Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Heavenly Master is Really Formidable

"Is this, is this the Heavenly Master Shi?"

President An’s face was full of disbelief.

Zhao Jinlin nodded vigorously, "That’s right, this is Heavenly Master Shi!"

"President An, let me tell you, Heavenly Master Shi is amazing! The talismans she throws out casually are all enchanted! Whoosh whoosh whoosh—super cool!"

President An’s mouth twitched, "The way you describe it, why do I feel like it’s not reliable?"

Zhao Jinlin huffed, "Everything I’m saying is true, it’s not my problem if you don’t believe me!"

After he spoke, he ran over to Shi Yaoguang with enthusiastic eagerness, "Heavenly Master Shi, have you tired yourself out? Are you okay?"

Shi Yaoguang gave him a glance, "What do you think?"

Zhao Jinlin instinctively straightened his back, a sycophantic look on his face, "Heavenly Master Shi is tired, how about I treat you to a meal at a restaurant?"

"No need."

Shi Yaoguang directly refused.

Zhao Jinlin felt somewhat disappointed, but then he heard Shi Yaoguang say calmly, "I’ve dealt with the ghost haunting your ancestral home for you. Although you weren’t the one who hired me, but... I’ve done the job."

"Don’t forget to pay."

Zhao Jinlin blinked, "What did you say, Heavenly Master Shi? Did I hear you wrong?" That troublesome Ghost King, she dealt with him so easily?

Shi Yaoguang looked helpless, "If you need to go to the hospital to get your hearing checked, I can give you a discount."

"No, no, that’s alright."

Zhao Jinlin, bursting with excitement, "As long as it’s dealt with, that’s good, that’s good."

As he spoke, he chuckled, giving a big thumbs up, "Heavenly Master Shi really is incredible!"

Shi Yaoguang smiled without saying a word, turning her head to look at President An.

"President An, I’m heading back to Mingzhu City, shall we go together?"

President An nodded subconsciously.

It was a good while before he spoke, still somewhat confused, "You... You really are Heavenly Master Shi? Truly, a hero emerges from youth!"

Shi Yaoguang humbly replied, "I don’t deserve such praise."

President An: "..."

He laughed awkwardly, "Heavenly Master Shi is too modest. If you don’t deserve the title, who else could possibly qualify?"

You know, he became the president of the Celestial Master Association precisely because he was highly skilled.

But what happened?

He faced the Ghost King...

No, it wasn’t even the Ghost King himself he faced, just one of his subordinates, and he couldn’t resist at all, nearly losing his life in the process.

Shi Yaoguang kept saying "I don’t deserve such praise," yet she took care of the Ghost King.

Is there even a comparison?

President An felt the urge to withdraw into himself.

Seeing President An’s dispirited expression, Shi Yaoguang naturally changed the topic, "The Ghost King Zhao Ye wanted to use An Xiaoya’s life for his means. I’ve already undone the Formation for borrowing life. Xiaoya should wake up soon."

Upon hearing this, President An was overwhelmed with joy, "Really?"

If before he only recognized Shi Yaoguang’s abilities, now that he heard his granddaughter was safe, all that was left in his heart was gratitude towards her.

After all, his son and daughter-in-law met with misfortune early, leaving behind only his granddaughter, An Xiaoya.

If anything happened to An Xiaoya, he wouldn’t have wanted to go on living.

After Shi Yaoguang repeatedly assured that An Xiaoya would be fine, President An couldn’t wait to go back.

The girls who were taken to become part of the Ghost King’s Harem saw Shi Yaoguang preparing to leave and couldn’t help but become anxious.

"Heavenly Master Shi, what about us... what do we do?"

Seeing their almost tearful expressions, Shi Yaoguang pondered for a moment, then took out a few exorcism talismans and handed them to them.

"You remember where you came from, right? If you can’t find your way back, go seek help from the police, understand?"

The girls, coaxed by Shi Yaoguang’s tone as if soothing children, were left dazed. By the time they came to their senses, Shi Yaoguang and President An had already slipped away.

Zhao Jinlin, thinking the matter of the Ghost House was somewhat related to him, nobly took it upon himself to help arrange for their return journey.

Shi Yaoguang was pleased with this development and said that if there was a need for help, they could seek her out.

Zhao Jinlin agreed with uncontainable excitement and immediately added her on WeChat.

...

When Shi Yaoguang and Chairman An returned to Mingzhu City, the sky had already grown dark.

The members of the Metaphysics Organization’s headquarters were waiting anxiously.

"Why hasn’t Master returned yet? My master couldn’t have encountered any danger, could she?"

Shen Antai circled around Mr. Yu incessantly, muttering without a break.

Mr. Yu shot him a glance, "Now you’re worried? Master Shi has been gone for such a long time..."

With that, he sighed.

Everyone knew how perilous the Ghost House situation was.

Even Chairman An might not be a match for the Ghost King, so what good would a young girl like Yaoguang do?

Although...

With her help, An Xiaoya’s condition indeed hadn’t worsened.

But that didn’t prove that it was all her doing.

Maybe it was something Chairman An did, right?

Amidst all the speculation, Shen Antai’s confidence in Shi Yaoguang began to waver as well.

His master might be adept at sword flying, but catching ghosts was not her forte.

There’s a saying that different professions are as distinct as separate mountains; he was truly worried that his master would never return.

Ptui, ptui, ptui.

He didn’t really think that, his master would definitely return safely.

Shi Yaoguang was completely oblivious to his acting.

On the plane, she felt like she had forgotten something.

It wasn’t until her return to headquarters and someone asked her, "Master Shi, where are the disciples Wenren and the others?"

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang touched her nose in embarrassment.

She knew she had forgotten something, and it turned out she had forgotten the three people who had guided her earlier.

Chairman An, unaware of what had happened, heard this and pressed further, "What happened?"

Shi Yaoguang cleared her throat, attempting to cover up the fact that she had left people behind, "Ahem, isn’t it rare to get out for a bit? I figured those three probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to experience more of life."

The crowd: "..."

Don’t think they couldn’t tell; those words were clearly just an excuse.

Even though they all saw through it.

But, to give Shi Yaoguang a bit of face, they said nothing.

Pretending as if nothing had happened.

Once that was over, Chairman An couldn’t wait to see his granddaughter.

Looking at An Xiaoya’s rosy cheeks, mist filled the eyes of Chairman An.

Seeing Chairman An on the verge of tears, Shen Antai blurted out, "Chairman An, don’t cry now!"

Startled by his loud voice, the originally emotional Chairman An abruptly pulled himself together.

Shen Antai patted his shoulder, his desire for recognition blatantly clear, "Speaking of which, Chairman An, you should really thank me. If it weren’t for me, both you and Xiaoya could have been done for."

He spoke with an exaggerated swagger and even reached out his hand.

Acting as if he expected some reward.

Chairman An rolled his eyes, "It was Heavenly Master Shi who saved the day, what does that have to do with you?"

Shen Antai said with pride, "It doesn’t have anything to do with me? Hmph, the Heavenly Master Shi you speak of is my master! Master, understand?"

"You’ve taken a master?" Chairman An couldn’t hide his astonishment.

Shen Antai’s desire to find a master and cultivate the path had been trumpeted loudly by him long ago.

After all these years without becoming a disciple of any school, he thought the matter had simply fizzled out, so how had he suddenly found a master?
