After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"More than just classmates, Dong Yang and I were roommates..."

One of Qin Shuang's male classmates sighed, a look of sadness flashing across his face.

"...Liang Peng, I'm sorry, I didn't know that person was from your dorm."

Qin Shuang's pretty face changed, and she quickly apologized.

"It's alright. Nobody wanted these things to happen, but this is Dong Yang's fate. He couldn't escape this calamity after all."

Liang Peng shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Escaped death? What does that mean? It sounds a bit creepy!"

Qin Shuang's eyes widened instantly, and her gossipy nature began to stir again.

The other girls were no exception; they all turned to look at Liang Peng, their beautiful big eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Most normal men would find it hard to resist such a scene, being asked for answers by a group of beautiful girls, let alone Liang Peng, a student whose hormones are surging.

So after a moment's hesitation, Liang Peng couldn't resist the temptation and said, "This matter is a bit mystical. Dong Yang met a master a few days ago who was extremely accurate at fortune telling and physiognomy..."

Just as Liang Peng finished speaking, Qin Shuang suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Let's not talk about this here, let's go somewhere else."

Then, Qin Shuang turned to Ye Bai and said, "Chef Ye, why don't you treat us to some milk tea?"

"No problem, you guys find a place, it's on me."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded, agreeing very readily.

It wasn't because he doted on his mistress, but because the girl's actions at that moment pleased him greatly.

He was trying to figure out how to get some information about Dong Yang out of Liang Peng, since they were roommates and naturally knew each other very well.

Before he could even take any action, Qin Shuang jumped out and perfectly played the role of a lackey, which naturally put Ye Bai in a good mood, making the milk tea reward well worth it.

There are bubble tea shops inside medical schools, which shows how popular this product is among young people.

Ye Bai had no interest in such things, so he ordered a drink for Qin Shuang and the others and let Liang Peng continue talking.

Dong Yang's story is not complicated. A few days ago, when he and his roommates went to a Taoist temple, they met a mysterious master who said that Dong Yang's forehead was dark and that he was about to suffer a great calamity.

As students with higher education, they naturally did not believe in such feudal superstitions and ridiculed the other party severely.

If someone hadn't held him back, Dong Yang would have even gone up and discussed some fighting techniques with the other party.

Although Dong Yang is not a sports student, he has been exercising since childhood and has also learned Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). He is the type who likes to fight and be aggressive, so his temper is naturally not very good.

But what no one expected was that the mysterious master was not afraid of the aggressive Dong Yang. Instead, he picked up a stone next to him, squeezed it gently, and the stone shattered into several pieces!

This scene stunned them. At first, they thought it was one of those common charlatans who could break a boulder on their chest, but after they went closer to check, they found that the boulder was not a prop, but real!

Unconvinced, Dong Yang tried it himself, hitting one of the stones with his fingers. He almost broke his fingers, but the stone was unharmed.

No one knows how that mysterious master managed to break stone tablets and shatter rocks so easily, just like in martial arts novels, but what is certain is that this person is probably not a charlatan, but a true master.

This means that what the other party said about Dong Yang being in grave danger is very likely true!

So the group became frightened and quickly sought help from the mysterious master to find a solution.

To show their sincerity, the group of guys took out their phones and prepared to have the "master" scan their QR codes.

Unexpectedly, the master completely disregarded money, and after pondering for a long time, he uttered a few words.

……

After talking for a while, Liang Peng was clearly thirsty, so he quickly picked up the juice in front of him and gulped it down.

"...Can you please stop breathing so heavily?"

Qin Shuang and the others, who were listening with great interest, were caught off guard by Liang Peng's sudden abrupt interruption and began to grumble in dissatisfaction.

Qin Shuang and the big-eyed cutie had the biggest reactions, and it was clear that these two girls were the most gossipy.

Ye Bai remained silent, but when he heard the so-called "mysterious expert" easily crush the stone, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

If this isn't some kind of prop or technological trickery, then it can only mean that the other person's skills are extremely impressive, making them a top-tier master.

But how could there be someone at such a level in Jingzhou?

Ye Bai could only keep this question to himself for the time being, because even if he asked Liang Peng, he wouldn't get an answer.

An ordinary medical student wouldn't have access to that level of knowledge.

"Um... could I have another drink?"

After finishing a large glass of juice, Liang Peng was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Unfortunately, Qin Shuang clearly had no intention of granting his wish, and urged him impatiently, "Come on, my foot! Hurry up and say it!"

Liang Peng was clearly somewhat afraid of this Miss Qin. Upon hearing this, he shrank back and quickly continued speaking honestly.

The mysterious master told Dong Yang that money wouldn't help in averting this calamity; he needed to find something else.

That kind of thing is available in the medical school, and it wouldn't be difficult for Dong Yang to get his hands on it if he put his mind to it.

These words aroused the curiosity of Liang Peng and others, because they had no idea what kind of treasures the medical school might have.

Unfortunately, the mysterious master instructed Liang Peng and the others to stay away during the ensuing conversation, speaking only to Dong Yang. They did not know the specific content of the conversation.

On the way down the mountain, they did ask Dong Yang, but Dong Yang just shook his head and never said anything.

When pressed, he finally told them that the mysterious master had instructed Dong Yang that this matter must be kept strictly secret and not revealed to anyone, otherwise it would lose its power.

In the following days, Liang Peng and the others almost forgot about the incident, but unexpectedly, Dong Yang still got into trouble.

……

"So, according to you, Dong Yang's death was entirely due to some kind of calamity? That's a bit ridiculous! What era are we living in? Who still believes in those superstitious things!"

After listening, the big-eyed cutie was the first to express her doubt and disbelief.

"That's right! I..."

Qin Shuang nodded subconsciously, also wanting to express that this fact was too mystical. But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly remembered the thrilling scene that happened to her at the KTV that day.

Before the incident, Ye Bai had been telling her that she was going to have a bloody disaster, but she initially refused to believe it.

In the end, it was her mother who persuaded her, and she reluctantly went to Ye Bai to ask for a talisman.

As a result, they escaped disaster!

So what Liang Peng said might sound strange, but it could very well be true?

With this thought in mind, Qin Shuang couldn't help but turn to look at Ye Bai, wanting him to help her make a judgment.

But Ye Bai ignored her completely and instead looked at Liang Peng and asked, "Do you remember what that mysterious expert looked like? Also, where did you meet each other?"

Liang Peng thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember his appearance clearly, but he seemed to be a Taoist priest. There wasn't anything particularly special about him... I know the location very well, though. It's on Mingtai Mountain. There's a Qingfeng Temple there, and it's been very popular with worshippers these past two years. Many people like to go there to play..."

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat: "Mingtai Mountain? Qingfeng Temple?"
