1558 Cry for Help

Chi Shuyan returned to the villa. Seeing that Chef Li and the others hadn’t returned yet, she simply went upstairs to start work on her idea. Before she did so, she took out the box from her master and opened it for a look.

With one look, she was taken aback by the gift from her master. There was a whole set of priceless imperial jade in the sandalwood box, including an imperial jade necklace, a pair of emerald earrings, and many inlaid diamonds. The set was definitely worth a lot.

Chi Shuyan felt that she had seen the world, yet she couldn’t help but be shocked by her teacher’s wealth this time. However, when she thought of how rich her teacher had been in her previous life and how she didn’t care about such worldly possessions, she wasn’t too surprised that her teacher would give her such a grand greeting gift.

Of course, this gift also represented to a certain extent how much her teacher valued her.

Chi Shuyan was both happy and conflicted about this gift. She was happy that her teacher had a better impression of her than she had expected. What she was conflicted about was that her teacher had spent so much money right away. If Chi Shuyan had known at that time that her teacher would give her such an expensive gift, she wouldn’t have accepted it so easily.

Forget it. Chi Shuyan thought about it and then planned to go to the Jing Auction House in the next few days to search for the herbs she wanted. When the time came, she would make some skincare products and send them directly to her teacher.

She also took a look at the things in her Cosmos Ring, such as the herbs and medicinal pills she had obtained from the Jing family, as well as the Iron Essence and the Creation Pill.

At the same time, she took a serious look at the herbs she was painstakingly cultivating. Seeing that the Spirit Gathering Array was about to lose its effect, she quickly replaced it with a batch of jade pendants filled with new spiritual energy.

After sorting out the items in her Cosmos Ring, she logged into her Taobao account. There were still many people pressing her for the goods. Lu Yunfeng even specially left several messages saying that he hadn’t been able to snap up the spirit rice. His grandfather especially liked it and asked if he could get more in the future.

Chi Shuyan hadn’t contacted Lu Yunfeng for a long time, and replied to his message: Sure!

She read a lot of comments, most of which were now good reviews, which swept away most of the previous bad reviews. There were also people who said that the Taobao shop had too limited a selection, and asked if she could sell a wider variety of goods, and more of them as well.

Chi Shuyan didn’t reply. She did want to sell a wider variety, but she really couldn’t do anything in terms of quantity. She was a student, and couldn’t just focus on this Taobao shop all day. She could only say sorry in her heart.

Soon, Chi Shuyan found a familiar ID in the comments. It was the person who had asked her last time if foresight really was a thing, and who had bought a few talismans from Chi Shuyan’s shop.

This time, she saw that the other party had left more comments. In one of the earliest comments, the other party seemed very excited and overjoyed. The message read: “The… the talismans were useful!!! They were really useful! My friend also said they were useful!!! Thank you!!!”

The second message was left a few days after that, and was full of despair. “The talismans are useful, but one of my best friends is still dead. We’ve never done anything bad enough to be punished by the heavens. My friend is the sort of person who will help the elderly cross the road. Why did we encounter this? Why is my friend dead? Who can help us?”

After that, the other party’s tone became even more desperate. “My little sister is also dead. Before she died, that thing even peeled off her face. Why? Why wasn’t I the one who died?? I’m not afraid of death. I know I can’t escape that thing!”

Chi Shuyan saw the other party gradually turn depressed and suicidal. His mood seemed very off. Wait, Chi Shuyan’s eyes suddenly fell on his message again: “My sister is also dead. Before she died, that thing even peeled off her face.” If she remembered correctly, when Yan Zhengming called her back then, he told her that the young lady from the film crew next door had fallen to her death in burial clothes and her face had been peeled off. Could it be that this ID belonged to that young lady’s brother?

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment, then quickly replied: If you contact me, I can help. The price of an exorcism and catching ghosts is negotiable!

She sensed that the other party’s matter was urgent, and she was afraid of missing his reply, so she didn’t log out of her account. Unfortunately, she waited for almost the entire night, but he didn’t contact her.

Could it be that something had happened to the other party?

Chi Shuyan could only decide to go take a look at Director Wang’s set when she was free tomorrow afternoon.

It was almost midnight, so she simply sat in her bedroom and meditated until midnight. She vaguely heard the sound of a car entering the front yard of the villa. Wait, who would come to her house so late at night?

Chi Shuyan immediately opened her eyes, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the full-length windows. She pulled open the curtain and looked down. Sure enough, she saw a small black car parked outside her villa. After a while, the headlights turned off, and the door opened. A familiar tall figure got out of the car.

The man pursed his lips and leaned against the car to light a cigarette. The flame from the lighter flickered and highlighted his sharp, good-looking eyebrows. He took a puff as he stared silently at the door of the villa in front of him.

Chi Shuyan used her spiritual energy to get a clear look at the license plate and the person. Wait, why was this man suddenly here in the middle of the night?

Chi Shuyan thought at first that the other party would contact her. For more than half an hour, he just stood in front of the car and smoked. More than a dozen cigarette butts littered the ground. It was late at night, and the wind was howling. Even if he wasn’t cold, just looking at him made Chi Shuyan feel cold.

She pondered for a moment and was about to go down and meet him, when he suddenly turned around, got into the car, and drove away!

Chi Shuyan: …
