“What’s wrong? Your uncle is in good health.”

“No, Uncle, I have a classmate…” Bai Ke wanted to say that she knew a big shot in the occult, but she felt that it was not convincing.

“It’s a friend of mine who knows medicine. He looked at your photo and said your heart might need to be examined.”

“A friend studying medicine,” Bai Ke’s uncle, Bai Cheng, said. He seemed to be driving. “I’ll find time to take a look. Go to school first. I’ll tell you if there are any results.”

“Yes,” Bai Ke replied. Although she did not believe that Qi Ying really had such powerful divination skills, it was fine to be careful.

The few of them returned to the classroom and did not speak to Zhang Ning.

There were no classes in the afternoon. Initially, they had arranged to go shopping, but they found all kinds of excuses to not go anymore.

Zhang Ning was a little depressed. Why did these people come back to isolate him after looking for Qi Ying?

Zhang Ning returned home unhappily, but today didn’t seem to be going well.

She originally wanted to practice the zither, but the pine fragrance she had used recently suddenly shattered with a bang, scattering all over the ground.

She then wanted to eat some cake. Halfway there, her cake suddenly fell to the ground.

Could it be because that little b*tch, Qi Ying, had cursed her?

She had to teach her a lesson today.

When Qi Ying returned, it was already nighttime. She had evening classes today and classes only ended at 8:30 p.m.

When she returned home, she casually took some food upstairs and saw Zhang Ning standing at the door of her room.

When Zhang Ning saw her, she reached out to hit her.

“Are you crazy?” Qi Ying avoided her hand and frowned at her.

“You cursed me yesterday, so I had a bad day. Are you really up to something?”

She stared fixedly at Qi Ying, her eyes filled with hatred.

“I didn’t do it. Mercury and Saturn have been in retrograde on your astrolabe. You’ve been very unlucky recently. Didn’t you notice?”

She kept staring at Zhang Ning with her beautiful cat eyes. Zhang Ning felt like she had been seen through. “Stop talking nonsense. You’re doing all this nonsense every day. Be careful that I don’t tell Dad and Mom and chase you out.”

Qi Ying shrugged. She did not care.

She had returned to the Zhang Clan to resolve one matter, but from the looks of it, she already had a better solution. She didn’t need to rely on the Zhang Clan anymore.

“Suit yourself.”

Zhang Ning was very uncomfortable with Qi Ying’s indifferent reaction. “Wait for me. I’ll talk to Dad and Mom later.”

Zhang Ning walked downstairs angrily.

Qi Ying pushed open the door and placed the food on the table.

She glanced at the card array on the table and pulled out a card.

It was an upright magician, which meant a beginning.

It seemed that the matter had indeed begun.

Cui Yu had just finished class when Cui Yu’s mother, Yan Mo, brought him to the Yan residence.

Yan Mo had already told the Yan family about the master. Although it was already very late, Old Master Yan still ordered Yan Mo to bring Cui Yu home.

After all, this matter concerned the future of the Yan family. They could not be careless at all.

When they arrived at the Yan family’s hall, the Yan family sat around the dining table. There were delicacies on the dining table, but everyone didn’t look like they had much of an appetite.

The butler of the Yan family was preparing food for Old Master Yan, but Old Master Yan only looked at him indifferently and did not move at all. He only sighed.

Cui Yu looked at his grandfather sitting there and felt a little sad.

Ever since that incident with his cousin, he had not seen his grandfather’s smiling face for a long time.

“Dad, at least eat a little. Let’s sit down and talk about Xiao Huai,” Yan Mo said.

The Yan family originally had two sons and a daughter. Unfortunately, the eldest son’s family passed away due to a serious illness, leaving only Yan Bin, their great-grandson.

Yan Bin and his uncle, Yan Huai, had always relied on each other.

The second son of the Yan family had no interest in business and joined the army early. He was now the commander of the military district.

The task of managing the Yan family was handed over to Yan Huai.

At that time, Yan Huai was only 18 years old, but he was already a talented person and managed the Yan family in an orderly manner.

Not only that, as soon as he became a leader, he dealt with a few forces that were against the Yan family. For a time, his reputation in Baicheng soared, and he was called “Second Master Yan.”
