Chapter 42
"Mr. Zhou, the road ahead for you two has some bumps that are not too difficult to overcome. As long as you give her enough sense of security, she will walk out of that dead end," Ling Sister said while seeing off the guest.
Ancient Ling Ling made a "please" gesture. "Mr. Zhou, this way please."
Zhou Junhe nodded and thanked Jian Xi again before following her out.
He still did not completely believe everything. He needed to investigate himself first before knowing if it was true or not!
When Zhou Junhe left, he happened to run into someone he knew - Li Ren from the Li family in S City. Although there was no cooperation between the two families, they did know each other.
He exchanged brief pleasantries before leaving. Li Ren was then brought into the small wooden house by Ancient Ling Ling.
Li Ren had seen Jian Xi before at the jade stone auction. But he did not come today for a fortune reading. Instead, he wanted Jian Xi to help look at his recent fortunes.
Recently, he had just been very unlucky. While not quite at the level of things going wrong whenever he tried to do something, it was still a case of stumbling and falling every few days. No matter what stocks he bought, they would fall. Even just walking on the streets, he could get bird droppings on him!
Just now, when he got out of the car at Pleasant View Creek Garden, he almost twisted his ankle when he stumbled!
When Jian Xi saw him, her small face was wrinkled. There was no need to ask what he was here for. She directly said, "Has Mr. Li been very unlucky recently?" With that heavy yin energy on him, tsk tsk!
If he had come a few days later, he would probably be dead or crippled!
Li Ren was surprised but nodded. "Miss Jian, could you tell me what is going on? Is someone cursing me?"
Jian Xi shook her head. "No one is cursing you."
"Then what is it?"
Looking at him, Jian Xi reminded, "Have you collected anything recently that you should not have?"
Li Ren said, "I did collect a batch of items recently, but I don't know which one you're referring to?"
He liked collecting antiques. Basically, the older they were, the more he liked to collect them. All kinds of antiques would enter his collection room every month. Just a few days ago, he had collected quite a few pieces. Could there be an issue with those items?
Just as he was thinking, he saw Jian Xi throw two coins onto the table. She then calmly said, "The painting of the lady hung on the southwest corner of your bedroom wall, burn it when you get home. Then everything will be fine. In the future, don't collect just anything."
Li Ren could not believe it. That painting of the lady was also among the batch of items he collected a few days ago. He thought it looked nice, so he hung it in his bedroom.
"Is there an issue with the woman in the painting? Is she a ghost?" Li Ren asked in horror.
Jian Xi almost could not hold back her laughter. This person had quite the imagination. "There's no issue with the painting itself. The issue lies with the painting's original owner. He liked this painting a lot. After he died, the painting followed him into his grave. So the yin energy on it is very heavy."
Li Ren instantly felt his scalp tingle as a feeling of disgust rose within him. To think the painting had spent so many years with a dead person, and he actually hung it in his bedroom!
"Miss Jian, will it be fine as long as I burn it? Will I stop having bad luck then?" Li Ren asked.
"Yes, it'll be fine once you burn it. But it'll take some time for the yin energy on you to dissipate. When you have time, get more sun. It'll naturally go away after half a month."
Li Ren felt a headache coming. To think the bad luck would last half a month!
He asked, "Miss Jian, is there any other quicker way to get rid of the yin energy on me?"
"There is. I can give you a talisman to dispel yin energy. But that will cost extra," Jian Xi smiled slightly.
Li Ren's eyes lit up. Without even asking the price, he directly said he wanted five.
But Jian Xi shook her head. "One is enough for your situation. Having more is useless."
With a flip of her fair and delicate wrist, a talisman appeared out of thin air in Jian Xi's hand.
Of course, she had operated under the table so Li Ren did not see anything.
"Keep it on your body. When you sleep at night, place it under your pillow. The talisman will change color in the morning. Burn it after it changes color. The talisman costs 2,000. You can pay it together with the divination fee to my assistant later."
Li Ren received the talisman carefully and put it in his pocket, repeatedly saying OK.
"Ling Sister, please see the guest out."
After Ancient Ling Ling brought Li Ren out, Jian Xi took out another cleansing talisman from her bracelet again. She waved it around twice. The talisman burned up by itself.
After it was completely burned, Jian Xi could finally breathe easy again. "Too smelly!"
Not only could she see yin energy, she could smell it too. Things that had been in graves tended to smell very bad!
Of course, normal people could not smell it. Even among metaphysicists, very few had the ability to smell it!
Neither Zhou Junhe nor Li Ren had tea. The water had turned cold. Jian Xi got up and moved around a bit, then boiled a new pot of water. She took out a red canned milk drink from the refrigerator. Recently, she had started liking to drink this. So He Qingchen had prepared a lot for her to store in the refrigerator.
Just as she was drinking with her head tilted back, Ling Ling brought in the third guest of the day.
Seeing the red canned milk drink in Jian Xi's hand, Chen Qingdong's mouth twitched. Wasn't this the same brand his five-year-old nephew liked to drink?
"Miss Jian, the last one for today. President Chen is here." Ancient Ling Ling respectfully said.
"Alright." Jian Xi responded. Noticing Chen Qingdong staring at the milk drink in her hand, she put it down and asked, "Does President Chen want one too? There's more in the fridge. I can take one out for you?"
Chen Qingdong quickly waved his hands. "No need, Miss Jian. No need."
"Then please take a seat, President Chen." Jian Xi sat back down as well. Sizing him up, she definitively said, "President Chen, you did not come today for a fortune reading, but to have me take a look at an illness."
Chen Qingdong was surprised. His face also flushed slightly. "Since Miss Jian already saw through it, I'll be straightforward. I do have some private problems with my body. I had already given up all hope, but after seeing your video of saving someone on a plane, I, I..."
For such matters, he had originally wanted to look for Lin Yichen, known as the number one Chinese medicine doctor. But the elusive master doctor could not be found no matter how many connections he used. He could only reluctantly come to try his luck with Jian Xi.
"Sorry, Miss Jian. Was I too abrupt?" A close-to-forty-years-old man like Chen Qingdong did not even dare to lift his head in front of a young girl like Jian Xi. Because his condition was indeed difficult to speak of.
He had infertility issues!
Jian Xi knew he felt embarrassed and comforted, "There's no need to feel embarrassed, President Chen. I'm a doctor, you're the patient."
The implied meaning was that before age and gender differences, I'm first and foremost a doctor. I cannot avoid diagnosing an illness due to squeamishness.
Hearing this, Chen Qingdong also felt relieved. At least he had not imposed on Miss Jian too much.
