What the old Taoist priest took out was just an ordinary talisman painted with cinnabar.

Cheng Shuhui was puzzled: "This... can really save lives? You don't mean that Ye Yan will be haunted by evil spirits, do you?"

Only Feng Shui and metaphysics could be so mysterious. Cheng Shuhui certainly didn't believe it.

The old Taoist shook his head.

"Although it's not haunted by an evil spirit, it's not far off! Only this talisman can help you solve your biggest problem right now!"

Ye Yan's heart moved slightly.

"What will it cost me?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and replied, "It's very simple. I will take an important person away from you to inherit my legacy!"

"Perhaps, when we meet again in the future, the two of you will have gone from being the closest of friends to mortal enemies!"

"Or perhaps, by chance, he will become your greatest help!"

"It all depends on your luck!"

Ye Yan's expression changed.

The important people around him?

The first people who came to his mind were his parents, sister, and Tang Yuerou.

No matter which one it is, he will not allow the old Taoist priest to take it away!

I don’t want to become mortal enemies with the other party one day in the future.

"I'm sorry, everyone around me controls their own destiny. I don't have the final say."

"I won't accept such conditions!"

The old Taoist priest casually shook the talisman in his hand.

"Have you thought it through? This talisman can save your life at a critical moment!"

Ye Yan frowned tightly.

"My fate, Ye Yan, is also in my own hands and will not depend on external things!"

The old Taoist sighed with some regret.

"You rejected this yourself! You don't even know what you've lost!"

Ye Yan was determined and would not be shaken by the old Taoist's words.

"I will be responsible for my choices! At the same time, I also want to remind you not to have any ideas about anyone around me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The old Taoist priest smiled and replied, "Of course I won't force them, but what if they volunteer?"

Ye Yan wanted to say something else, but the old Taoist waved his hand.

"Let's go. I only have one piece of Millennium Warm Jade! I'm giving it to you through this little girl, just to establish a good relationship with you!"

"I hope that in the future, we won't have to face each other in life and death!"

The next moment.

The old Taoist priest's figure seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Even the stall in front of him disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Shuhui was completely stunned and rubbed her eyes subconsciously.

"I... am I dazzled? How come that old Taoist priest just now... suddenly disappeared?"

Ye Yan's expression was somewhat solemn.

"That senior is a warrior, and a warrior more powerful than me!"

"He didn't disappear out of thin air, he just disappeared too fast for you to see."

Ye Yan was very curious about this mysterious old Taoist priest.

Judging from the goodwill that the other party has proactively shown, they are friends, not enemies.

But why did he conclude that there was a possibility that the two of them would face life and death in the future?

If the two sides really become mortal enemies, the consequences... will be unimaginable!

Ye Yan really wanted to find the old evil creature and ask him about it in detail.

It’s a pity that the old evil creature has no idea where it is at this time.

After pondering for a long time, Ye Yan gradually came back to his senses and looked at Cheng Shuhui beside him.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Do you want to continue shopping?"

Cheng Shuhui smiled bitterly. "Half an hour is almost up. I should be leaving now. After this farewell, perhaps we will never see each other again in this life."

"However, seeing that you are doing well now, I feel much more relieved."

"Before I leave, I have only one wish, which is to explain to you what happened back then..."

Originally, Ye Yan had no intention of interfering in Cheng Shuhui's life anymore.

But at this moment, he sighed deeply.

"What was right or wrong back then is no longer important. We must always look forward."

"We are classmates after all. I have heard about your story. As long as you don't want to marry Luo Tianshen, no one can force you."

Luo Tianshen specifically asked Cheng Shuhui to be his concubine, which was clearly meant to disgust Ye Yan.

This matter was caused by Ye Yan, and he couldn't sit idly by.

When Ye Yan said this, Cheng Shuhui's eyes were already red and she was in tears.

"No, this is very important! I admit that I was too cowardly back then, and that's why I missed you!"

"You can blame me or complain about me, I can accept it!"

"But I just want to tell you that I really didn't mean to hurt you!"

Ye Yan remained silent.

Cheng Shuhui tugged at his sleeve tightly: "I am the illegitimate daughter of the Cheng family's patriarch! Or to be more precise, I should be the daughter of the original wife! When they suddenly found me..."

The story is a bit melodramatic. Cheng Haojie fell in love with Cinderella back then.

He did not hesitate to ruin his own future, elope with Cinderella and sever ties with his family.

But soon, the beatings from society and the intentional suppression from his family made the former nobleman extremely embarrassed.

In the end, he backed down!

He chose to break up with Cinderella, returned to his family, and accepted the marriage arranged by the family.

And that Cinderella is Cheng Shuhui's mother.

It was only after Cheng Haojie left that she discovered she was pregnant. She couldn't bear to abort the child, so she could only raise Cheng Shuhui alone.
