Chapter 21

Xingzhou City is a strange place to me. Coming here, I have no one to rely on. Only when I met Ye Tingting did she give me the long-missed care, and Huang Yiyi made me feel the taste of being protected.

No matter whether Huang Yiyi is grateful to me or for some other reason, the protection and care at this moment moved me.

"How are you different?" Huang Yiyi wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, "Do you think I should be one of those pampered, spoiled people who have always been fed and taken care of?"

I looked at her awkwardly, my eyes still expressing that I agreed with her statement.

Isn't it said that in the city, boys are raised in poverty and girls are raised in wealth?

Huang Yiyi sighed, "Actually, my grandfather was very strict with us from a young age. Whether male or female, we had to develop the habit of being independent. Every winter and summer vacation, we would go to our hometown to live on our own. Whether it was planting vegetables, fishing, or doing laundry and cooking, we had to be self-sufficient."

"So, the descendants of the Huang family can do anything, and we are not the kind of people others see as flowers in a vase."

After hearing Huang Yiyi's words, I gained a bit more admiration and respect for Huang Baiwan.

"By the way, Mr. Li, what are your plans next?" Huang Yiyi suddenly asked me.

I pondered for a moment and replied, "I want to open a fortune-telling and feng shui shop."

"Ah!" Huang Yiyi was taken aback, then laughed, "With your skills, do you really need to open a shop? You are the most capable person I have ever met; you don't need to open a shop yourself!"

I looked at Huang Yiyi and asked, "If I say this is my first time doing this, do you believe me?"

Huang Yiyi widened her eyes and shook her head, "I don't believe it. Your methods are so seasoned; how can this be your first time?"

I smiled bitterly, "It was my grandfather who told me that when doing things, one must remain calm and composed. Once you have decided on something, you must stick to it. So, the calmness I show is all forced."

Huang Yiyi looked at me in disbelief, opened her mouth, and said, "But you don't need to open a shop. I just need to post on my social media, and many people will come to you. You won't lack customers."

I quickly stopped her, "No need! I'm opening the shop for fate."

Huang Yiyi looked at me and said, "You really are a unique master!"

Just as she finished speaking, I saw the car in front of us suddenly stop. I immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

It was too late. I heard a screeching brake, followed by a loud crash. The car had collided.

Huang Yiyi was stunned, her eyes fixed on the scene, completely shocked.

"Are you okay?" I quickly asked her.

She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

We hadn't even gotten out of the car when a man, his face full of panic and tears in his eyes, got out of the car in front.

I looked at Huang Yiyi, and we both got out of the car.

Outside the car, the man hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to, we didn't mean to. My child is sick in the car, and I was rushing to the hospital. He has been vomiting, so I had to stop the car quickly!"

He glanced at Huang Yiyi's expensive car and gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, no matter how much it costs, I will pay for the damages!"

The man was from an ordinary family, driving a Volkswagen Santana, but his sense of responsibility was commendable.

Huang Yiyi immediately said, "Rear-ending the car in front is my responsibility! I didn't keep a safe distance, so I should pay for the damages. Don't worry, I will pay. If your child is sick, take him to the hospital quickly."

"His father, come quickly, the child doesn't look good, come and see the child!" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman carrying a four- or five-year-old child rushed out of the car.

The child was convulsing violently, with vomit in his mouth.

I looked at the child, his eyes tightly closed, his face black, the veins in his neck protruding, and his muscles convulsing violently. It was a terrifying sight.

"Bad, the evil spirit is attacking the child's soul! Quickly, put the child on the ground." I immediately shouted at the middle-aged woman.

She was clearly stunned by my words, her eyes fixed on me. The middle-aged man was also confused by what I said.

I didn't have time to explain, so I urged again, "Quickly, put the child on the ground. If you don't want the child to die, put him on the ground."

Huang Yiyi looked at me, seeing the seriousness on my face, and said to the middle-aged woman, "Sister, quickly put the child on the ground. He is a very capable master who can exorcise evil and heal. Listen to him quickly!"

At this moment, the middle-aged woman was at a loss and looked at her husband standing beside her.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, walked to the woman, and gently laid the convulsing child on the ground.

Seeing this, I immediately bit my middle finger, and when the blood came out, I quickly drew a Five Thunder Seal on the boy's forehead, chanting, "Heaven's path is clear, Earth's path is peaceful, Human's path is tranquil, the three elements are one, blending Heaven and Earth, all gods obey, all generals follow, bravely repelling evil stars!"

After chanting, I drew the Five Thunder Seal, and the boy's convulsions stopped instantly.

I felt a mysterious energy surge from my stomach, as if it was about to burst out of my chest and fly out of my mouth. I didn't know what it was, but I felt extremely tired and exhausted.

"Mr. Li, how are you? What's wrong?" Huang Yiyi looked at me in shock, "Why are you sweating so much? And your lips are pale."

I waved my hand, "I'm fine, maybe it's just a bit hot."

Huang Yiyi quickly came to my side and helped me up. The couple, seeing their child no longer convulsing, quickly rushed to embrace him.

I looked at the man and asked, "The child has violated a taboo, causing the evil spirit to attack his soul, almost taking away his three souls and seven spirits. Has someone in your family died recently?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, three days ago, the child's grandfather was buried! We returned yesterday, and today, the child suddenly became like this!"

I nodded and continued, "When the burial took place, did the child go up the mountain with you?"
