When Xie Qiao heard Xie Pinggang’s words, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
She looked at him innocently. “That’s impossible. You must have heard it wrong, Eldest Brother. Senior Aunty Mo is an elder!”
“I think so too. I didn’t notice it at all. It was Zhou Weizong and a few other guys who told me. They said it as if it was true, so I thought it was strange too.” Xie Pinggang scratched his head. “Master Mo also curses. She must’ve learned those curses when she was traveling.”
Or else?
Could she be his long-lost sister?
Xie Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
She did not know when she forgot about her disguise and almost exposed herself.
“Eldest Brother, aren’t you worried that I’m pretending to be Master Mo?” Xie Qiao mustered up her courage and looked at him with a burning gaze.
After saying this, Xie Pinggang sneered. “It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but you’re really far from being a master despite being well-versed in both worlds. Look at you. You were so scared that your face turned pale when you heard the terms ‘spirit’ and ‘dead souls’. Master is different. She doesn’t panic in the face of battle. The thing that she saw was much more powerful than the wandering souls that you usually see. They were all vengeful spirits! However, with a slight wave of her hand, a few talismans were thrown and all those vengeful spirits were killed!
“Among the people I admire in my life, other than the grand preceptor who knows everything in the world and the Prince who is as steady as a mountain, Master Mo is the only one,” Xie Pinggang added.
Xie Qiao was embarrassed by the praise.
“Is she really that powerful?” She was a little shy.
“Of course. It’s a pity that you didn’t go to Xun County with her this time. If you could learn more, you might not be so timid.” Xie Pinggang shook his head. “This Master Mo is good at capturing spirits. She’s very accurate with her divination. How many people will have a good ending if they don’t listen to her? For instance, Zhao Xuzhi and his concubine… One was imprisoned, and the other didn’t have a good ending either. They’re foolish for not listening to her!”
Xie Pinggang was talking about Young Lady Pang.
It was said that Zhao Xuzhi was going to take a concubine, and she was brought to the capital.
However, now that Zhao Xuzhi was caught, the people of Prince Ning Bei’s residence were still polite to Young Lady Pang and wanted to send her back in an orderly manner.
Young Lady Pang was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.
“It happened in the past two days. I heard that in order to enter the Prince’s residence, Young Lady Pang sold the few remaining assets and even the Bai family’s incense formula. She exchanged them for a large amount of gold and silver and brought them to the capital. How long has it been before she has to go back? She’s a lady, and she doesn’t have anyone trustworthy by her side. She definitely can’t keep the money safe!”
Prince Ning Bei was a good person, so he asked the guards of the residence to send her back personally.
Therefore, the possibility of losing money on the way was low.
However, Xie Pinggang knew very well in his heart that in this day and age that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl held 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver in her hand and did not even have a trustworthy person by her side, how long could she protect the silver?!
Even the old man by her side could be loyal in the past, but what about in the future?
When he was reunited with his family, would his family not be urging him to do something?
Even if he was loyal, an old man like him would not be able to do anything.
Therefore, when this person returned to Xun County, who knew how many people with ill intentions would attack her?!
Moreover, how many thieves were there in this world?
In short, that young lady’s luck would definitely not be too good for the rest of her life!
“You don’t know this Young Lady Pang that I told you about, so you naturally don’t understand how amazing Master Mo is. It’s also your good luck that you were able to cultivate in the same Taoist temple as Master Mo back then. You should try your best to learn from her. It’s also good to have the ability to protect yourself!”
