Chapter 25: Cemetery on the Outskirts of Town
Chapter 25
When they were almost done eating, Jian Xi asked, "How did things go?"
"Everything is taken care of. He Bohuai is now on a plane to Country M, Yu Xue is in a vegetative state, and He Junting has also been tortured by that female ghost and won't be leaving the psychiatric hospital anytime soon!" He Qingchen said lightly while drinking his soup.
Jian Xi raised her eyebrows and said in a cold tone, "Karma comes around, what goes around comes around. Their family has taken more than just a few lives!"
It's just pitiful for those girls who were harmed by He Junting. Only one soul remains, the rest were all scattered by that damn warlock. They were already pitiful enough, yet he wouldn't even spare their souls!
Jian Xi thought to herself that if she ever encounters that warlock again, she will definitely make him pay the price!
Just as she was thinking this, He Qingchen's phone rang. He picked it up and glanced at it - it was He Jiaxu.
Before He Qingchen could even speak after answering, the other end yelled loudly, "Cousin, save me! I ran into a ghost!"
He Qingchen held the phone away from his ear, an impatient look on his face. He glanced at Jian Xi, and Jian Xi counted on her fingers and nodded.
"Address."
Half an hour later, a silver Bugatti Veyron pulled up at the outskirts of the city cemetery, and two people got out.
With just a little moonlight, He Jiaxu could see clearly that it was his cousin and his sister!
Though was that a sword his sister had on her back?
"Cousin, I'm over here!" He Jiaxu waved his hand.
He Qingchen and Jian Xi ignored He Jiaxu and headed straight into the cemetery.
As they passed by He Jiaxu, Jian Xi gave him another talisman and said, "Here, take this."
Looking at the talisman in his palm, He Jiaxu seemed to remember something. He hurriedly reached into his pocket, only to touch a handful of paper ashes. He suddenly realized that it was thanks to the talisman Jian Xi had given him last time at the old house that he was safe and sound today, with no mishaps!
She was a Taoist priestess!
He Jiaxu gripped the talisman tightly, swallowed, and hurried to catch up.
He had originally wanted to lead the way for them, but the two people in front seemed like they didn't need his help at all, heading straight for where the incident occurred!
All he could do was follow closely behind.
As soon as Jian Xi got near the cemetery, she sensed a very familiar aura - it was her senior brother Zhang Luoyu's spell formation!
But it was very weak, as if it hadn't been reinforced for a long time.
She looked around, seeming to want to find the reason.
He Qingchen noticed her actions and explained to her, "This area around the suburbs used to be Zhang Luoyu's territory, but later it was taken over by someone else."
Jian Xi understood and complained, "They took over but don't have the ability to manage it properly? Although these ghosts are harmless, isn't it still not good to just let them be!"
The cemetery business isn't something just anyone can do. If you can't subdue them, it can lead to very serious consequences!
She remembered her senior brother telling her that when he first came down the mountain, he made his fortune by running cemetery businesses. And it wasn't just the cemetery business in City B, he had pretty much monopolized all funeral-related businesses. As for how big he had developed now, she didn't really know.
It seems someone must have seen him making money and gotten jealous, wanting a piece of the pie too?
"Your senior brother is now the big boss of the national funeral industry. In recent years he has also started expanding into other industries." He Qingchen said.
Jian Xi's eyes lit up. "Senior brother is so amazing. It hasn't even been seven years since he came down the mountain, and he has all the funeral services of cities across the country?"
He Qingchen's footsteps stuttered almost imperceptibly. "Four years ago, the He family's market value was 30 billion. Now it's 120 billion!"
Jian Xi stopped and laughed out loud, but not because of He Qingchen's words. She saw ahead a few ghosts playing tricks on two boys and two girls, spinning them around until they threw up!
"Brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly!" Jian Xi felt like He Qingchen had said something just now.
He Qingchen clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Nothing."
"Then I'll go talk to 'them' first. The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can go home." Jian Xi headed towards the few with a talisman pinched between her fingers.
He Jiaxu wanted to go along too, but was stopped by a look from He Qingchen. He felt like his cousin seemed a bit... unhappy?
Jian Xi flashed over to the few mischievous little ghosts.
That's right, little ghosts. The older ones would either be square dancing or playing mahjong, only these little ones still liked to play around!
There were five in total. Jian Xi rewarded each with a ghost-sealing talisman!
Then the little ghosts stood at attention in a line, looking at Jian Xi in confusion.
Because they had suddenly stopped, the members of the paranormal club, carried by momentum, spun around several more times before stopping.
When they stopped, they were all bent over vomiting nonstop, just short of spewing out bile!
Jian Xi went up and gave each a knock on the head. Putting on a stern little face, she said, "What are you all doing! How can you act like this, don't you know it's very rude!"
"Can't you see you made the sisters vomit?"
"Hurry up and apologize!"
Having been here spinning for nearly two hours, the paranormal club members were now covered in heavy yin energy, so they could also see all the ghosts here!
But they were still too busy vomiting to take note of their surroundings, only lying on the ground trying to resist the vertigo.
Still, when they heard Jian Xi's voice, they were curious enough to open their eyes.
The next second, four shrieks echoed throughout the entire cemetery!
"Ahhh ghost!"
"There are ghosts, ghosts, help!"
Their shouts were loud enough to scatter a nearby mahjong table.
A pale-faced old lady said impatiently, "What's with the racket, won't even let people play mahjong in peace. Kids these days are so easily startled, no composure at all!"
"That's right, no composure whatsoever!" the scrawny old man with bulging eyes sitting next to the old lady echoed.
At this, the paranormal club members shut up, but their eyes were still wide open in shock and fear.
Jian Xi laughed. These people were really cute. Don't they know to close their eyes when afraid? Staring with eyes so wide open will only make them more frightened!
"Alright, grandpa and grandma, please continue. I'll take these guys away so we don't disturb your fun!" Jian Xi said with a smile.
Looking down at the little ghosts, they quickly added an apology.
The people on the ground from the paranormal club got up, and Qin Feng forcefully suppressed his fear to bow and apologize to the old man and old lady as well as the little ghosts before them. He admitted they shouldn't have shown disrespect to the ghosts and spirits, and were truly sorry for the offense. He promised that in a few days they would come back and burn some paper money as compensation.
