Chapter 61: The Feng Family Reported a funeral.



Chapter 61

Jian Xi looked at his calm demeanor and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, He Qingchen, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"Why ask that?" He Qingchen raised his eyes to look at her, pausing what he was doing with his hands. He reached out and flicked her forehead lightly. "What's up, are you thinking of backing out?" His tone wasn't very friendly, with a slight hint of threat.

The implication was clear: 'Dare to back out, and you'll see!'

"I'm not backing out, I just feel like it's unreal. How did we go from being siblings to boyfriend and girlfriend? If we break up in the future, can we go back to being siblings?" Jian Xi rambled on with her free-flowing thoughts.

He Qingchen was amused by her words. "Heh, little Jian Seven, you've got nerve. We've only been together for less than an hour, and you're already thinking about breaking up in the future? Also, let's get married on August 18th two years from now."

Jian Xi was shocked, her mouth wide open. Then her eyes narrowed as she threw his own words back at him, half-mocking, "Heh, brother, you've got nerve too. We've only been together for less than an hour, and you're already thinking about marriage?"

After saying that, she mischievously curved the corners of her lips into a playful smile that seemed harmless but was actually quite sly!

After a moment of silence, He Qingchen met her teasing gaze and said very seriously, "Xiao Xi, in my plans for the rest of my life, you've always been there, no matter what our relationship is. You will always be a part of my life plan."

His sudden seriousness left Jian Xi silent for a moment. Without a word, she stood up, leaned forward, and kissed him on the lips to express her attitude.

From now on, for the rest of their lives, he would also be a part of her plan!

After the kiss, Jian Xi shyly ran off. "Brother, um, I'll go find Assistant Xu to get the number for the driving instructor. I'll go check it out first, get familiar with it. Bye!"

He Qingchen didn't even have a chance to respond before she had already run out of the office.

Leaning back in his chair, elbow propped on the armrest, he lightly touched the spot where Jian Xi had kissed him with his fingertip, the corners of his lips curling up involuntarily.

After running out of He Qingchen's office, Jian Xi went to find Xu Yan, the CEO's assistant.

Xu Yan drove her to the driving school.

On the way, Xu Yan received a call. Through the rearview mirror, he glanced at Jian Xi. "Miss Jian, regarding the matter of Feng Old Lady's life ending tomorrow, word has spread, and many people are inquiring about the truth of it."

Jian Xi was playing with her phone in the backseat and didn't look up. "Yeah, it's true. Before noon tomorrow, she will undoubtedly die. How did this get out?"

She was too lazy to figure it out. Since Assistant Xu mentioned it, he must know who spread it.

Sure enough, upon hearing her question, Xu Yan respectfully answered, "It was Feng Old Lady's driver."

Jian Xi put away her phone and turned her head to look out the window, murmuring softly, "From now on, it'll only get busier. Finally, I won't have to be idle every day!"

Since coming down from the mountain, she had really been quite free, but she found this leisurely life a bit boring!

Now it was good. After tomorrow, her business would only increase, and more work meant more money to earn. Besides rebuilding the Dao monastery, she had another goal - to save up for her dowry. Heh heh!

Great, great!

Xu Yan thought Jian Xi would feel melancholic about the increasing workload, but when he glanced in the rearview mirror, she seemed quite happy. What was going on?

In the afternoon, Jian Xi stayed at the driving school to start her lessons. She let Xu Yan go back first.

She studied driving until around 5 pm, when He Qingchen came to pick her up.

As soon as he appeared at the driving school, everyone's attention was drawn to him, just like when Jian Xi had arrived and gotten out of the car earlier.

Jian Xi saw him as she was getting out and gestured for him to wait a moment while she said goodbye to her instructor before leaving.

The two didn't return to Pleasant View Creek Garden. Instead, they went on a date, having dinner and then watching a movie. Although their interactions were similar to before, there was a much sweeter atmosphere than in the past!

The next morning, Jian Xi was divining in the little wooden house as usual. After finishing all three divinations, Gu Lingling came to tell her that the Feng family had reported a death!

Feng Old Lady was dead!

A crystal chandelier had fallen on her, with a crystal pillar piercing straight through from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. No need for emergency treatment - she died instantly on the spot.

Even without Gu Lingling's report, Jian Xi had sensed the arrival of the female ghost from Feng Old Lady early that morning, as she was already waiting outside Pleasant View Creek Garden.

After saying she understood, Jian Xi let Gu Lingling leave work, while she went to the front gate herself.

Compared to yesterday's encounter, today the female ghost had accumulated much more ominous aura. However, she still retained her sanity, only taking revenge on Feng Old Lady due to her hatred, without harming anyone else.

But Jian Xi wouldn't let her harm other innocent people either. The talisman she gave her yesterday not only lifted other seals on her, but also imposed another restraint from Jian Xi!

"Wrongs have their source, debts have their owners. Your grievance has been avenged, so go to the Underworld. However, you will certainly not escape the hundred-year punishment of burning in fierce fires." Jian Xi said coldly.

The female ghost nodded. She opened her mouth but no sound came out, because in the afterlife, an evil sorcerer had pierced her throat with a Ghost Nail, rendering her unable to speak.

Jian Xi sighed and produced a talisman from thin air. "Come in. I'll send you to a place later, and they'll deliver you to the Underworld. Don't worry, even if you can't speak, the judges at the tribunal will know what happened to you!"

The female ghost nodded again to show her understanding, then disappeared into the talisman that Jian Xi was holding at the entrance.

After lunch, Jian Xi had her driver take her to B University, where she needed to visit the bureau.

She had no choice - if she didn't want to get scolded on the scene, she had to hand over the female ghost to the Special Security Bureau so they could send her through the Ghost Gate.

Otherwise, no matter who was on duty at the Ghost Gate today, they would scold her for 'not following the rules' again as soon as they saw the female ghost!

Although this way she couldn't avoid it entirely, at least she wouldn't get scolded right away, since He Qingchen wasn't by her side to plead for her!
