The man was shouting as he ran, his arms flapping wildly and exaggeratedly, as if a ghost was following him.
When Butler Qi saw this, his face turned pale instantly——
I forgot about it! The ghost is coming!
He hurried over with shaking legs and asked, "Master! That thing came to our door?!"
Before he could finish his words, Master Qi kicked him in the calf.
Butler Qi jumped in pain, hugged his legs and cried out in grievance, "Master! Why did you hit me?"
"I'm hitting you! What do you mean by that thing came to my door... Why did that thing come to my door? I don't have any grudge against him! You're such a bad guy, Qi Kui. I've always treated you well, and you actually cursed me like this..."
Master Qi could hardly speak clearly and glared at Butler Qi, shaking with anger. Butler Qi also trembled with grievance, thinking to himself, I was already extremely scared after walking on the road at night, and you looked like you were being chased by a ghost just now, and you didn't even allow anyone to ask me a question.
It's really unreasonable.
However, as a servant, Butler Qi could only vent such complaints in his heart and certainly would not dare to speak them out loud.
He rubbed his calf, which had been kicked, and said with an apologetic smile, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. The master has been so kind to me that I wouldn't dare curse you, even if I curse myself... Fairy? Come on, come on!"
Butler Qi quickly looked at Shen Qiqi and introduced: "Master, look, the fairy lady is here... and there is also a fairy king."
After the previous kick, Butler Qi learned his lesson this time. Before he could finish his words, he had already quickly hidden behind Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming.
The master asked him to invite Miss Shen, but did not let him invite anyone else.
To be on the safe side, he decided to follow the example of the old innkeeper and hide away.
Facts proved that the decision of the housekeeper Qi was correct, because when Master Qi heard that the fairy lady had been invited back, he was full of joy. But when he saw that it was Shen Qiqi, the joy on Master Qi's face immediately turned into a ferociousness, and he even raised his feet. However, the housekeeper hid himself, and he had to give up in anger.
He could beat his own housekeeper however he wanted, but he couldn't beat other people. He wasn't the unreasonable type.
But Master Qi didn't have a good attitude towards Shen Qiqi.
Mr. Qi is in his early forties this year. He is not tall, but he has a considerable body, and his big belly is as big as if he is ten months pregnant.
He stroked the sparse beard on his chin, squinted his eyes and looked Shen Qiqi up and down, and asked: "Excuse me, which sect is the fairy lady from?"
Shen Qiqi had been watching the show for free for half a day. Seeing that it was finally her turn to appear, she smiled and bowed, and replied: "It's just an unknown sect, so it's better not to say anything."
When Mr. Qi heard this, he burst into laughter.
It doesn't matter if you don't talk about the unknown small sect. Is it difficult to admit that you are a wandering cultivator in the mountains? Who are you trying to show off to by pretending to be so low-key and humble?
Maybe he is not even a casual cultivator, but a small-time swindler who takes advantage of the chaos to make money by cheating and deceiving people.
Look at her face with drooping eyebrows and eyes, she doesn't look like a fairy at all.
Master Qi did not hide his disdain. After perfunctorily half-bowing to Shen Qiqi, he said lightly: "Thank you for taking this trip, Fairy, but my house is relatively peaceful, so I dare not delay Fairy's time any longer."
This is a direct order to expel the guest.
When Butler Qi heard this, he became anxious, knowing that his master had made the same mistake as he had just made, judging people by their appearance.
Now that night has fallen, that ghost thing might show up at any time. We can’t let the master make people angry and run away again!
Thinking of this, Housekeeper Qi no longer cared about whether he would be kicked or not. He made up his mind and jumped out and shouted, "Master..."
"Shut up!" Unfortunately, the master didn't give him a chance to explain. He shouted at him and glared at him to signal him not to speak again. Then he looked at Shen Qiqi again, took out a silver ingot, and presented it to her alms.
"It's just a small thank you gift, not a token of respect. Please use it for tea, Fairy."
Shen Qiqi: “…”
As soon as she entered the door, she was chased out, and Shen Qiqi was angry.
She took the small silver ingot calmly, tossed it in her hand, and said with a good-natured smile, "Thank you very much for the tea money, Master Qi. However, I don't accept gifts without merit. Since I have accepted the tea money, Master Qi, I will give you a word of advice."
After she finished speaking, she stopped smiling and her eyes fell on the fair, round face of Butler Qi. She said in a cold voice, "Master Qi, you are about to die."
Master Qi: “…”
Master Qi was so angry that he fell backwards, his fair, round face flushed purple to the color of liver. He immediately pointed a fat finger at her and said, "You! You!"
He offered the money for the tea with good intentions, but ended up not being given a single word of praise, and was even cursed as "not living long". Master Qi was so angry that he almost died. He pointed at Shen Qiqi's nose and kept calling her "you" for a long time but couldn't figure out what she meant.
Housekeeper Qi was also frightened by Shen Qiqi's words. He thought that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't curse someone to die. He couldn't say such words casually. Isn't this asking for a fight?
The little girl who is still wet behind the ears is really ignorant!
He was just wondering whether to stand on his master's side and beat the man out, or to risk his life and try to mediate, but Master Qi recovered first.
He pointed at Shen Qiqi and cursed, "You ignorant wild girl, I saw that you looked pale and haggard, and you looked like a child from a poor family who was not well fed or clothed, so I didn't expose the fact that you were a liar. I even gave you money out of kindness, but you didn't know what was good for you. Not only did you not appreciate it, you even cursed me! Come on, get this little liar out of here——"
The word "go" was still lingering on his lips when Shen Qiqi said, "Master Qi, you're really wronging me. I'm really reminding you kindly, but look at you. Your forehead is dark and dull, black in the middle and blue outside. This is a typical sign of exhausted luck and end of life. In fact, it's not just you, I think your whole house is shrouded in blood!"
Butler Qi, who was originally planning to desperately plead for Shen Qiqi, immediately shut up.
What mercy is he begging for? Before, he just said that his master would not live long alone, but now he has directly escalated it to "the whole house is shrouded in blood"... Is this what monks would say?
This is clearly what those charlatans in the underworld who pretend to be gods and cheat people would say!
Could it be that I was really deceived by this little girl?
Butler Qi's heart, which had been steadfast all the way, suddenly began to waver.
Mr. Qi finally crawled out of the rage of "You are about to die", but Shen Qiqi hit him with a hammer again. He was immediately furious. He looked around and saw a hammer next to him. He was about to reach out to take it.
Shen Qiqi suddenly shouted, "Wait." Then she stared at Master Qi's forehead for a few seconds, frowned, and said, "Strange, why is the death energy on your forehead gone again? Oh, I understand. Someone must have been a scapegoat for you. But you can only stop it temporarily, not forever. Scapegoats don't appear every day. Master Qi, if you want to live a long life, I advise you to clean out your house as soon as possible."
After saying that, she threw the silver ingot in her hand back to Master Qi.
