Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Inviting the Evil Spirit_1
Hearing Boss Zheng describe the situation so seriously, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but be alard. After a mont, she asked, "Boss Zheng, did your master ever ntion any way to redy this situation?"
Boss Zheng was silent for a mont before he said, "It is said that such blue and white porcelain brings disaster only to its owner. Now that Xiao Wu has bought it, he is the owner. If he wishes to escape this disaster, his only choice is to sell the porcelain to soone else."
It sounded cruelly selfish to pass on misfortune to others to ensure one’s own safety, but under the shadow of death, many people might do the sa.
Qin Sisi frowned in deep thought before asking again, "Your master told that family to discard the item. Judging from what happened later, they didn’t. If it was discarded in an uninhabited place, could the disaster be avoided?"
Boss Zheng responded with so uncertainty, "Perhaps it might save their lives, but their future luck would still be greatly affected."
Xiao Wu finally crumbled under the terror, rambling, "I’ll sell it right now... but... who do I sell it to? Or should I find the seller and return it? But what if they don’t accept returns?"
Qin Sisi couldn’t help feeling pity as she observed Xiao Wu, pale and with a look of despair. Who could have imagined that buying a piece of porcelain could cause such a disaster?
Qin Sisi lowered her eyes, gently squeezing Ye You’s back. Ye You glanced up at her and let out a soft call.
Feeling reassured by Ye You’s response, Qin Sisi looked up at Xiao Wu and said, "Sell it to ."
Upon hearing this, both Boss Zheng and Xiao Wu looked incredulously at Qin Sisi. Had the young girl lost her mind? Everyone else would avoid such calamity if possible, why would soone deliberately invite it?
Xiao Wu was stunned for a long ti, his lips quavering as he asked, "Miss, are you serious?"
Qin Sisi nodded, "I am."
Boss Zheng was incredulous, he couldn’t resist reminding her, "Ms. Qin, you need to think this through. This is not a trivial matter."
Qin Sisi replied firmly, "Rest assured, Boss Zheng, I know what I’m doing. As the saying goes, the sky is limitless and there are people beyond people. No matter how powerful a ghost is, there will always be a Mage or a talisman that can control it." Besides, Ye You was much more powerful than an ordinary Mage.
Boss Zheng saw Qin Sisi’s calm confidence and couldn’t help but think that she must have a remarkable ntor. Not only did this ntor excel in antique culture, but they must also have a deep understanding of the eight trigrams of Yin-Yang.
By now, Xiao Wu had run to the door, tremblingly carrying the blue and white porcelain to Qin Sisi, "Miss, I see that you’re no ordinary person. I am forever indebted to you. If there’s anything you need in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask."
Xiao Wu couldn’t be sure if Qin Sisi could safely overco the crisis. However, since she was proactively helping him, especially in a life and death situation, he eagerly agreed and flattered Qin Sisi, fearing she might change her mind.
Qin Sisi was naturally insightful and could see Xiao Wu’s intentions. Despite this, she didn’t mind his trivial calculation. After all, no one could remain truly calm in the face of death.
Seeing Xiao Wu’s hands trembling badly, fearing he might accidentally break it, Qin Sisi quickly took the porcelain from him and said, "Na your price."
Xiao Wu hastily said, "I dare not. Miss, you’re my savior, how could I ask for your money?"
Boss Zheng gave Xiao Wu a look and said, "I’ve told you before, it only works if you sell it. How can it be called selling if you don’t take money?" Then he turned to Qin Sisi and said, "Of course, the amount doesn’t matter."
Regaining his senses, Xiao Wu cursed himself for being so flustered and said, "Alright, then one yuan." In his desperation to sell the cursed porcelain, he’d even be willing to lose money. How could he dare ask for a high price?
Qin Sisi wasn’t surprised at the price. She looked at Boss Zheng, and he gave a slight nod, signaling that it was acceptable.
So, Qin Sisi pulled out a one-yuan coin from her pocket, handed it to Xiao Wu and said, "Deal."
Accepting the coin, Xiao Wu finally relaxed a bit. He looked at Qin Sisi and then at Boss Zheng. His expression was strange, seeming to want to cry or laugh. At last, he mumbled, "If there’s nothing else... I’ll... be leaving."
Neither Qin Sisi nor Boss Zheng said anything, and Xiao Wu awkwardly mumbled for a while before finally fleeing the shop.
"Ms. Qin, you..." Boss Zheng began, but then stopped. What could he say? Comfort or encouragent? Praise or pity? Boss Zheng felt that any words might be inappropriate at this mont.
Qin Sisi simply laughed and said, "Don’t worry, Boss Zheng. I have a plan."
Seeing Qin Sisi so calm, Boss Zheng also collected his emotions and said loudly, "Then I wish everything will go smoothly for you."
"Thank you." Qin Sisi thanked him, placed the porcelain carefully in her bag, and left with Ye You after saying goodbye to Boss Zheng.
Boss Zheng stood at the entrance of Ju Ya Zhai, looking at Qin Sisi’s retreating figure. If she really could get rid of the ghost, it would be a huge blessing. But could such a young girl really do it? And how powerful was her ntor? Even though it was her own choice, if sothing went wrong in his shop, he would still feel uneasy.
The blue and white porcelain felt extraordinarily heavy in her bag. Even though Ye You said it was fine, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but worry. She hurriedly returned to her place, delaying the bracelet matter for the mont.
As night fell and darkness enveloped the earth, the sunlight, which ghosts fear, disappeared. The cold, eerie atmosphere intensified in the darkness.
The elegant blue and white porcelain was placed on the table, Qin Sisi and Ye You sat on either side, both staring intently at the porcelain.
Ye You pointed to a faint red mark on the lid and said, "This is the Blood Talisman that the Mage left. It seals the convict’s ghost inside."
Qin Sisi, worried, looked at Ye You and asked, "Xiao Hei, are you sure this is okay?"
Ye You, with clear eyes and a resonant voice replied, "Don’t you trust ?"
Qin Sisi shook her head and said softly, "I’m just worried about you."
A warm feeling surged in Ye You’s heart. He gently caressed a wisp of Qin Sisi’s forehead hair with his claw, softly saying, "Don’t worry."
