Chapter 96 The Metaphysics Master's Fiancée 13
Luo Shuyu told Jiang Yiqing her thoughts, and Jiang Yiqing asked, "Do you really want to investigate?"
Luo Shuyu told Jiang Yiqing her thoughts, and Jiang Yiqing asked, "Do you really want to investigate?"
The surveillance in this world can present past events exactly as they happened. Jiang Yiqing felt very strange thinking that there were also surveillance cameras installed in her room.
"This is for Qinghao."
Even so, Jiang Yiqing still felt uncomfortable. Why did she feel awkward about letting others see her daily life?
Li Tingfang and Jiang Shangwei also agreed to check the surveillance footage. Seeing Jiang Yiqing's sullen appearance, Jiang Shangwei said, "Yiqing, don't be childish. What if it's really like what Shuyu said, that an evil spirit has sneaked into your room?"
"Yiqing, do you have some kind of secret you're hiding?" Aunt Qin teased.
Jiang Yiqing blushed and said, "No, I didn't."
"Then there's no problem."
So Aunt Qin pulled up the surveillance footage, but to protect Jiang Yiqing's privacy, she only allowed Luo Shuyu to watch it.
Jiang Yiqing sat down next to Luo Shuyu and together they reviewed the surveillance footage from the time she was taken away by the ghost.
The scene shows a very strange situation: she suddenly floats in the air and is pulled out of the window by something unknown.
Jiang Yiqing was initially worried that her family would discover that she had turned those flowers into pieces, and that they would think she was a creature similar to a ghost. But looking at it from this point in time, she no longer had any concerns.
As time went on, Luo Shuyu stared intently at a certain spot on the surveillance footage, which played back and forth. Jiang Yiqing followed her gaze and noticed that a bloody handprint suddenly appeared on the wall, but it slowly disappeared into the wall over time. No one appeared on the screen during the appearance and disappearance of the handprint.
"What is this handprint?" Jiang Yiqing asked.
"Only a powerful ghost of the Earth Rank or above can use this venomous hand seal to cause nightmares for the homeowner. If the homeowner feels guilty towards someone, they will constantly see ghostly figures pretending to be guilty people, and those with weak minds will gradually go insane," Luo Shuyu said. "If it's not due to years of resentment that one cannot drive a ghost of this level, it's most likely that it was caused by Sister Wang."
"Shuyu, you have to think of a way to save Yiqing!" Jiang Shangwei said anxiously after hearing their conversation.
"The venomous handprint is difficult to remove unless—"
"Shuyu, as long as it's something that Lihua and I can do, we will do our best."
Jiang Yiqing felt a surge of warmth as she looked at the love her two mothers showed her. This was the kind of maternal love she had never received before.
"By drawing upon the earth's spiritual energy to bless this dwelling, the effects of the malevolent handprint can be eliminated to the greatest extent possible."
"Where is the earth's spiritual energy? How long will it take? Can it be done before Yiqing's birthday?" Jiang Shangwei said, "Shuyu, you are the most powerful metaphysical master, tell me quickly what to do."
“To activate spiritual energy, a complementary cycle must be formed. Otherwise, if a ley line is damaged, it will cause frequent disasters for the inhabitants of that place. This is not something that can be done overnight,” Luo Shuyu said. “However, I can make a talisman so that Yiqing will not be troubled by nightmares.”
"This cursed hand seal is so powerful. Since it was cast on a residence, would it be feasible to have Yiqing leave here temporarily?"
“The Curse Hand Seal takes effect when it receives a person’s aura. Although it is now parasitizing the house, it is already connected to Yi Qing.” Luo Shuyu said, “If this is what Sister Wang did by driving this ghost, she will naturally not let Yi Qing off easily. As long as the resentment in her heart is not dispelled, this curse seal will be difficult to remove.”
After saying that, she looked at Aunt Qin and said, "Aunt Qin, please connect the surveillance camera to my phone. To prevent the vengeful ghost from taking action again, I will keep an eye on the room."
Aunt Qin looked at Jiang Yiqing and asked, "Yiqing, is it okay?"
"Can I stay in a guest room?" Jiang Yiqing asked.
"If Sister Wang is about to make a move, we'd better not alert her," Luo Shuyu said.
"..." Jiang Yiqing was speechless, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Aunt Qin took this as tacit consent and advised, "Yiqing, try to stay in the villa as much as possible. If you need to go out, you must go with Miss Luo. You're a very active child, so to prevent you from sneaking out on your own, Miss Luo should keep an eye on you for us."
Jiang Yiqing glanced at her phone's calendar. There were still twenty days until her birthday. In other words, for the next twenty days, she would be living like she was in prison, with Luo Shuyu monitoring her every move.
She gave Luo Shuyu a resentful look. Luo Shuyu met her eyes and said, "Yi Qing, don't get it wrong. The connections between people are not as beautiful as you imagine. They can also be very dark and unpleasant."
Jiang Yiqing looked at the red thread in her hand. The fate that was bound by something certainly aroused people's imagination, but if they really couldn't be separated, wouldn't they feel annoyed?
As long as fate continues, she and Luo Shuyu will be bound together by this red thread day after day, month after month, year after year. Can she guarantee that she will never get tired of it? Not only her, but how does Luo Shuyu view this? Has she ever thought about ending this bond?
"Sister Luo, what about you? Do you ever get tired of the connections between people?"
"No." Luo Shuyu looked at Jiang Yiqing with a somewhat deep gaze and said, "So, I hope you've thought this through. My time and energy are only enough to spend getting to know one person and being with one person. If it's the person I choose, I hope she can be with me until the end. If it's—"
"if?"
“She betrayed me, and I’ll show her that I’m not someone to be trifled with.”
"She has absolutely no sense of romance and is filled with infuriating meritocracy," Jiang Yiqing said. She learned the term "meritocracy" from the internet, and in her opinion, Luo Shuyu was one of the staunch practitioners of meritocracy. She seemed to lack emotion and applied the same attitude she had towards things to her emotions.
This kind of person is definitely not a suitable romantic partner. However, Jiang Yiqing could somehow sense a hint of...emotional sweetness from her.
"What are you talking about?" Aunt Qin looked at them, feeling that she might have a problem with her comprehension, as she couldn't understand what the two children were chattering about.
"Hahaha." Li Tingfang laughed out loud and left hand in hand with Jiang Shangwei.
“I told you, with Shuyu here, we can rest assured.” Jiang Yiqing heard her whispering something to Jiang Shangwei.
"I feel at ease entrusting Yiqing to her."
Jiang Yiqing was speechless. Was this what arranged marriage was? She and Luo Shuyu weren't even that close yet.
No, she heard Aunt Qin say that her marriage to Luo Shuyu was arranged by having someone look at their birth charts. Can't you say that?
So, is it a match made in heaven?
However, it remains to be seen whether they themselves will accept it.
Jiang Yiqing was a little angry and still didn't want to buy it. First of all, she hated being watched by a bad guy all the time.
After she went upstairs, she deliberately made a mess of the room so that Luo Shuyu could see her most authentic self.
She deliberately wore strange clothes and walked around the room. Since Halloween was coming soon, she put on some weird and unusual makeup. She wondered if ghosts would be scared if they saw her.
When Luo Shuyu came to her room again, she saw Jiang Yiqing's room covered in scribbles. She went over and grabbed her arm, saying, "That's enough."
"What's wrong? Can't I do my own makeup?" Jiang Yiqing turned to ask her.
"Poor technique," Luo Shuyu commented.
"...Hmph." Jiang Yiqing said angrily, "Did you come here just to criticize me?"
Luo Shuyu handed a talisman to Jiang Yiqing and said, "Put this under your pillow and you won't have nightmares at night."
“I’m not afraid at all,” Jiang Yiqing said.
"You can see ghosts, and you say you're not afraid?" Luo Shuyu asked. "Then do you know about the Seven Star Soul Lock and the Four Pillars and Eight Nails? If a vengeful ghost has its eye on you, who knows what vicious methods it might use to deal with you. I'm doing this for your own good, so stop making trouble."
Okay, it would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.
Jiang Yiqing looked at her and said, "Since Sister Luo is so worried about me, why don't you stay in my room? Wouldn't that allow you to keep an eye on everything around you? Why do you have to watch those security cameras? What's so interesting about that?"
A blush rose on Luo Shuyu's fair face as she looked at her in surprise, seemingly not expecting those words to come from her.
Seeing that she was staring at her without saying a word, Jiang Yiqing regretted it.
“…I was just kidding.” She said, and tried to shake off Luo Shuyu’s hand.
Just then, Luo Shuyu's phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was her mother, Luo Shu, calling.
After they exchanged a few words, Luo Shu said, "You stay with Yi Qing. I have something to say to her."
Luo Shuyu then whispered, "My mom wants to say a few words to you, so just say a few words to her."
Jiang Yiqing readily answered the phone and said, "Hello, Auntie, this is Yiqing."
"Yiqing, has Shuyu been bothering you all lately?"
"No, it's me who's bothered her."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Luo Shu, Jiang Yiqing felt no distance between them at all. Although it was their first time speaking, it felt like they were very close.
"By the way, Yiqing, your birthday is coming soon. I'm abroad dealing with work matters and won't be able to come back for a while. I'm really sorry. As compensation, Yiqing, if there's anything you want, just tell your aunt, and I'll make it happen for you."
"Auntie, don't worry about it. Just focus on your work."
“I know you don’t lack anything, so—even if it’s a bit of a whimsical request, your auntie will grant it. Just think of your auntie as Santa Claus and make a wish first. On your birthday, your wish will definitely come true.”
Is this the confidence that comes from a female CEO? Jiang Yiqing blinked and said, "Really? Auntie, let me think about it. I'll tell you later, okay?"
"Okay, let's add each other as contacts. That way it'll be easier to stay in touch."
