Chapter 56: I miscalculated just now



Chapter 56

"At most three days, and you will certainly die. Go back and prepare yourself."

These words were like thunder, and Feng Old Lady jumped up from her seat in shock. She looked flustered. "Miss Jian, could you please take action to eliminate her?"

Jian Xi frowned in disgust and lifted her head arrogantly, "Why would I eliminate her?"

Feng Old Lady could not help but be angry, "She's a ghost who endangered my life. Shouldn't she be eliminated? Isn't that your duty as a Taoist priest?"

Jian Xi laughed. "Who told you that eliminating ghosts is our duty as Taoist priests? At this point, are you still clinging to your delusions? When you harmed her back then, did you ever think this day would come? You thought that finding an evil sorcerer to suppress her soul would be the end of it? You never imagined that after that Metaphysics Master died, with his techniques no longer suppressing her, she would come back to find you!"

"I, I..." Feng Old Lady was instantly rendered speechless.

Indeed, the evil sorcerer who had helped Feng Old Lady was the same person as the one who had previously helped He Bohuai and Xiao Jingyi (Huo Chengxi's ill-fated love who did business in hexes). And the one who helped them was also the same person!

And this Metaphysics Master was already dead. The female ghost attached to Feng Old Lady carried his aura. Jian Xi had already divined that it was He Qingchen who had taken action, and upon learning that the old master had been harmed by the Metaphysics Master found by He Bohuai, he must have secretly looked for someone.

Since Jian Xi had no information about this evil sorcerer, finding someone would certainly require the use of the Five Emperors' coin to open the heavenly eye. However, He Qingchen did not mention this matter to Jian Xi, but instead sent people to secretly investigate that Metaphysics Master until they finally caught him!

As for how he died, Jian Xi did not know, nor would she ask He Qingchen.

Feng Old Lady slumped down on the chair, not daring to look up at Jian Xi. In an extremely weak voice, she said, "Miss Jian, please help me. I can give you anything you want, no matter how much. I'm already halfway into the coffin, so please just let me die peacefully and go to the underworld to receive punishment, okay?"

Jian Xi rolled her eyes dramatically. This obstinate woman was still putting on an act of pity in front of the wrong person.

"Sister Ling, please show our guest out!" Jian Xi was too lazy to waste any more words with her!

Seeing that her act was ineffective, Feng Old Lady immediately dropped the pretense. She stood up with an arrogant attitude, "Little girl, you have some skills, but don't think you're the only talented one in the metaphysics world. Not earning money that was right in front of you, how stupid can you be!"

Having said that, Feng Old Lady turned around and walked straight out.

Jian Xi narrowed her eyes, flicked her wrist, and a talisman for eliminating restrictions flew out and stuck onto the female ghost. The ghost's yin energy suddenly intensified, and all the scarce suppressive power left on her vanished without a trace!

At the same time, the dark energy between Feng Old Lady's brows spread even thicker.

Jian Xi smiled smugly. Raising her voice a little, she said, "I'm sorry, I miscalculated just now. You only have one day left. Make the best use of your time!"

Feng Old Lady, who had one foot out the door, staggered upon hearing this. She turned back and glared viciously at Jian Xi.

With that stagger, she nearly collided with Xu Yanxin who was just about to enter. He quickly stepped back to make way, and he had clearly heard those words as well!

He looked at Feng Old Lady in shock. Their family knew Feng Old Lady. They were all upper class people. Even if they didn't have deeper ties, they still knew of one another.

Feng Old Lady also glared angrily at Xu Yanxin, then hurried away, not for anything else but because she felt even colder around her body after Jian Xi spoke those words just now. She had to hurry and find someone else to help her!

Xu Yanxin felt somewhat puzzled, but he didn't say anything and followed Sister Ling into the little wooden house.

After seeing Jian Xi, Xu Yanxin also stated his purpose for coming today. He was not actually a child of the Xu family. He had been adopted by the Xu family. The Xu family originally had their own son, one year older than him. But when that son was four years old, he went missing. Xu's parents had looked for him for many years but never had any results.

As a result, Xu's Mother was dealt a huge mental blow. She was depressed and grief-stricken every day. Because the two of them had conceived later in life, Xu's Mother could no longer get pregnant. So in order for Xu's Mother to have something to attach herself to emotionally, Xu's Father went to an orphanage to adopt him.

"After I arrived in the Xu family, my parents treated me extremely well, but I knew that their missing son had always been a thorn in their side. So I wanted to ask Miss Jian to help me calculate whether he is still alive, whether I can find him and bring him back! Even if he's... I still have to find him and bring him back!"

Xu Yanxin looked at Jian Xi full of hope.

"Do you know his date and time of birth?" Jian Xi asked.

"I know, I know!" Xu Yanxin hurriedly took out his phone and opened the notes app to show Jian Xi.

Jian Xi glanced down at it, then picked up two Five Emperors' coins from the tableside, threw them a few times, and said, "He is still alive, and all these years, he has been by your side!"

Xu Yanxin stood up excitedly, "Really?"

Jian Xi gestured for him not to get too excited yet. "The divination shows that he is in the northeast branch of your family company. Judging from his date and time of birth, his position now is not low. He has a family, with a son already. His wife works in education. Their family life is happy and perfect. But you have to go this morning. There has been a change in the trajectory of his career. He should have submitted a resignation letter, preparing to switch industries!"

"Thank you Miss Jian. If I can really find my brother, the Xu family will definitely come to your door and express our gratitude!" Xu Yanxin said gratefully.

Jian Xi smiled charmingly, "There's no need to come and express gratitude. Just pay the normal divination fee."

Xu Yanxin was startled for a moment, then hurriedly said, "That's different. If I can really find my brother, then you will be our Xu family's greatest benefactor!"

Jian Xi looked at him and said, "You are straightforward and sincere. Let me give you one piece of information. You are not an orphan. Your parents are also alive and well, it's just that they are not in City B. And they have never given up looking for you! But their circumstances are nowhere near as good as the Xus. If you make up your mind, you can come find me. I'll give you that divination for free!"

Seeing such a pure and innocent person put Jian Xi in a slightly better mood.

This year is the crossroads of his life. Let's see which path he chooses!

If he chooses well, although the first half of his remaining life will be more bitter, as long as the whole family pulls together, life will get better and better. If he chooses poorly, he will just stagnate.

After all, once the Xu family's biological son returns, he will surely have a huge gap compared to him. And emotionally, he was only a spiritual sustenance. That wonderful illusion only existed under the premise that the biological son had not been found!

Moreover, his "sister-in-law" was no saint. There would be no place for him there!
