Seeing that she had agreed, Secretary Wang felt happy in his heart, “Then I’ll bother you, Master. By the way, Mr. Xu is lingering on his sickbed, and we are very worried about his health. In order to solve this matter as soon as possible, we not only invited you, but also invited several others, please forgive me.

“But rest assured, regardless of whether this matter is resolved or not, we will give you 1,000,000 yuan for your hard work.”

An Rugu nodded slightly, “No problem.”

Although there was a rule in the metaphysics world that matters should not be labored over, she could understand the anxiety of people who were facing serious illness.

What’s more, the last time Zhang Ling’s family asked for help to deal with Shang Yue, the total compensation was only 1,000,000, and now it’s 1,o00,000 just to go on a trip… The treatment was indeed very good.

“Then we invite you to a banquet at five o’clock this afternoon at Mr. Xu’s Star Hotel.”

An Rugu raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn’t expect this manner of lavishness, holding a banquet just to meet those who could cure him. She simply hummed agreement and said, “Okay.”

After Secretary Wang left, An Rugu rummaged through her wardrobe.

Her wardrobe was very monotonous. Summer clothes were all short-sleeved shirts and trousers, and the colors were almost uniformly black and gray.

An Rugu randomly picked a shirt with some green pattern on it; this was the brightest color in her wardrobe.

The shirt was embroidered with green bamboo, and the pattern climbed all the way to the neckline. After putting on the shirt, the An Rugu looked a bit wild and uninhibited.

That afternoon, she took a bus to the Star Hotel in the center of Nancheng City. Xu Han’s business was in the hotel industry, with hotel chains located here at home and abroad.

The hotel towered into the sky, with a luxurious appearance, bright lights, exquisite decoration, and many attendants standing outside the door.

An Rugu handed over the invitation that Secretary Wang gave to her. The attendant nodded and raised his hand to gesture this way, “Please come in.”

Just as she was about to step into the room, there was a sudden noise behind her. When she looked up, she saw that a young man was having an argument with one of the attendants for some reason.

This man was about 23 or 24 years old. He had an ordinary appearance. His skin was a little pimply, and his face was as red as a tomato, as if he was angry about something.

He suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the attendant’s face, and said viciously, “I am the person invited by your boss, why won’t you let me in?”

The attendant felt embarrassed but kept a polite smile on his face, “Sorry, there is only one banquet being held here today, and you must bring an invitation to enter. If you don’t have an invitation, I can’t let you in.”

“I can solve your boss’s problem. I.. I just forgot to bring my invitation!”

“I’m sorry, but you really can’t enter without an invitation.”

“What about her? Why can she enter?” The man suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at An Rugu.

When he saw An Ru’s cold face, his hands stopped, and deep malice emerged in his heart. She was so beautiful, she must be accompanying someone to the hotel.

The attendant had no choice but to say, “This is a distinguished guest invited by our boss.”

“Hahaha, I think she’s here to have drinks with your boss!”

When the attendant saw that he had insulted the distinguished guest, his face became dark, and he directly extended his hand to show this uninvited person out with an attitude that could not be refused, “Please leave immediately, or we will call the police.”

Seeing that he was not getting through the attendant, the man stamped his feet and cursed loudly, “You guys are looking down on others! Don’t bully young people just because we are poor! You will regret this!”

Then he walked away glaring at everyone, his back looking menacing.

An Rugu glanced across the young man’s face. This person’s secrets were obscured to her. She couldn’t see the lines of his fate clearly, which meant that he should be a cultivator and he should have his own abilities.

It was only that there was a faint evil spirit surrounding his body. The aura around him had strange fluctuations, and even the surrounding air was distorted by it.

Strange, so strange.

The man’s back was already far away. An Rugu collected her thoughts and followed the attendant’s guidance to the lobby.

… …

She came relatively late, and there were already more than tens of people in the hall who had come early. These people were old and young, Daoist priests, some monks… just to name a few.

As soon as she walked in, everyone looked at her more or less with a trace of confusion and suspicion.

The metaphysical circle was not that big—the upper metaphysical circle even smaller. The people Mr. Xu invited today were all well-known people. They had met each other before and could even be said to be familiar with each other. As for An Rugu, she was a completely new face.

Everyone looked at each other; which family did this person come from and with what ability? How come we’ve never seen her before?

An Rugu was bathed in everyone’s curious gazes, but the expression on her face remained calm. She went straight to find an empty seat to sit down.

The waiter asked, “Miss, what drink would you like?”

“Do you have Junshan Silver Needle tea?”

“Okay, I’ll bring it to you right away.”

The young man next to her looked at An Rugu for a long time, his eyes wide, “You are… Miss An from Cloud Rise Temple?”

It was obviously a question, but his tone was very sure.

The man was in his twenties, with smooth eyebrows and slightly drooping eyelids. He looked like a restless little animal in the forest, still with an immature look. There were compasses and other equipment in front of him, and they were all for feng shui.

An Rugu was a little surprised. She thought that no one would know her here, and she didn’t expect that someone would be able to tell her identity. She nodded, “Yes, I am.”

When others heard this, they were even more confused. There were many well-known Daoist temples across the country, but they had never heard of the name ‘Cloud Rise’ temple. There was only one possibility: Cloud Rise Temple was a small Daoist temple in the mountains and forests.

This event was very much like a medical consultation. It was as if they had all come from major well-known hospitals and were ready to give a diagnosis. As it turned out, the patient had also invited a doctor with no professional leg to stand on and asked her to compete with them on the same stage.

Thinking about this, they were a little impatient. They felt that Mr. Xu had no vision and the person he invited did not match their status at all, which was a bit of a loss of face for them.

At any rate, she must be born into a feng shui family like young Lin Chuji.

… …

At this time, Lin Chuji was very pleasantly surprised to meet An Rugu here and excitedly asked, “I heard that you arrested Fang Ruoshui, how did you do it?”

Other people: “!!!”
