Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An hour later, Chi Shuyan was almost done drawing talismans in her room. Most of the talismans she drew were high-grade level 4 Pure Yang Talismans, Guiding Lightning Talismans and other Exorcism Talismans. When it was almost 11pm, she tried looking for Qi Zhenbai with the Tracking Talisman again, but unfortunately, she still couldn’t find him.
Chi Shuyan could only give up on looking for the man for the time being. It was more important to see Brother Feng and the others off from the village first. The clock struck 11pm, and there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!”
It was indeed Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming standing at the door. The two of them were very nervous. As soon as they saw Master Chi, they hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, it’s been almost an hour. Shall we leave now?”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Where’s Brother Feng?”
!!
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming looked at each other and said, “Director Feng said he was going out for a walk and would be back later.”
Speak of the devil.
Soon, there was the sound of a door being pushed open outside. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming turned their heads and saw Director Feng come in with a disappointed expression. Chi Shuyan got up and walked into the living room. She took in Brother Feng’s expression and didn’t ask where he had gone. She first had Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming put their luggage in the car and get ready to go.
Xiao Shan immediately said, “Sister-in-law, Old Wu and I have already put our luggage in the trunk! All we need to do now is just get in!”
Seeing how prepared Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were, Chi Shuyan relaxed. Feng Yuanlin wanted to say something, but hesitated. However, he wasn’t someone who couldn’t differentiate between good and bad. He was worried about Zhenbai, but he knew how serious the matter was. It was impossible and irrational to make everyone else wait to be buried in the village with him over Zhenbai.
Feng Yuanlin immediately patted Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming on the shoulder and said to Shuyan, “Everyone, get in the car. Don’t waste time!”
Xiao Shan and Wu Hao were overjoyed and sighed with relief. “Yes, Director Feng!”
To be honest, they were really afraid that Director Feng would make a last-minute decision not to leave the village. They had no objections and were actually willing to wait for President Qi. However, at the thought that there would be a magnitude 9 or above earthquake in Dashan Village tomorrow, their legs turned to jelly. No, their legs were already weak now. They were scared.
Another thing was that they were afraid that they would all be buried in the village before they could wait for President Qi to come back. The losses outweighed the gains. Fortunately, Director Feng wasn’t an irrational man.
The car was right in front of their blue brick house. Wu Haoming got into the driver’s seat and said to Director Feng, Master Chi and Xiao Shan, “Director Feng, you and Sister-in-law sit in the backseat, and Old Xiao will be in the pa.s.senger seat.”
Xiao Shan immediately understood Wu Haoming’s meaning and said, “Okay, Old Wu, if you’re tired from driving later, let’s switch!” After saying that, he said to Feng Yuanlin, “Director Feng, I’ll sit in the pa.s.senger seat. You and Sister-in-law can sit in the backseat, which is not as rocky.”
Feng Yuanlin and Chi Shuyan were fine with it.
Chi Shuyan opened the car door and was about to get into the backseat, when she thought of something and suddenly asked Wu Haoming, “Where are Ruan Shenglin and the others?”
Only then did Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan remember Ruan Shenglin and the others. He had exchanged phone numbers with Film Emperor Ruan and Manager Yang previously. He thought that those two were probably still on set trying to persuade people to leave, and his head hurt for them. He hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll call them.”
Chi Shuyan nodded. She thought of something and said, “By the way, we still have one s.p.a.ce in our car here. Ask Ruan Shenglin if he’s okay to let his wife ride in our car.”
When Feng Yuanlin heard Shuyan’s words, he recalled the favor he owed Ruan Shenglin, and immediately echoed, “Shuyan is right. We still have a s.p.a.ce here. His wife is pregnant, so let her take our car.”
Wu Haoming was about to respond in agreement and call Film Emperor Ruan, when he saw a lot of vehicles suddenly rush over in the rearview mirror. There were at least a dozen of them, including a number of vans, and the last vehicle was a big truck.
Wu Haoming was alarmed. His eyes widened as he turned his head and called out to Director Feng and Master Chi. “Director Feng, Sister-in-law, look, what’s going on with all these cars?” After a pause, Wu Haoming thought of something and said in disbelief, “Wait, no way. Did Film Emperor Ruan and Manager Yang really trick everyone in the film crew? Are the two of them that powerful?”
Wu Haoming’s voice was too loud, and when he saw Director Feng’s cold gaze, he hurriedly shut up obediently.
Feng Yuanlin, Chi Shuyan and Xiao Shan’s attention was also drawn to the cars behind them. Chi Shuyan and Feng Yuanlin were still calm, but Xiao Shan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
It just so happened that Ruan Shenglin also wanted his wife to take Master Chi’s car. After all, being by Master Chi’s side meant more protection; nothing would be able to happen to his wife and the child in her stomach.
After discussing it with Brother Kun, Ruan Shenglin made up his mind to shamelessly pester Master Chi about Xu Tong getting into her car. At that moment, he hurriedly brought Xu Tong over, afraid that Master Chi and the others had already left. When he saw a familiar car parked outside the house, Ruan Shenglin heaved a sigh of relief. His heart, which had been in his throat, also dropped back down, and he brought his wife over.
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were about to greet Ruan Shenglin, when he hurriedly said to Master Chi anxiously, “Master Chi, my wife is pregnant. Can… can she take your car?”
Ruan Shenglin had never begged anyone ever since he became famous. Although he had made up his mind to be thick-skinned and beg Master Chi, he still had some shame. His face flushed red and he was very embarra.s.sed. He didn’t dare look straight at the person in the car.
Xu Tong was stupefied and didn’t know what Ruan Shenglin was thinking at all. When he opened his mouth, Xu Tong was even more stupefied. She was about to speak.
Ruan Shenglin didn’t receive a reply, and thought that Master Chi was rejecting his request. Ruan Shenglin was anxious. He gritted his teeth and was about to beg again.
Chi Shuyan opened the car door and motioned for Xu Tong to get in. “Get in!”
