Chapter 1061: Ghost Subst.i.tute, Swindler
Compared with the others who stared blankly and grew increasingly alarmed after listening to Chi Shuyan, Jiang Duo was the only weirdo among the group of young men. He immediately nodded at what Chi Shuyan said and blurted out like a diehard fan, “Master Chi is so good!” After saying that, he even clapped enthusiastically!
Chi Shuyan: …
Lu Yunfeng: …
The others: …
Although Chi Shuyan was a money-grubber, it was all on principle: As long as the other party didn’t offend her, she would take what she deserved and wouldn’t be too greedy.
Lu Yunfeng didn’t feel that Sister-in-law was scamming him at all. If he had known, he would have secretly told her that these boys were rich when he called her.
Jiang Duo also felt that tens of millions was well worth it to save his life. Almost as soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, he immediately said that he had no objections. After that, he saw that the others were silent, and he got Chang Hao, Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying, whom he was closer to, to immediately agree.
He was now very curious about the benefits that Master Chi would give them. It had to be pointed out that the things in Master Chi’s Taobao shop were all precious and good stuff. He would be happy if he didn’t have to fight for them and could just buy them outright, no matter how much they cost.
Stupefied and bewildered, Chang Hao, Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying agreed under Jiang Duo’s enthusiastic persuasion.
Wei Panyang was the first to object. He said arrogantly to Chi Shuyan, “Miss…”
Chi Shuyan didn’t take his tone seriously and said unhurriedly, “My surname is Chi and my name is Shuyan. You can call me by my name!”
Wei Panyang was a very arrogant hedonistic son of a wealthy family. Only others could curry favor with him. Tens of millions was nothing to him, but he didn’t believe that the little girl in front of him was some powerful Celestial Master, not to mention whether or not there were ghosts in this world.
Although w.a.n.g Yu and Shen Zhihua’s deaths one after another had been a huge and terrifying blow, the police also said that Shen Zhihua might have committed suicide. It couldn’t be ruled out that w.a.n.g Yu’s death had also been an accident – running into a ghost was the most absurd reason.
Recently, because of Shen Zhihua’s sudden death, who knew where the word “ghost” came from, but the group started to become half-convinced that it really was the doing of a ghost. It wasn’t until Lu Yunfeng brought them to a young lady and said that she was a “Celestial Master” that Wei Panyang increasingly felt that it was too absurd and unbelievable. At that moment, he asked in a provocative tone, “How old are you now, Miss Chi? What business are you in?”
Wei Panyang’s question drew everyone’s attention. Lu Yunfeng and Jiang Duo’s faces changed when they heard Wei Panyang doubt Chi Shuyan.
Wei Panyang pretended not to see the changes in their expressions. Jiang Duo was about to speak up for Chi Shuyan, but Wei Panyang beat him to it. “Ah Duo, in the end, this concerns our lives. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to ask a few questions, right?”
Chi Shuyan spoke before Jiang Duo could say anything. “Of course, no problem.” She then answered Wei Panyang’s question and said, “19 years old. I’m a freshman at Yanjing University.”
Hearing this, Wei Panyang smiled and scoffed in his heart. He asked provocatively, “Miss Chi, are you a Celestial Master?”
“Just about!”
“What do you mean just about? Or, Miss Chi, are you admitting that you’re only a half-baked Celestial Master? No, not even that?” Wei Panyang’s tone was provocative, skeptical and aggressive. He stopped just short of directly calling Chi Shuyan a swindler!
