Chapter 2: The Pheasant Becomes a Phoenix
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Knock knock knock."
After Jin Xi sent out her last message, there was a rapid knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Butler Fang.
"It's getting late, young miss. Are you done packing?" Butler Fang said impatiently. He felt that Jin Xi was dawdling. He casually glanced at the old phone in Jin Xi's hand, his eyes full of disdain.
"Young miss, please leave the phone. The Jin family has power and money. We will give you a better phone when we enter the city," Butler Fang said proudly, as if he was not talking about the Jin family, but his family.
Jin Xi looked up, her dark eyes glimmered mysteriously, "Butler Fang, are you giving me orders?"
"No, I…" Butler Fang wanted to continue, but when he met Jin Xi's cold eyes, he swallowed his words. This girl was indeed wild!
After packing her luggage, Jin Xi carried her cloth bag and walked towards the black car. The surrounding villagers were whispering to each other on the side of the street.
"Oh, she's going to the city. Even pheasants can become phoenixes!"
"She should have left long ago. This kind of person is a disaster wherever she goes!"
"That's right! If it wasn't for her, Mingyue Village would be so peaceful!"
At this moment, Jin Xi stopped in her tracks and smiled. She turned around and said, "how about I stay here and accompany you instead of going to the city?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers were stunned. Then, as if they had seen a terrifying monster, they all ran away.
Seeing the villagers running away, Jin Xi sneered. It seemed that she would never have to return to Mingyue Village again.
…
On the mountain road, a fleet of luxury cars appeared at an untimely moment. Perhaps they were not used to the terrain, so they drove extremely slowly on the road.
In the car, Wu Zhou complained, "fourth brother, did we go the wrong way? How could a master of metaphysics be in such a remote place?"
"I'm seriously suspecting that those people on the forum are lying. How dare they say this master can resuscitate the dead and decide on others' fate."
"F * ck! If the master is really that powerful, I'll eat dog sh * t on a livestream!"
"Shut up!" A sharp voice came from the back seat.
Wu Zhou immediately shut his mouth and looked at a cold-looking man from the rearview mirror. The man had a flat nose, thin lips and thick eyebrows. He crossed his long legs, and a silent and cold aura lingered around him.
Wu Zhou felt a chill run down his back. He braced himself and asked, "how's your grandmother's health recently? "
About a month ago, the old lady of the Zhong family had contracted a strange disease. The Zhong family had asked experts and famous doctors from all over the country, but they had no clue about the disease. At this time, someone suggested that they try a metaphysical method. In a desperate attempt, they went to a forum about metaphysics for advice. They didn't expect that someone said they could cure her, and the person was a master with the highest price. Zhong Yihan felt that it was a scam, so he asked Wu Zhou to investigate this so-called master. In the end, he only managed to get a location and nothing else, not even the gender. In this era of advanced technology, such a person was even more mysterious than aliens.
"Look, there's a car," Wu Zhou suddenly said excitedly. He couldn't be blamed for losing his composure. They had been driving for so long, but this was the first car they had encountered.
Zhong Yihan, who was in the back seat, frowned slightly. After a long while, he said coldly, "go and ask."
Wu Zhou stepped on the brakes and blocked the person's car. He lowered the window and stretched his head out to ask, "hey, may I ask you about directions?"
The window of the black car rolled down slowly, revealing a fair face.
Wu Zhou sighed to himself. It was actually a girl, and a beauty at that! He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and his heart was beating wildly. She had moon-like brows and starry eyes. Her facial features were exquisite. There was no trace of makeup on her face, but she was beautiful. She had a unique air around her that he'd never felt before. She was like a goddess who lived in seclusion in the depths of the forest, ethereal and sacred.
"May I ask if you know where Fengxian Mountain is?" Wu Zhou was so nervous that he stuttered.
Unfortunately, she did not seem to be interested in him. Instead, her gaze fell on Zhong Yihan in the back seat. The man's facial features were well-defined, and he was dressed in an extraordinary suit. The suit was tailored to fit him, and the cuffs were decorated with sapphire cufflinks. His every move revealed an elegant and stern aura.
