Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Zhan Juzhou drove alone, with YoYo in tow, and caught up with Yang Qianxue's car.

After many twists and turns, Yang Qianxue's car stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.

Zhan Juzhou found it strange that Yang Qianxue was praying to gods and Buddhas; hadn't she always believed in science?

Moreover, the temple's eaves were covered in cobwebs and it was dilapidated, clearly indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time. There wasn't even a single monk present; how could anyone pray to the gods and Buddhas?

"Third Uncle, stop thinking about it, you won't figure it out, hurry up and get off the bus."

Yoyo unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and jumped out.

Zhan Juzhou realized what was happening and quickly got out of the car, picking up the little dumpling to feel safe.

A cold wind blew by, and Zhan Juzhou shivered.

"Oh my, is there a ghost here?"

"Yes."

Zhan Juzhou swallowed hard. He wanted to run away, but running away like this would be too embarrassing in front of YoYo.

“Third Uncle, let’s go and see,” YoYo said.

"Okay." Zhan Juzhou carried Yoyo, walked to the door, and looked inside.

Inside the temple, dust swirled, and in the very center stood a tall Buddha statue. Yang Qianxue was kneeling on a soft cushion on the ground, her movements fluid, practiced, and natural.

It's obvious that she comes here often.

"By the Buddha and Gods above, I would like to ask if Huang Qiyi and Qu Xiqian are, as I suspect, already together?"

After asking the question, Yang Qianxue stared intently at the plaque in front of the mat.

Suddenly, a traditional Chinese character appeared on the unremarkable plaque in front of the mat: 是 (shì).

Yang Qianxue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he expected, they got together. So what was he? What did everything he had done for Huang Qiyi mean?

He said his dream is to become a movie star and be the person that everyone in the industry worships.

Given Huang Qiyi's family background, he could have easily won the Best Actor award by leveraging his family's influence.

However, in the past two years, the winner has not been Huang Qiyi, but Zhan Juzhou.

Yang Qianxue then took Huang Qiyi's birth date and time to have his fortune told.

The calculated destiny indicates an ordinary and unremarkable life, and the title of Best Actor has absolutely no connection to him.

Six months ago, by chance, Yang Qianxue discovered this abandoned temple and met the "Buddha".

In order to fulfill Huang Qiyi's dream and make him treat her differently, she agreed to the "Buddha's" request. She gave it yang energy, and it helped her to secretly change Huang Qiyi's fate in Zhan Juzhou.

Now, Huang Qiyi treats him this way, ruthlessly ignoring his love for her, even trampling it underfoot.

But if he knew what he was doing for him now, he would thank her.

Zhan Juzhou was completely baffled. "What is she doing?"

"Third Uncle, she's changing your fate, transferring it to that neighbor Uncle Huang, and then everything about you becomes his," the little dumpling said in a childish voice.

"Will I die?" Zhan Juzhou was most concerned about his own life and death.

As long as you're alive, everything is fine.

"Yes." The little girl nodded her head.

These words made Zhan Juzhou scratch his head in frustration. He was still so young; he didn't want to die.

"Buddha, the day of the Best Actor selection is approaching, and Zhan Juzhou's fate seems to have remained unchanged. When will Zhan Juzhou's spot be transferred to Huang Qiyi?" Yang Qianxue asked anxiously.

A clear, ethereal voice emanated from the Buddha statue, saying, "This is a difficult matter. Recently, a person with a convergence of purple and golden light has appeared around Zhan Juzhou. This person will not only bring good fortune to Zhan Juzhou, but will also disrupt the magnetic field near him, interfering with my spellcasting and rendering the ring you gave him as a medium ineffective."

Zhan Juzhou raised his hand and looked at the ring on his index finger. It was a gift from Yang Qianxue when he was named Best Actor last year.

No matter what, Tracy Yeung was her manager who had been with her all along, so she would give her some face. Therefore, she always wore the ring on her hand. Little did she know that it would become a tool for Tracy Yeung to harm her.

Zhan Juzhou threw the ring away, like a grenade, and threw it a long way.

"Who is that?" Yang Qianxue asked.

"That's what I should be asking you."

Yang Qianxue remained silent, seemingly wondering what new people had been around Zhan Juzhou recently.

But apart from his little niece, she couldn't think of a second one.

"There is only one way to change one's destiny before the selection process begins."

"What method?" Yang Qianxue asked anxiously.

"kill him!"

"What?" Yang Qianxue was shocked.

……

Yang Qianxue walked out of the temple, her hands trembling, her mind replaying the words the Buddha had spoken to her.

When Zhan Juzhou and Youyou saw Yang Qianxue come out, Youyou quickly threw an invisibility talisman into the car, and then she and Zhan Juzhou hid behind a tree.

Yang Qianxue got into the car in a daze and drove away after a while.

Seeing Yang Qianxue leave, Yoyo ran into the temple without saying a word.

Zhan Juzhou followed behind.

Looking up at the tall Buddha statue with its little head tilted back, it suddenly stretched out its chubby little hand and shouted in a cute but fierce voice, "Ghost, show yourself now!"

The ghost hidden inside the Buddha statue suddenly opened its eyes when it heard that someone had seen through its true identity. It looked down at the little creature below and frowned.

Who exactly is this little one, and how does she know I'm a ghost?

However, it would never admit that it had been disguised inside this Buddha statue for over a year and had made deals with countless humans.

No one noticed it was fake. How could a child possibly notice? He must have misheard.

"How dare you! I am a Buddha or deity! Do you know that offending a Buddha or deity will bring back negative consequences!"

“You’re fake.” The little guy didn’t give him any face and exposed him on the spot.

"You..." Gui Gui was so angry that she didn't know how to keep up the act anymore.

"Tell me, are you going to come out on your own, or do you want me to chop you out?"

The little guy said this with style as he drew the peach wood sword from his back and pointed it at Gui Gui. She was small, but she was both domineering and cute.

Zhan Juzhou, who was scared just now, straightened his back when he saw the little guy exuding domineering aura. He was no longer afraid of anything, because he had his precious little niece backing him up.

Gui Gui was taken aback. A peach wood sword? It seemed this child was a little Taoist priest who caught ghosts.

Tch, he's just a lowly Taoist priest. A few years ago, he was a ghost that was chased by an old Taoist priest, but he was still shaken off by himself.

Thinking of this, Gui Gui became even more smug.

"Little brat, I advise you to stay out of this, or I'll drain your life force!"

Hearing Gui Gui's outrageous remarks, the little guy didn't say anything, but took out a lightning talisman from his bag and threw it at the Buddha statue.

"Ah~"

With a scream, Gui Gui fell from the Buddha statue, lying on the ground, convulsing.

Yo-yo ran over with a "da-da-da" sound, picked up the ghost from the ground with one hand, and looked it over with her big, blinking eyes.

Huh, what kind of ghost is this? Oh, I remember now, it's a spirit-eating ghost. It was recorded in the book "Record of a Hundred Ghosts" that my master gave me.

Qi-eating ghosts feed on the yang energy of humans. After consuming a certain amount, their spirits can become stronger, allowing them to advance to higher-level ghosts, eventually becoming evil ghosts or even the highest-level ghost kings.
