Su Zikun took a deep breath. "Master, please don't mind him. This guy is sick and has some serious mental problems. Don't take it personally with a lunatic."
"Su Zikun!!"
The man was furious; his chest heaved as he coughed heavily a few times.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Oh my little darling."
Su Zikun patted his back hard, "Sick patient, say less, or you'll get even sicker."
The man coughed even more violently after being slapped, his whole body trembling violently, and he tried to speak but couldn't.
Lin Xi was speechless and reminded him, "If you keep filming, there's no point in trying to save him; he'll die soon."
"Hahaha……"
Su Zikun smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I went a little too far. How are you feeling?"
The man kept his head down and remained silent.
Su Zikun looked around and said, "Um, Master, could you please take a look at him?"
Lin Xi sat calmly. "If it's wrapped like a rice dumpling, how am I supposed to see it?"
Su Zikun pulled at the man's mask, "Don't cover it up, let the master see your face."
"I don't!"
The man held the mask tightly, and Su Zikun, not being as strong, couldn't pull his hand away.
"Let go! Although you've become ugly, your skin is oily, you haven't washed your hair in three days, and you haven't changed your clothes in two days, I believe the master won't dislike your face..."
"Ouch, why are you pinching me?"
The two started fighting, with Su Zikun taking the hits and sustaining several pinch marks on his arm.
Lin Xi asked, "You don't want to take off your mask because you think I'm a liar?"
"No, no, that's absolutely not what I meant."
Su Zikun took a moment to reply, "He donates incense money to Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries every year, he's even more devout than the old man."
"Shut up!"
The two started fighting again.
Lin Xi said calmly, "There's only one possibility left: you're afraid, afraid of knowing the truth about something. Is it related to your annual donation of incense money, or is it related to meeting me?"
The man's hand paused.
Lin Xi glanced at him and said, “Your ring finger is very long, and the wisdom line in the middle of your palm is deep and forked. You are intelligent, stubborn, and multi-talented.”
"Your career started at Moon Hill. You entered the entertainment industry at the age of fourteen by releasing your first song, became famous throughout the country at sixteen, and became a top star at twenty with a movie."
"Your lifeline has more than one main line at its origin. You moved to the capital with your parents when you were young, and your relationship with them was just average."
"Judging from your palm, you have an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister."
Upon hearing the last sentence, the man turned to look at her, then sat silently in the back seat.
Su Zikun gave a thumbs up, "Holy crap! Master, you're amazing! You can tell so much just by looking at a hand."
"but……"
He scratched the back of his head, full of questions.
"Don't you have a good relationship with your parents? There are only three children in your family, where did this little sister come from? Your mother just gave birth to her fourth child, how come I didn't know?"
"Shut up!"
The man took off his sunglasses and pulled down his mask.
He was slender and tall, with a pair of very beautiful peach blossom eyes, and a beauty mark under his left eye that made him look even more aloof and noble.
His face was deathly pale, and his lips were completely bloodless, giving him a sickly appearance.
The man looked up. "My name is Jiang Ji."
"I'm sorry about earlier."
Lin Xi stared at his face for a long time, her fingertips trembling slightly.
It wasn't because he was particularly good-looking, but because this person named Jiang Ji was related to her by blood.
Lin Xi recalled her father's words.
"That jinx is dead, so be it. Don't mention her again!"
More than ten years have passed, and she had long forgotten what her father and mother looked like. Unexpectedly, she met her relatives here.
Biologically, Jiang Ji is her second brother.
Lin Xi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She was abandoned by her parents at birth, so Jiang Ji probably never met her.
She secretly went to see her parents that time, but she didn't see Jiang Ji.
She and he were just strangers related by blood.
Don't overthink it; just treat Jiang Ji like a stranger.
"Master, Master..."
Su Zikun shook his arms frantically, "Master, wake up! Don't be obsessed with Jiang Ji's beauty. It's impossible for you and him to be together."
"Jiang Ji may be handsome, but he doesn't wash his hair for three days, doesn't shower for two days, doesn't eat on time, and always stays up late playing games. His health isn't good..."
Jiang Ji suppressed his anger and roared loudly.
"Su Zikun!!!"
Lin Xi looked away and rubbed her temples.
"Feel sorry."
"fine."
Jiang Ji gave her a serious look.
Due to his profession, he was used to being scrutinized by all sorts of eyes.
However, the master looked at her with a particularly strange gaze.
Surprise, nostalgia, sadness, and finally, peace—this passage is worthy of an award.
Su Zikun looked at this one, then at that one, and internally screamed, "Holy crap, could these two have hit it off?"
Love came unexpectedly, and he became the third wheel.
Su Zikun cleared his throat. "You guys talk, I'm leaving."
Lin Xi pulled him back and said, "Sit down properly."
"Okay, okay." Su Zikun nodded obediently.
The master's expression changed instantly. What just happened?
He asked timidly, "Master, what do we do next?"
Lin Xi said calmly, "He has a lot of yin energy on him, he probably encountered a vengeful ghost."
Su Zikun screamed, "A vengeful ghost! Is it the ghost I'm thinking of?"
“A vengeful ghost, one of the four most malevolent ghosts. Anyone targeted by it is doomed to die,” Lin Xi explained. “Judging from the level of yin energy on you, this vengeful ghost has been haunting you for three days.”
"You should have a protective artifact, otherwise you would have died at the hands of a vengeful ghost long ago."
"You're right."
Jiang Ji took off the necklace around her neck. "This is a Buddhist prayer bead given to me by the abbot of Qingxin Temple. I always carry it with me, but now the bead is about to crack."
Many cracks appeared on the smooth Buddhist prayer beads, and the golden light around them was quickly dissipating.
Lin Xi leaned closer to examine it. "This Buddhist bead is a good thing. It withstood three attacks from the evil spirit."
Su Zikun shouted from the side, "How could a bead bought with fifty million incense money be bad?"
Fifty million!
Lin Xi was slightly shocked; it was really easy to make money off the rich.
This bead is very ordinary; you can find it everywhere in the antique market, and a large string of them costs ninety-eight yuan.
The Sanskrit above is interesting, but it's not as good as the amulet she drew.
Lin Xi cleared her throat. "These prayer beads are useless now. They can't stop the evil spirit's next attack."
Before Jiang Ji could speak, Su Zikun became extremely anxious, "Master, Director Lei recommended you. He said you are invincible and the most powerful person in the world. Please, you must save him."
"Don't worry, I have a lot of experience catching vengeful ghosts."
Lin Xi looked at the two of them and asked, "Tell me what happened. How did you encounter this ghost? Why was it chasing you?"
Jiang Ji frowned. "I don't know."
Su Zikun nodded, "Although Jiang Ji has a bit of a spoiled brat attitude, he never makes enemies. We really don't know why that damned ghost is bothering him."
