The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 301: Chapter 145: This Time It’s a Swindler (Part 18)_3

He was not sure whether he was trying to persuade Su Wenbo or comforting himself.

Su Wenbo was so anxious that he felt like his heart was about to catch fire. Seeing the Junior Master Uncle’s carefree demeanor, he was both heartbroken and guilty.

Still, he finally calmed down and stopped panicking.

At least on the surface, he didn’t show any sign of distress but desperately prayed in his heart: He Tiantian, Missy, please, come home quickly!

As soon as the He Qingfeng’s family booked their tickets to return home, Su Wenbo was the first to know.

He hurriedly bought a ticket and, with a combination of begging and cajoling, brought the Junior Master Uncle with him.

Once they arrived at the County, even with only one night left, Su Wenbo was no longer frantic.

However, feeling the surge of yin energy under the night sky, Su Wenbo’s first thought was unexpectedly ”Guiyuan Temple.”

Junior Master Uncle: ...Sigh, this kid, he’s almost obsessed.

Well, whatever it is, it’s the child’s intention.

”Junior Master Uncle, let’s go out and take a look!”

When Su Wenbo mentioned ”Guiyuan Temple,” and the Junior Master Uncle merely chuckled, Su Wenbo knew he didn’t take it seriously.

After thinking it over, Su Wenbo still continued to coax his idol, ”Even if it’s not that there’s something wrong with Guiyuan Temple, the sudden appearance of so many ghosts definitely indicates a problem—”

”Alright, let’s go take a look!”

The Junior Master Uncle was mortally wounded and his life was counting down. He already had a somewhat transcendent and unconventional nature, and it became even more easy-going, as if returning to his origin.

Wait, Origin?

Guiyuan Temple?!

In Taoism, ”Guiyuan” is definitely not an arbitrary term; it is a concept of Taoist thought, and also an alias for the Tao itself.

How could a humble Taoist Temple dare to be named with the words ”Guiyuan”? Could it be that this Guiyuan Temple really has something extraordinary?

Suddenly, the Junior Master Uncle also became somewhat interested.

He was no longer being passively compliant with Su Wenbo, instead, he took the initiative, stepping out of the guest room and followed the floating ghosts all the way to Nanshan Guiyuan Temple.

”Eh? Junior Master Uncle, these ghosts are quite strange, they, they keep following us without attacking, just with us—”

Quickly passing through the mountain road, he felt bursts of yin energy fluctuations.

Su Wenbo did not have the Yin Yang Eye, but his six senses were keen, allowing him to clearly capture the energy fluctuations of yin energy and Evil Qi.

He could also distinguish whether these energy fluctuations were benign or malicious.

For instance, the ghostly energies near Guiyuan Temple seemed to just lazily float in the air, neither fearing nor flattering towards people of the Mystical Sect like Su Wenbo and the Junior Master Uncle.

Were they coldly observing or closely monitoring?!

Mysterious, truly mysterious.

The Junior Master Uncle opened his Heavenly Eye with magic, so he saw the various sizes of energy clusters more clearly than Su Wenbo.

Some of these energy clusters had already transformed into human shapes, and it seemed they all had cultivation.

The highest among them appeared to be an old ghost that had lived for three or four hundred years, with cultivation reaching the level of a Ghost General.

If such a ghost tried to wreak havoc in the human world, it would definitely cause significant harm to ordinary people.

However, the Junior Master Uncle did not find any trace of blood on the soul body of the old ghost, which meant it had not tainted itself with karma.

The Junior Master Uncle was not an extremist Mystical Sect master; he was very tolerant of ghosts, monsters, and demons.

As long as these non-human entities did not harm ordinary people without reason, as long as they did not follow the path of wickedness, the Junior Master Uncle would allow them to walk the human world.

Of course, if possible, he would still prefer to keep these ghostly and demonic beings away from places populated by humans.

Those eligible for Reincarnation should enter it, and those who should cultivate in secluded places should go and cultivate.

The human world should still maintain basic rules and stability.

But, if he encountered benign ghosts, the Junior Master Uncle would not exterminate them without a second thought.

Looking at those floating energy clusters, the Junior Master Uncle noticed that although they were following him and Wenbo like wary dogs, their focus was always on Guiyuan Temple.

Could these spirits really have some connection with Guiyuan Temple?

Guiyuan Temple was an orthodox Taoist Temple; even if it managed to treat humans and ghosts equally, it still should not get too close to ghosts.

Junior Master Uncle was even more curious about Guiyuan Temple.

Being able to command so many ghosts, it should not be just a Swindler. Guiyuan Temple was indeed somewhat interesting.

With curiosity, the Junior Master Uncle arrived at Guiyuan Temple with Su Wenbo.

However, before they could even ask if there was someone inside the temple, they heard an angry female voice: ”You actually killed my Red-clothed!”

”Although it was a ghost, it had formally sworn allegiance to my Heavenly Master Mansion and became a Ghost Cultivator, you, by what right did you kill it?”

”By what right?”

The answering voice was a childlike tone, young and tender, but carried a very authoritative tone: ”On the grounds that it snuck into my Guiyuan Temple and even tried to steal my temple’s extraordinary secret scriptures!”

”What? Does the Heavenly Master Mansion really tolerate thieves and bandits to rob freely on their territory?”

He Tiantian finally got hold of the Talisman Collection and threw out a Qi Needle, directly executing the Red-clothed female ghost, her heart filled with indescribable joy.

Student Xiao D: ...Tiantian’s ”dream really came true”?!

”Ding! Task of executing the Red-clothed female ghost completed, reward 6 points!”
