Chapter 95 You...you're scaring me! I have a weak constitution!
The car drove smoothly into the Songshan villa area and finally stopped in front of an impressive villa.
As Shen Yuepo stepped out of the car, an invisible resistance swept over her senses the instant her feet touched the ground.
Her steps paused almost imperceptibly.
Formation...
This formation is not for attack, but rather has the power to isolate and isolate evil spirits.
No wonder Lin Cheng's soul couldn't enter the Lin family.
Ordinary spirits that approach this place will at best be burned and driven away by the power of this yang energy, and at worst their souls may be damaged or even dissipate.
This is definitely not something an ordinary family would decorate.
"Master Shen, Yizhou, this way please." Lu Jin led the two of them toward the villa gate with practiced ease.
Shen Yuepo composed herself, her face regaining its coldness, and followed behind Lu Jin and Xiao Yizhou.
As you approach the villa's gate, bright lights pour out, illuminating two smiling faces at the entrance.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, slightly overweight, and dressed in an elegant silk Tang suit.
With a beaming smile and the shrewdness and worldliness typical of businessmen, he was Lin Cheng's adoptive father and the head of the Lin family—Lin Xun.
Half a step behind him stood a young man who looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
He was tall and straight, wearing a well-fitting dark blue bespoke suit, his hair was neatly combed, and a perfectly timed smile played on his lips.
This is the Lin Rui that Lin Cheng mentioned.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, Ah Jin, welcome, welcome! Your presence is an honor to our humble abode!"
Lin Xun greeted him warmly, extending his hands and pointing directly at Xiao Yizhou, his attitude respectful and even a little obsequious.
Xiao Yizhou's arrival clearly delighted him.
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind." Xiao Yizhou smiled faintly, extended his hand for a brief handshake, and maintained a distant attitude.
Lu Jin exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Xun, then deliberately stepped aside to let Shen Yuepo move forward a little:
“Uncle, this is Master Shen, whom I mentioned to you before. Today, on my cousin’s birthday, we’ve invited Master Shen to come and take a look.”
Lin Xun seemed to have just noticed Shen Yuepo, and the smile on his face instantly switched to a slightly perfunctory politeness.
His gaze swept quickly across Shen Yuepo's young face, carrying a hint of barely perceptible suspicion, but he still spoke enthusiastically:
"Oh, Master Shen! I've heard so much about you! Ah Jin highly recommends you! She says you're incredibly skilled! It's really kind of you to make this trip today! Please come in, please come in!"
Although his tone was enthusiastic, his attention was clearly still focused on Xiao Yizhou. He only gave Shen Yuepo a symbolic nod and didn't even extend his hand.
Shen Yuepo didn't care about this at all. He just nodded slightly and looked past Lin Xun, landing directly on Lin Rui's face beside him.
Lin Rui's perfect smile remained unchanged, still impeccably polite. He met Shen Yuepo's gaze, his voice gentle:
"Master Shen, I've heard so much about you. Thank you for your hard work. Welcome."
His eyes were clear and open, as if he were truly a gentle and refined person.
Shen Yuepo's gaze lingered on Lin Rui's face for only a very short moment before calmly shifting away, as if it were just a casual glance.
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind." Her voice remained cold and emotionless.
Lin Rui's smile remained unchanged. He stepped aside, gesturing for him to proceed, his posture impeccable.
"Mr. Xiao, Ah Jin, Master Shen, please come in."
Lin Xun immediately and enthusiastically ushered Xiao Yizhou inside, uttering flattering words.
Lu Jin gave Shen Yuepo a slightly apologetic look.
Shen Yuepo responded calmly and followed.
Upon entering the Lin family villa, the air was filled with the aroma of champagne and food.
Lin Rui's birthday banquet was a lively affair, with many guests invited.
Waiters in uniforms moved about, with a melodious string quartet playing in the background.
Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Xun and Lin Rui were surrounded by several guests exchanging pleasantries and had no time to pay attention to anything else, Lu Jin seized the opportunity.
He quietly took a step closer to Shen Yuepo, lowered his voice, and wore a look of embarrassment and apology on his face:
"Master Shen, I'm so sorry. My cousin is... short-sighted and a bit of a snob. He probably doesn't quite believe you're really capable because you're young. Please don't take his slights to heart. I'll definitely give him a good talking to later!"
Shen Yuepo's gaze swept over the laughing and chatting guests in the banquet hall, and lingered for a moment on Lin Rui, who was moving freely among the crowd.
Hearing Lu Jin's words, she simply looked away and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Whether you believe me or not is none of my concern."
Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she really didn't care.
Then, remembering his business, he nervously moved even closer, lowering his voice and speaking with a hint of slyness:
"Um... Master, is there really something evil in this house?"
He subconsciously rubbed his arms, as if he felt a chill.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuepo's cold gaze turned back to Lin Xun and Lin Rui.
How can it not be considered dirty?
She tilted her head slightly to look at Lu Jin, a hint of mockery playing on her lips. "Indeed."
Lu Jin: "!!!"
"Hiss." Lu Jin gasped, her face turning pale.
He almost instinctively moved closer to Shen Yuepo, his voice trembling slightly:
"Master... Master, please don't scare me! I have a weak constitution! In this situation, should I stay close to you for safety?"
Looking at Lu Jin's clingy demeanor, Shen Yuepo's gaze shifted slightly, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and she spoke:
"A talisman that can ward off ordinary ghosts and evil spirits. Do you want one?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"
Upon hearing that there was a life-saving talisman, Lu Jin's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, afraid that Shen Yuepo would change his mind.
"Master, how many do you have? I'll take them all! How much per piece? Name your price!"
Looking at Lu Jin's foolish appearance, who regarded money as dirt and only sought peace, Shen Yuepo raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly and announced a number: "Five thousand, one."
"Five thousand? Great! Five bills, please!" Lu Jin didn't hesitate and immediately took out his phone. "Master, I'll transfer twenty-five thousand to you right away!"
As he operated his phone, he muttered, "One for my parents, one for my sister, and I'll keep two for myself, just in case!"
Shen Yuepo looked at the transfer notification that popped up on her phone screen, and then at Lu Jin's expression of "buying is making a profit," and finally couldn't help but smile.
Her smile, like the first melting of snow, instantly brightened her beautiful face, causing Xiao Yizhou, who was secretly watching her from the side, to be slightly taken aback.
"Mr. Lu is very straightforward." Shen Yuepo put away his phone in a good mood and said a few more words, which was rare for him. "If you need anything in the future, contact me again and I'll give you a discount."
"Thank you so much, Master! You are truly my benefactor!" After receiving the peace charm, Lu Jin felt much more confident and straightened her back.
Just then, Lin Rui, holding a wine glass and with a smile on his face, approached Shen Yuepo and Lu Jin.
His gaze finally settled on Shen Yuepo's face, and he spoke gently:
"Master Shen, Ah Jin, what interesting topics are you talking about?"
