Hearing that, Leng Xiaoyao was sure that Shen Yamei was aware of the problem with this jade pendant. Shen Yamei intended to harm Shen Xiyin, but couldn’t see its difference.
Her reaction after seeing the jade pendant proved everything.
Afterwards, the man emotionally replied on the other side of the phone. “How is that possible?”
“Why would I lie to you? I met Shen Xiyin today. I asked her how long she has worn the jade pendant. She said she has worn it for more than half a month,” Shen Yamei said.
!!
Lu Laosan was surprised, because it was impossible. Many people had gotten weak and had nightmares every night after being affected by the evil power of this jade pendant.
Before Lu Laosan said anything, Shen Yamei asked impatiently, “Say something! Did you fool me? Lu Laosan, I gave you a lot of money!”
“I didn’t fool you. If I did, I wouldn’t answer your call. I have witnessed the effect of this jade pendant before. It can make people weak and have nightmares,” Lu Laosan said.
“You told me that, but I don’t see it. How should I know whether it’s true?” Shen Yamei said. At the beginning, she believed it, but now she began to doubt it. “Calm down. I’ll go see Shen Xiyin to make sure,” Lu Laosan said. Whether he had fooled Shen Yamei wasn’t important. He wanted to know what had happened and why Shen Xiyin wasn’t affected by the evil power.
“Great, you must give me an explanation today,” Shen Yamei said.
“No problem.” Lu Laosan replied. “But you should tell me where Shen Xiyin is right now.”
“She’s in XX shopping mall. I met her at XX restaurant. She should be finished now and must be shopping,” Shen Yamei said.
“Great, I’ll go to see her right now,” Lu Laosan said, then hung up the call with Shen Yamei. Without delay, he went out to find Shen Xiyin.
After hearing their plan, Leng Xiaoyao told Shen Xiyin. Shen Xiyin asked Leng Xiaoyao what she should do next.
She could only rely on Leng Xiaoyao now because she had no idea what to do.
“Our target isn’t just Shen Yamei, it is also the person behind this jade pendant. So it’s a good thing that the man is coming to see us. Even if he doesn’t show up, I’ll go to see him! I think we can just continue to hang out,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“No problem.” Shen Xiyin answered. She would listen to whatever Leng Xiaoyao said.
About forty minutes later, Leng Xiaoyao sensed a touch of evil power. She immediately realized that the man was here.
The evil power wasn’t strong, which meant the man’s level wasn’t high.
After ten minutes, Lu Laosan found Shen Xiyin. What surprised him was that there wasn’t any evil power around the jade pendant hanging on Shen Xiyin’s neck.
What happened?
Lu Laosan wasn’t just surprised, he was also confused.
Was the evil power removed from the jade pendant by a master, or was this jade pendant not the same one?
Because the design of jade wasn’t unique, it was normal if there was a similar one. Lu Laosan didn’t think the evil power was removed by a master. Although there were cultivators in this world, it wasn’t easy to meet them. While Lu Laosan observed Shen Xiyin, Leng Xiaoyao observed him too.
Lu Laosan wasn’t a cultivator, he was a practitioner. Some people were born with special abilities, so they could learn magical powers.
Lu Laosan was one of them, but he joined the Evil Practice.
The Evil Practice was much easier than the Good Practice, so some people chose to join the Evil Practice after failing to be a good cultivator.
After observing for a while, Lu Laosan walked straight towards Shen Xiyin. Leng Xiaoyao said nothing and waited to see what he was going to do.
When Lu Laosan was closer, he pretended to give Shen Xiyin a glance by accident. Then he shouted in surprise, “Oh, t-this jade pendant… Miss, can you tell me where you got this jade pendant? It looks the same as the one my wife lost a while ago.”
Shen Xiyin was struck dumb for a second, but didn’t doubt whether he was Lu Laosan. She replied honestly. “My aunt gave this jade pendant to me.”
“Oh, I understand.” Lu Laosan looked more confused. Since it was given to her by Shen Yamei, why wasn’t there any evil power now?
He couldn’t directly ask Shen Xiyin, so he said nothing else.
“I’m sorry.”
After that, Lu Laosan walked away.
When Lu Laosan was gone, Leng Xiaoyao said to Shen Xiyin, “That man is Lu Laosan. He could feel that there isn’t evil power on this jade pendant, so he must think it’s not the same one. So he deliberately asked you that.”
“Oh, he’s Lu Laosan?” Shen Xiyin was scared, because she knew the jade pendant was from Lu Laosan. Lu Laosan wasn’t an ordinary man, so Shen Xiyin was afraid of him.
If she had known that he was Lu Laosan earlier, she wouldn’t have been so calm. Even now she was still a little scared in retrospect.
After seeing Lu Laosan, Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin stopped hanging out and went back to the Shen family’s mansion.
Leng Xiaoyao decided to deal with Lu Laosan at night. She wouldn’t rush to stop him right now.
When Lu Laosan walked out of the shopping mall, he didn’t contact Shen Yamei immediately because he hadn’t figured it out yet.
Before long, Shen Yamei called him, so Lu Laosan had to pick it up.
“Lu Laosan, how is it?” asked Shen Yamei.
“I’m not clear about it yet. I don’t think it’s the same jade pendant. Didn’t I tell you the jade pendant is covered with evil power? This one isn’t,” Lu Laosan said.
“What? It’s not covered in evil power? Does it mean that it’s harmless?” Shen Yamei couldn’t accept it.
“Yes,” Lu Laosan said.
“If I can’t harm Shen Xiyin, that’ll be a total waste of my money! You must figure out a way out to cause Shen Xiyin some trouble. Otherwise my daughter will never forgive me,” Shen Yamei said.
“What do you want to do to Shen Xiyin?” asked Lu Laosan. Since the jade pendant wasn’t useful and he failed to help Shen Yamei, he obviously couldn’t just leave. Otherwise, Shen Yamei would expose his secret and he would be in trouble..
