Seeing that the three people had been arrested, Si Jinyan realized that he hadn't collected the money yet.

Her calculations were clearly very accurate.

The words "divine strategy and ingenious calculation" are written on the Pingjin sail.

Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Si Jinyan packed up his stall, took the Pingjin sail, and left.

She found a hotel to stay in. In this capital city, a room costs at least 300 yuan. Si Jinyan's heart was bleeding.

"Even a hero can be brought down by a penny."

She glanced at her phone's balance, sighed, tossed the phone onto the bed, and prepared to take a shower.

With a slight thought, a set of pajamas appeared in her hands.

She took off the lotus hairpin that held her long hair and put it into her Qiankun bag.

These two items were her treasures, and also the most prized possessions of Lingxu Temple.

The Azure Lotus Hairpin can transform into the Azure Lotus Sword, for her use, and only for her use.

The Qiankun Bag can contain all inanimate objects in the world, and it contains daily necessities and various props such as talismans and cinnabar.

My master said that these two items were left behind by the founder of Lingxu Temple, Fairy Qinglian, and have been passed down for over a thousand years.

Inside the temple, there is also a golden statue of the Blue Lotus Fairy.

At this time, Si Jinyan also carried this golden statue with him.

Because the master has already gone down the mountain.

As is customary, she placed the golden statue in the room, then took an incense burner and placed it in front of it, lighting three sticks of incense to worship the ancestral master.

However, the golden statue was not made very finely, and the fairy's appearance was not clearly visible.

After doing all this, Si Jinyan put the golden statue away.

When they were children, Lingxu Temple was always treated as an orphanage. Over time, the number of worshippers decreased, while the number of orphans increased.

At first, Master Lingxu was able to hire one or two village women to help take care of the animals, but later he ran out of money and stopped taking them in.

Si Jinyan was the last orphan; the others had long since passed away.

All of this is also related to her return to the Jiang family when she was nine years old.

After taking a shower, I lay in bed scrolling through my WeChat Moments and saw that my master, Lingxu Daoren, was on vacation in Bali with his group of old friends.

Sunshine, sand, and bikini-clad beauties—in the picture, my mentor is happily playing beach volleyball with a bikini-clad woman.

"Master, when are you coming back?" Si Jinyan sent a message, pursing his lips.

She started going down the mountain at the age of fourteen to tell fortunes and exorcise evil spirits. Her master even told her to charge the villagers less money.

She only charges between tens and hundreds of yuan each time.

"Those who aspire to morality will not be burdened by fame and fortune; those who aspire to fame and fortune will not be burdened by wealth and status."

Her master often murmured in her ear, so her WeChat balance is now less than a thousand yuan.

It was already light by six in the morning; the summer sky always gets light very early.

Si Jinyan was still lying in bed when she heard someone banging on her door.

"Are you sure this is the right room?" A woman's voice questioned from outside the door, carrying an arrogant and haughty tone.

"Madam Jiang, this is the room." The voice must have belonged to the lobby manager.

Si Jinyan quickly put on his clothes, not expecting the Jiang family to come looking for him so soon.

The Jiang family is now a powerful and wealthy family in the capital, and they are not someone that a small hotel like this can afford to offend.

Clearly, given the choice between abandoning her as a customer and offending the Jiang family, the manager chose to abandon her.

Si Jinyan could understand; after all, the lobby manager was just an employee, how could he afford to offend the Jiang family?

"Then open the door!" Madam Jiang commanded again.

The manager sighed and had no choice but to take the master key and open Si Jinyan's door.

"Miss Si, you can come in now..." Before the manager could finish his question, Madam Jiang pushed him away.

"What are you dawdling for?" Madam Jiang reached out and pushed the door open, but Si Jinyan had locked the door with a security chain.

Through the crack in the door, Si Jinyan saw her biological mother, Xu Wei.

Ten years ago, it was she who, with gentle words and repentance for her mistakes, coaxed Si Jinyan back.

At first, he doted on her and gave her the best of everything.

Si Jinyan naively believed that she really had a family, that she had a father, mother, brother, and sister.

Unexpectedly, it was all just to coax her into staying. Once everything was stable, Xu Wei's attitude towards her changed completely.

It's fair to say they never treated her like their own daughter, and she only found out later why they abandoned her at birth.

She and Jiang Caiyun had twins. At their 100th birthday celebration, a monk came to offer his blessings.

The monk glanced at Jiang Caiyun and praised her as a lucky star sent from heaven, saying that she would bring prosperity to the Jiang family.

When the monk saw her, he said she was a jinx, and that anyone close to her would become unfortunate, and that staying in the Jiang family would cause chaos.

And so she was abandoned.

She really couldn't accept the Jiang family.

Even if that person is her biological mother!

The things they did to her haunted her, gradually becoming her inner demons.

If it weren't for the suppression of the purification spell, she might have collapsed at that time.

It was her master who guided her in her spiritual practice and tempered her will, which helped her emerge from that terrible experience.

Being abandoned by two close relatives is hard for anyone to accept.

Si Jinyan stood inside the door, looking at Xu Wei without saying a word.

"Caihe, open the door quickly, it's Mom!" Xu Wei's attitude changed immediately upon seeing her, speaking gently and softly, just like back then.

“Madam Jiang has mistaken me for someone else. I am an orphan from Lingxu Temple. Where would I get a mother?” Si Jinyan stared coldly at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei felt that her daughter seemed to have changed, and was no longer as easy to control as she used to be.

That's true, it's normal to be a little rebellious when you grow up.

It's okay, she can coax her again and win her back.

Girls like pretty things. Didn't she really like that crystal necklace when she was little?

Although she didn't buy it for her then, she bought ten now.

Xu Wei held a box between the door and said to Si Jinyan, "Didn't you like that crystal necklace when you were little? Mom bought you ten of them. If you want to buy anything in the future, just tell Mom, and I will definitely make it happen."

Seeing her like this, Si Jinyan knew that there must be something else they needed to use her for.

"Ten years ago, you coaxed me back to use me to shield your daughter from disaster. What do you want to use me for now?" Si Jinyan slowly walked to the door and reached out to take the box.

Although he was smiling, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

She and Jiang Caiyun were kidnapped at the same time, and the Jiang family was asked to pay a ransom of 200 million yuan, but the Jiang family was only willing to pay 100 million yuan to rescue Jiang Caiyun.

She was only nine years old at the time!

She watched helplessly as her own parents handed over 100 million yuan to criminals to ransom Jiang Caiyun.

She still remembers the cold indifference in their eyes.

The thugs asked, "Isn't this your daughter?"

Her biological father, Jiang Feng, replied directly, "No, not anymore."

Trading a hundred million for a jinx is never worth it.

The family, along with Jiang Caiyun, left the abandoned factory without looking back, leaving behind only the dumbfounded thugs and the disheveled Si Jinyan.
