Chapter 403: Chapter 277: The Life of the Rich (8000 Word Goal Achieved)_2

The depression of the rich really is something beyond the comprehension of the common folk. Could it really be just as someone said, that the lives of the wealthy are always so dull and uninteresting?

Qiuxiao Yunai sat ungracefully on the edge of the corridor as she continued, "That’s why I say it’s strange. I’ve even heard from doctors that the girl was always so gentle towards everyone, always smiling, the quiet and well-mannered type of lady. But this incident about the wish to alter her look has always been suppressed; after all, her father is still a party leader. If unsettling rumors like this came out, that party’s reputation could plummet overnight."

The more I heard, the more preposterous it seemed. Would the well-mannered type even think about getting plastic surgery? It just didn’t add up.

But that was all the information Qiuxiao Yunai had, and Beichuan Si had to nod, "I understand the situation you’re describing."

"What? You understand?!" Qiuxiao Yunai stood up from the corridor edge, her face a picture of surprise, "You already know why that girl was like that? Have you figured out a reason?"

"I just meant that I roughly grasp the circumstances you’re talking about," Beichuan Si took another look at Qiuxiao Yunai, "What do you think I am? You think I can analyze the psyche of someone with depression from just a smattering of information?"

"But you are Lord God Beichuan," Qiuxiao Yunai appeared quite self-assured.

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si didn’t even want to chastise this older young woman; he simply looked away and took a step forward.

"Hey! Wait, Mr. Beichuan, what are you planning to do?!"

"Going back to ask Nanami some questions."

Beichuan Si walked back inside without turning his head.

He was actually quite curious why Nanami Qiao Nai was so confident in someone she had only met once.

By all accounts, if this was to be dealt with, it should fully be in the realm of medical professionals, which had nothing to do with someone like him who dealt with disgruntled spirits for no good reason.

If Nanami Qiao Nai could provide a solid and credible reason, it wasn’t as if Beichuan Si was unwilling to lend a hand.

After all, gaining a favor through such matters would no doubt be beneficial for Beichuan Si.

That was support from a well-known political party... Even if Beichuan Si graduated from Kyubei, and Beichuan Huili lost her drive and became even more lethargic, Beichuan Si was confident he could use this favor to get her into a great school.

"Nanami, why do you think I can help your friend?" Beichuan Si called Nanami Qiao Nai over from Shen Gu Mirai and asked clearly.

"Be-because... Sister Shan Yuan has the same thing as Brother Beichuan... that dark, dark thing..." Nanami Qiao Nai blinked her big eyes, answering honestly.

The same, dark thing...?

Hearing this, Beichuan Si seemed to understand.

"Are you talking about this?" Beichuan Si extended his palm, and the sinister death energy billowed out, its deep, ink-like blackness as if it could lower the temperature significantly.

Since Shen Gu Mirai and Qiuxiao Yunai were already aware of his abilities, there was no need to hide them any longer.

"Mhm." Nanami Qiao Nai nodded, her tone somewhat uncertain, "But... Sister Shan Yuan’s is much fainter than what’s on Brother Beichuan’s hand."

Death energy emitting from the body of someone still alive?

Beichuan Si’s expression shifted.

Apart from the sisters Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang, this was the second time Beichuan Si had heard of someone with an ability similar to death energy.

Originally he had thought it was just a simple case of a girl with psychological issues, but now it seemed like there might be other hidden factors. It looked like Beichuan Si would have to visit the hospital to see for himself.

If he was to go tomorrow, he should bring along Shenzhu Shihui and Nishijou Kurenai.

After all, both Shenzhu Shihui and Nishijou Kurenai were good spirits, plus Shihui had come from Shenzhu Village and possessed a wealth of knowledge about Spiritual Bodies.

With her assistance, resolving this issue should not be too difficult.

As for whether she would agree to help...

Shenzhu Shihui had already received the mobile phone with the sensing pen, and Nishijou Kelian had moved into a better dollhouse as she had hoped; for the moment, neither of them had any reason to refuse Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si’s planning was impeccable; several strategies had already been formulated in his mind.

"Next up is the business of the Beichuan Divine Society. I still have some documents to hand over to Miss Mirai... Of course, it would be best if Miss Mirai were willing to come and take a look at our branch herself."

Since the discussion about the girl in the hospital was over, Qiuxiao Yunai had no hesitation in starting to talk to Shen Gu Mirai about the specific handover details of the Beichuan Divine Society.

Truth be told, in the mind of Beichuan Si, it was Shen Gu Mirai who gave the orders, while Qiuxiao Yunai was used as a... no, as a messenger to coordinate the entire operation.

Shen Gu Mirai couldn’t make a public appearance; she was still a high school student, and the exposure of her managing a religious group was somewhat precarious to anyone thinking about it.

"After all, as soon as Mr. Beichuan shows his face, the believers work as if they were struck by a fit. I know it sounds like an unscrupulous boss, but if you, Mr. Beichuan, were to step in..." Qiuxiao Yunai curled her lip in dissatisfaction with Beichuan Si’s hands-off approach.

As soon as Qiuxiao Yunai’s mouth turned down, Beichuan Si, without any expression, pinched her round face.

"Ouch! I’m wrong! I’m wrong! I’ll stop talking! Let go! Mr. Beichuan! Let go quickly!"

Beichuan Si didn’t care and kept squeezing her squishy face until red marks appeared before finally letting go.

"...Sss..." Qiuxiao Yunai massaged her face, looking at Beichuan Si’s hand with fear and trepidation, then turned her little head toward Shen Gu Mirai, who was organizing the documents, and whispered, "Is Mr. Beichuan always like this?"

"Hehehe..." Shen Gu Mirai could only laugh nervously, not daring to engage in the conversation raised by Qiuxiao Yunai.

It was clear that Qiuxiao Yunai hadn’t been disciplined enough by Beichuan Si, which was why such a question came from her. Let Beichuan Si discipline her a couple more times, and she would become obedient, no longer daring to say an extra word.

But what was truly crucial for Shen Gu Mirai right now was still the information at hand.

The documents of the Beichuan Divine Society were divided into several parts; amongst them, personnel deployment, activity planning, and the establishment of branches and training halls were the most critical.

There should have been an additional section on financial issues.

However, thanks to the generous support from Nanami Member and the reliance on the Qiuxiao Conglomerate, financial concerns had been diminished.

Shen Gu Mirai and Qiuxiao Yunai were busy confirming various matters, while Beichuan Si kept asking Nanami Qiao Nai for more information about Miss Shan Yuan, hoping to get more details from her side.

But Nanami Qiao Nai was young, and even though she was more mature than most, she hadn’t noticed much useful information.

Beichuan Si, therefore, had to temporarily give up questioning her.

...

After being busy until after seven in the evening, Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai ate dinner at Qiuxiao Yunai’s house and then planned to leave.

As they were about to leave, Qiuxiao Yunai seemed to remember something and handed a USB drive to Beichuan Si.

"This contains information about Miss Shan Yuan, which should be helpful to you, Mr. Beichuan. Take a look when you have time... Also, Miss Shen Gu, the USB drive I gave you contains many secret documents of the Beichuan Divine Society, which I hope can be of some use to you."

"I understand," Shen Gu Mirai touched the USB drive in her pocket.

Secret documents...

If they were labeled as ’secret’, they must be very important to the Beichuan Divine Society.

Shen Gu Mirai gripped the USB drive tightly, feeling she must protect this important document.

"Then we’ll take our leave," said Beichuan Si slowly after Qiuxiao Yunai had finished all the instructions she had to give.

The two of them bid goodbye to Qiuxiao Yunai and Nanami Qiao Nai, then merged into the vast night—

It was time to go home.
