Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Inviting the Pen Spirit Again Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Inviting the Pen Spirit Again “What’s wrong?” Lu Yichen looked towards Zhong Niangyao beside him, “Are you surprised?”

“Not really,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, but decided to tell the truth anyway, “I just feel that the relationship between you and the Lu Family seems a bit strange.”

She knew her description might not be accurate, but she couldn’t find the right words to express what she meant!

After hearing what Zhong Niangyao said, Lu Yichen wasn’t angry. He chuckled softly, his expression tinged with mystery, “You’ll find out eventually.”

Zhong Niangyao merely shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more.

The conversation between the two of them continued sporadically, and the atmosphere was rather pleasant.

However, about an hour later, the parents from the other three families arrived at the Zhou Family’s home with their children in tow.

At first, they were somewhat distrustful upon seeing Zhong Niangyao, but once they saw that Zhou Shaohua had awakened, they felt somewhat reassured.

For convenience, Zhong Niangyao had the other three brought straight to the living room. Then, with a single piece of talisman paper, all three awoke.

Initially, the parents of the three were not pleased with their children being placed in the living room.

But in just a moment, their children woke up, and their moods swiftly changed for the better. They hurriedly went to their own children, fussing over them with concern.

At the same time, their respect for Zhong Niangyao grew when they looked at her again.

Regardless of age, a capable person always gains more respect from others. Especially a master like Zhong Niangyao, who was indeed someone nobody wanted to offend!

“Alright, whatever you want to do, wait a bit, okay?” Zhong Niangyao’s cool voice rang out, “The problem with you hasn’t been resolved. You have only temporarily awakened. If we don’t deal with that so-called pen spirit, you will still be in danger at any time.”

Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, everyone present grew anxious, whether it was the boys involved or their parents. The nervousness and concern were clearly visible on their faces.

Zhou Shaohua, Ling Chao, Wu Jiguang, and Chu Xu had woken up but were still very weak.

They sat on the sofa, looking at Zhong Niangyao with hopeful eyes. They knew that she was now the only one who could save them.

After glancing at the four, Zhong Niangyao slowly began, “I heard from Zhou Shaohua about your encounter with the pen spirit. The Evil Ghost you invited but failed to send away is now haunting you. If this matter isn’t resolved, you can’t hope to keep your lives.”

“Master, please get rid of that Evil Ghost!” Wu Jiguang’s mother urgently interjected, “Aren’t you a master? That Evil Ghost is harming others; you should capture it. No matter how much money you want, we’ll pay!”

Coming from similar wealthy backgrounds, it was clear each family had no shortage of funds.

But Mrs. Wu’s words were indeed unpleasant to hear.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but frown.

Lu Yichen said nothing, but his icy gaze fell on Mrs. Wu as if she were an insignificant ant.

“Shut your mouth, do you even know how to speak?” Mr. Wu quickly scolded his wife, “Ms. Zhong has her own plans, why are you butting in? You think you’re capable, is that it?”

His wife had indeed brought him a fair share of troubles over the years with her sharp tongue.

She did not come from a wealthy background, but rather an ordinary family. In his youth, he had been captivated by her pretty face and insisted on marrying below his station, only to end up with someone unfit for high society.

But after so many years and with their child all grown up, he had not considered separation. The previous issues were let go, at most resulting in some monetary loss.

But now, offending a master was no small matter. These masters could simply manipulate Feng Shui to bring about their ruin. Even if nothing so severe happened, even small misfortunes decreed by a master would make their lives miserable.

So, no matter whom you offend, never anger a Feng Shui Master.

Mrs. Wu felt wronged but seeing her husband’s stern face, she dared not speak any further.

Zhong Niangyao’s gaze returned to the four boys, “To solve your problems, we need to understand what exactly this Evil Ghost wants.”

“He wants our lives!” Zhou Shaohua clutched his hair, confused, “Isn’t that obvious?”

“Why does he want your lives?” Zhong Niangyao countered directly.

Suddenly, everyone was befuddled, with no one able to answer her question.

“Big brother, what do we do now?” Zhao Xuanglang voiced the question in the hearts of Zhou Shaohua and the others, “They’re all in a daze, utterly clueless!”

“It’s simple,” Zhong Niangyao spoke with a calm, nonchalant demeanor, but her words caused Zhou Shaohua and the others’ faces to turn pale with fear, “You four, just summon the pen spirit once more.”

The four boys’ faces turned even uglier, their pallor mixed with fear.

They had landed in this trouble because they had called upon the pen spirit and were now being asked to do so again — something they deeply resisted.

The parents were also unhappy, but now they didn’t dare speak rashly. Especially seeing Lu Yichen sitting next to Zhong Niangyao like a protective deity, they felt even less inclined to utter a word.

Even though they had no idea who he was, it was clear he was someone they couldn’t afford to provoke.

“We must address the root of the problem before you can truly be safe,” Zhong Niangyao observed their fear and spoke lightly, “Furthermore, I am here now, so you will be safe.”

Even with Zhong Niangyao’s assurance, there was still some hesitation.

“If you keep being afraid to act, I can’t stay by your side forever, waiting for danger to strike,” Zhong Niangyao said plainly, “And if the Evil Ghost acts faster than me and takes your lives, I won’t be able to pull you back from Yama Hall.”

With those words, the faces of those present turned even grimmer.
