Chapter 568: Gift of Gratitude
Xie Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. She looked around and realized that she had already arrived at the inn.
No wonder she felt so comfortable sleeping.
After washing up, Xie Qiao went downstairs.
“Master Zhao, where are the bones?” Xie Qiao’s address had changed since they were not in the capital.
Zhao Xuanjing’s gaze fell on her face for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, “They are in the funeral home. Someone is watching over them.”
With Xie Qiao’s character, he was afraid that she would have to do everything herself.
Since the bones had been dug out, she might have to find a place with good feng shui to bury them.
Sure enough, Xie Qiao nodded. “I’ll buy some things later and hire some people. Although it won’t be a grand funeral, there should be coffins at least.”
Xie Qiao was extremely responsible to her clients.
Although these starving souls did not have money to pay, they would give a lot of good karma.
With so many dead bodies, it was indeed the most appropriate to leave them at the funeral home temporarily.
Xun County was Elder Li’s hometown. As soon as he came back, Elder Li went back to the family to explain things, leaving Li Qingyu and a group of people to be ordered around by Xie Qiao.
Li Qingyu looked at Xie Qiao with respect.
She asked him to arrange for people to buy coffins. He agreed without having any complaints.
“Master Mo, Young Lady Pang followed us back to the county and said she wanted to thank you,” Li Qingyu said obediently.
“Oh.” Xie Qiao nodded.
Then, she tidied her clothes and sat in front of the table.
Young Lady Pang arrived very quickly. When she saw Xie Qiao, she immediately went forward. With a face full of gratitude, she said, “Master Mo, I’ve really troubled you with my Father’s grave. Earlier, I thought that you were just like the other masters, a bunch of useless people. That’s why I’ve offended you so much. Please don’t blame me.”
Xie Qiao nodded and then said seriously, “The other masters are also kind-hearted. The term “useless people” is too much.”
Most of the other Taoist masters who could see that there was something wrong with the grave had real abilities.
The Pang family had fallen. They had no power or money. The only reason they were willing to solve the problem for the Pang family was because they were worried that the grave would become a big problem in the future!
They were all experts. How would they distinguish between nobility and inferiority?
Young Lady Pang was stunned for a moment, and her face turned slightly red. “I’m sorry, Master Mo. Actually, I didn’t mean to smear their names. It’s just that because of them, I’ve been stabbed in the back all these years… It’s all thanks to you…”
Xie Qiao frowned. “Didn’t you come to thank me?”
She sat up straight, and she looked like she was ready to accept a gift of gratitude.
Even if there was no gift, it did not matter. She would love to hear some compliments.
However… She did not really like this kind of flattery, where the compliment was based on someone else’s misery.
Young Lady Pang’s face was blushing. “Thank you, Master Mo. My family is poor, so there’s nothing I can give to thank you…”
“Well, that’s fine.” Xie Qiao was not exactly disappointed. She had already guessed it.
It was just that she thought this girl was a sweet-talker.
“Master, since you can c-capture spirits, can you tell my fortune for me? My luck isn’t good. No matter what I do, it won’t go well…” Young Lady Pang said again.
She was not young anymore. If her fate did not change, what if she had to be a single lady for the rest of her life?
“The predestined fate is indeed fixed, but the acquired fate is still in your hands. I can’t change it. As for fate… It depends on you.” Xie Qiao shook her head.
How could one change such an illusory thing so easily?
Even if she could change it, the price she had to pay was not something that ordinary people could afford. Just like the evil formation, she would have to pay the price to get the result she wanted!
