Chapter 019 Chapter 19
On the phone, Ah Yan was sending a message with his lips pursed.
[Ayan]: I sneezed several times. Tell me, is someone secretly thinking about me?
【Jue Jue】: I miss you openly.
【Ayan】: Such earthy love talk! Huh~~~ too earthy!
She leaned on the pillow with a frown on her face, because it was always inconvenient to make phone calls in the dormitory. Even if she wore headphones, she was the only one in the dormitory who had a partner, and the rest were single. She was embarrassed to act coy in front of so many people.
Therefore, Yan basically won’t make phone calls or voice calls with his childhood sweetheart in the dormitory. Mutual respect is the basic principle in public spaces.
【Feeling】：photo.jpg
【Feeling】: Is this fair enough?
The photo Zhu Jue sent was a small painting, showing an ancient alley crowded with people, street stalls filled with coins and jade, and in the center was a girl in a purple skirt with fluttering curly hair.
The date and location are marked in a corner of the painting. Obviously, this was just painted by Zhu Jue and it is the background of today's visit to the Antique Street.
Next to the girl in purple dress in the painting, a big boy who was a head taller than her was looking at the girl with his head slightly tilted. With his eyes full of the girl, Ah Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
【Ayan】: Considering that you miss me so much, I'll consider you qualified.
She rolled over on the bed, saved the photo, and posted it on her Moments.
【Ayan】：Today is Xiaoyan x Xiaozhu, checking in at the Antique Street, photo.jpg^_^
People say couples who show off their affection quickly die, but she just wants to show off, and the people around her are used to it anyway.
Her and Jue Jue’s Moments are posted one after the other. Compared to her simple text, Jue Jue’s Moments are simpler, with a combination of two red hearts as system emoticons, which makes her look very veteran.
After a while, my parents, uncles, aunts, high school classmates, and neighbors in the compound all gave their thumbs up.
Hmm? Yi Zhi also gave himself a thumbs up, saying it was fast enough.
Yi Zhi is looking at A Yan's circle of friends at this moment. In fact, she had already looked at A Yan's circle of friends when she first started to doubt A Yan.
But Yi Zhi didn’t read much, because A Yan’s circle of friends was almost all about showing off their love.
She and her boyfriend climb mountains, go shopping, cook together, celebrate Chinese New Year together, and surf together. In short, it's a show.
To put it in the current popular words on the Internet, anyone who sees her will think she is a girl in love! Or the kind who is very love-minded!
Yi Zhi frowned the last time he watched it, and closed it after only a few episodes.
This time, she still frowned, but not because she was bored, but because she was thinking seriously.
Could it be that this is Ah Yan’s disguise?
Although he has abilities and strength far beyond those of ordinary people, he still acts like an ordinary person.
If she hadn't discovered it by accident, just looking at A Yan's circle of friends, how could a person with superpowers be like this!
Ayan looks completely different from herself. She is full of vitality and looks like a girl who grew up in this modern society.
If she didn't come from another world, then is she a native psychic of this world?
Yi Zhi's eyes flickered and he was full of speculations in his mind.
"Oh, I almost forgot." A Yan, who was rolling around on the bed chatting, suddenly sat up.
"I bought small Five Emperors coins for everyone at the Antique Street, but I was so busy unloading the goods and distributing mineral water that I almost forgot about it."
Ah Yan got out of bed and took out several wrapped small gift boxes from the corner of his backpack. He distributed them to everyone except Ding Ling.
"Five Emperors' Coins? Thank you, Ayan." Although Chu Bingbing was confused, she thanked him, took the box and opened it directly, and saw five copper coins strung together like a bracelet.
"Well, it's used to ward off evil and ensure safety. You can wear it as a bracelet, or hang it near your desk, or even wrap it around your bag." Ah Yan said.
Yi Zhi reached out to take it while he was still on the bed. Gu Jiasui opened it and put it on his hand. There was no ding-bell.
But at this moment, Ding Ling looked as if she understood something, with a look that said, "I understand."
Because Ayan's bed and desk were next to Ding Ling's, and she was standing there, other roommates didn't notice that Ayan didn't actually give Ding Ling the Five Emperors money.
Although he didn't know what Ding Ling had thought of, Ah Yan nodded calmly, washed his hands, and returned to his bed quietly.
The atmosphere in Dormitory 320 has been good since the beginning of the school year, and it is common for students to give gifts to each other.
When we first started school, Ding Ling brought back a lot of delicious food to share. Chu Bingbing gave us skin care products and sunscreen, and put a lot of extra facial masks, skin care products, and makeup on bed number six for sharing. She also bought a lot of daily necessities and toilet paper online and put them on the empty bed number six for sharing. Gu Jiasui also gave everyone one item from her makeup box.
A set of good-quality finished products of the Five Emperors costs nearly four figures. The total amount of money that Ayan spent on the four sets is not as expensive as the eye cream that Chu Bingbing gave him on the day he reported for work.
There's no way, I can't compare with the people with auras, I really can't compare.
At this time, Yi Zhi also discovered this problem. Among the five people in the dormitory, it seemed that she was the only one who had never given gifts to other roommates!
She looked at the Five Emperors' Coins given by A Yan in her hand. Yi Zhi didn't understand it, so she searched on her mobile phone. If it was authentic, a small set of high-quality coins would cost 800 yuan, and the specific price would vary depending on each copper coin.
Yizhi is not short of money now, but what to give to other roommates as gifts is a problem.
Yi Zhi couldn't help rubbing his temples. If it was a favor owed from the previous life, perhaps he would have to repay it with his life. This kind of small exchange of favors was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
She might as well wait and see after the changes in the space are over. She didn't dare to say anything else, but as a wood-type mutant, she could always give away the fruits and vegetables she created without worry.
Everyone in dormitory 320 seemed very tired today. Unlike other dormitories on weekends where people would have tea parties or play games all night until dawn, except for Ah Yan who was secretly giggling under the quilt, the other four people in dormitory 320 all had their own thoughts.
Gu Jiasui was touching his hands. Although he had undergone more than a year of maintenance, his hands were still wrinkled.
Compared to the rough scars on her hands when she first came through, her hands have now recovered a lot, but they are still incomparable to her previous life.
Washing clothes, mopping the floor, even these most basic life skills, she had never done them when she was a princess.
The reason why she went to the antique street today was to find a birthday gift for Grandpa Lu, who was now in poor health.
Unlike the parents who favored Lu Jianian, this old man was extremely kind to her, almost to the point of doting on this granddaughter who had been lost for more than ten years and then found again. The various jewellery in her dressing box that seemed precious to others, the various calligraphy and paintings under her name, and the real estate shop shares and cash were all gifts from this old couple.
No matter what sudden decision she made, her grandparents supported her with all their strength.
Since the old man liked elegant calligraphy and paintings, Gu Jiasui wanted to go look for some, but she never expected that she would find Lan Mo while walking around the stalls.
A piece of blue ink immediately made her feel excited.
Reminds her of the old days.
Today's life cannot be compared with the past. The two societies are hundreds of years apart. According to modern terms, one is the feudal monarchy, and Gu Jiasui, as a princess, undoubtedly enjoyed the best resources and was a superior person provided by the dynasty with all its strength.
She should have missed the past.
Princess Jianing, who could call the wind and rain, have everyone bow to her, and could decide the life and death of countless people with just one word. She was so high and mighty, and the difference between her and the common people was like heaven and earth.
When he first came into this world, Gu Jiasui did miss it.
Dream after dream, every time when she thought she had returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, she woke up in a cold sweat. The soft bed beneath her and the daylight that came on when she waved her hand reminded her again that this was hundreds of years later.
But she didn't know when she started to have fewer dreams and she got used to waking up and seeing the crystal lights on the ceiling.
If it weren't for the piece of blue ink today, Gu Jiasui would have not recalled the past for a long time.
Maybe her life now is too fulfilling, she can even tolerate the little sister in this body jumping around again and again, just for fun.
In her previous life, although she was the eldest princess who was envied by everyone, Gu Jiasui was not very happy.
Even the noble ladies in the capital had a few close friends, but her special status meant that she had few friends. Most of them were in awe and flattery. Everyone had to bow to her when they saw her, including Su Jing, the prince consort, and the inner cabinet...
Princesses are the embodiment of power and status. After marriage, the ladies in the capital often try to please them, but their husbands are polite and respectful to them, but not friendly enough.
Later, she also saw how caring and thoughtful the prince consort was towards her cousin from her mother's family, so she decided to completely separate from him and live alone in the princess's mansion, studying calligraphy and painting and staying away from worldly affairs.
Her cousin who became the emperor said that Jianing had lived like an immortal, not caring about worldly matters. She just smiled and said nothing. It was not that she had lived like an immortal, but the result of the long-term game between her inner desires and education in her heart.
Mingming was studying in the upper study with her cousin the Crown Prince. Other princes could take on responsibilities, but as a princess, she was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.
She once thought about traveling without ceremonial guards, and only taking two or three maids as guards. However, once people found out, her uncle and cousin would send guards to escort her, and someone else would prepare the princess' ceremonial guards.
Such travels cost a lot of money and labor, and she found it boring to be worshipped by people wherever she went.
If she tried food from the stalls, the maid would first try to stop her and then test it for poison. By the time it reached her mouth, it no longer tasted its best.
As a princess, she had no real freedom. She was controlled by the laws of her ancestors and the layers of etiquette, and could not act according to her own will. But in the final analysis, this was the cornerstone of the imperial rule.
She thought about many things during those years, and then simply chose a few of her strengths to devote herself to and spend her time on them.
Perhaps it was because she thought too much, she became sicker for some reason, and had to take medicine constantly, and ended her life at the age of thirty.
Now is the best time of life.
But now she has freedom in today's era. She can do whatever she wants and say whatever she wants. Without the shackles of the past, she really has a lot more freedom.
The last time Gu Jiasui thought about the past was half a month ago, when he met the man with the same name and surname who was suspected to be an old friend.
She was so frightened at the time that her mind was in a mess for a long time and she lost her composure. It was really pitiful.
Gu Jiasui touched the Five Emperors' Coins bracelet given by A Yan on her hand. She curled her lips slightly, thinking of A Yan's expression when he returned the jade bracelet. What she gave A Yan was her own handwriting, and A Yan gave her the Five Emperors' Coins in return. Although everyone has it, this is what a friend is.
In her previous life, she was qualified to be a grandmother, and in this life, she was actually happy because of the gifts given by her friends. Gu Jiasui thought that this seemed not bad.
...
Chu Bingbing looked at her phone.
She was pulled into a group by Mr. Cui from the Palace Museum, which was a service group specially set up for her, the donor of the Zhou Dynasty emperor and princess handscrolls.
The flattery in the group chat made her curl up in her quilt, wishing she could hug herself tightly.
Mr. Cui, you are so old, why are you still not asleep in the middle of the night?
Fortunately, the staff were very polite. They only spoke in the group chat and did not try to add her WeChat privately.
Chu Bingbing hates trouble. It's already troublesome enough to deal with this weird system that would pop up at any time and force her to fulfill consumption tasks that are particularly harsh.
She spent 360 million today, and she didn't even know when this huge amount of money appeared in one of her bank cards.
Now the mission has been completed, but unlike in the past, there is no critical hit return this time. The mission reward is a top-notch flat in the waterfront and a luxury car worth tens of millions.
Today's time is limited, and the reward is still in the system space. Chu Bingbing plans to collect the house and car soon.
However, today's sudden consumption task made Chu Bingbing inevitably have more speculations.
Compared with the more than 300 million today, her previous spending was just a drop in the bucket.
Why did the system require her to bid for the most expensive item? Why did it not even stop her from donating it?
This is the first time that Chu Bingbing feels that the system has revealed a hidden purpose, but she has not yet figured out the mystery.
Fortunately, today we learned that Furongju is a private auction club, which is obviously a small secret place for receiving billionaires.
Because of the huge amount of money spent, Chu Bingbing's WeChat instantly had several billionaire friends. She was also told that the items being auctioned today were actually the collections of a wealthy man in the country. It seemed that the wealthy man had to sell them because he needed liquidity.
It seems that these people were carefully selected before being invited. After all, Mr. Cui from the Palace Museum obviously came for the pressed scrolls she photographed.
After thinking for a while, Chu Bingbing called out in her heart, "System, system, there shouldn't be any more mandatory missions recently, right?"
Although she secretly cursed this shitty system in her heart every day, it had been quite sensible recently. All the tasks were given on weekends and would not affect the normal classes.
Chu Bingbing thought the system would ignore her as before, but unexpectedly she soon heard a mechanical reply.
"Host, the system cannot be determined. Mandatory tasks may be triggered at any time depending on the host's daily routine."
Huh? What does this mean?
Chu Bingbing's mind was racing. Shouldn't the mission be assigned by the system?
"What do you mean by triggering it at any time based on my daily routine? I feel like there's nothing to trigger in my day?" she continued to ask.
But the system stopped making any sounds, as if it had crashed.
"My daily life..." Chu Bingbing murmured in her heart.
The last time a mandatory mission was triggered was on the day she reported for work, when she had just met her roommates in the dormitory.
Today was even less of a routine. When the mission came, she was still lying flat on the bed.
Chu Bingbing's thoughts were flying, and she was still confused.
But she was not in a hurry. When the next mandatory task came, she would secretly record it one by one and observe what kind of rules there were.
Chu Bingbing played with her phone for a while. She saw some news on the hot searches. She never expected that there would be so many things happening in the local antique street in one day.
Seeing the comments about Gu Jiasui and the leak-picking man in the trending searches, she was simply disgusted. She was even more thankful that today's auction was private, and that Ah Yan and his young couple were also very good at keeping secrets.
In fact, she did not ask Ah Yan to keep it a secret, but no one asked about it after she came back. Yi Zhi only asked about the mineral water given for buying things, and it was obvious that Ah Yan mentioned it lightly without revealing a single word about the auction.
Her roommate is a very nice person.
Chu Bingbing herself felt lucky. Their dormitory was designed for six people, but only five were accommodated.
Chu Bingbing was a little worried at first. She had read many complaints about university dormitories on the Internet before. She had never encountered roommates with problems such as those who are shrewd, cheap, green tea and white lotus, nagging and trouble-making, untidy, love-brained, etc.
Yi Zhi is like an old cadre. He gets up early every day to exercise and brings breakfast for the whole dormitory. He is very frugal and has a carefree style of doing things. He doesn't mind providing food for a few people when you just get to know him. He also grows flowers and plants in the dormitory and makes contributions to the greening of the dormitory.
Moreover, the potted plants she brought, whose names I don’t know, can actually absorb the odor from the bathroom, reducing the possibility of quarrels in the dormitory.
Although Gu Jiasui is a celebrity and a beautiful, wealthy woman, she is not arrogant at all. Although she doesn't talk much, she will clean the dormitory and is not picky about meals. She is surprisingly sociable.
She originally thought that since Gu Jiasui was in the entertainment industry, he might just show up at the beginning of the school term and then go to film a movie or a TV show. She didn't expect that he was actually attending school, military training, and classes. Chu Bingbing felt ashamed for her preconceived impression of him from the internet.
As for Ding Ling, she looked skinny, pale, and sickly. She was actually studying archaeology. She was a bit naive and often froze when she heard something. She was so cute! Sometimes, Chu Bingbing didn't even notice that Ding Ling was in the dormitory. Because she was allergic to ultraviolet rays, she had to play with an umbrella during the day and always went out at night. She was as mysterious as the major she studied.
Ah Yan, she is like the distant cousin in the capital that all the aunts and uncles in the small county talk about. She is a standard girl that everyone praises. She comes from a well-educated family and grew up with her childhood sweetheart from the same family.
They are very close in love. They both attend a private high school which is different from ordinary students. They have good grades, talents, and above-average looks. They get along in a gentle way but maintain a distance.
Chu Bingbing thought, if possible, who wouldn’t want to be a girl like this?
Today at the auction, Ah Yan was not curious, did not ask questions, and kept his mouth shut when necessary. During the meal, he did not order a meal without spending his own money, nor did he flatter her. His action of taking mineral water hit her directly in the heart.
In the past, Ah Yan took the initiative to raise issues concerning dormitory cleaning and hygiene, and any issues that needed to be negotiated collectively. He dared to speak up, coordinate with a few people, knew when to advance and retreat, was able to keep his mouth shut, and was neither humble nor arrogant.
If she has a daughter in the future, the best role model will be A Yan.
...
Ding Ling did not go to Mingzhi Hall again tonight because she was a little tired.
After handing over the remnants of the Liang Family Garden to other members of the special case team, she also made relevant records. In addition, she had searched the entire courtyard and fought a battle with the evildoer. Even though she was a ghost, she was exhausted after a day.
Today, the evil sect has the advantage of occupying the formation, which is really annoying.
She saw the Five Emperors' Coins that Ayan had just given to several other roommates. Compared with the magic weapon Five Emperors' Coins that Ayan used during the day, they were completely not of the same level and could probably only serve as a protective tool.
Ding Ling took a moment to realize that the reason why he gave it to the other three roommates was probably to protect them.
After all, I am a ghost that just came out of the earth.
This is something she didn't take into account.
Although the dissipation of her negative energy has been reduced a lot, if it continues for a long time, it may really have some impact on roommates with poor health.
Ah Yan said nothing, but just silently took care of everything for her. Thinking of this, Ding Ling was so moved that she couldn't express it in words.
It was late at night and the phone was silent. Ding Ling was in a very good mental state. She saw the message from the special case team saying that the incident in Liang Family Garden today had been investigated.
The speed is really fast! Ding Ling sighed in her heart, everyone must be working overtime at this time.
She looked at the string of messages sent to her by Xiaogua, a member of the special case team.
[Xiaogua]: Sister Lingdang, regarding the negative energy you described feeling in the Antique Street today, we have now obtained an investigation result.
[Xiaogua]: Two incidents occurred in Bincheng Antique Street this morning. One, a woman picked up Zhou Chaolan ink. Two, a man won hundreds of millions of jadeite in gambling. The two incidents quickly fermented and spread in the Antique Street. A large number of people wanted to surge and explode, causing the fierce ghosts who were originally raised and controlled by criminals in the basement of Liangjiayuanzi to riot. They first tried to break away from the control of the criminal Huang, and then were suppressed by the formation and Huang.
So that's how it is. Ding Ling nodded.
【Xiaogua】: Video. Video. Video
She clicked on the three videos sent by Xiaogua and took a look. They were relatively clear on-site videos of the two incidents.
The protagonist of the first video was her roommate Gu Jiasui, but Ding Ling noticed the back of Ah Yan's head, as if he was watching the excitement.
The protagonist of the second video is her roommate Yi Zhi who is dressed up. Ding Ling immediately sees A Yan and her boyfriend watching the fun nearby.
Ding Ling: !!!
Ever since she entered the Liang Family Garden during the day, her cell phone had no signal, so she had no idea what was happening on the Antique Street, let alone that the protagonist was her roommate and the passerby was also her roommate.
Wait, that's not right!
Ding Ling thought about it and realized that when she said something wrong, Ah Yan said that Yi Zhi did not go to the Antique Street. This was to make up for her.
In fact, A Yan knew that Yi Zhi had gone, and he was right in front of her.
It was because of this that Ah Yan saw the human desires rising because of the incident caused by Gu Jiasui and Yi Zhi, and she probably had already anticipated that this might cause problems.
But it was morning at that time, and the desire of people in the antique street had not yet gathered and expanded further, so Ah Yan did not deal with it and accompanied Chu Bingbing to buy things.
By the afternoon, A Yan realized something was wrong after he separated from Chu Bingbing, and sent himself a message.
People with Xuanmai can easily locate the location with the help of the hexagram. Just judging by the amount of Five Emperors' Coins that Ah Yan took out today, it is enough to prove that she has never lacked these things.
Afterwards, Ah Yan arrived at the Liang family garden and solved the most difficult problem effortlessly. He pretended to be a random person and left casually, and also called the police.
Legend has it that the top masters of Xuanmai have a pair of Yin-Yang eyes that can see the mysteries of heaven and deduce fate. They practice in the world, act low-key, do not actively get involved in cause and effect, and do not accept donations and offerings.
Just do good things without worrying about the future, but once you take action, it will definitely involve thousands of lives and concern the people.
Presumably, Ah Yan had some foresight in the morning. She must have felt the evil energy emanating from the ghost and deduced several possibilities, even anticipating the formation!
In this way, Ah Yan was able to see through the core of the formation and hit it with one strike when he arrived at the Liang family garden without even entering the door.
From beginning to end, everything was under Ayan's control!
Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not interfere with the fate of others, and when it comes to a critical moment of life and death, save the situation from collapse and support the building that is about to collapse!
Yes, that should be the case.
Gu Jiasui and Yi Zhi probably had no idea what kind of chaos they had passively caused, and the ghost almost rushed out.
Even if I didn't take action, I think A Yan would solve it for the people.
Ding Ling knew that in a case like today, the greatest meritorious person would be rewarded with a very high reward, but Ah Yan was the one who made the greatest contribution, yet he left in a low profile.
She refused to acknowledge her own contribution in order to avoid being implicated.
Ding Ling could say bluntly that Ah Yan cleaned up the mess in their dormitory today, but she did it quietly and only she and her boyfriend knew about it.
Compared to the reward from the special case team, Ah Yan was simply giving her merit for free! Resolving the evil cultivators and ghosts that were about to break through the formation was equivalent to preventing the possible outbreak of ghosts in the antique street and saving many lives.
Ding Ling could fully feel the changes in her ghost body. The speed at which her Yin Qi was escaping became more and more restrained, and it was half as strong as before!
This is the effect of merit.
It is incredible that she gained merits as the King of Ghosts.
Originally, when she was dug out of the coffin, the evil spirit dissipated like a strong wind. The special case team did not find the reason at that time, but they had a guess.
That is - the living are yang and the dead are yin. She violated the rules by reviving as a ghost, so heaven did not allow it, and the dissipation of yin energy was the price she paid.
And now, Heaven has bestowed merit on the ghost body, as if even Heaven has tacitly approved of her existence.
Could it be that this was also under Ah Yan's control? She saw through everything, so she killed two birds with one stone, not only to avoid being involved in the cause and effect, but also because she saw her own problems, so she took advantage of the situation and gave this merit to herself.
Yes, that must be the case.
Ding Ling felt that she owed Ah Yan many favors that she could never repay, and her heart was heavy.
A Yan had nothing to do with the cause and effect, but she had to repay him.
After the case is over, she should be credited with a lot of merits. She turned on her phone and entered a special APP. A Yan refused and did not admit her actions, but she could not take the credit for herself. She asked her to see what good things suitable for A Yan were in the treasure house of the Special Case Bureau.
The so-called saint is nothing more than this!
