After pondering for a moment, Yu Qi turned and threw herself into the man's embrace. Although he was over a decade older than her, he was wealthy and generous towards her.
Yet, deep down, Yu Qi could never forget who had destroyed her once-prosperous life. Ever since she was expelled from the Yu family, her hatred for Ruan Fu Xi had festered. If it weren't for Ruan Fu Xi's loose lips, how could the family have sought out their biological daughter? She wouldn't have been cast out in the first place.
Yu Qi was aware that Ruan Fu Xi had recently gained considerable fame in the capital, becoming renowned as a master of metaphysics. No matter how much Yu Qi despised her, there was nothing she could do about it. She simply lacked the means to confront Ruan Fu Xi, especially now that Ruan Fu Xi had managed to climb into the arms of Sheng Yan Zhou, the richest man in the city.
The thought of this made Yu Qi grit her teeth in anger and jealousy. While her life was miserable, Ruan Fu Xi seemed to be thriving more than ever. Yu Qi couldn't accept this! She had to find a way to take revenge on Ruan Fu Xi.
However, as she thought about the person she had met, a smile crept onto her face. As long as she established a connection with him, what was Ruan Fu Xi to her?
Yu Qi recalled a night after she had been expelled from the Yu family. Her household registration had been transferred out, and all her belongings were thrown out as well. She had spent most of the night pleading at the door of the Yu family, but no one answered.
Filled with resentment, she left in the early morning hours. Just when she was about to find a hotel to rest for a while, Yu Qi encountered a ghost.
She still remembered the terror she felt upon seeing the woman in red. Just when she thought she was about to die, a young man appeared. He looked to be around her age but exuded an air of power; holding a banner in his hand, he waved it slightly and captured the ghost within it.
She was saved.
Yu Qi felt immense gratitude at that moment and couldn't help but blush at his handsome face. After insisting on exchanging contact information with him, she finally left.
It was only after chatting with him that she learned he was a disciple of a prominent metaphysical sect and had come down from the mountains specifically to exorcise ghosts.
Yu Qi was instantly filled with admiration for him, and after learning more details, Tian mentioned that if she performed well, she could cultivate just like him. In that moment, her heart raced.
However, Tian quickly added that since she had already passed the best age for cultivation, if she wanted to join a sect, she would have to do something to prove her sincerity. At the very least, she needed to show the sect that she was earnest.
At that time, Yu Qi had just started dating her current partner. Upon seeing the message from Tian, she was overjoyed and immediately vowed that she would do anything; her sincerity was unwavering. If she could also cultivate, wouldn’t she be even more formidable than Ruan Fuxi? After all, the sect Tian belonged to was a major one, far beyond what Ruan Fuxi—a mere fortune-teller with questionable skills—could compare to.
However, Tian had been busy dealing with ghosts lately. He said that considering the bond between them, he would send her a talisman that could bring her good luck. He promised to discuss things in detail once he wasn’t so busy.
Although Yu Qi felt disappointed that she couldn’t join immediately due to Tian’s lack of time, there was nothing she could do about it. After receiving the talisman from Tian, she kept it on her person and soon discovered that her luck was indeed improving. Not only did men become increasingly infatuated with her, but she also found herself becoming more attractive.
Yu Qi became even more convinced of Tian’s abilities and yearned to join his sect even more. Just yesterday, she received a phone call from Tian. His tone sounded urgent as he told her that something very important to him was about to appear at an auction he couldn’t attend and asked if she could help him bid on it.
Having received his talisman and feeling increasingly fortunate in life—with her partner willing to spend money on her—Yu Qi thought about how to express her sincerity in wanting to join the sect. Without hesitation, she volunteered to help him out, saying she would cover any cost herself. Once the item was secured, it would be a gift from her as a token of her sincerity.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Qi immediately urged her partner to take her to the auction. The item Tian wanted was none other than a yellow crystal gemstone.
