Chapter 100 – Young

Xu Jian and Qin Chen saw with their own eyes that after Jiang Linxie had Xu Jian drink his blood, Xu Jian changed from a human to a cat.

Finally, Jiang Linxie picked up the still unconscious white cat, glanced at the black car driver, and then disappeared with the cat in place. At the same time, the black car suddenly caught fire, and the truck driver was anxious to see if the people in the car were dead or alive. As a result, an evil wind blew so close to him that it was even difficult to open his eyes.

When the wind stopped and he could open his eyes, the driver saw that his truck was safe and sound, but the car next to him burned to a pitch-black frame…

As for the driver in the driver’s seat of the car, he was burned into black charcoal and was completely unrecognizable.

These scenes after scenes were played in Xu Jian like a movie, making him unable to recover for a while.

“Go back.”^[1]It means snap out of it or go back to reality in this context.

With a snap of fingers, all the scenes were like a broken mirror, broken in front of their eyes, then quickly peeled.

When Xu Jian and Qin Chen opened their eyes again, they saw that they had returned to Jiang Linxie’s office. Instead of the burning car and the panicked truck driver in front of them, they looked at the beaming Jiang Linxie at them.

Seeing Jiang Linxie’s face again, Xu Jian’s first words were, “So, it was you who saved me. Are you a cat demon ah?!”

Jiang Linxie raised his eyebrow and told a corny joke, “Before the founding of the country, becoming a spirit is legal.”

Xu Jian didn’t find this joke funny at all, but Qin Chen asked, “Why didn’t you say these things earlier?”

Jiang Linxie said before that he had no evil intentions, but his words were unfounded, so Qin Chen has always been hostile to him.

Jiang Linxie took a sip of tea slowly, his tone was very much asking for a beating, “If you say everything in advance, it won’t be fun.”

As a near-immortal demon, Jiang Linxie doesn’t even remember how many years he has lived. Perhaps it’s too boring or perhaps it’s to repay Xu Yun’s favor, for the first time, he intervened in human affairs and gave Xu Yun to drink his own blood. Unfortunately, Xu Yun couldn’t hold on in the end.

After Xu Yun and his wife had a teenage son, he created a human identity for himself, changed the truth about the car accident that year, and changed the little girl saved by Xu Jian’s parents into himself, who got off work from an internship company.

When Xu Jian was determined to become an actor, Jiang Linxie established Degu. He didn’t have the mind to take care of it, so he let Degu exist so tepidly for more than ten years.

As for the matter of He Jia and Sister Shang, Jiang Linxie had actually always known, but just turned a blind eye to it.

If Xu Jian wants to mix in the entertainment industry, he can’t do it if he doesn’t have a heart. He has a character of not fighting and snatching. If he doesn’t temper himself, if he really steps in, he can be chewed by other people with no bones left.

Qin Chen’s complexion didn’t look good when he heard this. “Xu Jian’s car accident, is it also under your control?”

Xu Jian also looked at Jiang Linxie curiously, but the latter shook his head, “I was away on the day of his accident.”

Facing Qin Chen’s gaze, Jiang Linxie sighed helplessly.

“If I really did that on purpose, why would I save him? Do you think bleeding doesn’t hurt?”

Xu Jian was successfully convinced by Jiang Linxie and asked him another question, “Then can I still become a normal person in the future?”

He can’t go on like this for the rest of his life, right?

Meeting Xu Jian’s expectant eyes, Jiang Linxie paused and finally told him with regret, “No.”

Xu Jian was no less injured than his father. The reason why he was able to survive but Xu Yun didn’t was because Jiang Linxie gave him a lot of blood to drink and got his life back.

It was also because Jiang Linxie had too much blood in his body that he turned into a cat.

Jiang Linxie: “You have my blood flowing in you. You’re already an atypical human. The situation of becoming a cat can only be controlled, but will not disappear completely.”

Xu Jian’s shoulders suddenly collapsed, his hopes were dashed.

He originally thought that according to the method of crossing the Yang Qi, as long as Qin Chen gave him enough Yang Qi, the cat wouldn’t be able to catch up to him.

Unexpectedly… ai.

Qin Chen glanced at Xu Jian’s wrist and asked, “This bell can help him control the change?”

Jiang Linxie nodded, “That’s right.”

Xu Jian didn’t give up and asked again, “Then the time to becoming a cat can be shortened? Or can I control it freely?”

“That is possible.” Jiang Linxie said, “You can’t control changing from human to cat at will now because my blood and your body haven’t fully integrated. The first few changes, you will feel uncomfortable because of your body’s rejection.”

Xu Jian saw hope, his eyes lit up. “What should I do?”

As soon as Jiang Linxie raised his hand, the empty cup next to him flew in front of him, then he raised his hand and wiped it—

Looking at Jiang Linxie, who bled as soon as he said a word, Xu Jian was startled. Before he could speak to stop him, there was already a full cup there.

Pushing the cup in front of Xu Jian, Jiang Linxie looked at him, “Drink it.”

Xu Jian was shocked, “Still drink?”

There was a strong mint scent in the air. This time, Xu Jian finally determined that Jiang Linxie’s blood was really mint smell.

Seeing Xu Jian’s shocked expression, Jiang Linxie asked instead of answering, “I’ve put it all, if you can’t drink it, do I drink it?”

Xu Jian turned his head and glanced at Qin Chen beside him, the latter nodded gently to him.

Jiang Linxie’s blood can save lives, there’s no harm in drinking it.

Seeing Qin Chen nodded, Xu Jian gritted his teeth, raised his head and drank with his eyes closed.

The last time he drank Jiang Linxie’s blood, he didn’t realize it. Xu Jian thought it was blood anyway. Even if it smelled of mint, it was a bit bloody and sticky in the mouth, but he didn’t expect it to be sweet.

Xu Jian was amazed, “President Jiang, your blood is unexpectedly sweet!”

Jiang Linxie didn’t want to discuss the taste of his blood with others at all. After glancing at Xu Jian quite speechlessly, he raised his hand and waved, a black umbrella appeared in front of Xu Jian and Qin Chen.

Xu Jian lowered his eyes to look at the black umbrella, stunned. “This is…”

Jiang Linxie: “The one your father gave me back then also counts as his remnants. Today, I return it to you.”

The black umbrella was well preserved, no different from what Xu Jian saw in Jiang Linxie’s memories.

Looking at this umbrella, Xu Jian suddenly remembered that Jiang Linxie’s WeChat avatar was a black umbrella, so it should be this one.

He couldn’t help but reach out and touch the handle of the umbrella, and finally, Xu Jian slowly shook his head.

“Since my Dad has given it to you, there’s no reason to take it back. You should keep it.”

Jiang Linxie didn’t force him either. After retracting the umbrella, it changed into a photo.

“Then you can keep this as a gift from me.”

Xu Jian looked up and saw that it was a photo of his parents. The two stood side by side, holding hands, and smiling at the camera.

After staring at the photo for a while, Xu Jian carefully^[2]Like a precious thing put away the photo with a serious face, and thanked Jiang Linxie.

Everything was clarified. Jiang Linxie said that he had already dealt with He Jia’s matter, so that they will no longer have to be distracted and worried about it.

When it was time to say goodbye, Xu Jian asked Jiang Linxie one last question, “Can I ask, why did you save me?”

Jiang Linxie smiled and replied, “I have a fate^[3]Brought together by fate with your father.”

Back then, Jiang Linxie just came out to relieve boredom. In his demon state, ordinary people couldn’t see him, but Xu Yun saw him and sent him an umbrella in the heavy rain.

Because of this, Jiang Linxie was moved by compassion.

Xu Jian didn’t get to the bottom of it either. After getting his answer, he nodded, thanked him, and left with Qin Chen.

On the way back, Xu Jian was silent all the way to his parents’ photo. Knowing that he was in a heavy mood, Qin Chen didn’t bother him and left him alone for a while.

When he arrived in Nanfeng City, after getting off the highway, Xu Jian finally opened his mouth and said his first words after getting into the car, “Brother Chen, I want to buy a picture frame.”

Qin Chen nodded, “Okay.”

Before going home, the two went to buy another picture frame. After they got home, Xu Jian put the photo of his parents on the bedside table.

Half an hour later, Xu Jian came out of his room, full of blood,^[4]Not literally, it’s like when you’re back to life and become energeticsmiling and asking Qin Chen what they were going to eat tonight.

The past has passed, and the past and the deceased are suitable for remembering, but people always have to look forward.

…………

The case of Liu Qianqian hiring a murderer to kidnap was soon had results. Liu Qianqian faced a huge compensation and criminal detention. As for Wu San Jiang, Sun Liyu, and the others, all of them landed in jail. After sorting out their criminal records, they were punished for several crimes.

As a fugitive murderer, Wu San Jiang’s death penalty is inevitable.

The matter has nothing to do with Liu Qianqian’s father, Liu Teng; Liu Qianqian is already an adult. He is considered as not knowing how to teach his child at most.

But the beloved daughter went to jail and her life was tainted. Liu Teng didn’t know if it was because of guilt or anger towards the Qin Family, a resignation letter was sent to Qin Chen’s father email and he directly resigned.

When something like this happened, there was a rift between the two families. Father Qin also didn’t urge him to stay. For the sake of his years of hard work for Leyu, he asked the finance to pay him an extra two years of salary.

The case was so widely implicated that it made the front page of the legal section of Nanfeng City Daily, and it caused a lot of buzz on Weibo. Qin Chen and Xu Jian both used aliases—A certain Chen and a certain Jian respectively. ^[5]The character used was different. Instead of “沉” the “陈”was used for QC. The same with XJ’s Jian from “涧” to “简”

After solving Liu Qianqian’s matter, Xu Jian immediately entered the group to shoot <Chaotic Steps and Flying Swords>. At the same time, the movie <The Slayer> also officially entered the promotion period. The Slayer’s official blog began to release trailers and tidbits.

The day before Xu Jian entered the group, he also went to the movie press conference to be a soy sauce.^[6]Fig. “It has nothing to do with me, I’m just passing by” At the press conference, the director did his best to give Pan Min and Leyu a favor, letting Xu Jian stand in the middle and Qin Chen are separated by Shen Xi and Male Two.

Qin Chen took care of Xu Jian. The host had meaningful glances and cued Xu Jian several times, so Xu Jian didn’t become a background board at the press conference.

At the press conference, the director’s team released a collection of footage that had never been made public before, including the scene where Xu Jian confronted Qin Chen when he was killed.

Fans at the press conference were in high spirits, and there was also a lively discussion on Weibo. Among them, Qin Chen and Shen Xi were the most discussed, followed by the female lead and Xu Jian.

In the popular Weibo of the Super Talk Square of <The Slayer>, many people discussed Xu Jian, a newcomer to the movie:

[Who is that Xu Feng’s actor ah, seems familiar!]

[Wow, the casting of the movie feels great. Watching the footage, Xu Feng’s actor’s acting skills also surprised me.]

[I’m not afraid of the villain being bad, but afraid of the handsome villain. Little Brother Xu Feng, I can!]^[7]I translated “I can” literally which is an internet buzzword that means be fascinated by some people you meet for the first time or be in love with an item, implying a liking for some … Continue reading

[Isn’t this Xu Jian the newcomer signed by Leyu before? Judging from the scene of the press conference, Qin Chen took good care of him.]

[Little Brother Xu Jian looks gentle and soft, but I didn’t expect him to be so cool when he played the villain!]

[Am I thinking too much? Why does Qin Chen look at Xu Jian so often?]

There are also many fans who feel angry and complain frantically about the agency company in the comments section:

[Dog money company, letting irrelevant people suck my Brother Qin’s blood again, and bring new people so obviously. Are you afraid that people won’t see it?]

[Qiuqiu^[8]Homonym for begging/asking. 球=求 Company, be a person ba, stop sucking my brother’s blood!]

There is also to clear the relationship between Xu Jian and Qin Chen:

[Taking my gege away, stay away from him. Don’t give some people eyes, and don’t be too obvious when stepping on people.]

Xiao Nan who watched the Super Talk:

These fans are still too young.
