Upon hearing this, Shi Xi looked at Qin Budu, as if waiting for him to explain.
Qin Budu knew that Shi Xi was looking at him at this moment, and he could feel Shi Xi's gaze. He turned his head and tilted his head towards Shi Xi, but he could not see the expression on the other's face.
Because he can't see it now.
Qin Budu didn't think much of it before. Even though he was blind, his strength was not affected in any way. He was still the all-powerful Immortal Master Qin in everyone's eyes.
Qin Budu felt the hilt of the dagger near the blade, where there was a small indentation with two characters subtly engraved: "岁岁" (year after year).
Nightmare demons feed on human desires, which means that as long as people have desires, nightmare demons will arise and cannot be completely eliminated.
After a slight pause, he said to Shi Xi, "The yin energy is too strong. Just use your coin."
His assistant had told him that, unlike the common magical artifacts such as talismans, arrays, and whips used by others, Shi Xi used a coin.
Shi Xi nodded. "Okay."
"...Was this nightmare demon doing this on purpose?" Gan Sui couldn't help but suspect. "Wanting to taint Xiao Chu with yin energy so she'd be easier to deal with?"
If Sui Sui knew Gan Sui's guess, she would definitely snort coldly.
He's not that vengeful!
He just felt that Shi Xi seemed to like the dagger, so he took a few more glances at it before giving his weapon to Shi Xi.
Qi Tingsong glanced at Gan Sui, then looked at Shi Xi's profile, and didn't really agree with Gan Sui's guess.
...
With the Cui family's affairs concluded, Gan Sui returned to the manor with Shi Xi.
As soon as Shi Xi arrived at the manor, she saw Ji Ruwen standing in the garden watering roses.
"Senior Brother," Shi Xi greeted.
Upon hearing Shi Xi's voice, Ji Ruwen paused, turned to look at her, and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Whenever Shi Xi calls him so seriously, it's never anything good.
Ji Ruwen looked at Gan Sui entering the manor and was about to ask him why he had come when he heard Qi Tingsong say with a slight smile—
"Xiao Chu was worried you'd be bored by yourself, so she brought her good friend over."
Gan Sui: "..."
Is he something for people to amuse themselves?
Ji Ruwen: "..."
Worried he'd be bored? No one would believe Qi Tingsong's words.
Upon hearing this, the two of them thought to themselves, then simultaneously frowned, glanced at each other, and quickly looked away.
“Fellow Daoist Ji and Fellow Daoist Gan are about the same age,” Qi Tingsong said with a smile, “so they’ll probably get along even better.”
Ji Ruwen knew that Gan Sui had probably come to find Shi Xi, and that Qi Tingsong was deliberately saying these things to annoy the two of them. His temper was not very good to begin with, and hearing Qi Tingsong's words, he felt a surge of anger.
"Fellow Daoist Ji is certainly welcome as a guest, but Xiao Chu and I get along quite well."
"You agree, right?" Ji Ruwen adjusted his glasses, then looked at Shi Xi, seemingly seeking his approval, "Junior Brother."
“…Yes.” Shi Xi said, “It’s getting late, Senior Brother, please arrange a room for Gan Sui.” Then she pulled Qi Tingsong, “It’s time to sleep now, let’s go back to our rooms quickly.”
Ji Ruwen: "..."
"Mr. Qin, let's go back to our room first," Shi Xi said.
Upon hearing this, Qi Tingsong smiled, his eyes deepening with amusement. He waved to the group and said, "We'll head back now."
He followed Shi Xi to the door of the room, and Shi Xi opened the door and said to him, "Go back to sleep, bye-bye."
Then, with a 'snap', the door slammed shut.
Qi Tingsong's smile froze on his face.
