The real heiress is a fortune teller; her divinations are worth a fortune, and the whole internet is

"Aren't you supposed to be smart? Guess."

"I suspect it's because of your destiny," Chang Xi said. "Your birth chart is extremely Yin, making it easy for you to absorb resentment from your surroundings and turn it for your own use. Did you die a tragic death in your previous life?"

"Yes, he died a horrible death," He Yin repeated, her eyes filled with a melancholy.

Lu Wenli was only one or two meters above the ground.

"I think," Chang Xi suddenly laughed, "that you've miscalculated."

He Yin lowered her eyes.

Chang Xi had already let go of the railing and was falling.

Lu Wenli has landed.

She spun around in the air a few times before landing steadily.

Lu Wenli's butt hurt from the fall. "Why am I such a mess when I get off, while you're so handsome?"

"Because you're bad at it," Chang Xi said, touching his hair, retracting his rope, and picking up the iron umbrella that had fallen to the side.

He Yin looked down at them with a gloomy face.

"You think you've won?" He Yin said grimly, "Didn't you notice you're short-handed?"

"Who's missing?"

"Xu Shenglong and Chen Wenjing, who played the female ghost, have disappeared," Hao Ren said in a panic.

A heavy object fell from the library.

boom!

Blood clots splattered.

"ah--"

【ah--】

A person fell!

I feel like throwing up!

Me too, yue~

Several people collapsed to the ground, vomiting incessantly.

Lu Wenli tried to hold back, but couldn't, and started vomiting incoherently.

Chang Xi covered his nose and took two steps forward, glancing at the mangled corpse. "It was a female pilgrim."

She still couldn't escape.

Chang Xi looked up, and He Yin's resentment seemed to intensify.

"Director!" Chen Wenjing rushed back.

Xu Shenglong followed slowly behind.

"You guys weren't taken away by ghosts," Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright."

Chen Wenjing hid behind her colleagues, seemingly afraid to meet Xu Shenglong's gaze.

Lu Wenli tugged at Chang Xi's sleeve and lowered his voice, "Did you see that? On Xu Shenglong's shoulder."

She saw it: a little girl was sitting on Xu Shenglong's shoulder, pressing his head down tightly, her eyes full of disgust.

What did Xu Shenglong do to make this child hate him so much?

Chang Xi didn't eat anything from the temple, as it had left a bad impression. Instead, she rummaged through her suitcase and pulled out a few bags of snacks, then sat on a rocking chair by the door and swayed back and forth.

Xu Shenglong was starving and in a bad mood. Moreover, he felt particularly tired today, with sore and weak shoulders, which made him even more irritable.

"Changxi, it's getting dark soon, think of something," Xu Shenglong instructed.

"You're really something. What does your life or death have to do with me?" Chang Xi didn't even bother to give him a glance. "Did I ever say I would protect you?"

Xu Shenglong declared, "You just want money, right? Lu Wenli can hire you, so can I. I'll give you 500,000 yuan. Now you figure out a way to get me out of here."

"I find your money dirty," Chang Xi said, biting into a potato chip. "The sun is about to set."

Chang Xi is truly ungrateful; even Brother Xu begged her, and she still acts all high and mighty.

[Is that a request? I don't see it that way.]

[He exudes an air of condescension and arrogance; anyone who didn't know better would think Chang Xi was his employee.]

[Who is our Brother Xu? He's a top actor; it's already a miracle he'd even talk to her.]

【nerve.】

"It's almost time for the ghost to make our appointment," Tian Yu said, terrified.

"Before that," Lu Wenli changed the subject, looking at Xu Shenglong, "why did that child on your shoulder always follow you?"

"What did you say?" Xu Shenglong froze.

"Can't you see her?" Lu Wenli scratched his head. "She's just a little girl with pigtails, about five or six years old."

The crowd shook their heads, their eyes filled with fear, and silently moved away from Xu Shenglong.

Lu Wenli patted Chang Xi and asked, "Why is this happening?"

"There are two possibilities for why a ghost doesn't reveal itself: either it's too weak to support its manifestation, or it's too strong to conceal its form."

Lu Wenli guessed, "It's a child, probably the former."

"Chang Xi, quickly bring her down!" Xu Shenglong clenched his fists.

"Should we let her come down first?" Lu Wenli asked Chang Xi for her opinion.

Chang Xi was busy eating. "Why don't you just talk to her yourself? You can see her anyway, it's just a matter of saying a few words."

Lu Wenli forced a smile and waved, "Hi, little sister, what's your name?"

The little devil tilted his head. "You can see me?"

"My eyes are like this, I can see you," Lu Wenli explained.

[How eerie, it's like talking to thin air.]

Does Xu Shenglong really have a child on his shoulder?

"My name is Xixi, my aunts say it's the 'hope' in 'hope'." The little girl was very easy to talk to and answered obediently.

Lu Wenli translated for everyone, "She said her name is Xixi, the 'hope' in 'hope,' and it was a name given to her by her aunts."

"Auntie, do you mean other female ghosts?" Xu Man asked curiously.

"That's probably it," Lu Wenli asked again, "Xixi, why were you riding on his head?"

"He's a bad person, I hate him!"

Lu Wenli scrutinized Xu Shenglong. "What did you do? Xixi said you're a bad person."

Xu Shenglong was furious. He slapped his hair and yelled, "I didn't do anything! Don't come looking for me if she's going crazy! Get out of here right now!"

Xi Xi wouldn't budge, and instead pounded his head even harder, grabbing his hair.

Everyone just watched as Xu Shenglong stood up on the spot with his two tufts of hair.

"He's talking nonsense! He clearly did bad things. He bullied that older sister," Xixi pointed a finger at Chen Wenjing.

Lu Wenli's expression was serious. "Xu Shenglong, Xixi said you bullied Chen Wenjing. Is that true?"

Xu Shenglong's eyes flashed, but he didn't react much. "Of course not. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Wenjing. I just asked her to take me to the toilet. I don't know where the toilet is here."

Chen Wenjing glanced at Xu Shenglong and said softly, "Yes, Brother Xu didn't."

[I knew our Brother Xu wouldn't bully anyone! That little devil must be talking nonsense!]

But judging from Chen Wenjing's eyes, it didn't seem like she didn't want to say it; it seemed more like she was afraid to.

Stop stirring up trouble. Did Chang Xi hire an online army?

[Just stating the facts, does that make me a paid troll?]

Xixi got even angrier. "I saw it all! He touched that girl's butt! My aunties said that if a girl doesn't want to be touched, it's bullying!"

"Xixi said you touched Chen Wenjing's butt," Lu Wenli repeated, "Xu Shenglong, tell the truth!"

"I don't!"

Chang Xi rested her chin on her hand and asked Chen Wenjing, "What are you afraid of? Even a five-year-old like Xixi knows that intimate behavior against a girl's will is bullying, and you're still going to swallow your anger?"

"I, I," Chen Wenjing didn't think anyone would believe her, as Xu Shenglong had always had a good reputation.

"Xu Shenglong, he took advantage of me!" Chen Wenjing gritted her teeth and said it all. "He asked me to take him to the toilet, and there he touched my breasts and my butt."

I was terrified. I didn't dare tell anyone; no one would believe me. I'd only just started working a summer job, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to survive in this industry afterward.
