Chapter 317 The Master of Metaphysics 3
In an instant, Xie Wending felt a strange power surge into his body, which vanished in a flash. He was dazed for a while, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. When he looked up again, he found that the old man was no longer in front of him, and the shop was empty.
A cool breeze blew by, and Xie Wending shivered, instinctively turning and running out the door.
On his way home, Xie Wending was quite uneasy, feeling both regretful and that he was overthinking things, until he ran into a partner he had previously refused to cooperate with.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to propose cooperation this time, and made great concessions in terms of both benefits and other aspects, allowing the Xie family to take the lion's share!
The Xie family's current predicament seems to have been easily resolved!
When Xie Wending returned home, he saw several people sitting in the living room. His smile gradually disappeared, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
From the moment he entered, Qingyu sensed something unusual. Her gaze narrowed slightly as she saw Xie Wending's smug expression, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
Speaking of which, there was a similar scene in the original story. After Xie Wending went out for a while, he came back looking completely different. Just like the person who was dressed in gray just now, he became bright and beautiful.
But beneath this glamorous facade lies nothing but superficiality; it's easily ruined.
"Huh, Master, this aura seems to be the trace of fate being altered..." the little fox pointed out disdainfully in Qingyu's mind.
Qingyu's eyes widened slightly as she suddenly remembered the car accident that Xie Wending was about to have in the plot...
There must be a connection between the two. She calmly began to read his face and calculate. Sure enough, Xie Wending's current appearance was that of someone who had turned bad luck into good, as if he had been cut by a knife. He would soon suffer a backlash.
And this backlash was definitely caused by that car accident.
So who was behind all this? Was it the will of Heaven? It doesn't seem like it.
Could it be the female lead?
When Xie's mother saw her son return, she stood up and said, "Where have you been? Your father didn't mean to say those things about you..."
"Mom!" Xie Wending interrupted his mother, glancing at Qingyu with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "I've taken care of things at the company. You don't need to make me go on a blind date with the Yuan family anymore, do you?"
Xie's mother looked at him blankly, then realized what he meant and was overjoyed, "Are you serious?"
Xie Wending nodded proudly, "Of course."
Mrs. Xie's expression relaxed. She didn't ask any more questions, mainly because Qingyu was there. Company matters were confidential, and she didn't want Qingyu to know. She immediately got up and went to call Mr. Xie with a smile.
Seeing this, Xie Wending became even more arrogant, striding over to sit on the sofa opposite Qingyu and letting out a cold snort.
Qingyu looked at Xie Wending, already having made up her mind. She stood up and said calmly, "Congratulations on resolving the company's affairs, brother, but I see that your face is dark, which may indicate a great disaster is about to befall you."
Here it is again...
Xie Wending was extremely annoyed and sneered, "Stop playing tricks on me. You said you could bring good fortune to the Xie family, but what happened? You brought trouble to the Xie family! Now that I've solved the problem myself, don't try to play any more tricks on me."
Qingyu was not annoyed. She smiled slightly and continued, "The way of fate is mysterious and profound. Do you really think you can rely entirely on your own strength, brother? I'm afraid you're being schemed against without even realizing it."
Xie Wending was startled. Thinking of the mysterious old man, a chill ran through him, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Don't talk nonsense."
Qingyu said no more. She planned to intervene in the car accident in the original plot, but she could only guarantee that Xie Wending's injuries would be less severe.
At least don't drag her down.
Over there, Xie's mother breathed a sigh of relief after finishing her phone call and learning that the company had indeed stabilized for the time being. However, Xie's father still insisted that Xie Wending go on the blind date, saying, "The Yuan family is doing quite well lately. It's not a loss for us to get involved with them! Let that brat go! If he doesn't go, he shouldn't call me Dad!"
After hearing this, not to mention how much trouble Xie Wending had caused, the blind date he was arranged for was scheduled for tomorrow. Although Xie Wending was the male lead, he was still inexperienced and had no choice but to compromise.
That night, Qingyu secretly sneaked into Xie Wending's room and cast a protective array.
Her cultivation level is quite good now; in this world where metaphysics is weak, she is considered quite powerful.
When she returned to her room, she noticed a fluctuation in the eastern light—
Someone has been reborn?
----------
Yuan family.
Yuan Ling'er got out of bed covered in sweat, her heart and eyes filled with fear.
One second ago, she was facing a newly born demon king, who was powerful and ruthless, and she almost lost to him.
Unexpectedly, after the sharp pain struck, she opened her eyes and found herself back in her own home!
But as countless memories flooded in the next moment, she finally realized... she had been reborn?!
It took Yuan Ling'er a long time to calm herself down. A huge smile spread across her face, and her eyes were full of excitement.
She knew she was the chosen one, and that she could be reborn with such good fortune!
Thinking of something, Yuan Ling'er curled her lips into a cold smile.
In her past life, she slew demons and monsters, accumulating immeasurable merit. However, she was ultimately harmed by various conspiracies and schemes, and almost died a tragic death. In this life, she is determined to turn the tide.
She calculated the time and remembered that it was exactly the time when she met Xie Wending.
Yes, it's tomorrow, and tomorrow, Xie Wending will have a car accident.
Having memories of her past life, Yuan Ling'er knew clearly that Xie Wending had been tricked by that evil cultivator, but she didn't intend to get involved.
I remember Xie Wending saying that it was because of his car accident that he acquired that jade pendant...
What if she interferes and the jade pendant is lost?!
That's her lifeline! She absolutely has to get it!
Yuan Ling'er took a deep breath, ignoring the shame in her heart. After all, she hadn't done anything wrong, right? Those things would have happened even without her, so why should she interfere with cause and effect?
It all comes down to Xie Wending; she only met him later!
Having figured this out, Yuan Ling'er felt completely justified. The moonlight outside was perfect, and she couldn't fall asleep any longer, so she got up, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
Unfortunately, the spiritual energy was too weak. In her previous life, she had been absorbing spiritual energy freely in the jade pendant, but she could only reach that level. Now that she was back to square one, she was really not used to it!
After only half an hour of cultivation, his mind became chaotic and he lost all focus, so he could only reluctantly close his eyes and go to sleep.
Alright, I'll just have to bear with it a little longer, until tomorrow! I need to go see Xie Wending before then and get the jade pendant in my hands!
----------
The next morning, Xie Wending got up early. Although he was extremely reluctant to go on a blind date, he could not disobey his father's orders.
He straightened his clothes and prepared to go out.
Qingyu stood quietly to the side, watching him with a barely perceptible dark light in her eyes.
Someone was reborn last night. She was certain it wasn't Xie Wending, but she didn't know if it was Yuan Ling'er.
