The beloved is reborn as a substitute, and the tyrant begs for forgiveness every night.

"Please take your leave now. We may not meet again today, but we will meet again tomorrow."

After he spoke, the onlookers grumbled but dispersed.

They also had doubts about this master who had suddenly appeared.

It just so happens that the fortunes of the people the master had examined earlier were all correctly predicted.

Furthermore, the Jiang family is backing them up.

The common people were superstitious, so they naturally believed him.

Seeing that everyone had left, the master's face was full of smiles as he spoke to Pearl.

"Please go first, young lady."

Upon hearing the master's words, Zhu'er nodded without hesitation and turned to walk into the restaurant next door.

The restaurant she entered was the largest inn in the vicinity.

The master had already investigated the situation here and knew that the cost of living here was not low.

Therefore, when he saw Zhu'er walk directly into the restaurant, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

It seems he really wasn't wrong; this is truly a fat sheep.

The master looked pleased with himself and followed Pearl inside.

Pearl is already negotiating with the shopkeeper.

"Manager, I know my request is a bit abrupt, but I really have something important to discuss, which is why I'm asking you to spare a private room."

Hearing Zhu'er's polite words, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

Logically speaking, private rooms are reserved in advance, so what Zhu'er did was indeed against the rules.

However, the shopkeeper was aware of what was happening outside.

Then the master walked in again.

The shopkeeper finally relented.

"Alright, alright, since you've already asked, I'll give you one of the private rooms that Jiang has reserved for you today."

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

A smile appeared on Pearl's face, and then she placed two more silver ingots as a deposit.

Seeing her casually pull out two silver ingots, the shopkeeper felt a sense of competition.

If she weren't a young lady from a wealthy family, how could she be so generous?

Compared to the most prosperous areas of the capital, this place is naturally incomparable.

This place is mostly inhabited by ordinary people, so naturally they are not the kind of people who would be so generous.

Nowadays, money is very valuable.

Thinking about all this, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face.

"Miss, let me have the waiter take you upstairs."

Pearl nodded, and then a waiter led the way.

Pearl glanced at the master, who then discreetly followed.

After entering the private room, Zhu'er casually ordered a few dishes and then tossed the menu to the chef.

The master didn't stand on ceremony and added a few more dishes.

"Since you have something to say, please speak freely."

The master spoke to Pearl with a degree of politeness.

Pearl nodded, then looked distressed.

"To be honest, Master, I'm afraid I've recently developed hysteria."

As soon as Zhu'er spoke, surprise flashed in the master's eyes.

He carefully examined the pearl.

But Zhu'er had red lips and white teeth, and a bright forehead; she didn't look like someone suffering from hysteria at all.

Having traveled extensively over the years, the master believes he has met quite a few people.

He had even witnessed some of the cases of those suffering from hysteria.

But who is as clear-headed and insightful as Pearl?

"You must be joking, young lady."

The master thought she was still testing him, so he waved his hand.

"If you have any questions for me, then please speak frankly. If you are just trying to play a trick on me, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, and seeing the master's righteous and indignant demeanor, one could see that...

If Pearl hadn't been prepared, she probably would have been fooled too.

“I’m not a con artist. Lately, I’ve been feeling like there’s someone else talking in my head. It’s a young girl who keeps talking to me about revenge and not revenge. I’m really terrified these days.”

As she spoke, Pearl burst into tears.

"I thought that seeing a doctor and taking medicine would make me better, but the doctor prescribed medicine and I took that bitter and nauseating medicine every day, but it didn't work at all."

Hearing Xiao Zhu's explanation and seeing the pained expression on her face, the master began to believe her somewhat.

He then put on the airs of a wise and enlightened master.

The master calculated with his fingers, then carefully examined the pearl, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Looking at her like that, Pearl couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After all, this was a lie she and Xu Leyao had agreed upon beforehand.

Could it be that this master in front of me really has some skill and can see through these matters of ghosts and gods?

Just as she was hesitating, the master's words put Pearl at ease.

"I was not careful enough in my observation just now. Now it seems that the dark color on the young lady's forehead does indeed indicate that she is possessed by evil spirits."

Looking at the Taoist priest's serious expression, Zhu'er chuckled inwardly.

Pearl was unaware of what was happening elsewhere.

But how could she not know whether someone was speaking in her head?

However, now is not the best time to expose this old Taoist.

Zhu'er then feigned a look of fear and asked the old Taoist priest.

"So, according to the master's advice, what should I do now?"

Seeing that Zhu'er was completely at a loss, the master became even more smug.

In just a few words, the girl was terrified.

It seems that with a little more manipulation, the money could easily end up in my pocket.

The master thought to himself, and a hint of smugness unconsciously showed on his face.

Pearl watched coldly but did not expose it.

She was now somewhat curious about how this master was going to "cure" her.

The old Taoist priest had Zhu'er sit in a chair, and then began to wander around her.

At the same time, he took out a stick of incense from the incense burner he was carrying and stuck it in.

As soon as it was lit, the fragrance of the incense spread freely.

Smelling the fragrance, Pearl was somewhat puzzled.

Then, as the old Taoist priest walked, he muttered words that Pearl couldn't understand.

Pearl didn't interrupt him, but obediently closed her eyes, pretending to be obedient.

Seeing Zhu'er like this, the old Taoist priest became even more satisfied.

"This is truly a fat sheep delivered to our door!"

As he walked, he mentally calculated how much he should extort from the other person.

After a while, just when Pearl felt she was about to fall asleep, the old Taoist suddenly shouted.

"Demons and evil spirits, begone at once!"

His shout startled Pearl awake.

Seeing that Zhu'er was about to open her eyes, the old Taoist hurriedly picked up the tea on the table and splashed it on his face.

Then, he carefully put the teacup back.

When Pearl woke up, she saw that he was covered in sweat.

“Girl, the evil spirit that was with you has left.”

Upon hearing these words, Pearl looked at him with a face full of surprise.
