The entire Cui family is dead?!
Upon hearing this news, Shi Xi looked up at her assistant, her heart suddenly filled with shock.
Although the Cui family is not considered a major family in the feng shui world, they are still well-known and have a certain presence.
How could everyone have died overnight?
Moreover, the original storyline didn't mention anything about the Cui family...
Is it just a trivial matter in the original story, or is there another possibility?
As Shi Xi was getting ready to leave amidst a flurry of speculations, she heard Qin Budu say, "Rest for the night, and you'll come with me to the Cui family tomorrow."
After saying that, Qin Budu handed over a bracelet that was exactly the same as the one on Shi Xi's wrist.
"It's new, I carry it with me all the time."
"Why didn't Ji Ruwen have it?" Shi Xi took the bracelet and asked the question that had been on her mind.
“I don’t know his wrist size.” Qin Budu glanced at Shi Xi. “Don’t worry about him.”
"..." Shi Xi remained silent.
He felt that Qin Budu and Ji Ruwen, the master and disciple, didn't seem to know each other very well.
Shi Xi nodded, picked up the Joker card, and said, "Understood."
The assistant standing to the side noticed what Shi Xi was holding and was completely stunned.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was Ruan Jingshan's legendary Joker card, wasn't it?!
To have such an opportunity just by going out is incredibly lucky.
...
Shi Xi had just left the study.
Then I saw Ji Ruwen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the scenery outside.
Seemingly only just noticing Shi Xi, Ji Ruwen turned his head, looked her over, and asked, "You know about the Cui family's matter?"
"Mm," Shi Xi said.
"When do we leave? Tomorrow?" Ji Ruwen asked.
"..." Shi Xi didn't dare to tell Ji Ruwen.
Qin Budu did not intend to bring him along this time.
He glanced at Ji Ruwen with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, then corrected her—
"It wasn't us."
"?"
"It was Mr. Qin and I who went."
"Why is it just the two of you? I don't have to go?!" Ji Ruwen's expression changed, and he looked at Shi Xi in disbelief.
Seemingly unexpectedly, he has once again become a left-behind child responsible for looking after the house.
He almost blurted out, "Why not me!"
Ji Ruwen still remembered that apart from the first time when Qin Budu accompanied him to deal with ghosts, he had never been with him again.
I just gave him some books and let him figure it out on his own. If there's anything he doesn't understand, he can just ask.
He originally thought Qin Budu would feel the same way about Shi Xi, and he was even ready to set off with Shi Xi.
But Ji Ruwen's emotions only lasted for two seconds. He adjusted his glasses and suppressed the surprise and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He simply told Shi Xi about the Cui family's situation.
The Cui family were not originally practitioners of feng shui; they only began studying feng shui and entered the feng shui world a few years ago.
Perhaps due to their innate talent, everyone in the Cui family has some knowledge of feng shui, even the children who have just learned to read have a little bit of understanding.
"...A family of geniuses??" Shi Xi looked somewhat surprised when she heard this.
According to Ji Ruwen, the Cui family is definitely blessed by God... Could it be that the Cui family is some kind of hidden great family?!
“...Not really,” Ji Ruwen said.
"How so?" Shi Xi immediately asked.
Ji Ruwen continued.
Although the Cui family had entered the field of feng shui, they were only half-baked. They usually dealt with ordinary ghosts and monsters and did feng shui consultations for nouveau riche, which is how they made their fortune.
Perhaps knowing their own limitations, the Cui family never participated when feng shui masters gathered for meetings.
And just last night.
The entire Cui family, more than a dozen people, all died in their sleep, their faces contorted with rage and fear, as if they had been scared to death.
All of this happened with the doors and windows tightly closed, and no ghosts or monsters allowed to enter.
It wasn't until the next day that the deliveryman noticed something was wrong and called the police, looking terrified.
Their neighbors said they seemed to hear knocking on the door last night, which lasted all night, but the noise stopped when they went to ask what was going on.
Since there were no external injuries and no signs of anyone else entering the scene except for members of the Cui family, and since the Cui family had no enemies, the relevant departments were able to find Qin Budu.
