"Don't worry." Lu Qiu listened to the other person's earnest tone and felt somewhat helpless. "I know what's important. It won't happen."

Xia Wange looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Lu Qiu had no choice, after all, he had a criminal record. After thinking for a moment, he held his breath and pricked his index finger with something, squeezing out two drops of blood, and put them on one eye of the white jade fox. Immediately, something magical happened. The blood did not flow down the smooth jade surface, but stayed firmly on it.

Before Lu Qiu could observe carefully, Xia Wange swiftly sealed the white jade fox with two talismans.

Then she looked at Lu Qiu, and only after all the bad luck had truly left her this time did Xia Wange breathe a sigh of relief. She patted Lu Qiu on the shoulder and said, "Old Lu, you did a great job this time. Keep it up!"

After encouraging him, Xia Wange immediately placed the jade fox in the very center of the bridge.

"Mission accomplished." Xia Wange clapped her hands.

"Wow, this is a technique to seal one's qi. This is the first time I've ever seen someone with such skillful control over qi."

"No wonder! No wonder the nobleman's initial signs of defeat were stopped. It turns out that Master Xia used his masterful Qi transformation technique to guide the Qi to the person whose luck had been stolen. This not only prevented the nobleman's aura from self-punishing, but also ensured the stability of the bridge. Ingenious! Ingenious!"

"I don't know if it was because the nobleman's blood was too powerful or because this jade fox had already become sentient, but when the nobleman dotted its eyes, I saw that it almost broke free of its cage."

"They should all have them."

Amidst the continuous praise from the crowd, the person in charge said timidly, "Master, is this thing only meant to be placed here? Could I put it in a stainless steel box and then hoist it up or place it under the bridge? Leaving it here directly with all the cars coming and going is not safe."

"Sure, but I have to put it in myself. I don't know..."

"Master, please wait a moment, I'll call someone to come and get it done right away, it'll take at most an hour," the person in charge hurriedly said. "An hour is fine, Master, please wait a moment."

Xia Wange nodded.

The rest of the tasks were not particularly valuable. It was simply that Xia Wange placed the jade fox paperweight in an iron box and watched it being hung up. There was nothing technically demanding involved, so Xia Wange told everyone to disperse and that she would just keep an eye on things from there.

Many of the masters were getting old and their spirits were not up to par. They wanted to see more of the techniques, but they really couldn't stay up all night. So they said goodbye to Xia Wange in twos and threes, leaving at most one disciple behind before leaving. Only a few masters who were still in their prime were waiting on the bridge, wanting to see things through to the end and learn more.

Du Yun was pulled by his friend, the person in charge, to help send people away. Although these masters were not as powerful as Xia Wange, they were all capable people, and they naturally couldn't afford to offend them.

Xia Wange was also a little bored, so she decided to go over to Lu Qiu and praise him for not bringing any bad luck to her even though he had pricked his finger earlier. She hoped that he would continue to work hard and stay true to himself in the future.

Just as she was pondering what kind of nice words to say to lay the groundwork for doing even more unethical things in the future, Sister Dou walked over to Xia Wange and said, "Master Xia, when I was casting the yin spell just now, my spirit also observed the area around Master Li who was attracted. My spirit told me that the situation of this bridge having problems at unpredictable times may be due to some kind of resentful spirit or extremely yin thing being triggered at an uncertain time."

Xia Wange looked at her, frowned slightly, and repeated, "Triggered at an uncertain time?"

Sister Dou nodded. "My Xian'er said that in the past, when they sometimes set up stages for opera performances, there would be people collecting money. These people would wear bells on their feet or hands, which would make a jingling sound when they moved. Although the sound wasn't loud, it served as a reminder. So my Xian'er said that when the bridge was being repaired and the river was being widened, they probably dug out these bells and they got stuck in the silt. Sometimes when the tide comes in, the current makes the bells ring."

"Generally, these kinds of things are about having money to support someone financially and having people support someone without money. Nowadays, people don't carry much money on them, and they don't have anything valuable on them. Even if they do carry money, it's not in the form of copper coins or silver, so they get pulled into supporting someone else's business."

Xia Wange suddenly realized, "So there's such a thing. This is something I'm not familiar with."

Sister Dou hurriedly said, "My Xian'er said that not all opera stages follow this rule. Some directly ask for money by banging gongs and drums. She had seen such opera stages before and that's why she told me this. Moreover, when we went to call Master Li just now, my Xian'er looked around and there was indeed no one collecting money, so she thought it was possible."

"Even if it's not some kind of bell, it must be something that can ring. Only when it rings will something bad happen. Master Xia, you are very capable. Once you have a direction, you will definitely be able to find it in some time. Such a powerful Yin-evil object is only safe in your hands. I didn't say anything earlier because there were too many people around."

Xia Wange nodded, her expression thoughtful.

Indeed, something that can affect people with a single sound is extremely powerful. It would be inappropriate for others to know about it. Moreover, she happens to need this kind of thing to restrain the purple aura on Lu Qiu's body. Right now, she is just using this jade fox to gradually distribute it away. She doesn't know how many people she has to distribute it to before Lu Qiu's leg can recover to the knee. At this rate, with the probability of it taking a single sound to work, it will really take forever.

After Sister Dou finished speaking, she left, not delaying Xia Wange's thoughts.

She didn't try to hide her words from Lu Qiu, so he heard her clearly. Seeing that no one was around, he asked, "When are you going to set off to look for them?"

After saying that, he quickly added, "Remember to call me if you're going to look for it. You said I'm lucky, so I should be able to find it quickly."

Xia Wange's eyes flickered slightly. She pursed her lips, looked at Lu Qiu, stared directly into his eyes, and lowered her voice, saying, "Who said I was looking for someone? Isn't it better to stay as it is? If this matter isn't resolved, the people who are attracted will keep appearing, and your excess purple energy will keep filling their needs. This is good for you. And it doesn't harm anyone else. Isn't it better to maintain the status quo?"
