Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

A bold idea suddenly struck Qin Xi. However, she didn’t have the ability to make it happen now.

However, she believed that with her ability, as long as she could carry out this idaa, it would not take long for her to build a business empire of her own.

At the thought of this idea, Qin Xi was excited.

Unfortunately, she did not have that much money now.

She sighed. “To be honest, Auntie Zhao, my vegetable field isn’t big. I won’t be able to satisfy your needs.”

Zhao Dan did not want to give up on such a good business opportunity. She asked, “You can rent a vegetable field. As long as you can grow vegetables of this quality, I believe that you will definitely make a lot of money. Moreover, you won’t have to go out and set up a stall under the scorching sun.”

Just as Qin Xi was about to say something, she saw Cheng Haizhong and an old man walk down from the second floor.

Everyone stood up. Yu Liman and Zhao Dan greeted at the same time, “Dad!”

This old man was none other than Cheng Haizhong’s father, Cheng Lei.

He was in his sixties and was wearing a dark blue Chinese tunic suit and a pair of cloth shoes and had a kind smile on his face. He looked at Qin Xi with approval. However, out of respect for his guest, Cheng Lei’s gaze landed on Liu Dequan. He nodded and said, “Sir, please take a seat!”

They sat down and introduced themselves.

“Miss Qin, do you really know how to read faces?”

Cheng Lei smiled and continued, “I heard from my son that you can tell my condition just by looking at my face. I didn’t expect there to be such a mysterious ability in the world. Miss Qin, you’re young and capable! May I know who your shifu is?”

Qin Xi smiled humbly. “My shifu is taking a trip in the middle of nowhere. He instructed me not to reveal his whereabouts and name, so I can’t answer your question.”

“It’s fine. I’m just asking. I don’t mean anything else.” Cheng Lei didn’t know if there were any hermit masters in this world, but since Qin Xi had already said so, it wouldn’t be right for him to go on asking.

The few of them chatted casually. Not long after, the bicycle bell rang outside the door.

Cheng Haizhong stood up and walked out. “He’s here!”

When he came back, he went to make a call just to ask the man in the photo to come over.

After a while, Cheng Haizhong walked in with a handsome man.

Qin Xi glanced at him and could tell at a glance that there was a black aura between his eyebrows that could not be dispersed. There was a trace of bloody red in the black aura. She shook her head and sighed.

Seeing this, Cheng Lei narrowed his eyes and asked, “What did you see?”

“The space between the eyebrows is black, and it’s a sign of danger. In the black aura, a bloody red color is condensed. This represents the backlash of the calamity. I dare say you’ve killed someone.”

As soon as Qin Xi said that, everyone subconsciously looked at Cheng Haizhong. Cheng Haizhong hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he didn’t tell her anything.

“Hello, my name is Deng Xinhe!”

The man looked a little haggard, his eyes were dim, and he exuded a gloomy presence. Moreover, he had an irritable temperament.

However, he was well-mannered. He suppressed his irritability and forced a smile.

“I’m Qin Xi,” Qin Xi stood up and said with a friendly smile.

After taking a seat, Deng Xinhe looked at the ground absent-mindedly. “Just as Miss Qin said, I did kill someone.”

The corners of Qin Xi’s mouth curled up into a smile. “No, that’s not your true intention! You were controlled by someone back then.”
