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

Lu Qiu touched his nose, pondering how to naturally tell Xia Wange that he could read her mind.

At first, he didn't trust her, but this unexpected ability was a safeguard for him. Now he understands her.

She's basically just a very capable person who likes to joke around, is reliable yet unreliable, likes to be praised for her abilities, and occasionally wants to show off. She's kind but unwilling to admit her pride.

If he doesn't trust people like this, then who can he trust?

But some things, if not said at first, become difficult to bring up later.

At the same time, Xia Wange raised her hand to touch the jade cicada and joked, "When I was removing the soul nails, I was thinking that I should have asked you to go. Having you remove the soul nails could slightly counteract the evil energy, which would be a temporary solution..."

"Then take me with you next time," Lu Qiu said firmly.

Xia Wange was taken aback. She had just said it casually. Putting aside the long distance and whether Lu Qiu could handle it, his company also needed him.

Last time, Lu Qiu took him out all night, and he barely slept. He was still working the next day. If he had to run around for several days, wouldn't he be swamped when he got back?

Seeing Xia Wange hesitate, Lu Qiu said, "I'm serious."

Xia Wange looked at him.

"Xia Wange, although I didn't show it, the feeling of being unable to walk is really painful. I want my legs to get better soon. Maybe you judged beforehand that traveling far wouldn't help my legs, but things are always changing, and there's always a chance. Xia Wange, I don't want to give up this opportunity, so can you take me with you next time?"

Xia Wange scratched her head. "Don't be so serious. It's just a matter of a word. I'll let you know if anything happens in the future. Also, aren't you a little afraid of ghosts?"

"Afraid of ghosts?" Lu Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly. "When?"

"You seemed quite nervous when you encountered the underworld officials last time..."

"It's inevitable to be nervous the first time, especially since they are underworld messengers, and not just any underworld messengers, but Ox-Head and Horse-Face. Any normal person would be worried if they encountered them."

Xia Wange thought for a moment and nodded, "Perfect timing, I brought back some local specialties this time, wait a moment, I'll go get them."

Seeing Xia Wange leave, Lu Qiu took a few deep breaths, mentally preparing himself:

Xia Wange said I am a chosen one, and these things do not harm me, so I have no need to be afraid.

Before he could even begin to hypnotize himself, there was a knock at the door. Lu Qiu sat up straight, only to find that it was Du Yun who entered.

"Qiu, Sister Xia said she brought back some local specialties. I said I wanted to see them too, so she told me to wait here with you." Du Yun ran in and found a chair to sit down.

In the past few days, thanks to his strong information gathering and communication skills, he has learned about almost all of Master Xia Wange's abilities. If he could time travel, he would definitely go back to the moment when he paid Sister Xia for a fortune telling and slap himself twice. He missed such a good opportunity to have his fortune told!

Now he has to do everything he can to curry favor with powerful figures, so that if anything happens to his family in the future, he will have a strong backer.

Lu Qiu pursed her lips, her voice somewhat hard, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Du Yun nodded repeatedly. "I told Sister Xia that I'm already looking for big clients for her. I'll definitely make her reputation known in this area! I also told her that I'm having someone investigate that Master Bai from Beijing, and I guarantee she'll be satisfied. She said I'm one of them, so she let me in."

"Oh," Lu Qiu replied indifferently, without saying anything more.

Not long after, Lu Qiu stared at the jar in front of her for a long time, unconsciously pursing her lips and nervously biting the soft flesh of her lower lip.

He seemed to have guessed something. It has to be said that Xia Wange was prescient enough to know to find someone to accompany him.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Qiu said, "This jar... seems much smaller than the one you described in the backyard. Is it the one in the backyard?"

Xia Wange, who was straightening the jar, was taken aback. She thought to herself that she shouldn't exaggerate too much when telling stories to Lu Qiu in the future, because the other party had too good a memory.

"I changed to a different jar; it's more convenient to carry around."

"Oh..." Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange, his tone seemingly unconvinced.

Xia Wange ground her teeth.

Write it down in your little notebook.

"What? What? What? What are you talking about?" Du Yun stared at the two of them, completely unable to understand what they were saying. "What kind of local specialty is this? Is it something to eat?"

Xia Wange calmly replied, "Oh. It's ashes."

Du Yun: "????! What the heck?? Ashes?! You call this a local specialty?! Maybe my habits are a little different from yours, but we bury these things here."

"Didn't you insist on coming in to see what the local specialties are?" Xia Wange asked calmly. "You also said you'd introduce me to lots of big deals in the future, and that we'd be on the same side. You even said you wanted to come with me to the sites. You're curious about these kinds of things."

When Lu Qiu heard Xia Wange say this, he glanced at Du Yun slightly.

So it was Du Yun who said "we're one of us."

Seeing Du Yun standing there silently, Xia Wange patted the jar. "Want to keep watching?"

"Look!" Du Yun gritted his teeth, "We're already here..."

"Fine, you'll regret it." With that, Xia Wange stretched out her hand towards Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu reluctantly took out a string of jade rings from his pocket and gave her one of the thinnest ones.

"The thicker ones might be a bit wasteful."

Remembering the fear of being controlled by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Lu Qiu took a deep breath and handed her the jade thumb ring.

Taking the ring, Xia Wange casually drew a mute note and stuck it on the door, then drew the curtains to darken the room.

Seeing this setup, Du Yun became a little nervous. "Isn't this just to see ashes? Why all this fuss?"

Xia Wange squatted down and patted the jar. "We were supposed to send him to be reincarnated, but his arm is broken and he needs to recover. There's a nice river near the company, so I'm going to scatter his ashes tonight to prevent any future problems."

"Wait, wait a minute, something doesn't sound right to me." Du Yun reached out, his brain racing. "From what you're saying, could this guy be the owner of the ashes?"

"Yes." Xia Wange nodded. "So you're all sure you want to see him? Boss, especially you, are you sure?"

Lu Qiu nodded. "See you."

"And you?" Xia Wange asked Du Yun.

Du Yun felt a chill run down his spine, but since he was already there, he thought, "I'll just consider it an eye-opening experience."

"Okay." After saying that, Xia Wange took out two talismans and waved them in front of Lu Qiu and Du Yun. Then, with a flick of her finger, the talismans flew up and began to spontaneously combust.

When all the talismans had burned, Lu Qiu and Du Yun both felt that the scene before them was becoming somewhat heavy.

Slowly, the figure of a man appeared above the urn. Although his skin was a bit pale, he was not as scary as one might imagine.

Both of them silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Yun said nonchalantly, "It's alright, it doesn't seem that hard to accept..."

"It's rare to see such a clean scene." After saying that, Xia Wange snapped her fingers. "Zhou Xingwang, show us what you looked like when you died."
