Kato Megumi had been watching Lin Qi's expression closely, so she could clearly see that he was indifferent to the matter. In other words, he didn't care about it at all; in his eyes, it was probably just a trivial matter.
After a moment of silence, the group decided to go back together, since the scene they had witnessed earlier that day had also startled them.
At the same time, it was the first time they had ever seen this thing, so they decided to go home and calm down.
After Lin Qi and the others left, the atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward. Finally, Yukino couldn't help but speak first:
"Lin Qijun, what exactly is this thing?"
After hearing this, Lin Qi thought for a moment, then tried to speak in a somewhat uncertain tone:
"This thing is a bit like a curse, or rather, a ghost!"
"It works behind each of you, absorbing your energy and spirit daily. Then, through these, it feeds back to the main body."
"At the beginning, you'll only feel weak for a little over an hour. You'll regain your energy the next day, but in the long run, you'll definitely suffer irreversible damage. Then, after a while, you'll be dead because you'll lose all your energy."
"Not only can it kill you, but it can also provide you with a fixed amount of experience points in a short period of time."
"But the only thing that intrigues me is whether you were just unlucky enough to be afflicted by these things, or whether someone is targeting your home and planning to wipe out your entire family."
After hearing Lin Qi's words, Yukino's face showed a look of lingering fear, followed by a feeling of anger. Who could be so vicious?
"Can you help me solve this?"
Yukino's eyes held a hopeful look.
Lin Qi nodded as he looked at the girl's expectant gaze.
Upon hearing this, Yukino's eyes lit up, but Lin Qi's next words gave her the urge to beat this bastard to death.
"But Yukino, you know who I am. What kind of reward are you going to give me?"
Yukino initially thought this guy was going to do a good deed, but she didn't expect him to ask for payment. Although there's nothing wrong with this behavior, after all, hiring professionals requires paying them.
However, the look in this guy's eyes gave her a bad feeling.
Yukino indicated that she was quite familiar with those looks; this guy was clearly up to something, and she said no way. He pretended not to know and spoke in a calm tone tinged with anger:
"What do you want in return?"
"If you want money, just name a number. If you help resolve this matter, I believe Mother and the others will give you a satisfactory amount!"

P.S.: My new book is launching and I desperately need the support of all you handsome guys, beautiful girls, and big shots! Don't miss out! I'm begging for your support—please add it to your favorites, recommend it, share it, give it flowers, anything! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so. Thank you everyone! I'm bowing down to you all!

Chapter 44 Lin Qi: In my eyes, considering equals agreeing
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes were filled with disdain, as if to say, "Is that all?"
"Come on, do you think I look like someone who's short of money?"
Upon hearing this, Yukino fell silent. As far as she knew, this light novel author, who was a phenomenal success, was certainly not short of money.
"I have nothing else to offer you besides this."
Yukino thought about it and decided to play dumb, since this guy looked like he wanted to eat her up. She really didn't dare face him.
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi stretched out his finger and shook it.
"No, no, no, you can give me what I want."
"Actually, I'm not a greedy person; one kiss is enough."
Yukino fell silent after hearing Lin Qi's words. This guy had the nerve to say that wasn't greedy enough. She knew he'd hardly ever had any intimate contact with the opposite sex growing up. And now he was asking for a kiss?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Don't you think your request is excessive?"
Yukino thought for a moment and still said those words. However, to his surprise, she didn't seem to think it was a big deal when she heard it. Instead, she spoke in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Excessive? Sorry, I really don't think my request is excessive."
"Don't you realize that with your family's resources, you can't possibly hire any top-tier big shots to help you?"
"And if that thing is one of those tricky ones, and I've helped you solve it, it's like I've saved your whole family's lives. Is it too much to ask for a kiss?"
Yukino fell silent after hearing this. She wasn't stupid; if the problem was really that serious, this wasn't an exaggeration at all!
However, she couldn't quite accept being asked to do this to me, which resulted in a very conflicted expression on her cute little face.
Lynch was not in a hurry at all, saying he was sitting back and taking it easy.
Yukino, looking at this leisurely guy, finally gritted her teeth and spoke:
"If the problem is really that serious, I can consider it after things are over."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Lin Qi couldn't help but purse his lips. This wasn't sincere at all. What did he mean by "I can consider it"?
However, he didn't say much, but nodded to indicate that it was a deal.
Yukino breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. After all, thinking about it was one thing, but agreeing was another. These were two different things, okay?
Yukino couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.
However, while she was feeling smug, she never considered whether someone had thought about this factor for her.
After all, in someone's eyes, this so-called "considering it over" is equivalent to "I agree to it".
After all, he held the initiative; he was the one who wielded the power.
Yukino, a girl who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life, is indeed a little naive, believing that Lynch will obediently keep his promise. Lynch, on the other hand, thinks, "Girl, you're overthinking it. I'll teach you a lesson later!"
Thus, the two, harboring their own ulterior motives, arrived at the school gate, whereupon they saw a luxury car appear. The car door opened, and a woman with short hair, who looked about 70% like Yukino and appeared to be wealthy, wearing a large, mature woman in a suit, stepped out.
"Yukino, get in the car quickly."
"And this student who learned it, hurry up and come up too."
Lin Qi didn't waste any words and sat down directly. However, the seating arrangement was a bit awkward. With Yang Nai pulling him along, Lin Qi sat in the middle, while the two sisters sat on either side.
Yukino looked at Lin Qi, who had blond hair, in front of her. Having heard some things from her younger sister, she knew how to interact with him. She simply smiled sweetly and began:
"Lin Qi-kun, I am Yukino's older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno. It's nice to meet you."
Looking at the expression on this plus-size Yukino's face, Lin Qi thought the acting was too fake.
Lin Qi also put on a smile, and it looked like a very genuine smile.
"My name is Lin Qi. It's nice to meet you, Yang Nai-nee."
"I never imagined that Yukino's older sister would be such a beautiful woman."
Looking at Lin Qi's expression, Yukino Yukino had to admit that it was flawless. She almost thought that he really was that kind of person. However, after so many years of experience, her intuition told her that he was completely unrelated to that kind of innocence.
Yang felt like she had met her match.
"Oh! Thank you for your compliment, Lin Qijun."
"You're a handsome guy too."
Then, with smiles on their faces, the two began to flatter each other.
Yukino, who was sitting on the edge, felt she couldn't take it anymore!
After all, she prefers things to be real, and this kind of insincere mutual flattery between the two of them made her feel a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, Yukino expressed that she never expected that her deskmate, who usually seemed to be just a little bit lazy, could turn into a cunning old fox in an instant.
Especially considering what kind of person her sister is, doesn't she know? As it turns out, judging from her sister's attitude just now, she didn't gain any advantage at all.
After exchanging compliments, the two got down to business.
"Lin Qijun, first of all, I thank you for being willing to help after discovering this problem."
"And there's something I need to make clear to you first."
Lin Qi was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
"Sister Yang Nai, you can say whatever you want to say."
Upon hearing Lin Qi's nonchalant words, Yukino took a deep breath, then spoke in a businesslike tone, as if she had entered work mode:
“I just contacted my mother and learned that she is also experiencing this problem. She sensed something was wrong and has already called in professionals who are on their way to our home.”
"She originally intended to resolve the matter directly, but she didn't expect me to find out about it. After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, she said that she had hired professionals to handle it."
"So there's no need for us to worry."
Yang Nai said this with an apologetic look on his face.
After all, Yang Nai hadn't expected that her mother had already asked someone to handle this matter, which meant that there was no need for Lin Qi to come and help!
Moreover, there were some things she didn't say, such as her mother expressing disbelief in the other person's abilities after learning that the other person was also a student.
Yang Nai decided to tell the other party about this in a tactful way. After all, the other party was her sister's classmate, and she had only come to help because she saw that the other party had a problem.
So no matter what, the attitude must be appropriate.
Besides, I just fought with the other party for a while, and I know that this person is not simple, so there is no need to leave a bad impression!
Before Lin Qi could speak, Yukino interrupted and spoke first.
"Sister, you said that Mother has already asked someone to get rid of this thing."
Yang Nai nodded after hearing her sister's words.
"That's right, I heard it's already on its way."
"The other party is a professional Onmyoji."
"He's actually quite well-known in the industry."
Yang Nai's tone was full of emotion as he said this, and he also showed a hint of envy towards Yi Qi Liu San Er E, after all, who wouldn't want to have such power?
Yukino never expected things to turn out this way. Then, she glanced at Lin Qi, whose expression hadn't changed at all, and thinking of how Lin Qi looked back then, she made a decision in her heart.
Yukino looked at Lin Qi and spoke in an apologetic tone:
"Lin Qijun, I am very sorry that this situation occurred because of a lack of communication on our side."
"But I hope you can accompany me back to the palace."
That's right! Compared to those somewhat famous Onmyoji, Yukino was more willing to believe in the one who gave her the feeling of being a god, Lin Qi.
Yang Nai found this interesting; her sister actually trusted the other party so much.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
P.S.: My new book is launching and I desperately need the support of all you handsome guys, beautiful girls, and big shots! Don't miss out! I'm begging for your support—please add it to your favorites, recommend it, share it, give it flowers, anything! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you everyone! I'm practically begging you all!
Chapter 45 This guy's trying to get both money and women!
Yang Nai was somewhat tempted, but she didn't interrupt, since the final decision rested with Lin Qi. Besides, she wasn't particularly close to him, so it was best for her sister to speak on her behalf.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Lin Qi immediately replied with an indifferent expression:
"I don't mind that. I'm quite interested in seeing what level those so-called Onmyoji are at."
"If it crashes, your mom will laugh herself to death."
Lin Qi spoke these words without any politeness, causing both sisters to frown slightly.
However, the two of them thought that the other might also be unhappy, after all, they came to help out of kindness, and this was the result?
If Lin Qi knew what the two of them were thinking, he would say they were overthinking it; he was just saying it offhand.
After all, he had never actually seen those Onmyoji take action before, and he wanted to see for himself.
When the person returned to the mansion, Madam Yukinoshita was already waiting outside, as if to greet someone. She remained calm upon seeing her two daughters, but seemed somewhat surprised to see Lin Qi get out of the car. She guessed that the person was someone her younger daughter had invited to help, but hadn't she said she didn't need it? Why had the person come?
But she didn't show any bad attitude. After all, it's best not to offend people who have access to this kind of thing; there's no need to!
It's important to understand that scenarios where someone chooses to mock another out of disdain are highly unlikely to occur in reality. Especially for those in positions of power within a family like theirs, this is something they understand very well. Sometimes, it's best not to offend someone unnecessarily.
Especially those with unclear backgrounds, not to mention someone like Lin Qi who might also possess extraordinary powers!
Lady Yukinoshita greeted Lin Qi upon seeing him.
"I presume you are the classmate I mentioned earlier, Mr. Lin Qi!"
Seeing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, such a mocking scene was rarely encountered in real life. Since the other party also had this attitude, he couldn't possibly act too arrogantly.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Yukinoshita. I am Lin Qi. Please take care of me."
