SCWP Chapter 28

Meeting Gift

Meeting Gift

After the car drove up the mountain, Wen Ren Shu screamed the entire time, En Sihan desperately tightened her seat belt, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Meng Yu sat steadily in the passenger seat, only occasionally tilting his body due to the huge inertial force.

As for Lin Qichi in the driver’s seat, he was completely letting himself go.

“Bro, watch the road! Watch the road!”

“Relax, my eyesight is better than yours.”

“Bro, what are you doing?”

“Full throttle.”

“Still full throttle?!?!?!”

Meng Yu said calmly, “Skillful and bold.”

Lin Qichi laughed and said, “Tough life.”

“Bro!!! My life isn’t tough, ahhhhh!!!” Wen Ren Shu was already dizzy from being tossed around and just wanted to throw up.

“Then shut up.”

Lin Qichi enjoyed the drive and felt as if he was walking on flat ground. He even regretted not having a race with Qi Feiyu in the previous world, which would have been a great loss.

According to the world line, he should have been a good opponent.

“You…” Meng Yu suddenly grabbed Lin Qichi’s arm, enduring the soul-wrenching sense of strangeness, and said briefly, “Drive slower.”

“Okay.” Lin Qichi gently responded in the midst of the car’s roar.

Thank goodness, this damn speed and passion finally stopped.

Lin Qichi parked the car on a gentle slope, making it difficult to get in and out. Of course, he was also quite skilled to even be able to stop the car.

Wen Ren Shu immediately started vomiting after getting out of the car. En Sihan silently walked away a bit before bending over in discomfort.

Wen Ren Shu stood by the car for a while, waiting for the roaring sound in his ears to disappear. He then bowed to Meng Yu, “Thank you, Sister-in-law, for your great kindness and virtue.”

Meng Yu frowned with a displeased expression. Wen Ren Shu assumed he also couldn’t stand Lin Qichi’s strange driving skills.

“We can’t drive any further, we have to walk from here.” Lin Qichi walked to Meng Yu’s side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Meng Yu had been silent ever since they left, making him very worried.

Was there something wrong with that Soul-Scattering Grass?

Lin Qichi wanted to talk to Meng Yu alone, but he couldn’t find an opportunity. It seemed he had to wait until they got back.

“Mr. Wen Ren, be careful! Behind you!” En Sihan screamed, her body trembling with fear, but her eyes didn’t blink.

Ye Chenxi initially caught him because he discovered that she could not only attract yin energy but also see through things disguised by it at a glance.

Beside Lin Qichi, she saw a large amount of yin energy that was almost solidified.

Lin Qichi just smiled, as if to comfort En Sihan, but his eyes contained the meaning of ‘don’t make a fuss’.

He knew!

En Sihan fearfully covered her mouth and ran towards Wen Ren Shu.

Wen Ren Shu’s trained, strong shoulders firmly caught her. The gentle slope had many weeds, and the terrain was uneven. Wen Ren Shu was worried about the darkness under his feet and didn’t let go.

Meng Yu tilted his head and smiled at her.

The headlights of the car illuminated half of his body. Although it was the strongest light, it couldn’t illuminate the other half of his body, making it extremely eerie and strange.

Wen Ren Shu also noticed the strangeness, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing standing at the bottom of the slope?”

Meng Yu seemed to just react and walked up from the gentle slope, revealing the Six Corner Tower, which had been completely blocked by his angle.

“Is this the Six Corner Tower?” Wen Ren Shu was the first to notice the tower behind them, marveling.

En Sihan rubbed her eyes hard, distinguishing that the rich yin energy she had just seen was emanating from the direction of the Six Corner Tower.

En Sihan awkwardly apologized to Meng Yu.

She also muttered in a low voice, “It’s…the Six Corner Tower.” But she didn’t dare to look at Meng Yu again.

Lin Qichi looked in the direction of the Six Corner Tower, revealing a moment of contemplation.

The yin energy on Meng Yu’s body became heavier, even En Sihan could see it, but…the sense of familiarity on his body also became stronger.

It was like…

“Xiaoyu, did you sprain your ankle?” Lin Qichi asked as if he was just concerned.

Meng Yu smiled gently at him, “I just stepped on air for a moment, it’s nothing.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qichi’s smile widened, wasn’t this even more interesting?

“Bro, are we just leaving the car here?” Wen Ren Shu asked while tearing off the talisman paper from the headlights.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and turning on the lights could illuminate the road, but the light was too strong and easily spotted. So, they had been sticking talisman paper along the way to try and remain hidden.

The talisman paper stuck on the headlights created a two-way conversion of the space inside and outside the car. No matter how bright the headlights were, the distance that could be seen from the outside was limited, but from inside the car, it looked like broad daylight.

Before Lin Qichi could answer, Meng Yu spoke first, “Don’t worry, no one will come up the mountain now.”

“Oh.” In Wen Ren Shu’s subconscious, he almost regarded Meng Yu as equal to Lin Qichi, and didn’t realize there was anything wrong for a moment.

En Sihan unconsciously moved closer to Wen Ren Shu again.

When the last piece of talisman paper was torn off the headlights, the light suddenly shot out further, just illuminating the entire Six Corner Tower.

“Bro, did you anticipate this, so you parked in such an awkward place? You didn’t deliberately make us open the car door and step into the ditch, did you?”

Lin Qichi touched his nose. He couldn’t deny the high praise being given, “You could say that.”

Meng Yu laughed in front. With the lights on, it was easier to survey the road.

Lin Qichi had Wen Ren Shu protect En Sihan and walk in the middle, while he brought up the rear.

Wen Ren Shu feigned humility a bit, but his brother patted his shoulder and gave him a gentle smile, and he immediately became honest.

En Sihan, on the other hand, was constantly dodging and only hiding beside Wen Ren Shu. The closer she got to the Six Corner Tower, the more afraid she became.

Lin Qichi thought of the poisonous miasma mentioned in the world line and gave Wen Ren Shu and En Sihan each a special mask, telling them to wear it and talk less.

En Sihan knew that they came to the Six Corner Tower for Wen Ren Shu, but she didn’t know the specifics. She also hoped to help them a little. She thought that once she repaid this favor, she would run far away and never get involved in these things again.

Wen Ren Shu knew the seriousness of this matter for himself. Lin Qichi kept silent, so he didn’t dare to act foolishly either. He behaved very well along the way, talking less, doing less, and not causing trouble.

The space inside the Six Corner Tower was either big or small, but the yin energy inside was very heavy, constantly spreading to the surroundings, especially obvious at night.

Lin Qichi lit a fire talisman, and the monsters and ghosts in the Six Corner Tower all revealed their true forms.

“Evil spirits retreat, petty ghosts don’t invade.” Meng Yu’s words were like golden decrees, and as soon as he spoke, those ghosts dissipated into smoke and ashes. Only the fainter yin energy could prove that those things were—not hallucinations.

Wen Ren Shu closed his unconsciously widened mouth and stuttered, “Word…Words of power?”
