Chapter 240 Ghost Catcher 3
Next to him was a young man wearing bright clothes and with bright hair.
Seeing Lingyao and Luzhu arriving late, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.
"Miss Fan, you are so arrogant. The three of us have been waiting for you for almost half an hour."
The person who spoke was Lu Jing, a ghost catcher with great talent.
He was the apprentice of the original owner's uncle.
The two have never gotten along well since they were young, and whenever they meet they either argue or quarrel.
But even though the two had quarreled before, Lu Jing actually didn't dislike the original owner, it was just his personality.
But after Lin Shutang came, Lu Jing gradually began to dislike the original owner.
The original owner never understood why, but she was also proud by nature.
If Lu Jing doesn't like her, then she doesn't like Lu Jing either.
Who cares.
This led to increasing conflicts between the two.
According to the original owner's habit, he should have responded angrily at this time.
But Lingyao didn't.
Instead, she looked at the dim light between his brows that was hard to see unless you looked closely, and her voice was faint.
"Lu Jing, you've been really unlucky lately. If you're sick, get treatment instead of going crazy here."
When Lu Jing heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
Because he has been really unlucky recently.
Not only did I not make any progress with my studies, but I couldn't even draw the talismans that I had been able to draw before.
Lu Jing's face was as dark as ink, and he looked at Lingyao with resentment and hatred, "Fan Lingyao, don't go too far, you are just relying on..."
"Okay, you two stop arguing, Pharmacist Xiao is still here."
Lin Shutang interrupted, his voice was light and soft, and it made people feel naturally favorable.
Only then did Lingyao turn her gaze to Lin Shutang.
She has a face that looks innocent and fragile, with willow-shaped brows and tearful eyes, and a slight frown can make people want to protect her.
As she spoke, she looked up at the boy who was standing next to her and had not spoken a word.
The boy was wearing an ivory-white robe, with sparse eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked cold and silent.
A string of Buddhist beads hung on her wrist.
Just standing there gives people a feeling of being as elegant and graceful as a gentleman.
"What do I rely on?"
Lin Shutang paused as he looked at Xiao Hechuan, then looked back in surprise when he heard Lingyao's question.
She just interrupted and mentioned that Xiao Hechuan was still there.
One is to warn Lu Jing, and the other is to remind Fan Lingyao.
She was also sure that the two would stop because of this.
Because generally Fan Lingyao would not conflict with anyone in front of her favorite fiancé.
And there was no way Lu Jing would say anything in front of Xiao Hechuan.
What? Was he talking about the story that he wrote a letter to his fiancée to confess his love for him, but ended up being humiliated and beaten up by her?
But unexpectedly, she was wrong.
Lingyao actually took the initiative to ask.
Although Lin Shutang was surprised and confused, he was not worried about what Lu Jing would say.
Sure enough, Lu Jing just glanced at Lingyao coldly.
He threw down a sentence "You ask even though you already know the answer!" and turned his head to look away.
"It's getting dark, let's set off first."
Xiao Hechuan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
He looked at Lu Chuan, then at Lingyao, and finally just handed the thing in his hand to Lingyao.
This was given to Lingyao by someone from the Xiao family today.
Two pills for increasing soul power, which will be of great benefit to the ghost catcher.
Most likely, the Xiao family knew that Lingyao had been lacking in soul power when drawing talismans recently.
"Don't argue with him, he's just a child."
Seeing these two pills, Lingyao suddenly remembered.
Xiao Hechuan also gave her two pills at the beginning.
However, the original owner felt that the news that he had lost his talent had spread to the outside world.
My self-esteem was hurt, so I didn't eat it after receiving it.
Later, under Lin Shutang's hint and guidance, she gave the two pills to "the ordinary person Lin Shutang" who she thought needed the pills more.
Then, Lin Shutang waved the two pills in front of Xiao Hechuan.
And exaggerate the expression.
Fan Lingyao didn't like the elixir, thinking it wasn't top-notch and was of no use to her, so she just gave it to her.
At that time, almost half of Fan Lingyao's Heavenly Dao value was taken away by Lin Shutang.
So, when Xiao Heyun wanted to find the original owner to question him, even Tiandao was helping Lin Shutang.
They found nothing several times, and the resentment between them continued to deepen.
At this time, Lingyao took the pill.
He opened the bottle cap, poured out the pill, and threw it directly into his mouth.
Lin Shutang, who was looking at the pill, was stunned and felt a sense of absurdity.
How could Fan Lingyao eat the pill directly?!
She had told Fan Lingyao a lot of things overtly and secretly in the past few days, about how many young men from aristocratic families were privately discussing the fact that she had lost her talent.
With Fan Lingyao's pride, she would never take the pill on her own initiative.
After all, which genius needs to take drugs to practice?
However, what frightened her even more was yet to come.
"The number of Heavenly Dao points obtained by the main task target is reduced by 2. The current number is 48."
The expression on Lin Shutang's face was about to collapse. There were two steps for her to obtain the Heavenly Dao value for the mission target.
The first is to help the Lord of Heavenly Dao, so as to gain further trust from the Lord of Heavenly Dao.
Secondly, she must complete the tasks issued by the system at each stage, which is to interrupt the method of the Heavenly Dao Value Master to regain the Heavenly Dao Value.
This mission will give you these two pills.
If one of the tasks fails, not only will you not get the Heavenly Dao value.
They will also have their Heavenly Dao Points deducted for failing to prevent the Heavenly Dao Point Master from regaining Heavenly Dao Points.
Now the two pills were swallowed directly into Lingyao's stomach.
If eyes could emit lasers, Lin Shutang would have stared through Lingyao's belly.
But now she could only smile stiffly.
And I have to pretend to care.
"You're going to choke if you swallow it like that? Do you want some water?"
Xiao Hechuan was also a little surprised and thought Lingyao wouldn't eat it.
After all, the few times before when he mentioned to her about helping her refine some soul-nourishing pills, she had always expressed strong resistance.
She said she didn't need it, and the two of them had a little unpleasantness because of this.
At this moment, looking at Lingyao taking the medicine, a smile of relief appeared in his eyes.
Lu Jing next to him turned his head and looked at Lingyao again.
He muttered softly, "You deserved to choke. It's like you've never taken medicine in your life."
Lu Jing was really right. The original owner had never taken medicine in his life.
Lingyao glanced at Lu Jing and suddenly spoke.
"Do you have any more medicine? Is it enough? If so, give me two boxes."
She looked so calm and righteous that everyone was stunned.
Lin Shutang was the first to react.
"Although medicine nourishes the soul, it's best not to rely on it too much, Yaoyao. Besides, with your talent, you don't need medicine at all."
Two points were deducted for just two pills. Lin Shuyao would never allow Fan Lingyao to get the pills again.
"You thought the soul-nourishing medicine was wholesaled from Yiwu, and you asked for two boxes right away," Lu Jing first retorted to Lingyao, and then said shyly, "I don't have it on me, but I have two pills at home. If you want, I can give them to you, but..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Xiao Hechuan lowered his head and glanced at Lingyao.
His little fiancée is really something. She asked others for medicine in front of him.
Could it be that he forgot that his fiancée is from a family of alchemists?
"Okay, let's get going first."
