Max Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey…?
Chapter 610: Are You Okay Today?

Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Are You Okay Today?

It seemed as if something was repeatedly smashing against the ground.

Upon hearing this sound, both Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei stiffened, feeling as if their hair was standing on end.

Unable to contain herself, Mrs. Wei leaned closer to Mr. Wei, her voice quivering and tinged with a crying tone, "Honey, what, what is that sound?"

Mr. Wei was also startled and tried to appear calm as he asked, "Master Zhu, is that, is that noise coming from you?"

It wasn’t me," said Zhu Ming, shattering Mr. Wei’s last hope.

As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Wei heard this, their breath caught in their throats.

In the midst of a strange silence, as the pounding sounds continued, both of their hearts raced.

They could hear each other’s heartbeats.

"Then, then what’s going on?" Mrs. Wei huddled fearfully behind Mr. Wei, feeling as if a cold breeze had passed over her back, making her scalp tingle. "Master Zhu Ming, what, what exactly did you do? Did you summon something unclean?"

Hearing Mrs. Wei’s words, Zhu Ming’s face darkened as he slowly drew out his Copper Coin Sword.

Looking into the surrounding darkness, he cautioned, "Nobody talk."

Mr. and Mrs. Wei were completely confused about the situation in front of them and dared not utter a word.

Fearing they might attract something filthy.

Zhu Ming carefully tried to pinpoint the source of the pounding sounds.

"Thud—"

"Thud—"

The sound of something hitting the ground seemed to grow closer and closer.

At the same time, there was a loud bang, as if a window had been blown open by the wind.

In the next second, a cold wind struck them from behind.

Zhu Ming instinctively turned around, raising the sword in his hand and thrusting it toward the source of the disturbance.

But in the darkness, it seemed as if something like a burlap sack was enveloping him.

...

In the middle of the night.

Jiangli and Xia Xin, as usual, dealt with the free fortune-telling slot issue and then each returned to their rooms to rest.

Jiangli seemed unaware of anything amiss, and by the middle of the night, Jian Lewei had returned.

She had gone home to meet her parents, who initially thought that everything that happened before was just their imagination, but eventually had to accept the fact that she was already dead.

The family wept together, their sorrow inextricable.

However, Jian Lewei remembered her promise to Jiangli and thus returned at the agreed-upon time.

After Jiangli collected Jian Lewei’s soul into the Soul Nurturing Talisman, she went to rest.

That night, she slept soundly, as if nothing had happened.

Sleeping until she woke naturally.

When she got up in the morning, she cheerfully took Xia Xin and Fu’er to attend the morning rituals.

First thing in the morning, Xia Xin noticed that their ancestor was in a particularly good mood, and sneakily observed Jiangli several times, unable to contain his curiosity, "Ancestor, is something good going to happen today? You seem very happy..."

"Of course I’m happy, someone is soon going to bring us money," Jiangli hummed twice, humming an archaic tune, and then headed to the side hall.

Xia Xin grew even more curious about who Jiangli was referring to.

But he didn’t dare to ask.

After all, whatever the ancestor said was always right; asking or not didn’t matter.

With this in mind, Xia Xin contentedly went to prepare breakfast.

However, in this vast world, most people’s experiences each day are much the same, ordinary and uneventful.

But for some, the events that occur within a single day are far from common.

While everything at Jiaoyang Temple was business as usual, Shang Junxiao, just like every other day, went to the office early to check-in.

They had a group advertisement shoot scheduled that day.

The company had notified them to come early for a gathering.

But today, as soon as Shang Junxiao entered the company, he saw that the expressions of his colleagues were off.

Especially a few people who were quite familiar with Shang Junxiao, upon seeing him, they avoided eye contact and awkwardly moved away.

This left Shang Junxiao completely baffled.

What had happened?

With a mind full of questions, Shang Junxiao took the elevator.

Luckily, he bumped into Brother Song in the elevator.

Brother Song didn’t show much of a reaction upon seeing him.

"Morning, Brother Song," greeted Shang Junxiao as he entered, nodding to him.

But Brother Song gave him several probing glances.

After a moment, Shang Junxiao heard Brother Song ask him, "Junxiao, are you alright today?"
