Chapter 87: There is hope for opening a store!

In a flash, Jiang Hongyi hugged Qi Xu with his left hand, and quickly took out a bayonet from the back of his waist with his right hand and swung it fiercely towards the place where the black air was fleeing.

The black gas was instantly split in half, and its speed was obviously much slower.

At this time, Qi Xu also noticed something was wrong under his feet, and quickly grabbed the little ghost on his head and threw him down, "Little ghost, go quickly, there are snacks."

The little ghost flew over in the direction of her finger, and in one gulp, he sucked up all the black air that was broken into two pieces. He didn't forget to smack his lips and shake his head to show that he was not satisfied enough.

After handling the scene, Qi Xu subconsciously looked around and soon found the problematic short-haired guy from last time, who was lowering his head to untie the fishing net.

Qi Xu narrowed his eyes and snorted.

He is really a mean person, and everything he does is not worthy of being seen in public.

After she finished complaining, an idea suddenly occurred to her. She threw the little ghost on top of her head and pulled the front of Jiang Hongyi's clothes with her right hand and shook it.

Jiang Hongyi followed her and walked forward.

"Hello, young man. Are you with Zou Yaojie? Do you know how long it will take for them to come back this time? I have something I want to ask him."

Qi Xu’s main goal is to take the initiative. She wants to see whether the person possessed by evil spirits has a flexible brain.

"Zou Yaojie? Boss? They just went out to sea. It usually takes three or four hours for the team to come back."

The man with a short haircut looked up at Qi Xu and answered word by word, then lowered his head to untie the fishing net.

"Is that so? Then do you know where Zou Yaojie's new store is? What's its name?"

"Shop name? New store? You mean the fish shop? I've never been there, so I don't know where it is."

Hearing this answer, Qi Xu was sure that Zou Yaojie had listened to her and did not let this short-haired guy get involved in any important matters.

Judging from the conversation, the man with a short haircut is no different from ordinary people. It is estimated that nothing abnormal will be discovered in a short period of time. As long as the contact time between others and him is reduced as much as possible, it will not cause any impact.

However, Qi Xu could still see the faint black aura around him.

"Thank you."

After saying goodbye politely, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi walked towards the family compound. On the way, they agreed to come back after dinner in the afternoon.

The sun soon hid behind the mountain, leaving only a faint light, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

When the two of them went out, they even put on an extra coat.

"Hello, are you the one who came to buy fish from me a few hours ago?"

Zou Yaojie saw two people coming from afar and took the initiative to stand up from the stone to greet them.

"Yes, to buy fish. I wanted to ask where your new shop is. Take us there and we'll pick out two fish."

"Okay, okay, I like dealing with people like you who are straightforward and efficient."

Zou Yaojie instantly felt that his half-hour wait was not in vain, and he took the two of them directly to his newly opened shop.

"Hey? Who introduced you here? Were you one of my old customers?"

Zou Yaojie only remembered this when the three of them just arrived at the store.

"Ahem, no need for introduction. I know you opened a new store, but I don't know where it is."

After Qi Xu cleared his throat, his voice immediately changed to that of a middle-aged man.

"You! You! Are you the Master?"

"master?"

Zou Yaojie's tone became higher and higher, and finally made a 360-degree turn.

He circled Qi Xu three times in disbelief, looking him up and down with a suspicious look that never relaxed from beginning to end, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Qi Xu casually took out the amulet she had written from her pocket and handed it to him, "Look, is this the same amulet I gave you?"

"Still no luck, do you want me to tell you about your recent fortune?"

Zou Yaojie took the amulet from her hand and looked at it over and over again compared to the amulet in his own arms.

"Master? You! You! You are actually a woman?"

Zou Yaojie's voice and hands trembled. He still couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was the master from back then.

"Ahem, who says women can't be masters?"

"I came to see you because I really have something to discuss with you about cooperation."

Qi Xu didn't want to waste too much time on such useless things, so he forced himself to get back to the topic.

Zou Yaojie didn't expect that the master would consider working with him despite his character.

"You said, you said, Master, you want to cooperate with me to sell fish?"

"I'm not buying fish, I just want to ask you if you can catch any scallops or clams out at sea, the kind that produce pearls. I'd like to open a shop similar to an energy bead shop. Could you please supply me with pearls and seawater pearls that can be strung together to make jewelry?"

While Qi Xu was speaking, he also looked into the large iron basin behind him. He looked around but didn't find any scallops or clams.

"Scallops and clams? No one wants those. Few people like them, so they're hard to sell. When I was sea fishing, I picked them up on the boat and threw them back into the sea."

Zou Yaojie rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, "Can that thing make money?"

"Yes, you can make a lot of money. Next time you go out to sea, don't throw away the scallops and clams. Bring them back to your shop and help me raise them..."

Qi Xu thought that without ready-made pearls, she had no way to make a similar string of beads, nor could she cast a spell on the string of beads.

"By the way, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you know anyone who works in mining?"

"Miner, I actually know one. It's the mine in the southwest of the island. I heard they mine some kind of metal or crystal. I'm not sure about the details, so I'm afraid you'll have to go there in person, Master."

Zou Yaojie was very glad that he could still help the master. "The seafood you requested, I will go out to sea next time. No, tomorrow I will go out to sea and pull back all the scallops and clams in the net for you to choose from."

As he spoke, he subconsciously stood up straight. When he turned his head, he saw Jiang Hongyi next to him.

"Oh, isn't this the guy who saved us last time, that..."

"That's the one in the rescue team...the savior!"

A light bulb went off in Zou Yaojie's mind, and in an instant he remembered where he had met Jiang Hongyi.

Then he hugged Jiang Hongyi's hand with gratitude, which made Jiang Hongyi feel a little embarrassed.

"We also serve the people, and protecting them is our duty."

Jiang Hongyi responded in a very official and polite manner.

Qi Xu looked at the two people who had suddenly become lively and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Jiang Hongyi."

This introduction was incredible. Zou Yaojie was even more excited after it was finished. He kept saying, "What a perfect match, what a perfect match. You two look like a perfect couple."

This made Qi Xu a little embarrassed. "Ahem, this is off topic. Remember to help me keep an eye out for scallops and clams tomorrow."

Zou Yaojie's unusual excitement made Qi Xu feel that the two of them could not stay together any longer.

After a brief farewell, Qi Xu took Jiang Hongyi and slipped away.

"I remember that Xiaohao's family seems to have a mineral business. Do you want to go and ask them?"

Just after leaving the market, Jiang Hongyi expressed his uncertain impression.

"Really?" Qi Xu turned to him, blinking her round eyes, looking unexpectedly cute.

"Well, if I remember correctly, it should be."

Then, the two of them changed directions tacitly and walked towards Xiaohao's house together.

Xiaohao's house is quite some distance away from the market, and it takes the two of them about ten minutes to walk there.

"I've thought about it and decided it's better not to let Xiaohao's family know that I'm a master."

"It won't have much of an impact, actually. Many people in the family compound know you have some metaphysical skills."
