After the City God dispatched all his subordinates, the next day he sent a message to He Xiuyuan, informing Brother He of the matter.
Upon hearing this news, He Xiuyuan also felt relieved and temporarily settled down in Yunhua County.
Although he had temporarily settled in Yunhua County, He Xiuyuan had no intention of idling away his time. Every day, he would occasionally cast a divination to see if he could find any traces of his Fellow Daoists. Additionally, He Xiuyuan would also wander around Yunhua County to prevent any demons from sneaking in.
As He Xiuyuan began to wander around Yunhua County, he discovered that the Night Patrol Gods were quite exhausted when patrolling these areas day and night.
Yunhua County was simply too vast. For He Xiuyuan, relying solely on his own two feet to patrol the entire Yunhua County was truly too difficult.
He had spent five or six consecutive days on this, yet he had only managed to explore about seventy to eighty percent of Yunhua County.
The main reason for this was the numerous large and small streets and alleys. He Xiuyuan naturally couldn't just walk along the main streets and consider his task complete.
For places like small streets and alleys, He Xiuyuan needed to wander through each of them.
This naturally consumed a great deal of time to explore all these places.
After He Xiuyuan spent seven or eight days finally patrolling all of Yunhua County, he then needed to continue his patrols.
However, to He Xiuyuan's surprise, when he returned to the inn after a round of patrolling, he saw the City God waiting for him.
"Lord City God, are you waiting for me?"
He Xiuyuan looked at the Lord City God before him with some surprise and asked.
The Lord City God breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing He Xiuyuan return, then said helplessly, "Indeed, I was waiting for Brother He. I have something I need Brother He's help with."
"Oh, please tell me, Lord City God."
He Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised to hear this, but immediately asked.
To be honest, He Xiuyuan was quite curious about what could possibly make the Lord City God ask for his help.
"There is a benevolent family in Yunhua County. These past few days, they have been coming to me to burn incense, saying that they've been having continuous nightmares recently, as if they are being haunted by something unclean. I also went to their home to investigate, but I couldn't find anything conclusive."
"I imagine Brother He also knows that an Yin God like me cannot stay in someone's home for too long, otherwise, it would diminish their Yang Qi. Moreover, I cannot leave the City God Temple for too long. Therefore, I wish to ask Brother He for help to see if you can resolve their situation."
He Xiuyuan's heart instantly brightened upon hearing this.
"Since it is a matter for the Lord City God, I naturally cannot stand idly by. May I ask where this family resides?"
Upon seeing He Xiuyuan agree, the City God's heart was filled with joy, and he quickly said, "They are the Liu family on Chunsheng Street."
"If Brother He is willing to go, you can visit after I send them a dream. That way, you won't be turned away at the door."
The City God was worried that if He Xiuyuan went directly, the Liu family might not receive him well, so he devised a plan to send a dream to Old Master Liu, letting him know about He Xiuyuan to avoid any disrespect.
He Xiuyuan listened to the City God's words, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
This way, he would also save himself the trouble of various explanations before visiting.
"If that's the case, then I will go to the Liu residence tomorrow. What do you think, Lord City God?"
"Of course!"
Wu Liumo immediately nodded, his face beaming with a smile.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the City God did not linger and turned to leave... The next day.
He Xiuyuan arrived directly at the entrance of the Liu residence according to the location given by the City God.
Upon arriving, He Xiuyuan looked at the two pairs of stone lions in front of the Liu residence and surprisingly took a few extra glances.
The stone lion statues at the entrance seemed somewhat extraordinary. The statues contained a very strong Yang Qi. If ordinary demons or ghosts were to approach these stone lions, they would likely feel quite uncomfortable.
He Xiuyuan thought this to himself, his gaze falling upon the lions, his eyes filled with wonder. This was the first time he had seen such stone lion statues that could guard a house.
After his gaze lingered on the stone statues for a moment, He Xiuyuan strode forward, walking towards the Liu residence, and then knocked on the door.
A side door opened, and a head peeked out from the doorway.
Then the person's gaze fell on He Xiuyuan, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Old Master Liu."
He Xiuyuan replied softly.
"You're looking for our Old Master? What's your name, and do you have an introduction card?"
The servant's gaze fixed on He Xiuyuan, asking one question after another.
"I don't have an introduction card, but your Old Master should know I'm coming. You can go in and ask."
He Xiuyuan stood aside, speaking calmly and confidently.
The servant's eyes showed a hint of doubt upon hearing this. If someone were truly coming to visit, with Old Master's temperament, he should have told them, the servants. But today, they hadn't heard Old Master mention anyone coming to visit.
The servant pondered for a moment, then secretly shook his head.
Never mind, since the other party said so, what if he really was a guest invited by Old Master? It wouldn't be good if he treated him disrespectfully. It's better to go in and ask to find out.
If he truly wasn't a guest invited by Old Master, then he could just ask him to leave later.
Thinking this, the servant nodded lightly, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report to Old Master now."
With that, the servant quickly closed the door and went to report.
A moment later, the servant arrived in the main hall, where Old Master Liu was sitting. However, today Old Master's expression seemed somewhat listless, his eye sockets sunken.
Seeing this, the servant's heart skipped a beat. Old Master's expression wasn't good right now, and he wondered if reporting this matter would anger Old Master.
"Old Master..."
The servant seemed somewhat timid at this moment, and after approaching, he called out softly.
Old Master Liu, who was before him, raised his head somewhat wearily, "Xiao Liu, what is it?"
"Old Master, a young man has come to the door, saying he wants to see you, and also saying that you should know he's coming. I didn't dare to make a decision, so I came to report."
"A young man at the door?"
Hearing this, Old Master Liu suddenly stood up, a glimmer of light shining in his eyes.
"Old Master, is there something amiss?"
The servant was startled by Old Master's excited demeanor and quickly asked.
"Quick, quick, quickly invite him in!"
Old Master Liu, however, had no intention of answering, but instead hurriedly told Xiao Liu to invite the person in.
The servant was stunned upon hearing this, then quickly went to invite the person in.
