The little tortoise felt the dragon’s energy and was a little greedy. But seeing the master he had followed for a millennium, the little tortoise shook his head firmly: “Jiang Wei, don’t try to bribe me, I will never compromise.”

Jiang Wei couldn’t help laughing, poked the little tortoise’s head with his finger, and turned to look at Lin Qingyin: “Little master’s spiritual pet is quite interesting.”

“It’s quite interesting.” Lin Qingyin stretched out her hand to take the little tortoise back, and there was a little more smile in her eyes: “It has been with me for thousands of years.”

Jiang Wei was taken aback: “Thousands of years?”

The two have been to the ancient secret realm together. Although the memory of being a dragon and phoenix was blurred, they both know that they were a special existence in this world. Lin Qingyin felt that her secret could be shared with Jiang Wei.

“It followed me in my previous life.” Lin Qingyin’s voice was so soft that Jiang Wei had to hold his breath: “At first you and Fatty Wang asked me how I learned fortune-telling, I told you that it was self-taught. In fact, it was a lie. In my previous life, I was the headmaster of the divine sect in the world of cultivating immortals. I could easily see through the secrets of heaven by doing divination, but I failed the thunder tribulation. My body shattered, but my soul came to the future and fused into this body.”

Lin Qingyin didn’t know what was going on at that time, but now she understands that there was no immortal world, and auspicious beasts can no longer be born. If she forcibly ascends, she will only die.

Lin Qingyin touched the little tortoise and sighed: “This little guy has mediocre cultivation, but he insisted on carrying a thunderstorm for me. Before my soul left, he entered into the sea of my consciousness. He accompanied me here. In my previous life, I used it to deduce the secret of heaven, and now I use it to tell fortunes. It can be said that it is not only my spiritual pet but also my inseparable partner.”

“This little guy is quite loyal for it to protect you.” Jiang Wei stretched out his hand and injected a bit of dragon energy into it. The little tortoise who was dazed by Lin Qingyin’s praise felt the dragon’s energy and saw Jiang Wei’s smiling face. After returning to its senses, it realized that he had once again received someone else’s dragon energy. It immediately stomped his feet and said angrily: “Too cunning! Too treacherous!”

Even Lin Qingyin couldn’t help laughing when she saw the little tortoise’s short legs bouncing around. She reached out and pushed the little tortoise’s head back into its shell: “Don’t make trouble!”

The little tortoise kicked his legs in despair. His beautiful little master was about to be abducted by this cunning Jiang Wei.

Qian Jiajin sent off the last table of guests, raised his wrist, and glanced at his watch. It was already past eleven o’clock. Fortunately, he could still catch the last subway train at this time.

He had no spare time to change clothes, so Qian Jiajin greeted the staff and left in a hurry. The imperial capital was still lively at midnight, and there wasn’t even an empty seat in the subway. Qian Jiajin was tired and dozed off at the junction of the train with his eyes closed, completely forgetting that he had an amulet in his trousers pocket.

After two trips to the subway, it was almost midnight when we got out of the station. Only then did Qian Jiajin realize that the sky had changed. There was a smell of moist soil in it.

As soon as Qian Jiajin smelled this scent, he knew that it was going to rain heavily, so he couldn’t help quickening his pace. After leaving the subway station, he hesitated for a moment and walked directly towards the opposite Jinsheng Community.

The residential area of Qian Jiajin’s family was behind the Jinsheng residential area. He usually takes the main road, but it means that he has to go around half of the Jinsheng residential area to get to his residential area. The distance was not close, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk. As for the Jinsheng community itself, there were gates in four directions. The guards were not strict at ordinary times. If you enter directly from the south gate of the community and exit from the north gate, you can save five minutes of travel.

Usually, this time was nothing, but seeing that it was about to rain heavily, Qian Jiajin decided to take a shortcut through Jinsheng Community.

It took only a few minutes to walk from the subway station to the community, but the wind was twice as strong as when he got off the subway just now. Qian Jiajin even saw a branch of a tree being caught by the wind and falling to the ground.

“I don’t know how long the rain will last.” Qian Jiajin muttered as he ran home quickly: “I hope the rain will stop tomorrow morning, so it won’t delay my work.”

Just thinking about it, Qian Jiajin suddenly felt a heat in the base of his thigh, as if he was being burned by something, he stopped abruptly and scratched the burned place twice. Just as he was scratching his leg, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that was not fixed was blown off by the wind, and fell straight onto the road, just one meter in front of Qian Jiajin.

Qian Jiajin stared blankly at the shattered blue stone bricks under the air conditioner. If he didn’t stop just now, it would not be the blue stone bricks that will shatter but his head.

After imagining his head being smashed into pieces like watermelon, Qian Jiajin couldn’t help recalling the beautiful young lady who said to him in the private room of the restaurant at night: “You have a bloody disaster, I can help you solve it for free.” And only then did he remember the amulet that he had forgotten.

He put his hands inside his two pockets. His right hand came across something hot. He quickly took it out and found out that the hot talisman paper folded into a triangle was the talisman the young lady gave to him. If this talisman didn’t scald him just now, he would not only be covered in blood but he would be killed by this air conditioner!

Thinking of how he branded her as a liar and was full of precautions, Qian Jiajin was so regretful that he wanted to cry: “I will beg the master to come and treat her to a free meal to help me solve this. This bloody disaster is too scary!”
