Something seemed amiss. Shi Xi looked at Ji Ruwen and knew that what the other party said was true.
But the Cui family isn't actually in the capital, but in a neighboring city. Shi Xi pondered for a moment and then asked, "Aren't there any feng shui masters who go there?"
Although the Cui family is a troublesome case, in theory, the feng shui masters who live nearby should go there to investigate.
Ji Ruwen nodded, "Someone has already gone."
"Nothing was found, and after returning, they all inexplicably fell into a deep sleep and haven't woken up yet."
So that's how it is. No wonder the relevant departments sought Qin Budu's help.
Looking at Shi Xi's calm expression, Ji Ruwen finally couldn't help but say:
"Remember to keep the amulet with you at all times."
Shi Xi hadn't expected Ji Ruwen to be so loyal to his master, so she responded and prepared to go downstairs.
But then Ji Ruwen suddenly asked:
What happened to your neck?
Ji Ruwen's gaze lingered on the back of Shi Xi's neck. He stepped forward and touched his neck.
—There is a faint red mark there.
"?"
Shi Xi was stunned for a second. It wasn't until Xiao Ruan Jingshan returned to the Joker when he came out that he guessed that the other party must have accidentally touched it.
"It was a mosquito bite," he said casually.
Ji Ruwen didn't know whether she believed him or not, and didn't ask any more questions.
...
Watching Shi Xi leave, Ji Ruwen planned to go back to the second floor, but happened to run into Qi Tingsong coming upstairs at the top of the stairs.
As Ji Ruwen stepped down the stairs and passed by Qi Tingsong.
“If you don’t like it, just say no as soon as possible,” he suddenly said, his voice not loud enough for Qi Tingsong to hear. “Don’t keep Xu Youchu hanging on.”
"When did these rules come about?" Qi Tingsong looked at Ji Ruwen and asked, "I've never heard of them before."
"..." Ji Ruwen's eyes narrowed slightly.
How come he never noticed before that Qi Tingsong was so sharp-tongued?
"...No need for Mr. Ji to remind me, I will stay with Xiao Chu." Qi Tingsong smiled, his tone as natural as could be, as if it were a matter of course.
After saying this, he passed by Ji Ruwen and went straight into Qin Budu's study.
Upon hearing his words, Ji Ruwen turned around almost immediately, glaring coldly at Qi Tingsong's back.
Shi Xi stood at the corner of the stairs, watching Ji Ruwen gaze affectionately at Qi Tingsong as he entered the study.
Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and confidently addressed his capybara system—
"There shouldn't be any problems with the plot this time."
He hesitated for a moment before leaving the study whether to ask Qin Budu to take Qi Tingsong with him, but after thinking about it, he felt that Qi Tingsong would take the initiative to find Qin Budu, so he didn't say anything.
So far in the story, Qin Budu and Qi Tingsong have barely exchanged a few words, so it would be good to take this opportunity to let the two of them interact more.
Unexpectedly, they happened to witness Ji Ruwen flirting with Qi Tingsong.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Ji Ruwen was unaware that Qi Tingsong was his future teacher's wife.
Shi Xi looked at Ji Ruwen with sympathy, then turned and went downstairs.
...
As Shi Xi had predicted, Qi Tingsong also went to the Cui family with them the next day.
Two hours later, Qin Budu's car stopped in front of the ridiculously tall, single-level building.
Shi Xi followed Qin Budu and entered the Cui family's residence under the guidance of government officials... When they entered, there were already several feng shui masters there, who seemed to have come after hearing the news.
