Bian Guanshi looked at the two silent people and shook his head. “It’s difficult to find such a mysterious person. So I advise you not to waste your efforts. It’s a way to show filial piety by accompanying Master Xu before she dies.”
Hearing his words, a strange look flashed across Su Ji’s eyes. She looked at Pei Huai, and their eyes met.
No one spoke, but they seemed to understand each other’s intentions.
Su Ji was not the only one who had noticed some details. As his father, Pei Huai had noticed them even earlier.
Bian Guanshi sat down and was about to eat something, but before his b.u.t.t could touch the chair, he heard Pei Huai say, “if we find the medium, what other conditions do we need?”
Bian Guanshi was stunned and looked at them. “What do you mean??”
“Please answer his question.”
She looked down at him. Bian Guanshi was stunned. He was shocked and quickly answered the question obediently.
Pei Huai looked at him.
It had to be said that Bian Guanshi was indeed more cooperative this time when his wife came.
Compared to the last time he came with Bian Tong.
After listening to Bian Guanshi, the couple looked at each other.
In short, the termination of the deal was similar to when he summoned Su Ji back. It also required a ritual.
Fortunately, other than the medium used as a primer, it was not particularly difficult to gather the other treasures.
There were a few items that could be bought easily.
He just needed time.
Pei Huai:
Fortunately, he was rich.
Su Ji glanced at his husband..
Fortunately, her husband was rich.
“If we gather all of them,” Pei Huai asked Bian Guanshi, “can you host the ceremony?”
Last time, Bian Tong was in charge, but now, Bian Tong was no longer around.
Bian Guanshi only wanted to sell his products and not do after-sales work. How easy would that be?
However, when he thought about the three days of non-human life that he had just experienced…
“Yes.” He changed the topic again. “But let me say this first. Even if you spend a sky-high price to gather all the treasures, as long as there is no medium, everything will be in vain. Once the treasures in our shop are sold, there will be no returns.”
He was a profiteer.
Su Ji and Pei Huai had no objections.
As long as they could save Xu Mingzhi, nothing else mattered.
The days pa.s.sed quickly.
Pei Huai sent out his reliable subordinates and spread out an inescapable net to search for the treasures needed for the ritual all over the world.
The border abyss, the extremely cold land, the peak of the canyon…
No matter how bad the conditions were, as long as there were clues about that treasure, they would soon be able to see the helicopter with the Pei family’s logo.
Su Ji stayed at home and observed her daughter.
No one could be sure if their guess was correct. Even Bian Guanshi had only heard about it and had never seen the reincarnation of Night’s spiritual power.
Therefore, it was unknown whether the ritual would be completed in the end.
However, it was good that there was hope. Before that, Su Ji would not let her imagination run wild. The most important thing was to gather the treasures in the shortest time possible.
Xu Mingzhi had been living in the Pei family’s old mansion since then. She hated to trouble her in-laws the most, but her body was getting weaker by the day. A few days after Su Ji returned, she did not even have the strength to drive herself.
Su Ji did not say anything after taking her pulse, and Pei Huai’s reaction was much calmer than Xu Mingzhi had imagined. She guessed that the two of them knew something and that they would think of a way to save her, even though she had long known that their efforts would be in vain.
However, knowing that she did not have much time left, Xu Mingzhi did not want to waste any more time. Wei Wei was keeping an eye on the company’s matters. Other than a few video conferences, nothing major had happened. Xu Mingzhi simply relaxed and lived a leisurely life in the Pei family. Every day, she held her grandson in her left hand and her granddaughter in her right hand. Her daughter and son-in-law were filial and sensible.
No matter what, it was much more comfortable than the few days before his life ended in his previous life.
Everyone in the Pei family could tell that Madam Xu did not look well, but Pei Huai had reminded them, so no one dared to say anything. However, Pei Qingshen had secretly asked him a few times, “are you sure you don’t want to hire someone to take a look at your mother-in-law?”
Pei Huai told him not to meddle.
Su Ji did not let Su Cunyi come.
It would save her the trouble of seeing her mother’s current state, and he would not be of any substantial help.
Su Cunyi found it strange, especially after what his daughter said. He tried all kinds of ways to find out about Xu Mingzhi’s recent situation, but Pei Huai sealed the news, so he could not find anything out.
