Chapter 122: Fists Got Harder
Hearing the perverted laughter coming from the phone, Xuan Xia thought, maybe it’s better to let Hu Yue hang up the phone.
The laughter was too grating; her hair stood on end.
Just based on this laughter, her trust scale was now tilting toward Hu Yue.
Hu Yue didn’t seem like someone with such heavy tastes.
“What are you saying, baby.” The laughter on the other end hadn’t stopped, but the tone became even more perverted with the amusement.
“Why haven’t you come home yet, hmm? I’m still waiting for you to come home. Won’t you come back and see what surprise I’ve prepared for you today?”
Xuan Xia: “……”
An Qi looked at Hu Yue in horror.
Hu Yue’s face turned cold, and she lowered her eyes, staring blankly at her fingers.
Probably because the silence on this side was increasingly pleasing to the person on the other end, he deliberately softened his voice and said, “Good baby, promise me, and tonight I won’t let those little things go play with you, how about it? Okay?”
“……”
Xuan Xia really couldn’t listen anymore and leaned over to press the hang-up button.
The room fell silent again.
Hu Yue was still staring blankly at her fingertips.
An Qi became anxious, “He he he, he even knows where you live now?”
“Whatever, I’m not afraid of him.” Hu Yue said softly.
Her tone didn’t sound like giving up on herself, but rather like she was prepared for mutual destruction.
An Qi’s eyes turned red with anxiety, looking pitifully at Xuan Xia.
“Xuan Xia, you heard it too, Yueyue really isn’t with him!”
Xuan Xia gave a “mm” and directly called Qu Xingxuan.
Qu Xingxuan lazily picked up the phone, “Hello, what’s up?”
“How did Ren Tongli show off in the group? Compile it and send me screenshots.” Xuan Xia got straight to the point.
“Huh? What for?”
“By the way, how capable is Ren Tongli?”
“Hmm?”
Qu Xingxuan couldn’t keep up with the rhythm.
But compared to that, the second question was easier to answer.
Qu Xingxuan said: “A couple days ago he posted his ranking, now it’s outside 600.”
“But his ranking is all from riding coattails. Now he’s clinging to the Cui Family’s thigh. A while back, those from the Cui Family took him along on their training trip, that’s how his ranking went up a lot. If it were up to him alone, getting into 1000 would be an issue.”
Outside 600… Xuan Xia had a gauge in her mind.
Just 400 spots above her, no panic.
After answering, Qu Xingxuan turned back to ask her: “Why are you suddenly so curious about him? Did you listen to what I just advised you?”
Xuan Xia brushed it off: “I listened, I listened, both my eyes listened.”
Qu Xingxuan: “? ? ?”
“Hanging up, send the screenshots quick. Tomorrow I’ll send you a full set of Wu San.”
Qu Xingxuan: ? ? ? ? ?
Did she actually want the chat screenshots?
But Qu Xingxuan didn’t have time to ask; Xuan Xia had already ended the call.
Then she said to Hu Yue: “Tell me more specifically, what are those little things he just mentioned?”
……
It took nearly ten minutes before Qu Xingxuan sent the chat screenshots to Xuan Xia.
And during this time, Xuan Xia also learned from Hu Yue’s mouth what those little things Ren Tongli mentioned were.
After looking through the chat screenshots from Qu Xingxuan, Xuan Xia already had a plan.
She asked Hu Yue: “Are you going home tonight?”
An Qi said to Hu Yue: “Yueyue, why don’t you not go home tonight, come to my place.”
Hu Yue looked at An Qi, “If I dodge today, what about tomorrow? Can I keep dodging forever?”
Besides, “If he knows where I live, he might also know your place. Aren’t you afraid then?”
Afraid… of course she was definitely afraid.
But An Qi couldn’t leave her to face it alone.
After hearing their conversation, Xuan Xia interjected: “Alright, An Qi, you go back to your own home. Tonight I’ll go to her place with Yueyue.”
Both looked at her.
An Qi was pleasantly surprised, “Xuan Xia, you’re willing to help us?”
Xuan Xia could only say: “I’ll try.”
She didn’t want to wade into this mess, but Ren Tongli on the phone was really disgusting; just recalling it made her fists clench hard.
A metaphysics family, not using family teachings to make a career, but instead threatening a young girl and forcing emotions.
Worse than scum!
After deciding to accompany Hu Yue home to check it out, Xuan Xia didn’t forget to make some preparations first.
She had consumed quite a bit in Hengcheng before, and hadn’t restocked since.
But fortunately, there was still plenty of cut yellow talisman paper. She hurried to make a bunch until her hand was sore enough to stop.
The remaining unused yellow talisman paper, she packed up, along with the talisman brush and cinnabar, all put into her bag for emergencies.
In addition, she drew two amulets, one for each, and gave them to Hu Yue and An Qi.
After receiving them, what they noticed first was the protective case with two lines of gold stamped text, one large and one small, in the corner.
Looking closely, it was stamped with “Changsheng Temple” on top, and “Ningzhou Ancient Architecture Cultural Site Scenic Area” below.
An Qi still remembered the Changsheng Temple matter and told Xuan Xia: “We originally had thoughts of going to Ningzhou, but Ningzhou is a bit far.” So they came to find her first.
Xuan Xia gave a “mm.”
From Yanjing to Ningzhou, it was indeed a bit of a distance.
Ah, it would be good if there could be a Changsheng Temple Yanjing branch in the future.
***
After making full preparations, Xuan Xia went back with Hu Yue to her residential community.
Hu Yue and An Qi didn’t live in the same residential community, and with Xuan Xia, the three of them lived in three different directions.
Because the directions didn’t match, An Qi could only go home alone.
Before leaving, she was still quite uneasy.
Xuan Xia reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. If something happens to us, at least you know how to report it to the police. Oh, and by the way, go to Changsheng Temple and have the people in the temple avenge me.”
An Qi: “……” Is this reassurance?
Xuan Xia smiled, then truly reassured An Qi.
After seeing off An Qi, the two set off for Hu Yue’s residential community.
On the way, Xuan Xia pulled out a notebook and did some review without wasting a second.
In this notebook she was looking at, there happened to be scattered records of the Ren Family’s family teachings.
Among the Mystic Sect families, besides commonly studying talismans, gossip, Qimen Dunjia, and the like, each family also had their own family teachings.
As for the Ren Family, they were said to have a spirit control technique.
The objects of this control were naturally sinister things, including but not limited to those with or without spirit and the malevolent ones.
However, according to her great grandfather’s records, the one who could learn this technique the best and most completely was only the Ren Family head.
Besides the family head, others could only learn the basics, just to prove they were a Ren Family member.
Knowing this information, Xuan Xia felt even more reassured.
In addition, her great grandfather had carefully listed quite a few things he had seen Ren Family members control.
Low-level ones weren’t to be feared; talismans could break them. High-level ones… Ren Tongli definitely couldn’t control them.
If he could, he wouldn’t be ranked just over 600 on the performance chart.
Xuan Xia felt even more settled.
Soon, they arrived at Hu Yue’s residential community.
