When Chi Shuyan left the Jing family’s auction house, Qian Zhengde’s face was bloody with regret. He was filled with anger at the thought that Jing Yunting had ruined everything as he thought about what Chi Shuyan had said. There were so many medicinal pills. Although it was unlikely that all of them had similar amounts of spiritual energy, just another one or two was still good. Furthermore, this little girl’s pills were even more effective than the ones refined by the high-level alchemists of the Jing family. It also had less impurities. Such pills were very rare in modern times.
It had to be known that many cultivators would eventually accumulate impurities in their bodies due to the excessive impurities in the medicinal pills. In the end, they would suffer heavy internal injuries, which was very disadvantageous to their cultivation.
It would be absolutely beneficial if the Jing family had a few more of these pills and were able to develop them in the future, but Jing Yunting had ruined everything.
Qian Zhengde didn’t care about Jing Yunting’s surname. To him, there were many young ladies in the Jing family. Even if she was favored now, when the head of the Jing family found out about this, could this woman still act proud?
At that moment, Qian Zhengde didn’t like Jing Yunting in any way, and he said coldly, “Miss Yunting, this is a serious matter. I must tell the family head about it, so take care of yourself. You don’t have to worry about this auction house any longer!” With that, Qian Zhengde turned around and left.
Jing Yunting, who was trembling and on the verge of collapse, turned deathly pale. She didn’t expect that woman to be so ruthless and to still screw her over before she left. Now, her future in the Jing family was over. It was all over. Jing Yunting couldn’t say whether she regretted or resented the other woman more!
She could only regret being foolish enough to offend that woman now.
Chi Shuyan was in a good mood and was about to go home, but just as she was about to hail a taxi, she was suddenly pushed. When she came back to her senses, she saw that she was unexpectedly in a dark alley.
Chi Shuyan turned around and was about to walk out of the alley, but realized that it was a never-ending road. Up ahead, the gloomy road was illuminated by dim lights, making it even more eerie. There were also faint sounds from time to time which made one’s hair stand on end.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and quickly realized that she had actually run into a ghost wall. She heard faint movement, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a strange, black, twisted shadow suddenly appear on the ground and slide up the wall like a water snake. When it lunged at her, Chi Shuyan pinched her fingers together, and a white flame immediately streaked over. The black shadow immediately let out a mournful scream and the black qi disappeared. The originally dark alley disappeared, and Chi Shuyan found herself standing foolishly on the main road.
It had indeed been a ghost wall!
But when she thought of that strange and twisted black shadow just now, she felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Ever since Celestial Master Li gave Zhao Hongmei a talisman to ward off yin energy, her condition improved a lot. She was at home, when she suddenly heard a commotion and saw her Official Song come in with a face covered in blood.
Zhao Hongmei jumped up in fright and supported him with a worried face. “Official Song, are you alright?”
Song Zhongsheng’s expression was malicious, and it was like he was drooling a little when he gazed sinisterly at Zhao Hongmei’s face. Zhao Hongmei shivered for no reason.
Song Zhongsheng quickly regained his usual gentle expression. “Hongmei, I’m fine, I’m fine. I just went out for a while and was accidentally injured by a Celestial Master!”
Zhao Hongmei looked at his gentle face; that sinister expression was nowhere to be found. It turned out she had been seeing things. Zhao Hongmei heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, then said with a pained expression, “Official Song, what should we do? Are you okay? Is there anything you need me to do?”
