Chapter 1523 - 1523 Spied On
1523 Spied On
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that someone would specially test the level of this medicinal pill. Most importantly, she had underestimated the difference between a medicinal pill that had undergone a heavenly tribulation and a medicinal pill on Earth. She didn’t know that a level 4 medicinal pill that had undergone a heavenly tribulation in the cultivation world was equivalent to a level 6 medicinal pill in this world.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have drawn so much attention and given Fan Yin four level 4 Advancement Pills so easily. However, there was no medicine for regret. That was a story for later.
Chi Shuyan had no idea at all what was going on with the Fan family and Fan Yin. Lately, she just went to school in the morning and returned to the villa in the evening to cultivate.
Her days were very smooth-sailing, and her relationship with her deskmate got better and better.
Apart from going between school and home, Chi Shuyan would go to the hospital every few days to visit Zhen Yu, whose injuries had also healed recently.
At the same time, the Yang parents also found out that Zhen Yu and Yang Zhi were in a relationship. When Chi Shuyan saw the couple yesterday evening, she realized that the black aura on Yang Zhi’s forehead, which had faded earlier, was gradually gathering again and becoming thicker. Thinking of Yang Zhi’s physiognomy, this was clearly a sign of the Yang family’s bad luck. At best, the Yang family would lose a lot of wealth and resources. At worst, Yang Zhi’s parents might lose their lives.
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan frowned.
Although she could roughly guess what type of calamity would befall the Yang family, she wasn’t sure when it would happen. She wasn’t in a hurry to tell Yang Zhi. It might not be a good thing to tell him rashly; either he didn’t believe her as usual, or he lived in fear every day.
She felt that all she could do was remind Zhen Yu and give her some pointers. She remembered that she had given Zhen Yu a few pointers before, and she specially mentioned to her last night to give the talismans to the Yang parents as soon as possible.
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan calmed down a little. The Yang family’s fate now depended on their luck. If the Yang family was destined to face this calamity, there was nothing she could do.
She had already done what she could. Now, it was up to the Yang family themselves.
At the same time, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but recall that her teacher would run into that scumbag in a few days. Because of this, Chi Shuyan had been feeling low for the past few days, and was getting ready to leave the capital this weekend.
That evening, while Chi Shuyan was packing her luggage in the villa, her phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it and picked up the call. A man’s gentle and familiar voice sounded on the other end of the line – it was none other than Jing Hengran.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised since the other party had been calling her and asking her out a lot lately. Oh, right, apart from going between school and the villa every day, she would also answer Jing Hengran’s calls from time to time. At first, Chi Shuyan thought that he was looking for her to discuss business.
Every time she went to meet him, she discovered that he was just asking her out, and didn’t have anything to discuss. They would have lunch and talk for a while before parting ways. This pattern inevitably reminded her of the days before she and Qi Zhenbai got together. Back then, he would call her quite frequently, and would occasionally ask her out for a meal and talk about trivial things. Later, the two of them inexplicably got together.
So, when Jing Hengran asked her out from time to time and called her frequently, she wondered if he was courting her. Of course, this was just a guess, which hadn’t been confirmed at all.
It was mainly because although the other party called her from time to time or took the initiative to ask her out for a meal, he never said anything ambiguous or misleading. His behavior was gallant and very gentle. Sometimes, she wondered if she was thinking too much.
If the other party had directly said that he was interested in her, she could express her feelings right away and immediately turn him down. However, he hadn’t said anything at all. If she ignored him for no reason or rejected him outright, it would really be too embarrassing if she had misunderstood and had thought too highly of herself.
Chi Shuyan picked up the call. She was quite polite and her tone was a bit aloof. “Hello!”
“Shuyan, are you free to have dinner with me in the evening?” Jing Hengran was very gentle in both his manner and speech, which didn’t contain the least bit of aggression.
For example, when he invited her out for a meal now, it was in the tone of a person asking for her opinion. Chi Shuyan occasionally felt that he invited her out to eat too often, but she never felt annoyed. Instead, his gentlemanly and gentle behavior made her feel very comfortable. If it wasn’t for her doubts, it wasn’t bad to eat with someone from time to time.
Chi Shuyan had never liked to act ambiguously with men. She vaguely felt that the two of them had been getting a little close recently. She subconsciously wanted to refuse and keep her distance, but she heard the other party mention her cooperation with the Jing Auction House and say that he wanted to discuss business with her.
Given the other party’s words, Chi Shuyan had no choice but to go out. After all, she was cooperating with the Jing Auction House now, so she had to give this Jing family heir some face. She glanced at her luggage before she nodded. “Okay, send me the address. I’ll head over now!”
After hanging up, Chi Shuyan quickly received the location on WeChat. The next second, the other party sent her another message. “Shall I pick you up?”
Chi Shuyan hurriedly refused. “No need, it’s no trouble for me to get there. I’ll head over now!”
After replying on WeChat, Chi Shuyan went downstairs and got ready to go out. It just so happened that Chef Li hadn’t gone to Imperial Restaurant tonight. He said that he had arranged to go to the ghost market with a few good ghosts, and would take the two little guys with him for a look.
Chi Shuyan gave each of them a Tracking Talisman. As long as something happened to them, she would immediately know and would be able to find their location. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan wasn’t worried anymore. She nodded. Seeing Chef Li waiting alone in the living room, she asked, “Where are the two little ones?”
“They’re changing. Miss Shuyan, if you have something important to do, go ahead; don’t worry about us!” Chef Li said with a smile.
Chi Shuyan nodded at Chef Li. If the two little guys came out later, she would still have to waste some time handling them. It was better for her to leave first. Before she went out, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but give Chef Li several more reminders.
Chef Li pursed his lips and smiled. “Miss Shuyan, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of the Ninth Prince and Xiao Yu.”
Chef Li had always felt that they were really lucky to run into Miss Shuyan, especially after he had interacted with a few good ghosts in the past few days. Chef Li realized that it was still quite difficult for ghosts to live without backing or strength. If they weren’t devoured by great ghosts, they were either subdued or bullied by other ghosts. There really weren’t any good ends for them. Chef Li treasured the days he could live under Miss Shuyan’s protection.
Seeing that Chef Li was in a very good mood tonight, Chi Shuyan didn’t disturb him anymore. She nodded at him and walked out.
She used a Gale Talisman which she had drawn not long ago, and quickly arrived at the meeting place 15 minutes later.
Before she entered the restaurant, Chi Shuyan once again clearly felt a burning gaze on her from behind, as if there was a blade pressed to her back. Before she entered, she suddenly turned her head and looked around, but didn’t see anyone staring at her.
Chi Shuyan still trusted her intuition. She was sure that someone was spying on her, intentionally or otherwise. She didn’t know if this person was an enemy or a friend, or what their motive was. Unfortunately, the other party hid too well and hadn’t revealed any clues.
A trace of wariness flashed in Chi Shuyan’s eyes. She looked around again; after confirming that she didn’t see anyone suspicious, she entered the restaurant.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that as soon as she entered the restaurant, a black luxury car slowly drove over and stopped in front of it.
Not long after, the window rolled down, revealing a pair of eyes that were as dark and sharp as a falcon’s. Those eyes turned up slightly. Through the full-length windows on the second floor, the person could see a man stand up and smile happily at the woman who was slowly approaching him.
The man’s smile was especially gentlemanly and gentle, and the woman’s smile was especially happy!
At that moment, the deep calm in the person’s dark eyes faded. His pupils contracted sharply, and his dark eyes gradually turned red and cold like those of a wild beast, without the slightest bit of warmth in them. Two hands, one with prayer beads around a slender, fair wrist, rested on the car window. Not long after, the frosted glass of the car window cracked forcefully under those hands. Bright red blood gradually seeped out, which could make a person’s heart jump in fear!
