The Young Matriarch

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Ah, the Cinnabar Mole
 

Duan Feihan remained impassive, “Why do you like red?”

He knew Bai Chuwei liked red roses, which were also red.

After eating the last small tangyuan, Bai Chuwei tugged at the corner of her mouth and said casually, “Because I’ve seen someone who looks the best in red.”

Duan Feihan’s lips unconsciously tightened.

Heh, a cinnabar mole.

There was only a half-hour break, and after finishing her late-night snack, Bai Chuwei was ready to return, when her cellphone vibrated—it was from the cultivation group she had joined earlier.

[Hengshan Resident: @all members, dear fellow Daoists, please help me promote the College Entrance Exam Talisman!]

[Hengshan Resident: I’ve made three, and I’m asking for your help to spread the word—the recent days have been tough!]

The Hengshan Resident had been quite unlucky lately; the Hongmeng Auction House had stopped selling the Spirit Talismans he crafted, and his shop sign had been smashed as well.

The Tong Family aunt and nephew bought his Relationship Smoothness Talisman, but Tong Yunrou failed to marry into the Duan Family, almost becoming the laughingstock of the whole Haicheng!

Who else would buy his Spirit Talismans?

Not a single person!

With the college entrance exams just two or three days away, he figured he could make a bit of money selling College Entrance Exam Talismans beforehand.

Bai Chuwei raised an eyebrow, amused.

Had the Hengshan Resident gone mad? Daring to meddle with the college entrance exams?

Before Bai Chuwei had time to type, Wuming, who had been offline, came online and sent a message: “@Hengshan Resident, protective charms are not allowed in the college entrance exams.”

[Hengshan Resident: Wuming, rest assured, this is a Jade Talisman, which can be worn as jade ornaments during the exams.]

[Wuming: Be careful of drawing the Unnatural Management Bureau’s attention. Don’t sell it, that’s all I’ll say.]

Bai Chuwei couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly; this group member named Wuming… seemed to have some real skills.

If the old ancestor is considered the most prestigious person in the entire cultivation group, then Wuming, who only comes online occasionally, would be second!

The Hengshan Resident seemed hesitant, but thinking of the many parents of students who went to the mountain to pray to the Buddha and those buying consecrated jade pendants, he let go of his reservations.

Wuming’s profile picture had been greyed out while he was offline, but as soon as he came online, it was colored.

His profile picture was an ancient painting with somewhat blurry pixels; Bai Chuwei felt like she had seen it somewhere before, so she directly messaged Wuming privately.

[Old Ancestor: Hello, could you tell me which ancient painting is in your profile picture?]

One second… two seconds… three seconds passed…

Bai Chuwei watched as the other party went offline, and her face soured.

She had never seen anyone who didn’t give the old ancestor face, not even replying to a private message.

Let’s see if they turn to her for help later!

With the college entrance exams only two days away, the number of parents flocking to various mountain temples to pray for the blessing of the Wenqu Star continued to grow.

Duan Xiuhao had inquired and knew that the Hengshan Resident lived halfway up the very mountain!

Duan Xiuhao had heard of the Hengshan Resident; his Spirit Talismans could sell for over a million.

Upon entering, he indeed saw an elderly man in a black robe, with the air of an immortal, which made Duan Xiuhao approach him even more respectfully.

“Hello, Hengshan Resident, I’ve come to ask for two peace charms for a smooth college entrance exam.”

Upon hearing that a customer had arrived, the Hengshan Resident was delighted, yet he maintained a detached demeanor, “Two? Unfortunately, I only have one Jade Talisman left.”

Duan Xiuhao hesitated, only one left?

But he had two sons!

He didn’t like Duan Xingye much, but after all, he was his son too, and of course, he hoped he would score well.
