“In that case, wouldn’t we be able to use such a mechanism to earn money?”

Cui Yu’s eyes lit up.

Qi Ying smiled. This was indeed a way to earn money, but she did not plan to use this method to earn money for the time being.

The next day, it was time to meet Bai Ke for dinner.

The Bai family sent a BMW to pick up Bai Ke and Qi Ying.

The Bai family’s house was located in the seaside villa area in Baicheng. It was facing north and south, and the rooms were also very beautiful.

The moment he opened the door to the back garden, he could see the beach outside. The scenery was excellent and the area was open.

As soon as Qi Ying and Bai Ke entered, the Bai family’s parents welcomed them.

Bai Ke’s father, Bai Yin, was the current head of the Bai family. He was about 50 years old this year and was doing very well in politics.

Bai Yin’s father passed away a few years ago. The Bai family’s old madam, Song Hui, lived with Bai Yin and Chang Yue. Bai Yin only had one younger brother, Bai Cheng. Although there was a twenty-five-year gap between the two, the two brothers had always been close.

“Miss Qi, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Chang Yue looked at Qi Ying and smiled.

Chang Yue was 45 years old this year and had taken good care of herself. She was also very energetic.

“Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I’m Qi Ying.” Qi Ying nodded slightly and looked at the people in front of her.

Chang Yue and Bai Yin also sized up Qi Ying.

Qi Ying was wearing a simple school uniform. As the weather had turned cold, she was wearing a black fur coat with a fur collar. She had a noble and mysterious aura. Moreover, her every move was so elegant and calm, as if she was a daughter from an aristocratic family.

The most amazing thing was her cat eyes. When she looked at someone, they always felt an invisible pressure.

“Come in and take a seat. Don’t stand on ceremony,” Bai Cheng called out to Qi Ying.

He originally thought that Qi Ying would be a strange-looking expert, but he did not expect her to be a beauty.

Bai Cheng did not work in politics and usually managed the Bai family’s business. He had seen many beauties, but he felt a little attracted to Qi Ying.

Her bright, intelligent eyes drew him like a whirlpool.

The family sat at the table. A kind old lady was already sitting at the table. It was Bai Yin’s mother, Song Hui.

When the old lady saw Qi Ying, she smiled and said, “I’m not in good health and can’t walk, so I couldn’t go and welcome Miss Qi. I hope Miss Qi won’t blame me.”

“Of course not. Grandma, you must be joking. Your health is more important,” Qi Ying said.

Qi Ying sat down in her seat and looked at the furnishings around the Bai family. She even glanced at Song Hui’s legs.

It was normal for elderly people to have weak legs, but Qi Ying felt that something was wrong.

She felt a positive spiritual aura in the Bai family, but the only thing she felt was resentment where the old lady was. Could there be something wrong with the old lady?

Qi Ying did not say anything and just quietly started eating.

The Bai family made steaming hotpot. As Qi Ying ate, she recalled her days living with Ma Xi in the village.

There were not many resources in the mountain village. At the start, Ma Xi was not rich. The only thing the grandmother and granddaughter enjoyed was a steaming hotpot in the winter.

During the meal, Chang Yue kept praising Qi Ying’s looks and etiquette. She even told Bai Ke to learn from Qi Ying.

Bai Ke protested, “I’m also very polite. Why are you only talking about me? Little Uncle isn’t very polite. Why don’t you talk about him!”

Bai Cheng was looking at Qi Ying in a daze when he was suddenly asked. He looked at Bai Ke and said, “Yes, I am.”

Chang Yue laughed. “Uncle, you’re eating so seriously that you don’t even know what our Xiao Ke is talking about.”

The family had been chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very happy. Qi Ying’s mood also relaxed a little.

The family also invited her for a walk on the beach after dinner.

Chang Yue seemed to like her a lot and kept talking to her.

“What kind of witch is Miss Qi? Are there different levels?”

“No, I’m a lone witch. All my cultivation is done according to my Teacher’s instructions.”

Chang Yue nodded. “Then, have you ever encountered such a situation where people are pestered by evil spirits and keep getting sick?”

Qi Ying frowned. “Is there an elder in the Bai family who’s sick?”

Chang Yue sighed. “It’s my mother-in-law. You saw it just now. Actually, my mother-in-law used to be very healthy, but she went on a trip with us last year and couldn’t walk anymore.”
