Xu Yi never mistreats his junior brothers and sisters, so naturally he wouldn't take Xu Liang's money for nothing.
"Before entering the secret realm, I found a Reversal of Fate Pearl, which was formed by the fusion of the inner cores of the Nine Demonic Beasts. Because it glows, I placed it in my cave in the Cangshan Secret Realm as a Night-Shining Pearl. Go and get it, it's the fourth one on the Fan Tan Wood, seven steps to the left after entering the entrance."
Xu Liang's eyes lit up immediately.
The Reversal of Fate Bead is a wonderful treasure that can bring the dead back to life. As long as it's not a complex situation like that of the Gu family head, who is neither alive nor dead, neither old nor indestructible, it can save him from any illness or injury. It can even bring the King of Hell back to life.
This is no longer a matter of whether or not money can buy it.
"Senior sister, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Xu Liang felt a little guilty. She wasn't comfortable with her senior sister taking a mere two hundred million for a life-saving bead.
"Wedding arrangements are complicated and require a lot of attention, so please bear with me. Junior sister, please don't refuse."
Xu Liang was touched. "Thank you, senior sister."
Then, after a moment's thought, she asked, "Senior sister, did you notice something?"
"Hmm. The marriage line on your fingertip has turned black. Hopefully, the Fate-Reversing Bead will be of some use."
"Useful, very useful. Thank you, senior sister."
"We are from the same school, so we should help each other." Xu Yi said with a hint of apology, "I was unable to congratulate you on your wedding, Liang. It's my fault. Let me choose a few more items from Cangshan Cave as wedding gifts for you."
Xu Liang was hesitant to take it. Although she also had many treasures, she had learned a lot and consumed a lot of energy, unlike her senior sister who had accumulated tens of thousands of years' worth of wealth.
Any one of the treasures in Senior Sister's cave would have been enough to start a sect war among cultivators ten thousand years ago.
"It's too precious, Senior Sister. The Reversal of Fate Pearl is enough. It has helped me a lot. Besides, it's my duty as your junior sister to show my appreciation for your marriage."
Xu Liang left happily, even though taking on a part-time job bankrupted her, she was still very happy.
Money can be earned again, but those things from my senior sister can't be bought with money.
Before leaving, Xu Liang went to see his VVVIP client and explained things to her, saying that everything here had been resolved.
Xu Liang pointed to the timer on his phone, "It's been exactly two hours. Based on the discount and rounding down we agreed on, you can give me seven million."
Yin Yu clutched her aching heart. "Okay, I'll have someone call you right away."
Xu Liang truly left with joy.
Gu Yueyue indeed did not remember anything from the illusion when she woke up.
Even the events that happened in the Yue family's courtyard had become a blur for Xu Yi.
The same is true for others; they all have a processed memory in their minds.
"Teacher Gu, how are you feeling?" Xu Yi helped her up.
Gu Yueyue frowned slightly. She seemed to have had a very long dream, but she couldn't remember the details. She only knew that she was in great pain in the dream.
"Xiao Xu, where is this? How did I get here?"
Xu Yi sighed softly, "Teacher Gu, you sprained your ankle, and you came with PD Yin to investigate clues at the Yue family's courtyard. As a result, you were too tired when you climbed over the wall, and you had a hypoglycemic attack and fainted. Fortunately, you were found in time."
I think I vaguely remember it.
Gu Yueyue blushed slightly, not expecting that she had caused such a big problem for the crew.
Where is Yin Yu?
“PD Eun told everyone to rest for a while and start filming again when you wake up.”
Gu Yueyue felt even more embarrassed. Yin Yu was almost bankrupt, and she had dragged him down with her, causing the filming to be suspended for so long.
You have to understand that live streams involve donations from fans and viewers, so imagine how much Yin Yu will lose in this situation.
Gu Yueyue was slightly stunned. Why was Yin Yu about to go bankrupt?
She couldn't remember, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a strange thought; Yin Yu's wallet is bulging.
Yin Yu clutched her disappointed heart, as if clutching an empty purse, and headed straight for the Yue family's courtyard.
Seeing Gu Yueyue lying unharmed in bed, she was moved to tears.
"You're finally awake, Yueyue! Waaaaah..."
Gu Yueyue pushed away Yin Yu, who was crying as if she were attending a funeral.
Seeing her reaction, Yin Yu recalled what Master Xu had said before he left: he had erased these people's memories and rationalized their missing memories, so they would not be left with psychological trauma.
But because I am a VIP customer who has paid for the service, I cannot allow her memories to be altered, otherwise the cooperation would become unreasonable. Therefore, I must painfully face these cruel realities.
"Waaah!" Thinking of this, Yin Yu was overcome with grief and hugged Gu Yueyue tightly, determined to cry out all her grievances.
Xu Yi was a little annoyed, but unfortunately Xiao Xiao wasn't there, so she couldn't let Xiao Xiao cause trouble and separated the two of them.
She silently went next door to wake up the others.
Soon everyone gathered together, and Yin Yu was too embarrassed to hide in Gu Yueyue's arms and cry anymore, so she was forced to step back, touch up her makeup, and chat and laugh with everyone.
A note from the author:
Xu Liang: Why did you take my money when you proposed?! Ugh, that was the money I was saving for our divorce!
Surprise! Another bonus chapter!
hhhh
Do you know why?
Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, why am I adding an extra chapter today? Isn't the hint obvious enough?
Hehe~
Chapter 82
Two hours had passed, and many fans were still waiting for the live stream to continue.
There's also online discussion about why the live stream was suddenly terminated.
Yin Yu was under immense pressure and desperately wanted to start filming immediately. Every minute of delay meant she would earn less money.
She was on the verge of bankruptcy and could no longer withstand this blow.
The live stream resumed.
Xu Yi and others conducted an investigation at the Yue family's courtyard.
Because Zhao Yuan and Gu Yueyue's memories were confused, their memories of the Yue Family Courtyard were still stuck two hours ago.
Although they didn't understand why PD Eun suddenly gave them an extra two hours for lunch break, everyone did feel a bit unwell in the afternoon, their minds were foggy and they were quite sleepy.
Chen Sha was relieved that Yin Yu had given them a day off, otherwise she would have fallen asleep during the live stream.
Xu Yi, on the other hand, was full of energy and worked alongside Zhao Yuan.
She wanted to end the game as soon as possible so that Gu Yueyue could get some rest.
Zhao Yuan found a cellar entrance in the backyard and called everyone to go see it.
Chen Sha was feeling sleepy and not in good spirits. Even though she was curious about what was in the cellar, she didn't dare to go down and explore it directly, fearing that something might happen because of her poor condition.
Han Muzhou was somewhat frightened and dared not go over.
It was rare for Yin Yu to see Han Muzhou show a frightened expression, so she came over and teased her, "Is Zhouzhou afraid there are ghosts inside?"
"..." Han Muzhou suppressed the urge to complain. Knowing that it was arranged by the production team, how could there be anything fishy? She could only smile and say, "I'm more afraid of the dark."
That's the truth.
And her fans were completely unaware of this.
Yin Yu thought of Han Muzhou's lover and suddenly understood. She pointed to the stone table and benches in the backyard and, with her back to Han Muzhou and Gu Yueyue, said:
"Since you two are both a bit scared, why don't you go sit over there together?"
Han Muzhou is afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of enclosed spaces like cellars and caves. This stems from an accident involving his lover, which left Han Muzhou with a deep psychological scar, even though the original owner has recovered.
As for Gu Yueyue, she was simply timid. Although she did not believe in ghosts and gods, she was still terrified by the terrifying atmosphere. In addition, her sprained ankle made everyone take care of her and prevent her from entering the cellar.
Finally, Xu Yi and Zhao Yuan were the ones who were able to go down.
Before Xu Yi could get up and go downstairs, Gu Yueyue quickly grabbed her wrist.
"Teacher Gu?"
Xu Yi looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Gu Yueyue didn't know what to say. It was an unconscious action; her mind hadn't thought it through before her body acted.
Under the camera's lens, Gu Yueyue could only maintain a smile and quickly try to make amends.
"Xiao Xu, be careful. It's dark down there, watch your step."
"Um."
Xu Yi nodded solemnly, her expression becoming more serious.
It felt like we weren't just going to participate in a game scenario arranged by the production team, but rather like we were actually heading to a battlefield.
Gu Yueyue wanted to see Xu Yi listen to her seriously, but she didn't expect her to be so serious, which made her chuckle.
She released Xu Yi's hand and smiled, "Go ahead."
Zhao Yuan, who was already waiting at the entrance of the cellar, looked at Gu Yueyue, and then at Xu Yi. He suddenly felt his heart was in turmoil.
As Xu Yi approached, Zhao Yuan entered the cellar ahead of time.
The two held flashlights for illumination. Zhao Yuan told Xu Yi to be careful and reached out to help her as she went down the steps.
Xu Yi wanted to avoid him, and Zhao Yuan didn't say anything. The two of them walked one after the other, supporting themselves against the wall.
After descending into the cellar, I thought I would see the whole picture, but it turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. There was even a winding path inside that seemed to lead to other places.
Zhao Yuan was somewhat unsure and turned to ask Xu Yi whether they should continue on this path.
“Let’s continue. We came down here to investigate anyway,” Xu Yi suggested. “Since it’s a location arranged by the production team, at most they’ll intimidate us a little, but they won’t cause us any real harm.”
Moreover, Xu Yi had already used his divine sense to investigate, and the demonic energy here had completely disappeared.
Zhao Yuan was still somewhat frightened, and he walked slower and slower, supporting himself against the wall.
Viewers following their camera in the live stream began to cover their eyes, even though they hadn't seen anything yet, but the production team had already created the atmosphere perfectly.
