Chapter 30 Likes Ghost Hunting

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Likes Ghost Hunting

It was almost nine o’clock by the time they got home.

Yun Qiuce was being chased around by the Old Master, who was leaning on a cane, jumping up and down in the living room and courtyard. "Dad, Qi and I went to do business, really! Ow, my butt..."

"Why don’t you believe me? Pang Hu’s aunt and her family were covered in Evil Qi. Qi and I were just fighting chaotically... Ow, my foot!"

...

"Fighting chaotically? You dare to say, with your skills you could barely fight at all..."

The Old Master got tired of chasing and finally stopped.

He turned back and held Little Dumpling’s hand, "Qi, are you hungry? Grandpa will have the kitchen prepare something for you."

"Grandpa, I already ate. My uncle and I really went to do business."

"I believe you, how could Grandpa not believe what Qi says? Grandpa just thinks your uncle needs some discipline..."

Though he thought it was not quite right for a child like Qi to go out doing business.

But according to the Xuan Sect’s rules, practical experience is valued above all, and only by solving people’s problems hands-on can one become a true master.

The Yun Family’s ancestors were wandering magicians, and it took them decades to establish a reputation.

Thus, Mr. Yun had no intentions of intervening.

However, Yun Qiuce still deserved a beating for coming back so late; what if his precious granddaughter ended up hungry?

Sure enough, the next morning Pang Hu obediently brought over the money.

The Old Master looked at the full 800,000 and fell silent.

According to the Xuan Sect’s rules, it’s traditional to take money to resolve others’ disasters, but wasn’t 800,000 too much?

In his days before retirement, the highest fee he ever got was 200,000.

Even then, it was a sky-high price.

Now with Yun Ying’s widespread reputation, her highest quote is only 80,000.

Yun Qi, a mere child, had a single job worth ten of Yun Ying’s...

Forget it, if people are willing to pay this amount, it means Qi is worth this much!

The Old Master accepted it without hesitation and had Yun Qiuce take Yun Qi to open a private bank account.

He also bought her the latest children’s watch, which can make calls, video, and even scan for payments.

Yun Qi, having never seen such a novelty, curiously fiddled with the children’s watch on her wrist, learning its operating skills.

Pang Hu peeked over, with a constipated expression on his face.

Yun Qiuce snapped impatiently, "If you have something to say, just spit it out. What’s got your intestines in a knot?"

Pang Hu gave a fawning smile, "Brother Yun, then I’ll just say it. After you left last night, my uncle’s headache immediately stopped. Several key people in the company also called, saying they were willing to stand by the company through tough times. My aunt is extremely grateful to Qi. But there’s one more thing..."

He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

Yun Qi looked up, "The Evil Qi isn’t completely removed?"

"My aunt’s family is clear of it. But as I mentioned before, the antiques were bought by my aunt from someone else, and there were three items. The Jade Pendant was given to me, the Jade Pendant she kept, and she gifted a painting to someone else. So... my aunt wonders if that painting might not be something proper either."

"She wants me to help someone else?"

Pang Hu looked troubled, "We’re out of options. My aunt gave that painting to a very important client, Xu Shixiong from the Xu family. You must have heard of them."

"Xu Shixiong?" Yun Qiuce pondered.

He was not unfamiliar with the Xu family, but not well-acquainted either, just nodding acquaintances in social settings with no real personal or business interactions.

"Yes, Xu Shixiong’s wife, Mo Wanting, once bought an ice jade bracelet through my aunt. The profit from just one bracelet was enough to cover my aunt’s company’s profits for a year. My aunt wanted to maintain such a major client, so she gifted the painting to Mo Wanting, only for things to backfire. She’s worried there might be something wrong with the painting, like ghosts or demons, affecting Mo Wanting’s family. Losing a major client is one thing, but she fears retaliation."

"I see." Yun Qiuce nodded understandingly, comprehending Wang Meixiang’s current concerns. Losing a big client wasn’t the scary part; offending the Xu family was. If something indeed happened to Mo Wanting, the Xu family would not let it slide easily.

"So is it buy-one-get-one-free, or charge another 800,000?" Yun Qiuce sought Yun Qi’s opinion.

Yun Qi continued to play the games on her children’s watch, her small brows furrowed, not even looking up as she replied crisply and decisively, "No, I don’t care about the money; I like ghost hunting."
