Xie Xiao never expected that he would gamble so much, even losing his house.
My aunt kept this a secret for who knows how long, without revealing a single word.
No wonder my aunt has visibly lost weight and looked uneasy at recent family gatherings; she even thought it was because she had been possessed by an evil spirit.
I even kindly offered to introduce Mingzhuo to my aunt to exorcise evil spirits, but it turns out that it wasn't like that at all.
Xie Xiao suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute, you bought the amulet from me back then just to research how to replicate and resell it?"
The aunt felt a little guilty, but quickly burst into tears, "Xiaoxiao, you have to help me! Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to die!"
Despite the two arguing like this, Wen Shaoan sat calmly on the sofa, peacefully drinking his tea.
Xie Xiao felt something was off, so she went over and looked at the talismans on the coffee table.
There were quite a few miscellaneous items, including Mingzhuo's amulet.
She picked up the amulet. "This one won't work."
Wen Shaoan narrowed his eyes and asked Xie Xiao with a smile, "Why doesn't this one work? How about we try this one?"
Xie Xiao glanced at it and looked away. She was about to say "This one is fine" when, in a flash, a brilliant idea struck her.
"This one won't work either." She looked at the talisman for a few moments, seemingly unsure.
"Really?" Wen Shaoan smiled.
Auntie couldn't understand the trick; all the talismans had their names folded up, and she couldn't tell them apart from the scribbles underneath.
"Why not? It'll definitely work! It has to work!"
Xie Xiao's heart was beating a little fast when she saw a piece of paper on the corner of the table.
She had drawn that piece of paper at her aunt's house not long ago, copying Mingzhuo's talisman. It was drawn in one stroke, without any breaks.
My cousin was there at the time. He was shocked to hear that my aunt had spent 100,000 yuan to buy a talisman. He tried to draw it too, but he couldn't get it right no matter how hard he tried.
He wasn't giving up, so he asked his classmates who played at home to draw it, but in the end, everyone failed.
My uncle was quite surprised and said, "Xiaoxiao, you're amazing! You can even draw talismans. Not everyone can do that."
Could it be that I was being targeted back then?
I just don't know if the other party is genuinely after making money, or if they have ulterior motives.
"Auntie, let me think about it first. I'm going to the restroom." Xie Xiao avoided Wen Shaoan's probing gaze and hurriedly went to the restroom.
When she reached for her phone to call Mingzhuo for help, she was startled to find that she had left her phone outside.
Xie Xiao was covered in cold sweat; she didn't even know when she put down her phone.
Fortunately, she still had her bag on her. It was a stylish little crossbody bag that couldn't hold much. She found a talisman and paused for a moment.
This was given to her by Mingzhuo before the college entrance examination. He even joked that he would give her a cheat code and sold it to her for a friendly price of 10,000 yuan.
Xie Xiao thought it must be a good thing, so she always carried it with her.
She looked at the talisman, which had been randomly drawn on yellow paper. It didn't look like a talisman at all, and she had no idea what its purpose was.
A sudden knock came at the door, startling Xie Xiao, who instinctively held her breath.
"Who?" she asked.
"Xiaoxiao, it's me. What's your decision?"
Xie Xiao heard her aunt's voice, opened the door, and saw her aunt standing at the door. She was overjoyed and was about to pull her aunt into the next room, but she pulled at nothing.
A hand suddenly appeared and hit Auntie's shoulder. Auntie closed her eyes and fell down, revealing Wen Shaoan standing behind her.
"I'm sorry," he said politely, "though it may be impolite, I really don't have time to wait any longer."
Xie Xiao panicked and took out the talisman, holding it up in her hand: "Where did you come from, you evil spirit? Get lost, or I'll destroy you with this talisman!"
Wen Shaoan looked at the talisman and slowly smiled.
"Destroy me? You're mistaken. I'm a human. Neither exorcism talismans nor exorcism talismans will work on me."
He paused, then added, "Besides, this isn't even a talisman."
He entered the Dao through talismans. Although his magical power was weak, his cultivation in the Dao of talismans was very high, so he could naturally see through them at a glance.
As he spoke, he walked towards Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao knew that although this person smiled gently, since he dared to make her aunt faint, he was obviously a law-abiding person.
She didn't dare to confront the other party head-on, so she retreated while shouting for help at the top of her lungs, praying that her neighbors would hear the commotion and call the police.
Wen Shaoan sighed: "Don't waste your energy. I've set up a magic array in this room. No matter how much noise you make, no one outside can hear it."
Xie Xiaoxin's heart sank. The other party had come prepared; all the talk about making money was just a pretext.
They came specifically for me!
Her heart was pounding, and she thought, "Can I really be this unlucky as to fail here today?"
Wen Shaoan said gently, "If you come with me obediently, you'll avoid suffering, won't you?"
Seeing that Xie Xiao stood still, he simply stepped forward, preparing to cast a puppet talisman on Xie Xiao.
"Fuck you, you lunatic, you pervert!" Xie Xiao suddenly sprang to her feet, trying to kick Wen Shaoan, but he dodged it.
Just as the puppet talisman was about to hit her, the yellow paper Xie Xiao was holding suddenly burst out with a sword light, slashing towards Wen Shaoan!
The sword light was invisible, and it sent Wen Shaoan flying backward. The amulets and talismans on his body were burned to ashes, but they still couldn't withstand the attack.
Wen Shaoan knocked over several pieces of furniture before finally crashing into the wall and falling down, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He looked up, staring at Xie Xiao in horror and astonishment.
Xie Xiao: "..."
My god, is this what Mingzhuo meant by "cheating"? This cheat is so awesome!
"Didn't you say it was useless against you? If you're so capable, come up here again and try again, and I'll beat you to a pulp!" Xie Xiao said viciously.
Wen Shaoan clutched his chest and struggled several times before finally getting up. He was badly injured, though not fatally, but he dared not fight back.
He looked at the things in Xie Xiao's hands with apprehension. "You've escaped this time by luck, but next time I won't be the one coming after you. You'll suffer a lot then."
Xie Xiao: "Get out of my aunt's house, or I really will take action. Don't force me to kill someone!"
Wen Shaoan seemed to know that there was no hope of taking Xie Xiao hostage, so he got up and staggered toward the door.
Worried that he was cheating, Xie Xiao held the talisman in both hands, staring at him warily while keeping her distance.
Just then, a slight noise came from behind.
Xie Xiao subconsciously looked down behind her, "Auntie, are you awake?"
Her aunt's body came crashing down on her, and she frantically tried to catch it. Then her eyes widened as she looked at the woman who had appeared behind her aunt.
In an instant, she realized that this woman had been lurking in the room all along without her noticing.
It's too late to say anything now.
The woman kicked Xie Xiao hard in the chest, sending her flying. The talisman in her hand also fell to the ground when she was picking up her aunt.
Wen Shaoan staggered over, somewhat surprised. "Linglan, what brings you here?"
Woman: "If I don't come, do you expect me to watch you get killed?"
