3098 Taoist Priest's Stuff

Shen Xiyin couldn't believe it. "Miss Leng, do you know how to get rid of ghosts?"

"A little, but please keep it a secret," Leng Xiaoyao said.

Finding out that Leng Xiaoyao could use Taoist skills, Shen Xiyin was shocked and couldn't digest the news right away. She felt it was too unbelievable to be true.

"Miss Leng, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Shen Xiyin promised seriously. Leng Xiaoyao wanted to save An Chenmeng, but she was also helping Shen Xiyin, so Shen Xiyin wouldn't return kindness with ingratitude.

"Miss Shen, if your aunt gave the jade pendant to you by chance, don't think too much about it. If not, there must be a purpose, but we need to know if her target is only you or your entire family. If you're not the only target, what did she give to your other family member?" Leng Xiaoyao said.

Shen Xiyin was shocked and her face instantly turned pale, showing her worry.

In that case, her family might be in danger as well.

"I-If that's true, what should I do? Should I tell my family? Miss Leng, please give me advice." Shen Xiyin felt helpless and immediately asked Leng Xiaoyao for help. Since Leng Xiaoyao could figure it out, she should have a solution.

"Before we are sure whether it was a scheme or an accident, we better not tell other people," Leng Xiaoyao said. If it was just an accident, it would be bad if more people heard about it.

"Then what should we do?" Shen Xiyin asked.

"You can call your family once in a while and ask about their condition. You better have video calls with them, so that you can directly see their condition. If they're fine, you don't need to say anything. If there is anything wrong, you can tell me. I'll think of a way to help you deal with it," Leng Xiaoyao said. Since she was involved, she would help Shen Xiyin if she needed her help. Anyway, it wasn't difficult.

"Sure." Shen Xiyin answered feeling a lot more relieved. Then she thanked Leng Xiaoyao. "Miss Leng, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know anything and might have become the culprit."

Although Shen Xiyin wouldn't know it had something to do with her if she didn't meet Leng Xiaoyao, she would feel guilty after finding out.

"Since I have the skills, I will definitely help you if you encounter trouble," Leng Xiaoyao said.

Either way, Shen Xiyin was very grateful to Leng Xiaoyao.

After hearing about the strange and scary things in the world, Shen Xiyin kept trembling in fear. It was beyond her knowledge of this world, so she couldn't digest the news within a short time.

Before long, Leng Xiaoyao found the place to buy yellow paper, brushes and cinnabar.

When the store owner saw that Leng Xiaoyao, a young girl, wanted to buy the things, he felt it was strange and asked why she wanted them.

Leng Xiaoyao didn't want to talk about it, so she directly said that she was buying it for her grandfather.

That being the case, the store owner didn't ask further.

After buying the stuff, Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin went to a herb store. She wrote down a prescription, bought the herbs, then went home.

"Miss Leng, you know about herbs too?" Shen Xiyin asked in surprise. She thought Leng Xiaoyao would need to ask a pharmacist for the prescription before buying the herbs, but unexpectedly Leng Xiaoyao did it on her own.

"A little," Leng Xiaoyao admitted.

Although Leng Xiaoyao said she knew a little about herbs, Shen Xiyin believed that she knew a lot more than just a little.

After experiencing what just happened, Leng Xiaoyao had completely impressed her and she really admired Leng Xiaoyao now.

...

In the An family's mansion, Mr. An and Mrs. An were anxiously waiting for Leng Xiaoyao to come back. Even though they still doubted Leng Xiaoyao's abilities, they were left with no choice.

When they were back in the An family's mansion, Shen Xiyin was much calmer, but she still needed time to digest the news.

"Xiaoyao, you're back."

Once Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin were back, Mrs. An went to welcome them. An Chenmeng followed behind. Mr. An also immediately stood up from the sofa. Looking at them urgently.

"Let's talk about it in Chenmeng's room," Leng Xiaoyao said.

"No problem," Mrs. An replied.

Afterwards, they went to An Chenmeng's room.

In An Chenmeng's room, Leng Xiaoyao took out the stuff she had bought and put them on the table.

Although they didn't know about the existence of ghosts, they had heard about them. Therefore, they knew what Leng Xiaoyao was doing the moment they saw the stuff.

"Are these Taoist priests' stuff?" An Chenmeng asked.

"I need to draw a Taoist talisman to get rid of ghosts. Chenmeng should wear it for three days. After three days when she stops having nightmares, she can remove it, but your clothing and things have all been affected by the evil power. You need to take them off. You can give your jade pendant to me. Then you can have a shower and put on clean clothing. Mrs. An will give you the clean clothing after you finish. You can't touch it right now," Leng Xiaoyao said.

In fact, it was unnecessary. Leng Xiaoyao only needed to get rid of the evil power in the jade pendant, but it was necessary to continue the act to distract them from the jade pendant.

"Sure." An Chenmeng agreed and directly took the pendant off. Then she gave it to Leng Xiaoyao. Leng Xiaoyao took it and immediately used her magical energy to get rid the evil power of the jade pendant.

"Miss Leng, you can draw Taoist magic figures?" Mr. An asked in surprise.

"Yes, but I can't tell you the details. Since you decided to trust me, please don't ask further about it. I promise I won't hurt An Chenmeng," Leng Xiaoyao said.

"Of course," Mr. An said. He understood that he couldn't ask about everything, so he closed his mouth.

"This Taoist talisman can chase the ghost away, but Chenmeng has already been affected. She needs to take herbs to recover faster. If you don't believe me, you can take the prescription to the hospital or ask a herb expert. If Chenming doesn't want to drink it because it's bitter, she can only make a slow recovery. It'll affect her life and study," Leng Xiaoyao said.
