This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Outside the window.

The gray fog disperses, the dark clouds disappear, and the storm ceases.

Night returns.

The moonlight is once again scattered.

Xu Yang felt his body regaining control and looked at Lao Wang, unable to help himself, “Master Qin… you… what are you really?”

“Master Qin?”

“What Master Qin?”

Lao Wang’s yellow teeth grinned, instantly breaking the illusion of his former, worldly-wise demeanor and appearing somewhat lewd.

He cursed and kicked the glass shards on the ground, muttering, “Damn, so many glass shards… the school is going to deduct my salary again as the security captain… Alright Xu Yang, I’ve dealt with that monster. I am going to take these students away first.”

He led the five students out of the classroom and left the building.

The events of the day frightened the students, so they followed Lao Wang closely, not daring to leave.

Lao Wang shook his head and sighed, “Forget it, forget it. It’s better for you to forget about these things.”

“Look into my eyes!”

With a soft shout.

A trace of black mist flashed in Lao Wang’s eyes.

The five students fell to the ground in unison and into a state of unconsciousness.

“Get up!”

Lao Wang shouted, waking the five students from the ground, cursing, “Fucking hell, which class are you students from? Why didn’t you go back to the dormitory in the middle of the night and came here instead?”

The students ran off with no memory of what had just happened.

Inside the building.

Xu Yang didn’t leave the classroom on the third floor.

All the talismans on the windows were shattered, even the two “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” left by the old man were nearly burned out when the gray hand attacked, but two remained on the wall.

Xu Yang removed these two “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” and put them in his storage space.

“What on earth is going on?”

“What is the origin of that gray monster?”

“And what’s the deal with that gray hand?”

At this moment, Xu Yang’s mind was full of doubts.

Xu Yang had already begun learning how to draw “Daoist talismans”, and he knew the grade of the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” was enough to deal with red-level Yin spirits and malevolent beings!

With the Supreme Purification Seal’s support on the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman”, even some powerful “red-level” spirits could be suppressed and slain, but they were easily destroyed by the gray hand!

Even Liu Shishi’s transformation was effortlessly defeated!

How terrifying is that gray hand?

Ghost King?

Or perhaps… an even more potent Yin deity?

But such a level of Yin deity, either the spiritual creatures of the Underworld Palace or the legally sanctioned human deities of heaven and earth, why would they commit such cruel acts against living creatures?

Xu Yang thought again about Master Qin…

Oh, no.

Eider Wang!

What kind of background does this old man have?

Earlier, when Xu Yang chased the monster around the classroom, the creature ran frantically in every direction but never touched the students protected by Elder Wang.

Xu Yang thought it was a coincidence.

However, given Elder Wang’s scene just now when he shouted and repelled the gray hand, it’s enough to prove that it’s no coincidence!

“Why aren’t you dead yet?”

“What does it mean when that gray hand said this sentence after it dissipated?”

Xu Yang couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped considering it.

He stepped out of the classroom and went to the piano room on the fourth floor, lifted the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” from the door and said, “Pang Juan, I’ve eliminated that monster. However, as you can see, there are more formidable beings behind it, at least not something 1 can handle now.”

“I’ve smashed the door of the piano room. Choose your own path.”

Xu Yang walked out of the building and went to the security room.

In the security room, Lao Wang was cracking sunflower seeds and holding a cell phone, apparently on a call with a female anchor. Seeing Xu Yang coming in, he quickly hung up and smiled, “Xiao Xu, are you leaving?”

“Elder Wang, don’t you want to say something?”

Xu Yang asked.

Elder Wang waved his hand and said, “Everybody in this world has some secrets… Don’t ask too much about things you shouldn’t know.”

He put down his phone, lit a Chinese cigarette, took a deep puff, and continued, “I’ll report this incident at the Institute of Technology to the Spirits Management Bureau and let their people handle it… Remember, practice diligently.”

“The world is not in peace now, and all sorts of demons and ghosts are popping up.”

“With your original aptitude, you wouldn’t be able to practice at all, but now you’ve entered the Daoist path and can even master the Fire Method at the Qi Refining level five… There must be some opportunities and luck… But it also means that you’re more likely to be involved in some turmoil!”

Xu Yang called a rideshare.

Soon.

The car arrived.

Before getting into the car, Lao Wang said, “The Lu Shan Sect side certainly won’t give up the Supreme Purification Seal. After all, only when the two seals are combined can the real Heavenly Master’s seal be formed, comparable to Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal, and become the treasure of the Daoist sect.”

“But don’t worry, your grandpa left some arrangements and backup plans before he died. Since you’re on the Daoist path now, I’ll activate those backup plans, which can block Lu Shan Sect people for a year.”

“One year, huh?”

Xu Yang nodded and said, “One year is enough… When the time comes, I will personally take back what my grandpa lost from the Lu Shan Sect… By the way, Master Qin, remember to take me to the Ghost Market on the first day of next month.”

When Xu Yang got into the car and disappeared from view,

Lao Wang finally reacted and wondered, “Why did this kid call me Master Qin…”

“Wait…”

At 4 am,

Xu Yang returned to the funeral shop.

As soon as he entered the door…

Swipe!

Liu Shishi, with a single ponytail, wearing ultra-short denim shorts and black stockings, appeared in front of Xu Yang. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern as she asked, “Xu Yang, are you alright?”

“I’m not hurt.”

Xu Yang’s nose tingled.

Throughout his life, few had ever cared about him apart from his grandpa. However, he wasn’t good at expressing his feelings and chuckled, “Shishi, you care about me so much… Could it be that you’ve fallen in love with me?”

Liu Shishi glanced at Xu Yang with a “caring for the mentally challenged” expression and uttered a single sentence,

“Different paths for humans and ghosts!”

She turned and floated towards the upstairs.

Xu Yang closed the door and went up as well.

“Xu Yang, your cultivation is too weak, so don’t run around recklessly!”

Liu Shishi was very serious, “Don’t go to Silver City Institute of Technology again… there’s a big secret hidden there, perhaps something similar to a Ghost Realm.”

Xu Yang naturally understood the priorities and nodded immediately.

Then, he heard Liu Shishi say,

“Keep your distance from Elder Wang.”

Xu Yang blinked, puzzled, “What’s going on? Elder Wang is my grandpa’s good friend…Is there something wrong with him too?”

Liu Shishi emphasized every word, “He….is not human!”
