Everyone turned their heads instinctively upon hearing the voice, spotting a clean and handsome white-robed youth standing at the doorway, hand behind back, looking at them.
Dressed in a white robe with an elegant and refined demeanor, the robe’s collar embroidered with light golden patterns, like an immortal descending to the earthly realm.
Even more formally dressed than when Su Li first saw her at Cloud Mist Mountain.
Su Li’s eyes lit up, just about to call her senior sister when Ji Xuewei calmly said, "Senior brother, I’ve come to see what’s going on here."
Su Li remembered that Xu Xing said Ji Xuewei was eccentric—a perfectly fine woman who preferred disguising as a man, playing the role of a graceful youth.
Master Chen glanced at Ji Xuewei, vaguely feeling as if he’d seen this youth before, but couldn’t place where.
However, considering the youth’s appearance seemed in his early twenties, how advanced could his magic skills possibly be?
Master Chen swung his long robe angrily, shouting, "Youngster, you dress like one of us? Then you should know the rules of our trade: interrupting someone’s ritual is akin to declaring war!"
Master Chen and Ji Xuewei’s eyes locked, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and confrontational.
Su Li thought of Ji Xuewei’s identity and grinned broadly. Now this Master Chen really hit a brick wall!
Suppressing her amusement, Su Li said, "You gave me a faulty talisman and don’t allow me to question it?"
Master Chen became even angrier. Having swindled many in the entertainment industry over the years, even those who knew they were being duped had to accept it. Who dared to confront him openly? Did they still want to have a future in the industry?
Master Chen, inflamed with anger, shouted, "There’s nothing wrong with my talisman, and I don’t want to pester with ignorant people like you. Three days, three days for the payment of 9.99 million. Let’s see if Su Li can enjoy the New Year in peace!"
Now that the harsh words had been spoken, everyone was filled with turmoil.
They had really angered Master Chen!
Moreover, his words were a warning to Su Li that dealing with her was a piece of cake for him.
Zhou Yitian couldn’t hold back any longer and quickly walked over to whisper in Su Li’s ear, "Boss, maybe you should back down a bit. This Chen Ming, Master Chen in the entertainment industry, truly has skills, not just a swindler."
Master Chen was a legendary figure in the Hua Country’s entertainment industry, a near-godly existence.
Su Li smirked playfully, "Someone truly skilled?" Follow current novᴇls on ⓝovelFire.net
Su Li looked at Ji Xuewei.
Ji Xuewei nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Master Chen, and said, "Since you’re in the same trade, may I ask if you have prepared anything?"
Master Chen stiffened slightly, then sneered, "If I were to really perform the ritual, the price wouldn’t be 9.99 million, but over 20 million!"
Ji Xuewei laughed, pointing at the talisman on the wall and asked, "According to this master, Su Li’s 9.99 million was to buy your Dan Zhu Talisman for exorcism?"
Master Chen nodded, "Precisely."
At this moment, Li Jing interjected, "Though spending 9.99 million on a talisman seems a bit much, if one talisman can solve our studio’s problems, that’s Master Chen’s prowess. The money would be well spent."
Master Chen snorted softly, feeling quite pleased with himself.
No one in the entire Hua Country entertainment circle could surpass him! He was confident in this.
Ji Xuewei, with her white robe hands behind her back, sternly declared, "Is that so? If this talisman doesn’t resolve the studio’s issues, then you have insulted my junior sister. Today you must swallow this talisman!"
