Rong Jing blinked slowly, subconsciously thinking of his feelings towards Xie Xuanqing.
When Cheng Yuan talked about Sang Lianyun, the smile on his face could not be faked, but when he thought of Xie Xuanqing, he didn't seem to have a similar feeling?
Rong Jing frowned slightly, and heard Cheng Yuan continue to say: "But before we were together, I was actually a little worried about gains and losses."
Cheng Yuan's gaze suddenly became distant, as if he was recalling something.
The sweetness of being together has diluted the bitterness of not being able to get what you wanted in the past, but what happened in the past still exists. When I recall it now, the feeling of worry and loss at that time is still clear.
As if he noticed Rong Jing's slightly puzzled look, Cheng Yuan came back to his senses, but didn't say anything more.
"When it comes to emotional matters, you have to feel them yourself to understand them clearly. No matter how much others say, it may not be of any use." Cheng Yuan said meaningfully.
After spending such a long time together, Cheng Yuan had come to understand the character of Master Rong Tian.
It would be a lie to say that he was not smart. But when it came to emotions, this Master Rong Tian seemed to be born a little slow, which made people anxious.
But this kind of thing has to be understood by the person himself, Cheng Yuan gently reminded him, and seeing that Rong Jing seemed to have realized something and had a thoughtful look in his eyes, he stopped talking.
In fact, he could also see that the actor Mu Yunzhou Mu had a strange attitude towards Rong Jing, but...
Thinking of the previous meeting between him and Sang Lianyun and Xie Xuanqing, and also thinking of Rong Jing's attitude towards Xie Xuanqing when he came over today, Cheng Yuan shook his head secretly and lit a candle for Mu Yunzhou in advance.
Rong Jing did not continue to ask——
Rather, given his personality, asking Cheng Yuan that question earlier was already a great surprise.
After chatting for a while, the filming continued.
After receiving the information provided by Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing, the special department immediately took action.
Previously, their department had too many redundant staff and unclear responsibilities, which led to a lack of timely response to many things and delays after tasks were issued.
During this period, due to Rong Jing's stimulation and the increasingly rampant supernatural events in China in recent years, Zhou Songyun hardened his heart and directly, together with Wei Yixing, laid off many internal personnel of the special department who were only occupying positions and taking advantage of the situation according to their contributions in recent years and their own abilities.
Such drastic changes naturally caused turmoil within the special department.
The special department had been established for a full ten years, and the relationships formed within it had already become intricate and complicated. Zhou Songyun's move naturally harmed the interests of many people.
But Zhou Songyun had truly witnessed Rong Jing's methods and knew that the development of the special department had reached a bottleneck and could not be broken without great force.
Fortunately, Wei Yixing also stood on his side. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of State Security, Wei Yixing was a very experienced person.
Having been undercover for more than a decade, he had a lot of knowledge that no one else could match. With his support, Zhou Songyun's pressure was relieved, and the reform of the special department continued to advance.
As of today, the number of personnel in the special department has been reduced by two-thirds. However, the combined strength of the remaining one-third is even stronger than that of the previous special department.
Because of this, in just one night, the special department followed the information provided by Xie Xuanqing and investigated a series of previous actions of Xie Xuanzhong.
From an outsider's perspective, Xie Xuanzhong is handsome and gentle.
Although he is not the direct person in charge of the Xie Group, he holds shares in the Xie Group and is also very successful. He has built his own business without relying on the power of the Xie Group.
Therefore, those elders who own shares in Xie's company have always felt that Xie Xuanqing is too heartless, and often hinted to Xie Xuanqing to be more open-minded. After all, outsiders are not as reliable as family members.
It's not that they were unaware of Uncle Xie's actions when Xie Xuanqing took over the Xie Group, but Xie Xuanzhong has grown up now and looks very promising. Driven by interests, they just brushed aside what Xie Xuanqing had experienced before.
Xie Xuanqing didn't bother with them before because he didn't focus on it.
But when these people took advantage of his silence, used their seniority to collude with others, and even secretly opened a back door for Xie Xuan, which almost damaged the interests of the group, Xie Xuanqing naturally would not tolerate their actions anymore.
So Xie Xuanzhong was in a state of panic during this period of time.
His cousin would either not take action or use drastic measures once he did.
Almost all of the connections he had worked so hard to develop within the Xie family were destroyed, and even the capital chain he had worked so hard to build up was almost broken under Xie Xuanqing's attack.
What’s even more terrifying is that Xie Xuanzhong could feel that a greater danger seemed to be approaching.
But he asked the Taoist priest to investigate, but found nothing unusual.
Is he really overthinking it?
Xie Xuanzhong paced anxiously in the living room, his brows furrowed.
"Has anything happened in your family recently?" Xie Xuanzhong suddenly asked after a while.
He bought this house in the suburbs specifically. It is surrounded by open grass and the nearest neighbor is a few hundred meters away, so it has good privacy and security.
At this moment he suddenly spoke, and a human figure slowly appeared in the originally empty living room.
He, or rather "it", has a very handsome appearance and a touch of antiquity in his manners.
If you look closely, you can find that its body is upright, but also has a hazy sense of transparency.
This makes "it" look particularly illusory and particularly... unreal.
Hearing Xie Xuanzhong's question, it smiled and said, "It's just a temporary dilemma. Qinghong and the others can solve it themselves."
"As for you..." the man changed the subject and spoke softly.
"I didn't hold it against you for secretly using the ghosts to do things before, but now the truth has been revealed. Your cousin is not someone you can easily deal with. How long can the funds you have now last? There are only a few days left at the villa before the next batch is ready."
"Nothing must happen to the villa in the next few days." The man's tone was not strong, but it carried an irresistible aura. "It would be best if you could attract more people to go there. As for fate... I won't be picky at this time."
Xie Xuan frowned and wanted to refute, but finally nodded silently.
As long as he can hold on for a few more days, all the difficulties he is facing now will naturally be resolved.
"Then when can you fulfill what you promised me?" Xie Xuan asked again.
There was a flash of contempt in the man's eyes, but his face was still smiling kindly and respectfully: "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you, but that person's cultivation has not yet fully recovered. Once the things from the villa are ready and sent over, he will be able to recover to 70% of his previous level."
"When the time comes, what you ask for will naturally not be a problem."
Xie Xuanzhong looked at it quietly for a while, and slowly clenched his hands behind his back.
"good."
It's not that he doesn't know that the man sitting in front of him is actually a ghost, but if the other party is strong enough to help him take back the Xie Group, then even if he is a ghost, why can't he cooperate with him?
What's more... he wants more than just the Xie family.
The man, or rather the evil spirit, looked at the gloom between his brows, curled his lips and smiled slowly.
In fact, the reason they chose Xie Xuanzhong to cooperate with them was not only because they valued his status as Xie Xuanqing's cousin, but also because of his character.
Despicable and selfish, vicious and cowardly, this is exactly the smell of a soul that evil spirits like best.
"Give me some more of your blood." The evil ghost said, gathering his thoughts in his eyes.
Xie Xuanzhong didn't ask why. He just stretched out his wrist and let the evil ghost's cold and dark fingertips gently scratch it.
After a burst of tingling pain, the bright red blood coagulated into a small ball that floated in the palm of the evil spirit.
Afterwards, it casually used its fingertips to lightly touch the wound on Xie Xuanzhong's wrist. As the Yin energy gathered, a touch of vitality tainted with a faint black mist sank into Xie Xuanzhong's hand, repairing the wound as usual.
Xie Xuanzhong raised his hand and gently rubbed the place where the wound existed with the fingers of his other hand.
He had already drained the blood of the evil ghost six times, and as long as he could collect nine times...
The evil ghost looked at the pool of bright red blood and was very satisfied.
Although Xie Chong's tenth emperor destiny had been taken away by heaven, Xie Xuanqing today was just a man with a lonely fate and full of evil spirit, but nothing is absolute. After all, he is still the reincarnation of Xie Chong's soul, and the dragon spirit of the Xie family of Zhao Dynasty still remains in his blood.
However, the dragon energy was too shallow and weak, and even less was allocated to Xie Xuanzhong, so he could only extract it from time to time.
The evil spirit condensed the blood in his palm, and as he felt the familiar smell coming from it, his smile deepened.
Trace the cause to the effect, and vice versa. These dragon auras are the cause and effect of Xie Chong's lineage. As long as enough of them are collected, it may not be impossible to force out Xie Chong's memories of the past!
By then, the things that the other party had hidden should be handed over to them.
"Okay." The evil ghost carefully hid the ball of blood in his chest and said to Xie Xuanzhong, "I have asked the servant ghosts to protect the area around the villa. If you want to go out, just take the talisman with you."
The evil ghost's chest was not filled with bright red flesh and blood like a living person, but was instead a mass of dark and obscure black fog.
Bright red blood with a hint of body temperature was put into it, and from a distance it looked as dazzling as a heart.
However, when Xie Xuanzhong thought that this was blood flowing from his body, he felt a little weird. He turned his head away and replied, "I know."
He will definitely need to deal with the villa. The things will be ready in a few days, and during these few days, he needs to organize some activities to attract more people to come in...
Xie Xuanzhong was thinking about his next plan, but he didn't know that his actions were being monitored day and night by a special department.
Because of Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing's previous reminders, the special department had long been prepared for the possibility that Xie Xuanzhong might be followed by several servant ghosts, so they did not rashly let ordinary soldiers conduct monitoring. Instead, they specially invited a Taoist priest who was good at talismans to sneak into the place with the help of an invisibility talisman and carefully placed the monitoring equipment inside.
The camera was also modified to add a touch of spiritual energy. On the monitoring screen at this time, everyone could see what Xie Xuanzhong was talking about with a man sitting on the sofa.
——The man’s body was slightly transparent, and he was obviously a fierce ghost.
Seeing this, Zhou Songyun's expression suddenly became serious.
It was a pity that the evil spirit seemed to be emitting a very strong negative energy, and the surveillance camera could only barely capture the scene of their conversation. It could not see clearly what they did, but could not hear clearly what they said.
But even so, it was enough to confirm the information Xie Xuanqing had given them before.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Songyun transferred the video to Wei Yixing through a special channel.
He is now far away in the Southern Province, Jing City. Although his adjutant is capable, Wei Yixing still has enough face.
Next, it depends on what Vice Minister Wei plans to do.
Wei Yixing's reply came quickly. After all, the special department's headquarters was still in Beijing, and Wei Yixing was the direct leader of the special department, so it was easier for him to mobilize personnel than Zhou Songyun.
He has already asked several masters with higher cultivation to keep an eye on Xie Xuanzhong's future movements. As for the holiday villa, he has also sent people to infiltrate and investigate.
Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing tacitly did not ask about these plans of the special department.
But firstly, they are the providers of these information, and secondly... the special department still wants to strengthen the connection with them, especially Rong Jing, so after arranging the personnel, Wei Yixing vaguely said something to them.
Xie Xuanqing must be a good man as he was able to develop a declining family industry to its current scale. Rong Jing was born with psychic powers and could vaguely sense something even without any divination.
So after Wei Yixing told them, Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing roughly guessed something.
Xie Xuan lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a deep voice.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you Minister Wei for the reminder."
After Xie Xuanqing took over the Xie Group, he attached great importance to the cooperation with the government. In addition, Rong Jing had been doing favors for him intentionally or unintentionally during this period of time, so Xie Xuanqing had accumulated some friendship with the special departments.
At this moment, Wei Yixing called him and reminded him implicitly that it would be better to clarify the relationship between Xie and Xie Xuanzhong.
Xie Xuanqing was already feeling annoyed with his second uncle's family. He frowned slightly, thanked Wei Yixing for the reminder, and put down his phone.
It’s time to take back the remaining Xie shares.
Xie Xuan handed over the task with a stern look, then lowered his eyes to look at the contract for a while, then raised his head and asked, "How's the crew going?"
Xie Entertainment launches several projects almost every month, but Yue Feng knows that the crew Xie Xuanqing mentioned is always the only one.
That was the crew that Master Rong Tian was in.
After so many days, Yue Feng was sure of Xie Xuanqing's thoughts.
To be honest, Yue Feng did not feel too surprised when he guessed Xie Xuanqing's thoughts with certainty.
——Isn’t it natural that a figure like Master Rong Tian would attract the attention of someone like Xie Xuanqing?
But he was considered an old man around Xie Xuanqing, and he knew that Xie Xuanqing's skills and scheming were not as frivolous as he showed in front of Rong Jing.
He couldn't help but wonder, if Master Rong Tian didn't have this intention, then what would Xie Xuanqing do?
But as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Yue Feng quickly suppressed it.
Even if a person like Master Rong Tianshi has no interest in love, the head of the family probably won’t say anything... right?
Yue Feng's mind raced, and he replied calmly, "The crew of Poppy is currently making good progress in filming, and Director Sang is also working very hard. In about two months, we will be able to wrap up the filming."
God have pity on him. Before, he was only responsible for summarizing the financial reports of various companies and handing them over to Xie Xuanqing. But now, because of Xie Xuanqing's thoughts, he had to pay attention to the crew personally. He was almost able to master the terminology of the entire entertainment industry.
Sighing silently in his heart, Yue Feng quietly waited for the next instruction from the boss who would pay him the money.
"Yes." Xie Xuanqing didn't say anything else. He raised his hand to pick up a signature pen, flipped through the remaining documents, and then said, "Move the afternoon cocktail party to tomorrow, and free up the time from 3 to 4:30 today."
“……”No need to ask, he must be going to the crew again.
Yue Feng replied seriously and responsibly: "Okay, sir."
Turning around and about to go downstairs to rearrange his schedule, Yue Feng heard Xie Xuanqing add a sentence indifferently behind him: "Tell the finance department to add one month's salary to the year-end bonus."
With his current position, his monthly salary is quite high.
Yue Feng instantly perked up: I can do it again.
Money makes the world go round. Yue Feng's steps became lighter and he had handled everything properly in no time.
Xie Xuanqing didn't feel distressed either.
For him, as long as his subordinates work hard, he will not treat them unfairly.
Those "veterans" who were receiving salaries from him and still flirting with Xie Xuanzhong could now only be called "veterans".
Not to mention how much those people regretted it now, after Xie Xuanqing temporarily finished the matters at hand, he got up and went to the lounge to change his clothes.
As for Rong Jing, after receiving Wei Yixing's call, he did not say much, just like Xie Xuanqing.
The way of heaven seemed to be guiding him to do something. Rong Jing raised his eyes to glance at the gray sky, then retracted his gaze indifferently.
Thinking of the holiday villa built and run by Xie Xuanzhong that Wei Yixing mentioned on the phone, Rong Jing lightly pointed his fingertips, and the golden hexagram plate suddenly unfolded, forming a diagram of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars.
The stars slowly turned along with Rong Jing's thoughts. Just when Rong Jing wanted to figure out what existed in the holiday villa, a mysterious and gloomy aura quietly came, and with an aura that Rong Jing was somewhat familiar with, it suddenly plunged into the hexagram.
Rong Jing raised his brows slightly, but he was prepared.
The majestic spiritual energy was as vast as the rivers and seas. When it poured into the hexagram plate, the gloomy energy suddenly weakened.
However, the other party seemed to have guessed that Rong Jing would stop it. After being weak for a while, his aura suddenly changed.
The vitality tainted with the faint black mist vaguely blended with the spiritual energy coming from Rong Jing's hand. Seeing this, Rong Jing's eyes turned slightly cold, but he pointed in the air and summoned the light golden spiritual pen.
The soft tip of the pen dipped into the hexagram plate, accurately targeting the black snake-like bad luck.
“Sizzle—sizzle—”
A faint green smoke emerged from the hexagram plate. The spirit-pointing pen in Rong Jing's hand was firmly fixed on the gloomy aura, but he directly abandoned the hexagram and traced back to the past following the cause and effect of the gloomy aura!
His movements were extremely decisive, as if they had been tempered hundreds of times.
This is indeed the case.
The reputation of Master Rong is still well-known even after hundreds of years. It's not because of his handsome appearance, but because of his unrivaled metaphysical skills!
His move caught everyone off guard. After pausing for a moment, the gloomy energy quickly reacted and struggled to block Rong Jing's spiritual energy from flowing back.
However, it reacted too late. By the time it remembered that it should start with Rong Jing himself, Rong Jing had already found the source of the gloomy energy with the help of the Spiritual Pointing Pen and the Zhoutian Gua.
...Southern Province.
It’s the Southern Province again, and it is indeed the Southern Province.
Rong Jing's expression became colder, and he shook his wrist, ready to probe deeper.
However, the gloomy aura now realized his thoughts, gritted its teeth, and dispersed its power directly.
Rong Jing could sense that there was a soul in this gloomy aura. Now that it was actively dispersing its power, that soul would certainly not be able to stay.
In this way, its original power will inevitably be weakened a lot.
His actions were not in vain.
Rong Jing dispersed the spirit-pointing pen in his hand and glanced at the hexagram plate.
Because he had thrown away the hexagram plate before, the hexagram on it was naturally disrupted by the gloomy energy.
But Rong Jing's eyesight was so sharp that he saw something in just a moment.
Taking out his cell phone and sending a message to Zhou Songyun, Rong Jing also wiped away the divination plate.
It's getting darker.
He stood at the corner of the hospital gate. It was not hidden, but because this place had been abandoned for a long time and the main filming location was also inside the hospital, no one came over.
Putting the phone back into his pocket, Rong Jing turned around and saw Mu Yunzhou walking towards him at some point.
His eyebrows moved slightly, and Rong Jing called out lightly: "Teacher Mu."
"Master Rong."
Just now, one of the cameras had a problem, so Sang Lianyun let them rest. Mu Yunzhou drank a sip of water, turned around and saw that Rong Jing was gone, so he tried to look for him.
When he came over, Rong Jing just wiped the hexagram plate.
It was just that little bit of residual spiritual energy lingering around him, making his face look even more handsome and awe-inspiring.
Mu Yunzhou subconsciously didn't dare to get closer, and then came back to his senses by Rong Jing's voice.
Seeing Rong Jing's indifferent look when he looked at him, Mu Yunzhou didn't know why he suddenly wanted to ask, "Master Rong Tian, what do you think of me?"
Rong Jing: “?”
"Teacher Mu's acting is very good." His question was a bit subtle. Rong Jing frowned, but still answered according to his own thoughts.
"I'm not talking about my acting skills." Since he had already asked, Mu Yunzhou continued, "I'm talking about, what do you think of me as a person?"
Rong Jing: “…”
"That's right." Rong Jing replied indifferently, feeling even more strange in his heart.
Seeing this, Mu Yunzhou felt inexplicably expectant. He took a deep breath and finally said the question he wanted to ask the most: "Then are you willing to..." be with me?
"Rong Jing."
Xie Xuanqing's voice came at this moment, his tone low but firm.
Mu Yunzhou had just said half of his words when he was interrupted by Xie Xuanqing who came over in two or three steps.
