Chapter 1935 - 1933: Bad Luck
Chapter 1935: Chapter 1933: Bad Luck
"By the way, has anyone bullied you here?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked softly.
"No, not at all."
Gu Qiaoqiao squinted slightly. She had learned nine talismans from her uncle.
Barrier Talisman, Ice Arrow Talisman, Invisibility Talisman, Spiritual Energy Talisman, and a few others for Demon Subduing and Exorcism; the Water Repellent Talisman was taught to her later by Mrs. Leng.
But the Demon Subduing and Exorcism ones were basically useless for Gu Qiaoqiao.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t draw a Good Luck Talisman.
If she could draw one, she could use it for her sister. Naturally, people with good luck are also safe.
In the end, Gu Qiaoqiao was a little deflated.
She now realized that the duration of her talismans was too short.
She had never really tested exactly how long they lasted.
But she knew the Invisibility Talisman only lasted for twenty-four hours.
Maybe the others were similar.
Only the Barrier Talisman set on objects lasted for a year.
Even if she could draw a Good Luck Talisman, with such a short duration, it wouldn’t be of much use.
Now Gu Qiaoqiao was eager to see her uncle; she realized that although she could draw talismans, it felt like trying to gather a heap of sand.
She couldn’t actually have a complete and substantial grasp of them.
So when she needed to use them, there were always all kinds of regrets.
Her uncle didn’t really concern himself with these matters, Gu Qiaoqiao knew what he was thinking. He didn’t want her to take this path, because she was already married with children, with her own family, and cultivation wasn’t really necessary; what she had now was more than enough for a safe and peaceful life, and at suitable times, she could still show off a bit.
But for some reason, whenever she went out, she would encounter situations where she had to use these abilities.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to avoid them, but she couldn’t avoid them at all.
These last two times with the Phoenix Clan and at the mine, she had involved Qin Yize.
Though nothing happened, continuing like this wasn’t a solution.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit lost for a moment.
Beside her, Gu Qianqian tilted her head to look at her sister, "Sis, what’s wrong? You seem to have something on your mind, are you reluctant to part with me?"
"Yeah..." Gu Qiaoqiao said as she reached out to pinch her sister’s nose, then cast a Barrier Talisman on her, just as she had planned from the start.
The Barrier Talisman penetrated into Gu Qianqian’s body, hopefully, it would be effective.
She said softly, "Qianqian, go to class."
"Sis, how did you get here?"
"I took a taxi, but your brother-in-law will come to pick me up soon. I’ll wait for him at the gate for a while."
Gu Qianqian stood in front of Gu Qiaoqiao, looking at her with a pitiful expression, prompting Gu Qiaoqiao to laugh and say, "Oh, you’re almost getting married, so don’t act like a kid. We’ll see each other tomorrow when Elder Luo hosts dinner, and Luo Fan is here to accompany you. What are you worried about? Besides, your great aunt’s family will also take care of you..."
Gu Qianqian knew this, she was actually quite lucky.
But she still held onto Gu Qiaoqiao, and after talking for a while, the sisters finally parted ways. Gu Qianqian went to the classroom with a stack of books, while Gu Qiaoqiao turned and quickly walked towards the school gate. She had agreed on a time with Qin Yize, and checking her watch, it was almost time.
The school gate wasn’t quiet either.
Quite a few people were there, though their purpose wasn’t clear.
Many were dressed in bizarre attire, their eyes filled with malevolent energy.
Some were very tall and strong, probably weighing over two hundred pounds and standing over six foot three, exuding an oppressive presence. Many people took a detour around them.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what they were saying, but noticed that the tallest man’s gaze swept in her direction.
First, he froze for a moment, then his expression changed.
This should be a renowned school globally, how could there be such people at its gate? Didn’t the school manage this?
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t find anyone to ask these questions.
She wasn’t afraid of them, but didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced indifferently, noticing a few people seemed to be walking towards her, and without thinking, she turned and re-entered the school gate.
The tall and strong individuals quickly followed as Gu Qiaoqiao re-entered the gate, five in total—four men and one woman.
She didn’t know them; why were they chasing her?
Even with her toes, she could guess it wasn’t for anything good.
Standing out with her distinctive Eastern features and unique aura, even in such a crowd, she would attract attention. Naturally, she caught the eye of those hooligans.
Gu Qiaoqiao moved swiftly, scanning her surroundings and heading quickly behind a wooden house. Ensuring there was no one around with her Divine Sense, she cast an Invisibility Talisman on herself.
Then she leisurely walked out of the school gate again.
The five people were still looking inside, talking in a language she couldn’t understand.
The woman’s expression wasn’t good, seemingly arguing with one of them, then turned and left.
Unfortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t understand anything, nor was she interested.
It was clear they had ill intentions, given the ominous energy hovering over them from past misdeeds.
After some thought, Gu Qiaoqiao halted, pointing her finger at the air. In seconds, she gathered the malevolent energy around them and directed it to the four individuals.
She watched as they shivered simultaneously, then looked around in bewilderment.
Before they could say anything, one turned pale, clutched his stomach, and hurried in another direction.
This leader-like figure’s departure led the remaining three to peer inside. Seeing no sign of Gu Qiaoqiao, they muttered a few words and followed suit.
In reality, this malevolent energy was just bad luck.
Inflicting it on such individuals marks the start of their unlucky days.
But it shouldn’t be overdone; it seems the Heavenly Dao Rules forbid it. Besides, it isn’t as immediate as the Ice Arrow Talisman.
However, today it seemed to take effect quickly.
One of them tripped while running, twisted an ankle on getting up, and was angrily helped away by the other two, gradually disappearing from sight.
Gu Qiaoqiao placed her hands in her coat pockets, a slight smile forming as a car approached.
The driver was Qin Yize, who seeing the invisible Gu Qiaoqiao, frowned slightly, sweeping sharp eyes around, seemingly understanding something.
Parking the car beside Gu Qiaoqiao.
In such a public situation, it wasn’t convenient to drop the invisibility; he smiled subtly at Gu Qiaoqiao, casually opening the car door on the other side...
