The next morning, the sky was overcast, with scattered raindrops falling to the ground.In front of the Ansi Courtyard, two figures, one tall and one small, stood under a shared oil-paper umbrella.“Grandpa, are we just going to wait again today?” Jin Xingwang yawned, his tone full of sleepiness.Beside him, Jin Wan handed his grandson a wine jar and chuckled. “I’ve already looked into it. Mr. Gu returned yesterday and hasn’t left since.”“With the rain today, if we knock on the door ourselves,…-

"A seed sprouting into a tree overnight!""Marvelous! Truly marvelous!""Master Gu’s techniques are nothing short of divine!"Marquis Lingyou’s exclamations filled the air.

Chapter 14: The Snake-Catcher
Clunk! Clunk!The snake-catcher’s hard-soled shoes struck the ground with a heavy, muffled sound as he walked.Everyone in the market kept their distance from him, unwilling even to make eye contact, as if he were not a snake-catcher but a venomous snake himself, ready to pounce and bite.This made Gu Ning’an, sitting cross-legged on the ground with a calm expression as he observed the snake-catcher, stand out even more.“Dear heavens, why’s he heading our way?” Zheng De muttered, his voice tinged…-

Marquis Lingyou was the first to recover, clasping his hands solemnly and saying, “Sir, the profundity of your techniques truly leaves me in awe.”Gu Ning’an smiled and gestured toward the tea, inviting them to drink. He replied, “Marquis Lingyou flatters me.”“This is no mere flattery,” Marquis Lingyou insisted. He lifted the teacup and took a deep sniff. A faint wisp of white steam entered his wide nostrils. Putting the cup down, he smiled. “Master Gu,…

Gu Ning’an, true to his word, dutifully told each customer the price of the rattle-drums.In total, five rattle-drums were sold, earning fifty wen.

To be honest, the group of City Gods had indeed misunderstood Gu Ning'an. Without actively sensing or deducing events, he had no idea the spell on the tailor shop’s signboard had been triggered, nor did he expect this group of ghostly deities to seek him out in the dead of night.The spell character on the signboard had been greatly enhanced by Gu Ning'an, with its power and effects amplified many times over.Previously, the character functioned by discerning “people.” It still retained that ability,…

Have you finally recognized me?”Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!The old man raised his pipe and took several forceful draws, only to realize he hadn’t even lit it.After taking a deep breath, he steadied himself, though the hand holding the pipe trembled slightly. Fixing his gaze on Gu Ning’an, he lowered his voice and asked,…-

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was in an uproar. Jin Wan, standing on the side, felt as if struck by a thunderbolt!His body trembled uncontrollably, and he forced a smile that looked worse than crying. "Mother, what are you saying? You've been making this mutton soup for a lifetime. Everyone still loves it so much. How can you just say you're done, and that's it?"Since even Grandma Sun's own son had spoken up, the young villagers below also began to plead with her to stay, while those of a…
