This day at noon, Yan Shouyi took a car to Rongcheng Airport.
To set a trap for the Zhao family, Yan Shouyi, for the first time, sought help from Yan Chou. Yan Chou did not waste words, and immediately assigned two people to support Yan Shouyi.
However, Yan Chou did not mention their names, only telling Yan Shouyi to pick them up at the airport at noon the day before.
Yan Shouyi was very curious about the two people coming to support him, so he set off early.
The driver was a middle-aged uncle. As soon as Yan Shouyi got into the car, he noticed a small card attached to the back of the front seat.
It read: "Dear passenger, this is my dad's first day driving a taxi. He might not recognize all the routes, so please don't blame him. Thank you!"
The card also had a smiling face drawn on it.
Yan Shouyi couldn't help but chuckle and said to the driver, "Master, did your child write this card?"
The driver also looked a bit embarrassed. "Yes, my daughter wrote it. This little girl is only in junior high school this year. She was worried I'd make mistakes and get scolded on my first day driving a taxi, so she put this up in the car. Please excuse her."
This small card carried the child's love. Looking at the card, Yan Shouyi's mood improved significantly.
However, after the car started moving, Yan Shouyi realized that the driver's complexion was not good, as if he were surrounded by bad luck. If left unchecked, he would surely face a bloody disaster today.
The driver also casually complained, "It's strange. This is my first time driving a taxi, and I don't really know the market, but I've been driving around all morning and only met you, one passenger. Is the taxi industry really this difficult?"
In reality, it wasn't that the taxi industry was difficult, but rather a problem with the driver himself.
When bad luck strikes, passengers would unconsciously avoid him. Even if they saw his taxi, they would instinctively step back, waiting for the next car.
The reason Yan Shouyi got into the car was mainly because he was special and directly ignored such bad luck.
Yan Shouyi asked, "Master, would you mind telling me your birth date and time?"
The driver smiled, "Are you trying to tell my fortune, young man?"
"I only know a little. Perhaps I can help you change your luck."
"Sure, my birth date and time are..."
Upon receiving the driver's birth date and time, Yan Shouyi couldn't help but frown. This master's element was metal, corresponding to white or gold colors, but this taxi was red.
While the car color being different from his element was not a major issue, fire overcomes metal, and the color corresponding to fire is red or purple.
This meant that on his very first day on the road, the master was driving a car that was in conflict with his destiny, naturally causing him to miss out on wealth and potentially face a bloody disaster.
However, if it were just a matter of elemental conflict, it shouldn't have caused such a serious situation. There must be something else in the car exerting an influence.
Yan Shouyi looked around and quickly focused on a string of amulets hanging from the rearview mirror.
Normal amulets were folded into a triangular shape, but the amulet before him was square, which was completely different from the amulets Yan Shouyi knew.
He couldn't help but ask, "Master, where did you get this amulet?"
The master replied, "This? My wife picked it up from outside yesterday. It looked like an amulet, so I just hung it in the car."
Yan Shouyi's eye twitched. "Master, amulets are consecrated for individuals. If you pick up someone else's amulet, it won't bring you peace; it might even bring disaster!"
"Is that so?"
The master was surprised, but when it came to such matters, it was better to believe it than not. So he immediately pulled it off, intending to throw it out the window.
Yan Shouyi quickly stopped him. "Let me take a look."
"Then you must throw it away after you look. Don't keep it in my car! Bad luck!"
Taking the amulet, Yan Shouyi unfolded it and discovered that it bore the name of Sixiang Mountain.
He was greatly surprised.
Sixiang Mountain was secretly founded by Tong Jingcheng, a genius rarely seen in the Lushan Sect in a thousand years. Yan Shouyi had already eliminated Tong Jingcheng, and Sixiang Mountain no longer existed. Yet now he saw a talisman from Sixiang Mountain. Could it be that Sixiang Mountain had risen from the ashes?
It seemed he needed to have Lu Jing investigate this matter.
Yan Shouyi silently tore the talisman apart and put it in his pocket.
Upon arriving at the airport and getting out of the car, Yan Shouyi reminded the driver that it would be best to change the car's color, preferably to black or blue.
The driver readily agreed, but whether he would actually do it was not something Yan Shouyi could control.
Fortunately, they reached the airport safely. If Yan Shouyi hadn't found the Sixiang Mountain talisman, the journey would have been far from peaceful.
As soon as he got out of the car, Yan Shouyi suddenly received a call from Yan Nanfei.
"Hello? Senior brother Yan, what can I do for you?"
Yan Nanfei said in a deep voice on the phone, "You've been kicked out of the group, right?"
Yan Shouyi paused. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I just saw in the group that the Zhao family did not fulfill their promise. Instead, they sent people to arrive in Rongcheng in advance, planning to attack you quietly," Yan Nanfei said.
"Is that so?!" Yan Shouyi was startled.
"Yes. They thought everyone in the group was your enemy, so they leaked their plan. Fortunately, I saw it," Yan Nanfei warned. "You'd better be careful and don't get ambushed by the Zhao family."
"I understand. Thank you, senior brother Yan. I'll treat you to drinks when I go to Kunlun Mountain another day!"
"Alright, I'll remember it. You owe me a drink."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Shouyi took a deep breath, his expression turning grim.
In fact, Yan Shouyi had expected the Zhao family to make such a move. How could the Zhao family not know that the trip to Rongcheng was a trap? It would be foolish of them to come obediently according to the rules.
However, Yan Shouyi's original intention was not to exterminate the Zhao family, but to resolve the conflict peacefully if possible.
Now that the other party had made a move and laid out a plan in advance, Yan Shouyi's attitude had to change accordingly.
Then, he couldn't help but smile. "I was originally worried I wouldn't have any leverage for negotiations with the Zhao family. But now, the Zhao family has voluntarily delivered the leverage!"
He walked quickly towards the airport's arrivals hall, found a corner, and sat down, carefully observing every traveler emerging from the airport.
The Zhao family was from the Northeast. If they wanted to come to Rongcheng, they would have to fly, and Rongcheng only had one airport.
Therefore, by waiting here, he was bound to encounter the Zhao family's vanguard.
He sat there for an hour. He didn't see any Zhao family members, but he did see plenty of beautiful women.
Just as he was feeling guilty, a group of people walked out of the arrivals hall. They were wearing overcoats and sunglasses, about twenty in total, with stern faces and an unapproachable demeanor.
Just by looking at their attire and aura, one could guess that this group was not ordinary. But what truly confirmed their identity for Yan Shouyi was the faint scent of demonic energy emanating from them.
After all, as divine mediums, they had weasels attached to them, which would inevitably reveal some demonic energy. This made it convenient for Yan Shouyi.
"They're here."
Yan Shouyi muttered to himself and quietly stood up.
