I furrowed my brow and asked him, "What do you mean?"
Wang Chao had a hostile attitude towards me, which I could understand, just as I didn't like him. The more capable he was, the less I liked him.
Wang Chao coldly replied, "What do you mean? You can't even enter this underground area! Inside is the Soul Binding Array; Master Qin is ruthless. The Evil Spirits inside are incredibly powerful, and there's no way to eliminate them all! Just now, the Master almost died down there!"
Upon hearing this, I understood immediately. "Why do we need to kill them? I only want to destroy the Soul Binding Array. As for the spirits inside, we can either guide them to peace or simply ignore them. It's like the strategy of not pursuing a desperate enemy; if you try to kill these vengeful spirits, of course they will fight back with all their might."
"Arrogant! Arrogant!" shouted the old man with a dark face sitting nearby. "With so many spirits, how can you guide them? I've roamed Donghai City for so many years and have never seen such an arrogant young fool like you."
I turned to glance at the old man. His clothes were extraordinarily luxurious, adorned with various expensive jewelry. I sighed inwardly, thinking that while he hadn't seen me, I certainly hadn't heard of such a high-ranking figure like him.
I didn't argue; I was simply too lazy to engage in a debate. Instead, I asked, "The passage below has been cleared, right? Fine, I'll go down."
"Song Fei," Liu Yiyi called out to me. "Song Fei, are you confident?"
I nodded. "Pretty much."
Wang Chao walked over and said, "Liu Yiyi, just let him go down. Since he’s so confident, he must be quite skilled."
Hearing this made me angry; that guy was practically wishing for my demise or waiting to see me make a fool of myself when I escaped in disgrace.
I gestured with my middle finger at Wang Chao and said, "Hey, buddy, seriously, you're quite the frog in the well. In this place? Even if it were my ten-year-old nephew going in there, he'd handle it just fine."
Wang Chao huffed at my comment about him being a frog in a well and retorted, "Go ahead and brag; it’s your death that won’t concern me. Master Qin has already been through it; it's very dangerous inside. Master Qin almost died in there—what about your nephew?"
"Two hundred thousand!" I held up two fingers. "Dare to bet? Two hundred thousand, I'll send my nephew down to resolve the matter. If I win, you give me two hundred thousand; if I lose, not only will I give you two hundred thousand, but I won't see Liu Yiyi again."
Wang Chao, that bastard, always carried a hint of disdain. Upon hearing my last words about not seeing Liu Yiyi again, his eyes lit up. "Whoever defaults is a bastard."
"Alright! Whoever defaults is a bastard!" I rubbed my hands together.
Wang Chao turned to Liu Yiyi. "Yiyi, your friend is quite interesting."
Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at me. "Hurry up, Song Fei, you're really being too much."
I chuckled. "A man must keep his promises, right? I'm calling my nephew now."
I took out my phone and called Chi Xiang, asking him to get Yang Gou Dan to wear a hat and change into some clothes to impersonate my nephew.
Of course, Chi Xiang agreed, but Yang Gou Dan was not on board.
I had no choice but to promise him that if he completed this task, I'd buy him a full set of League of Legends champions and three top-tier runes.
Upon hearing this, Yang Gou Dan immediately agreed.
Before long, Yang Gou Dan appeared with a backpack, a red scarf around his neck, dressed like a first grader, and holding a lollipop as he jumped out of the taxi.
"Hey, big nephew, there's a Soul Binding Array down there; make sure to exorcise the souls inside," I pretended to act nonchalant.
"Understood." Yang Gou Dan licked his lollipop and saluted me with a Young Pioneers gesture before heading down.
Liu Yiyi stood beside me, covering her mouth and laughing uncontrollably.
Wang Chao merely sneered at me and said, "Alright, let me tell you, if something goes wrong, don't blame me, Yiyi. You have to testify that it has nothing to do with us; it was his idea to send his nephew down."
Liu Yiyi nodded without saying a word.
Master Qin was fuming beside us, cursing me as a cold-blooded beast, claiming I deliberately sent the child to his death just to slap him in the face.
I couldn't be bothered with Master Qin. To be honest, if it were me going down there, I would be a bit worried. But with Yang Gou Dan going down, I didn't even need to think about the outcome.
Yang Gou Dan descended in a basket.
About ten minutes later, he had someone pull him back up. With his hands behind his back and a proud expression on his face, he waved at me and said, "Hey, it's done. Don't forget you promised to buy me those Runes and heroes." After that, he hailed a taxi and left.
I reached out to Wang Chao and said, "It's done. If you don't believe me, let Master Qin go down and check."
Wang Chao's eyes widened. After discussing with Master Qin, he went down. Soon enough, Master Qin came back up looking very gloomy. He probably felt embarrassed since he found nothing. He got into his SUV and drove away.
I was afraid Wang Chao would try to back out of our deal, so I stayed close to him.
Wang Chao gritted his teeth but had no choice; after all, Liu Yiyi was right there.
Wang Chao laughed heartily and patted my shoulder. "Well, brother, you truly are impressive. However, I don't have that much cash on me right now. Later tonight, come by my company and I'll have the accountant give it to you."
"No need to go through all that trouble. Sister Liu has a card machine here; we can just swipe it directly," I chuckled.
Liu Yiyi walked over and nodded, saying, "That's true; Sister Liu does indeed have a UnionPay POS machine here."
Wang Chao had no choice but to pay up.
I exchanged a few casual words with Wang Chao before leaving.
At noon, Liu Yiyi, Liu Xin, and I were having tea in the shop. We specifically chose Room 103 to chat, just to let the tea house staff know that it was safe now.
Liu Xin was quite surprised and kept asking about my identity, thinking I was some hidden master. After all, even my nephew was impressive enough to overshadow Master Qin.
Liu Yiyi grabbed Liu Xin's hand and said, "Sister Liu, don't ask him anymore; he's just a fraud. His big nephew is actually a Master from Shaolin Temple, and he's way more powerful than Song Fei."
"Ah?" Liu Xin was taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed. "Song Fei, you're so sly. Wang Chao has already helped dig the pit for free, and you still scammed him out of two hundred thousand."
"He's a wealthy guy; he made a lot from stock trading last year. Taking back a little now isn't a big deal, right? Besides, talismans are so expensive now—fifty thousand each—and they might not even be available. If I don't take this chance to make some money, I won't be able to catch ghosts later," I replied.
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Thanks to you, the tea house is safe and my position is secure. Here, I'll give you two hundred thousand as a reward."
"No need for that, Sister Liu. It's all good; we’re just helping each other out as friends. Talking about money feels so vulgar," I said generously, though inside I felt like I was bleeding. If it weren't for my promise to Liu Yiyi earlier, I would have had two hundred thousand coming in!
After chatting for a while longer, I decided it was time to leave.
Liu Yiyi and Liu Xin continued discussing their upcoming collaboration while I needed to return to the café to persuade Zhang Yuru to leave.
I returned the keys to the Jaguar to Liu Yiyi and then took a taxi back to the café.
As soon as I entered the café, I saw Chi Xiang sitting at the counter with his left eye covered; it was blackened and resembled a panda's eye.
"What happened to you, Chi Xiang? Were you secretly filming girls in short skirts again on campus?" I joked.
"He wasn't filming; he was peeping," Zhang Yuru chimed in as she walked in through the door, holding a bag of medicine in her hand.
Chi Xiang jumped up immediately, "Let me state this once again, I wasn't peeping! I just walked in normally! How was I supposed to know there would be a woman using the restroom in this coffee shop!"
"Don't you know to knock before entering the restroom? Is moral integrity something taught by gym teachers?" Zhang Yuru shot back.
"I... I can't believe it! Song Fei, hurry up and fire this woman right now! Damn it, she saw me enter the restroom and without asking any questions, she punched me right in the eye! A woman like that has no regard for your roommate at all!" Chi Xiang exclaimed loudly.
After hearing this, I couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
"What the hell!" Chi Xiang came over and grabbed my neck, "You're still laughing? How can you still laugh at this?"
I pushed Chi Xiang away and said, "Alright, alright, we're all friends here. It was just a misunderstanding; let's not hold grudges. Besides, Zhang Yuru is quite a beauty, don't you think?"
Zhang Yuru handed over a bag of medicine, "Exactly, here you go. Don't be so angry."
Chi Xiang huffed and refused to take it.
I punched him playfully, "Are you really mad? Come on, you're not that kind of person. Besides, didn't you get to see a beautiful woman in action?"
Chi Xiang muttered, "Don't remind me. Her skirt was too long; I didn't see anything at all. Just got punched for nothing."
"Seriously, what are you two thinking!" Zhang Yuru shouted as she threw the medicine bag at Chi Xiang's head.
The three of us joked around for a while before I continued to persuade Zhang Yuru to leave; this job was completely unsuitable for her.
Zhang Yuru ignored me entirely. Without a job, she'd have to sleep on Main Street if I didn't take her in.
However, I had to admit that beauty always held an advantage! Even though I genuinely felt Zhang Yuru wasn't fit for this job and despite the fact that she had already given Chi Xiang a black eye on her first day, she still ended up staying.
As soon as Chi Xiang's eyes stopped hurting, he began to act like a lovesick fool, circling around Zhang Yuru.
By evening, I said, "Alright, no matter what, being together is fate. Let's go out for a big meal tonight to welcome the beautiful Zhang. Oh, and let's invite Dog Egg too; I made two hundred thousand today, and it's all thanks to him."
Upon hearing about the two hundred thousand, Chi Xiang immediately rushed over to pinch me, demanding that I give him a few thousand for his contribution.
Zhang Yuru also tugged at my arm, insisting that she deserved a share too since she needed to buy various living supplies while she was here.
I was at a loss.
Just as I was about to part with some cash, my phone rang. I picked it up and heard Liu Yiyi's voice. "Song Fei, I'm treating you to dinner tonight. You have to agree; otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
