"Isn't there anything for me, Sister?" Lin Lie asked. He was a businessman who believed in his own abilities, yet he acknowledged the existence of feng shui and metaphysics.
"A talisman!" Yan Kongyue said as she saw Lin Lie extending his hand towards her, and she handed him a coin.
As the talisman fell into his palm, the coin flashed with a golden light. He tried to convince himself that it was just a trick of the light, but a voice inside him insisted that he had truly seen it.
Yes, it was indeed an ordinary coin, one that belonged to He Bin. However, when Yan Kongyue passed it to Lin Lie, she infused it with her spiritual energy. Although it seemed like just a touch of energy added to the coin, it could be life-saving in critical moments.
"I want one too!" Lin Zhuo and Lin Feng chimed in unison.
"Sure, sure!" Yan Kongyue was generous; after all, she was only adding a bit of her spiritual energy, which cost her nothing and could protect the Lin Family. Why not?
Seeing that everyone else had one, Lin Old Man looked on eagerly, waiting for his turn, but Yan Kongyue's hands were empty.
"Yue, no more coins?" Lin Old Man asked anxiously.
"Shh!" Yan Kongyue gestured for silence towards the old man and rummaged through her bag to pull out a gold coin, which she directly pressed into his hand.
While everyone was busy examining their coins, Yan Kongyue sat beside the old man and whispered, "Grandpa, this is pure gold—there's only one like it in the whole world. I brought several! It wards off evil and brings peace. If you carry it with you, you'll sleep soundly at night!"
Coughing lightly, the old man quickly pretended nothing had happened and calmly tightened his grip on the gold coin. His talisman was truly unique; he hadn't just gained a granddaughter but discovered a treasure instead.
Finally free from the family gathering, Yan Kongyue was led by Uncle Da to her own room.
"Yue Yue, make yourself at home. If you find anything unsatisfactory, Uncle Da will arrange for renovations!"
"No need; it's quite nice!" Yan Kongyue replied with satisfaction.
"Then you should get some rest! I won't disturb you any longer!"
"Goodnight, Uncle Da!"
"Yan Kongyue, I've run some water for you; you can take a bath later!" Wei He felt older than Yan Kongyue and naturally took on the role of an older sister, believing it's only right for an older sister to care for her younger sibling.
"What time is it?" Yan Kongyue flopped onto her bed.
"Almost eleven!"
"Hmm... no time for a bath now. I have to go out later; let me just lie down for a bit. I'm exhausted!"
"Alright then!"
The Lin Family brothers each had their own little courtyards. As Lin Lie, Lin Zhuo, and Lin Feng walked towards the backyard together, Lin Zhuo recounted the incident of Lin Qian's car accident to Lin Lie and Lin Feng and informed them that Yan Kongyue planned to confront the Ghost King that night.
"The Ghost King? Do you really believe there are ghosts in this world?" Lin Feng asked incredulously as he looked at his brother who was a police officer.
Of course, where there are gods, there are ghosts!
Unless I see it with my own eyes, I won't believe it!
Lin Zhuo glanced at his brother, San Tang Di, who was a member of the armed police.
Brother, why does your gaze look like you're staring at a fool?
That's right, he was indeed looking at a fool! Lin Lie recalled the flash of golden light when Yan Kongyue handed him the coin.
In fact, when we were surveying the scene today, Yan Kongyue directly summoned Bai Wuchang!
Bai Wuchang, are you alright?
Lin Fang, I can guarantee that one day, you will know just how painful it is to be slapped in the face!
Brother, how about we go see Yan Kongyue tonight? What if we can help?
You can't help; in a battle between humans and ghosts, how much chance do you think you have?
Uh, that's hard to say! Lin Feng didn't even realize that his insistence was starting to waver.
Suddenly, Lin Lie became aware of an issue: it's so late and Banshanyuan is so far away; how is she going to get there?
Brother, why don't we drive her to Banshanyuan?
I agree!
