Chapter 23

After all, encountering ghosts was the kind of thing that happened either zero times or countless times. Once someone opened their Yin-Yang Eyes, ghosts could easily become attached to them afterward. Feng Yang did not want Yin Li's friends to get hurt because of this. He did not want to see Yin Li sad.

"X University starts on September 3rd. I'll report three days early." After pondering for a moment, Feng Yang said, "As for the Evil-Repelling Talismans, tell me how many people you have over there. Once I finish drawing them, I'll express them to you."

Hearing Feng Yang's words, Yin Li obediently began counting heads. His gaze swept over the group of internet celebrities and young models looking at him eagerly, and he hesitated for a moment. "Feng Yang, does drawing talismans consume a great deal of your effort and energy? Will it have any harmful effects on your body?"

"Of course not." Feng Yang chuckled. He did not know any spells at all. He merely copied down the runes from the Vengeful Ghost Talisman and infused them with a trace of soul power, which was enough to drive away ghosts and repel evil.

Put simply, any evil entity below the level of a Vengeful Ghost would automatically avoid anyone carrying the talisman once it sensed the aura on it. This was the intimidation that high-level ghosts exerted over low-level ghosts. As for Merit Golden Light, even Feng Yang himself did not have much of such rare spiritual power. He thought there was barely enough to help Yin Li defy fate and change his destiny, so naturally he would not waste it on others.

That was good!

Yin Li relaxed inwardly, picked up his phone, and hid in the bathroom. In a tiny voice, he mentioned those internet celebrities and young models.

"I don't know them at all. I hadn't even met them before. My friends only invited them at the last minute to fill out the gathering. I just think that the reason they saw ghosts was probably because they got dragged into this by me."

Yin Li hesitated, unable to speak. He simply felt uneasy about it. He could not bring himself to abandon those girls.

Feng Yang was not surprised by Yin Li's thoughts.

Even in his previous life, after suffering death by dismemberment and torture, the Vengeful Ghost would still occasionally help weaker ghosts fulfill their wishes after becoming the Ghost King. Although the Vengeful Ghost always claimed he was doing it to earn Merit Golden Light, Feng Yang could still tell whether a ghost was sincerely helping another ghost or had ulterior motives.

Even the Vengeful Ghost, who had endured the cruelest treatment, could still feel compassion for weaker ghosts. Let alone Yin Li, who had never suffered such terrifying experiences and still treated others with sincerity and kindness.

Feng Yang said, "Count them all up and send me the number."

Yin Li's eyes lit up. "Two hundred thousand per talisman. Payment in full, all at once."

He could not let their Feng Yang take a loss. Besides, he had seen Feng Yang's Vengeful Ghost Talismans. Something so useful was far more valuable than the scribbles those fake masters used to swindle people. Two hundred thousand per talisman was already a discounted price.

Seeing Yin Li's eager expression, as though asking for praise, Feng Yang smiled. "Whatever you say."

After hanging up, Feng Yang looked at his parents and older brother. That call with Yin Li had reminded him of something.

In his previous life, Feng Yang's family had been destroyed, and he had been left utterly alone, with nothing tying him down. But this life was different. His parents and older brother were still alive! To ensure that his entire family could live free of illness and disaster and die peacefully of old age in this lifetime, Feng Yang felt that he should get them protective talismans too.

Unfortunately, he had too little Merit Golden Light!

At that thought, Feng Yang suddenly remembered Su Nan, whose Merit Golden Light was so abundant that even a casual rescue could earn him an apple-sized reward!

As expected, the child of destiny was different!

At the very moment Feng Yang was sighing over how fortunate the reborn male lead was, Su Nan was also watching the video of Feng Yang saving people.

He was completely baffled. The Feng Yang in his memories was not like this. How could that bastard—ungrateful, fickle, someone who had promised to be with him but ultimately abandoned him to marry a woman—possibly be the righteous hero in the video who had saved so many people?

Thinking of how the first person Feng Yang had saved was the eldest daughter of Beijing's Yin Corporation, Su Nan sneered repeatedly. He felt that he had found the reason.

Perhaps Feng Yang had been reborn too. The reason he saved Yin Qing was definitely because he wanted to latch onto the Yin family.

Otherwise, how could one explain a Songjiang native like Feng Yang suddenly running to A City, thousands of miles away, and just happening to encounter the Yin family's eldest daughter after she had been kidnapped by human traffickers?

So you really are still that petty man who chases profit and only knows how to live off women!

The video froze on a close-up of Feng Yang's excessively handsome face. Su Nan gripped the mouse tightly, his emotions a tangled mess.

In this life, he had to live better than Feng Yang.

He would make Feng Yang understand that abandoning him and choosing another woman was the most regrettable decision Feng Yang had ever made.

Chapter 23

The first thing Feng Jianguo and his wife did after returning to Songjiang City was arrange a graduation banquet for their son. The venue was the banquet hall on the top floor of their own hotel. They set up a total of thirty-six tables. Besides family and friends, the guests included Feng Yang's high school teachers and the classmates he had been close to.

Feng Yang had to write the final batch of invitations himself.

However, Feng Yang had lived in seclusion with the Vengeful Ghost for over twenty years in his previous life. He had long forgotten such trivial matters as which classmates he had been close to in high school.

With no other choice, Feng Yang sent two messages in the group chat. Whoever wanted to come could come!

After sending two utterly halfhearted group messages, Feng Yang took a taxi to Antique Street and bought several stacks of talisman paper and a bottle of cinnabar. The owner of the curio shop recognized Feng Yang as the rescue hero who had recently become popular online and gave him a twenty percent discount.

He was just curious what Feng Yang needed talisman paper and cinnabar for.

Feng Yang had no interest in answering questions. After buying the cinnabar and talisman paper, he drew thirteen Evil-Repelling Talismans that night according to Yin Li's needs. He had planned to send them by express delivery to Yin Li the next morning, but he had not expected Yin Li to come over with his friends instead.

After repeatedly encountering ghosts, Yin Li was still scared out of his wits despite having the protection of the Vengeful Ghost Talismans. After thinking it over, he simply packed himself up and flew to Songjiang City, conveniently helping his childhood friends collect their Evil-Repelling Talismans as well.

When his friends learned that Yin Li was going to see a master, they clung to his pant legs and followed him over. Thus, on the day Feng Jianguo and his wife held their son's graduation banquet, five or six wealthy second-generation heirs from Beijing suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The Feng family's business partners even began speculating whether the Feng family had latched onto Yin Corporation and was preparing to expand into Beijing.
