82 Jump of the building.

The artesian who was responsible for brushing it up had done a good job of making it look like it was some kind of fancy modern wind chime but he couldn't hide the strong scent of blood that was lingering on the bones that were used to craft this windchime and with her senses, it wasn't difficult for Song Yan to properly examine the situation. Two centuries-old huh, this was going to be a problem, she just recovered her Yang energy last night and that too after meditating for so long, but now it looks like she will have to spend another great deal of her time to recover her energy.

Sometimes, Song Yan wished that she didn't have to spend her time as a ghost, if she didn't live as a ghost her Yin energy wouldn't have been so out of control but then again if she didn't spend half a century learning the skills from the Gu family masters, then she wouldn't be able to take care of Song Lan and her capricious ways.

But as she looked at the wind chime, Song Yan couldn't help but think that this female ghost was going to be such a strenuous drag.

Then she turned to look at Assistant Xu and asked, " For how long did you have this wind chime in your bedroom?"

" Two weeks or so," answered Assistant Xu at once.

" Oh is that so?" Song Yan took a glance at his face that was still shrouded with the black mist of death and secretly sighed, no wonder his life was still in danger, the female ghost seemed to have sucked a lot of his Yan energy to regain her cultivation if she wasn't wrong even if he dealt with the female ghost today. Assistant Xu will still die before he could reach the age of forty. She sighed looks like it was going to be troublesome, even if the female ghost didn't kill him, she has sucked enough of his Yang energy to kill him.

Seeing that Assistant Xu was eyeing her like she was some sort of angel descending from the heavens, Song Yan tilted her head before pursing her lips. " I can exorcise this ghost for you but this one is going to cost you, after all, it will not only include taking care of the ghost but there will also be a follow-up, and what's more dealing with a ghost that is so old will be life-threatening for me, so, I should be paid as per the risks I am going to take, isn't that right?"

Assistant Xu wanted to say why was Second madam asking for money when her husband was practically one of the richest men in the city but then he remembered that it was the second madam who has signed for a divorce and was refusing to return to the Fu mansion. So, he changed his words at once afraid that he might offend Song Yan. " Second Madam, I am just a measly assistant the most I can pay you is five million."

Song Yan shook her head and stretched out three fingers. " That's too less, I am as you can see putting my life on the line and what's more I will have to take care of the damages that the female ghost has inflicted on your health as well. Last time I gave you two talisman and both of them costs more than five hundred thousand but I let you have them for free thus, saving your life. I cannot take any more damages, assistant Xu. Fifteen million and I will take care of the ghost for you, if not—— you can look for someone else."

Assistant Xu immediately understood that he wasn't going to get past Second madam this time… he could, of course, look for someone else but the thing was who was going to guarantee that the master he looked for was a genuine exorcist? What if he was a crook? He has already seen Second madam's power and knew that if she said that she can settle the ghost for him, she can definitely do that, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, " Alright, I will pay you fifteen million, Second madam, just take care of this ghost for me."

Song Yan was secretly pleased with herself, now she will be able to buy those herbs and replenish her Yang energy. Maybe she will even buy that thirty-year-old ginseng that she has been eyeing for so long but couldn't buy since the money in her bank was so pitiful, though she was feeling gleeful, she didn't show it on her face and maintained her strict expression all along. " Alright then transfer, three million in advance and once I take care of the female ghost, you can pay me the remaining balance then."

Assistant Xu took out his cellphone and quickly examined Song Yan's QR code before paying her the advance.

Once the money was transferred to her account, she took out a talisman from her space ring and with a swish threw it at the wind chime, as soon as the talisman stuck to the wind chime, the entire thing started to tinkle and a sad mournful tune started to play, Song Yan had spent more than five hundred years as a ghost and this tune was of no effect on her but it was Assistant Xu who started to feel that it was too cruel of them to destroy this pretty wind chime that was reeked of nothing but the melody.

His body swayed and he unknowingly took a step forward, if not for Song Yan who clamped her hand on his shoulder, Assistant Xu would have gotten a lot closer to the wind chime than he should have.

" Assistant Xu, what are you doing?" asked Song Yan as she pulled Assistant Xu back.

The latter blinked at her innocently before shaking his head like he was coming out of a daze and then a horrified gasp left his mouth. What was he doing? He was actually thinking of taking hold of the wind chime and jumping down the building so that no one would harm it! What the heck?
