After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 137 Are you really not a Heavenly Master?

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Are you really not a Heavenly Master?

Even Shi Yaoguang felt her face grow hot from her disciple’s fulsome flattery.

Yet Master Shen appeared utterly unaware of his own over-the-top praise as he earnestly spouted nonsense.

"Master, you can tell at a glance that you’re no ordinary person..."

Shi Yaoguang quickly interrupted him, "Enough, stop it, let’s get serious."

Shen Antai immediately calmed down, adopting an obedient expression as if ready to be lectured.

Shi Yaoguang said, "An Xiaoya’s situation is dire, considering the state she’s in with her life being borrowed, she’s unlikely to last more than a week."

At these words, everyone was shocked.

Not even a week!

Previously, President An had said that Xiaoya might not survive three days.

But in Shi Yaoguang’s mouth, it turned into a week.

Does this mean that Shi Yaoguang’s abilities are somewhat greater than President An’s?

Of course, this guess is based on the assumption that Shi Yaoguang was not talking nonsense.

If she was just speaking off the cuff, then the time frame could be as long as she wanted and could not be taken seriously.

Shi Yaoguang knew that people barely believed anything she said.

But no matter, she knew the truth herself.

And...

An Xiaoya was indeed in mortal danger; had Shi Yaoguang not known, it would have been another matter, but knowing it, there was no reason for her to stand idly by.

When Shen Antai heard his master was going to rescue someone, he jumped up excitedly, "Master, how are you going to save her? Can you guarantee your own safety?"

It wasn’t that he doubted his master, but the situation was too dangerous, and he couldn’t bear to have her risk it.

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, "Are you doubting me?"

"No, no, why would I doubt you, Master?" Shen Antai smiled ingratiatingly, "I’m just worried, that’s all. The Ghost House is really dangerous, and you’re so young and beautiful, Master. What if the ghosts inside have unkind thoughts? Won’t that put you in danger?"

"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine."

Shi Yaoguang reassured her disciple and then turned to the Celestial Master Association members, "Where did you say this Ghost House is located?"

The Celestial Master Association members had a bewildered look on their faces: "Are you really going?"

"Mm-hm."

"But that Ghost House is extremely dangerous, not even President An can be sure..."

With a single look from Shi Yaoguang, the person speaking silently closed his mouth, "Since you insist on going, then I’ll take you."

Shi Yaoguang nodded slightly, "Thank you for the trouble."

Before she left, she asked someone for Huangbiao Paper and a Talisman Brush, and drew several talismans with cinnabar ink.

They say laymen watch the excitement while experts watch the technique.

Everyone was stunned by her talisman drawing skills.

"Great Master, are you really not a Heavenly Master?"

"Master, your technique is simply supreme, right?"

The people from the Celestial Master Association watched her complete a talisman in one go and were awed by her fluidity and grace.

Goddess knows how difficult drawing talismans can be!

Aside from the utterly useless scribbles that some pass off as talismans, to actually draw talismans that contain real magical effects is an extreme test of one’s abilities.

Both talent and effort are essential, and some people will never draw a premium Talisman in their whole lives.

However, as the saying goes...

Comparisons between people can really be demoralizing.

For the members of the Celestial Master Association, drawing a premium Talisman was as hard as reaching the heavens.

In the hands of Shi Yaoguang, it was as natural as eating and drinking.

Every Talisman she drew was completed in one continuous stroke.

Moreover, each and every one was premium!

The spectacle dazzled the onlookers.

Some even couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, "Could she be a Celestial Maiden? Despite her youthful appearance, she might actually be a centuries-old sorceress!"

"Shh! Aren’t you afraid of being retaliated against for slandering the boss like this?"

"Woo, I’m so jealous of the boss’s hands. So many talismans drawn and not a single mistake!"

"I advise you not to compare yourself with the boss. You can’t compete, just can’t."

Shi Yaoguang listened to their self-proclaimed quiet discussions, and couldn’t help but laugh to herself.

Their suspicions of her being the Celestial Maiden weren’t without foundation.

Having completed so many tasks, her psychological age indeed...

After she finished drawing the talismans, she affixed three pieces of Huangbiao Paper on the door of An Xiaoya’s room, and placed one on her body, "I’ve temporarily suppressed the speed at which An Xiaoya’s life is being borrowed with these talismans. For a short time, her physical condition won’t deteriorate any further."

Having said that, she took out two top-quality talismans and handed them to the Celestial Master Association member who had provided her with the raw materials earlier, "These two talismans are for you."

The member was ecstatic and in disbelief, repeatedly confirming, "Are these... really for me?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded slightly, his excitement was unmistakable.

The others watched with envy.

But there was nothing they could do; who told them to be slower?

Opportunity was like grabbing a red packet. One slow reaction, and it was gone.

They could only lament, it’s all fate.

Shi Yaoguang had no idea their minds were filled with such intense drama.

She gave Shen Antai a quick instruction and then followed the Celestial Master Association members away.

Shen Antai wanted to follow along but was sent packing with Yu Lao’s words, "You’d just be a drag."

The old grandfather, unable to follow, immediately wilted.

Shi Yaoguang was in no mood to concern herself with the old man’s feelings, and she headed straight to the airport to fly to the region where the Ghost House was located.

This place was once the capital of a country; a millennium has passed, and it became an outlying area.

The Ghost House was originally a prince’s mansion; at one time, the prince was highly favored by the emperor, so the residence was neither small nor insignificant, it was even called a small Imperial Palace in those days.

Later, for some unknown reason, it fell into decline, and now, few people even knew of this place.

In recent years, due to the Ghost House frequently making bloody headlines, people became even more afraid to approach.

And so the Ghost House became more and more desolate.

The members from the Celestial Master Association who came were three in total, named Tang Ji, Yuan Qi, and Weng Renqian.

Among these three, Weng Renqian was implicitly the leader.

"Boss, what do we do next?"

Standing at the entrance to the Ghost House, Weng Renqian asked Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang replied, "I’ll go in by myself. You guys find somewhere safe to hide."

The three: "Hide, hide ourselves?"

"What else?" Shi Yaoguang retorted as if it were the most natural thing, "Your master might not even be able to kill the things in the Ghost House. Can you?"

The three: "..."

That hit home; they were not up to the task.

Shi Yaoguang said, "For your safety, leave now."

They hesitated, "If we leave, what will you do?"

Shi Yaoguang gave them a smile, "If you don’t leave, you’ll be the ones holding me back."

The three: "..."

Helpless, they obediently departed.

Watching Shi Yaoguang step into the Ghost House, they could only pray in their hearts that she would come out completely unharmed.

As soon as Shi Yaoguang stepped into the Ghost House, she was enveloped by the soaring yin energy.

She frowned, sighing inwardly.

It seemed the things inside the Ghost House were even more troublesome than she had anticipated.

She pulled out a talisman that she had drawn herself and tossed it towards where the yin energy was concentrated.

The yin energy that had trapped her scattered instantly.

Now Shi Yaoguang began to survey the interior of the Ghost House, and with one look, she sensed something was off...
