Chapter 474: The Reason to Risk One's Life

　　About an hour later.

　　Lu Fei and the others finally saw the people coming up the mountain to meet them; they wouldn't have to walk the rest of the way by themselves.

　　They were carried down the mountain and returned to the car.

　　"Honey, you're finally back!"

　　Luo Xingfa's wife embraced her husband, her haggard eyes brimming with tears.

　　"How is HaoHao?"

　　Luo Xingfa couldn't wait to look into the car.

　　The five-year-old boy turned around, more than half of the white hair on his head had turned black, but his little face was still very pale, looking as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

　　He blinked and softly called out to Luo Xingfa: "Dad."

　　"Good! Good..."

　　Luo Xingfa could no longer hold on and collapsed.

　　"Husband, husband, what's wrong..." Luo Xingfa's wife was terrified.

　　"It's okay, Mrs. Luo, he's just too tired, let him rest."

　　Lu Fei and Master Xiang exchanged a smile.

　　The weight in their hearts finally lifted completely.

　　The business van swayed as it drove back to Jiang City.

　　Back at the Sinisterium Pawnshop, Lu Fei went to sleep after washing up.

　　After a day and night of travel, he was indeed exhausted.

　　He slept until noon the next day.

　　When Hu Zi saw him get up, he hurriedly heated the food and brought it out.

　　"Boss, try this. How's the taste of the dish I just learned to cook?" Hu Zi was very excited and full of anticipation.

　　"You made this?"

　　Lu Fei was extremely surprised. He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, his face immediately turning grim.

　　"Hu Zi, if you want to poison me, just say so! Order takeout!"

　　"Was it that bad?"

　　Feeling very frustrated, after ordering takeout for Lu Fei, Hu Zi unwillingly gave the dishes to Xiao Hei.

　　"Xiao Hei, you're in luck! Most people can't even get to eat Brother Hu's cooking!"

　　But to his surprise, Xiao Hei shook his head after smelling it and ran to a corner of the yard to poop.

　　It was as if saying, "Your cooking is even worse than dog poop!"

　　"If you have the guts, then never eat again!"

　　Huzi's face was longer than a donkey's.

　　"Huzi, have you settled the tomb relocation? You finally decided to come back and take care of the shop!"

　　After eating, Lu Fei had Huzi brew a pot of tea.

　　"Boss, what are you talking about? My heart is always with the shop! Jian has found them a great feng shui spot. We're just waiting for the right day to start work, and I'll go help out then. When you do something, you should see it through, right?"

　　Huzi finished brewing the tea and took out his phone, tapping away on messages.

　　He would chuckle foolishly at times, and at other times he would sigh with a worried expression.

　　"Boss, what kind of man do girls really like?" he finally asked Lu Fei with worry.

　　"Why are you suddenly asking this question?"

　　Lu Fei stared at him suspiciously, thinking of his recent odd behavior, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

　　Could this guy have fallen for Liu Fugui's daughter?

　　That would really be a show to watch.

　　"It's nothing, just feeling that I'm not getting any younger and it's time to settle down. Forget it, Boss, you don't have any experience, asking you is useless." Hu Zi shook his head and picked up his phone again, tapping away on the screen.

　　Lu Fei curiously took a peek.

　　He found that Hu Zi was searching for things like: how to win a woman's heart.

　　Below were all kinds of unreliable answers.

　　"What use do you see in these? If they could get a girl, would they need to discuss it online?"

　　Lu Fei was serious.

　　"In my opinion, pursuing a girl is just like exorcising an evil spirit; you first need to understand her characteristics and preferences, then tailor your approach to suit those traits. That way, you won't fail to attract her attention, right?"

　　"That makes sense!" Hu Zi's eyes lit up with excitement, "Boss, since you are so knowledgeable, how come you are still single?"

　　"Cough, cough... That's because I choose to be..."

　　As they were talking.

　　A shadow flashed at the door, and someone came in.

　　It was Master Xiang and Luo Xingfa.

　　"Manager Lu, have you rested well?"

　　"I'm fine. Why didn't Mr. Luo take a few more days of rest?"

　　Lu Fei quickly got up to greet them.

　　"We took Hao Hao to the hospital for a checkup today. The doctor said it's almost a miracle. Although Hao Hao is still weak, his body condition is no longer like that of an elderly person. With proper care for some time, he will fully recover!"

　　Luo Xingfa placed a bunch of gifts on the table, his pale face full of gratitude.

　　"Manager Lu has been through thick and thin for my family's sake. I wanted to share this good news with you first, and also to express our gratitude as soon as possible."

　　"Mr. Luo, you are too kind." Lu Fei smiled, feeling happy for them as well.

　　Huzi made some tea.

　　The three of them sat down to talk.

　　"Actually, I didn't do much this time. It was all thanks to Manager Lu. Mr. Luo paid double the fee, but how could I accept it? Manager Lu worked hard, so you should take it." Master Xiang handed a thick envelope to Lu Fei.

　　"Master Xiang, there's no need to be so polite. If it weren't for you suppressing the yin energy in the child, he wouldn't have lasted that long." Lu Fei waved his hand, "I only need the evil object. As long as Mr. Luo pledges the mirror to me, that's enough."

　　"Exactly! That's why I came here. I heard that Sinisterium Pawnshop specializes in taking in evil objects!" Luo Xingfa nodded eagerly, "Manager Lu, how should I pledge it?"

　　"If you don't want to keep the mirror, choose a dead pawn."

　　Lu Fei took out the bronze mirror and the pawn ticket.

　　Luo Xingfa, of course, chose a dead pawn.

　　The receipt was made in duplicate, and Lu Fei paid a coin to Luo Xingfa, thus successfully completing the transaction.

　　The bronze mirror officially became Lu Fei's property.

　　Talking about the experience in the ancient tomb, Luo Xingfa felt as if he had been through a nightmare.

　　If it weren't for his personal experience, he would not have believed that such terrifying and bizarre things could exist in the world.

　　"Fortunately, there are people like Master Xiang and Shopkeeper Lu in the Xuanmen. Otherwise, ordinary people encountering such things would only end up with their families ruined."

　　Luo Xingfa expressed his gratitude for a while longer, but thinking of going home to see his children, he left first.

　　"Shopkeeper Lu, we have to take the evil object, and you must keep this money! Otherwise, how can I still have the face to be in the Xuanmen?"

　　Master Xiang insisted on giving half of the reward to Lu Fei.

　　Lu Fei, unable to refuse, accepted it.

　　The total amount was three hundred thousand.

　　"Manager Lu, to be honest, my talents are limited. I can handle ordinary feng shui and minor supernatural incidents, but anything a bit more challenging is beyond my capabilities." Master Xiang sighed deeply.

　　"Master Xiang, why do you undervalue yourself? You are already very skilled. Last time at the Ruby Tower, it was just a matter of lacking a bit of luck," Lu Fei said sincerely, "Actually, with your current abilities, isn't it good enough to take on ordinary jobs and enjoy a peaceful retirement?"

　　"If not for some pressing reasons, who would still be working so hard at this age?"

　　Master Xiang shook his head bitterly, seemingly unwilling to say more.

　　"I'm not saying this to complain to Manager Lu. I want to buy a treasure at Sinisterium Pawnshop."

　　"What kind of treasure?" Lu Fei asked, a bit puzzled.

　　"A treasure that can enhance cultivation or deal with malevolent spirits! I have a few magical instruments, but they are all ordinary and can only handle minor supernatural beings. When it comes to more powerful ones, they are ineffective."

　　Master Xiang smiled awkwardly.

　　"This time, I witnessed the power of Manager Lu's magical instruments, so, I am embarrassed to ask Manager Lu for one."

　　"Do you have something suitable here, Manager Lu?"
