By the afternoon, Black Pot and Granny Zhuang slipped out to prepare dinner for Chen Shi, and Stone Rock Lady also shyly made her way out, asking them hesitantly, "Do you need any help from me?"
Black Pot glanced at her and pointed to the bowls and dishes.
Stone Rock Lady went over to the well to help them wash and scrub the plates.
Once the three of them returned to Chen Shi's small temple, Stone Rock Lady sat on the central altar with much more confidence.
After dinner, the local ghosts of Wuwang City and the Lantern Ghosts came again.
"...Judge Ye has said he is not at home. Please leave," Sangyu said.
This continued for three to five days; every evening, the city ghosts and the Lantern Ghosts would come to inquire, only to receive the same response.
