Chapter 18 Jiang Rongrong's Excitement
Outside, the gale had subsided, but some dark clouds remained.
A ray of golden sunset shone directly on the villa entrance.
Lin Jinian's shadow stretched long in the setting sun.
The light blue Taoist robe swayed gently in the wind, exuding an indescribable air of elegance and otherworldly grace.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments again:
"Having accomplished his task, he left without a trace, concealing his merit and fame."
"This is truly a master!"
"Ahhh! Taoist priest, don't go! I haven't seen enough yet!"
"Does anyone know where Qingyun Temple is? I'm going to burn incense there this weekend!"
"call……"
Wang Shou stood at the villa entrance, watching Lin Jinian's departing figure.
He exhaled a long breath of stale air.
The exhaustion from surviving the ordeal made his legs feel weak.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Turning to Jiang Rongrong beside him, he sighed:
"Miss Jiang, we really owe you a lot this time!"
"If it weren't for your help in contacting this Taoist Master Lin,"
"I'm afraid I'm really going to die here today."
Speaking of which,
He glanced again, still shaken, at the mess on the floor inside the room:
"That Master Faming... his name certainly sounds impressive."
"When something really happened, they ran faster than rabbits."
Jiang Rongrong is tidying up the live streaming equipment.
Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with relief:
"Yes, Mr. Wang, I didn't expect that thing to be so ferocious."
"The ghost at my friend's villa last time wasn't this scary."
"Master Lin is indeed a master. His calm and composed demeanor in the face of danger is truly reassuring."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's the aura!"
Wang Shou slapped his thigh, as if he had remembered something.
I quickly straightened my somewhat disheveled suit and tie:
"No, Master Lin has helped us so much, it would be too vulgar to just give him money."
"I need to see him off and treat him to a meal to properly thank him."
He turned to look at Jiang Rongrong and warmly invited her:
"Miss Jiang, why don't you come along?"
"Shall we find a nice hotel and chat while we eat?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you about Master Lin."
Jiang Rongrong glanced at the time on her phone, shook her head, and smiled:
"No, Mr. Wang, I have some things to take care of at school and need to rush back."
"This live stream was exhausting, I want to go back and rest."
"Okay, let's meet up again next time!"
Wang Shou didn't force the issue, since catching up with Lin Jinian was the priority right now.
"Then I'll be going now!"
After saying that, he ignored the unfinished room, turned around and slammed the front door shut.
With a clang, the lock was fastened, and then I took a step forward, my legs feeling a little weak.
He jogged after Lin Jinian.
"Master Lin! Master Lin, wait for me! I'll see you off!"
Jiang Rongrong watched Wang Shou leave, then looked at her phone screen.
As the climax ended and the Taoist priest left, the number of viewers in the live stream...
It's decreasing rapidly, and has already dropped to just over two thousand.
"Alright everyone, that's all for today's live stream!"
She waved at the camera and gave a sweet smile:
"Today's event was so exciting! Thank you everyone for joining us and for the gifts!"
"If you haven't followed yet, please follow us! See you next time! Bye-bye!"
With a tap of your finger, end the live stream.
Looking at the data in the backend, Jiang Rongrong was so excited she almost jumped for joy.
"70,000 followers! That's an increase of over 10,000!"
"And the live stream's donations today alone generated several thousand yuan in revenue!"
This kind of thing—making money, gaining followers, and being so exciting—is just too awesome!
She couldn't wait to call her best friend, Song Qiaoyun.
"Hey! Qiaoyun! You're totally missing out if you didn't watch the live stream!"
As soon as the call connected, Jiang Rongrong shouted excitedly.
The sound echoed through the empty villa area.
A somewhat helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.
In the background, there's the rustling sound of pages turning:
"Hey lady, I'm in the library, keep your voice down."
"Judging from the noise you're making, what big scene have you encountered this time?"
"It's more than just a grand spectacle!"
Jiang Rongrong described it with great enthusiasm:
"You didn't see it, the ghost in Mr. Wang's house."
"It has no feet! It really floats in mid-air!"
"And that Master Faming from some temple, he got slapped by a ghost and coughed up blood!"
"In the end, it still comes down to Master Lin. Once that golden light shield is activated..."
"The lightning bolt struck with a deafening boom, blasting the ghost into dust!"
"He's so handsome! He's really so handsome! My heart almost stopped!"
As Song Qiaoyun listened to her best friend's rapid-fire description,
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but be intrigued:
"Really? Even worse than last time?"
"I should have skipped class and gone with you."
"Anyway, this elective class is pretty boring."
"Hehe, regretting it now?"
Jiang Rongrong laughed smugly, "This is a live-action version of a fantasy cultivation movie!"
"But then again,"
Song Qiaoyun suddenly remembered something: "Old Zhang took attendance today during the business management elective class."
"He specifically asked Jiang Rongrong why she wasn't here, saying that she had taken too many leave this semester and that she should be careful not to fail her courses."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rongrong curled her lip indifferently:
"Oh, it's nothing. Old Zhang is all bark and no bite. I'll just catch up on my homework later."
"Anyway, I'm just taking this course to get credits. I don't expect to actually manage any company in the future. Being a big internet celebrity would be so much better!"
She is a third-year student majoring in management at Lin'an University.
Her family originally hoped she would work at their company after graduation, but she was naturally playful.
I stumbled into the live streaming industry by accident, but I'm actually enjoying it.
"Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy."
Song Qiaoyun said helplessly, "Are you coming back now? Let's have dinner together tonight?"
"Um... a little later."
Jiang Rongrong glanced in the direction of her cousin's villa not far away:
"I'm going to my cousin's place first."
"Li Fei, the door repairman, just sent a WeChat message saying that the door lock is fixed."
"Let me go over and check it out, and set a password while I'm at it."
"I'll go back to school as soon as I'm done, and I'll show you the screen recording then!"
"Let me tell you, this time I recorded it perfectly clearly!"
"Okay, then be careful on the road, and don't run into anything dirty again."
"Don't worry! I'm very brave now!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Rongrong hummed a little tune in a very good mood.
I walked towards my cousin's villa.
Upon arriving at the door, a young man in blue overalls, carrying a tool bag, was squatting by the entrance smoking.
Seeing Jiang Rongrong approach, Li Fei quickly stubbed out his cigarette and stood up.
"Miss Jiang, is that right? The door lock has been changed for you."
Li Fei pointed to the brand-new smart lock on the door:
"This is the latest model, with fingerprint and facial recognition, so it has a very high level of security."
"Thank you for your hard work, Master."
Jiang Rongrong went over to take a look, and it was indeed very classy.
While resetting the door lock, Li Fei guided Jiang Rongrong to register her fingerprint and set a password.
He couldn't help but point to the old lock cylinder that had been replaced on the ground next to him.
The lock cylinder was pitch black, as if it had been pulled out of a charcoal stove.
Traces of high-temperature melting remain on it.
