Chapter 317: Heavenly Master 24
Watching Duan Chengming shivering as if he were about to freeze to death, Situ Shuangshuang maintained a calm exterior, but a closer look revealed the mischievous triumph in her eyes was nearly overflowing! In fact, an Illusion Talisman was quite valuable, worth at least ten thousand yuan if sold.
Though Situ Shuangshuang wouldn’t sell them, as her master Chen Qi never allowed her to sell talismans—it was said to be a rule passed down from her master’s mentor, for reasons unknown. Yet, the talisman was undoubtedly valuable, and Situ Shuangshuang used it for a prank instead, showing just how petty she could be!
But Situ Shuangshuang wasn’t just there for revenge. After dealing with the annoying Duan Chengming, she turned her attention to the ghost swathed in resentful energy before her, intending to question the ghost for its testimony and see if it matched her deductions.
Before beginning her interrogation, Situ Shuangshuang lit three Eye-opening Talismans to open the eyes of Wang Wei, Wang Jianyong, and Duan Chengming, so they could all see the ghost. This way, they could confront the truth of the matter with the ghost.
She wasn’t working for free; to charge people money after resolving issues, she had to show them something real. Otherwise, even if the problem was solved, words were unproven, and if someone accused her of being a fraud and refused to pay, she’d have no ground to stand on!
Before their eyes were opened, Wang Wei, Wang Jianyong, and Duan Chengming simply felt cold; Duan Chengming felt an abnormal chill. But after eye-opening, they saw a ghost suddenly appear, hovering above the skeleton among them—a figure entirely pitch-black!
How could they tell it was a ghost? Because its feet were floating in mid-air! What else could it be but a ghost? Wang Wei and Wang Jianyong were so terrified that they fell to the ground, then scrambled and crawled to hide behind Situ Shuangshuang!
Situ Shuangshuang looked down at the two cowardly men hiding by her legs with exasperation, fidgeted a bit, but held back.
With Situ Shuangshuang, the master, standing guard, Wang Wei and Wang Jianyong gained a bit of courage, peeping half-faced from behind her legs to sneak a look at the ghost floating above the skeleton, uncertain of its gender!
Duan Chengming saw the ghost materialize before him, feeling his worldview starting to crumble. Yet, he refused to believe it, convinced it was all a trick by the scammer Situ Shuangshuang!
