Chapter 1143 1143: Merits Have Arrived!
"What's wrong?" Ye Lingfeng asked when he saw Zhouzhou's unusual expression.
Zhouzhou touched her chin, thinking back to what the policeman had said earlier. She pondered for a moment before asking, "Dad, what do you think about having someone from the Mystery Sect specifically work with the police to handle certain cases?"
"Of course, that's a good idea," Ye Lingfeng nodded. "Each profession has its own experts. If you have someone who understands the field, things will definitely be more efficient. Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Zhouzhou handed him the talisman she was holding and explained its function.
This piqued Ye Lingfeng's interest. After carefully inspecting the talisman, he said, "According to what the abbot said, the Merits can only be obtained if the Sanqing Temple is revitalized. So, establishing a specialized organization to cooperate with the police is indeed helpful."
"First, it solves the employment issue for some of the people in the Mystery Sect. Secondly, it gives you a chance to put your skills to use and promote the reputation of Sanqing Temple. Third, it gives you an official identity, so when you walk around in the future, you'll hold your head higher."
"Exactly!" Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Back when she had a stall, she had even been chased by the urban management officers. People used to say she was young and a liar.
Hmph.
She wasn't lying to anyone; she was just doing things properly.
Seeing her puffed-up expression, Ye Lingfeng reached up and rubbed her head. "This is going to take quite a bit of planning. You should head back first, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Alright!" Zhouzhou fully trusted him, without a hint of doubt. "Let's go!"
"Mm."
After sending her to the airport, Ye Lingfeng asked Luo Jin to take care of the remaining matters.
To completely deal with the Enchanting Bugs, they'd need to search the mountains, which was quite troublesome. They also needed to figure out where these people had learned how to cultivate the Enchanting Bugs. If someone else figured it out, it would be disastrous.
Anyone who had already been affected by the Enchanting Bugs needed to be dealt with too. There was just so much to handle.
Ye Lingfeng furrowed his brow as he looked at Zhouzhou. "Zhouzhou, do you know anyone who raises the Enchanting Bugs? Also, does the Mystery Sect have any branches?"
Zhouzhou blinked in confusion. She didn't understand why he was asking.
Ye Lingfeng explained, "If we're going to set this up, just catching ghosts and spirits isn't enough. You'll also need to handle things like the Enchanting Bugs. Otherwise, you'll find it difficult to resolve situations like this. So, we need a more comprehensive approach. It doesn't matter if each person doesn't master everything. As long as they excel in one area, it'll be enough."
Got it!
Zhouzhou's eyes lit up. "Let me ask when I get back!"
She wasn't sure, but her master and the others had extensive connections, so they should know.
Ye Lingfeng nodded and kept this in mind. Not only was it for his daughter, but also to prevent anyone from falling into the same trap again in the future.
Zhouzhou suddenly pouted. "Dad, even if we finish this job, it might not be useful. I still haven't received my Merits. Maybe Ancestral Master was just fooling me."
Talking about this, Zhouzhou felt demotivated.
"Dad, I think I'm just going to lie down and do nothing. It's no use even if I work hard."
Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
He had been watching his daughter work hard all these years, and hearing her say something like this was completely out of character for her.
Just as he was about to say something, Zhouzhou was suddenly enveloped in a golden light, and the spot on her head that had been balding seemed to shrink.
This... is... Merits!
Zhouzhou instantly felt it too, her eyes wide with surprise.
In the next second, she hurriedly pulled Ye Lingfeng closer. "Dad, quick, let me share some with you!"
Families should share their blessings!
Ye Lingfeng looked at her with a smile, relieved to see the vitality returning to her face. He had been worried that if the Merits didn't come soon, his little girl would start causing trouble.
After the Merits faded, Zhouzhou immediately touched her head and asked, "Dad, do you think the bald spot has shrunk a bit?"
She had received Merits before, but they always landed around her bald area.
This couldn't go on.
As she thought about it, Zhouzhou looked nervous.
Ye Lingfeng looked carefully at her and then raised an eyebrow. When Zhouzhou saw this, her heart sank, and she looked disappointed. "Still nothing?"
She had done everything she could, and if it still didn't work, she'd have to rely on the next life.
Why did her life have to be so hard? Would she ever get a chance to be a little rich in her next life?
Her eyes dimmed as she thought about it.
Ye Lingfeng slowly spoke, "It seems to be working after all."
"Your bald spot has shrunk by about one-quarter."
What?
Zhouzhou immediately raised her head in excitement. "Really?"
Ye Lingfeng nodded. "I'm not lying."
"Before, your head was as bald as a salted egg." As soon as he said it, he felt a cold glare from Zhouzhou.
Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh. He quickly corrected, "Like a golden egg, a golden egg."
Zhouzhou's glare finally softened, and she eagerly asked, "What about now?"
Her expression changed quickly.
Ye Lingfeng said, "Now, it's less round and irregular."
He drew a circle in the air with his finger, then circled a quarter of it. "Here, the Merits have filled it in."
Finally!!!
Zhouzhou's eyes widened in disbelief.
Two years, and there had finally been a breakthrough!
Ancestral Master really hadn't been lying to her!
Oh, right, speaking of her Ancestral Master...
Zhouzhou hurriedly pulled out the statue from her bag, tore off the talisman, and called out, "Ancestral Master, come out!"
"Oh, now you believe me?" Ancestral Master snorted. "You only call me out when you want me. I have no dignity."
She had been so suspicious of him back then, even locking him up and not letting him speak. He was angry!
Zhouzhou, being good at both bending and stretching, quickly began to flatter him. "Ancestral Master, I was wrong. We're almost there. Don't you want to celebrate and discuss the next steps?"
"I have a feeling that it won't be long before we restore the full golden light. Ancestral Master, you'll become the brightest Ancestral Master, and I'll change my poor fate and become a rich lady!"
As she said this, Zhouzhou's tail seemed to flick upwards, full of hope and anticipation.
At this point, Ancestral Master couldn't hold back anymore and flew out of the statue. "Quick, see if my face is looking better!"
Zhouzhou carefully inspected him and nodded. "Ancestral Master, your skin condition has definitely improved!"
She wasn't lying; it was the truth.
Ancestral Master looked at her head and said, "Zhouzhou, you're not as bald anymore!"
After that, they both exchanged looks and embraced each other, so excited that they almost cried.
It had been such a long road!
Now that Ancestral Master had regained his confidence, he raised his chin and asked, "Are you still going to lie flat and quit working?"
Zhouzhou shook her head vigorously. "No, no, I'll only stop when I become a rich lady!"
Ancestral Master snorted. "Will you doubt me again?"
Zhouzhou replied, "Of course not. My Ancestral Master is the best, no other temple can compare to you."
Ye Lingfeng, watching from the side, couldn't help but remain silent.
When did his daughter become so much of a lapdog?
What do you think?
