Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Ignorance

Master Huang had a sudden epileptic fit, then sprang up, holding the Peach Wood Sword and pointing it to the sky, seemingly to challenge the heavens.

"I am the King of Heaven, under the Heavenly Lord’s command, descended to aid Master Huang in expelling demons and slaying ghosts."

Dong Jinsu lay prostrate on the ground, trembling with excitement, "The Immortal has manifested, greetings to the King of Heaven, I kowtow to you, my name is Dong Jinsu, I kowtow to you..."

Dong Jinsu was so excited that she rambled incoherently, thudding... she actually started kowtowing seriously, knocking hard and loudly.

"King of Heaven, my name is Dong Jinsu, I beseech you to bless me with great wealth, to bless me with longevity..."

Qin Yi watched in astonishment, how ignorant does one have to be to believe such nonsense?

"Hey, you filthy thing causing harm, where do you think you’re escaping? Watch as I, the King of Heaven, come to slay you."

Master Huang rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window, wielding the Peach Wood Sword, and slashed down.

"You wretched thing, I send you to Reincarnation."

With that, he thrust the sword as if genuinely piercing something.

"And you, don’t think that just because you’re hiding you can’t be seen by me, I am the King of Heaven, prepare to die."

Master Huang charged towards the staircase with the sword, then swung it a few times.

Anyway, this Master Huang seemed very juvenile, jumping and slashing at the air, exhausting himself with several minutes of exertion until he was panting like a dog with its tongue out.

Then, he burned a few sheets of yellow paper.

The entire living room was filled with smoke, unbearable to stay in.

"This King is departing."

Master Huang sat down on the ground and had another epileptic fit.

"Oww..."

Master Huang let out a strange cry, then opened his eyes, gestured a few times, and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Master Huang, has the King of Heaven left?" Dong Jinsu asked with a face full of reverence.

"Presumptuous, the King of Heaven was sent by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to assist me, that’s called ascending, how can you say leave?"

Dong Jinsu quickly slapped her own mouth a few times, "Master Huang, don’t be angry, it was my mistake, I was wrong!"

Qin Yi almost burst out laughing, ascend? Isn’t saying ’leave’ better than ’ascend’?

And that phrase ’This King is departing’ reminded Qin Yi of a classic line from Journey to the West: ’The old Sun is leaving!’

Has this King of Heaven been hit silly by Sun Wukong? Actually doing an imitation act.

Dong Jinsu got up from the ground and respectfully asked, "Master Huang, are all the ghosts in the house cleared out?"

Master Huang stood up, stroking his beard, "I just slayed eighteen ghosts, but there is still one left."

"Master Huang, hurry up and help us slay it," Dong Jinsu said in panic.

Master Huang looked at Xia Yanbing, looking troubled, "This..."

Dong Jinsu quickly asked, "Master Huang, what is it you’d like to say directly, don’t scare me."

Master Huang sighed, "Oh well, I’ll help you adjust the Feng Shui instead, there’s an issue with this house’s Feng Shui, it doesn’t gather wealth."

"This floor-to-ceiling window needs to be sealed, the window should be moved here."

"And this door, using the Book of Changes and Eight Trigrams, Xun facing Kan is a Death Gate, this door needs to be changed, too many people passing through it will lead to death."

"This door needs to be moved here, this is the Life Gate."

Master Huang pinched his fingers, gesturing, walking around as he told Dong Jinsu the positions to alter.

Qin Yi frowned; if this Master Huang was just scamming a bit of money, he might let it go. But he had looked at Xia Yanbing with a hesitating look just now, clearly with ulterior motives.

Qin Yi’s eyes turned cold; it’s tolerable to scam money, but to have designs on Xia Yanbing is sheer folly.

Qin Yi took out his phone and sent a message.

Xia Yanbing furrowed her eyebrows slightly, muttering, "How did he see what was inside the envelope?"

Qin Yi laughed, Xia Yanbing is still puzzled by this.

But he felt a warmth in his heart; he hadn’t expected Xia Yanbing to be concerned about his leg, otherwise, she wouldn’t have written about it in the letter.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Water."

"Hmm?" Xia Yanbing turned to look at Qin Yi, her eyes full of confusion, "What did you say?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "The envelope and paper he gave you are thin and absorbent, likely specially made."

"The secret lies in the water he asked for, as long as water is splashed on the envelope, the writing inside would appear, he took a peek while spinning around and saw what was inside."

Xia Yanbing was stunned, then suspiciously went over to pick up the envelope that hadn’t been destroyed, there were indeed traces of water stains, but it had dried up, she sprinkled a bit of water on the envelope, and the writing inside indeed faintly emerged.

So that’s how it is?

Xia Yanbing’s pretty face darkened, as it was indeed a deceptive trick.

Xia Yanbing walked back, looking at Qin Yi suspiciously, "How do you know this?"

Qin Yi laughed, "I read it in a book. Everything he’s saying now is nonsense."

"All that talk about Xun facing Kan as a Death Gate, his positioning just now was all wrong, this door’s position is perfectly fine."

"And if the window is moved to where he said, it directly faces the door, that’s called a ’Piercing Hall Sha’, that’s when problems will occur."

"And if I’m not mistaken, his next step is to target you."

Xia Yanbing looked at Qin Yi in surprise, "How do you know so much?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "I like to read books at home when I’m bored, I learned all this from books."

"It’s said that there is a house of gold in books, but I’ve turned books inside out and found no house of gold."

Xia Yanbing looked at Qin Yi in astonishment, thinking carefully, though they’ve been married for many years, she never really got to know this man, didn’t think he had such skills.

But hearing Qin Yi say he looked for the house of gold in books, she rolled her eyes but then smiled, realizing this silent guy has a humorous side she hadn’t discovered before.

"Are you also trying to find a beauty like jade in the books?"

Qin Yi said, "I’ve already found one."

"Hmm?" Xia Yanbing got interested, "Then tell me where this beauty is?"

"A faraway place, right before your eyes."

Xia Yanbing paused, only then realizing Qin Yi was talking about her, blushing slightly, a bit pleasantly surprised inside.

But Xia Yanbing quickly returned to normal, changing her tone, "You said just now that this Master Huang intends to target me, what do you mean?"

"You probably didn’t notice, when he talked about the last ghost, he glanced at you hesitantly. This is a tactic of feigned retreat, I guess he’ll say the last ghost is on you, and as for how to exorcise it, he’d likely make some very unreasonable demands."

Xia Yanbing sneered, giving a look of disgust at Master Huang, who was pretending to be profound with Dong Jinsu.

"Since you know he’s a fraud, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "Even if I said it, would Mom believe me?"
