I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 333: Chapter 280 Ugly Girl (Part 6) (4400 words)_3

The scene immediately became very enthusiastic, and many people expressed their gratitude to Yan Junze.

Second Aunt Wang immediately spoke to Second Uncle Wang for a moment, who then pulled Director Wang Dafa closer and whispered in his ear. Wang Dafa, bursting with laughter, nodded and said to everyone, “For inviting the exorcist master this time, since it was through Captain Wang Tao’s connections and not by waiting in line, the base payment for each household will be 5,000 yuan, with no cap.”

After a pause, he continued, “Everyone has seen what happened to the children just now. If it weren’t for the exorcist master’s advance preparations, we would have surely been in trouble. You all can also give other gifts to the exorcist master without restriction, but make sure not to give anything that would make him look down on us.”

The others chuckled and nodded in agreement, then Wang Tao added a few more words, the gist of which was that Yan Junze was invited by Second Uncle Wang’s side, so the uncle had said that he would give the lion’s share of the remuneration, and the rest would contribute as previously discussed.

It’s just that these people were mostly from the second-generation wealthy, so they definitely wouldn’t be stingy with such an amount.

Gradually, everyone dispersed, and soon after, several households brought over their payment and gifts, with none below ten thousand yuan, even including gold and silver jewelry among the gifts.

Some residents were very down-to-earth, not only giving payment but also bringing several baskets of eggs, and some ham, leaving Yan Junze both amused and bemused.

After a busy while, he stayed overnight at Second Uncle Wang’s house. As people left one by one, the yard gradually became quiet.

Yan Junze checked the time, guessing that Zhang Xiaomo wasn’t asleep, and picked up the phone to call her.

The call was quickly connected, and Yan Junze asked bluntly, “What’s your opinion on the phrase ‘A man’s mouth lies more than a ghost’?”

Zhang Xiaomo on the other end was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “I know what you mean. I had that feeling when dealing with the Lantern Woman. Are you just coming to this realization now?”

Yan Junze was somewhat speechless, “Yes, some of it is by chance, but some is inevitable. I think I now know why I’m so popular.”

“Popular with whom?” asked Zhang Xiaomo.

“You’ll understand later,” Yan Junze replied with a wry smile.

There was a moment of silence on Zhang Xiaomo’s end before she suddenly asked, “The Lantern Woman hasn’t left, has she? Is she following you?”

“Being too clever as a woman can make life very exhausting. Don’t you know that?” Yan Junze countered.

Zhang Xiaomo’s expression was unknown, but her voice suddenly softened, “Take care of yourself. If necessary, I can spend a few days with you like in the past. Regardless of whether it’s Fang Ning, who has been shadowing you and expressing her love, or the Lantern Woman who has just become smitten with you and sought you out, I think I can handle them both.”@@novelbin@@

Yan Junze laughed, “I feel like there’s a hidden meaning in your words. Have you sensed some kind of danger?”

“Nonsense,” scolded Zhang Xiaomo with a laugh, “But speaking of which, didn’t I just come out from dealing with the Spirit Bridge in Mo Family Village? The Spirit Bridge was almost gone, which should mean the matter there is settled, but a whole heap of trouble has erupted here. In the last few days, Tianmeng City and other towns have experienced a lot of strangenesses, and we remaining exorcists are almost going insane dealing with it all day long.”

“Do you need help?” asked Yan Junze.

“No need,” Zhang Xiaomo shook her head, “But do you remember the Spirit Cultivator who together with the Ancient Corpse killed Uncle Guo the last time?”

“Of course,” replied Yan Junze.

“We’ve found out, his name is Yan Long, he owns a shop, but he’s secretly been cultivating spirits and has some tricks up his sleeve,” said Zhang Xiaomo, “After finding out Yan Long’s address, we were ordered to join forces with the exorcists from Tianyi District to raid his den and prevent any other hidden threats. I was in charge of the operation, but I’ve been tied up here and couldn’t leave.”

Yan Junze was startled, “Isn’t that a coincidence?”

“A coincidence? What do you mean?” Zhang Xiaomo was puzzled.

“I’m currently in Tianyi District,” said Yan Junze, “And I was a participant back then too, wasn’t I?”

“Alright, what are you trying to say? No need to say anymore, you go. I’ll give you the contact of the exorcist from that side,” Zhang Xiaomo decisively said.
