The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

My foot, which had been suspended in mid-air, froze in mid-air.

Shamelessly, he shrank back. Although Master Qin was a carefree and cynical old man...

However, he never joked about life and death.

Since he told this girl that I would die if I left here, there must be a reason.

At the same time, I was also a little curious that Guanshanlou had no income.

How did this girl survive?

My eyes darted around, and an idea came to me.

I turned around to face the woman, showing a look of annoyance.

"Whether I leave or stay here, I'll starve to death. Either way, I'm going to die!"

My performance was top-notch.

The woman felt a pang of pity for me when she saw my pitiful appearance.

"Alright, alright, seeing how miserable you are, I'll tell you a secret!"

As she spoke, she walked to my side, leaned forward, and brought her mouth close to my ear.

This is the first time in my life I've had such close contact with someone of the opposite sex.

My face flushed instantly, and my heart pounded.

"Every time the old man goes down the mountain, Qingyang Street is surrounded by those rich and powerful people."

"The old man would only give advice to one person at a time, and I would secretly keep an eye on these powerful figures and get their contact information..."

The woman paused for a moment when she said this.

My eyes lit up with amazement, and I exclaimed, "Wow!"

It turns out this woman was secretly taking on private jobs behind Master Qin's back!

"You're not allowed to tell the old man about this!"

The woman glared at me and threatened.

I looked at the woman and smiled maliciously.

The woman felt uneasy under my gaze and took two steps back.

"I can keep it from Third Master, but you have to involve me!"

I could barely suppress the smile on my face.

But to my surprise, the woman nodded immediately after I said that.

"Okay! One-nine points!"

Upon hearing this, my expression froze.

I thought I had something on the woman, but looking at her reaction now, I feel like I'm the prey.

Moreover, this woman is really ruthless; she can even say something like "one-nine points"!

Without thinking, I simply reached out my hand.

"Fifty-five!"

The woman shook her head.

"At most June 4th!"

I felt a surge of smug satisfaction; my goal had been achieved, and I nodded directly.

"make a deal!"

And so, Ning Jinrou and I reached an agreement happily.

After that, since we had nothing to do, we sat at the long table and chatted aimlessly.

It turns out that Ning Jinrou is only two years older than me.

Unlike me, she is Master Qin's personal apprentice.

In his early years, Master Qin was a genuine Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain. However, due to some events, he was expelled from Longhu Mountain.

Later, by chance, Master Qin met Ning Jinrou, who had lost both her parents, and took her under his wing to practice the orthodox talisman techniques of Longhu Mountain.

But I was different; Third Master Qin never let me call him Master.

In Qin Sanye's words, I am imbued with the aura of the Water Official and am a descendant of the Water Official Emperor. If I were to call him "Master," he would bear a heavy karmic burden and might even have his lifespan shortened.

So, I usually call him Lao Deng, and he calls me a brat.

However, Master Qin did not hold back from me. He said that I was born with a Yin destiny and was suitable for cultivating the Ghost-Slaying Path.

Master Qin didn't teach me many orthodox Taoist arts; instead, he taught me many unorthodox and unorthodox techniques.

As for those orthodox Taoist techniques, I learned them secretly, but since I lack Qi, I cannot truly unleash their power.

Just as Ning Jinrou and I were exchanging ideas and getting to know each other better.

Ning Jinrou's mobile phone suddenly rang.

When you see the caller ID.

Ning Jinrou patted her forehead.

"I almost forgot about this guy."

With that, she took the mobile phone and walked out of the shop.

She returned shortly afterward.

He winked at me.

"There's a job I can do, want it?"

Upon hearing this, I immediately perked up.

Of course I have to do the work!

Putting aside the fact that I could earn money by working, I was confined to the dilapidated Taoist temple for a full eighteen years, focusing only on learning skills and never having a chance to put them into practice.

I'm really itching to try it out and see what my current skill level is.

Ning Jinrou is still wealthy.

I was already driving a Xiali back in 1998.

Although everyone's living standards improved in the late 1990s, only a minority of people could afford to drive a car.

It's clear how much money she made by using Master Qin's name.

I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Actually, money isn't that important to me right now.

Over the years, I have often learned about my father's situation from Third Master Qin.

According to Master Qin, on the second day after I was born, evil spirits coveted the water element energy within me and tried to steal it.

My mother was killed by that evil spirit in order to protect me.

My unfortunate father has not remarried all these years.

Because of what happened to my family back then, the villagers all thought my father was an unlucky person, and they would blame him for any misfortunes that happened.

So my dad hasn't had a good life all these years.

All of this was caused by me, and I actually feel quite bad about it.

I don't know if I can survive this ordeal.

So I was thinking of making as much money as possible for my unfortunate old man while I was still alive.

This way, at least his life will be a little better.

Ning Jinrou drives very fast, which made my first experience as a passenger in a car very bad.

After the car stopped, my stomach started to protest.

While I was vomiting, Ning Jinrou started mocking me again.

This girl is perfectly fine-looking, but she has a terrible mouth.

After I finished vomiting, I realized that I was in front of a very beautiful European-style villa.

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful house.

"Walking?"

Ning Jinrou looked at me and asked.

I nodded.

Along the way, I felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking here and there.

The villa's interior was exceptionally luxurious, dazzling me to the eye.

In contrast, Ning Jinrou seemed quite adept at it and unfazed.

"These rich people like this kind of style."

Ning Jinrou said.

I nodded to myself, thinking to myself, "It's good to be rich..."

Guided by the butler, we arrived at the living room.

A middle-aged man was already waiting in the living room; he was Lu Ze, the victim in this case.

When Lu Ze saw Ning Jinrou, he rushed forward to greet her, saying eagerly, "Mr. Ning, you've finally arrived!"

(As an aside, in our area, everyone in this line of work, regardless of gender, is respectfully addressed as "Mr." – and that's not a typo!)

"Boss Lu, have you been sleeping well these past two days?"

Ning Jinrou smiled and asked.

"I've been much more at ease since I put the talisman you gave me under the bed, as Mr. Ning instructed."

Lu Ze said gratefully.

And at that moment, he noticed me too.

"Who is this?"

He asked curiously.

"Our Master of Guanshanlou."

Ning Jinrou smiled and glanced at me.

Lu Ze frowned slightly.

"This gentleman is really young."

Lu Ze said with a smile, his words were respectful, but I could detect a hint of disdain in his tone.

Perhaps, in Lu Ze's mind, I'm just a follower, without any real ability.

Of course, I wasn't angry.

This is not because I am very generous.

It was because when I saw Lu Ze, I noticed a wisp of black energy coiled above his forehead.

And this black energy cut off his own energy in half!
