Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: The Ancestor Never Makes Polite Gestures, Unless She Wants to Watch the Drama
The people around looked at Bai Chuwei in astonishment, for the Immortal Teacher would never proactively ask anyone to stay; she never engaged in pleasantries!
Duan Feihan lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, knowing she wouldn’t take the initiative to ask someone to stay unless she wanted to watch the show.
Duan Feihan neither interjected nor spoke; he quietly drank his red wine on the side, leaving the entire focus of the main event on Bai Chuwei.
Liao Jinjin was utterly confused and instinctively shook her head to refuse, “No need, there are things at home I need to attend to.”
She felt awkward here, unable to find anything to do.
Bai Chuwei sighed lightly at her words and didn’t persist, watching Liao Jinjin leave the hall.
Not heeding the words of the elderly, suffering is right before your eyes.
A girl exclaimed in shock, “Who is this young lady who’s so impressive? She doesn’t even give face to the Immortal Teacher? If the Immortal Teacher asked me to stay, I’d hold back having a baby even if I were about to give birth and have it the next day!”
Liao Jinjin had just walked out of the hotel, the cool breeze ruffling her long hair.
To avoid enthusiastic fans, Director Wang booked a hotel in a relatively remote location, which became quite desolate as one walked further away.
Liao Jinjin was not afraid of ordinary men; she was worried about the cultivators.
Her Liao family had many enemies.
So even though she already had a Taoist partner, she lived under the same roof with Xu Xingchen and her father, the three of them together.
Liao Jinjin was about to take out her Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman from her waist to contact her father when the sound of the wind around her suddenly changed.
Suddenly vigilant, Liao Jinjin raised her eyes and shouted sternly, “Who?!”
“Liao Xiaosan, who do you think I am?”
A voice full of extreme anger came with the wind, and Liao Jinjin looked in the distance to see a figure several hundred meters away, under the night she could only make out a pair of scarlet eyes.
The scent of blood filled the air.
Liao Jinjin was utterly shocked, “Tong Qingyan?”
She… wasn’t she just an ordinary person? She had heard before that Tong Qingyan apprenticed under Jiao Peng, and yet she was only a good-for-nothing with half a foot into the door of cultivation, someone she didn’t consider worth her attention.
How come… things feel different now?
In the blink of an eye, Tong Qingyan, who was at a distance of several hundred meters, was upon her!
Tong Qingyan stared at Liao Jinjin with hatred, each word emanating as if she wanted to bite and swallow her whole, “Steal my man, deceive Xingchen into a partnership with your Taoist partner? I’ve heard there’s another way aside from you dissolving the partnership—”
“The Taoist partner dies.”
Stars filled the night sky when suddenly patches of dark clouds gathered, with thunder faintly looming.
Coupled with Tong Qingyan’s scarlet eyes, it was simply—a perfect match!
Liao Jinjin’s heart was filled with immense terror; she instinctively glanced toward the brightly lit hotel in the distance, heavy regret filling her heart.
Bai Chuwei!
Bai Chuwei had invited her to stay earlier, clearly knowing something.
But there was still quite a distance from the Celebration Banquet Hotel, and even the most powerful cultivator wouldn’t make it in time.
Besides, she had some entanglements with Bai Chuwei and the Young Master; who would specifically come to help her?
*
The celebration banquet was still in full swing, with Director Wang, having recovered himself, grabbing people to casually discuss health preservation.
A series of hurried footsteps came from outside, hotel security running in with tense expressions, “There’s been an incident; one of the young ladies who left the hotel earlier is in trouble! The ground is covered in blood. The ambulance hasn’t arrived yet.”
Didn’t they say the Immortal Teacher knows medicine?
Everyone was utterly shocked, their expressions filled with terror.
The only person who had left the celebration banquet today was—
Liao Jinjin!
The Immortal Teacher had even asked her to stay before she left!
Indeed, worthy of the Immortal Teacher, it’s amazing.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Bai Chuwei’s lips curved, and she playfully said, “Is that so? Then let’s go and have a look.”
