Chapter 508 Chen Wan is not that kind of person
Liu Xing said bluntly: "The Hundred Years' Appointment is almost here."
Shen Wan's eyes darkened and his expression became somewhat serious.
Qi Chong was even more confused: "A hundred-year agreement? What is that?"
Chen Wan held his forehead with his hand: "You have only been in the Ninth Bureau for a few years, it is normal that you don't know these things."
"Have you ever heard of this saying? After the founding of a country, no spirits are allowed."
Qi Chong laughed and said, "Of course I know. Isn't this a meme on the Internet?"
Chen Wan looked at him steadily: "It's not a joke, it really exists."
"Ah?" Qi Chong was confused.
"According to the hundred-year agreement, immortals will not enter the world, demons will not disturb people, beasts will not become monsters, and people will not see demons and ghosts." Liu Xing said.
Chen Wan looked out the window. The distant sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds, as if it was the eve of a storm.
"The hundred-year agreement has expired, and the spiritual energy will definitely revive. Demons and ghosts from all sides are beginning to stir."
Chen Wan turned and looked at Liu Xing again.
Liu Xing felt a little uncomfortable with her stare, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Wan stared at him, counting on his fingers.
"There are still disasters."
Liu Xing's expression suddenly changed: "Did they go to find Master?"
"Not your master." Chen Wan frowned, somewhat undecided, "The person who was chasing you must have done something shameful to take your demon pill."
"Let's go find the person who has your demon pill first."
"Jiuli Academy."
Liu Xing's eyes lit up, "I need a treasure to help me. It can help me gather strength and sense the location of the demon pill."
Shen Wan was suddenly embarrassed: "Is it from the treasure appraisal meeting?"
"Um."
"Ahem, you should have told me earlier. I forgot what that ancient artifact was. I'll go find it."
Liu Xing said a name.
Shen Wan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this antique was taken out by Mr. Xiao.
She called Mr. Xiao directly.
Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was Xiao Rui.
When Xiao Rui heard her voice, he was immediately excited, "Auntie~~~~~I miss you so much~~~~~~"
Chen Wan: “…”
Xiao Jing next to him snatched the phone away, "Sister Xiaowan? What's wrong?"
Shen Wan bluntly asked to borrow the antique.
Xiao Jing looked thoughtfully at his grandfather who was hitting his uncle's head with a cane, and said seriously: "Grandpa is busy now, but you can come to the house directly to get it, I will meet you at the door."
"Grandpa will definitely be very happy if you come home!"
Shen Wan hesitated: "I'll ask someone to get it."
Xiao Jing: "Little sister Wan! These things belong to Grandpa. If you want to borrow them, you should tell him in person. He really wants you to come home!"
Shen Wan was silent for two seconds and agreed.
"Aunt is coming home?" Xiao Rui was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he ran upstairs to find his Abebei. He planned to follow Shen Wan back home no matter what.
Shen Wan came as soon as he said he would, without even giving the Xiao family time to react.
In a flash, she appeared in the Xiao family's living room, sitting in a sedan chair carried by five ghosts.
Both Mr. Xiao and Xiao Renliang were shocked.
"Xiao Wan?"
"Shen Wan?"
The former was pleasantly surprised, while the latter looked doubtful.
"Chen Wan, what are you doing in my house—Ah!"
Before Xiao Renliang could finish his words, his father hit him hard with his cane.
Mr. Xiao scolded: "What do you mean your home? This is Xiao Wan's home too!"
"What happened to her going back to her own home!"
"Xiao Wan, it's great that you can come home. Grandpa is very happy!"
Mr. Xiao went to greet him with a smile on his face.
Shen Wan looked at Xiao Jing in surprise.
Didn’t this girl tell Mr. Xiao why she came?
"Mr. Xiao, I'm here to borrow an antique." Chen Wan said straight to the point, "Of course I'm not borrowing it for free. Money or anything else, just ask for it."
Old Xiao smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, we shouldn't be so polite to each other. There's no need to lend or not. Just take whatever you want."
"Father!" Xiao Renliang hurriedly reminded: "Wen Li is still unconscious!"
Mr. Xiao's face darkened, "Shut up."
Xiao Renliang angrily accused Chen Wan, "What kind of evil magic did you use to make Wen Li still not wake up? If you have such a heart, you should let him wake up first!"
Mr. Xiao scolded him: "I told you to shut up!"
He had already promised Xiao Wan at the treasure appraisal meeting that he would not use any reason to ask her to save Wen Li.
Xiao Renliang was unaware of this, and was only more enraged by Shen Wan's cruelty.
"Wen Li is your second uncle after all. How could you bear to do this?"
Shen Wan's expression was cold: "Why didn't you say anything when he wanted to kill me?"
Xiao Renliang said confidently: "That's because you will kill the Xiao family. My second brother is right to worry."
"Uncle!" Xiao Jing saw Shen Wan's face change, and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't say anything more!"
Xiao Renliang angrily scolded Shen Wan: “Am I wrong?”
"Chen Wan, why do you always act so superior and as if everyone owes you something?"
"I'm telling you, my Xiao family doesn't owe you a single cent!"
"Father is so good to you, and you give him the cold shoulder time and again, and you still have the nerve to come to him to borrow something?"
"Haha, you say you want to borrow money, but you actually want to get some benefits from the Xiao family."
Mr. Xiao slapped him in anger, "Shut up!"
"Don't you dare say that about Xiao Wan!"
"Xiao Wan doesn't care about a penny of the Xiao family at all. How dare you accuse her like this?"
Xiao Renliang was beaten so hard that his left face turned red, but he was not angry. He just said coldly: “Father, I won’t be wrong. Shen Wan is such a person.”
"She was brought back to the big city from the countryside by the Shen family, and she tries to please the Shen family in different ways every day. Isn't that just vanity?"
"Yes, she has become a master of metaphysics now, but that can't change her inherent selfishness!"
Bang!!
Mr. Xiao was so angry that he was shaking all over and slapped him again.
"Xiao Renliang, how could I have a son like you who can't tell right from wrong?"
"Xiao Wan is not that kind of person!"
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. Xiao Wan is totally different from those bastards in the Shen family!"
"She is your sister's little daughter."
Xiao Renliang couldn't hide his disgust for Shen Wan in his eyes, "Yes, she obviously has a face very similar to my sister, but her personality is completely different from my sister's."
Chen Wan said calmly: "If I had known that the Xiao family hated me, I would never have thought of getting close to your Xiao family."
"I came here just to borrow something. I said I wouldn't borrow it for nothing."
"But it seems I came to the wrong place."
Xiao Lao and Xiao Jing's expressions suddenly changed.
"Sister Xiaowan, please don't take your uncle's words to heart."
"Xiao Wan..." Old Xiao became inexplicably frightened.
Shen Wan said calmly: "I am sorry for disturbing you, goodbye."
She turned and left without hesitation.
Xiao Rui hurried downstairs holding a doll, "Aunt, take me with you!"
"Don't go!" Xiao Renliang grabbed his grandson and said, "She will lead you astray. Stay at home!"
