Zuo Qingya was decidedly discontented, âMaster, what do you mean by this?
Iâve paid!â
Why should she be asked to leave?
âAmitabha,â Master Miaoguang said calmly, âHeavenâs wrath can be forgiven, but one brings doom upon oneself cannot live.â
âWhat do you mean by bringing doom upon myself? Clarify your words!â Zuo Qingya panicked, âIf you donât explain, I wonât leave today!â
Master Miaoguang suddenly opened his eyes wide, his gaze piercing, and his voice turned cold: âYouâve stolen from others, and now itâs time to return whatâs not yours. How dare you speak so shamelessly here!â
âJingyuan, see the guest out!â
The young monk, wiping his sweat, stepped forward. âPlease, benefactor.â
âWhat is wrong with you, monk?â Zuo Qingya screamed in fury, âWhat do you mean by saying Iâve stolen? Whom have I stolen from? Speak up! How can you slander me like this?!â
Yet at the same time, she felt somewhat guilty.
Zuo Xianyu was above her, being carefully groomed as the heir of the Zuo family.
She and Zuo Zonghe were just left to their own devices.
She did indeed like taking othersâ possessions, but since when was there a reason to return them?
The young monk forcibly escorted Zuo Qingya out, âPlease do not disturb
Masterâs peace. â
âYou bald donkey!â Zuo Qingya was furious to the extreme, cursing aloud, âIâll tell everyone that you are a charlatan! A fake master!â
Such a waste ofher time!
Having been driven out of Liushan Temple, she couldnât find Pei Mengzhi and had no choice but to return home.
Elsewhere.
Pei Mengzhi and Mrs. Pei were descending the mountain, heading towards the parking lot.
âMom, do you believe it now?â Pei Mengzhi was utterly exhausted, âDo you know what you tore up?â
If not for Mrs. Peiâs irrational behavior, he would have had two protective talismans by now.
âYouâre saying this was drawn by Si Fuqing? How could it possibly be her own work?â Mrs. Pei angrily questioned, âDid you see her draw it?â
âOf course, I saw it,â Pei Mengzhi replied with a bitter smile, âMom, even at this point, do you still not believe?â
âI just donât,â Mrs. Pei retorted coldly, âMaybe she just heard it from somewhere, talking nonsense.â
It wasnât that she didnât believe, but rather, she couldnât accept it.
Pei Mengzhi realized this conversation was going nowhere and coldly stated: âIf thatâs what you think, Mom, then thereâs nothing I can do. Let our family just await its fate!â
He strode forward.
Just then, a sharp honk sounded. A large vehicle burst forth, hurtling directly towards Pei Mengzhi.
His feet seemed glued to the spot, his body stiffened, unable to move.
Mrs. Peiâs face turned ghostly pale, she screamed out, âMENGZHI!â
At the very second before the vehicle could hit him, Pei Mengzhi felt a burning sensation in his chest!
Then, as if pushed by an invisible hand, he uncontrollably fell backwards, tumbling down the steps.
The vehicle roared past, narrowly missing him.
Pei Mengzhiâs legs went limp.
Dumbfounded, he reached into his shirt pocket, finding nothing but ashes.
The talisman had blocked the calamity, then self-combusted!
Mrs. Pei was still in shock, her face ashen. âMeng, Mengzhi, quick, find Si Fuqing, go to her now!â
She believed now, completely.
Nothing was more important than life.
In the face of death, all pride was meaningless.
Even Master Miaoguang couldnât help, they must seek Si Fuqingâs aid.
âWhatâs the use of saying this now, Mom?â Pei Mengzhi felt nothing but exhaustion, âThis is the person you criticized for being too young.â
âSay no more,â Mrs. Peiâs voice was choked with tears, âPlease beg her! Beg her to save our family.â
Pei Mengzhi pursed his lips. âI can only try.â
If Mrs. Pei hadnât caused that scene on Weibo, perhaps Si Fuqing would have considered helping for the sake of money.
But now?
Pei Mengzhi reluctantly sent a message to Si Fuqing.
At the âYouth With Youâ training base.
With the online matters entirely handled by the highly efficient Xingting Law Firmâs team, Si Fuqing felt much relieved.
The day after tomorrow would be the second performance and elimination round of âYouth With You.â
This round of elimination would cut even more contestants, and the trainees were all extremely nervous.
After resting for a day, Lin Qingyan felt much better.
She went to rest in the lounge, just in time to encounter Si Fuqing coming out of the adjacent room.
âTeacher Si, it seems your treatment at Tianle Media really isnât great,â Lin Qingyan said with a smile, âI heard that just yesterday Daifeiâs makeup manager came to sign a contract with you, and today thereâs news that theyâve chosen your team leader Meng Xue as their spokesperson..â
