Nodding helplessly, Lu Miao said, “Understood.”

The strong wind howled throughout the night, accompanied by occasional lightning and thunder, but surprisingly, it didn’t rain.

The next afternoon, as Lu Miao walked out of school, a figure that had been waiting for a while approached her.

“Boss, over here.”

Lu Miao walked towards him. “You personally came to find me. Is it related to last night’s incident?”

To avoid exposing their identities, she had specifically told Lin Bufan to avoid coming to find her, as they usually communicated through WeChat. “Boss, you’re brilliant,” Lin Bufan chuckled and opened the door beside him.

Lu Miao got into the car.

Lin Bufan turned to the driver’s seat, started the engine, and pressed the accelerator.

“It’s an urgent situation. The people from the Municipal Bureau of Supernatural Affairs personally came to find me. They’ve been urging me since morning, and I couldn’t refuse.”

Lu Miao tapped her fingertip on the armrest beside her. “There’s trouble at the City God Temple.”

It wasn’t a question but a statement.

With one hand gripping the steering wheel, Lin Bufan gave her a thumbs-up.

Exclaiming, “Boss, you truly are the boss. You figured it out!”

Lu Miao glanced out of the car window.

It wasn’t about figuring it out; the City God Temple was located in the center of Luo Citv. serving as the guardian of the local area.

The rampant demonic winds and unusual signs last night could only mean that something was wrong at the City God Temple.

Moreover, when she had visited the temple, Priest Lingxu had already encountered a problem.

“Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, before I even got up, the people from the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs came to my door. They immediately transferred a deposit of one million and insisted on bringing me to you right away. They said the price was up to you as long as you could solve the problem. It took all my effort to stop them.”

Lin Bufan explained as he drove, “Later, I agreed to bring you here in the afternoon after they insisted.”

The car soon stopped outside the City God Temple.

The tall temple gate was tightly closed, and a sign was placed outside, stating,

“Closed today, no visitors allowed!”

Both of them got out of the car, and Lin Bufan knocked on the door with the door knocker.

After a moment, the temple gate creaked open, and a young Taoist stepped out.

Lin Bufan explained the invitation they received, and the young Taoist bowed, making way for them.

The entire City God Temple was empty. It was usually a bustling place, but now it was quiet.

Incense smoke wafted in the air, shrouding the temple with a mysterious veil.

In the middle of the courtyard, the huge bodhi tree that had been lush and vibrant when she visited was now left with sparse leaves hanging from its branches after the devastation of the previous night.

Yellow talismans were pasted everywhere on the stone pillars and walls.

This was Lin Bufan’s first time visiting the City God Temple, so he followed behind Lu Miao, looking around curiously.

However, after looking around for a while, he couldn’t see anything wrong.

The young Taoist led them to the back hall.

As they walked deeper inside, Priest Lingxu lay on a bed with closed eyes.

Several people gathered around the bed, some sitting and some standing, all wearing solemn expressions.

Among them were the Director Han and Deputy Director Ding who had visited Lin Bufan in the morning.

When they turned and saw him, the elder Han glanced at Lu Miao beside him and then looked behind him.

“Mr. Lin, where is Master Mountain River?”

“I’m right here,” Lu Miao replied directly.

Everyone in the hall instantly turned to look at Lu Miao.

Director Han’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. “Mr. Lin, this is a matter of great importance. Please don’t make jokes. We can’t afford the consequences.”

Lin Bufan hurriedly explained, “I’m not joking. She really is Master Mountain River.”

Director Han’s expression became even grimmer. “Mr. Lin, even if you want to make money, you can’t randomly bring a high school student here to deceive people.”

This young girl appeared to be no more than a teenager, how could she be a master?

It was his own impatience that led him to believe the rumors.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have come to Lin Bufan and this so-called Master Mountain River. It was clearly a scam.

Thinking that those miraculous rumors were intentionally spread by them to deceive money.

Lin Bufan became anxious. “Director Han, you shouldn’t speak recklessly.

Although my Lin family may not be as wealthy as the Gu family, we can still

worth tens or hundreds of millions. If it weren’t for your earnest and repeated requests this morning, how could I have brought her here?”

Deputy Director Ding hurriedly pulled Director Han aside and whispered, “Now is not the time to discuss these things. Don’t be hasty. I received a call earlier. Team Leader Chen has already landed and is on his way here. Team Leader Chen said that he knows an exceptionally talented master in Luo City. He resolved a matter that both the Director and I couldn’t handle. If we can’t solve the problem here, let that young man bring that master over. It will surely be resolved.”

Director Han nodded with a grim expression and remained silent.

Lin Bufan turned to Lu Miao, feeling regretful and guilty. “I’m sorry, Boss. I didn’t expect them to doubt you like this. If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to their request.”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Miao had been questioned about her age on multiple occasions, so she was used to it and didn’t mind.

She just found a spot to stand casually, glanced around, and took in the surroundings.

In addition to Director Han and Deputy Director Ding, there was a Taoist priest and an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies sitting on a cushion across from the bed.

The elderly man had been meditating cross-legged with his eyes closed and his hands resting on his knees, unaffected even by the slight conflict between Director Han and them earlier.

After sweeping her gaze around, Lu Miao found a cushion in a corner and sat down. She took out a book titled “Nuclear Physics” from her backpack.

Lin Bufan, who was beside her, almost questioned his existence when he saw it.

Wasn’t this a book for high school students?

Could it be that the boss was planning to study nuclear weapons?

Lu Miao immersed herself in reading with great interest. Outside the hall, footsteps were heard once again.

Soon after, the young Taoist priest appeared at the door with a figure beside him.

Director Han and Deputy Director Ding eagerly went up to greet him. “Team

Leader Chen.”

After exchanging greetings, they anxiously asked, “You’ve seen the situation in the temple. What do you think? Can it be resolved?”

But Team Leader Chen shook his head with a solemn expression. “I’ll find the young master and contact the master..”
