Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1545 He Minrou’s Objective

Fu Qing subconsciously didn’t want He Minrou to be prejudiced against the young lady in front of her. Hearing the Master’s question, Fu Qing immediately explained to He Minrou, “Minrou, this is the Master with especially accurate fortune-telling.” After saying that, she took the initiative to introduce her to Chi Shuyan. “Master, this is Minrou, a good friend of mine.”

He Minrou had been shocked and apprehensive when she saw this disciple of Fu Qing’s from her previous life appear at the Fu residence. Now that she had calmed down, however, she realized that this disciple didn’t seem to know Fu Qing or her. If she had also been reborn, she should be able to recognize her. Although they hadn’t interacted much in her previous life, the two of them had still met a few times.

Even after her rebirth, He Minrou actually didn’t know much about Fu Qing’s disciple. In her previous life, most of her attention had been on Zhao Junrong and Fu Qing; she didn’t know much about anyone else at all.

So, when she met the other party’s puzzled gaze, He Minrou was both wary and doubtful. Could it be that the other party hadn’t been reborn, but had run into Fu Qing by chance?

The more He Minrou looked at the other party’s puzzled expression, the more bewildered she became. But, if the other party hadn’t been reborn, how did she end up walking the path of a Celestial Master?

He Minrou couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought about it. She was bewildered and wanted to figure out if the other party had been reborn like her. If not, that would naturally be best, but if it was true… a trace of ruthlessness flashed in He Minrou’s eyes. On the surface, she pretended to be calm, but she deliberately asked casually, “Master? Is what Ah Qing said true? Are your divinations really especially accurate? Are there really such things in this world?”

Chi Shuyan acted like she didn’t see the other party probing her. She was calm and didn’t answer directly, but indirectly. “Miss He, if you believe they exist, they do!”

He Minrou was annoyed when she didn’t learn anything. She asked again where Chi Shuyan was from and how she knew Fu Qing.

Chi Shuyan had already prepared an answer, and she replied calmly, “I’m from the capital. My friend and I happen to be visiting S City for a few days. I met Miss Fu on Old Madam Cai’s recommendation.”

Fu Qing couldn’t see the probing in their conversation at all. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw how they seemed to be hitting it off. She echoed Chi Shuyan’s words, which proved that what she said was indeed true.

He Minrou wanted to poke holes in the other party’s guise, but though they had known each other in her previous life, they had only met a few times. All she had known in her previous life was that Fu Qing had this disciple. Apart from that, she didn’t know anything else. For another thing, Fu Qing had just confirmed that the other party wasn’t lying. The other party had indeed been recommended by the old lady of the Cai family. Could such coincidences exist in this world?

He Minrou didn’t want to believe it, but she couldn’t do anything about it for now. She couldn’t confirm whether or not Fu Qing’s disciple really didn’t know Fu Qing. However, Fu Qing indeed didn’t know her in this life. In short, given He Minrou’s current relationship with Fu Qing, she wouldn’t lie to her for someone else.

So, even if He Minrou didn’t want to, she had no choice but to believe that the other party really hadn’t been reborn like her, but had just happened to run into Fu Qing in this life. He Minrou relaxed. At the same time, however, she hated how the heavens had arranged things; if it wasn’t for this disciple, Zhao Junrong might have long married Fu Qing, and He Minrou might have been able to find out about the Fu family’s Celestial Master secret manual through Zhao Junrong.

The more He Minrou thought about it, the more hatred she felt in her heart, but she was helpless. She felt depressed. She had already asked about things she shouldn’t have, and she saw how this Chi woman maintained a polite distance and called Fu Qing “Miss Fu.” She also looked at He Minrou like she was a stranger. He Minrou gradually relaxed. After failing to find out anything, she found an excuse to leave first and go back to discuss a strategy with that scumbag, Zhao Junrong.

Before she left, He Minrou said gently to Fu Qing, as if for her own good, “Ah Qing, as the saying goes, it takes ten years to take the same boat, and a hundred years to sleep in the same bed. It’s really not easy to have fate with someone. It wasn’t easy for you and Junrong to get to where you are now because of fate. I can tell that Junrong’s feelings for you aren’t any less genuine than yours for him. He really likes you. Besides, something like matching birth characters is too abstract; who knows if it’s true or not?”

As He Minrou spoke, she treated Chi Shuyan as if she was invisible the entire time, and continued to persuade Fu Qing earnestly, “When Junrong found out today that your parents are reconsidering your relationship with him, he felt especially terrible. Ah Qing, think about how well Junrong treated you before. If you miss out on such a good man, it’ll probably be difficult for you in the future to find another man who is equally sincere toward you and only values you and doesn’t care about your family background at all. Besides, the most important thing for a couple is trust.”

If it were a decade later, Chi Shuyan’s teacher probably wouldn’t even look at He Minrou, let alone feel moved by her. Now, however, Chi Shuyan saw how He Minrou, this woman, tricked her teacher with just a few words. Her right eyelid twitched. Before He Minrou could speak, Chi Shuyan immediately interrupted her. “Miss He, it’s getting late. Don’t you still have something on?”

He Minrou choked and her face turned very unsightly. Fu Qing also seemed to remember this and immediately said considerately, “Minrou, I’ll consider what you said. By the way, you have something on, right? You can go first. I’m fine!”

He Minrou immediately felt like she had swallowed a fly and wanted to vomit, but couldn’t. She regretted leaving early, but there was no other way. She could only leave reluctantly for the time being, and she said that she would look for Fu Qing tomorrow.

After He Minrou left, Chi Shuyan’s eyes grew colder; she was basically certain that this woman had indeed been reborn.

Chi Shuyan was very surprised that He Minrou had been reborn, like her. At the same time, she was even more surprised that this woman, who had wanted to monopolize that scumbag, Zhao Junrong, in her previous life, wanted to push him to her teacher in this life. What was her objective?

When the other party had been advising Chi Shuyan’s teacher just now, she practically had it tattooed on her forehead that she couldn’t wait for Chi Shuyan’s teacher to immediately reconcile with that scumbag, Zhao Junrong.

What on earth was this woman up to?

Did she want the Fu family assets?

Chi Shuyan felt that it wasn’t that simple. Wait, whether it was in her previous life or this life, He Minrou could indeed barely be considered a Celestial Master. Although she had only scratched the surface, could it be that the other party was after the Fu family’s Celestial Master secret manual?

The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she felt that was the case. At the same time, she had always felt that He Minrou’s relationship with Zhao Junrong, that scumbag, was very ordinary. Even if He Minrou could be considered that scumbag’s first love, Chi Shuyan had also heard in her previous life that Zhao Junrong had other women as well, not just He Minrou.

If that was the case, He Minrou had probably long seen Zhao Junrong’s true colors. As for why she was trying to matchmake Zhao Junrong and Fu Qing, it was due in part to the Fu family assets and that Celestial Master secret manual. As for the rest of her thoughts, only she knew what she was thinking.

It was nothing more than jealousy and hatred of Chi Shuyan’s teacher. He Minrou didn’t want Chi Shuyan’s teacher to live a good life, and even wanted to see her teacher suffer even more than in her previous life.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan’s face was incomparably unsightly and gloomy. At that moment, her feelings about He Minrou were even icier compared with her hatred for that scumbag, Zhao Junrong.

If that was the case, not only was He Minrou a schemer, she also had a poisonous heart. Her teacher had such a poisonous snake by her side, but didn’t notice; she even treated He Minrou as a close friend. It could be seen how much of a schemer He Minrou was!

Chi Shuyan’s heart turned cold for her teacher.

As her teacher watched He Minrou leave with a gentle gaze, she said good things about her to Chi Shuyan, whose eyes turned chilly bit by bit.

If she hadn’t been reborn and come looking for her teacher, He Minrou would most likely have achieved her goal. Thinking this, the violence in Chi Shuyan’s heart surged. Still, she continued to probe if her teacher was on good terms with He Minrou.

Thanks to the good impression which her teacher had of her, her teacher didn’t hide anything about her friendship with He Minrou. Chi Shuyan’s guesses were confirmed one by one; for example, it was indeed He Minrou who had introduced Zhao Junrong, that scumbag, to her teacher.

Her teacher actually didn’t have any feelings for Zhao Junrong at first, but He Minrou kept saying good things about him in her ear. With He Minrou’s help, Zhao Junrong found opportunities every day to be attentive to her teacher; it would be strange if her teacher wasn’t moved.

That was why the matter of marriage had come up so quickly.

Only then did Chi Shuyan understand why her timing had seemed off when she came to S City to help her teacher avoid Zhao Junrong and all the calamities; she hadn’t been able to stop He Minrou, who had been reborn, from introducing her teacher to Zhao Junrong, that scumbag, which was why her teacher’s marriage to Zhao Junrong had been brought forward in this life.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan was both glad and scared. She was glad that He Minrou had been reborn a little late. Although her teacher’s marriage to that scumbag had been brought forward, they weren’t married yet, so there was still a chance to fix things.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t have been able to help her teacher avoid all the calamities and that scumbag on this trip to S City this time.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan’s heart felt heavy. She didn’t specifically ask about her teacher and He Minrou, but suddenly said, “Miss Fu, do you believe me?”

Fu Qing was surprised; she didn’t know why the Master was bringing this up again. Speaking of which, she had said too much to this young lady just now. After she finished speaking, she felt a little strange.

She wasn’t someone who liked to talk much, but was very quiet and very guarded. She wouldn’t reveal anything of her private affairs to anyone who wasn’t a true friend.

But whenever she saw this Master, she felt especially strange. Not only did she inexplicably have a good impression of her, Fu Qing could even sense the faint trust she had in the young lady in front of her. It had to be said that Fu Qing was surprised and puzzled, and she felt that this young lady in front of her was especially magical.

After listening to her, Fu Qing was stumped for a moment before she immediately nodded.

Chi Shuyan forced a smile and continued, “Miss Fu, that woman just now didn’t look like a good person. Some people might be good to you on the surface, but in their hearts, they might want to stab you at all times. Not only that, I can tell that her relationship with your boyfriend seems to be extraordinary.”

Chi Shuyan emphasized the word “extraordinary,” and said it especially ambiguously. She wasn’t afraid that her teacher wouldn’t understand.

Sure enough!

As soon as she said that, her teacher’s face immediately changed. She was bewildered, livid, and in disbelief. She had a thought, and her face froze for a moment before she quickly regained her composure.

Chi Shuyan took in her teacher’s subtle expression. She couldn’t wait for her teacher to think of the strangeness between that scumbag and that woman.

Without waiting for her teacher to ask, Chi Shuyan said slowly, “Miss Fu, there’s no hurry. Uncle Fu should have news in a few days. When the time comes, we’ll naturally know if Mr. Zhao is innocent or not.”

Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait for Zhao Junrong’s true colors to be revealed so that her teacher would stay away from him, but seeing that her teacher was unusually listless, she was also worried that her teacher would be hurt.

Fortunately, whether it was her teacher more than a decade later or the person she was now, she was broad-minded and didn’t wallow in her emotions. Seeing her teacher give her a quick smile, Chi Shuyan blurted out to comfort her, “Miss Fu, as the saying goes, if the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come. There are so many men in this world, and you’re very outstanding. You don’t have to worry about not being able to find someone who will be really good to you. If it really doesn’t work out, I have a lot of resources.”

As she spoke, Chi Shuyan took out a pen from somewhere and wrote a number on her teacher’s palm. “Miss Fu, if you need anything, you can contact this person!”

With that, Chi Shuyan turned around and left, leaving behind a stupefied Fu Qing.
