The Female Taoist Priestess's Childhood Sweetheart Is a Male CEO

Chapter 28: Cut the Peach Blossom



Chapter 28

Before going to sleep, she casually finished drawing those talismans of peace and asked He Jiaxu how to give them to him.

He Jiaxu explained that he would come over after classes the next day. Jian Xi thought since he was also studying at B University, she would deliver them tomorrow and visit her sixth senior brother. Last time, she noticed he had attracted two ill-fated romantic relationships just by his appearance, but she forgot to tell him after dealing with airport matters.

Perfect timing to help him cut off those connections!

She couldn't help it; her sixth senior brother was naturally prone to attracting those ill-fated romantic relationships, and they kept coming. It would only get better when the destined love appeared!

Interestingly, this trait was quite similar to hers, but hers was related to wealth.

Lost in her thoughts, her breathing gradually became steady.

The next day, He Qingchen still prepared breakfast and went to the company early. After Jian Xi had her breakfast and used a cleansing talisman to tidy up, she grabbed her small bag and headed out.

Today, she had the driver take the white Porsche to B University. Xu Yan had already enrolled her in driving school, and once the procedures were done, she could start learning to drive.

The driver dropped her off at B University, and He Jiaxu was already waiting at the entrance.

Though he didn't cause as big a reaction as Huo Chengxi did, it was still noticeable. People passing by the entrance occasionally turned their heads, wondering who this computer science heartthrob was waiting for.

Until Jian Xi appeared, igniting everyone's gossip.

Despite not being a B University student, Jian Xi had gained some fame there. After the incident with Huo Chengxi, where he clarified on the campus forum that she was just his junior, many still didn't believe it!

No matter how much people tried to dig into Jian Xi's information, including Xiao Jingyi, who had long harbored feelings for Huo Chengxi, there was nothing to find.

Seeing Jian Xi, He Jiaxu quickly smiled and greeted, "Xiao Qi, over here!"

His loud voice attracted even more attention to Jian Xi. She jogged a few steps to reach He Jiaxu and said, "No need to shout, I saw you."

He Jiaxu scratched his head, "Did you have breakfast? Let me take you for breakfast."

"I already ate; my brother made it for me this morning," Jian Xi replied.

Surprised, He Jiaxu asked, "My cousin? Cooking?"

"Yeah," Jian Xi couldn't understand the surprise. She lifted his chin with her hand, turned, and walked towards B University.

Last time, she only explored half of the campus before going to pick up a package.

He Jiaxu snapped back to reality and hurried after her.

Little did they know that the moment Jian Xi lifted He Jiaxu's chin was captured by someone and posted on the campus forum!

Instantly, the forum buzzed with discussions, and everyone started mentioning Huo Chengxi.

At this moment, Huo Chengxi, who was dealing with a headache, couldn't care less about the forum. Since last night, he felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint it. His intuition told him someone had done something to him!

He called Jian Xi, "Hey, Xiao Qi."

"What? You're at B University?"

"Why didn't you tell me? Where are you? I'm coming to find you."

"Alright, I'll be there soon."

Huo Chengxi sprang up from his bed in the dormitory, hastily put on his clothes, and rushed out of the room.

Inside the dorm, besides Huo Chengxi, there was another student with glasses, who was busy texting on his phone.

Qi Zheng pursed his lips, glanced at the closed door, then looked down at his phone screen. After hesitating for a moment, he typed a message on it.

[He's gone out. Just answered a call from that girl.]

On the basketball court, He Jiaxu accompanied Jian Xi to watch the game.

Jian Xi was excitedly watching, cheering whenever someone scored, which made the players on the court play even more intensely, showing off their skills.

Seeing the guys on the court starting to show off, He Jiaxu shot them a glare, reminding them that this was his cousin's sister, essentially his own family, his precious one!

With his intimidating gaze, the guys on the court toned down a bit.

Before long, Huo Chengxi arrived.

Jian Xi squinted when she saw him, thinking that this ill-fated romantic relationship was quite intense this time!

"Jiaxu, you go back first. Huo Chengxi and I have something to discuss," Jian Xi told He Jiaxu, then pulled Huo Chengxi towards a less crowded area.

Knowing their relationship, He Jiaxu didn't say anything and left. Jian Xi handed him the talismans of peace; he still needed to call them to come pick it up.

"Xiao Qi, I've been feeling something off since last night, but I can't quite put my finger on it," Huo Chengxi said.

Jian Xi was about to say that an evil sorcerer had cast a love spell on him, but before she could speak, another girl approached them.

Huo Chengxi stopped in his tracks, looking at Xiao Jingyi, his heart pounding rapidly, his gaze momentarily infatuated, but quickly returning to clarity.

"Brother Chengxi~"

"Xiao Jingyi?"

Jian Xi also stood still when he stopped, not moving.

She smirked at Xiao Jingyi, her eyes gleaming with coldness, was this girl voluntarily throwing herself into the mix?

Xiao Jingyi also glanced at Jian Xi, raising her eyebrows provocatively.

Jian Xi chuckled, how foolish!

Clearly, this girl liked her sixth senior brother and saw her as a rival. It seemed there was a reason for this ill-fated romantic relationship to go sour this time!

Huo Chengxi bit his tongue, trying to resist the strange flutter in his heart, but the more he resisted, the stronger it became.

It seemed he had found the source of his unease!

Xiao Jingyi approached, wanting to link arms with Huo Chengxi, but he took two steps back, tilting his head and shouting, "Xiao Qi, take action."

Jian Xi glanced up and down at Xiao Jingyi, her smirk gradually fading. "Tsk~ Miss, using such underhanded tactics on anyone else would be bad enough, but you just had to use them on my sixth senior brother!"

Hearing her words, Xiao Jingyi's heart skipped a beat, her smile freezing for a moment. She turned to Huo Chengxi and said, "Brother Chengxi, what is she talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Huo Chengxi looked at her without speaking, Xiao Jingyi started to panic, did they find out something?

Impossible, how could anyone know about this!

"Too bad, the spell you cast last night seems to be the first time you've met me, Sixth Senior Brother." Jian Xi lowered her head, flipping through a small bag. With a pinch of her fingers, a talisman appeared on her fingertips.

She chuckled, "Sorry to disappoint, but your spell seems to have been in vain~"

"What are you doing, stop!" Xiao Jingyi's face paled, Master had warned her about the repercussions if this spell was broken, she would suffer backlash!

She lunged towards Jian Xi.

"Too late!" Jian Xi tossed the talisman into the air. Instead of falling to the ground quickly, it hovered in mid-air.

"Chichi yangyang, sunrise in the east, I command this decree, dispel all misfortune... Break!"
