Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

After a moment, Lu Qiu maneuvered his wheelchair over, raised his hand and lightly tapped the other person's table with his fingertip, his tone containing a pleasure that even he himself could hardly perceive, "You're late again."

Xia Wange looked up from the screen at Lu Qiu and smiled, "Boss, you have no idea how tired I've been these past two days."

Lu Qiu glanced at her up and down, and seeing that she wasn't injured, he felt relieved. He slightly raised his chin and pointed towards the office, "Shall we go in and talk?"

"Let's go." Xia Wange stood up and followed Lu Qiu into the office.

In fact, Xia Wange had been holding back for a long time, but she couldn't find anyone to tell her about her glorious deeds. She was so handsome and powerful, and she even used her merits to show off. If no one else knew, wouldn't all her pretense have been for nothing?

In front of others, she still had to force herself to maintain the aloof and dignified image of a master and not praise herself too much. But it was different with Lu Qiu. Lu Qiu was a chosen one, a person with an extremely noble destiny. She had to praise Lu Qiu to gain his recognition so that they could cooperate more closely.

Inside the office, Lu Qiu leaned against the boss's chair, his hands clasped on his lap, quietly watching Xia Wange passionately and animatedly recount what had happened to her over there.

"You have no idea, even when I was still far away from that place, I had a premonition that something was wrong. I did some calculations and sure enough, I found that there was a gathering of malevolent energy there, billowing straight into the sky. When I got closer, whoosh, a cold wind suddenly blew around us, and the temperature dropped several degrees. Cao Niannian and I both felt like we had fallen into ice water. I told Cao Niannian, 'Don't be afraid, as long as you are upright, you don't need to be afraid of these things...'"

Lu Qiu blinked. "Didn't you say before that the place you went to was almost ten degrees hotter than here, and you were almost dying of heat?"

Xia Wange was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, she said, "That place is hot, but the temperature in the small courtyard I'm near is lower."

"Mm." Lu Qiu nodded.

"Then I lifted Cao Niannian into the air, bracing myself against the wall with one hand, and easily vaulted over the high wall. When I saw what was inside, Cao Niannian was stunned. There were hundreds of urns filled with ashes, each as thick as my waist. They were all tied together with red thread. When I looked, I realized it was an ancient formation that could divide into parts and then reunite! At that moment, my heart sank. This is bad, this is going to be very difficult..."

"Wait, you said it was a small courtyard, how can it hold so many things?"

Xia Wange, who was talking happily, paused and turned around, "Did I just mention the small courtyard?"

"Yes, I told you." Lu Qiu nodded.

"That's right." Xia Wange clapped her hands. "It's because the courtyard isn't big that so many jars are so shocking and terrifying. But that's not the point. The point is that the most ferocious thing in the middle is a jar containing a dead infant, and it's even nailed to the ground with soul nails! As soon as I saw this scene, I knew a fierce battle was about to take place."

"Just then, a sudden gust of wind arose outside the courtyard, and a celestial maiden who could summon spirits came knocking and banging her way in from outside the door. I knew something was wrong, so I quickly gathered the jade I always carried and forcibly broke the formation. The deity possessing the celestial maiden was so impressed by my abilities that he prostrated himself in admiration, saying, 'This boy is incredibly powerful; I cannot handle him,' before leaving. The celestial maiden was also impressed by my methods and was too frightened to utter a single word..."

"...After converting Fairy Ma, I went to deal with that ghost infant. You don't know, that ghost infant was imbued with obsession and resentment, its malevolent aura was extremely heavy. Even in broad daylight, that small patch of sky was stained black. I used golden light to protect myself and fought against that soul nail for 81 minutes before I could remove it. It then took another 49 minutes to convert the ghost infant. Instantly, its golden light intensified, and it became a bright pearl in the darkness..."

"Didn't you say it was during the day?" Lu Qiu shifted her leaning back, her tone serious. "I remember when I contacted you, it was only a little after ten in the morning."

"Lu Qiu." Xia Wange looked at him solemnly, "I'm about to reach the climax of my story. If you interrupt me again, I'm going to interrupt you."

"Okay, please continue."

Xia Wange took a deep breath. "My golden light of merit assimilated all the evil energy in the ghost infant's body. The baby's expression changed from ferocious to innocent. Seeing how powerful I am, the male ghost's mother also realized her mistake after a few words from me and finally surrendered. Alas, I am such a virtuous and powerful master of the Xuanmen sect, capable of enlightening others who are obsessed."

Xia Wange looked at Lu Qiu with an unfathomable gaze. Lu Qiu looked up and met her eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Lu Qiu, do you know what a person with high emotional intelligence should be doing now?" Xia Wange tapped the table lightly.

Lu Qiufu suddenly realized something and clapped his hands, "Amazing! Amazing! You are truly a reincarnation of a deity, with boundless magical power."

Xia Wange waved her hands repeatedly, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I was just using a little magic."

Lu Qiu's smile faded. "Master, are you finished?"

"That's all."

Lu Qiu sat up straight, looking directly at Xia Wange, his tone serious and earnest, "You said you used golden light to protect yourself, and then you talked about merit. Did you use your merit this time? Isn't your merit meant to prolong your life?"

Xia Wange scratched her head and explained, "You don't know, the situation was urgent at the time, and I temporarily wore a piece of jade. I had already used it all up, and at the last moment, I had to use merit... Hmm? How did you know that my merit was used to prolong my life?"

Lu Qiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she guiltily looked away. After thinking for a moment, she took out the jade cicada she had carved when she was a child. "I'll give this to you. You always talk about jade and qi. This is something I carved when I was a child when I had nothing to do. It's been with me the longest, so it should be able to help you in an emergency. You should use the jade rings and jade bracelets you get from me more often."

"For me?" Xia Wange looked at the jade cicada in Lu Qiu's hand, somewhat flattered.

If we compare the purple aura to air conditioning, then the rings and other items she takes from Lu Qiu each time are like putting them in a freezer to freeze them before using them. But this jade cicada is like an ice cube!

The solidified purple mist above flowed over the cicada like water droplets.

If she had possessed this before, let alone purifying the ghost infant, she could have cleansed all the evil spirits within a one-kilometer radius. The jade stone carved by the chosen one in his childhood... Xia Wange could only shout in her heart:

Master! I'm sure I'll live past thirty!

"Put it on." Lu Qiu moved closer to Xia Wange, raised his hand and placed the jade cicada around her neck, then looked away and said, "You don't need to thank me. After all, we're in a cooperative relationship. You used your skills to heal my leg, so I should show my sincerity, shouldn't I?"

Seeing Xia Wange looking down at the jade cicada with obvious affection, Lu Qiu felt a warm and comforting emotion spreading through his heart, and a sense of joy coursing through his body. He couldn't suppress the emotion that was showing on his face.
