Su Yinghe returned to the box first and greeted the others, then took Jian Xi back to her own place.
Of course, it wasn't the Su family home, but her own residence.
"Jian Xi, what about that old man from the Yuan family? Are you going to treat him?" Su Yinghe asked.
"Yuan Sen is Yuan Sen, and a patient is a patient - two separate matters. Since he made an appointment, I'll treat him normally," Jian Xi replied.
Su Yinghe nodded slightly. "That makes sense. But today really opened my eyes. Since I returned to B City, I haven't encountered such an idiot!"
Jian Xi smiled and shrugged. "Well, you met one today!"
Su Yinghe tapped her head, laughing. "As if you come across them often."
Jian Xi giggled.
After washing up, the two lay on Su Yinghe's large bed and chatted late into the night. After all, such opportunities were rare - who knew when Su Yinghe would be able to take Jian Xi out again?
*
Since it was Friday, Jian Xi still had fortune-telling duties, so early in the morning after the two had breakfast outside, Su Yinghe sent her back.
It was still early, so Jian Xi returned to the main building first. After yesterday's events, Jian Xi discovered a problem: she might need to use her Heavenly Eye ability more often in the future.
Like yesterday, if she had the third Emperor's Coin, she wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble!
It seemed she still needed to study further - aside from the coin she had already given to He Qingchen, what else could substitute for the Emperor's Coins when opening her Heavenly Eye? Or could she open her Heavenly Eye without using the Emperor's Coins?
Lost in thought, she completely failed to notice that He Qingchen, who should have returned only around noon, was already standing by the sofa, smiling as he watched her!
Since childhood, Jian Xi had this bad habit of lowering her head and only looking at the path in front of her feet whenever she was deep in thought.
He had no intention of avoiding her, and simply watched as she bumped into his chest. He then lifted her up by her thighs.
Jian Xi was startled, letting out an "Ah!" "He Qingchen! You scared me!"
He Qingchen chuckled. "Should I call your soul back then?"
"Never mind, I'm afraid you'll summon the wrong soul," Jian Xi said with disdain.
He Qingchen playfully smacked her little butt as punishment for that look.
Jian Xi pouted, giving him an aggrieved look.
He Qingchen swallowed hard, no longer able to restrain himself, and captured those red lips in a kiss.
He hadn't intended to go too far, but the sweetness was too addictive.
Jian Xi also enjoyed being intimate with He Qingchen. Someone had commented on her post that one way to tell if you really liked someone was whether you enjoyed doing 'intimate' things with them, because you would only feel physically and mentally at ease doing those things with someone you liked!
She was very clear that she liked He Qingchen - the romantic kind of like.
When two people who like each other don't want to hold back, what is the eventual result?
Of course, Jian Xi went to the small wooden house with slightly swollen lips to start her first fortune-telling session of the day!
However, before the first session began, Gu Lingling reported something to her - the head of the Xu family wanted to see her to express his gratitude for helping them find their biological son, and he had prepared a generous gift!
Jian Xi instructed Gu Lingling to directly refuse the Xu family, and to tell the head of the family that she had already accepted Xu Yanxin's fortune-telling fee.
With just that one sentence, but as intelligent people, they would understand her implication - that Xu Yanxin had come to her for a fortune-telling session, so they should be thanking him!
After the first client entered, Gu Lingling called the head of the Xu family and relayed Jian Xi's exact words to him.
The first client today was a driver from the Qi family, and Jian Xi deeply frowned the moment she saw him.
The reason was simple - his body was tainted with a severe yin energy!
Song Zhou immediately knelt before Jian Xi. "Miss Jian, I'm a driver from the Qi family. My name is Song Zhou. Please save my daughter, she seems to have provoked one of those things, and she's not herself anymore!"
Jian Xi stepped aside to avoid his action and said softly, "Get up first and wait outside. After I finish the next two sessions, I'll go with you."
Hope flashed in Song Zhou's eyes. He never expected Jian Xi to agree without even asking any questions. "Thank you, Miss Jian, thank you. I'll wait outside for you now."
Jian Xi nodded slightly.
Song Zhou's daughter had indeed been possessed by an evil entity, and not an easy one to deal with. Fortunately, it couldn't harm her life for the time being, as forcibly fusing souls wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight. So there was no need to rush - she would take care of that malicious entity after finishing the remaining two sessions!
It didn't take half an hour for Jian Xi to resolve the other two sessions. Feeling that going alone would be a bit boring, she called Tang Xingyou, since she might need to use the Paper Figurine Technique today - hadn't Tang Xingyou always wanted to learn it? She could take this opportunity to teach her!
Jian Xi found Tang Xingyou's contact and made the call.
It rang twice before Tang Xingyou's excited voice came through. "Hey, Jian Xi!"
Hearing her barely concealed excitement, Jian Xi laughed. "Sister Xingyou, why are you always so happy whenever I call you?"
"Of course I'm happy when you call me - it's never for a bad reason!" Tang Xingyou said directly.
Jian Xi said helplessly, "Alright, this time it's for a good reason. I have to go out and take care of something soon, and I might need to use the Paper Figurine Technique. Since you wanted to learn it, take two hours off work and come with me."
She knew that the Special Operations Bureau didn't have any major cases recently. The last time she went to the bureau, she had basically taken care of everything they needed to do. Just yesterday, she saw Shi Fan mention in their group chat that this was their most relaxed month, even tagging and thanking her!
At that moment, in the Special Operations Bureau office, Tang Xingyou jumped up from her seat with sheer delight upon hearing Jian Xi's invitation to learn the Paper Figurine Technique. Her face flushed with excitement. "Really? Jian Xi, I'll really be able to learn the Paper Figurine Technique?"
"Hahaha, just wait. I'll go request leave right now. Star Galaxy Community, right? Okay, I'll drive over and find you soon. Wait for me!"
After hanging up, Tang Xingyou rushed to Wang Jian'an's office to request leave, then rushed back to her desk to grab her car keys before hurrying downstairs.
After she left, Shi Fan got up from his seat and also went to the bureau director's office.
Next were Yi Yunzheng and Lin Xiwen.
Just as Wang Jian'an was wondering why everyone was requesting leave from him, Nie Xiujin knocked on the door and entered, looking slightly embarrassed. "Ahem, Director Wang, I'd like to request some leave as well. Could you please watch over things downstairs for me?"
