1649 The Red Line Fades
The others, including Wang Jinyang, were stupefied by Huang Chong’s words. Except for Yang Ji, who knew that Master Chi was really capable and that the talismans in her online shop were really useful, this was the first time the others had truly experienced Master Chi’s real capability in such a fantastical situation. It was hard for them not to be shocked.
Compared with the surprise Xia Mingcheng felt over the talisman that Liling had given to him last time, this talisman which had helped Huang Chong escape calamity and turned to ash shocked him from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, Xia Mingcheng was even more aware of Master Chi’s reminder about the Peach Blossom Doom and the consequences of him being with Yuan Yuan. Even if he never thought about being with Yuan Yuan at all, that woman gave him too much of a sense of crisis. He really couldn’t bear the consequences of his family being ruined. Moreover, she was too close to his mother. It was really too dangerous. He made up his mind to cut all ties with Yuan Yuan.
Of course, apart from Xia Mingcheng, everyone regretted buying too few talismans from Master Chi before, especially when she had even taken the initiative to take out the talismans and asked if they wanted to buy them.
Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan, who had bought the least talismans, regretted it very much. At that time, they felt that the talismans were too expensive, but they were really too useful for saving lives.
After all, could money compare with life?
Yang Ji and Brother Jiang had too good an eye!
“Yang Ji, why do you look like you already knew that the talismans made by Master Chi would be so useful?” Yi Junzhong suddenly asked.
Yang Ji wanted to say that he had indeed bought a lot of talismans from Master Chi’s Taobao shop back then. Unfortunately, the level of the talismans was too low. No one believed him at that time, so he only gave them to Lin Dong. Unfortunately, Lin Dong still died in the end. As for the others, they had probably long forgotten about it.
Yang Ji spoke lightly of this matter. The others traded looks of belief at the fact that Yang Ji had already been in contact with Master Chi so early on. No wonder only Yang Ji had believed in Master Chi at the beginning when no one else did.
At that moment, Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong, Xia Mingcheng and Li Xiaoyan were very glad that they believed in Master Chi. Only Huang Chong wanted to cry without tears. However, he was still alive and had a chance to trust Master Chi.
At that moment, Huang Chong hoped that Master Chi would come and see him. He was also afraid that she would be unhappy with him because of what happened before and would ignore him. Huang Chong was anxious but could only wait for Master Chi to come.
Chi Shuyan came over at noon, and was warmly welcomed by everyone, especially Huang Chong, who was moved and excited when he saw that Master Chi had finally come to see him.
Huang Chong’s emotions were in turmoil, and he even started crying on the spot. Chi Shuyan was dumbfounded when he cried, but she heard him say gratefully, “Master Chi, thank you for saving me, thank you! If it wasn’t for your talisman, I would have died a few days ago, and it would have been in an especially bad way. Master Chi, thank you, thank you so much. If you have any instructions in the future, just let me know. I, Huang Chong, can charge up a mountain of knives or cross a sea of fire.”
Everyone else got goosebumps when they heard this, and Chi Shuyan was also a bit stupefied. It was only when Yang Ji took the initiative to explain that Wang Jinyang had given Huang Chong a talisman before, and that the talisman had blocked the calamity for Huang Chong and turned to ash, that Chi Shuyan finally understood Huang Chong’s excitement and gratitude.
She looked at him in some dismay. In her heart, it was Wang Jinyang who had given him the talisman – he was the one Huang Chong should be thanking. However, seeing that he was too excited, she didn’t say much. She was afraid that he would become even more agitated. He had just survived a crisis, and she didn’t want something to suddenly happen to him again.
Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “It’s a small matter. Just be grateful to Wang Jinyang!”
Wang Jinyang looked embarrassed and flattered. Huang Chong immediately nodded and said, “Master Chi, I do have to thank Jinyang, but I also have to thank you! Master Chi, you won’t leave me alone, right? It’s not that I didn’t believe you before!” When he said the last sentence, Huang Chong felt quite guilty, and his eyes darted around. How could Chi Shuyan not see his guilty conscience? She was amused. She saw that he was trying his best to curry favor with her and was very cautious, for fear of offending her. One could imagine how traumatized he had been by his near-death experience!
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan naturally didn’t argue with Huang Chong about what happened before. Besides, even when he didn’t believe her, he hadn’t been cold toward her, and was usually quite polite. Since she had long decided to help him, it wasn’t a big deal.
So, when the other party probed carefully, she nodded and said, “Okay, as long as you trust me.”
“I absolutely trust you, Master Chi, I trust only you!” Huang Chong hurriedly expressed his stance!
Chi Shuyan: …
The others: …
Chi Shuyan didn’t linger for long. She asked Huang Chong some questions and saw that his physiognomy had improved. The red line on his forehead had faded a fair bit – if she hadn’t taken a closer look, she wouldn’t have been able to see it at all; who knew if the red line would be gone completely by the evening.
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything. Seeing that it was about time, she left first and said that she would come back in the evening.
Yang Ji and the others were very grateful and wanted to see her off, but she turned them down.
Wang Jinyang’s phone suddenly rang, and he immediately picked up the call. After a while, he heard Jiang Mingguang’s familiar voice. Ignoring the fact that he was on the phone, he turned his head excitedly and said to the others, “Brother Jiang is fine, Brother Jiang is fine!”
These words immediately made everyone look at Wang Jinyang. Wang Jinyang said a few more words to Jiang Mingguang. After hanging up, he looked a bit hesitant. After a while, he continued, “Brother Jiang said that he would come over immediately. There’s one more thing: Brother Jiang said that he’s bringing a capable Master with him. His name is Gu Yunzheng.”
Before the others could speak, Huang Chong immediately beat them to it. “I don’t want another Master. Don’t tell me about other Masters. I only trust Master Chi!”
Yang Ji was speechless.
So was everyone else. Did this kid have to flip so quickly?
