Chapter 2871

Cheng Jin waved her hand in front of Qian Huansheng’s face. "Are you okay?"

Qian Huansheng waved his hand dismissively. "What could happen to me?"

Cheng Jin sighed in relief. "Good. I thought I had hurt your feelings."

"You hurt me?" Qian Huansheng glanced at her.

Cheng Jin stuck out her tongue. "You are a god, omnipotent. Don't take the words of a small person like me to heart."

"Flattery," Qian Huansheng laughed, scolding her lightly.

They chatted casually in the car. The four hours passed quickly. When it was time, Cheng Jin and Qian Huansheng went to the Zhang family’s house again.

Zhang Lin’s wish was fulfilled. Cheng Jin needed to send him to the Underworld.

As the elevator rose, Zhang Lin’s parents and daughter could only wave goodbye.

Cheng Jin said to Zhang Lin, "Follow them well. Although you became a bound spirit, you never harmed anyone. Your obsession was always to remind people of safety. So, go to the Yanluo Hall. In your next life, you will still be human."

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Lin followed them away.

Cheng Jin’s work for the day was done.

Cheng Jin and Qian Huansheng left the Zhang family and returned to the coffee shop.

The day seemed busy, but for Cheng Jin, it was fulfilling.

Although she felt a bit of regret, after all, she had cut ties with her relatives.

But it also made her realize that she had a new life.

From now on, she would not force parental bonds. She just needed to take good care of herself.

To achieve her goal, she worked hard to buy a house.

Life seemed to stabilize again.

At the Fate Coffee Shop, no one came during the day, but it was always busy at night.

One day, Cheng Jin placed freshly made pastries into the glass display case. The coffee shop door opened.

Hearing the wind chime at the entrance, Cheng Jin’s eyes showed surprise. It wasn’t a soul, but a real person.

"Hello, do you hire waiters?" A girl of seventeen or eighteen with a ponytail asked.

Cheng Jin smiled. "I’m not sure. Come in first. I’ll call Uncle Ma to answer you."

Cheng Jin called Uncle Ma over.

Uncle Ma looked at the girl. "Do you want to apply to be a waiter here?"

"Yes, do you hire part-time staff? I want a part-time job." the girl said.

Uncle Ma chuckled. "We don’t hire part-time staff. We only hire full-time. If you want to be a full-time waiter, you can come. If you really need people, but only for part-time, we are not hiring now."

"Oh, then forget it. I’m leaving." The girl didn’t think much of it. She waved to Uncle Ma and left.

Watching the girl leave, Cheng Jin looked at Uncle Ma. "Uncle Ma, didn’t you say everyone who sees our ad is destined?"

"Yes, destined. But whether this fate succeeds depends on the person’s decision after arriving. She chose not to persist. She gave up this opportunity herself," Uncle Ma explained.

Cheng Jin sighed. "The girl has a disaster involving blood. If she doesn’t become our waiter, no one can save her."

Uncle Ma smiled faintly. "It is her own choice."

Cheng Jin nodded slightly. She wasn’t familiar with the girl. She wouldn’t intervene just because she saw the girl’s luck.

Everyone has their own path to walk. Unless necessary, Cheng Jin would not interfere with people’s fate.

"Don’t plan to help?" Uncle Ma asked.

Cheng Jin smiled lightly. "Saving people casually is a taboo for a Heavenly Master. I don’t want to cause such trouble."

Uncle Ma nodded slightly. "It seems you understand."

Cheng Jin said, "Not really understanding. I’m just careless. I can cut ties with my own birth mother. For strangers, I don’t have much thought. At most, if the girl comes to Fate Coffee Shop, I’ll help her fulfill a wish."

"That’s well said." Qian Huansheng came out and sat in his usual spot. "One coffee."

Cheng Jin skillfully brewed a cup of coffee for Qian Huansheng. Then she said, "Boss, every time you come out, there are special guests. What time is it this time?"

Qian Huansheng smiled. "Six in the afternoon."

Cheng Jin made an OK gesture, indicating she understood.

At six in the afternoon, someone indeed arrived. It was an old man, looking energetic. Most importantly, a faint purple aura surrounded him.

Purple represents nobility. The old man’s purple aura wasn’t strong, but it existed, indicating his family had produced noble people.

Cheng Jin led the man to Qian Huansheng. After she sat down, she asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Do you have Tieguanyin tea?" the old man asked.

"Yes, please wait." Cheng Jin left and quickly brewed a cup of Tieguanyin. She placed the tea in front of the old man and left.

Cheng Jin naturally returned to the counter to do her work.

Qian Huansheng looked at the man. "You came to find me for something?"

The old man looked at Qian Huansheng. "My ancestor obtained this item when he was alive." The old man took out a wooden box and placed it in front of Qian Huansheng.

Qian Huansheng glanced at the item in the box. "The item in the box is useless to me. However, this item should not stay in your home anymore. Your family members can no longer suppress it."

The old man said, "Of course. I only hope you can help me find my granddaughter."

It turned out the old man’s granddaughter was born three days ago, but she was stolen. That’s why the old man came to find Qian Huansheng.

Qian Huansheng hummed. He raised his hand and calculated with his fingers. "Come here tomorrow at eleven in the morning to pick up your granddaughter."

"Yes." Joy appeared in the old man’s eyes. He stood up and left.

After the old man left, Cheng Jin walked over. "He didn’t even drink the tea. What a waste."

"You are really stingy. Even I, the boss, didn’t mind," Qian Huansheng said, amused.

Cheng Jin made a funny face at Qian Huansheng. "I’m not stingy. I’m saving. I should have just given him a glass of water. He didn’t sit for long anyway."

Qian Huansheng glanced at Cheng Jin. "Come with me later."

"Now?" Although the sky outside was still bright, it was getting dark. This was serious business.

"Some things only come out in the dark," Qian Huansheng said. He finished his coffee, put away the wooden box, and stood up. "Let’s go."

Cheng Jin sighed. She looked at Uncle Ma. "Since I’m doing double duty, Uncle Ma, you should really find a full-time waiter."

Uncle Ma waved his hand. "People will come."

Cheng Jin smiled helplessly and followed Qian Huansheng out.

Qian Huansheng opened the car door. Cheng Jin got in without asking where they were going.

Qian Huansheng seemed to know where to go. He drove directly to a ferry crossing.

"Ferry dock," Cheng Jin said after getting out. "The resentment here is deep."

"It is deep. Many children died here," Qian Huansheng said calmly.

Hearing this, Cheng Jin calculated with her fingers. "They still use female infants to sacrifice to the Water God. It’s not really a sacrifice to the Water God. They are sending those children to die."

"That’s why the resentment here is so deep," Qian Huansheng said. "Tonight, another female infant will be brought here. Our goal today is to save that infant. We will resolve the resentment here tomorrow at noon."

Noon has the strongest yang energy, making it the easiest time to purify the resentment.

Cheng Jin nodded in understanding. "So the old man’s goal today is the child?"

"Yes. That’s her granddaughter. her family only had sons. It was hard to get a granddaughter. She was stolen less than two hours after birth. That’s why she came to ask," Qian Huansheng explained simply.

Cheng Jin nodded. "We should help." She looked at Qian Huansheng. "What good thing did you get?"

"An old discarded item. I thought it was lost, but it returned," Qian Huansheng didn’t specify what it was. His eyes showed deep thoughts.

"Someone is coming." A man and a woman appeared. The woman held a baby. They walked towards them.

It seemed like a family.

Qian Huansheng waited until they were close. He tapped his finger. The man and woman froze.

"Go get the child," Qian Huansheng said.

Cheng Jin glanced at Qian Huansheng, went over, and picked up the child.

The child was only three days old. The red skin hadn’t completely faded. But from her small face, one could see she would be pretty when she grew up.

Qian Huansheng looked at the child. "Let’s go. This child will stay at our coffee shop tonight."

Cheng Jin said "Oh." She pointed at the man and woman. "What about them?"

"Leave them here," Qian Huansheng said. "They created the cause, so they must accept the effect. They used child sacrifice to gain longevity and youth. Now, the children here will take them back. Don’t worry about them."

This meant they wouldn’t live long.

Cheng Jin hummed. As long as such people couldn’t harm others, it was the best news for her.

Cheng Jin held the child in the passenger seat. "Go to the supermarket."

"You want to buy things?" Qian Huansheng asked curiously.

Cheng Jin glanced at Qian Huansheng. "People will come to pick up the child tomorrow. We can’t neglect her tonight. Formula, diapers, and other baby supplies are needed. If we don’t go to the supermarket, stop at the maternity store ahead. They have everything she needs."
