When Rong Lan heard Si Mo mention the name Qing Zhi, she knew that what was coming had finally come.
Her troublesome little sister Qing Zhi had actually followed her here.
What annoyed the fox the most was that her cultivation had not fully recovered, while Qing Zhi had been practicing with evil means for more than a month. Chances were that she couldn't beat Qing Zhi at the moment.
The busy weekend passed in a blink of an eye.
On Monday morning, Rong Lan and Chu Hengyuan, the husband and wife, rarely went out together.
One was going to the fortune - telling house, and the other was going to report to the Chu Group.
Chu Hengyuan started to feel unhappy as soon as he put on that formal suit. Unfortunately, Father Chu was so afraid that he would run away that he specially sent a driver to wait for him at the community gate. He couldn't even delay on the way and be late on purpose to disappoint his father.
Rong Lan reluctantly saw her brother off on the car sent by Father Chu. Then she walked unhurriedly towards the fortune - telling house.
"Little fox, you're late." Hearing the tinkling of the wind chimes, Si Mo, sitting with his back to the door, didn't even turn his head and said in a flat tone.
Rong Lan, who stepped into the fortune - telling house at 9:42, tilted her head and explained, "It's my brother's first day at the Chu Group. I saw him off, so I'm late."
"Going to work at the Chu Group?" Si Mo looked at the little fox with drooping ears, suspecting that he had misheard.
With that bad fate on Chu Hengyuan, how dare he go to work at the Chu Group?
Wasn't he afraid that after working for a while, he would amass a fortune and then end up in the hospital?
"Yeah." Rong Lan dragged her heavy legs to her exclusive master's seat and sat down. She lay on the table and sighed heavily, "I won't be able to eat delicious roast chicken as soon as I get home at night. My brother will definitely get home later than me."
Just thinking about this made her extremely sad.
So when she went out with Chu Hengyuan, both of them had a gloomy look on their faces.
Si Mo twitched the corner of his mouth as he watched the little fox sink into grief. It turned out that she was listless because of the roast chicken. He had thought she was worried that Chu Hengyuan would be bullied at the Chu Group.
"Little fox, have you decided when to deal with Qing Zhi?" Si Mo asked. "I've already set up the formation for you. You can take action whenever you want. As long as I activate the formation, no matter how intense your fight is, it won't affect ordinary humans."
Rong Lan sighed faintly. She was still immersed in the sadness of not being able to see freshly - baked roast chicken when she got home at night, and Si Mo threw a more sorrowful topic at her. It was really...
"I've decided. I'll deal with her today." She sat up and stroked the fur on her fox ears.
"Take action today?" Even Si Mo was startled by the little fox's eagerness. "Are you sure it's today? Pardon me for saying so, but you can't beat that fox named Qing Zhi now."
"Just today!" Rong Lan nodded. This was a decision she had made after thinking deeply all night. "If I really can't beat her, don't you still have my back? I've already thought it through. I'll go first and have a hearty fight with her. Then you help me beat her up. When you've worn her down to her last breath, I'll kill her myself!"
Si Mo: "..." This idea was perfect, but when the fight actually started, things might not go according to the little fox's script.
"Why does it have to be today?" Si Mo sighed inwardly. Although he didn't understand the little fox, he had already started to plan how to activate the formation when they took action.
"I don't want to drag this out, and I don't want to give her a chance to hurt the people around me." Since Qing Zhi had resorted to evil means to cultivate faster, there was no telling that she wouldn't go crazy and try to kill the people Rong Lan cared about.
Moreover, to be honest, there were quite a few people who had grudges against her in this world. What if Qing Zhi colluded with someone as despicable as Chu Chuan...
Things would become extremely troublesome.
The little fox was gearing up to deal with the wayward fox sister.
Si Mo looked at the eager little fox and felt extremely helpless, but he still chose to respect her decision.
After all, if he was sure that the person who had almost killed him was wandering around him, he might not be able to resist taking action regardless of the consequences.
"Alright, since we've decided to take action today, let's go!" The little fox stood up excitedly.
Si Mo's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately held her down. "Wait! We'll go this afternoon! Give me some time. I'll make you a talisman!"
He was just afraid that things wouldn't go as she had expected. If something unexpected happened, she should at least be able to save her own life. After all, she was his only friend in this world.
To focus on making the talisman, Si Mo hung a sign saying "Closed for Business" at the fortune - telling house door. Then he went to a nearby antique store and picked out an old jade pendant.
"Little fox, you should give me a raise after this is over." Si Mo sighed.
Buying an antique jade pendant had emptied all his savings in the bank card. He was back to the time before he met the little fox, penniless.
Protecting friends cost too much these days.
Rong Lan coughed lightly and waved her hand boldly. "Sure! Anyway, my brother will have a salary from now on, and my financial pressure will be much less."
Two hours later, Si Mo handed Rong Lan a jade pendant with layers of formations on it. "Alright, put it on."
Rong Lan took the jade pendant as he said and put it on her neck. To be on the safe side, she even tied a knot that couldn't be undone easily, for fear that Qing Zhi would know that this jade pendant was a good thing and deliberately knock it off her.
The two had lunch at the fortune - telling house and then closed the door and set off for the forest park.
Since they were going to use the invisibility spell anyway, they simply used the teleportation spell this time. According to the location given by Si Mo, they directly appeared in front of Qing Zhi without any delay.
After teleporting there, Si Mo looked down at the formation he had set up, then looked up at the fox standing in the middle of the formation and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Is this... coming here on her own initiative?"
Rong Lan saw the little girl who was smiling brightly at her as before. She stroked her full stomach, showing neither sadness nor joy, and didn't take the initiative to speak.
"Sister, long time no see." Qing Zhi waved enthusiastically to Rong Lan.
Rong Lan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and didn't respond to the "sister" that Qing Zhi had called.
Si Mo thought that Qing Zhi would also greet him, but unexpectedly, Qing Zhi didn't even dare to look at him. Her eyes fell on him inadvertently and then quickly shifted away.
"I knew sister would come to find me today." Qing Zhi walked forward two steps with the ghosts behind her. She was smiling coquettishly. "Sister, look. Isn't the ghost girl behind me your acquaintance? Do you want to say hello?"
Rong Lan's eyes met those of the ghost Bai Rong Lan. Both of them were equally cold. Neither of them took the initiative to speak. After looking at each other for three seconds, they shifted their gazes.
