smiled sweetly.Bai Tuan, after hearing this, stood up and, with an elegant gait, returned to Lian Yi's side. She was much more well-behaved than usual, jumping onto Lian Yi's knee and starting to whim...The ripple passed the jade Buddha from the cheap son, and at a glance, she could see that the amulet had been activated once, saving Song Qinghai from a calamity.

However, the ripples imbued in the talisman weren't a one-time use. Though activated once, it remained intact and didn't shatter; it simply depleted its spiritual energy, causing it to appear slightly less lustrous.

As ripples imbued the Jade Buddha with a thread of spiritual energy while it was in her grasp, the Buddha regained its luster. She then returned it to Qinghai.

"Son, you're lucky this time. The Jade Buddha protected you from disaster, that's why you felt it changed. However, since it wasn't a life-or-death crisis, the Jade Buddha didn't shatter."

Remember, if one day your jade Buddha is broken, no matter what happens around you, you must return to Mom's side first.

"Mom, don't worry, I remember! That Luo Junsheng..."

Song Qinghai is now very convinced by his mother, so he agreed readily. However, he was also a little wary of Luo Junsheng.

Although there is no evidence to prove that he was behind your near accident this time, I feel that this child has a dishonest heart. I suggest you avoid associating with him as much as possible in the future.

Starting tomorrow, you will leave home 20 minutes earlier and run to school. This way, you can exercise and avoid walking the same route as Luo Junsheng.

The ripples coaxed the son.

"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."

Although Song Qinghai wasn't superstitious, after having a personal experience, he also felt the same way. So whatever Lianyi said, he did it. After all, listening to elders is always right.

The next day, Song Qinghai went to school by running, perfectly avoiding Luo Junsheng. Of course, Luo Junsheng also asked Song Qinghai if he had learned his lesson this time. Song Qinghai cleverly shifted the blame onto Lianyi.

"It's not my mom, she says I waste food, only eating rice won't make me grow taller, she tells me to exercise more. You know how busy our studies are, I don't have time to exercise. Playing basketball during PE is good enough, but my mom made me run to school."

Song Qinghai said reluctantly.

Then should I keep you company

"If you want to get into trouble, I won't stop you."

Song Qinghai waved his hand and said, "It's not that I look down on Luo Junsheng. Just his small frame, plus the food at his home can't compare to ours. Even if he wanted to follow, he wouldn't be able to last long."

Things turned out much as Song Qinghai had predicted. Although Luo Junsheng held out for two days, he couldn't resist any longer. It wasn't that he couldn't run, it was just that after exercising, he consumed more energy and got hungry faster. The food he delivered to the school was meant to last until the end of the month, and he couldn't afford to burn through it like this.

Song Qinghai was different. Although he ran to school, Lianyi prepared a snack for him. Spring rolls, meat-stuffed buns, and scalding noodles were all easy to carry foods that could be eaten with water even when they were cold.

Song Qinghai, as soon as the first class was over, started enjoying his extra meal, which made all the boys in the class grumble and complain that he was doing it on purpose to tempt them.

But Song Qinghai was shameless, he didn't care about these things at all. Eating into his own stomach was the real deal, and the feeling of having food in his belly was the most comfortable.

Before winter arrived, Song Qinghai grew another three centimeters thanks to Lian Ri's feeding. He is now 175 centimeters tall and considered quite tall in his class.

The ripples were very clear. Song Qinghai's age group was just the time for growing, so he wasn't stingy with food. If this period was missed, it would be difficult to make up for it later. In her understanding, a man who was not at least 1.8 meters tall wouldn't be able to walk out there well.

Of course, she didn't neglect the other children either, so the Song family's dinner table became more diverse. Although it wasn't a grand feast every day, they could enjoy some richer dishes every few days. Besides, Lian Yi was generous with oil when cooking, so the whole family benefited.

Qianchuan had also tactfully asked about this matter. Lianyi didn't conceal anything and, in front of everyone, gave a reasonable explanation:

I improved the household meals because I want all of you to be healthy. Your older brother got sick because he wasn't strong enough, so he didn't make it to the emergency room.

Before she could finish her words, ripples of red welled up in her eyes.

Li Juan glared at her husband and immediately said:

"Mom, Qingchuan can't speak, but what he means is that the food at home is good now, and we consume a lot. Maybe we should contribute more to the household expenses."

Ripple heard this and a smile appeared on her face. She still had a good point, she said to herself, as her daughter-in-law knew how to speak. She wiped away her tears and said:

"No need, aren't you saving money to buy a house Just stick to the old amount, don't be too tight-fisted. Your health is your most valuable asset, remember that. I understand your kindness."

"Thank you Mom for your understanding."

Qian Chuan and Li Juan immediately said.

After this incident, Song Qinchuan's plan to buy a house was also made public. Rumors about it were spreading everywhere at the factory, but there was still no official notice from the unit.

Song Qingchuan took the ripple's advice, so he remained calm. He would occasionally bring home rumors from his unit, letting everyone in his family know about the progress of the situation.

Since Luo Junsheng stopped pestering Song Qinghai, nothing unusual happened to him. This only solidified his resolve to stay away from Luo Junsheng.

While that was happening, Ripples took the opportunity of going grocery shopping to set up a ward for exorcising and binding spirits along the entire alleyway. This was done specifically to deal with this evil spirit. Because she wasn't sure if the evil spirit was in the Luo family home or on Luo Junsheng himself, she set up the ward but didn't activate it yet.

And ripples summoning spiritual energy also takes time, after all, because of the Heavenly Dao's suppression, she can only summon a limited amount of spiritual energy. But because of this reason, it slowed down the process, therefore letting the evil souls become aware of it.

The frightened evil spirit almost lost its soul. He was now certain that there were indeed cultivators in this world, and he couldn't stay by Luo Junsheng's side anymore.

The evil soul resolutely abandoned the body it had found, falling off from Luo Junsheng's wrist during his gym class and rolling into the nearby bushes where it hid temporarily.

Luo Junsheng didn't know that he had already been abandoned. When he returned home after school in the afternoon, he realized that the connecting bead between him and his teacher was missing. He broke out in a cold sweat and searched for two days but couldn't find the bead. Instead, because he was distracted, his teacher called on him several times.

Before initiating the formation, Ripples sought out Luo Junsheng for a meeting to ensure everything was in order. It was then she noticed a change in his countenance, but his future looked bleak.

Ripples' eyes flashed, and she immediately realized that the evil spirit was no longer beside Luo Junsheng. As for where it had gone, she couldn't detect it for now.

It's no use. It seems the other party has noticed her actions. She helplessly carried her basket of groceries back home.

"The stone mill, that evil spirit must have sensed something and already ran away."

"It's fine, he hasn't grown powerful enough to cause trouble yet. Don't worry, you've protected the Song family, which is at least half the success. The evil spirit can't absorb the Song family's luck, so for now, it can only choose to lurk in hiding." everyone's sight. Several people in the teahouse had their eyes flicker for a moment, but ultimately two followed Lianyi out the door.But Qiao Hao and the others didn't take it seriously, nor did the...
