Chapter 261: Qi Zhenbai’s Crisis
The next day, Chi Shuyan felt comfortable all over after cultivating all night.
She had something on today, and let Qi Zhenbai know before she went out. Seeing that this man’s eyes hadn’t left her since early in the morning, however, she felt a little uncertain.
Because the effects of the low-grade marrow cleansing decoction yesterday were unexpectedly good, coupled with the fact that she was now on the path of a cultivator, the feeling she gave off was completely different and very eye-catching.
She was still the same person, but it felt like she had completely changed. It hadn’t been obvious last night, but her skin was now very fair; not pale white, but a very natural porcelain white.
Her features had become more beautiful because of the spiritual energy which filled her body. Her temperament was outstanding, and coupled with her fitted clothes, she was more and more eye-catching.
In fact, Chi Shuyan really hadn’t paid attention to what she was wearing. She was going out to work and not on a date. Why would she care about what she was wearing?
She was wearing a white blouse and a pair of jeans. It was a very common outfit, but somehow, she looked different in it.
Seeing that this woman was becoming more and more beautiful, Qi Zhenbai actually felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He really didn’t want this woman to go out; what was he going to do?
He couldn’t help but look at the woman’s fair collarbones and skin in front of him with a frown. After Chi Shuyan finished her porridge, she ignored the man’s increasingly profound gaze and planned to run away.
“Wait!” Qi Zhenbai suddenly said.
“Is there anything else?” Chi Shuyan asked in bewilderment.
“You still have two more b.u.t.tons to do! b.u.t.ton them up before you go out!” Qi Zhenbai said.
Chi Shuyan thought she had misheard. “What?”
Qi Zhenbai still felt that the two b.u.t.tons at his wife’s collar were too irksome, and her fair collarbones dazzled the eye. At the thought of other men staring at his wife’s fair collarbones, a violent impulse inexplicably rose in his heart.
He said composedly, “Be good, you look even better when it’s b.u.t.toned up!”
Chi Shuyan was puzzled by this man’s aesthetic taste, but she didn’t think much of it and b.u.t.toned up casually. When she stepped out the door, she felt that the b.u.t.tons were too tight and she couldn’t breathe, so she undid them.
She first went to find Lu Yunfeng with the spirit rice and also set up an array at his house. She was warmly welcomed by the Lu family patriarch and Lu Yunfeng, and they even wanted her to stay for dinner. She was with the Lu family for a while, then found an excuse to leave and didn’t stay for dinner.
She found the person who had posted the a.s.signment, then went to the friend’s house based on the address she had been given. When she got there, she saw that the family had already found another Celestial Master.
The person who had issued the a.s.signment was obviously a little embarra.s.sed, his face turning green and white in anger.
The family had also found a female Celestial Master, but she came from Longhu Mountain, which was very famous in the capital, and which was why the family had decided to invite Li Sangyu.
Li Sangyu was displeased when she saw that the family had found both her and another Celestial Master. She looked at the little girl in front of her and sized her up silently.
Chi Shuyan’s gaze also swept over her as she observed the other party.
The person who issued the a.s.signment and the family were afraid of offending the two Celestial Masters, and they quickly apologized. In the end, the family and the person who issued the a.s.signment said that they still wanted to invite the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.
The person who issued the mission was surnamed Qian. Considering his friends.h.i.+p with this family, he could only apologize to Chi Shuyan personally with an embarra.s.sed look. He also put together a red packet and said, “Celestial Master Chi, I’m really sorry. I didn’t discuss it properly with my friend’s family and made you come here for nothing! Why don’t you take a look at my family’s feng shui instead?”
How could Chi Shuyan not know that he didn’t want to offend her? Looking at his family’s feng shui was just an excuse. She felt some regret that she had come for nothing. She wouldn’t be able to earn money here, but she wasn’t an unreasonable person. She knew that this matter largely had nothing to do with this Qian person. Since the family had decided to invite the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, she wouldn’t stay any longer.
Li Sangyu, on the other hand, wasn’t as easygoing as Chi Shuyan. She suddenly said with a cold face, “Since your family found someone else, that means you doubt my abilities and don’t believe in my Longhu Mountain’s skills!”
