useful. Furthermore, the energy could even activate the ancestor’s compass.
The old man immediately stroked his beard and said, “This thing was destined for our Mt. Mao Sect. Since it can strengthen the body, let those little pups learn it.”
Ning Shu: …
So shameless.
“The sect will be depending on you from now on. Master is old and can only give you his blessings.” The old man rubbed his graying beard.
Ning Shu said, “I’ll definitely be filial, take care of my younger brothers and sisters, and pass on the Mt. Mao legacy.”
The old man was comfortable in his recliner, bathing under the warm sun. “I have high hopes for you.”
Ning Shu: …
After Ning Shu’s constant night and day cultivation, her body’s hidden injuries were finally getting better.
What Ning Shu never expected was that Xie Yiyuan actually came to the Daoist Temple and brought a construction team with him.
The old man wasn’t pleased to see Xie Yiyuan and asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“Dad said to help you renovate the temple,” said Xie Yiyuan.
“Alright, the workers stay, you go.” The old man waved his hand at Xie Yiyuan, telling him to hurry and scram…
Xie Yiyuan looked at Ning Shu and said, “I’ll just have a word with Tao Qin.”
“What’s there to say?” The old man watched Xie Yiyuan warily.
Ning Shu jumped in their conversation, “Master, I’ll just talk with him for a bit.”
The old man put his hands behind his back and muttered, “What’s there to say? They won’t even let the adults join…”
Ning Shu and Xie Yiyuan left the Daoist Temple and walked on the dirt road in the village.
Xie Yiyuan picked up a leaf from the roadside, played with it in his hands, and said, “I just wanted to apologize to you; I was too reckless and not sincere enough.”
Ning Shu nodded.
“My father said you’d be a good wife, but I actually regretted it when I said I was going to marry you. Honestly, I don’t really like you.” Xie Yiyuan bared his heart.
Ning Shu: The door gods could also keep the house safe…[1]
Xie Yiyuan looked at Ning Shu. This kind of girl was really not his type. Even though his father said it could keep the family home safe, a woman who dealt with ghosts all the time…
Could any man, with his hand on his heart, swear he liked her?
Ning Shu: →_→
Ning Shu smiled and looked at Xie Yiyuan. “Is that what you came to tell me?”
“Although we can’t be a couple, we can still be friends. We can work together in the future,” said Xie Yiyuan with a smile.
This was a businessman. Xie Yiyuan intended to maintain a relationship between them. If he encountered any supernatural events in the future, he could still come to her.
