Bai Nanchen, still limping, sneaked to the hotel's emergency stairwell before the other guests woke up and dialed the number of the so-called master.
"Greetings, Master. I am Bai Nanchen."
The voice on the other end sounded rather old. It said, "Yes, I know. Your brother already told me. What do you want?"
"Ahem... Master, Xiaoyu said you have something that can bring good luck..." Bai Nanchen looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then continued, "Ahem... I want something that can bring bad luck, preferably bad luck to the point of death!"
The person on the other end seemed to be thinking about how to answer. After a long while, a voice came from the other end of the phone. "We Daoist priests cannot do such things that harm people's lives."
Bai Nanchen: "Master, whatever your asking price, I'll offer double."
Ha, is there anything money can't buy these days? If you can't buy it, it just means you're not being paid enough.
"I don't have anything that can harm people, but I do have something that can bring good luck. It's a pair of Mother-and-Child Pendants. If you wear the mother pendant and give the child pendant to someone else or empty the contents of the child pendant and feed it to someone else, you can continuously absorb that person's luck."
Bai Nanchen curled his lip. What kind of master doesn't even have something like this! Ha, Mother-and-Child Pendants? Oh well, it'll do for now.
"Give me five then!"
"Good."
After hanging up the phone, the person on the other end of the line wore a smug smile. This Bai Family was really interesting; the whole family was no good. He had nothing to feel guilty about using them to absorb other people's luck.
As for those whose luck was drawn away, you can only say they were unlucky; otherwise, why would they have been chosen instead of someone else?
Now his injury and joining the Blood God Cult are no longer a problem!!
During dinner, Bai Nanchen received Mother-and-Child Pendants delivered by his agent. He proudly put the mother pendant around his neck and wore the child pendant with him. He then limped to the dining room to dine with the other guests.
Bai Nanchen glanced at the guests and decided to try it on someone first. If it didn't work, he could ask that person for a refund!
It has to be said that the Bai Family's bizarre thought process and viciousness are truly inherited from the same lineage!
Unsurprisingly, the guests, who had been tormented by the terrifying escape room all morning, collapsed into chairs in the dining room.
Image?! What image? The emojis they produced in the escape room this morning alone are enough for fans to use for a year!
This is truly worrying.
Bai Nanchen smiled and looked at the guests who were exhausted. He was glad that he had twisted his ankle yesterday, otherwise he would have been just as unkempt as them.
But that's perfect, they're so tired they definitely won't notice his movements, wouldn't that make it even easier to test that Mother-and-Child Pendants!
Bai Nanchen cleared his throat. "Ahem, ahem— Xiaoyu, let's go get some lemonade. Sister Lan Brother Yue are exhausted."
The other guests were somewhat surprised to hear this. Given Bai Nanchen's personality, would he really serve them tea and water? Of course, they wouldn't say this on camera; they simply smiled and thanked him.
Bai Nanyu obediently went with Bai Nanchen to pour lemonade for the guests. With the camera behind his back, Bai Nanchen poured the dark red liquid from the pendant directly into the first cup on his right.
The liquid blends seamlessly with the beverage the moment it enters the glass, making it virtually undetectable.
After pouring the water, the two carried it to the dining table, deliberately placing the spiked glass of water next to Ji Nanshu.
It would be best if Ji Nanshu could drink it, but if not, Chu Mo, Jian Yuanjia, Cen Yan, or any of the others would be fine with him drinking it, since he couldn't stand any of the people here.
Ji Nanshu looked at the water in front of him, pushed it away, and said, "I'm not thirsty."
Bai Nanyu exclaimed "Ah!" and said with feigned concern, "Third Brother, Second Brother and I were just worried about you all, you've been exhausted from escaping the escape room for so long..."
" Ji Nanshu, don't be ungrateful! I'm just concerned about you!" Bai Nanchen shouted impatiently.
Ji Nanshu said with a half-smile, "Then you two brothers should probably tone down your concern; I don't need it!"
Bai Nanchen snorted, "Fine, don't drink then! You don't appreciate my kindness!"
[Ugh, what is Ji Nanshu?! It's an honor for you that my brother Nanchen poured you water, okay? How dare you refuse?!]
[ Ji Nanshu, can you please get out of the entertainment industry?!]
[ Ji Nanshu, your mother is dead!]
[So what if my An'an refuses? What's so great about that lousy water?! Bai Nanchen's mother is the one who's dead!]
[Ha, do you think these bastards from the Bai Family could have any good intentions towards my youngest brother?! Bah!!]
Jian Yuanjia shared the same question, "What goodwill could you possibly have for Nanshu?"
His tone was very sincere.
"You...! Jian Yuanjia, did I even speak to you? Why are you so quick to stand up for Ji Nanshu?" Bai Nanchen retorted, "You wouldn't happen to like Ji Nanshu, would you?"
"Yeah! I like Nanshu! Nanshu is so great, how could anyone not like him?" Jian Yuanjia genuinely liked Ji Nanshu, not out of romantic love, just pure admiration for his looks. "Ah... I get it, are you jealous that we all like Nanshu? Tsk, you should be a little jealous, not everyone is as annoying as you two brothers."
"After all, he's average-looking and average-talented... and he still wants to bravely enter the entertainment industry... What are you fans thinking? Paying money to see an ugly capitalist's kid who has neither looks nor talent? He should at least have one of those qualities!"
Very well, that's a classic case of generalizing across the entire country, and it almost got me dragged into it.
Jian Yuanjia: He's the capitalist's handsome son! <(￣￣)>
While Jian Yuanjia was verbally attacking the Bai Family brothers, Ji Nanshu quietly used a Illusion Technique to switch the drink in front of him with Bai Nanchen's. Once Jian Yuanjia had finished his tirade, Ji Nanshu mimicked Bai Nanyu's manipulative remarks. " Yuanjia, stop talking... Anyway, they've never liked me, I'm used to it. Just drink it, lemonade... it's not like I can't drink it..."
Ji Nanshu spoke slowly, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight sob in his voice. His head was slightly lowered, his eyes drooping, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his cheeks. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see that the corners of his eyes were red, as if he was about to shed tears at any moment.
Chu Mo then added, "He can't drink sour things; he'll throw up."
These words, coupled with Ji Nanshu's current tearful appearance, immediately aroused some sympathy from the other guests, who all tried to dissuade her.
Bai Nanchen was furious, grabbing his glass of lemonade and downing it in one gulp. "Ungrateful wretch!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guests exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Bai!!"
"Second Brother!!"
"Brother Nanchen!!"
The Bai Family's path to self-destruction has begun!
Guess what happened to Bai Nanchen!! Hehehe--
