“Master Han, you’re not sleepy anymore?” Zhong Yi asked.

Zhong Yihan shook his head, then looked at Jin Xi. “Should we go in now?”

“Alright,” Jin Xi replied.

The servants led them to Old Madam Zhong’s bedroom. The bedroom was very spacious and the furniture was made of mahogany. It looked simple and elegant, which was indeed the style that the older generation liked.

However, Jin Xi had been frowning ever since she entered the room. The room seemed calm, but there was a demonic aura hidden within. That’s right, it was a demon, and a powerful one too!

Zhang Lan was also shocked. He had also noticed the abnormality in the room.

For the people like them, ordinary diseases were easy to cure. As long as they were proficient in yin and yang and the five elements, the diseases could be cured by applying a talisman. However, the current situation was much more complicated. First of all, she had to figure out the demon’s origin. Second, she had to know the demon’s cultivation level. Finally, she had to consider the physical condition of the person who was possessed. If any of these were not accurate, it could be a failure.

“How is it? Can Master Zhang cure her?” Zhong Yihan furrowed his brow and deliberately emphasized the word “master.”

Zhang Lan suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He glanced at Old Madam Zhong on the bed.

“Maybe…”

“What do you mean by ‘maybe’?” Zhong Yi had a bad temper. When he heard this, he rushed up and grabbed Zhang Lan’s collar, “you’ve already accepted the money. If you can’t cure her, we have multiple ways to kill you.”

Of course, Zhang Lan believed him. The fourth young master of the richest family in Hucheng City was known for his ruthlessness. Rumor had it that anyone who offended him would end up in a fate worse than death. However, with Old Madam Zhong’s current condition, he couldn’t cure her with his ability! He wanted to run away now.

“Jin Xi, look at the situation!” Zhang Lan pleaded for Jin Xi’s help pitifully.

However, Jin Xi crossed her arms and glanced at Old Madam Zhong casually. Then, she gave him an encouraging smile. “Be confident. You’ll be fine!”

To hell with her confidence! He was indeed confident in swindling people, but this was different! How was he going to feel confident?

“Mr. Zhong, I’m not feeling well. Can I go out for some fresh air? ” Jin Xi turned to look at Zhong Yihan and asked.

Zhong Yihan’s eyes were dark as he looked at her. “Do you want me to get the family doctor to come over?”

“No.” Jin Xi shook her head. “I just feel that the room is too stuffy.”

After a moment of silence, Zhong Yihan looked at the servant beside him and said, “take Ms. Jin to the living room to rest.”

“Yes, young master.” The servant quickly bowed.

Jin Xi followed the servant and left the old lady’s room.

Seeing that Jin Xi had gone out, Zhang Lan was no longer flustered. The original plan was for him to act as Jin Xi. This way, they could successfully treat Old Madam Zhong without exposing their identities.

“Can we start now?” Zhong Yihan asked impatiently. His tall figure was casually leaning on the sofa, but he exuded a strong and domineering aura that could not be ignored.

“Y-yes.” Zhang Lan’s voice trembled as he replied. It was impossible for him not to feel guilty, but since things had come to this, he had no other choice. He could only hope that Jin Xi would act quickly.

He let out a long breath, then took out something from his cloth bag that he would use later, chalk line, talisman paper, realgar powder…

He mumbled to himself as he took them out. His movements were extremely slow, and it was obvious that he was trying to buy time for Jin Xi. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long before he received a text message from Jin Xi.

[ “Start now.” ]

Seeing the message, Zhang Lan’s heart finally settled down. He put the phone back into his pocket, then wrapped the chalk thread around Old Madam Zhong’s body and began to chant softly.

The corner of Zhong Yi’s eye twitched. This kid was wearing a Kasaya, and he was chanting a Taoist spell? He believed Zhang Lan’s words now. He was really a liar.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Lan was still chanting. He had changed the incantation several times.

Zhong Yihan slowly lost his patience and called out, “Zhong Yi.”
