After tidying up the room, Granny Guihua cooked several good dishes, feeling very happy.
She had worked hard her entire life and had never lived in such a good house, which touched her.
The dinner consisted of three dishes and one soup, not luxurious, but very delicious.
As they were eating, there was suddenly the sound of a car outside the villa. An old man got out of the car and approached the villa: "Excuse me, who is Mr. Lu!"
"I am, what is it?" Lu Fan asked, sizing up the old man before him.
"I am Old Shen's family servant!" The old man bowed slightly and placed the gifts aside: "The master said he has an appointment with Mr. Lu, may I ask if you can visit tomorrow?"
"Of course!" Lu Fan nodded: "Tell Old Shen I will go tomorrow, and please take these gifts back!"
"The family head instructed that the gifts must be accepted by Mr. Lu, I hope Mr. Lu will not make things difficult for me!" The old man gave a wry smile.
"Alright!" Lu Fan nodded helplessly. Shen Tianlong had given him the Tianfu Villa and gifts, and he felt somewhat indebted.
"Would you like to eat something together?" Granny Guihua asked politely.
"Thank you, I have already had dinner!" The old man smiled and looked at Lu Fan: "Mr. Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"
Lu Fan nodded and looked at the gifts on the sofa, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Brother Lu Fan, who is this old gentleman?" Lin Ke asked in surprise: "These are all valuable tonics!"
"A friend!" Lu Fan shrugged: "Since they are tonics, give them to Granny Guihua."
"I cannot accept something so expensive!" Granny Guihua shook her head: "How about I sell them tomorrow!"
"These are all tonics, good for the body, please accept them, Granny!" Lu Fan smiled and took the many tonics to Granny Guihua's room.
The next morning, Lu Fan woke up and left Tianfu Villa, arriving outside Shen Tianlong's courtyard.
Before entering, Lu Fan frowned. There was an unusual aura in the courtyard. He had practiced on the mountain for many years and was extremely sensitive to such malevolent energies.
In the courtyard, Shen Tianlong sat aside, with a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe beside him.
"Patriarch Shen, your young master has indeed been afflicted by evil spirits," the Taoist robe man said softly.
"I have long heard that there is a highly powerful Taoist priest in Qingzhou. It is truly fortunate to see you now!" Shen Tianlong clasped his fists: "May I ask how Daoist Chen plans to eliminate this evil?"
"With a little effort, this evil will not dare to act wickedly!" Daoist Chen said softly: "However, I am currently in a state of fasting, and it might be somewhat strenuous to perform the ritual, so..."
"Rest assured, Daoist, as long as the evil can be eliminated, you will not be mistreated!" Shen Tianlong said solemnly.
"You are too kind, that is not what I meant!" Daoist Chen smiled.
Shen Tianlong was very respectful. Daoist Chen had a high reputation in Qingzhou, otherwise, he would not have invited him.
At the same time, Lu Fan observed the courtyard for a moment. An old man from the Shen family walked out: "Mr. Lu, you are here, the master has been waiting in the courtyard!"
Lu Fan nodded and smiled: "Have there been any incidents in the courtyard at night recently?"
The old man staggered, almost falling, and whispered: "Mr. Lu, you truly have keen eyes. The courtyard has not been peaceful in recent days. If it weren't for the young master being ill, the master would not have believed it until now."
"Old Shen is a battle-hardened veteran of the battlefield, not an ordinary person. Naturally, he would not believe in such defiled things!"
Lu Fan nodded, not paying much attention.
Not long after, Lu Fan stepped into the courtyard, looking around. He had come here today to help Old Shen resolve this matter, and he was well aware of the saying that one who takes benefits must serve.
"Mr. Lu has arrived!"
Seeing Lu Fan's figure, Shen Tianlong stood up and smiled, while Daoist Chen frowned slightly: "Who is this?"
"This is Mr. Lu!" Shen Tianlong smiled: "He is also the savior of my grandson. I invited him here this time hoping he could assist Daoist Chen."
"So that's how it is!" Daoist Chen chuckled: "He is so young. It's good enough if he can treat and save people. As for eliminating evil spirits, he probably can't help."
Shen Tianlong's face was awkward. Lu Fan had cured his grandson at the hospital that day, so he probably had some skills, which was why he specifically invited him. He did not expect Daoist Chen to be displeased. Su Dan Novel Network
"So Old Shen has already invited an expert!" Lu Fan shrugged: "It seems I didn't need to come today."
"Mr. Lu, you also understand this matter. Why not work with Daoist Chen to solve this problem for me?" Shen Tianlong said obsequiously.
"As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I also have some reputation in Qingzhou, and eliminating evil spirits is my duty. I don't need others' help!" Daoist Chen stood up: "Since Master Shen has invited someone else, I will leave first."
"Daoist Chen, please don't be angry. When we perform the exorcism today, it will naturally be based on Daoist Chen!" Shen Tianlong quickly said: "After all, Mr. Lu is still young. Even if he understands some things, it will likely be very strenuous."
"Since this Daoist is so concerned, I will not interfere!" Lu Fan chuckled.
This Taoist dressed the part, but in reality, he had no skills. Lu Fan could see clearly that the evil spirits in the courtyard had considerable cultivation. With this Taoist alone, he would be of no use.
"Alright!" Daoist Chen slowly sat down: "Since Master Shen says so, I cannot refuse. At midnight, I will perform the ritual and personally subdue that thing!"
Shen Tianlong nodded repeatedly and looked at Lu Fan apologetically: "Mr. Lu, I am truly sorry to have caused you any grievance!"
"Old Shen, you don't need to blame yourself!" Lu Fan smiled: "If Daoist Chen can eliminate the evil spirits, that would be for the best!"
Shen Tianlong looked apologetic, but regardless, he felt more approval for Daoist Chen. After all, Lu Fan had excellent medical skills, but when it came to this matter, he was not necessarily as capable.
According to Daoist Chen's instructions, the Shen family prepared many things like black dog blood. At the same time, Daoist Chen also specifically drew several talismans: "These talismans can eliminate evil spirits. You should carry them with you for emergencies."
Shen Tianlong nodded quickly, but Lu Fan did not even glance at them. Drawing talismans required a lot of true qi, but Daoist Chen's talismans were probably just a few pieces of white paper.
As the sky gradually darkened, everyone became more solemn, huddled around Daoist Chen, afraid of being contaminated by something unclean.
Daoist Chen began the ritual, chanting incantations. The talismans in his hands suddenly ignited, and the Shen family members exclaimed that he was a divine being.
Only Lu Fan shook his head by the side, thinking that this Daoist Chen probably intended to fool them and finish quickly.
After a series of movements, Daoist Chen let out a long sigh: "The evil spirits have been eliminated, and the Shen residence is at peace!"
"Thank you, Daoist Chen!" Shen Tianlong quickly expressed his gratitude. His grandson's illness was caused by evil spirits, and now that the evil spirits were eliminated, it was a major event for the Shen family.
"Within the ancient well, resentment surges! With your perfunctory methods, who will be responsible if something happens?" Lu Fan asked indifferently, lying by a large tree.
