Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

Chapter 6: Watch Me Do It

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Feng Xiaolu sprang out of bed with a jolt. Apart from being a little pale, there was no trace of her being drunk the night before, and she looked full of energy again.

"Get up, junior brother! The daylight is perfect, it's an auspicious day for us to 'exorcise demons'!" she shouted as she quickly changed into her signature yellow Taoist robe, making sure to straighten the wooden hairpin.

Chen Anran had already finished washing up and changed into the moon-white Chinese-style suit he had bought yesterday. The clothes fit him well, making him look tall and elegant, and he did indeed have an indescribable transcendent air about him.

Feng Xiaolu circled him twice, then nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm! You've got the hang of it! Remember, talk less later, keep a calm expression, and have a clear, empty look in your eyes. Just watch my signals!"

The two had a simple breakfast near the hotel, and then Feng Xiaolu took out her smartphone and arranged to meet Mr. Wang at the entrance of the old residential area.

When the taxi arrived at the destination, a middle-aged man in a suit with an anxious expression was already waiting there, along with several workers in overalls who looked uneasy.

"President Wang!" Feng Xiaolu immediately adopted a solemn yet approachable expression, quickly stepped forward, and bowed. "May you be blessed by Heaven. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

When Mr. Wang saw Feng Xiaolu, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but when his gaze fell on Chen Anran, who was walking slowly towards him, it clearly lit up. Chen Anran's attire and calm demeanor were indeed quite intimidating.

"Master Feng, who is this...?" President Wang asked tentatively.

"This is my senior brother, Daoist Chen Anran." Feng Xiaolu turned slightly to the side, her tone carrying just the right amount of respect. "My senior brother usually cultivates in seclusion in the deep mountains and rarely enters the world. This time, upon hearing of the unusual occurrences here, which concern the people's livelihood, he made an exception and came down the mountain to help."

Chen Anran nodded slightly in agreement, her gaze calmly sweeping over President Wang and the rather dilapidated and gloomy old building, her voice even: "May you enjoy boundless longevity and happiness."

Not a word more, not a word less, instantly elevating its sophistication.

Mr. Wang's doubts immediately lessened, and he quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Master Chen! I've heard so much about you! I'm truly grateful for your help this time!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Wang pointed to the building and began to complain, vividly describing things like crying in the middle of the night, shadowy figures moving around, and workers inexplicably fainting.

Feng Xiaolu listened with a serious expression, occasionally calculating with her fingers and muttering incantations. After President Wang finished speaking, she nodded solemnly and said, "President Wang, don't panic. This building is old and has accumulated yin energy. In addition, its layout is flawed, which has fostered some unclean things. My senior brother and I will perform a ritual to dispel them."

After saying that, she gave Chen Anran a wink.

Chen Anran understood, but maintained his policy of keeping quiet.

Feng Xiaolu then began setting up the "battlefield." First, she had the workers set up an incense table in the open space in front of the building. Then, as if by magic, she pulled incense burners, candles, command flags, and other items from her magic bag. Next, she grabbed a handful of ordinary glutinous rice and chanted, "Eight Directions of Power, make me natural! Disperse the foul air, let the Daoist energy endure!"

Feng Xiaolu secretly circulated the meager initial spiritual power of her Qi Refining stage within her body, concentrated it in her palm, and then suddenly scattered the glutinous rice!

The glutinous rice seemed to faintly glow with an extremely faint white light in the air, and then with a soft "poof," it landed as if a gentle breeze had swept by, slightly dispersing the dust on the ground.

"Wow!" The workers nearby gasped softly. Boss Wang's eyes widened too; this was far more effective than any of the charlatans they'd hired before!

Feng Xiaolu was secretly pleased, but her face remained impassive as she continued her performance. She picked up the compass again and pretended to probe around. When she reached a certain spot, she secretly pinched a small blood packet hidden in her sleeve with her fingernail, dripping a drop onto the compass. Then, she used her spiritual power to activate it, and the next second, Feng Xiaolu exclaimed, "Such heavy Yin energy!"

The compass needle suddenly began to tremble wildly, which looked quite frightening.

Then, she picked up the crafted copper coin sword, performed the Seven Star Steps, and mumbled an indistinct incantation. Suddenly, she pointed the sword at a window of the old building and shouted, "Break!"

At the same time, Feng Xiaolu secretly infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the sword.

A faint glimmer of light seemed to flash across the sword's blade for an extremely brief moment, and along with her shout, a series of soft rustling sounds seemed to come from inside the building.

This series of actions, combined with her vivid performance and the slight "special effect" of a Qi Refining stage cultivator, left Boss Wang and the workers stunned, their faces filled with awe.

Finally, Feng Xiaolu, sweating profusely, said to President Wang, "President Wang, my senior brother and I have temporarily suppressed the foul air here. This packet of 'glutinous rice'..." She solemnly took out a packet of glutinous rice and handed it to President Wang, "Have someone scatter it in the corners of the building, the stairwells, and other dark places, and ventilate for three days, and everything will be fine."

Mr. Wang was overjoyed, accepting the glutinous rice with both hands and repeatedly expressing his gratitude: "Thank you so much, Master Feng! Thank you so much, Daoist Chen! You two are truly masters! I'll have someone transfer the payment to your account immediately!"

Feng Xiaolu nodded reservedly: "It's my duty. Remember, don't let anyone near you for the next three days."

After the matter was settled, Feng Xiaolu and Chen Anran left the scene amidst Wang Zong's profuse thanks.

As soon as she got back to the hotel and closed the door, Feng Xiaolu immediately revealed her true colors, excitedly jumping onto the bed and rolling around: "Hahaha! Success! Junior brother, did you see that? The expressions on Boss Wang's and those workers' faces! Perfect! We've hit the jackpot this time! Senior sister will treat you to a big meal tonight!"

Chen Anran couldn't help but laugh when she saw her childish appearance.

Congratulations, Senior Sister.

"Haha, enough of that. Junior brother, let's not rush back to the mountain. With this money, I'll show you around Lin City and buy some gifts for our senior sister and junior nephew!"

"it is good."

So the two stayed in Lincheng for another two days, and Feng Xiaolu took Chen Anran around. Chen Anran also took the opportunity to observe this modern city and think about what things might have evolutionary potential.

On the afternoon of the third day, as they were preparing to check out and return to the mountain, Feng Xiaolu's phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was President Wang, she winked smugly at Chen Anran, pressed the answer button, and said in a relaxed tone, "Hello, President Wang, is everything settled?"

However, what came through the phone was Mr. Wang's exasperated, almost tearful voice: "Master Feng! It's no use! Absolutely no use! After the workers scattered the glutinous rice, the commotion in the building got even worse that night! Some people even said they saw green eyes! Now all the workers have fled in terror, and the project has come to a complete standstill! Your...your methods just don't work!"
