"My phone is still there."
Wen Xi shook her phone, and under everyone's bright gaze, she shook her head and said, "But it's out of battery, and my charger is gone!"
"Damn! It was all for nothing!"
"What should we do? Yuan Qiao, let's go find a public phone outside, or borrow a cell phone."
Tang Ying suggested.
“That’s a good idea!”
Gu Yuanqiao went to his room to change his clothes, put on his coat and prepared to go downstairs.
"Yuan Qiao, I'll go with you."
How could Tang Ying miss this opportunity to be alone, so she quickly chased after him.
"What should we do if they're all gone?"
Wen Yuexin paced anxiously, "Could they have contacted someone and just run away? What about my uncle and Senior Yijun?"
Wen Xi smiled and said contentedly, "Don't worry, they will be back soon."
Sure enough, not long after, hurried footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Gu Yuanqiao and Tang Ying returned panting, looking very unhappy.
Tang Yun asked anxiously, "How is it? Sister, have you contacted the production team?"
Tang Ying still looked a little dazed. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
"I must have been turned away!"
Wen Xi saw through it at a glance.
Gu Yuanqiao's eyes were a little cold, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Wen Xi, do you know something?"
"Didn't you see yesterday? There was a funeral as soon as we arrived in Qingyun Village. Someone died that morning, and the coffin was immediately carried to Qingyun Mountain. And... it took eight people to carry it."
"Eight people carrying a coffin? It's really weird. How heavy was the dead person that required eight people to carry the coffin?"
"More than 200 pounds?"
"Although the coffin bearers are middle-aged, they are all strong men. At least four people should be enough."
"Wen Xi, don't you know how to tell fortunes? What does it mean that eight people carried the coffin?"
Tang Ying's heart was in turmoil. She commanded, "You must explain clearly now."
Wen Jinyu frowned and sneered, "What? It's my sister's freedom to speak up or not. Are you pretending to be a judge? You're here to accuse me. Besides, it was you who didn't believe it before. Don't you think it was a show effect or a plot twist? Are you panicking now?"
Tang Ying shuddered, and stammered, "I-we're a team, we're all 'family', so it's only natural that we share news with each other, right? What do you all think?"
"family?"
Wen Jinyu's eyes were filled with contempt. "It doesn't matter. We can also separate and act on our own!"
[Is this a script? Qingyun Village may be remote, but it's not completely isolated. How could they not be able to find the phone? Besides, aren't the production staff hiding among the villagers? They can go find them.]
What happened in the village? Are there any brothers from Qingyun Village?
Wen Jinyu is a bit too much of a star. From the beginning of the show, he's been very aggressive with his words and not friendly to anyone.
[It's Tang Ying's fault, isn't it? She's so hypocritical. On the one hand, she's trying to curry favor with the Gu family siblings, while on the other hand, she's belittling Wen Xi. Now, she's relying on Wen Xi again. I'd feel uncomfortable in her place, too!]
Tang Yun, the good guy, intervened between the two of them. "Alright, alright, let's all make some concessions. My sister is a cold-faced person with a warm heart. Maybe her words were a bit harsh. I'll apologize to Sister Wen Xi on her behalf."
“Big Brother!”
Tang Ying stamped her feet and grumbled, but did not object.
Wen Jinyu snorted, "That's not necessary. We don't lack an insincere apology."
Tang Ying's eyes were red and filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.
Gu Yuanqiao frowned, "Wen Jinyu, that's enough!"
"Hahaha, whether it's enough or not is not up to you to decide!"
There was a spark in the eyes of both of them.
“Vote!”
A cold voice broke the deadlock on the scene. Wen Xi waved his hand casually. "Now, in this situation, who do you listen to? Let's vote by raising our hands. I'm actually quite easygoing. You can do whatever you want! In my field, I don't accept anyone's questioning. If you don't believe me, you can act separately. If you insist on being together, don't doubt what I say, understand?"
The atmosphere on the scene became much more depressing.
Wen Xi shook his finger and continued, "There's one more thing I need to remind Sister Tang Ying. There's no such thing as resource sharing. In the realm of ghosts and gods, you're just freeloading on resources. It's you who need me, not me who needs you!"
Tang Ying's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
[Oh my god! This sister Wen Xi is awesome. She has such a strong aura. I like her!]
[What a great line! 'You need me, not me.' Sister Wen Xi definitely has something special. I'm on her side this time!]
Wen Jinyu's eyes flashed with a smile. She hooked her arm around Wen Xi's shoulders and said with a smile, "You are indeed worthy of being my little sister. You are indeed bold and courageous. You are right. Brother will vote for you first."
"I also vote for Sister Wen Xi."
Wen Yuexin raised her hand, her eyes determined.
Lu Xiangyu pursed his lips and raised his hand, "If it comes to ghosts, I will vote for Sister Wen Xi."
Tang Yun's eyes widened. "You didn't hesitate at all? Is Sister Wen Xi so powerful?"
"So what? Don't count the two people who fell asleep. Three of them voted, and we still have four people on our side! If anyone wants to listen, listen to Yuan Qiao."
Tang Ying curled her lips and muttered softly.
"I count as one vote myself."
Wen Xi raised his hand and said lightly.
“…Does this mean the votes are tied?”
Gu Yuanqiao frowned, and like Tang Ying, he was obviously conflicted. He didn't want to trust Wen Xi easily, and even less want to listen to her.
Suddenly, the Wen brothers and sisters looked behind them and forced a victorious smile.
Wen Xi smiled slightly, "It seems that I am quite popular and can get most of the votes."
"What do you mean? Who voted for you..."
Tang Ying looked puzzled and turned around in confusion. Seeing Gu Shaoyun weakly raising her hand, the words she was about to say stopped abruptly.
"Sister Yun, why did you vote for Wen Xi?"
"Xiao Yun!"
Seeing their cold eyes, as if they were looking at a traitor, Gu Shaoyun shuddered.
"You'd better give me an explanation."
Gu Yuanqiao, who felt like he was being stabbed in the back by his own sister, said with gritted teeth.
Gu Shaoyun smiled awkwardly, "Second brother, you should listen to what Wen Xi said. This is for the good of all of us, because... we once encountered a ghost, and it was Wen Xi who helped us. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have raised my hand to vote for her. Just believe me this time."
After what happened at the resort, Gu Shaoyun was really afraid of ghosts. Even though she was unhappy with Wen Xi, she could wait until after this incident was over.
"When have you ever seen a ghost? How come I didn't know?"
