Chapter 79: Your circle is really messy

Chapter 79: Your circle is really messy

“About ten or so years ago, a couple came to me after a long and winding search. They hoped I could help them find their child, a daughter who had been stolen by a nanny when she was just one month old after birth.” Realman Qingxuan looked at Pei Ye and White Impermanence, neither of whom asked anything, and he took the initiative to continue, “When that couple found me, the child had already been missing for more than ten years. I performed a ritual and divination, but the result was incomprehensible.”

At that time, Realman Qingxuan was already considered an expert in the mystical world.

Yet he could not locate the girl at all.

When he calculated her birth chart, the divination showed that she was facing an extremely dangerous fatal tribulation.

When Realman Qingxuan told the couple the truth, they nearly collapsed.

However, heaven leaves a path, and things had not yet reached an irreversible point.

“Although I could not find the client’s daughter, I did calculate her destiny. Her fate was extremely good, the kind of supreme fortune that can turn danger into safety even in the worst situations,” Realman Qingxuan said, his clear eyes showing a trace of shame at this point. He felt deeply guilty.

Even though there was no progress, Realman Qingxuan never dropped the matter.

Whenever he had time, he would check again and recalculate the infant girl’s fate, but the results only made him more confused.

The divination always showed a fatal tribulation, but there was never any follow up.

After so many years, he still did not know whether the girl had safely survived her tribulation or already died.

Some time ago, he performed another divination, and this time the result finally changed. He had thought there might be a turning point.

He never expected that what he saw would be the dead soul of the client’s daughter.

“Based on the timing, when the client first came to me, she should have already met with misfortune. Her life force was stolen and she was murdered.”

Qin Jie’s fate and life path had been forcibly extended onto Bai Jia through a secret technique. No wonder the divination results were so strange.

Mentioning this, Realman Qingxuan sighed repeatedly, filled with regret and guilt.

The female ghost Qin Jie was completely stunned as well.

Bai Jia, who was bound by Pei Ye’s talisman, was even more terrified, unable to speak at all.

“Master, you are saying that I am…”

The female ghost Qin Jie finally stopped shrinking in the corner. Gathering courage the size of a chicken liver, she carefully moved two steps closer to Realman Qingxuan.

Realman Qingxuan nodded heavily. “Yes, you are the daughter of my client. Since you were stolen and sold, they have never given up searching for you.”

Qin Jie stood there blankly.

She looked like she had lost all sense of direction, not at all like a ferocious ghost, more like a pitiful child who had been bullied.

“How could this be?”

Realman Qingxuan said, “I will contact them later.”

Qin Jie quickly interrupted.

“Wait, Master, can you not tell them?”

Realman Qingxuan asked her, “Why?”

The female ghost lowered her head and said nothing.

She twisted the corner of her damp clothes with her fingers, her pitch black ghostly eyes filled with embarrassment.

Qin Jie herself could not explain why she did not want to meet her biological parents.

If she had to give a reason, it was probably that she did not want them to see her dead form.

If what Realman Qingxuan said was true, they had spent so many years never giving up on her, always believing their daughter was still alive. If they suddenly learned she was dead, and in such a miserable way, how devastated would they be.

Qin Jie could not bear to imagine that scene.

Even from the perspective of a stranger, it would still be unbearable.

“I am afraid they will not be able to take it. Let’s forget it…”

Pei Ye suddenly interjected.

“You seem to have misunderstood something.”

Qin Jie looked up at her, then seemed to recall something and quickly lowered her head again, trembling.

“Misunderstood what?”

Pei Ye said, “In your memory, that so called Bai Jia mother said your parents are ten generation good people. Do you know what that means? As long as they do not do anything stupid, they will have wealth and honor all their lives without trouble. If they are even slightly ambitious, building a large fortune would be effortless. Your parents are rich and have connections with Realman Qingxuan. Getting basic talismans like an opening eye talisman would not be difficult. They can see you, talk to you, and even have a family reunion. Frankly speaking, whether you are dead or alive probably does not make much difference.”

Qin Jie: “…”

Realman Qingxuan: “…”

The logic made sense, but the boundary between life and death still existed.

A living daughter was still better than a cold ghost daughter.

Pei Ye continued, “If your parents are rich and powerful, then killing Bai Jia would also have a higher success rate, right? Even if they cannot kill him, they can still make him pay a heavy price. That money could then be used to buy spiritual pills from Celestial Masters to nourish a ghost infant soul…”

Qin Jie was tempted.

“By the way, who is Qin Jie’s father?”

Realman Qingxuan subconsciously replied, “The founder of Bai Long Culture Group, Mr. Yu Jianlong.”

None of the people who did not work in the entertainment industry recognized the name, and Qin Jie only felt that her biological father sounded impressive.

Ye Wei, Bai Jia, and the entertainment industry Celestial Master all widened their eyes in shock, almost popping them out of their sockets.

Yu Jianlong of Bai Long Culture Group?

“Is he very powerful?”

Ye Wei forced a dry laugh. “Does the master know how Bai Jia became the two hundred billion movie emperor?”

“How?”

Ye Wei said, “Bai Jia is the adopted son of the Bai Long Culture Group boss, half a young master. It is said that the boss felt an instant connection with him. So Bai Jia climbed the ladder and treated them like real parents, flattering them thoroughly, and became their godson. Those two were extremely good to him, basically sending all the scripts with breakout potential straight to him.”

Bai Long Culture Group was one of the dominant forces in the entertainment industry.

With that kind of backing, Bai Jia had access to top tier resources.

Yu Jianlong was also a famously successful investor. Everything he touched made money.

With his support, Bai Jia entered productions with funding early on, and that was how the two hundred billion figure was built.

Ye Wei added more gossip. “But their relationship has cooled in the past two years. There were rumors that Bai Jia used spirit raising tricks to attract wealth, which confused the couple. After backlash from those spirits, they stopped treating him as well as before. Thinking about it carefully, the time they started drifting apart seems to match when Qin Jie woke up.”

Some entertainment bloggers even speculated that Bai Jia was their kept lover toy.

Now it seemed the couple probably really treated him like a child.

Their biological daughter Qin Jie’s fate and life had been transferred onto Bai Jia. And they were ten generation good people, so maybe they had some kind of spiritual connection.

The more Ye Wei thought about it, the more her imagination ran wild.

Pei Ye: “…”

Your circle is really messy.

Meanwhile, Bai Jia was frantic.

No one understood better than him how Yu Jianlong and his wife behaved, and how guilty they felt toward their long lost daughter.

If Qin Jie really was their daughter, even if he insisted he did not kill anyone, his career in the entertainment industry would be over.

The reason Bai Jia could monopolize such a huge cake was not his own ability alone. Most of it came from the protection of Yu Jianlong and his wife.

No.

He absolutely could not end like this.
