Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

"Young master, do you have any of those items that can protect people from harm?"

Hearing the aunt's question, Yang Ning nodded and replied, "Of course."

He casually took out two small red strings, tied them into a peace knot, thought for a moment, and said to the aunt, "Could you please give me the birth dates and times of your two children?"

"Oh, oh! That's right!"

The auntie hurriedly said, "Look at my memory! I prepared everything but forgot to take it out. Without this, young master, you probably won't be able to do it!"

As she spoke, the aunt handed Yang Ning two cards wrapped in red paper.

Yang Ning unfolded the red paper, took out a brush, and wanted to write something on the card.

But when the brush touched the card, Yang Ning realized that the brush was not inked at all.

At this moment, the aunt kindly reminded him, "Young man, it seems your pen is out of ink?"

Yang Ning said without batting an eye, "No, you're mistaken."

With a slight flick of his wrist, he used the seemingly untouched brush to write a bold "安" (peace) character on each of the two cards, and then added a dot of ink to the end of each of the two peace knots.

After doing all this, Yang Ning handed everything to the aunt and said, "The two children can carry the peace knot with them at all times."

Upon seeing the lucky rope in Yang Ning's hand, the aunt's eyes lit up immediately. "Wow! This little red rope looks so exquisite, much prettier than the ones at Tianma Temple!"

"Young man, how much is it?"

"Five hundred a pair."

The aunt's expression immediately hardened. "So cheap? Young master, I want the kind that's been blessed, not this ordinary stuff."

"This stuff doesn't work!"

Yang Ning responded, "We don't have the concept of 'consecration' here. The safety rope has a fixed price for everyone."

The aunt looked at Yang Ning with disbelief, staring at him for a long time.

Yang Ning: "???"

The woman asked, "Young man, you're not... a con artist, are you?"

For women of this age, once such a topic is brought up, the direction in which things develop becomes difficult to control.

Just as Yang Ning was signaling Tongtong to prepare to let them leave, the aunt herself said with some doubt, "Okay, okay, five hundred isn't much anyway, okay."

"Then let's leave it at that, young master."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and transferred money to Yang Ning.

The money was transferred, and the aunt didn't linger; she got up and left.

After the aunt left, Lu Yang, who had witnessed the whole thing, came back.

He knelt respectfully before Yang Ning's desk and said, "Um, young master, about those five hundred for a pair of peace knots, could you please..."

At this point, Lu Yang blushed slightly, but he still acted as if he was ready to go all out, saying, "Please give me 100,000 yuan."

Yang Ning: "..."

The little devils: "..."

The Earth God who was licking the lid of the ice cream box suddenly fell to the ground.

The Lingwa shop suddenly fell silent.

Only a gentle breeze was blowing.

A few seconds later, Yang Ning looked at Lu Yang, who had bright eyes and sharp eyebrows, and asked, "What did you just say?"

Lu Yang coughed twice, looking slightly embarrassed, and said, "I mean, those peace knots that cost five hundred a pair—"

"Who told you my peace knots cost 500 a pair?"

Yang Ning looked at him with disbelief: "You've even learned to set your own prices? How about I let you open this shop?"

Lu Yang turned around in surprise. The aunt had just left, and her figure hadn't even disappeared from outside the shop yet.

He pointed at the woman and was about to speak when Yang Ning spoke first: "The safety ropes I mentioned here are all at a fixed price for everyone who comes to buy them. There's no question of them being expensive or cheap."

"Instead of everyone paying the same price."

Hearing Yang Ning's words, Lu Yang suddenly felt a little confused. Wasn't this just raising the price on the spot?

It turns out that the rumored owner of the Spirit Child Shop, who supposedly possesses mysterious abilities, is actually a greedy person?

If that's the case, hehe.

Since money could solve the problem, Lu Yang was no longer embarrassed or ashamed. He maintained his respectful demeanor and asked, "Then, little master, how much would it cost if I were to purchase this red string?"

Yang Ning, with droopy eyelids, said, "Three million three hundred thousand, one."

Lu Yang: "???"

He was getting a little angry. "Young master, that's not fair!"

"That auntie only needed 500 yuan for the same thing? And it was a pair, which means it only cost 250 yuan? While I need 3.3 million?!"

Yang Ning said listlessly, "The two peace knots that the auntie asked for will never be used in her lifetime."

"To her, it was just an ornament."

"But you're different. Tell me, how much do you think your life is worth? Three million three hundred thousand, is that much?"

Yang Ning's words surprised Lu Yang on the spot. At first glance, it seemed to make some sense.

As he hesitated, Lu Yang's phone rang.

Upon seeing the number, Lu Yang immediately apologized to Yang Ning, got up, and walked to the door to answer the phone.

"Feed? Aunt Liang, please tell me!"

Liang Yan sounded nervous on the other end of the phone, "Lu Yang, where are you?"

"I'm in Zhongzhou, I haven't left yet. Aunt Liang, what's wrong? Why do you sound so strange? You've kept me waiting until dawn today..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking where you are!"

"I'm at a Lingwa shop on Yundu Road!"

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he held his breath and waited for the response on the other end of the phone.

But there was no response on the other end of the phone.

Lu Yang could only hear the breathing on the other end of the phone gradually becoming heavier.

At the same time, there was a chattering sound from his teeth.

After waiting a while, seeing that the other side still didn't speak, Lu Yang took the initiative to ask, "Aunt Liang, you didn't expect me to be here?"

After a very heavy sigh, the voice on the other end of the phone continued: "Lu Yang, when you invite a spirit child, make sure you do it properly. You must follow the rules of that little shop owner, understand?"

"Of course!"

Lu Yang asked curiously, "But Aunt Liang, how did you know the owner of this Spirit Child Shop is a small business owner? Have you been here before?"

"I absolutely didn't—no, um, um, Lu Yang, if there's nothing else, could you... could you hang up now?"

"Wait a minute! Aunt Liang, I have one last question!"

"Ask, ask..."

At this moment, Lu Yang lowered his voice and asked softly, "Is this small shop owner's 'peace knot' worth 3.3 million each?"

"..."

"Aunt Liang?"

"Is he willing to sell to you?"

"I'm willing, but it's a bit like I'm asking for too much. Others bought one for 250, but I have to pay over 3 million. Is that fair?"

"Lu Yang, tell me the truth, have you betrayed the academy?"

"No! Absolutely not! I just got a lucky charm first, and then suddenly remembered that I might want to get something for protection too. But that lucky charm was quite expensive, six million six hundred thousand!"

Lu Yang heard a long sigh of relief from the other end of the phone.

Then he heard a voice that was extremely serious and solemn: "Lu Yang, I am known as the master of heavenly secrets, but as you know, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"Leaking it will shorten your lifespan."

"I can only tell you about the greatest opportunity of your life..."

"Right in front of you."
