Chapter 164: After the Wealthy Lady Went Bankrupt – 7

After walking for a while, Ren Xin changed her mind again.

“Ginseng is going to change targets. I don’t want to be ambitious anymore.”

Book Spirit Number One was very sensible and provided her with a way out. “What did I tell you? You’re just not cut out for it! Why insist on being upwardly mobile? Isn’t it just extra trouble?”

Ren Xin: “…” This feels exactly like being nagged by an old mother.

Dozens of people were trekking into the mountains in a grand procession. Mo Qiuyang, the big financial backer, actually stayed right by her side. Whenever they encountered difficult terrain, he would kindly reach out to pull her along and tell her to be careful.

Book Spirit Number One: “This boy definitely has wolfish ambitions!”

Ren Xin asked curiously, “Did you find those celestial masters? You’re making things quite awkward for me. If you want to smooth things over, it’s simple: you’ll have to pay extra.”

Mo Qiuyang shook his head in denial. “They organized this themselves after watching your livestream. And they don’t require any compensation.”

Ren Xin: “???” After all that fuss, it turns out they’re her fanboys!

Mo Qiuyang: “…” Is there a possibility that they’re actually here to expose you as a fraud?

Ren Xin didn’t believe him. “Didn’t you see the way they looked at me with such adoration? It’s ironclad proof!”

“What look? You mean the ‘I dare you to answer if I call your name¹‘ look?”

Ren Xin: “…” Did he really have to tear down the stairs she just built for herself? She was trying so hard to act like nothing happened.

She immediately changed the subject. “How much further? This money is really hard to earn. By the way, have you written a will? I mean, just in case something happens to you, how is the arrangement for my final payment handled?”

Mo Qiuyang: “…” Is it absolutely necessary for us to hurt each other like this?

Zhan Tian scurried over from behind. He lowered his voice and asked excitedly, “Sister Ren, is it true what you said about Zhang Ai being impotent?”

Ren Xin nodded. “His kidneys have issues, and it’s only going to get worse. If he’s your friend, tell him not to hide his illness from the doctor.”

Zhan Tian’s mouth fell open in shock. “Sister Ren, you don’t just know physiognomy, you know medicine too?”

Ren Xin said smugly, “A little bit. If you ever need a check-up, come find me. I might not be able to save you, but you should still let me take a look. I can tell you exactly when you’re going to die. It’s a small matter, after all, we’re friends!”

Zhan Tian: “…” He really shouldn’t have come over to join the gossip.

He retreated, and that retreat lasted the whole day.

Mo Qiuyang asked casually, “Since you know medicine, why don’t you give me a check-up?”

Ren Xin refused. She wasn’t doing a single bit of extra work!

“I’ll pay!”

Well, in that case!

“You just have a bit of trouble with insomnia, nothing else. Your body seems to have been conditioned by someone capable, and you even know a bit of innate cultivation. The qi is just zipping around inside you.”

After the diagnosis, Ren Xin silently pulled out her payment QR code and shoved it right in front of Mo Qiuyang’s eyes, making it impossible to ignore.

Watching him take out his phone, Ren Xin decided to be merciful and not set a fixed price. “This consultation is ‘pay what you want.’ It mainly depends on your conscience.”

Mo Qiuyang: “…” The simplest form of moral kidnapping is often the most effective.

“WeChat Pay received: Ten thousand yuan!”

What a wonderful little lamb for building wealth! She decided she was going to lock herself to this man’s bank card forever!

Book Spirit Number One: “Heaven has the virtue of loving life². You should be merciful and not pluck all the wool off just one sheep!”

But this one was exceptionally to the Ginseng’s liking.

The sounds from their side attracted the attention of the Daoist priest leading the way.

A middle-aged man with white hair, a youthful face, and a Goatee spoke up mockingly, “The methods people use to swindle others these days are truly endless. Young lady, since you claim to know medical diagnosis, you must have some skill. How about you take a look at me?”

Ren Xin nodded nonchalantly. “You’re not good-looking. You need to pay first!”

Goatee: “…” Did he not look like a transcendent immortal?

Ren Xin mindlessly thrust the payment code forward. The Daoist priest flicked his sleeve in anger. “Ignorant child!”

Who? Her? This guy wanted a freebie?

That wouldn’t do.

“Since you don’t want to spend money, I’ll give you a sentence for free!”

Everyone listened intently with pricked ears as they walked.

Ren Xin said slowly, “Priest, you have an anal fissure. You really must pay attention to your maintenance in your daily life.”

Pfft!

Hahaha…

Goatee was so angry he nearly fainted. He pointed at Ren Xin, wanting to curse, but Ren Xin was still looking at him with a face full of innocent confusion.

It was as if she was wondering: I’m just telling the truth, why are you so unable to handle it?

Several other Daoist priests surrounded them, demanding that Ren Xin apologize to Goatee.

Ren Xin shrugged. “I’m sorry.”

Everyone: “…” She apologized just because they told her to? No resistance at all?

The priests hadn’t expected Ren Xin to apologize so quickly. It made it feel like if they kept pressing the issue, they would be the ones acting like bullies.

The matter was dropped just like that, leaving only Goatee in a world of hurt.

The group continued forward.

Mo Qiuyang looked at Ren Xin with a hint of a smile in his eyes, which made her very wary. “What are you looking at me for? I’m warning you, don’t fall in love with me. How can a common sparrow be a match for a phoenix? Let me add: I am the phoenix!”

Mo Qiuyang: “…” Whatever makes you happy.
