C231 Is the enemy (1/2)
There was a saying that was called 'enemies have a narrow path'. This saying could not be any more suitable for the bodies of Yun Luo and Xu Guoliang.
From the moment the virtual light arrived at Ghostly Wife Town, Yun Luo had already smelled the copper stench on his body.
No matter if it was a good or bad fate, Yun Luo still invited him into the inn to chat.
”Daoist Priest, you are truly omnipresent. You have come here for the sake of capturing me?”
Xu Guang shook his head, ”No, no, no. This Penniless Priest came because of someone else's request to capture ghosts.”
”Catch ghosts?” Yun Luo thought about it, the ghost that caused the most trouble here was the red tassel, was he here to catch it?
”Judging from your tone, you know that ghost?” Xu Guoliang sipped a mouthful of tea as if he had already made up his mind.
Nangong Yu sneered, ”She's more than just acquainted with him, she's even messing with him like a ghost.”
It was love and possession, yet the red tassel still believed her. However, this also proved that the fox spirit was clever and cunning.
Yun Luo pouted at Nangong Yu, ”When did I mess with her? Don't hurt my reputation.”
In order to save her, she could not bear to see her red tassel fall. It was purely out of kindness.
Xu Guang stroked his beard. ”Then, do you want to go public or do you want to settle it privately?”
If it was the public, Yun Luo would not interfere and would allow the Taoist to catch ghosts to his heart's content. If it was the private, he would spend his money to end the disaster and continue his old style.
Yun Luo rolled her eyes. This repulsive Taoist's magic was above her own. If she were to use it on herself, then her own loss would be the smallest. However, she couldn't let him take the red tassel for nothing.
”Just tell me how much you want.” This was a rather domineering sentence.
”This ghost already has thirty years of mana, so it's a little complicated to deal with, so it's a little expensive. Five thousand taels.”
”What?” Five thousand silver taels? ”Why don't you just rob them?” Yun Luo gritted her teeth. Every time, she would ask for an exorbitant price. She really didn't understand why he wanted so much money, and why she couldn't get married and have children.
Besides, as a Taoist, was it really good to be greedy?
Nangong Yu coldly laughed as he interjected, ”He's already robbed many times, and the targets are all you.”
That sentence woke Yun Luo up. That's right, why did it feel like wherever she went, this virtual light would receive the demon? However, the excuse this time was a bit new.
”This humble Taoist is the same to everyone and not just to her,” Xu Guoliang justified himself.
”You think I would believe you?” Yun Luo threw a contemptuous look at the virtual light, ”Think back for yourself, how much did you rob from me? Besides, how can you be so sure that I'll do as you say this time? I am not related to that ghost girl, what right do I have to help her? ”
”Alright, since the little fox is not interfering, then this humble one will go and catch the ghost and take the Du Family's silver. In any case, this humble one will have the silver to earn, so this trip will not be in vain.” Xu Guang stood up and left.
Yun Luo quickly stopped him, ”Don't be like this. We've worked together so many times, can you be a bit cheaper?”
There was really no helping it, although the husband and wife had a respectable status, the amount of silver they brought was really not much.
After this bloody lesson, Yun Luo decided that she could take anything with her when she went out in the future. However, she had to take this silver. After all, the chances of meeting a greedy Daoist like Xu Guang were too high.
Xu Guoliang lowered his eyes in thought. ”Alright then. Three thousand taels of silver is enough to give you face.”
He might even have the chance to work together in the future. After all, there was still a long way to go, and he couldn't just seek temporary benefits.
Yun Luo looked troubled, ”Three thousand taels is still more. How about this number?” She held out a finger.
”A thousand silver?” Xu Guoliang was very surprised. Was there a mistake? He had bid 5000, but she had forcibly compressed it into 1000. Was this just treating him as fun?
Yun Luo shook her head.
