Yan Zixiu had no idea that he had a good appearance at first. It was not

until his master repeatedly used his face to coax the ladies into buying amulets that he realized that his good looks could be exchanged for silver.

Although he didn't know how rich Jing Shaoci was, he must have been able to afford the fortune-telling.

"Or you can just take a closer look and pay me 9378 yuan."

The master sold a amulet for 10 taels of silver. In this dynasty, the price of silver was 1 tael equal to 937.8 yuan, and he had already calculated the conversion.

Listening to the numbers, Jing Shaoci's lips curled up in a slightly cold arc, "Do I have to pay you to see me now?"

Yan Zixiu answered seriously: "Not only now, but you have to pay if you want to see me in the future."

Jing Shaoci sneered, "Then why don't you pay me when you see me?"

After he said this, Yan Zixiu suddenly realized that the other person's appearance was indeed superior.

However, although his facial features were deep and cold and impeccable, his eyes were too cold, always giving people a sense of arrogance.

Yan Zixiu thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Because I don't have any improper thoughts about you."

"I think you are right..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing Shaoci was suddenly covered by him.

"Shh."

Although Yan Zixiu stopped him in time, Xia Peilin outside still heard the movement.

"It seems like someone is talking in your bedroom?"

Gu Shiyi quickly moved in front of Xia Peilin, blocking her line of sight and said, "It may be the sound coming from next door."

Seeing Xia Peilin turned her head to look, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Aunt Xia, the potted plant you gave me before seems a little strange."

No matter how well Xia Peilin pretended, her expression froze immediately when she heard Gu Shiyi mention this.

Gu Shiyi sneered in his heart, but pretended not to notice.

"Come and see, no matter how I water and fertilize, it keeps dropping leaves. It was completely dry two days ago."

Xia Peilin smiled unnaturally and said, "Maybe you are not very good at raising this kind of green leafy plant. You don't need to..."

Just when her fingertips touched the dead branches, Yan Zixiu suddenly raised his hand and threw out a handful of copper coins.

The copper coins fell to the ground without making any sound or rolling. With the movement of his two fingers, they all stood up strangely.

"Fuwei, Yan."

Xia Peilin suddenly felt that the air around him became stagnant, and even breathing became difficult.

"Shiyi, your house is a bit stuffy, I'll open the window for you."

Gu Shiyi's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said, "Okay."

Xia Peilin walked to the window of the living room eagerly, but just as he pushed it open, he heard a woman's chuckle.

"Who, who is laughing?!"

Her voice was very sharp, and even Gu Shiyi, who knew something was going to happen, was startled.

"Aunt Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Peilin's breathing became rapid, and her fingertips trembled slightly, "There is a woman in your house."

"How is it possible?" Gu Shiyi denied it flatly, "I have been alone before you came."

Hearing his affirmative tone, Xia Peilin just wondered if she had heard it wrong, when a pale and skinny hand suddenly touched her cheek from behind her ear.

"Ah——"

Gu Shiyi half opened his mouth, looking at the woman floating behind Xia Peilin, and the whole person was scared.

What a terrifying face.

The pupils in the pair of blood-red eyes are completely black, there is only a hole in the nose, and there are no teeth under the woman's bright red lips, but bloody gums.

At this time, he tilted his head and laughed.

Hearing the miserable screams coming from the living room, Yan Zixiu calmly said to Jing Shaoci, "You stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, the woman immediately fell to the ground, knelt down and bowed, "Sir."

As soon as the voice fell, Xia Peilin's eyes rolled up, and she fell to the ground and fainted.

Although Gu Shiyi was still standing there firmly, even his eyeballs could not move.

At this time, Jing Shaoci, who received the message, suddenly walked out.

The woman screamed and flew directly to the corner of the wall.

Yan Zixiu immediately grabbed Jing Shaoci's wrist and said to the woman, "Don't be afraid, he doesn't eat ghosts."

Jing Shaoci looked at him coldly, and then shook off the hand on his wrist.

"Your father has already driven into the community."

Gu Shiyi looked at Yan Zixiu after hearing this, "Now, what should we do now?"

After getting off the car, Gu Jianfeng walked towards Building 8 of the community.

Before getting on the elevator, he asked the driver who followed him to wait for him in the car, and walked in by himself.

Gu Jianfeng, who had originally planned to have a good talk with his son, just came out of the elevator and heard a miserable curse.

"Gu Shiyi, you bastard, I will kill you today!!"

Hearing his son's name, Gu Jianfeng hurried to the direction where the voice came from.

When he opened the tamper-proof security door, he saw Gu Shiyi lying on the floor of the living room at a glance, and Xia Peilin was disheveled, with both hands tightly strangling his neck.

Gu Jianfeng was suddenly startled and shouted immediately, "Stop it!"

Xia Peilin raised her head abruptly when she heard his voice.

She looked at the man walking towards her quickly, her eyes full of viciousness and bottomless murderous intent.

Gu Jianfeng had not noticed Xia Peilin's abnormality at this time. He walked over and pushed her away, then tried to help Gu Shiyi up.

"Son, son, how are you?"

Gu Shiyi covered his neck and tried to breathe hard, then coughed violently.

After finally taking a breath, Gu Shiyi, who had just raised his head, suddenly changed his expression, "Dad, be careful--!!"

Xia Peilin raised a dead tree potted plant in both hands and smashed it hard on Gu Jianfeng's head, but Gu Shiyi blocked it and the potted plant fell on his shoulder instead.

Ten minutes later, Yan Zixiu, who came out of the emergency passage, first tore off the talismans on the doors of the neighbors one by one, then looked at Jing Shaoci and said, "Let's go." After

the two arrived at the hospital, they went their separate ways. Yan Zixiu went to see Gu Shiyi, and Jing Shaoci went to visit Gu Jianfeng.

Gu Shiyi only had a minor injury on his neck. When he saw Yan Zixiu come in, he immediately sat up and said, "How is my dad?"

"Your brother went to see him, it shouldn't be a big deal."

The two asked and answered each other for a few more sentences, and then talked about Xia Peilin.

"If you do evil, you will suffer the consequences. Since she used this evil magic to harm you, she will not have a good ending."

Gu Shiyi now believed him 100%. After he finished talking about his own affairs, he suddenly looked tense, "You said before that my brother would die young, is it true?"

Yan Zixiu frowned for a moment, then looked at him and nodded.

Gu Shiyi clenched his hands suddenly, his eyes red, "Why, I, my brother didn't do anything bad."
