99: Chapter 99 The Leader of the Tomb Guardian Sect

After breakfast.

He spent some more time reading picture books with Chu Lingyin and teaching her to recognize characters. Then, Chu Xiao went to the parking lot, chose the most inconspicuous Maybach, and drove the two children straight to Babao Mountain Cemetery.

Traffic in the Capital was still very congested; because of the Spiritual Qi recovery, many people had flocked here...

"Big Brother, when will we get there?"

Chu Lingyin propped her head up with both hands.

The little fatty, Chu Jie, was obediently eating snacks, looking very well-behaved, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Gripping the steering wheel, Chu Xiao smiled and said, "How about Big Brother performs a magic trick for you?"

"A magic trick?"

Chu Lingyin's eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her hands. "Okay! Okay!"

"Both of you, close your eyes."

"Mm-hmm!"

Chu Lingyin quickly closed her eyes, but she squinted through a tiny crack, peeking secretly.

The little fatty, Chu Jie, obediently closed his eyes.

In the next instant.

The entire Maybach vanished into thin air...

"Holy shit!"

On the highway, a man smoking in a Wuling Hongguang right behind them was so startled his eyes nearly popped out. He rubbed his eyes and looked ahead; the black Maybach had disappeared, leaving only an empty space.

The man stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

At the same time.

Above the parking lot of Babao Mountain Cemetery, a spatial rift suddenly tore open, and the black Maybach sped out from within, coming to a steady stop in a parking space.

[Ding!]

[You have shocked ###, reward: 48 pleasure points!]

[Ding!]

[You have shocked ###, reward: 50 pleasure points!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

...

A series of System notifications rang out in his mind, harvesting nearly 1,000 pleasure points.

Clearly, many people had seen what just happened; a car vanishing into thin air had caused a massive emotional shock to the ordinary people.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now!"

Chu Xiao said with a smile.

The two children opened their eyes and were astonished to find they were already in the parking lot!

Teleportation!

Chu Lingyin's mouth hung open. "Wow! Big Brother, you're so awesome! This magic trick is incredible, I want to learn it too!"

The little fatty, Chu Jie, also flattered him, "Big Brother is awesome!"

"You want to learn? We'll talk about it later!" Chu Xiao rubbed their heads. These two children were still mentally immature; if he gave them terrifying power, they might accidentally deal a devastating blow to the world.

Unexpectedly, there wasn't a single car in the cemetery's parking lot. The place was eerie and filled with ghostly energy, and not a single person had come to visit the graves.

"Young man, are you here to visit a grave?"

In front of the guard booth stood an old man with a graying beard. He was thin and dressed in a security uniform, his hat worn perfectly straight. When he spoke, he revealed a mouth full of yellow teeth.

[Name: Li Xiaojia]

[Age: 98]

[Identity: Sect Head of the Tomb Guarding Sect]

[Cultivation: Level Six Qi Refining]

[Occupation: Gravekeeper]

[Specialties: Clapper talk rapping, Ghost Control Technique, playing Mahjong, clubbing, womanizing, grave digging...]

The old man's information appeared before Chu Xiao's eyes.

Chu Xiao nodded. "Yes, we're here to visit a grave. Does the cemetery close during the day?"

The old man shook his head and chuckled. "Heh, young man! There have been rumors everywhere that Babao Mountain is haunted lately. Didn't you know? You still dare to come visit a grave?"

"Haunted?" Chu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Babao Mountain was indeed a rare geomantic treasure spot, the burial site of many historical figures and countless high-ranking officials and nobles; ordinary people couldn't be buried here at all.

The old man lit a cigarette and said meaningfully, "Yeah! It happened a couple of days ago. I suggest you go back! This place isn't somewhere the living should come to right now!"

Chu Lingyin tilted her head and asked curiously, "Aren't you a living person? Why do you dare to be here?"

The old man laughed. "Hahaha... of course I'm a living person. But I'm no ordinary person! I am the 78th generation Sect Head of the Tomb Guarding Sect, specifically responsible for guarding this place. I strictly forbid evil ghosts from escaping and disturbing the Capital!..."

The fellow babbled on for quite a while.

Chu Xiao was speechless, thinking that this old man was quite candid to reveal his identity so directly—unless he was just a fool.

"So you're that awesome!" Chu Lingyin praised him with a grin.

The old man was very satisfied and then said, "Since you've come, it shows you're very filial. As the Sect Head, I naturally can't watch you leave in disappointment. Considering your filial piety, I'll make an exception and escort you inside to visit your relatives' graves. However, this trip won't be for free!"

Chu Lingyin let out a long "Oh~~" and said, "So you just want money!"

"Er!" The old man scratched his head awkwardly, then said solemnly, "You little brat, you have no idea how dangerous the ghosts inside are. They can suck out a living person's essence, and they like little girls like you the most."

Chu Lingyin giggled. "I'm not afraid, I have Big Brother!"

The old man laughed heartily, not taking it to heart. He was only a Cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, so he naturally couldn't see how terrifying Chu Xiao's cultivation was. He thought Chu Xiao was just a reckless youth with no cultivation at all.

"Scan a code or cash?" Chu Xiao asked with a smile.

The old man quickly pulled a badge with a payment code from his chest. He looked around to make sure no one was watching before quickly handing it to Chu Xiao. "Anything is fine. I'm really not doing this for the money; I just want to get some good luck."

Chu Xiao didn't waste words and scanned over 1,000,000 yuan.

Ding-dong, WeChat payment received: 1,000,000... yuan...

Hearing the sound, the old man initially thought it was a hundred yuan and felt a bit disgruntled, but when he heard the "million" at the end, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he became ecstatic.

Seeing his "never-seen-money-before" look, Chu Xiao was also very surprised. Wasn't this old man a Cultivator? Why was he so excited over a mere million?

Chu Xiao didn't know that there were many types of Cultivators. Some would use their Divine Abilities to make money, some had absolutely no interest in money, and some wanted to make money but didn't know how, yet didn't want to go against their conscience by setting up scams.

Clearly, this old man named Li Xiaojia was the third type...

"A million! This... this... is too much!"

Li Xiaojia felt like he was walking on air. He had met wealthy tycoons before who gave tips of ten thousand at a time.

But he had never met a super-whale like Chu Xiao, who gave a million in one go.

Tonight, he definitely had to go to a bar, find a couple of girls, and open a bottle of Ace of Spades!

The old man thought to himself.
