Chapter 92: Cornered and Desperate Qian Hongxin

Chi Shuyan followed Su Yunxin up to the second floor and bent down to carefully study Yang Feiyu, who was lying unconscious and pale in bed.

Everyone held their breaths and stared curiously at Chi Shuyan. Seeing that she didn’t make a move for a long while and instead seemed to be thinking about something, they were puzzled.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yunxin asked.

“Your son is under the Soul Separation Curse. This kind of curse requires his birth characters and the hair from his body for it to be implemented. It won’t be obvious in the short term, and he might even look well.” Chi Shuyan’s face turned slightly cold, and she narrowed her star-like eyes. “But if a person is under this curse for a long time and can’t take being frightened to begin with, it’s easy for them to see dirty things. Going to a haunted house, bungee-jumping, and other thrill-seeking activities is just courting death.”

When Su Yunxin heard Chi Shuyan’s words, she was horrified. If what this young lady said was true, then birth characters and personal effects could only be obtained by those who were extremely close to the person in question, which would give anyone a hold over them.

Moreover, this Soul Separation Curse had been set up who knew when, and even the cause couldn’t be found.

“How absurd! A load of nonsense and alarmist talk! What curse, what lost soul? Do you think this is still the feudalistic era? Are you going to play at being a G.o.d now?” Qian Hongxin’s eyes were filled with contempt and dissatisfaction, and he advised Professor Yang Wenbin on the side earnestly, “Teacher, if you really let her mess around and word of this spreads, what will the students of our A University think of you? Besides, the university extols science and casts off feudalistic rubbish; what will the university think of you?”

“Qian Hongxin, is reputation or my son more important?” Su Yunxin had sunk into thought for a moment, and was extremely unhappy when she heard Qian Hongxin’s words.

In the face of Qian Hongxin’s repeated obstructions, she instead became more and more convinced that there was no harm in giving it a try. Even if she was uncertain in her heart, she was unwilling to let go of a glimmer of hope. Thus, she stared at him unkindly and said coldly, “No one is forcing you to believe. If you’re really uncomfortable being here, then please leave first.”

Qian Hongxin was slightly stunned and his face quickly flushed red with extreme embarra.s.sment. He really didn’t expect Su Yunxin to be so blunt in front of everyone and not leave him any face at all. He was somewhat unresigned. “Ma’am, this method isn’t reliable at all…”

“Shut up!” Su Yunxin glared at Qian Hongxin. She knew that Yang Wenbin was a man of face and reputation. He was already feeling reluctant over this matter; if Qian Hongxin said any more, Yang Wenbin might not agree to try this method.

Su Yunxin already had some thoughts in her heart. She had already begun to suspect that Qian Hongxin and Liu Xinfang were working together to play them for fools. Now that Qian Hongxin repeatedly blocked her, even if the outcome wasn’t the conspiracy theory she was thinking of, her impression of Qian Hongxin had completely plummeted.

Chi Shuyan glanced at Su Yunxin, whose complexion didn’t look too good, and said, “Madam, I have two solutions for you to choose from now. The first is to summon the soul, then lift the curse. The second is to summon the soul first, then use magic to make the curse on your son rebound on the culprit. Of course, the second method is a bit more expensive than the first.”

“Of course I choose the second option.” Su Yunxin also wanted to know who was the heartless person who harmed her son.

Chi Shuyan curled her lip. She obviously had no doubt which option Su Yunxin would choose.

Chi Shuyan stretched out a hand and the Yin Ghost Gonfalon appeared. It started to suck up all the excess yin energy that had gathered on Yang Feiyu.

Who knew how she did it, but she took a thin red strip of backflow incense out of nowhere and rubbed it lightly between her index and middle fingers. The red strip of backflow incense was suddenly set alight without the use of fire.

Chi Shuyan blew on the flames, and the backflow incense immediately let out white smoke. Exerting strength in her fingertips, she threw out the burning backflow incense and it firmly pierced Yang Feiyu’s headboard.

This scene amazed everyone. Su Zhiqing stared every now and then at the Yin Ghost Gonfalon which had appeared out of nowhere and flown up into the air, then rubbed her eyes every now and then as she looked at the backflow incense in the headboard that was burning without fire. Her worldview was refreshed again and again.

“Son, I’m not seeing things, right?” Su Zhiqing almost wondered if she was at an international large-scale magic show. Furthermore, it was broad daylight. There wasn’t even a stage to conceal the effects, let alone any props. Su Zhiqing was amazed and nudged the calm Yang Hongsheng with her elbow.

“Mom, you’re not seeing things.” Yang Hongsheng was a bit better off than the others, who were all astonished. After all, he had seen Chi Shuyan catch ghosts last time. She was just summoning a soul this time, but it was just as impressive. He stared unblinkingly throughout the whole process, and admired Chi Shuyan more and more in his heart. This was a true Master; one could tell as soon as she made a move.

Su Yunxin and Yang Wenbin were stunned when they saw the unscientific scene in front of them. Qian Hongxin and Liu Xinfang also stared with wide eyes, but compared with Yang Wenbin and his wife’s antic.i.p.ation and delight, the two of them were filled with panic. Liu Xinfang’s psychological state was poor, and she kept looking at Qian Hongxin. Fed up with Liu Xinfang’s gaze, Qian Hongxin’s fingers in his sleeves had turned white and his legs trembled slightly. His back was covered in cold sweat from fear, and only by gritting his teeth could he remain standing. He felt torment and regret in his heart, and could only hope that this person had half-baked skills.

He was filled with regret. From the moment he accidentally overheard Chi Shuyan’s words at the restaurant to meeting her today, he should have been on full alert and stopped her at all costs.

Staring intently at the inverted incense and seeing that Yang Feiyu still didn’t move on the bed after a long while, Su Yunxin and her husband were somewhat disappointed.

But on the next exhale, Yang Feiyu’s fingers suddenly moved, when he had been lying silent and motionless. His body seized up and he even let out a blood-curdling scream!

Su Yunxin and the others were given a fright when they saw Yang Feiyu like this, but they didn’t dare go forward for fear of messing things up, and could only look pleadingly at Chi Shuyan.

“Ah…” Yang Feiyu screamed louder and louder, and his body turned this way and that like he was being tortured in a fire. The Su couple had to look away.

“What are you doing to Feiyu? Stop it, he’s in pain!” Just when everyone couldn’t help looking away, Qian Hongxin seized the opportunity to lunge forward like a cornered dog to knock Chi Shuyan aside.
