The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 28 I've Become a Villain?!

Even if the people of Wuqing Temple were unwilling, they had to admit a fact at this moment.

profession.

That's incredibly professional!!

They were even somewhat dazed, as if they were focused on Lu Yuan...

They saw the same composure and complete control their master had shown when he first led them down the mountain to learn about life.

"Then... Uncle Lu... what should we do next?"

Shen Shulan was also taken aback by Lu Yuan's actions, and even stammered a bit when she spoke.

Having found the hiding place of the evil spirit, Lu Yuan was now at ease.

Looking at Shen Shulan, who stood to the side with a stunned expression, Lu Yuan couldn't help but blink and couldn't resist teasing her:

"Duh, of course it's to attract ghosts!"

Lu Yuan's action startled Shen Shulan.

Meanwhile, the Taoist priest from Wuqing Temple was about to roll up his sleeves.

Hey kid, what are you doing?! What are you doing, acting all flirtatious?! Who are you trying to seduce?!

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards the village to prepare some things, planning to come back that night to catch it!

Shen Shulan stood there, unsure whether she had been electrocuted by Lu Yuan's wink.

A few seconds later, she snapped out of her daze and, watching the figure pass by, blinked her cool, beautiful eyes and quickly followed.

……

On the dirt road back to the village.

Shen Shulan followed closely beside Lu Yuan, and finally couldn't help but speak, her respect for him undisguised:

"I have truly witnessed the brilliance of Uncle Lu today, and it has broadened my horizons."

In response to this compliment, Lu Yuan grinned and waved his hand, saying:

"Not really, I just happened to run into it once before, so I have some experience with it."

Lu Yuan's calm and collected demeanor revealed his unassuming status as the world's third-ranked player.

The disciples of Wuqing Temple behind them were seething with envy, but they couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, Xu Erxiao, standing behind Lu Yuan, suddenly shouted angrily, breaking the silence.

"You worthless bastard, what are you muttering about behind my back!"

"If you've got the guts, stand up and say it out loud!"

"You say I, Brother Lu, am showing off? You've been a coward for two days and haven't found anything, but I, Brother Lu, found something as soon as I arrived, and you're still not satisfied?"

"What kind of person is someone who gossips behind people's backs!"

"Go ahead and show off if you dare!!"

Ok?

Lu Yuan and Shen Shulan stopped at the same time and looked back.

Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan were seen angrily blocking a young Taoist priest from Wuqing Temple.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Yuan immediately frowned and asked.

At this moment, Wang Cheng'an and Xu Erxiao immediately turned to Lu Yuan and complained:

"Brother Lu, they're talking dirty behind your back!"

Before Lu Yuan could react, Shen Shulan's face instantly turned cold, and she immediately scolded him:

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

The disciple, caught red-handed, trembled all over, too frightened to even lift his head.

Shen Shulan ignored him and quickly walked up to Lu Yuan, bowing deeply with a face full of apology.

"Uncle-Master Lu, please don't blame him. I will punish him immediately upon my return!"

Lu Yuan blinked, then smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Shen Shulan looked apologetic and wanted to say something more, but Lu Yuan asked with some curiosity:

"Speaking of which, about what happened before..."

In Lu Yuan's opinion, this matter was indeed somewhat strange.

Even if the people from Wuqing Temple had never seen the "Gravekeeper" before, they could still use various tricks to find evil spirits.

It's just that the process is a bit more troublesome.

Even if it's troublesome, two days have passed, and we can't leave without making any progress.

Speaking of this, Shen Shulan could only sigh helplessly and tell Lu Yuan about what had happened in the past two days.

In short, after Shen Shulan and his group left the Taiyin Mountains, they passed through Qingniu Village, discovered evil spirits, and wanted to help.

Indeed, because they didn't understand what kind of evil spirit it was, they couldn't take the initiative like Lu Yuan did.

The only option is to use the most common methods, to lay a tight net, and then capture the evil spirits when they come to cause trouble again.

Because this work was done within the village, and the evil spirit's target was the villagers.

Then we must protect the safety of the villagers.

Therefore, Shen Shulan gave the villagers of Qingniu Village a recipe for making protective sachets to protect them from evil spirits.

From this point on, Qingniu Village began to be uncooperative in various ways.

"What's the recipe? Can I take a look?"

Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Shen Shulan nodded slightly, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan took it and examined it carefully, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Lu Yuan finally understood what was going on.

Holding the prescription in his hand, Lu Yuan looked at Shen Shulan with a hint of helplessness and said:

"Do you know how much all the ingredients in this recipe would cost in total?"

Shen Shulan was taken aback, wondering why Lu Yuan suddenly asked this.

But Shen Shulan still looked at the prescription and silently calculated in his mind.

But before Shen Shulan could finish her question, Lu Yuan cut to the chase:

"No need to calculate, it's seventeen dollars and ninety-eight cents."

Shen Shulan blinked at Lu Yuan, wondering what he was going to say.

Lu Yuan handed the prescription back to Shen Shulan, shook his head, and said:

"You don't do much manual labor, do you? Including the people behind you."

Shen Shulan was taken aback, glanced back, and then nodded slightly.

Lu Yuan guessed so too.

Doing odd jobs is dirty and tiring work, and someone of Shen Shulan's status would definitely rarely do it.

Given Shen Shulan's status and strength, what she often does is step in as a hero when the disciples of the temple encounter evil spirits they can't handle.

Therefore, Shen Shulan had no idea how much weight seventeen yuan and ninety-eight cents meant to a peasant family.

At this moment, Shen Shulan also came to her senses and looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief:

"Uncle-Master, are you saying that they did this because they didn't want to spend more money..."

For a moment, Shen Shulan felt utterly absurd and said:

"But that was to save their lives!"

"Aren't their lives worth more than seventeen dollars and ninety-eight cents?!"

Lu Yuan remained silent, simply looking at Shen Shulan quietly.

On Shen Shulan's otherworldly, exquisitely beautiful face, the expression shifted from shock to confusion, then to bewilderment, and finally to a thoughtful look.

Shen Shulan seemed somewhat detached from worldly affairs.

Or rather, given her status, it is indeed difficult to understand.

but……

This is the case.

Seventeen dollars and ninety-eight cents was indeed more precious than life itself for a farming family.

Moreover, they had already paid Zhenlong Temple.

Lu Yuan and his two companions were already on their way.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan and his two companions, the people of Qingniu Village would have had no choice but to grit their teeth and pay up.

However, because Lu Yuan and his two companions were a safety net, the people of Qingniu Village were surprised when they heard that they would have to pay so much money to catch an evil spirit.

There's no way Qingniu Village would welcome Shen Shulan and his group.

Finally, after a long silence, Shen Shulan stopped, bowed slightly, and said solemnly:

"It is because I am too ignorant."

"Uncle-Master, I have learned a lot."

Seeing Shen Shulan like this, Lu Yuan laughed and comforted her:

"It's alright, anyway, you're a pretty nice person~"

"The people of Qingniu Village treated you like that, but you didn't get angry and leave. You chose to stay and help them. You're really kind-hearted!"

"If it were me, I would have left long ago if they dared to treat me like that. I'd rather not put up with that humiliation."

Shen Shulan responded to Lu Yuan's words with utmost seriousness:

"Now that I have entered the Daoist sect, I have inherited the ability to see the Yin and Yang and wield thunder, and naturally I have also inherited the Daoist sect's four-word heavenly responsibility: 'Protecting all living beings.'"

"If we abandon them simply because of a few complaints and misunderstandings, wouldn't that make us petty people, not gentlemen? And how could we bear the divine responsibility of protecting all living beings?"

"Like a river flowing eastward, it never forgets its original intention to reach the vast ocean just because stubborn rocks block its way."

"My way is the same."

Lu Yuan: "????"

no! !

Are you putting on a skit here?!

Suddenly it's valued here?!

no! !

Am I being treated like a villain?
