Chapter 109: Unlucky
Ye Wanxi was stunned. It really was her who did it.
When she was admitted to high school, the orphanage simply didn't have the money to continue supporting her studies. It was the old director who secretly took out his retirement money, and she later earned money by doing odd jobs to pay for the tuition.
After finishing the college entrance examination, Ye Wanxi received an admission letter from a university. The tuition was relatively low, and the school also gave her a sum of money as a reward, as required by regulations.
With the tuition covered, Ye Wanxi worked a summer job for a while and saved up some living expenses. Feeling she had some money left over, she simply set up what Gao Min had just mentioned: 20% of her monthly salary would be automatically deposited into the orphanage's account for the children's daily living expenses.
Because of this, Ye Wanxi was even scolded by the dean's mother.
Now, when Ye Wanxi hears Gao Min mention this matter again, she feels as if it were a lifetime ago.
No, to be precise, in the past three years, Ye Wanxi did indeed have the good fortune to live her short but happy life in another time and space.
"So, money has been being transferred over the past few years?"
"It happened in the first year or two, but this year..."
Gao Min stopped short of making a point, and Ye Wanxi immediately understood.
In the first year or two after entering the entertainment industry, that wandering ghost might have been able to get some resources and earn some money by relying on her face.
Later, after staying there for a long time, he could no longer hide his true nature. He started to do whatever he wanted. He ran out of resources and money, and even owed a lot of debts. How could he transfer money to his account?
What Gao Min didn't mention was that "Ye Wanxi," who had only recently entered the industry, wanted to cancel the pairing after learning about it.
But whenever she had this thought, she would have particularly bad luck.
After suffering losses several times, the other party finally gave up the idea, allowing this bond to continue to this day.
"You've known about this all along?"
Gao Min's gaze towards Ye Wanxi suddenly became indescribable: "You've even forgotten this?"
Ye Wanxi smiled and suddenly understood why Gao Min had stayed by her side despite her behavior, and why Xiao Yuti had taken good care of them and hadn't completely sidelined her despite all the trouble she had caused.
This was the first time in all these years that Ye Wanxi had taken the initiative to bring up the orphanage.
Gao Min was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You haven't gone back to visit all these years. How about I go back with you sometime?"
"good."
On the other side, Xiao Baihui and the other three, who were suddenly moved out of the hotel, felt a darkness before their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dark alley.
"This..." Xiao Baihui and the others were both surprised and panicked.
The group hurriedly walked outside and discovered that they were just steps away from the hotel.
They weren't far apart, but it was enough to horrify them.
"No wonder she was so confident in threatening us just now. With that kind of ability, if she really got serious, we might not be able to leave that room."
Xiao Baihui clearly knew this as well, and his face was unusually grim: "The moment she stepped inside, the initiative was completely transferred to her hands."
That room was entirely her domain; neither she nor the people she brought were any match for such extraordinary abilities.
"Master Qin, you just saw her. Can you tell if she's... dangerous?"
“There’s no danger, she’s safe.” Qin Hongxu said with a subtle expression, as if he had thought of something. “However, Mr. Xiao, my advice is, don’t mess with her, absolutely don’t mess with her. Neither you nor those people should mess with her.”
Xiao Baihui and the other two's expressions changed slightly. They all knew very well that Qin Hongxu never exaggerated or frightened people.
But now, he emphasized that sentence three times in a row...
"Is she... really that amazing?"
“It’s not a matter of how powerful or not. In the years since I was born, I’ve seen many people like you, but I’ve never seen anyone like her.”
Qin Hongxu recalled the scene he had just seen and subconsciously closed his eyes, but still felt a little pain in his eyes.
"To put it simply, the way she stands there is like a super bright light bulb, the kind that can blind you. Such merit and brilliance could not have been achieved without saving millions of lives."
"You mean..."
The reason why Xiao Baihui specifically asked Qin Hongxu and his fellow apprentice to accompany him was, on the one hand, because they were both knowledgeable people registered by the higher-ups, and there was also a particularly important reason, which was because of Qin Hongxu's innate Taoist eyes.
This is something he was born with; from a young age, he could see things that others couldn't, such as merits and evil spirits.
It was precisely because of his difference from ordinary people that his parents sent him to a Taoist temple to practice, and he was valued by the previous abbot and became the current abbot of Qingyue Temple.
In the words of Master Qin Hongxu, it is a pity that he has such a pair of eyes but was not born in an era full of spiritual energy, otherwise he would have achieved something.
"With such merit and fortune, it's no exaggeration to say she's a favorite of Heaven." Qin Hongxu sighed as he said this. "However, you don't need to worry too much. A person who can accumulate such merit must be pure and virtuous and would not do anything to harm the world."
After Qin Hongxu said this, everyone finally felt a little better.
"Like I said before, don't mess with her, absolutely don't mess with her, and definitely don't offend her, otherwise..."
"What will happen?"
"You'll be unlucky, extremely unlucky."
"..."
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Xiao Baihui.
Xiao Baihui's eyebrows twitched, and he said with a hint of embarrassment and anger, "Why are you looking at me? I just asked her a few more questions, how could it be so strange?"
Qin Hongxu frowned and was about to give him some earnest advice, asking him not to take it so lightly.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw something above Xiao Baihui's head, his expression changed slightly, and the words that were about to come out became: "Be careful!"
Wow——
Qin Hongxu's voice and the sound of rushing water rang out at the same time. Xiao Baihui felt a heaviness on his head, and a large basin of water was poured down on his head from right above him.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—
Drops of water dripped from Xiao Baihui's face and clothes, standing out clearly on the deserted street.
Qin Hongxu and others stared at the scene with wide eyes, not knowing what to say for a long time.
A few seconds later, a voice shouting curses came from downstairs: "Which bastard is so rude, throwing water in the middle of the night? Do you want me to report you?"
Zou Yiluan quickly hugged the furious Xiao Baihui: "Calm down, calm down. It's late at night, don't disturb the neighbors."
No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps were heard coming from the residential building.
The group instinctively looked in the direction of the voice and saw a muscular man with a fierce face, wearing a vest and slippers, coming down the stairs aggressively. He asked with an unfriendly expression, "Who wants to report me?"
The four people: "..."
Thank you Qingfeng and me for the 192 reward, and thank you Shisi for the 588 + 200 reward, mwah! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
