Chapter 538 - Certain Death
Chapter 538: Certain Death
Chi Shuyan originally planned to go to her villa, but she received a call from Yu Rong on the way. She didn’t expect Yu Rong to take the initiative to look for her.
In the cafe, Chi Shuyan saw Yu Rong sitting by the window. With a glance, she also saw the surging black cadaveric qi on her forehead, which glowed with a strange red light.
This was the third time she had seen such a tragic death omen.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes were filled with bewilderment; she couldn’t help but wonder what Yu Rong had encountered. Last time, Yu Rong had appeared fine, but this time, a catastrophe was imminent, and she would die for sure.
Seeing this Master Chi stare at her, Yu Rong was a bit nervous. “Master Chi, I… What’s the matter?”
Wait, she couldn’t have encountered another malicious ghost, right?
Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to tell her the truth for the time being. How could an ordinary person remain calm if they knew that they were going to die?
Chi Shuyan asked indirectly, “Sister Yu, what happened to you recently? Why don’t you tell me about it?”
Yu Rong happened to have something to talk to her about, so she suddenly said, “Master Chi, actually, I don’t know who to talk to about this either. I just feel that Manqing has changed too much recently. Master Chi, I want to privately ask you to have a look at Manqing. Is she possessed?”
Yu Rong thought of the way Manqing had looked at her today, and she inexplicably shuddered. She felt that the way she looked at her was like a poisonous snake staring at her coldly. Yu Rong only hoped that she was thinking too much.
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Yu Rong spoke again about the recent changes in Manqing. For example, she suddenly liked Xie Mingxuan for no reason and even said that she wanted to marry him. Yu Rong didn’t believe that the real Manqing would say that.
Although she rarely interfered in Manqing’s private life, she also knew that Manqing had once had a very, very deep relationship with her second boyfriend. When they broke up, Manqing told her in a drunken stupor that she would never marry unless it was to her second boyfriend.
This was also the main reason why she suspected that “Manqing” had been possessed by something.
Chi Shuyan naturally knew that Zhou Manning wasn’t Zhou Manqing at all, so it was naturally impossible for something to possess her. It was just that she couldn’t tell Yu Rong about this. If she did, the other party might not believe her, and it was very likely that Zhou Manning would be alerted.
Given how Zhou Manning was ruthless even to her own sister, she couldn’t guarantee that this woman surnamed Zhou wouldn’t do anything crazy. She narrowed her eyes. “Sister Yu, who has Miss Zhou been in contact with recently?”
Yu Rong said, “Manqing has been wanting to change her luck recently, so she found two Celestial Masters. I only know that they seem to be from Longhu Mountain. One is Celestial Master Yang and the other is Perfected Wu. It’s said that they’re very powerful. Ever since I disagreed with Manqing about changing her luck, however, she hasn’t told me much about it!”
Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed. Longhu Mountain again?
Although she didn’t have a good impression of Li Sangyu, Chi Shuyan wasn’t completely adverse to Longhu Mountain.
In her past life, Longhu Mountain was indeed a prestigious and righteous sect of Celestial Masters. It was their responsibility to catch ghosts and subdue demons. Perhaps, it could only be said that every righteous sect would contain a few degenerates.
After a pause, Yu Rong deliberated for a moment before she continued seriously, “Master Chi, although I’ve only met those two from Longhu Mountain once, I keep feeling that Perfected Wu’s entire body reeks of blood and the cold. He doesn’t look righteous!”
Yu Rong had always believed in her intuition. She wouldn’t be where she was now without it. Seeing that Master Chi didn’t speak, Yu Rong gritted her teeth and asked, “Master Chi, do you think these two are behind Manqing’s transformation?”
