Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1555 Running Into Her Ex-boyfriend Again

As soon as Chi Shuyan returned to the capital, she received a call from her teacher. After confirming that the Master had returned to the capital safely, the two exchanged pleasantries before hanging up.

After returning to the capital following her official business in S City, Chi Shuyan was about to relax for the day. Right after her call with her teacher, however, she received a call from a very agitated Qian Zhengde from the Jing Auction House, who wanted to talk to her about a spirit tea deal.

However, she had promised to cooperate with the Fan family over the spirit tea, so she didn’t say yes to Manager Qian.

Manager Qian was very anxious when he didn’t get an agreement from Miss Chi. If he had known that Miss Chi’s spirit tea was refined so well, and was even more effective and richer in spiritual energy than their Jing family’s century-old spirit tea, how could he have been willing to sell it at such a low price back then? It was better for the Jing family to absorb it themselves. Thinking this, Manager Qian’s heart hurt terribly.

In particular, when he thought of how Miss Shuyan’s spirit tea had been auctioned off at a low price back then, and how the spirit tea which Miss Chi had sent a few days ago had been bought out in less than a day, without a single bit left for their Jing family, Manager Qian wanted to clutch his chest as his heart hurt even more. He was filled with regret.

No wonder those dozen or so people kept asking about Miss Chi’s spirit tea.

If he hadn’t sensed something fishy about it, and found the spirit tea which Miss Chi had given to him before, he wouldn’t have known that Miss Chi’s talent in refining spirit tea wasn’t inferior to her talent in refining pills at all.

Only then did he realize that the auction house had really suffered a huge loss.

Manager Qian’s intestines turned green with regret. Not to mention him, even Young Master Jing’s intestines turned green with regret when he found out how much spiritual energy the spirit tea contained.

It was a pity that it was too late for regrets now. Who asked them not to take her spirit tea to heart back then?

Manager Qian still wanted to discuss a spirit tea deal, but unfortunately, Miss Chi’s tone was quite firm. Manager Qian couldn’t say anything else, so he could only hang up first. He also said that the spirit tea which Miss Chi had sent recently had been auctioned off and the money had been transferred to her account, so she could check it.

After Manager Qian hung up, Chi Shuyan immediately checked the amount which the Jing Auction House had sent to her. When she looked at it, Chi Shuyan was very surprised, mainly because it was more than before.

Thinking about the quality of her spirit tea, however, Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised or puzzled. As the saying went, quality goods needed no advertising.

Good things really had been happening one after another recently!

After her call with Manager Qian, she immediately received a call from Jing Hengran. Jing Hengran wasn’t as forthright as Manager Qian. He just said that it had been a while, and since she had returned to the capital, he wanted to treat her to a meal.

Chi Shuyan was a bit surprised. “How did you know that I’ve returned to the capital?”

Jing Hengran immediately said, “Look at WeChat.”

Chi Shuyan usually didn’t post on WeChat, but when she came back from S City this time, her teacher had personally sent her to the airport, so she specially sent a few selfies and images of her plane ticket back to the capital.

Anyone who saw her Moments would immediately know that she had returned to the capital. Chi Shuyan was quite glad that she hadn’t forgotten to block Counselor Zhang when she uploaded this post. Otherwise, with two identical Chi Shuyans, Counselor Zhang and the other teachers would probably go crazy.

Chi Shuyan vaguely felt that the other party had most likely invited her to a meal because of the spirit tea. She didn’t plan to offend such a partner, but she didn’t plan to sell everything at the Jing Auction House, and had her own ideas. After thinking for a moment, she agreed to the other party’s invitation.

However, since the other party had treated her the last few times, Chi Shuyan said she would choose the restaurant this time, and it would be her treat.

Sure enough, Jing Hengran had no objections and immediately agreed.

Chi Shuyan said, “I’ll send you the location after I choose a restaurant.”

“Deal!”

The two arranged to meet at 6pm. It was 12pm, and there was no one else in the villa, so Chi Shuyan simply rested at home for a few hours.

Given her current cultivation level, she actually didn’t need sleep, but she had always been in the habit of sleeping or occasionally taking an afternoon nap to relax to a certain extent.

As the host, Chi Shuyan arrived at the restaurant before 6pm. She had already sent the location to the other party at 4pm.

She thought that she would have to wait for a while, but when she got there, Jing Hengran had already arrived and was waiting for her at a table by the window on the first floor.

This time, she didn’t book a private room; instead, they ate in the common area on the first floor.

It was mainly because she felt that the atmosphere in a private room with Jing Hengran was a little strange. It was fine when they were discussing business, but after that, it wasn’t good for the two of them to be alone together in a private room. In particular, the other party had already specially asked her if she was single.

She felt that if she wasn’t thinking too much, the other party was indeed a little interested in her.

She really didn’t want to date another man right now. At the same time, she didn’t want him to misunderstand her. That was why she had chosen the common area on this floor!

Jing Hengran didn’t seem to notice her thoughts, and very gallantly had her sit down. He picked up the menu and asked her what she wanted to eat, and was very considerate.

Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it. She lowered her head and was about to choose her food, when out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar man with sharp eyes slowly enter the restaurant. This time, the man’s face was very clear under the light.

He had a high nose and deep eyes. His face was cold, his eyes sharp and unfathomable. He was wearing a simple black coat and Buddhist prayer beads around his wrist. His face was breathtaking and couldn’t be ignored.

Who else could it be, but Qi Zhenbai?

Not only that, the other party sat down at the adjacent table, only half a meter away from her. He sat upright and expressionless, as if he was waiting for someone.
