Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Yang Kun wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded at that moment. Director Li also turned pale with fright when he saw this scene with his own eyes. However, he wasn’t as shocked as Yang Kun. After all, Director Li had experienced Master Chi’s prowess in catching ghosts.

Although it was scary to run into evil, with Master Chi around, Director Li was a lot more rea.s.sured and could keep his cool.

While the two men remained silent, Chi Shuyan pressed Ruan Shenglin’s philtrum again. Not long after, he woke up, and his expression was dazed. It took him a long while to recognize his manager, and he asked, “Brother Kun, what happened to me?” Then, he looked at Chi Shuyan and asked in confusion, “Who is she?”

Yang Kun was unable to reply. He was still staring blankly at the young lady in front of him. He obviously hadn’t expected her to really be able to wake Shenglin up, and to be so capable.

Yang Kun was stupefied, so when Ruan Shenglin asked the question, he completely forgot to reply. He didn’t even hear what Shenglin said, and just stared blankly at Director Li and the young lady in front of him.

It was only when Ruan Shenglin repeated the question that Yang Kun’s head cleared a little.

When he came back to his senses, his gaze subconsciously fell on the young lady in front of him again. Speaking of which, if he hadn’t seen that scene with his own eyes, Yang Kun would never have believed in superst.i.tions, even if he were beaten to death. When he recalled how capable the young lady in front of him was, as well as that stupefying scene earlier, he couldn’t help but wonder if she really was a Master.

Yang Kun was shocked and scared, but also glad that he hadn’t offended her too badly earlier, or voiced his harsh words that if there really were ghosts, she could use his head as a soccer ball. Otherwise, he probably really wouldn’t be able to redeem himself.

Yang Kun was so shocked that he lost his composure and felt embarra.s.sed. Thinking of that mournful scream just now, he became even more terrified. In contrast to his earlier doubts, he now believed 70 to 80% of what the young lady in front of him had said.

At the thought that Shenglin really had run into evil and that it wasn’t a drug addiction, Yang Kun’s hair stood on end when he recalled the strange scene earlier. Cold sweat broke out on his back and forehead.

He didn’t know if he would rather that Shenglin was addicted to drugs or had run into evil. The latter simply subverted his imagination. It was too scary!

The more Yang Kun thought about it, the more he felt that Shenglin might really be possessed. Yang Kun’s expression immediately turned fearful, and he hurriedly begged for mercy and corrected himself. His att.i.tude changed drastically and he said respectfully to Chi Shuyan, “Master, I was blind and didn’t know better. I beg you to help Shenglin. We can negotiate the price! Master, I beg you, help me! I was at fault earlier.”

Yang Kun was afraid that he might have terribly offended this Master in front of him and that she would turn him down. He immediately begged Director Li, “Director Li, I beg you. It was my fault that I didn’t believe the Master earlier. I beg you, on account of our friends.h.i.+p, you must help me talk to the Master and beg for mercy!”

Yang Kun probably felt too guilty and terrified, and even said that he hoped to cooperate with Director Li on his next film.

Yang Kun’s promise made Director Li laugh happily, and he almost agreed on the spot, but he then remembered Master Chi. After all, Master Chi didn’t work for him. If she didn’t agree, Director Li really didn’t dare agree on her behalf.

He couldn’t agree on her behalf, but he could help to ask for a favor.

Speaking of which, although Director Li was famous, that was in the past. At the moment, he was considered to be just past his prime. Some people still did favors for him out of respect, such as this Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin, which was very rare. In contrast, others. .h.i.t Director Li when he was down – this said a lot about Film Emperor Ruan’s character.

Given how the other party had given Director Li so much face this time, how could he not help him out?

Director Li immediately pleaded with Chi Shuyan in a low voice.

Chi Shuyan looked calm, but seeing that Yang Kun believed her and had changed his att.i.tude, she relaxed. She still wanted this business, so she pretended to be ‘reserved’ before she agreed.

Of course, if the other party had continued to nag her endlessly like before, she wouldn’t continue to wrong herself, no matter how many reasons the other party gave.

When Chi Shuyan agreed, Yang Kun and Director Li were immediately happy, especially Yang Kun, who was overjoyed.

Ruan Shenglin, who had been awake the whole time, was silent for a long while before he suddenly recognized the beautiful girl in front of him as the one who had hit on him before. His face changed, and after he recovered, he got up to leave.

How could Yang Kun let Shenglin leave before this matter was resolved? Seeing that Shenglin didn’t have a good enough att.i.tude toward the Master in front of him, he was afraid that Shenglin would also offend her, so he hurriedly explained, “Shenglin, this is a Master. Her surname is…”

Yang Kun paused. His attention had been on Ruan Shenglin earlier, and he hadn’t paid attention to this young lady at all. He wasn’t sure what this Master’s surname was, and he looked very embarra.s.sed for one moment, but Director Li quickly smoothed things over and chimed in, “Master Chi!”

“Right, right… Master Chi. Shenglin, this is Master Chi. Hurry, hurry and get Master Chi to help exorcize the evil!”

Ruan Shenglin: …

If Director Li wasn’t here, Ruan Shenglin would have suspected that this Brother Kun in front of him wasn’t his manager. He even said that Ruan Shenglin had run into a ghost, and that this young girl in front of him was a Master? Even if they really wanted to con him, they should find someone who was older and looked more like a Daoist priest or Master, alright?

Ruan Shenglin was also a firm materialist and didn’t believe in superst.i.tions at all. At that moment, he would rather believe that this young lady in front of him had other motives and had made so many things up to con his manager. As for why Brother Kun trusted her so much, Ruan Shenglin didn’t think much of it for a moment, and made up his mind to avoid unnecessary complications.

He immediately got up and said a few words to Director Li before he prepared to take his manager away. In order to avoid becoming entangled with the young lady, Ruan Shenglin didn’t say a word to Chi Shuyan and only coldly said that he didn’t need some evil spirit to be exorcized.

Seeing how firm the man in front of her was, Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry to persuade him – she didn’t have that sort of free time. When all was said and done, a person’s life was their own. Whether they could live or not depended on their luck. She still cared about human life, however, so before she said goodbye to Director Li, she said that if Film Emperor Ruan needed anything, he could look for her!

This made Yang Kun believe that this young lady might really be an expert. Seeing that she was about to leave, he panicked and hurriedly said to Ruan Shenglin, “Shenglin, this… this really is a Master! You really were possessed!”
