The Female Taoist Priestess’s Childhood Sweetheart Is a Male CEO

Chapter 22: A Shot at Life



Chapter 22

Wang Xuanxuan took two steps back. She was frightened by the expression on Xiao Jingyi’s face just now, as well as her calling someone “master”. What was she trying to do?

Xiao Jingyi completely ignored Wang Xuanxuan's reaction and headed straight for the parking lot at B University. She was going to find her best friend now!

*

On the way to the airport, Jian Xi received a message from He Qingchen saying he might not be able to come back at noon. He had already ordered lunch that would be delivered at noon, and told her to remember to eat.

Seeing the message, Jian Xi's lips curled up and she replied telling him she had come to visit Huo Chengxi and play, so he should tell the restaurant not to deliver the food. She also told him to focus on his own work and not to worry about her!

"He Qingchen?" Huo Chengxi asked aloud.

Jian Xi was surprised, "How did you know?"

With a scoff he said, "I can also deduce things~"

Jian Xi rolled her eyes at him, "You trained in martial arts. Teacher said your talent for metaphysics is negative, even worse than Brother's!"

"Alright, He Qingchen is the best, isn't he? He Qingchen is the greatest, go on, say it. We grew up together from childhood, so how come? Just because He Qingchen found you back then, huh." Huo Chengxi said sarcastically.

Isn’t Big Brother also my brother? How come from childhood until now, this girl has only stuck to He Qingchen? It makes no sense!

Jian Xi muttered under her breath, "My brother is the best!"

Huo Chengxi was too lazy to argue with her over this point, because in this girl's eyes, that He Qingchen fellow would always be the best!

No comparison, no comparison!

It was quite far from B City to the airport, nearly two hours.

The two found the courier desk, picked up Jian Xi’s magic tool, and were about to head back. At this moment, a row of stewardesses walked over pulling their luggage.

Jian Xi's footsteps halted. It was them!

Huo Chengxi noticed her reaction and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Xi did not answer him, but directly stopped the stewardesses who were about to walk through the security checkpoint.

"Excuse me, may I ask which flight you will be on later?" She asked with a grave expression.

The stewardess walking in front was puzzled by Jian Xi, but still smiled and answered her, "Hello, our flight later will be MK7770 from B City to S City. May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

Jian Xi shook her head at her with a smile, "No, thank you!"

After thanking her, she quickly walked towards the check-in counters. As she walked away, the broadcast sounded that check-in for MK7770 had begun!

Her brows furrowed. She quickened her pace until she was jogging. There were some things she still needed to confirm.

Huo Chengxi could tell something was wrong with Jian Xi. Having seen her stop the stewardesses and ask about their flight, he knew something was going to happen!

Carrying Jian Xi’s belongings, he ran after her.

Jian Xi ran to the check-in counter area and looked at the line for flight MK7770. There were men, women, young and old, nothing out of the ordinary to others. But to Jian Xi it was completely different!

Because each of these people's Life Palace (Yintang) was emanating black qi!

Jian Xi's frown grew tighter. Her fingers quickly pinched and calculated while she closed her eyes and conjured up a huge Eight Trigrams Array in her mind.

As long as there was a ray of hope, she would save all hundred-plus of these lives!

Huo Chengxi stood silently waiting.

After a while, Jian Xi opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. There was hope, they could be saved!

"Sixth Brother, there is still a ray of hope. You are the hope!"

Huo Chengxi pointed at himself, puzzled, "Me?"

"Yes, to be precise, not you, but the Huo family!" Jian Xi explained.

"When I saw the stewardesses earlier, all of their Yintang were black, a sign of impending death. So I guessed the flight they were about to take would meet with disaster. That's why I asked which flight it was. Coming here and looking, it really is as I guessed." She pointed at the queue, "The Yintang of these people are also emanating black qi. I calculated just now that they are not entirely without a shred of hope for life, they can all be saved!"

Huo Chengxi understood after hearing the explanation, although he was not well versed in metaphysics, he knew the theory.

What Jian Xi meant by this ray of hope was that although they showed signs of impending calamity, it was not certain death, only a tribulation that could be overcome! (Don't ask, just take it as the setting!)

Generally when encountering people with death omens, it is not easy for them to escape, but today they were very fortunate to meet Jian Xi!

When Jian Xi mentioned the Huo family, Huo Chengxi thought of it. The Huo family had invested in this airport. He took out his phone, "I'll call my dad right now, you wait here."

"Okay, go quickly." Jian Xi urged.

Huo Chengxi went to make the call, leaving Jian Xi unable to intervene anymore. She had done all she could, now she obediently stood there waiting.

At this time, a family had just checked in and was heading towards security. The adults watched the pair of twins frolicking ahead, also smiling.

"In a few more hours, we'll be able to see father-in-law and mother-in-law. I took half a month off this time. Let's stay in S City for a good while and accompany them!"

"Thank you dear!"

"What are you saying thanks for, it's me who should be thanking you. I'm sorry you married me and have to go so long without returning home each year."

"If you feel guilty then spend your whole life loving me well to make up for it!"

"Alright, a lifetime!"

"Big Treasure, Little Treasure, slow down you two, watch your step, don't bump into anyone, hey hey!"

Just as the woman finished speaking, the two children bumped into Jian Xi's thighs.

The two snowy dumplings stopped and looked up at Jian Xi, apologizing, "Sorry, sister, we bumped into you! Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you?"

Seeing the black qi between the brows of the two treasures dissipating, Jian Xi smiled and squatted down, patting both their heads, "Sister is fine. Did you two get hurt from the bump?"

The two little darlings simultaneously shook their heads. The little girl happily said, "I'm not hurt. Brother definitely isn't hurt either, because his head is an iron head. Last time he used his head to bump into the tofu mom just bought and bumped it to smithereens!"

Hearing this, the little boy quickly covered his sister's mouth to keep her from continuing.

Jian Xi chuckled. Bumping tofu with his head?

Hahahahaha!

The children's parents came over, also apologizing to Jian Xi and asking if anything had happened. Jian Xi said she was fine, so the two were relieved to lead their children away!

As they left, the little boy looked back at Jian Xi. His eyes seemed to be asking if he was very powerful?

Jian Xi smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing this, the little boy bared his teeth in a grin and waved to Jian Xi, calling out, "Bye sister!"
