As evening approached, the distant sunset glow turned golden, indicating that it wouldn't be long before the sun set.
He Xiuyuan opened his eyes, glanced at the little ghost beside him, then stood up and pushed open the door in front of him.
As the door opened, bright light streamed into He Xiuyuan's eyes.
He Xiuyuan looked around and immediately waved to a servant in the distance.
"Where is your Master?"
"Master is in the study."
The servant looked at He Xiuyuan, then quickly lowered his head and replied.
He Xiuyuan nodded slightly, "Please ask your Master to come over for a moment, and have someone clean up the things in this room."
Uh...
The servant looked at He Xiuyuan's unceremonious command, and remembering Treasurer Jia's previous instructions, he still nodded.
"Please wait, I will go and invite Treasurer Jia now!"
With that, the servant motioned for people to enter the room and clean up the bones, while he turned and hurried away.
A moment later, in the Jia Residence's study, Treasurer Jia heard the servant's message.
"That person wants me to go over?"
Treasurer Jia raised his head in surprise, looking at the servant in front of him.
"Yes, Master, that person seems to have just woken up, and after waking, he immediately asked for you to come over."
The servant quickly nodded in response.
Treasurer Jia frowned, thought for a moment, then decided to go and see He Xiuyuan.
The other party had finished eating; it was time for him to say whether he could help him have a child.
Thinking of this, Treasurer Jia immediately stood up and walked out.
A moment later, he saw He Xiuyuan under a large tree in the courtyard.
At this moment, He Xiuyuan was holding fruit, while a maid beside him held a plate with some fresh fruit on it.
Seeing Treasurer Jia arrive, He Xiuyuan waved his hand, signaling Treasurer Jia to come closer.
"Mr. He, have you thought of a way for me to have an heir?"
Treasurer Jia came closer, cupped his hands, and asked He Xiuyuan.
He Xiuyuan smiled, "Treasurer Jia, can the main gate of your Jia Residence be opened?"
"The main gate of the Jia Residence?"
Treasurer Jia was a little surprised to hear this, he glanced at the main gate in the distance, then frowned slightly.
"The main gate of our Jia Residence is only opened when we have distinguished guests, or during the New Year..."
From the sound of it, Treasurer Jia seemed to find it a bit difficult to open the main gate.
However, the main gate was indeed like that, it would not be opened easily.
"What, Treasurer Jia, do you think opening this gate is not worth it for a child?"
He Xiuyuan took a bite of fruit and asked indifferently.
Treasurer Jia frowned, "Mr. He, can you tell me what connection there is between opening the gate and having an heir?"
Treasurer Jia was also puzzled; he could understand the chanting and rituals of the many Daoists or monks he had seen before.
But someone like He Xiuyuan, who spoke of eating and then opening the main gate, he had truly never encountered.
"If Treasurer Jia wants that child, just open the main gate."
He Xiuyuan waved his hand, saying carelessly.
Hearing this, Treasurer Jia hesitated for a moment, then nodded, no longer asking further, "Go, open the main gate."
The servant nearby immediately called a few people to go and open the main gate.
A moment later, with a creaking sound, the heavy sound of the gate opening echoed, and the main gate of the Jia Residence swung wide open.
He Xiuyuan saw this and walked towards the gate, speaking to Treasurer Jia beside him, "Treasurer Jia, please have those servants step aside, do not appear here, otherwise, if they see something later, they might be frightened, and that wouldn't be good."
Frightened?
Treasurer Jia looked at He Xiuyuan, wondering if this person truly had abilities or was just a swindler.
"Then may I stay here?"
After thinking, Treasurer Jia asked one more question.
"If Treasurer Jia is not afraid, then it's certainly no problem to stay."
He Xiuyuan did not refuse, nodding in agreement.
Treasurer Jia felt a slight relief at this; he wanted to see what He Xiuyuan was up to.
"You all retreat, no one should come here for now."
Treasurer Jia followed He Xiuyuan, then waved his hand at the servants nearby, signaling them to retreat.
All the servants quickly turned and left.
However, Treasurer Jia saw this, thought for a moment, then called out to one person.
"You, wait, stay here with me."
Treasurer Jia was worried about danger, so he called one person to accompany him.
The servant who was called immediately turned and followed his Master.
He was not at all worried about what He Xiuyuan had just said about not being frightened or anything like that.
He had already seen countless Jianghu swindlers like this.
It was only Treasurer Jia, in his desperation, who kept wanting to find some Jianghu swindlers to treat his illness.
If it were him, he would have stopped seeing these Jianghu swindlers long ago.
The house servant followed his Master to the main entrance.
At He Xiuyuan's request, the servant brought He Xiuyuan a chair; he seemed to be waiting for something.
Treasurer Jia's eyes showed a hint of confusion, but he also sat down nearby and waited patiently.
A moment later, the distant sun set, and lanterns began to be hung in Tianxin Prefecture.
Treasurer Jia had waited until this point and was already feeling a bit restless; his gaze frequently turned to He Xiuyuan.
"Mr. He, we have to wait until..."
After thinking for a moment, Treasurer Jia stood up, cupped his hands to He Xiuyuan, and was about to ask how much longer they had to wait.
However, at this moment, He Xiuyuan saw two Night Patrol Gods approaching from a distance.
Seeing the Night Patrol Gods arrive, He Xiuyuan immediately stood up, waved his hand at Treasurer Jia beside him, then took a step forward and bowed to the street ahead.
"Please, both of you, stop."
The two Night Patrol Gods, who were originally patrolling the street, subconsciously looked towards He Xiuyuan after hearing the movement.
When they saw He Xiuyuan's gaze fall upon them, they were also stunned for a moment.
"Is he talking to the two of us?"
The Night Patrol God on the right looked at He Xiuyuan, confirmed that He Xiuyuan's gaze was on him, and said with some trepidation.
The other Night Patrol God was also momentarily stunned.
"Impossible, how could ordinary people see the two of us?"
The two Night Patrol Gods were feeling uncertain at this moment, thought for a moment, then moved to the side.
And He Xiuyuan's gaze also followed their movement at this moment.
This scene made both Night Patrol Gods understand that He Xiuyuan was indeed calling them.
Seeing this, the two were shocked in their hearts, and after a brief consideration, they walked towards He Xiuyuan.
They wanted to see what He Xiuyuan wanted with them.
