Chapter 329 The Master of Metaphysics 15
"Our goal now is to accumulate merit, so behave yourself." As the female lead, Qingyu knew how powerful Yuan Ling'er was, and she was afraid that God would give her another cheat ability.
However, it is unlikely. After all, with her outstanding performance preceding her, who would be interested in Yuan Ling'er?
The proud air between Qingyu's brows washed away the plainness of her current appearance, making her look more charming, which made the woman not far away stare in amazement.
Instead, the man next to the woman frowned and pulled her back, saying, "Miaomiao, don't look around. She's skilled... If I'm not mistaken, her appearance is fake too."
He is skilled at making painted skins and other disguises. Although his current cultivation level is not high enough to see through someone's appearance at a glance, he can still guess the general idea.
A woman named Miaomiao, dressed in unusual clothes with bells jingling on her body, brightened up upon hearing this, "Senior brother, can you find a way to expose me?"
Liu Qinglong opened his mouth, looking rather helpless, "Have you forgotten what Master said? Don't cause trouble when you come out."
Miao Miao pouted. Of course she remembered her master's instructions, but she wanted to get closer to Qingyu when she saw her. This instinctive closeness made her curious about what Qingyu's true appearance was like.
Seeing Miao Miao's defiant expression, Liu Qinglong had no choice but to unleash his trump card, "How about I help you after we've finished our business?"
Miao Miao's eyes widened, and she broke into a big smile, her expression innocent and girlish. "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
The two then turned and left. At the same time, Qingyu's clear eyes swept over their backs and then quickly passed by.

When Xie Wending arrived at the Yuan family, the Yuan family saw him as if he were their savior, exclaiming, "Wending, you've come!"
Mr. Yuan stepped forward with a smile. Unlike the nouveau riche he was used to, Mr. Yuan had the appearance of a weak scholar, with a thin figure. However, the scheming and greed in his eyes were what Xie Wending hated most.
Xie Wending had only agreed to contact Yuan Ling'er because of his parents' words. With Yuan Ling'er's care and contact during this time, he had developed some feelings for her, otherwise he wouldn't have come over.
But what he wants to know most right now is whether Yuan Ling'er really knows those methods.
"What happened? I didn't dare to ask on the phone." Xie Wending said, glancing at Yuan Ling'er, who was standing silently beside him.
Yuan Ling'er pursed her lips, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
In both her past and present lives, she was always proud in front of Xie Wending. Even when her family faced difficulties in her past life, she overcame them on her own.
She knew in advance that something bad was going to happen at home, but she subconsciously ignored it.
The blow Qingyu dealt her that day was devastating; she feared that if she changed the plot at will, it would lead to even more different outcomes.
For example, she will never get the jade pendant.
How is that possible?
"I have no idea……"
Xie Wending was startled and felt that Yuan Ling'er was acting strangely. However, he did not press her for answers. Instead, he sought out Yuan's father to find out what was going on.
The Yuan family's company had been thriving until yesterday when a scandal suddenly broke out, causing the company's stock to plummet and the shareholders to quarrel with each other, unwilling to sit down and have a proper talk.
Meanwhile, various things, both big and small, also occurred...
"It all happened overnight..." Mr. Yuan gave a bitter smile, then hurriedly said, "Wending, I need your help this time!"
Xie Wending's expression changed slightly, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
It's not that he didn't want to help, but rather that he himself needed the Yuan family's help in the first place!
How come it's reversed now?
After a long silence, seeing that no one spoke, Yuan's father guessed Xie Wending's thoughts and said with a complicated expression, "I won't ask you to help too much, just get through this difficult time."
Xie Wending had been considering this, and upon hearing this, he stopped pretending and said in a low, bitter voice, "But the company has only recently stabilized, and I haven't..."
"I heard your sister has connections with the Qian family. I wonder if it's possible?" Mr. Yuan was going all out and asked directly.
Yuan Ling'er's eyes flickered, and she asked casually, "The Qian family? What happened to the Qian family?"
In reality, her heart was in her throat. In her previous life, she was the one who resolved the Qian family's affairs. Back then, she had put in a lot of effort to get on the Qian family's side.
This life...
"The Qian family had some trouble, but my sister resolved it." Xie Wending was completely unfazed by this kind of thing, and he subconsciously straightened his back and smiled slightly. "It's not a big deal, she's been exposed to this kind of thing since she was little... but this is all thanks to my sister, I don't know the Qian family."
He paused, then looked at Yuan Ling'er, who was standing to the side in a daze, and tentatively asked, "I heard that Ling'er also knows some magic..."
These words brought Yuan Ling'er back to her senses. She quickly lowered her head to hide the disbelief in her eyes, her body trembling slightly.
It actually happened...
It's Qingyu!
How could this be?! What is this woman trying to do? She stole my jade pendant, does she also want to steal my opportunity?
At this moment, Yuan Ling'er finally felt fear!
"Ling'er?"
Noticing that everyone's eyes were on her, Yuan Ling'er smiled faintly, "I only know a little... but two of my friends are arriving soon, Father, why don't we wait a little longer?"
She didn't want to rely on the Xie family, nor did she want to make things difficult for Xie Wending; she still wanted to use them to get the jade pendant back.
Since she had already called out the people there beforehand, she figured she might as well use them.
"Friends?" Mr. Yuan looked at his daughter with suspicion, but when she nodded, he still had doubts.
Xie Wending, however, narrowed his eyes slightly, showing interest. "What friend? May I meet them?"
Yuan Ling'er's smile froze. "Okay."
Oh well, there's nothing Xie Wending can do anyway.
Although Xie Wending's help was not needed for the time being, Yuan's father did not neglect him, but instead had Yuan Ling'er accompany him to dinner.
He then made an excuse to leave.
In the dim light, the two were lost in their own thoughts. Xie Wending kept secretly observing Yuan Ling'er, and the more he looked, the more he felt that she was definitely not simple.
There were rumors before that this girl was a brainless rich girl, but now, in terms of her words, actions, and everything else, she's no less capable than an ordinary heiress. If they really get married...
It's not impossible.
"Thank you so much for taking care of me at the hospital last time," Xie Wending said gently.
Yuan Ling'er smiled without saying a word, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. After spending so many years together in her previous life, how could she not tell whether Xie Wending's feelings were genuine or feigned?
At this moment, I feel rather bored.
Well, they really don't know each other very well, which is normal, right?

Qingyu's reputation in the entertainment industry is well-deserved, and with the emergence of demons and monsters in the world, many places have begun to experience supernatural and inexplicable events.
In order to appease the public, the government usually suppresses the matter forcefully, but secretly sends people to resolve it.
As far as Qingyu knew, people in the Xuanmen department would take orders from time to time—of course, this was all based on what Muyin and Zhou Zhanghui had told her.
