I called several times and it kept telling me that the phone was turned off.
"Brother, what happened?" Su Wan asked me with a worried look.
"It's okay. A previous client may have to take a detour." I said.
"Are you an adult?" Sophie asked me.
"yes."
"Since you are an adult, brother, you shouldn't care so much. The path that everyone wants to take is his own choice. Although I don't know who the other party is, it is obvious that the other party wants to get something from you. A yes rather than an answer,” Sophie said bluntly. "No matter what the other party chooses, it is his own choice and has nothing to do with us. We cannot impose our opinions on others."
Sophie's words woke me up.
Respecting the fate of others and not interfering too much will only benefit everyone.
"That makes sense." I put down my phone and stopped trying to contact Chen Tie.
I originally thought that Sophie was just silly and sweet, but I didn't expect that these words turned out to be quite reasonable.
We are all adults, and we have to make our own decisions. What we sow now will reap the consequences later.
After coming out of the restaurant, I wanted to take the two of them to the mall for a walk, but they refused to go and just wanted to stay at home.
But that’s fine, I don’t have to defend myself from the east and the west.
At noon, Su Wan and Sophie were busy in the kitchen making lunch, and I was sitting in the living room watching TV series, completely forgetting about Chen Tie.
Just when the food was on the table and I was about to start, Chen Tie called.
"Master Li, do you have time now? I'll go find you."
I hesitated for a moment and sent her my location.
By the time we finished eating, Chen Tie had already arrived downstairs. There were some things I didn't want Su and Anhui to know, so I went downstairs alone.
When she saw Chen Tie again, her aura was completely different from before.
At this moment, she actually exuded a ghostly aura.
"Why don't you invite me to come up and sit down?" Chen Tie said.
"No need." I refused. "I think this is the last time the two of us will talk. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Chen Tie didn't expect that I would have this attitude. "I'm here this time just to thank you for your help. I have no other intention."
"But it seems that you don't want to see me, Master Li, so I won't bother you." With that said, Chen Tie took out a bank card and handed it to me. "This is what I want, please accept it."
"I said, we are even, you can take the money back."
If you don’t get rewarded for your merits, you will have to bear the consequences if you accept the money.
Seeing that I refused to accept it, Chen Tie stopped insisting.
"Then I won't disturb Master Li." After Chen Tie said that, he turned around.
"You entered Taoism with the help of rune tattoos. If you do good things, I can pretend that nothing happened. But if you do something that is harmful to nature, I will kill you with my own hands. I hope you will take care of yourself." After saying that, he took out a printed information and threw it away. give her. "Go back and see for yourself."
Chen Tie caught the information I threw to her, and when she looked at me again, I had already gone upstairs.
As for this information, it is about the Japanese runes.
I hope that after reading it, she will understand what can and cannot be done.
When I got home, Su Wan came to me. "I saw from the window that she was a beautiful and generous sister. Why don't you give her a chance?"
I reached out and patted Su Wan on the head. "Don't talk nonsense, she and I don't have that kind of relationship."
Su Wan chuckled. "By the way, my dad called me just now and said that he knew about Jiangnan University. He is on his way here now and said he would take me back in person."
The village chief is coming!
But that's fine. I feel more at ease if he takes Su Wan and Sophie back.
"Okay, we'll pick him up when he arrives at the station."
Su Wan hummed and handed me a peeled orange.
"I really envy you, Wanwan. You have a father who loves you, and a brother who loves you." Sophie's eyes showed true envy.
Su Wan chuckled. "How about Sister Fei, you can also accept my brother as your brother."
Su Wan's words instantly affected Sophie.
I was not prepared for recognizing an extra sister.
"Is it really okay?" Sophie said, as if asking what I meant.
This made me extremely embarrassed. The next second Su Wan answered for me. "Yes, of course."
Sophie couldn't hide her excitement, but she still looked forward to my answer.
I didn't want to lose face to Su Wan, so I agreed in one fell swoop.
The next second, Sophie rushed forward and hugged me directly.
"elder brother."
This girl, does she need to be so exaggerated?
Just when my eyes met Su Wan, her eyes told me that I must recognize this sister.
"sister."
I don't know if she was too excited or something, but Sophie burst into tears.
This makes me don't know how to comfort me.
After Sophie had cried enough, she got up from me.
"Sophie, since you call me brother, then I will regard you as my biological sister. From now on, I will treat you and Su Wan equally. If anyone bullies you, I will not let him go."
My words seemed to warm Sophie again, and she threw herself into my arms again.
It was only later that Su Wan told me that Sophie's family was not good.
When she was in elementary school, Sophie's father was an alcoholic and accidentally beat his wife to death. If it weren't for the occasional help from several uncles, Sophie wouldn't have grown so big.
So Sophie rarely went back since high school. When she got to college, she worked alone on a work-study program and lost contact with her family.
It can be said that she has no concept of the word family, let alone the care of her elders.
Sometimes when I think back on this incident, I feel lucky. Fortunately, I recognized Sophie as a girl at this time, and she later saved Su Wan's life.
Comforting Sophie, I received a call from Master Huo.
"Fellow Daoist Li, come to the Tang family quickly, something happened." Taoist Huo spoke very fast.
"What's going on?" I asked quickly.
Master Huo's voice was noisy, and he was chanting incantations to exorcise the talisman, and then he shouted to me after he finished. "It's a fake corpse."
"Just hold on for a while and I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Su Wan and Sophie. Taking them to Tang's house would be inconvenient, but I didn't feel at ease if I stayed at home.
"Brother, why don't you go take care of your business first? Sister Fei and I will stay at home and not go anywhere. We should be fine," Su Wan said.
Sophie spoke immediately. "It's just that we can't let you protect us in everything. If you really feel uneasy, just leave a few amulets for us."
This is all I can do now. I took out four amulets, blessed them with telekinesis and gave them to them.
"If you feel something is wrong in the house, call me immediately and I will come back as soon as possible."
