Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Inviting Li Sangyu to the Zhao Family as a Guest (2)

Li Sangyu was very happy after receiving the invitation from the Zhao family. She had stayed on Longhu Mountain all this time and had never had the chance to subdue monsters and eliminate ghosts. This assignment from the Zhao family had been her first mission.

Li Sangyu had been very happy ever since she came back from the Zhao family. Although she was disgusted by that woman surnamed Chi, she still remembered that the Zhao family didn’t give her a single penny. Plus, only she had been invited this time; the Zhao family didn’t inform or plan to invite that Chi woman.

That put Li Sangyu in an even better mood, so she agreed immediately when she received the dinner invitation.

She paid her respects to Perfected Zhang before she went out.

The second time she went to the Zhao residence, she was warmly welcomed by the father and daughter of the Zhao family. Zhao Hongmei was hoping that Li Sangyu would give her and Official Song more help, so she was very nice and warm.

“Celestial Master Li, you really came! Thank you so much for what happened before. Official Song and I have been so happy these days because of you, Celestial Master Li!” Zhao Hongmei took Li Sangyu’s hand and led her to her room to pick a few pieces of jewelry.

Li Sangyu was born on Longhu Mountain, but she had been orphaned and was picked up by Perfected Zhang when she was a baby. Perfected Zhang treated her very well, and so did her senior and junior brothers on Longhu Mountain, but that was purely in terms of feelings.

Longhu Mountain’s capital chain depended on the Qi family, so how could there be any money to buy precious jewelry for Li Sangyu?

And how could a woman not like jewelry? When Zhao Hongmei brought Li Sangyu into the room to pick out jewelry, she was simply dazzled and drooled.

Li Sangyu had been reserved as a Celestial Master at first, but when Zhao Hongmei insisted on thanking her with jewelry, Li Sangyu took it.

Seeing that she had accepted it, Zhao Hongmei’s eyes shifted and she suddenly said, “Celestial Master Li, can you give me a few more of that talisman to ward off yin energy which you gave to me last time?”

It had to be said that there was no such thing as a free lunch; Li Sangyu thus had to take out a few more talismans for warding off yin energy.

Zhao Hongmei was overjoyed when she took them, but only for a moment. Zhao Hongmei’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears and her eyes turned red. Li Sangyu found Zhao Hongmei more and more pleasing to the eye. Seeing her teary eyes, she asked hurriedly, “Miss Zhao, what’s wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

Zhao Hongmei said, “Celestial Master Li, I think you’re a particularly good person and I like you a lot. You can just call me Hongmei from now on. We’ll be good sisters from now on. I wonder if Celestial Master Li will give me this chance!

“I admire and like you the most now, Celestial Master Li. I can see that you are the truly capable one, unlike that woman last time, who was so fake and didn’t know anything. You’re still the best, Celestial Master Li. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be living such a good life with Official Song now!”

Li Sangyu was flattered by Zhao Hongmei. If Zhao Hongmei had talked about something else, she might not have been so willing to get close to her, let alone be a good sister.

Li Sangyu had always thought that she was no ordinary person, so how could she treat Zhao Hongmei, who was from a humble family, as a good sister?

But when she heard Zhao Hongmei step on that Chi woman and flatter Li Sangyu, she was in a very good mood. She didn’t directly reject Zhao Hongmei calling her “sister,” but pretended to be reserved. “How am I that good? In fact, although that Celestial Master Chi before is a grassroots Celestial Master, she’s pretty good!”

Although Zhao Hongmei had average looks, she was very good at socializing and reading people’s expressions. Seeing Li Sangyu talk about how good Celestial Master Chi was on the surface, but with a disdainful look in her eyes, Zhao Hongmei curled her lip and said, “Celestial Master Li, you’re just being modest. I know that you were the one who handled my matter last time. If it wasn’t for you, I might still be unconscious right now. That woman was purely trying to steal your credit. It’s not just me, but my parents too! To my family, you are the real ‘Celestial Master’! I’m telling the truth!”
