The call was answered quickly, and Xu An exclaimed with delight, "Master!"
The stranger replied, "Hmm."
He said, "I can feel the death aura emanating from you."
Xu An paused, his heart filled with even greater panic, and said, "Master, do I not have much time left to live?"
"Hmm, judging from the death aura emanating from you, you have less than seven days left to live."
Xu An cried out anxiously, "Master, you must save me!"
The stranger said, "I'll say it again: I can't save you; only Chi Qiangwei can."
Xu An said in disbelief, "Master, you are so powerful, how could you not save me? You are the kind of person who can save even cancer."
“Your illness is just a heart disease to you mortals, but it is not simple in the eyes of us practitioners. Your heart problem is quite special, and the one who tied the knot must untie it.”
Xu An didn't understand what he was saying. "You're saying someone else did this to me?"
The stranger remained silent and did not reply.
Upon seeing this, Xu An asked, "Can Chi Qiangwei really save me?"
"But she's just an ordinary person, how can she save me?"
He suddenly realized something, "Could it be that she's not an ordinary person?"
The stranger didn't answer him. "Within these seven days, you must get Chi Qiangwei to save you, or you will..."
Xu An's expression changed. "She will definitely save me."
The stranger added, "By the way, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
Xu An: "I know."
At worst, she'll find out I lied to her, but so what?
Although he liked Chi Qiangwei, he wanted to live even more.
No one ever knew how strong his desire to live was; it seemed to be etched into his very bones. He just wanted to live well, no matter the cost.
...
Qiao Shize was at the company, preparing to pack up and leave work.
Suddenly, a colleague came over and said, "Qiao Shize, did you know? Our Vice President Xiao and Minister Fang are together."
"Oh, when did this happen? How come I didn't know?" Qiao Shize said.
"You run off as soon as it's time to leave work, you took leave a couple of days ago, and you don't like gossip, so you probably didn't know that."
Another colleague came and said, "He's not Minister Fang anymore; he's the director now."
"Yes, yes, Minister Fang is already a director. I'm used to calling him Minister Fang."
“I knew they would end up together. Ever since that annoying Ding Huizhou left, the feng shui in the company has improved.”
"Yes, it's all thanks to getting rid of that Ding Huizhou early on."
"Hey, that's strange, where did Ding go back to the prefecture?"
"Who cares where he went? That weird self-confidence of his is disgusting. Someone will definitely take care of him."
"I also have some inside information about Vice President Xiao that you probably don't know."
"What kind of gossip is it?" a few colleagues asked curiously as they gathered around.
The other person whispered, "So, Vice President Xiao is actually the daughter of our company's chairman."
"Oh, really?"
"It's true. Just wait and see, the chairman will announce it soon."
Qiao Shize said, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go home now."
He greeted everyone, and they began to tidy up their things and left one after another.
Qiao Shize, who was waiting for a bus on the street, suddenly saw the man in strange clothes from last time. The most eye-catching thing was the ancient sword on his back.
He must be an actor who just came out of the film crew.
When Di Jian saw Qiao Shize again, he quickly ran over, and Qiao Shize could feel how fast the other man moved.
"Master Fanze!"
Qiao Shize's face darkened. "I've already said I'm not some kind of master, much less the Master Fanze you're talking about."
Di Jian said, "I know. I looked into it, and you must have been reincarnated, so it's normal that you don't remember me."
Qiao Shize, “…”
What the heck? He thought this was a fantasy movie.
“Sir, we must believe in science.” He had barely finished speaking when he thought of Chi Qiangwei, as if the world really was not so simple.
Di Jian said, "Master Fanze, you didn't encounter that demoness in this life, did you?"
Qiao Shize: "Witch? What witch?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jian revealed a look of gritted teeth, "It was that flower demon, it was she who caused you to lose your cultivation and become an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Shize's eyes flickered slightly.
“Master Fanze, if you encounter that demoness, you must stay far away from her. If you do, be sure to call me.”
"By the way, Master Fanze, what's your phone number? Let's exchange contact information so it'll be easier to stay in touch in the future."
Di Jian took out a basic mobile phone with buttons from his pocket.
Qiao Shize stared at the man in front of him like an old man on the subway looking at his phone, his head down searching for the buttons.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at using this phone yet. It was a gift from a kind young lady."
Qiao Shize said, "I'll teach you."
He told him where the phone contacts were located, and then entered his phone number there.
After a series of steps, Di Jian finally figured out how to use the phone.
Then he said, "Master Fanze, thank you!"
Qiao Shize: "My name is Qiao Shize, you can just call me by my name."
Di Jian refused, saying, "Master Fanze, we'll meet again!"
Then Di Jian left.
Qiao Shize stared at his retreating figure, lost in thought.
...
Chi Qiangwei has been unable to focus on filming her new movie these past few days, and she plans to terminate her contract with the film.
Fortunately, the agreement she signed stipulated that if she terminated the contract, she would only have to pay a small portion of the penalty, which wouldn't be too much.
When her agent heard her decision, she was surprised. "Chi Qiangwei, are you out of your mind? Is this for that Xu An again?"
While the two of them were talking, a trending topic about Chi Qiangwei quietly appeared online.
#Breaking News! Chi Qiangwei has a boyfriend she's been dating for many years?#
This trending topic surprised all fans and netizens.
Is this for real? Isn't my goddess single?
Yeah, how could she possibly be looking for a boyfriend?
[I knew Chi Qiangwei definitely had a boyfriend.]
So... the gossip from last time was actually true? Chi Chiang-wei was actually on a date with her boyfriend on her birthday?
It's perfectly normal for celebrities to have boyfriends or girlfriends. Look at those celebrities who had their careers ruined by scandals; weren't all of them cultivating a persona that didn't match their reality?
[It's not just inconsistent, it's utterly inconsistent, it's downright horrifying.]
I have a feeling this "Pond Rose" project is going to collapse.
Please don't have any premonitions, thank you!
Upon seeing this, the agent immediately reacted and said, "Go and find out which magazine published this."
She felt this must be an attack on her family, and that they had found a handle against Chi Qiangwei.
Chi Qiangwei had no time to pay attention to this trending topic; her phone suddenly received a notification that Xu An was in critical condition.
