Chi Shuyan has been watching from the side for a long time and was well aware that Qi Hao coveted that talisman which Lu Chengfu had. This kid had asked her about it a lot these days.
She had explained that this talisman was called the Guiding Lightning Talisman and was a high-grade talisman that was extremely difficult to draw. So, she had only ever drawn one Guiding Lightning Talisman. She didn’t expect this kid, Lu Chengfu, to be so lucky. He only had one talisman, and it was the Guiding Lightning Talisman.
The Guiding Lightning Talisman was different from other Lightning Talismans that exorcised evil. It attracted lightning from the sky, so was a real threat to evil spirits. Heavenly lightning could exorcise all evil spirits, and they couldn’t hide. It was a completely different concept from an Exorcism Talisman, and miles ahead of what the Exorcism Talisman could do.
It was probably because of this that the kid had been able to leisurely eat chicken drumsticks back then.
Of course, she also told the boys that the Guiding Lightning Talisman was one reason why that evil spirit had avoided Lu Chengfu. Another reason was probably that it wanted to kill Qi Hao and a few others first before getting rid of Lu Chengfu, who would have been even harder to deal with. Moreover, this Guiding Lightning Talisman could only be used three times. Qi Hao had used his twice, so there was only one chance left.
Thus, this Guiding Lightning Talisman still had its shortcomings and might not be as invincible as they thought.
But no matter how she explained, she clearly underestimated how attached Qi Hao, Wang Xuewen, and even Jian Chongying, were to this talisman. Seeing that they couldn’t get the talisman from her, these brats focused even more on Lu Chengfu, and he heard no end of bids from them in the last few days.
But Lu Chengfu wasn’t half-bad; not only was he unmoved, he became even more vigilant in guarding that talisman.
Qi Hao was still obsessed with the talisman even after Lu Chengfu rejected him every time. This kid even used the pocket money he had been saving since childhood to tempt Lu Chengfu. While Chi Shuyan was moved, that kid, Lu Chengfu, didn’t waver in the slightest.
She could only admire the boys’ determination.
Qi Zhenbai was very dissatisfied when he saw how the brats drew his woman’s attention again and again, so when he turned sullen, Qi Hao and the other brats automatically ran far away to shout bids at Lu Chengfu.
Chi Shuyan looked at the time, and worried that these boys would miss the boarding time, she reminded them, “Don’t run too far, we’re boarding the plane soon!”
Qi Hao and the others answered very simply and obediently, “Sister-in-law, we understand!”
While Chi Shuyan was looking at the time, Zhu Bocheng secretly asked his friend in a low voice, “Zhenbai, have you really caught hold of Sister Shuyan now? But why do I feel like the atmosphere between the two of you has been especially strange lately?”
Shouldn’t the atmosphere between a man and a woman who had just fallen in love be especially lovey-dovey? Why did it seem like the two hadn’t changed much in the past few days?
Sister Shuyan wasn’t particularly clingy to Zhenbai, nor did she blush or her heart race when she saw him. Instead, she ignored him most of the time.
He didn’t understand, he really didn’t understand. Zhu Bocheng secretly wondered if he was behind in the times. He gritted his teeth and prepared to go back to the capital and have a good chat about the couple’s love life.
Before Zhu Bocheng could start to gossip, it was time to board the plane. Seeing that the boys didn’t forget the time and had come back to board obediently, Zhu Bocheng heaved a sigh of relief.
After boarding the plane, Zhu Bocheng still wanted to pry some gossip out of his best friend, but who would have thought that this rascal, Zhenbai, would demonstrate the words “gals before pals” to the fullest extent. He remained stuck to Sister Shuyan on the plane and completely ignored their calls.
Even Qi Hao and the others who wanted to talk to Chi Shuyan didn’t dare cut in halfway.
When they returned to the capital and parted ways, Qi Hao finally couldn’t help but say, “Sister-in-law, if you draw any talismans in the future, let me know immediately!”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
When they finally parted ways, Chi Shuyan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. It was just that a certain man on the plane had been too enthusiastic. She just wanted to go home and have a good rest now.
Chi Shuyan was about to use the excuse of buying a ticket to leave, when slender fingers grabbed her hand and a voice was directed to the others: “All of you go back first. If there’s something you want to say, talk later!”
Qi Zhenbai then said to Chi Shuyan, “I’ll send you back!”
