Chapter 1472: So Difficult to Do Business Nowadays

Ning Shu: ...
Why was it so difficult to do business nowadays?
Finally, Ning Shu got her first gig, that was, a child that was crying at night. A child about five months old would weep heart-wrenchingly all night long.
It was a lost soul.
Ning Shu took a pair of chopsticks and stuck them into a bowl full of water. She then asked the child’s relatives to call the child’s name along the road near their home.
After working for a good while, Ning Shu had a sumptuous meal at the host’s house. Before leaving, they gave her some money.
Ning Shu used the money to get on a long-distance coach and went to H city.
H city was a big city with many skyscrapers. As soon as Ning Shu got off the bus, she felt that her clothes were out of place here.
One look was enough to tell that she was a country bumpkin. Ning Shu didn’t care, though. She took out the address her master gave her, directly called a taxi, and asked the driver to take her there.
The taxi took her to a posh area. Ning Shu was stopped by the security guards at the gates and couldn’t get in at all. Moreover, she had no money to pay for the taxi.
Life was so hard.
Ning Shu said to the security guard, “Hello, I’m looking for Mr. Xie Weiming. Please inform him that I’m Tao Cheng’s apprentice.”
The security guard looked Ning Shu up and down. She was dressed in worn-out clothes and was carrying a cloth bag. On top of that, her shoes were stained with yellow dirt. She didn’t seem to be a person related to the gentry living here.
Ning Shu naturally saw the examination and disdain in the eyes of the security guard and said, “I’m here on business. If you delay Mr. Xie’s affairs, you may not be able to keep your job. You should make a phone call and ask. It’s not as if it takes much effort.”
The security guard slowly made the call.
Ning Shu stood there waiting and said to the taxi driver, “Wait a little, please. Someone will pay you soon.”
The taxi driver rolled his eyes. He had no choice but to wait.
After the security guard called, a middle-aged man came out, his eyebrows filled with worry and anxiety.
His brows were locked tight.
Before he even came near, Ning Shu felt some Yin energy on his body, which made him look gloomy and without spirit.
“Didn’t your master come?” Xie Weiming saw that Ning Shu was the only one, and he became a little disappointed. When he saw her rustic straight bangs, which made her look even younger, he was even more disappointed.
Ning Shu said, “Mr. Xie, help me pay the fare. I have no money.”
Xie Weiming did as asked and said to the security guard, “Don’t stop her in the future.”
He then took Ning Shu to the villa. As soon as they stepped inside the living room, Ning Shu felt as if the villa was full of baleful energy.
She took out talisman paper and handed one to Xie Weiming, “Keep this on you.”
Xie Weiming said thanks and tucked the paper talisman in his pocket.
Who knew if it was a psychological effect, but Xie Weiming felt his head turning clear, and he wasn’t so tired anymore.
“Little Daoist, go and see my son first,” said Xie Weiming to Ning Shu anxiously.
Ning Shu nodded and was led by Xie Weiming to his son’s room. The door was covered with talismans.
Ning Shu frowned. The use of each kind of talisman paper was different, so it was easy to create even more of a mess by sticking it on blindly like this.
“Tear the talismans off the door,” said Ning Shu.
Xie Weiming instantly tore the paper talismans before Ning Shu opened the door. Immediately, she felt a gust of cold air going straight into her body, giving her goosebumps. A strange smell permeated the room.
The room was dark. The windows were closed, and the curtains blocked the light.
It took quite a while for Ning Shu to get used to this kind of darkness. She gave the room a cursory glance. The walls, the furniture, the bed, any place that could be covered with talismans was covered.
A young man was tied to the bed. His face was pale, but his lips were blue, and he had a heavy blackness between his eyebrows.
His life energy was completely suppressed by the air of death. If she had arrived just a little later, he would probably already be done for.
