Chapter 216: Default

When Bai Wuchang and the evil spirit disappeared into the air, the temperature of the entire room began to rise immediately and soon returned to normal.

Aside from Lu Yichen and Zhao Xuanlang, everyone else's gaze towards Zhong Nianyao had undergone a drastic change. Those who had originally doubted her due to her age now looked at her with awe.

"Okay, everything's settled." Zhong Nianyao looked at the parents and said directly, "Five million each. Just transfer it to my account when the time comes."

"What? Five million?"

No one else had any objections, but Wu's mother immediately jumped up and said, "You want five million like this? Why don't you just rob it?"

After all, she came from a humble background, and when she heard Zhong Nianyao asking for five million, she couldn't hold back. After all, although she married Wu's father, her family was humble, and her family didn't provide her with much. She only had one million in pocket money from Wu's father every month. Now, Zhong Nianyao asked for five million after just a short while, and she couldn't accept it.

"Shut up." Father Wu wanted to stop Mother Wu, but it was too late.

"I'm robbing!" Zhong Nianyao looked at Wu's mother and smiled coldly, "I'm just robbing the money. Do you have any objections? If you don't want to give it, then forget it."

This answer made everyone stunned.

Obviously, no one thought that it would be possible not to pay.

However, except for Wu's mother, no one present had any intention of shirking their responsibility. After all, Zhong Nianyao had truly saved their child. Moreover, they had witnessed Zhong Nianyao's abilities.

Life is long, and who knows if there will be a time when you can ask for help from others! For such a capable person, you can only make friends with him, and never make enemies with him.

Moreover, for families like theirs, five million was just a number. There was no need to offend a Heavenly Master for five million; that was too irrational.

When she heard that she didn't have to pay, Wu's mother's eyes lit up. She pushed Wu's father away and said excitedly, "Really?"

"Really." Zhong Nianyao nodded, then her eyes fell on Wu Guangji, "However, since he hasn't been paid, his life is naturally in jeopardy."

She has no connection with these people, so it's impossible for her to work in vain.

Mother Wu's expression suddenly changed. "What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple," Zhong Nianyao said indifferently, "Since you are unwilling to give your son's life-saving money, then your son's life will naturally be lost."

Mother Wu was anxious and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Father Wu.

When she looked up and saw her husband's stern eyes, she shrank back and dared not say anything.

Father Wu looked at Zhong Nianyao and apologized quickly, "Miss Zhong, my wife is ignorant. Please don't bother with her. I'll send someone to transfer the five million to your account right away."

When he was young, he liked pretty faces. Now that he is older, he regrets his choice. However, for the sake of his children, he has never thought of divorce.

But today, when he saw his wife almost killing their son, the thought of divorce came into his mind for the first time.

Zhong Nianyao nodded, looked around, and said, "The female ghost has been dealt with, and you won't be in any danger. However, in the past few days, because of the female ghost, a lot of your vitality has been sucked away. During this period, your bodies will be very weak."

"You should get more rest. When you have time, go get some sun and get rid of the negative energy in your body. This will be good for you. Also, because you are contaminated with negative energy, you will be particularly unlucky recently. Don't go out casually, especially at night. Also, don't go to places like cemeteries, so as not to see anything you shouldn't."

After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Zhou Shaohua and others nodded repeatedly.

In fact, even if they were really asked to go out now, they wouldn’t dare!

"It's better not to do things like summoning the Pen Fairy in the future, because you don't know whether it is a fairy or a ghost." Zhong Nianyao glanced at these people, "There are still many taboos left by our ancestors that need to be observed."

Zhou Shaohua had a bitter smile on his face. "I've already lost half my life just this time. I'll never dare to do something like this again!"

"Yes! Yes!" Several other people echoed.

After the matter was resolved, the other three people went home with their parents.

As for Zhong Nianyao, at the strong invitation of Zhou Huaian and Sun Qin, she finally stayed for dinner before leaving.

Since Zhong Nianyao didn't leave, Lu Yichen naturally didn't leave either.

As for Zhao Xuanlang, he stayed consciously.

At the dinner table, Zhou Huaian and Sun Qin kept expressing their gratitude to Zhong Nianyao. Although they had already paid Zhong Nianyao five million as a reward, they knew in their hearts that this five million was not enough to buy their son's life.

Zhong Nianyao was not affected too much and just ate her meal.

However, after finishing dinner, Zhong Nianyao put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Zhou Shaohua, and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice. Stay away from your friend named Ling Chao. Otherwise, one day, you will be cheated badly."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huaian and Sun Qin immediately became alert and became serious.

After what happened today, they now have complete faith in Zhong Nian Yao.

"Shaohua, I know you may value your friendship with Ling Chao, but you may not have a clear idea of what kind of person he is." Zhou Huaian said, "I don't ask you to break up with him, but when you interact with him in the future, you must be careful not to open up to him."

"That's right." Sun Qin also echoed from the side.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."

If he had heard such words before, he would definitely not listen. However, after learning about the blood pact today, Ling Chao's words of wanting to stay out of it made him have a new understanding of his good brother.

Even without Zhong Nianyao's warning today, he had already planned to stay away from Ling Chao in the future.

After dinner, Zhong Nian Yao got up and said goodbye.

After going out, Zhong Nian Yao and Lu Yi Chen drove away directly, leaving Zhao Xuanlang alone at the door, looking at the car going away, feeling like crying but unable to cry.
