Chapter 54 Chance Encounter with the Campus Belle
"Master Mo Yang, what should I do? If this continues, I'll be ruined!" Qian Shaokang knew it was due to the Yin Sha Feng Shui formation and pleaded with Master Mo Yang.
Master Mo Yang was also in a difficult position; he didn't know how to resolve this malevolent energy.
"How about I send someone to kill that kid right now?" Qian Shaokang's expression turned cold, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Master Mo Yang shook his head and sternly said, "Don't cause further trouble. If you truly send someone to kill, karmic retribution will likely bring five or even ten times more people to kill you. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't drag me down." WAP.KANSHUWU.NET
Qian Shaokang flinched, his face contorted in a mournful expression, "Then what should we do?"
Master Mo Yang took a breath, gritted his teeth, "It seems I have to call my teacher!"
Qian Shaokang's face finally showed a hint of joy.
If Master Mo Yang was already so formidable, then Master Mo Yang's teacher must be even more powerful! They would surely be able to resolve this matter.
Thus, Mo Yang eagerly called his teacher.
As soon as the call connected, Master Mo Yang asked, "Teacher, when will you be returning?"
Seeing the usually haughty Master Mo Yang adopt a subservient demeanor towards his teacher, Qian Shaokang could tell.
He could guess with his toes how formidable Master Mo Yang's teacher was, and his heart felt a sense of assurance.
Master Mo Yang's teacher replied calmly, "I have matters to attend to in the provincial capital. I will definitely return in two days."
Master Mo Yang couldn't help but say, "Two days? Teacher, please return sooner, I've run into big trouble here."
"Oh? What have you encountered?"
Master Mo Yang hung up and made a video call to his teacher. Upon seeing Mo Yang's facial features, his teacher's expression changed drastically. He said word by word, "Ghost Sha Feng Shui Formation?!"
He immediately reprimanded, "Feng Shui and metaphysics are meant for blessing. Who dares to use such sinister mystical arts to harm others?"
Master Mo Yang's teacher was a righteous man who detested evil Feng Shui practices.
Master Mo Yang dared not admit that he had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. A spark of inspiration struck him, and he twisted the truth, saying, "That guy, in order to help the Liu family obtain a piece of land worth a billion from the Qian family, cast spells for them and caused harm. President Qian has suffered immensely and sought help from the Dragon Tiger Hall. I stepped in righteously, but unexpectedly, that guy actually used the Ghost Sha Feng Shui Formation, such an evil Feng Shui mystical art!"
Mo Yang's teacher was furious, "How despicable! To abuse Feng Shui metaphysics for personal gain!"
Mo Yang nodded, "Who can say otherwise."
Mo Yang's teacher said, "Mo Yang, this Ghost Sha Feng Shui Formation involves karmic ties, and as your teacher, I cannot help you resolve it. However, once I return, I will personally confront that treacherous and evil individual and make them resolve this Ghost Sha Feng Shui Formation for you."
Master Mo Yang's face lit up with joy.
His teacher was powerful and resourceful. With his teacher involved, it would naturally be a sure thing.
Master Mo Yang's teacher continued, "In that case, have someone go to my residence and retrieve two protective jade talismans to temporarily suppress the ill fortune caused by the Ghost Sha."
"I'll send someone right away."
Master Mo Yang nodded hastily and immediately arranged for someone to fetch the protective jade talismans personally made by Mo Yang's teacher.
Master Mo Yang clenched his fist and said, "Kid, you wait to die. When my teacher returns, I'll see how you kneel and beg for mercy!"
Qian Shaokang also nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with malice, cursing Chen Xuan's ancestors in his heart.
"Achoo!"
Chen Xuan, lying on his bed, sneezed suddenly, waking from his sleep.
He frowned and muttered, "Who's talking about me?"
His thoughts raced, and he looked up to see that it had just passed the Yin hour. He raised an eyebrow, seemingly realizing something.
He quickly performed a finger divination and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "A Ghost Sha formation with ten times the power? They'd choke to death even drinking cold water!"
Chen Xuan felt no sympathy for people like Master Mo Yang and Qian Shaokang; such people brought their misfortunes upon themselves.
When they used Feng Shui evil arts to harm others, they should have foreseen such consequences.
Chen Xuan turned over and lay down, falling into a deep sleep a moment later.
...
The pill supply was running low, so the next morning, Chen Xuan drove straight to a pharmacy.
Unexpectedly, the female clerk at the traditional Chinese medicine store was Chen Xuan's high school classmate, Zhang Mengqi.
Zhang Mengqi had been the campus belle during Chen Xuan's middle school years.
However, she was always preoccupied with dressing herself up elaborately, and it was rumored that she never even got into college.
Zhang Mengqi was now wearing heavy makeup, with thick foundation that seemed about to flake off as she walked, and her hair was permed into a voluminous brown wave.
Although she wore a white coat, hints of pink lingerie could be seen, and her slender legs were encased in black stockings. She wore a pair of high-heeled shoes.
Overall, she appeared extremely sexy and alluring.
This was a high-end pharmacy, and those who frequented it were typically successful individuals worth millions. Chen Xuan's appearance there surprised her.
Could Chen Xuan have struck it rich?
Her expression immediately became enthusiastic, "Isn't this Chen Xuan? What are you doing here?"
Chen Xuan didn't expect that after so many years, the former campus belle would still be so enthusiastic. He remembered that back then, this campus belle had always treated him with indifference. He smiled and greeted her, "Zhang Mengqi, I didn't expect you to be working here? I came here wanting to buy some medicinal herbs."
Zhang Mengqi smiled, "What kind of herbs are you looking for?"
Chen Xuan said casually, "Do you happen to have any century-old herbs?"
Zhang Mengqi's eyes lit up.
Century-old herbs cost at least hundreds of thousands, and the more expensive ones were at least a million. This old classmate seemed to have truly made a fortune!
Why hadn't she noticed before that Chen Xuan, this "loser," had such potential?
However, their store didn't currently have any century-old herbs, but that didn't stop her from trying to curry favor with Chen Xuan.
Just as Zhang Mengqi leaned in enthusiastically, her gaze casually swept over Chen Xuan, and seeing his tattered clothes, her demeanor cooled significantly.
Damn it, you poor loser, you still want to buy ancient herbs?
You're just trying to pick me up, aren't you?!
She put her hands on her hips, pouted, and said, "Chen Xuan, are you kidding me? We only have traditional Chinese medicine here. We have plantain seeds planted in spring, peonies planted in summer, cassia seeds planted in autumn, and salvia planted in winter. How could we possibly have century-old herbs? Besides, even if we did, could you afford it?"
Chen Xuan frowned, "Zhang Mengqi, what do you mean?"
Zhang Mengqi sneered, "What do I mean? Isn't it obvious enough? You bumpkin, you want to buy century-old herbs. Haven't you looked in a mirror? Do you think you can afford it?"
"Aren't you just here to show off and make me your girlfriend? Everyone knows you had a crush on me back then. Li Jiajia dumped you, and all your classmates know about it. You think I'll take something that Li Jiajia didn't want?"
Chen Xuan clenched his fists and said coldly, "Zhang Mengqi, what exactly do you mean by that?"
Zhang Mengqi crossed her arms, assuming an arrogant posture, and said playfully, "Chen Xuan, are you still pretending? How could we have ancient herbs here? Only large auction houses occasionally have them, like Tianyuan Auction House. I heard that at the last auction, a spirit herb worth seventy-five million was sold! I heard the wealthy person who bid so generously was quite young!"
Speaking of which, Zhang Mengqi's eyes became dreamy, and then she glanced at Chen Xuan coldly, "If you were that wealthy person, I'd be your girlfriend right now."
