Chapter 633: The Sinister Presence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Master Ye, frustrated after losing a chess piece to Ye Nanshen, became even more irritable when he heard the butler’s report about the arrival of a high monk.
“Just let him come, do I have to welcome him? Whoever invited him should do the greeting,” said Old Master Ye.
While speaking, Ye Nanshen strategically placed another chess piece, blocking Old Master Ye’s move.
Old Master Ye huffed in annoyance.
The butler continued, “The monk said he wasn’t invited by anyone from our family. He came on his own after sensing something amiss here. Master, should we send him away?”
“Amiss? How come only he senses something amiss? I’m done playing; I don’t want to play with you anymore, you disrespectful rascal. Rong Qi, your turn.” “Me?” Rong Qi pointed at herself, shaking her head, “No, no, I’m not playing.” “I told you to play, so play! Stop dilly-dallying!” Old Master Ye pushed Ye Nanshen away, insisting Rong Qi take his place.
Rong Qi clung to Ye Nanshen’s arm, “I really don’t want to play.”
Ye Nanshen responded, “Did you hear that? My wife said she doesn’t want to play chess. Take the board away.”
Though Old Master Ye protested, he eventually had the servants remove the chessboard.
“No fun,” he grumbled. “Let’s go see that bald monk. I want to see how he tricks people with his sorcery.”
!!..
Rong Qi was eager to join, “I’ll come too.”
She stood up, following Ye Nanshen and Old Master Ye.
In the front courtyard, a monk was being received by Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu.
“High monk, did you truly sense an ominous presence in our house?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked.
Madam Liu, looking pale and weak, added, “I heard from the servants that this monk is quite powerful. There was a family with a situation similar to ours, and it was only after his intervention that they all recovered.”
“Is it really that miraculous?” asked Mrs. Ye Sr.
“Yes, indeed. The servant who went out to meet him even saw the monk scaling walls effortlessly. It’s rare to see such abilities these days. He must be highly skilled,” said Madam Liu.
Hearing this, Mrs. Ye Sr. felt reassured and greeted the monk respectfully.
“I am Crescent, a disciple of Master Zenith from Cloudsurf Temple,” the monk introduced himself.
“Ah, you’re Master Zenith’s disciple. Welcome,” Mrs. Ye Sr. greeted him with a bow.
“Master Crescent, please, can you determine what is plaguing our house?” asked Mrs. Ye Sr.
Master Crescent, holding a compass-like instrument, followed its needle before it settled in one direction.
“Eastward, there lurks an evil spirit. It has been troubling your house recently, and it’s the cause of your poor health, Madam.”
Mrs. Ye Sr., having witnessed the crows over the eastern villas, believed his words immediately.
“Can this evil spirit be removed?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked.
Master Crescent hesitated, retracting the compass, “It can be removed, naturally. However, there is someone more sinister than the evil spirit protecting that place, making it difficult to approach..”
