Chapter 294: Li Sangyu’s Black Qi
If Zhenbai had given Perfected Zhang a bit of face before, Qi Hao had now stripped Li Sangyu naked; he was practically saying that she was throwing herself at Zhenbai, and didn’t give Perfected Zhang any face at all.
Ordinary people still respected Celestial Masters. They had endless means and it was very easy for them to kill someone.
What no one knew was that even if Perfected Zhang wanted to act, he didn’t dare do the slightest thing to the Qi family because of Qi Zhenbai’s existence. Moreover, he was a sensible person; the Qi family’s financial support for Longhu Mountain was also very important. If he really dared to make a move today, Heaven’s Law would directly eliminate him tomorrow!
Qi Zhenbai’s purple aura really wasn’t just for show.
“Dad, even if you’re afraid of them, I’m not afraid. My sister-in-law is the most…!” Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by Second Uncle Qi again.
Chi Shuyan gave Qi Hao a few more looks. This guy wasn’t afraid of offending Longhu Mountain today and directly spoke up for her. She would give him a few bottles of Nourishment Pills later.
Just then, Grandpa Qi finally spoke and indirectly acknowledged Chi Shuyan’s ident.i.ty. “Perfected Zhang, this is Zhenbai’s wife. As for Zhenbai and Celestial Master Li, it seems that there has been some misunderstanding between the two children. I know Zhenbai’s character very well. He won’t admit to something he’s never done, but if he really has done something, he won’t s.h.i.+rk responsibility!”
Perfected Zhang’s face turned very ugly at that moment. He had indeed come to the Qi family for something, but Li Sangyu had embarra.s.sed him tremendously. He had thought that there really was something going on with Ninth Master Qi and Sangyu because of Sangyu’s words, but who would have thought that it was all wishful thinking on her part.
Perfected Zhang’s face burned with pain at that moment, to say nothing of Li Sangyu. The Qi family looked at her strangely and she was humiliated by the man she liked. She itched to find a hole to crawl into.
Li Sangyu looked heartbroken and still wanted to say something, but was cut off by Celestial Master Zhang, who said he would visit again in a few days before he took her away.
Before she left, Li Sangyu’s resentful and poisonous gaze gave Chi Shuyan gooseb.u.mps all over her body.
But Chi Shuyan really wasn’t afraid of that woman. Thinking of how her forehead was covered with black qi, it seemed that this woman had gotten unlucky lately and her life might be in danger.
For some reason, Chi Shuyan suddenly thought of the Zhao family.
Li Sangyu’s bad luck must have something to do with the Zhao family.
But when she thought of Li Sangyu sympathizing with those d.a.m.n star-crossed lovers, she was speechless. Of course, Chi Shuyan wasn’t looking down on human and ghost relations.h.i.+ps, nor was she prejudiced against it!
There were indeed good ghosts, as well as truly unforgettable human and ghost love stories.
But that was only if you were absolutely sure that it was a good ghost, not a malicious spirit. Not to mention the fact that the daughter of the Zhao family had fallen in love with a malicious spirit, what she had taken a fancy to was the ghost’s looks, alright? What true feelings were there between them?!
Whatever the case, she completely looked down on the relations.h.i.+p between that daughter of the Zhao family and that malicious spirit.
Seeing that his wife had bent her head and wasn’t saying anything, Qi Zhenbai thought that she had misunderstood something. He panicked and his usually calm and taut expression almost cracked. He hurriedly grabbed her wrist, and for the first time in his life, bothered to give an explanation as he said in a low voice, “I only met that woman once. Do you believe me?”
“I do!” Of course she believed him!
Qi Zhenbai heaved a huge sigh of relief in his heart, but his grip on her wrist increased instead of relaxing.
Chi Shuyan opened her mouth at that moment. “I do believe you. I just thought of something fun!”
She raised her eyes to meet the man’s indiscernible gaze and subconsciously said, “I just saw that that woman surnamed Li seemed to have run into some bad luck recently, and I was gloating!”
