"80%?! That means it's doubled!" Upon hearing Kuai Sanjin's reward, Lv Xiucai's mouth almost started drooling.

But just as he was about to agree, he immediately calmed down.

He knew his own situation. Having followed his master all this time, he had seen many things, both powerful and not so powerful.

Although his master had told him that these five copper coins could ward off evil spirits, he had never actually used them.

Seeing Lv Xiucai's conflicted expression, Kuai Sanjin sighed disappointedly. "Forget it, I don't blame you. It's true that this kind of thing can't be handled by ordinary people."

Provoked by the other party's words, Lv Xiucai's brain heated up. "Damn it, I'll do it! People die and hang in the air, but I, Lv Ye, am afraid of this? Li Huowang can do it, why can't I?"

And even if he couldn't win, he should be able to escape with those five copper coins.

"Alright! Lv Lang, you're bold! I'll toast to you!"

Lv Xiucai immediately imitated the actions from the storytelling and casually placed the wine in his hand on the table.

"Don't rush to drink! Wait until I've vanquished the evil spirit, then I'll accompany you slowly!" Lv Xiucai, full of confidence, won Kuai Sanjin's approval, which made him even more proud.

Afterwards, when they arrived at the carriage, Lv Xiucai appeared nonchalant on the surface but felt uneasy in his heart. He kept recalling how Li Huowang had dealt with dangerous situations in the past.

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't come up with anything useful. Whenever they encountered danger in the past, that old man would always run faster than a rabbit, and if there was nowhere to run, he would forcefully stuff Lv Xiucai under the carriage and not let him come out.

In Lv Xiucai's complaints, the carriage arrived at their destination. When he got off the horse and looked around, he realized that they had left the city.

The surrounding houses were pitch black, and he didn't know where they were exactly, but it was probably near Yinling City, with only a few villages nearby.

In front of the carriage was a grand mansion, and it seemed that the people living inside were of extraordinary status.

"Come, Lv Lang, follow me. The employer lives here." Kuai Sanjin said as he went to knock on the door.

With a creak, the door opened, and an elderly man holding a lantern poked his head out.

After seeing Kuai Sanjin's face, he quickly greeted them and invited the two of them inside, as if he was afraid that something would follow them in.

"Sanjin, who is this?"

"Master Fang, rest assured, this person is my brother. He's not an ordinary person, he has learned supernatural abilities from an immortal!"

Seeing the old man hesitatingly sizing him up, Lv Xiucai cleared his throat and put his hand behind his back, imitating Li Huowang's indifferent expression.

"Sanjin!" Upon hearing the solid voice, Lv Xiucai turned his head and saw a group of men approaching him.

In the center of the crowd stood a burly man. Although he was dressed in silk and had a Buddhist bead hanging from his chest, his face was full of flesh, which didn't match his clothes at all.

The other people nearby were no better, all of them looking fierce and menacing. If it weren't for the fact that there were other places to stay near the mansion, Lv Xiucai would have thought he had stumbled into a bandit's den.

Seeing them, Kuai Sanjin immediately lowered his head and hurriedly went up to greet them.

Seeing them whispering to each other, Lv Xiucai suddenly felt uncertain. "Who are these brothers of Kuai Sanjin? They don't seem like legitimate businessmen."

Being in an unfamiliar place, especially at night, Lv Xiucai was starting to regret coming here.

After talking for a while, Kuai Sanjin brought the fat man in front of Lv Xiucai. "Lv Lang, this is Master Zhao. His son is the one being haunted by the evil spirit."

Looking up at the imposing face in front of him, Lv Xiucai was about to say something when he suddenly saw Master Zhao extending his hands, holding them firmly, and sincerely saying, "Lv Immortal, please save my son! He is the only heir of our Zhao family!"

"Alright, alright." Feeling the other party's respect for him, Lv Xiucai's face showed a hint of pride. He liked the feeling of being begged by others, which made him feel powerful.

"Lv Immortal, time is of the essence. Please come quickly, my son can't hold on much longer." Zhao Tianhuo pulled Lv Xiucai and rushed towards the mansion.

The mansion was deep and large, and Lv Xiucai was starting to feel dizzy. "Damn it, I'll buy a mansion this big in the future too!"

Just as Lv Xiucai was thinking this, he was pulled to a flat house and stopped. There was no light inside the house, and it seemed empty.

"Lv Immortal, my son is inside. As long as you can save him, anything can be discussed!"

Lv Xiucai listened carefully and realized that there was no sound at all. He couldn't help but feel anxious. "Master Zhao, is your son the only one in this house?"

"Of course, he's the only one. How many people do you think there can be? He even tore apart the two servants!" Zhao Tianhuo, along with a group of people, pushed and shoved Lv Xiucai towards the door.

"Master Zhao, please wait! You need to tell me what kind of evil spirit this is! How powerful is it? Is it male or female?"

Before Lv Xiucai could get an answer, the locked door suddenly opened, and he was pushed inside.

In the next moment, with a bang, the door closed."Don't close the door! What are you doing? I'm not running away!! Open the door!" Lv Xiucai anxiously pounded on the wooden door, but there was no response.

"Ding ding ding ding ding~" A strange trembling sound made Lv Xiucai's skin crawl.

He turned around tremblingly, raising the five copper coins in his hand towards the darkness.

Something seemed to be hopping around in the dim room, but he couldn't see it clearly.

He was already here, it was useless to say anything else. Lv Xiucai mustered up his courage and threatened loudly into the darkness, "You little evil spirit, don't push your luck! My master is Li Huowang! If you dare to touch me, he won't let you off!"

Lv Xiucai's threat echoed back and forth in the room. Seeing no abnormalities, he calmed down a bit.

"Huh, what's there to be afraid of, there is..." Lv Xiucai gritted his teeth, holding up the copper coins and walking into the room.

After groping around for a while, Lv Xiucai realized that this place should be a bedroom. As for the only son of Lord Zhao, he searched for a long time but still couldn't find him.

"This won't do, it's too dark, I need to light the oil lamp." Lv Xiucai groped his way towards the table, where a fire sickle was conveniently placed next to the oil lamp.

As Lv Xiucai rubbed the sides of the fire sickle, sparks flew out continuously. Suddenly, a spark landed on the oil-soaked wick, and the oil lamp lit up with a whoosh.

Just then, Lv Xiucai saw a very long and pale face across the firelight, staring back at him.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
