After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 748 - : Her? She Isn’t Worthy (3)

Chapter 748: Her? She Isn’t Worthy (3)

The JI family, a millennium-old lineage, had far more intense internal competition.

This time, Old Master JI managed to venture out under the pretense of inspecting the dragon veins; otherwise, the council of elders would never have allowed him to set even half a step outside of Eastern State.

“Alright, alright, old man, when you see my big brother tomorrow, don’t get too excited,” JI Xingzhi said, half-jokingly concerned. “I’m afraid you might just drop dead from the shock.”

“You little brat!” Old Master JI roared in anger, taking off his shoe to chase after him. “If I don’t beat you to death today, my name isn’t JI Buqing!”

JI Xingzhi took off running, causing another scene within the JI household.

At that moment, at Guanghua Temple.

Feng San stayed by the car, not following the others.

Before Yu Xiheng’s legs had healed, no one could approach him.

After his recovery, only Miss Si seemed able to tease him.

Feng San felt quite reassured.

The wheelchair moved forward automatically as Yu Xiheng made his way to the back road of Guanghua Temple.

“Benefactor,” greeted the monk solemnly as he saw him. “It’s an honor to see you again, benefactor. What brings you here today?”

Yu Xiheng, propping his head up, glanced over the monk’s robe. “Got a promotion?”

“By sheer luck,” the monk replied with his hands pressed together. “You wouldn’t know, benefactor, but I’m quite troubled. Ever since the abbot of Guanghua Temple disappeared, I’ve struggled to manage alone.”

“You’re being modest,” Yu Xiheng said coolly.

The monk sighed deeply. “If only I hadn’t been so poor at mathematics as a child, I wouldn’t have ended up being sent to the monastery.”

Ignoring his comment, Yu Xiheng continued, “Last time we met, you mentioned she had cut off her own romantic entanglements in exchange for wealth. I came to inquire whether there is any destiny between her and me.”

“What does it matter if there is destiny or not?” the monk countered. “If there’s no destiny, will Your Highness really let go?”

Yu Xiheng’s gaze sharpened suddenly, his fingers quickly flicking open a fan.

Looking up, his deep gaze met the monk’s, a slight smile playing on his lips yet his expression remained unchanging. His voice was soft, “What did you just call me?”

“My apologies,” the monk grimaced, his face turning more sour. “The luck surrounding you is so strong, benefactor; it reminds me of the fate only ancient emperors possessed. I inadvertently spoke it aloud.”

“Please, benefactor, don’t report me. If the Thousand Army Alliance hears that I dream of rebellion, I would be imprisoned.”

Yu Xiheng scrutinized the monk once more, his gaze intense but finally relaxed. “Speaking out of turn and uttering nonsense should indeed be punished.”

The monk looked even more distressed.

“The incense at Guanghua Temple will not cease,” Yu Xiheng declared as he wheeled away. “As long as you don’t engage in wrongful practices and do not abet tyrants.”

The monk brightened, smiling widely. “Rest assured, benefactor, I devote myself entirely to Buddha. I’m a fraud in all other aspects. I truly don’t have the ability to support anyone.”

“Rest assured, if you can’t, then other people don’t even need to think about it. That female benefactor’s luck is tremendously powerful; anyone else would merely be crushed, not even worthy of being considered a romantic interest,” the monk added.

Yu Xiheng’s brows twitched slightly, but he said nothing further.

Back in the car, seeing Yu Xiheng’s improved mood, Feng San cautiously spoke up, “Brother Nine, Miss Si has returned and is waiting for you.”

Yu Xiheng’s eyelashes fluttered down. “Let’s go. Don’t keep your lady waiting.”

Feng San breathed a sigh of relief as he drove back to the villa.

Xi Jiang went to do delivery, leaving Si Fuqing alone in the villa.

As January 20th approached, the promotion for “Crossing the Demon Realm” became increasingly frequent.

Si Fuqing logged onto Weibo to share the latest promotional material.

Her knack for hitting the hot search was impeccable; her recent post about the show instantly went viral.

Coincidentally, just minutes before, Tong Luoyun had also shared promotions for “Great Zhao Dynasty.”

Many marketing accounts jumped on the bandwagon.

[Come, let’s compare the achievements of the Triple Golden Awards Actress and a certain popular star. It’s not even close. Let’s see if ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ can even achieve one-tenth of ‘Great Zhao Dynasty’s’ ratings when it airs the day after tomorrow.]

[One-tenth? I’d be surprised if ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ even gets a fraction of ‘Great Zhao Dynasty’s’ ratings. It seems IFTV lacks judgment too, a flop in the making.]
