“Switch the main screen to Dance Room 1,” the director instructed. “We’ll switch back here in a bit.”

Lin Qingyan’s side really didn’t offer any talking points, whether negative or positive.

Even for the sake of the program’s ratings, the director didn’t want to give her more screen time.

But for appearances, they had to.

With the camera off her,               leaned back against the wall. She tidied up her drawing board and opened her computer.

[NINE]: Ever heard of the Ji family in the City of Sijiu?

JI Xingzhi replied almost immediately.

[JI]: The Ji family? Damn, why do they have a surname that is the same as mine? Even if the tones are different, it’s not acceptable!

Si Fuqing:

Her fist clenched.

But JI Xingzhi seemed to have a good grasp of her temperament and patience, for he replied again within three seconds.

[JI]: I’ve heard of them, but never had any interactions. Do you think I’m someone who just meets whoever?

[JI]: To meet me, one needs to first bathe and offer incense for three days, and then perform the ritual of three kneels and nine bows. Only then do they get initial qualification! After that, I have to see if they meet my aesthetic standards. If not, I won’t meet them, no exceptions.

[NINE]: ?

[JI]: Of course, big brother, you can come anytime!

[JI]: Even if you have the face of a horse, I’d still welcome you on my knees!

Si Fuqing:

Her fist clenched again.

Si Fuqing lowered her eyes, pondering for a moment before typing.

[NINE]: I told you before, I suspect that not only the Zuo family has taken my luck. When you come back, help me check how many others there are.

[JI]: Ah, that’s troubling. The main issue is that too much time has passed. I estimate that at least fifteen years have gone by since the luck transfer. Even if my esteemed grandfather personally took action, he could only trace those who’ve recently used your luck.

Si Fuqing’s eyes darkened.

The JI family were Master of Yin-Yang by lineage. Although they kept a low profile, their true capabilities remained a mystery to the outside world.

The fact that the JI family could cultivate someone as young as JI Xingzhi to become a Master of Yin-Yang indicated the immense strength of Grandfather Jl.

Although he might not be the best Master of Yin-Yang in the Great Xia, he was not far from it.

Si Fuqing stroked her chin.

Years ago, she had confronted some of the JI family elders. She wondered if those old fellows were still alive.

She was rather tempted to annoy them again.

[JI]: Most importantly, when retrieving luck, it has to be done in reverse order. If the sequence is disrupted, you will be the one who suffers.

Si Fuqing raised her eyebrows.

Recently, she could distinctly feel that her luck had improved significantly.

Unlike before her awakening, when a mere disagreement with Zuo Zonghe could accidentally lead her to slit her wrist and end up in the hospital.

Now she believed what her fifth senior brother had told her—that someone with low luck could choke to death just by drinking water.

[NINE]: Your talisman worked well; my luck is starting to return.

[JI]: Excellent! When we meet, we’ll join forces and annihilate them! Starting with the Zuo family!

[JI]: Anyone who dares to bully my big brother will have to answer to me, JI Xingzhi!

Si Fuqing remained indifferent.

She was afraid that upon meeting JI Xingzhi for the first time, she would want to beat him up again—to teach him a lesson.

“Teacher Si!” Xu Xiyun called out to her excitedly at that moment. “What are we eating later? The staff asked us to place our orders now, so they can prepare it for later.”

Si Fuqing lazily made a gesture, “Fried chicken, coke, and one serving of spicy hotpot.”

Because Lin Qingyan’s side had nothing interesting to show, the director switched the main screen back to Dance Room 2.

[Oh man, a carb bomb! Fuqing, you’re gonna get chubby!]

[Enough talking, I’m ordering one too. I’m hungry.]

Xu Xiyun relayed the orders to the waiting staff outside and then turned to Si

Fuqing with an exaggerated sigh, “Teacher Si, why can’t you gain weight?”

Si Fuqing adjusted her hair, grinning broadly, “Because I’m a fairy, and you’re just a smelly man.”

Xu Xiyun:

The chat was filled with laughter.

“Little Xie, ” Si Fuqing straightened up and beckoned to him, “come here.” Xie Yu paused but obediently walked over, “Teacher Si, what’s up?”

The next second he heard Si Fuqing ask, “Don’t you think I’ve become a bit more beautiful?”

Xie Yu:

Xu Xiyun’s mouth twitched, “Teacher Si, you’re already the ceiling of beauty.”

Xie Yu carefully examined her for a moment, “You do seem a bit more beautiful. ”

“Very good,” Si Fuqing patted him on the shoulder, “now I can rest easy.”

Translator Note: Given that there are two Ji families, the initial Ji family, who are Masters of Ying-yang, as well as the aristocratic family of the Great Xia Dynasty, will be denoted as Jl. While the second Ji family, from the city of Sijiu, who remain to be denoted as Ji..
