From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 623: 329 Young Master (Second Update)_2

Qu Feitai’s mouth twitched: “Shut up.”

Recently, I don’t know if he’s found a new boyfriend, but he’s become increasingly effeminate.

“Xiao Fei, why did you come to Jiangzhou without cause? I had your fortune told, the fortuneteller said water restrains you. Jiangzhou is a peninsula, full of water everywhere. This place contradicts your fortune. No good ever comes from your visits here. Once you are healed, we should hurry back to Jingzhou.”

Huang Chao started to ramble on.

Upon hearing about the fortune telling, Qu Feitai’s face turned stern subconsciously, “Stop dragging the feudal superstition, children, do not talk of matters about strange powers and gods.”

“Shh, mind your words.” Huang Chao glanced around, and mysteriously pulled out a tightly wrapped yellow cloth from his pocket. He opened the cloth to reveal a piece of red string inside.

Huang Chao tied the red string to Qu Feitai’s wrist, “This is a safety string I wished for at Daxiangguo Temple, it’s consecrated, very spiritual. It’s limited edition, many people fought for it. I had to pull all the strings to get it. It will ward off evil and keep you safe. The effect is powerful. Don’t ever untie it. Jiangzhou contradicts you, only when this safety string is on will I be at ease.”

Qu Feitai looked at the hideous string and reached out to tug it off, but it would not come off.

Huang Chao smirked, “This is a Arhat knot, a permanent knot. You can’t untie it.”

Qu Feitai said: “Find me a pair of scissors.”

“Xiao Fei, this is absolutely wrong. You should just wear it. In winter, you wear thick sleeves that can cover it. People won’t see it. If you wear it, it will ease my anxiety, otherwise, I’ll have to stick with you 24/7.”

Qu Feitai was speechless. He pulled down the sleeve of his patient gown to cover the red string on his wrist.

When Ming Jing left the hospital, moonlight had risen to the treetop.

The stars were sparse, clouds covered the tail of the moon, and the sky was enshrouded with dusky clouds. Tomorrow might not be a good day.

The two people were strolling slowly along the road.

“Ming Jing, what do you think our elder sister is doing now?”

“Your elder sister will come and see you on New Year’s Day.”

“Really?” Ming Chen was so excited that he was about to jump up.

It’s been a long time since they last saw their elder sister, “Let’s go home quickly, I want to tell Ming Ti and Xiao Yao this good news.”

Ming Chen started counting on his fingers: “Ah ya ya, it’s still 18 days before New Year’s Day, why does time pass so slowly.”

Ming Jing looked sideways at the vivacious young girl next to her, and her lips curved slightly.

“It will soon be here.”

Nightfall came quietly. When the dark clouds covered the last threads of moonlight, the entire land plunged into darkness.

Ye Shuang’s expression turned icy, “Where is Shou Chang?”

In the narrow alley, the shadow of Shou Chang was nowhere to be seen.

A black shadow vaulted over the wall into a deserted courtyard.

From a distance came the faint sound of a dog barking. The scattered light from somebody’s house illuminated a piece of land underfoot.

It also illuminated the eyes of the young man who leapt off the wall.

“Xi Yu?” Shou Chang scrambled up from the ground, “You’re too brave. Ran Tengxiao’s men were following me. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by them?”

“Just a bunch of idiots.” The low voice of the youth was still defiant.

Shou Chang sighed, “The deadline of three months is approaching swiftly. If I can’t find the mother and daughter, he will never let A Shuo and me off the hook. Xi Yu, please help your uncle. You must know where the mother and daughter are.”

Shou Chang knelt down with a “plop”, “In the past, I was the one who failed your father. I know I was wrong. I am willing to risk my life to make amends. But A Shuo is innocent. He is also your younger brother. You can’t just stand by and watch him die.”

“Your life, how much is it worth, compared to the master’s life?”

The young man’s voice of contempt rang out. In the quiet courtyard, the silence was deafening.

——

The Master ——

Ye Jian’s heart jumped, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ran Tengxiao’s face.

Fortunately, Master Xiao was farsighted and had placed a listening device on Shou Chang. Just now, when Ye Shuang called, Shou Chang disappeared all of a sudden.

He immediately sensed something wrong, opened the listening device, and sure enough, he caught a big fish.

Master Xiao trusted Xi Yu so much, never expected he would have ulterior motives.

On the other end, all was quiet. The study was also suffocatingly silent.

The man was sitting behind the desk, his face hidden in the shadows, his emotions indistinguishable.

After a long silence, Shou Chang’s terrified trembling voice rang out, “Master?”

“Without Master Wen, there would be no Qinglong Association today. Although he is dead, his spirit lives on. His daughter, of course, is the master of the Qinglong Association.”
