Erlang said excitedly, "You're talking nonsense! Bu Yi Tianshi isn't like that at all! Besides, when my wallet was stolen, I was at a different station, not Pingcheng Station."
"Bu Yi Tianshi boarded the train at Pingcheng Station! There's no way he could have seen it!"
Others chimed in.
That's right!
If they boarded at different stations, how could Bu Yi Tianshi have seen it so coincidentally?
"Who knows if you're working together? Your mouths can say whatever you want. Stop bothering us!" Chen Jie said impolitely.
If Zhang Xinyan were truly afflicted by malevolent energy, Chen Jie would have acted already.
Others didn't understand, but how could Chen Jie not know Bu Yi Tianshi had ill intentions?
Erlang, feeling misunderstood, pointed at Chen Jie excitedly, "You're being foolish! Your own girlfriend is in danger, and you won't let others help!"
"I am foolish, then. If you're willing to be scammed, that's your business. Don't drag my girlfriend into it!" Chen Jie said calmly.
Seeing Chen Jie call her his girlfriend repeatedly, Zhang Xinyan's face lit up with a smile.
She remained silent.
"You..."
As Erlang was about to say more, Bu Yi Tianshi waved his hand, "He does have a point. I might have known about your stolen wallet beforehand, so it's normal to be suspected."
"But..." Erlang still wanted to say something.
Bu Yi Tianshi continued, "It's fine. I have genuine abilities, so I'm not afraid of doubt. At worst, I can offer you free fortune-telling again."
"Ah? Master, how can we possibly deserve this..."
Erlang's face was filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Bu Yi Tianshi looked at Xiaofang and said, "Young lady, you come here."
"Ah? Me?" Xiaofang hesitated.
After what had just happened, she wasn't as skeptical of Bu Yi Tianshi anymore.
Bu Yi Tianshi smiled and nodded, "Come here, give me your hand."
"Alright." Seeing her boyfriend's eager face, she couldn't say much. She extended her hand to Bu Yi Tianshi.
The moment Bu Yi Tianshi touched Xiaofang's hand, he flicked his finger. A dark energy, invisible to others, entered Xiaofang's forehead.
This scene was caught by Chen Jie.
Chen Jie frowned.
He considered intervening, but then decided against it.
Bu Yi Tianshi was trying to trick them, and his real target was himself and Zhang Xinyan. As long as he didn't fall for it, there was no need for him to act.
Afterward, Bu Yi Tianshi rubbed Xiaofang's hand for a moment, his expression changing drastically. "This is bad! Young lady, you're about to have terrible luck! You've also been contaminated by malevolent energy, and it's far more severe than the previous person's. In a minute, you'll be spitting blood!"
"What?" Xiaofang's face turned pale.
Bu Yi Tianshi raised his hand and pinched his fingers again. His expression shifted slightly. "This carriage... did someone die here a month ago?"
"Someone died?"
Erlang replied, "How would we know that?"
A man raised his hand. "A death on a high-speed train isn't a small matter. We can check the news!"
As soon as he spoke, someone else held up their phone. "I found it! A month ago, a pregnant woman on a high-speed train apparently died of food poisoning in carriage number six. We're in carriage number six!"
"He truly is a master! He can even divine such things!"
At this point, no one doubted Bu Yi Tianshi anymore.
Bu Yi Tianshi said to Xiaofang with a worried expression, "Perhaps the pregnant woman died with deep resentment, and her malevolent energy has affected you. Without my intervention, you wouldn't have long to live."
Suddenly, Xiaofang's pretty face changed.
Her entire face turned ashen.
Then, with a soft "pfft," she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
Inside the carriage, everyone looked at Bu Yi Tianshi in disbelief.
Most of them were office workers and had never witnessed such a miraculous event.
"Master, please save my girlfriend!" Erlang immediately pleaded with Bu Yi Tianshi.
"Master, hurry and save me! I feel like my body isn't just sick! I... I've seen illusions, it seems like a woman is grabbing me! Please save me quickly!" Xiaofang's face was full of terror as she frantically begged Bu Yi Tianshi.
Bu Yi Tianshi said calmly, "It's nothing. To ordinary people, it might seem like a desperate situation, but in my hands, it's just minor magic. I can solve it for you anytime."
"However, someone else is in a more serious condition than you, so I need to help them first."
Bu Yi Tianshi turned to look at Zhang Xinyan. "Young lady, unfortunately, your seat might have been the very one where that pregnant woman died. Without my intervention, you will certainly die today."
Someone had died on the train.
And then someone else fell victim.
Zhang Xinyan, being a young woman, was genuinely frightened.
For a moment, she hesitated.
"Old man, are you annoying or what? Why are you bothering my girlfriend? What's your motive?" Chen Jie asked impolitely.
With Chen Jie speaking up, Zhang Xinyan felt a wave of relief.
She said to Bu Yi Tianshi, "I'm sorry, I feel like my body is fine. I don't need your help."
Bu Yi Tianshi's face darkened.
Before he could speak, Erlang pointed at Chen Jie and said, "Why are you like this? People are kindly offering help, and they're not asking for anything in return! Are you just going to stand by and watch your girlfriend die?"
"If you want to be scammed, that's your problem. I advise you not to meddle!" Chen Jie replied rudely.
"Scumbag! You don't love your girlfriend at all! With you like this, if I were your girlfriend, I'd break up with you immediately! If you love her, then let her cooperate with Bu Yi Tianshi now! Don't wait until disaster strikes and then regret it!" Xiaofang exclaimed indignantly at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie retorted, "It's precisely because you are too naive and easily deceived that you are not qualified to be my girlfriend."
"You..."
Xiaofang's pretty face turned red with anger.
"Facing imminent disaster and yet remaining oblivious! I truly pity this beautiful young lady for having a boyfriend like you!"
Erlang said indignantly.
Chen Jie replied, "That's because you can't find a girlfriend as beautiful as mine, so you're saying that out of jealousy."
"Hmph!"
Erlang gave an awkward hmph. He did feel a bit unbalanced.
Why was it that despite being wealthy, his girlfriend was being outshone by the girlfriend of someone like Chen Jie, who didn't seem to care about his own girlfriend?
He quickly said to Bu Yi Tianshi, "Master, since they're not accepting your kind offer, please expel the malevolent energy for my girlfriend."
Bu Yi Tianshi glared at Chen Jie.
He was on the verge of losing control.
Failing to trick Zhang Xinyan left him feeling deeply resentful.
He glanced at Xiaofang then, saying somewhat impatiently, "I need to perform a ritual, but I require a quiet place where I won't be disturbed!"
"A place where you won't be disturbed?" Erlang's face immediately showed a look of difficulty, then he said, "Then, can we do it after we get off the train and find a place?"
"No, because if we delay until we reach the provincial capital, she will surely die," Bu Yi Tianshi said calmly.
