“Miss, you…” Uncle Fu looked at Cui Feiyan in curiosity.

Judging from her expression, it was obvious Huang Xiaolong was indeed correct about the irregular period, menstrual cramps, and urinal bifurcation.

Cui Feiyan was puzzled. She was ashamed and embarrassed. She wanted so badly to crawl into a hole and hide. 

Huang Xiaolong was right.

Cui Feiyan indeed had all of these illnesses that were too embarrassing to mention. She went to see a lot of doctors before. She saw doctors in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, however, she could never find the cure.

Cui Feiyan was pestered beyond belief by these things.

However, she did not believe in the three fires on everyone or being pestered by malicious spirits as told by Huang Xiaolong as she was an atheist.

“Daughter, now do you believe in Lil Master’s ability?” Cui Dong was grinning. He was even impressed by his own judgment. Huang Xiaolong was such a competent man!

“Lil Master, I did not expect you to have attained such mastery in Traditional Chinese Medicine. You’re such a scholastic celestial being and you’re so well-rounded…” Cui Dong praised him. “I hope you can help my daughter, Feiyan to find a solution for her problems.”

“No problem” Huang Xiaolong agreed and took complete charge of the situation. “Curing illnesses and exorcism will be a one-stop service. The fee is 10 thousand bucks.”

Huang Xiaolong was ecstatic. ‘Business is here again!’

‘Who said it’s hard to make money in the city?’

“Wait!” Cui Feiyan’s face fell. Her voice became cold. “Dad, I never agreed to let him cure any illness or something like that. Plus… He’s a man… I-If he’s treating this kind of illness, won’t that make him a pervert?”

“Feiyan, you’re wrong. All doctors care about their patients like they’re their children. From a doctor’s perspective, the gender and age of a patient doesn’t matter.” Huang Xiaolong said flatly, “It seems like you’re quite biased against me. However, it’s fine, you’ll change your mind about me one day.”

“Stop, stop! People won’t think that you’re mute if you don’t speak.” Cui Feiyan’s first impression of Huang Xiaolong was bad. She did not believe Huang Xiaolong could cure her illness. Even if he could, she could not accept it as well. She felt nauseous thinking about it.

Huang Xiaolong smiled and looked at Cui Dong. “Uncle Cui, this is this, that is that. Let me take care of your problems first.”

“Okay! Lil Master, please follow me.” Cui Dong lead the way and brought Huang Xiaolong into the residential area of Prosperous Imperial Court.

Cui Feiyan and Uncle Fu were following behind them.

After seeing Cui Feiyan’s icy expression, Uncle Fu said quietly, “Miss, just let him be for the time being. Master really believes in him. Um, but miss, if you really have that kind of illness, w-why don’t you let him help you? Perhaps it’ll work?”

“Uncle Fu, please stop talking about that!” Cui Feiyan was so angry she started stomping her feet.

Huang Xiaolong was dazzled as he walked through the residential area. He was like a country bumpkin seeing the glitz and glamor of a strange and new world for the first time. He kept looking around. “What beautiful houses. This is the mansion a rich people in the city live in, right? How lordly! Any of these are more luxurious than our chief’s house. The houses here must be expensive, right?”

“Um…” Cui Dong smiled. He was quite fond of a pure-hearted young man who’s skilled yet inexperienced like Huang Xiaolong. “Yeah, they’re quite expensive. It cost hundreds of thousands for one square meter.”

“Ah? Hundreds of thousands? One square meter?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes widened. “My gosh, are the houses in the city made out of gold?”

“Hahaha! Lil Master, you’re hilarious. With your ability, you’ll be able to afford your own mansion here soon,” said Cui Dong seriously.

After walking for a while, they arrived under a hill.

It was a landscape dotted with low hills and hillocks that were about 10 meters high. It was covered with greenery and a lot of different kinds of flowers. Halfway up the hill, there was a European style mansion. It dominated about a thousand square meters of the land. It looked extremely luxurious and extravagant. 

“Lil Master, this is my mansion on the waist of the mountain. There’s only one of its kind in this residential area. “A business friend of mine sold this to me when he migrated overseas.”

When Cui Dong spoke about this, there was a hint of terror in Cui Dong’s eyes. “Ever since I moved here, I can feel something’s wrong with me. I space out a lot. At night, I would see a human shadow walking around in front of me. When I close my eyes, I’ll hear someone saying weird things in my ears. Sigh!”

“Dad, if you don’t like this mansion, we can sell it. If not, you don’t have to live here,” Cui Feiyan said.

“Feiyan, Uncle Cui had encountered a ghost. A ghost will attach itself to your bones. After a person has been targeted by a ghost, they could never get rid of the ghost no matter where they escape to unless they destroy the ghost completely.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “The problem now is not this mansion.”

“Enough! Stop promoting superstition and hokum!” Cui Feiyan interrupted Huang Xiaolong rudely.

Huang Xialong was not mad. He said to Cui Dong while smiling, “Uncle Cui, let me have a look at your mansion.”

“Okay, please, Lil Master,” Cui Dong said courteously.

Huang Xiaolong followed Cui Dong to the front of the mansion after climbing the marble steps.

There were rows of lush green trees at the front of the mansion. All of them were standing tall and luxuriant.

In the middle of the trees, there was a man-made swimming pool. The water was glistening softly under the glow of the pale moonlight.

The leaves were rustling in the wind. The shadows from the trees were mottled. When they moved around on the ground, they looked like a thousand waving ghosts.

Cui Feiyan and her father did not live together and she rarely came here. At that moment, she felt a strangely terrifying aura. There was a cold wind on her back and there was a delusion that something was behind those trees. However, when she focused on searching for it, she could not find anything.

Huang Xiaolong was not in a hurry to enter the mansion. After he looked around the place, he nodded lightly.

“Lil Master, did you something?” Cui Dong asked.

“When I drove here, I noticed there’s a temple near this residential area,” Huang Xiaolong said suddenly.

“Yeah, it’s Temple of Heaven Light. It was built just two months ago. There was an unending stream of pilgrims. There’s quite a number of amateur practitioners of Buddhism who would come all the way just to pray or ask for blessings,” Uncle Fu added.

“A temple or a Daoist temple are places where there is only Yang qi. People like to go and pray and ask for blessings, in addition to that, ghosts will also want to break free from their sufferings so they’ll go and enjoy the incense and offerings in the temple. As time passes, these dirty things will affect the residents nearby,” Huang Xiaolong said firmly. “Plus, there are a lot of locust trees outside the mansion. The word ‘huai’ is made out of the word ‘wood’ and ‘ghost’1, so they are the ghost of wood. The abundance of Yin qi attracts ghosts easily. So that’s why there’s an old saying that says it’s best to avoid locust trees when one buries the deceased. There’s also the saying ‘when there are locust trees in front of the house, there will be a lot of ghosts wandering late at night’. People from ancient times would also prefer to hang themselves on locust trees.”

Under this atmosphere and environment, Cui Feiyan’s entire body went cold after hearing what Huang Xiaolong said. She shuffled closer to Uncle Fu.

“Plus, the water in the swimming pool outside the mansion is dead. Dead water gathers Yin qi. From the perspective of Fengshui, it becomes a situation where Yang qi is trapped with nowhere to flow, thus there’s stagnant energy. Hehe, there’s a temple near the residential area, locust trees in front of the mansion, and stagnant energy when it according to Fengshui. Uncle Cui, it’s hard for your mansion to not attract ghosts,” Huang Xiaolong explained confidently.

Cui Dong was mesmerized while listening to his explanation. He was extremely impressed with Huang Xiaolong. He nodded. “Lil Master, how should I fix this situation?” 

Huang Xiaolong said airily, “It’s easy. Plant some peach willow in the east, green elm in the west, plum jujube in the south, and apricot in the north.

“Okay, Uncle Cui. I’ll go into the mansion now and do some exorcism.” Huang Xiaolong strode into the mansion with his head held high.

Cui Dong followed behind compliantly.

“What a scam!” Cui Feiyan scoffed but still followed behind them inside the mansion with Uncle Fu.

The mansion was brightly lit, but there were no servants or maids.

Huang Xiaolong squinted his eyes and murmured, “What a heavy aura of resentment. It seems that the wandering spirits in this house had killed someone before.

“Uncle Cui, you’re not here often, right?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile on his face.

“Yeah, I’ve only stayed here overnight a few times. After I noticed that this place was uncomfortable, I did not dare to come back. I was scared that something will happen and I didn’t bother to hire people to clean up,” Cui Dong answered.

“Your mansion is too clean.” Huang Xiaolong walked around the living room of the mansion and touched an antique-and-curio shelf. When he lifted his finger, it was clean. There was no sign of dust.

“Normally, it’s a good sign if there are cockroaches, rats, and bugs at a place where a human stays. It means there are signs of life. However, it’s not normal if the place is this clean when no one is around to clean it.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Uncle Cui, think about it, no one has ever cleaned this place and yet it’s so clean. Then, what’s cleaning for you?”

“G-G-Ghosts?” Cui Dong asked with his voice trembling. His body started to tremble and his face turned white.

“Do not scare my dad!” Cui Feiyan saw Huang Xiaolong was talking casually about important matters and she was agitated. She snapped coldly, “My dad is old. Aren’t you scared of the karma of scaring him just to scam his money?”

“Eh, Feiyan, you keep doubting me. Plus, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t view Xuanxue as superstition because of your ignorance.” Huang Xiaolong became stern. “If you want, I won’t mind showing you the ghosts today.”

“You’re insane!” Cui Feiyan scoffed. “Alright, if you can really show me a ghost, I’ll be thoroughly convinced.”

“You have to apologize to me then since you’ve insulted me.” Huang Xiaolong said purposefully.

“Hehe, fine. I will apologize. Show me a ghost now. I’ve never seen a ghost in my entire life,” Cui Feiyan answered.

“Feiyan, don’t be disrespectful!” Cui Dong scolded.

Huang Xiaolong chuckled and took out a wrinkly yellow fuzhuan from his pocket. “This is a Yin detecting charm. It’s to detect the source of the Yin qi.”

After he said that, Huang Xiaolong threw the charm and it spun in the air as if it had grown wings. Then, it combusted into a ball of flames.

“Um…” Cui Dong and Uncle Fu were at a loss of words.

“What a scam!” Cui Feiyan’s eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.

After the fireball spun around the air for a few moments, it started making its way upstairs quicker than words could tell.

“Come, follow me. I’ll bring you to see ghosts.” Huang Xiaolong rubbed his hands together while chucking. Then, he walked slowly in the direction of the fireball.
