Chapter 121 Purification Rituals
“Is there anything we should do, Mr. Miller?” Alex asked Baron.
It was his first time doing something like this, so he didn’t have any experience.
“That spirit has been troubling the Saflin family for some time now, and surprisingly, no one else. Hence, if I’m not wrong, someone had tampered with the geomancy of the Saffin family residence. I suggest that you hire a geomancer to take a look at your house, Ms. Saffin. It’ll be troublesome if that spirit comes back. again.” Baron said.
The crowd nodded, agreeing to what Baron had said. After all, this wasn’t the first time the spirit troubled the Saffin family.
“Mr. Miller, do you know how to perform purification rituals?” Jessica looked at Baron with a look full of anticipation.
Baron shook his head apologetically and said, “My geomancy skills aren’t very good. I can handle the normal spirits, but I can’t say the same for vengeful ones. My senior might be able to do it. But he is in the Mountain of the Beasts, and he might not agree to help your family.”
“I’ll do it then,” Alex said.
“Y–You know how to?” Jessica questioned skeptically.
“I’m not too sure myself. But I’ve learned it before,” Alex replied with a shrug.
“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you for that.” Jessica thought about it and felt that she should let Alex have a go at it first. If he really can’t, it still wouldn’t be too late to hire that geomancer from the Mountain of the Beasts.
After that, Alex helped carry Jessica’s mother to her room and put her to bed before going around their house to perform the purification rituals.
Baron admired Alex’s abilities so much that he followed the latter around as if he was Alex’s disciple. Similarly, the Saffin family’s fellow neighbors were following them around too.
After going around Jessica’s house, Alex shook his head and said, “There’s nothing wrong here. If there really is a problem, then it must be something wrong with your ancestral tombs.”
“Do you want to take a look at it?” Jessica asked.
“Alright, let’s have a look at it.” Alex nodded. He wanted to know what was up with the little spirit.
“Please take care of my mom, Aunt Wendy,” Jessica said to a woman.
“Alright, go ahead. Nothing’s going to happen with us here,” the woman replied.
“Thanks, Aunt Wendy.” Jessica nodded gratefully.
“Mr. Jefferson, can I tag along?” Baron asked as he looked at Alex excitedly.
“If you want to.” Alex nodded.
“Thank you, Mr. Jefferson,” Baron thanked him.
Baron realized that there was more to Alex than meets the eye. He wanted to follow by the latter’s side and
see if he could learn something new.
The Saffin family’s ancestral tombs were at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs.
