Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

The next morning, Chi Shuyan vaguely heard chatter outside the door. In fact, the soundproofing in the apartment was good, but the chatter outside was too loud. Chi Shuyan looked at the time and immediately got up.

When she went out, she didn’t see Qi Zhenbai, but she saw a few familiar faces chatting in the living room. Who else could it be but Qi Hao, Wang Xuewen, and Jian Chongying?

Ever since their last trip to the graveyard, the boys were now utterly in awe of Chi Shuyan, especially Qi Hao, who pestered his cousin practically every day as he asked when his master would come and when was his cousin going to marry his master. He called Chi Shuyan Sister-in-law and Master in turns, and completely took his apprenticeship for granted.

Wang Xuewen, Jian Chongying, and Lu Chengfu didn’t dare pester Ninth Master Qi, so they called Qi Hao every day to pester him. Jian Chongying and Lu Chengfu were still somewhat restrained.

Wang Xuewen was more unrestrained and completely didn’t care how Qi Hao felt. He used every waking moment every day to pester Qi Hao, no matter if it was early in the morning or late at night.

Qi Hao scolded him countless times, but Wang Xuewen didn’t take it to heart. Qi Hao scolded Wang Xuewen, and Wang Xuewen pestered him, up until they learned of Chi Shuyan’s whereabouts in the capital.

So, when Wang Xuewen saw her, he reacted faster than Qi Hao. He immediately ran up to Chi Shuyan, extremely excited and incoherent. “Sister-in-law, I’m Wang Xuewen. Do you remember me?”

Not only did he introduce himself, Wang Xuewen also vividly displayed his fanboy abilities. As he beamed at Chi Shuyan, he giddily said that the one thing he had to do every day now was to camp out in front of his computer and grab talismans from her shop. He was willing to spend the money, and almost all of his parents and siblings at home were wearing her Peace Talismans.

He also said that once he bought enough talismans for his family, he would stock up as much as he could. Those talismans were extremely precious life-saving treasures and were worth every penny!

Also, he specially bought a lot of yellow paper and cinnabar and learned how to draw talismans. What he didn’t say was that he unfortunately drew too many and none of them resembled each other.

Faced with this fanboy in front of her who was practically possessed, Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched continuously as she listened to him. She was momentarily at a loss for words.

Qi Hao was utterly disgusted at how this rascal reacted faster than a lackey. He interrupted Wang Xuewen impatiently and said coldly, “Whose sister-in-law? That’s my sister-in-law! Scram to the side! How dare you mention those dogsh*t talismans you drew? By the way, was that bowl of dog blood last night nice? How was it?”

When Qi Hao mentioned this, Jian Chongying on the side couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. Wang Xuewen’s originally gleeful face changed and he looked like he swallowed a fly; this was what was called a marvelous expression.

Curious, Chi Shuyan asked, “What happened?”

They were used to making fun of each other on a regular basis, so Qi Hao unscrupulously exposed this kid’s true colors at that moment. He got up and walked over to Chi Shuyan. His originally cold face was as warm and cordial as the clear sky after a rainstorm. He pursed his lips and gossiped happily. “Sister-in-law, do you know that after this rascal Wang Xuewen came back, he’s been buying a bunch of talismans these days to give to his family, and also buying yellow paper and cinnabar to draw talismans himself? Aunt Wang thought he was possessed or something. A couple of days ago, she hired a very famous ‘enlightened monk’ from the capital to come to their house to perform an exorcism on this kid. This monk recited incantations and used dog blood. If we hadn’t gone over, this kid wouldn’t have just been splashed with a bowl of dog blood that day; he might have had to swallow the blood. When we got there, Aunt Wang and that monk were pressing him down and about to pour the dog blood down his throat!”
