“Will you do it?”
Qin Jiu stared at the sword, stunned. This… this was definitely not a spirit weapon.
“An immortal artifact?”
“An immortal artifact. Do you want it?” Tang Guo curved her lips. This guy was truly adorable. Even his love of money was adorable. It suited her taste perfectly.
Qin Jiu did not hesitate. “I’ll do it.”
He traveled everywhere anyway. Following a female ghost for twenty years was nothing. He would even gain an immortal sword. It was worth it. He was certain this was the only immortal sword in the human realm.
“Here, it’s yours.” Tang Guo casually tossed the immortal sword to Qin Jiu. He quickly caught it and stared at it for a long time. An immortal sword.
“Qin Jiu, you’re now hired by me. For these twenty years, you’ll help me handle matters. There are many things that aren’t convenient for me to do myself.”
“No problem,” Qin Jiu answered immediately.
She was the boss.
He stored the immortal sword away, planning to refine it when he had time. “Should we head straight to your home now?”
“Mm.” Tang Guo floated upward. Qin Jiu followed. Now that they were familiar, he spoke more. “How did you fall off the cliff?”
“I came here with a few friends to have fun. In the end, we fell into the hands of the villagers. If I hadn’t run, I would have had to bear children for those men and be trapped there for life.”
Tang Guo turned her head and smiled. “The roads weren’t familiar. As a young girl, how could I outrun them? With no choice, I ran up the mountain. When I reached that spot, they had already caught up.”
“Compared to being dragged back, I almost didn’t hesitate before jumping.”
“Sometimes living gives more hope, doesn’t it?”
Tang Guo’s lips curved in ridicule. “Look at the women in that village. Is that hope? That’s numbness and assimilation. Isn’t this better now? I took my revenge. I’m a powerful ghost. Even you can’t defeat me.”
Qin Jiu fell silent. He would not argue with a young female ghost.
He believed her identity was not simple.
She had a spirit bead and an immortal sword. She must have encountered some great opportunity. According to his earlier calculations, the village’s retribution should not have arrived so soon. At least it should have taken nearly twenty years.
The variable was this female ghost.
However, he had also calculated that the village’s retribution was not over. The second retribution would arrive at the time he had initially calculated. Beyond that, he could not see clearly. No one could fully pierce the secrets of heaven.
Just like this variable before him.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Tang Guo.”
According to her memory, Tang Guo told him her former home address.
Only by returning there could she find her family.
It had to be said that Qin Jiu handled things steadily. Soon, he brought her back to that familiar yet unfamiliar city and went to her home. Her family was well off. It was a villa within a villa community.
“They must have moved,” Qin Jiu said to comfort her. “It’s not hard to find someone nowadays. Do you remember their names and phone numbers?”
“I remember.” Tang Guo recited two mobile numbers.
Qin Jiu took out his phone and dialed. The call connected.
“Hello.”
“Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Tang?”
“Yes.”
Qin Jiu quickly explained the situation. The other side fell silent for a moment, then arranged a time to meet and discuss Tang Guo’s burial.
Tang Guo heard the silence on the phone and knew something was wrong.
Qin Jiu brought Tang Guo to an unfamiliar address. Seeing the even more luxurious villa before them, she was not surprised. After all, Tang Guo’s family background had always been excellent.
They contacted Father Tang and were invited into the villa by a servant.
