Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 787: Changing Fortune

Lu’s mother was extremely surprised.

How could she know about these things?

Xiao Xue had grown up with Yafei and knew a lot about her, but she seldom talked to outsiders about her own family matters.

Even Xiao Xue couldn’t possibly know, let alone tell this stranger who they had met only once.

Could she really have divined it?

Seeing Lu’s mother still half-doubting, Song Xue stepped forward and earnestly said, "Aunt Lu, you know, I would never harm Xiao Xue. Master Jiang is really incredible. It was she who figured out that something was off with Yafei. Anyway, we’ve tried everything by now, why not let her have a try?"

Lu’s mother hesitated for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.

"That’s true," she said, looking at Jiang Li, "Child, though you are young, I can see you don’t have a bad heart. Whether you can help or not, we are grateful to you."

Jiang Li could tell that this family was all good people.

And they must have cultivated blessings for several generations to have such a peaceful and smooth life in this one.

Under these circumstances, it was even less likely that they would encounter such a sudden mishap.

Jiang Li patted Lu’s mother’s hand, signaling her to be at ease, and then put on a sterile suit and followed the doctors into the hospital room.

On the hospital bed, Lu Yafei was hooked up to many tubes, and all sorts of monitoring equipment surrounded her.

Aside from her overly pale and sickly appearance, Jiang Li noticed something was off at a glance.

Normally, the Life Palace of a gravely ill person should be collapsed and dark, yet this Lu Yafei not only had an excessively concave Life Palace, but it also emanated a sinister red and black light.

Ordinary people definitely couldn’t see it, but she practiced mysticism so she could tell the difference right away.

Jiang Li didn’t feel reassured and sat down beside the bed. She took Lu Yafei’s hand and placed it on her wrist to take her pulse.

Father Lu was quite astonished and whispered, "Does this young girl actually know Chinese medicine too?"

Actually, Jiang Li wasn’t entirely taking her pulse. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

In the Xuan Sect, there was a technique used to observe a person’s Fate by feeling their pulse.

This was her master’s unique skill.

She had been slowly figuring it out since returning to the modern era, and only now had she gotten some insight.

Soon, she sensed something was off and turned to look at everyone.

"I need to be alone for a while; please could everyone step outside for a bit."

Lu’s mother looked at her daughter worriedly, but still walked out with Song Xue.

Once everyone had left the hospital room, Jiang Li’s gaze deepened as she looked at Lu Yafei lying on the bed, lifted her hand, bit her fingertip, and drew a sinister blood-red pattern on her wrist.

Then she took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it onto the pattern.

Accompanying her silent chant, Lu Yafei’s body started trembling slightly, and soon after, a strange symbol appeared on her forehead at her Life Palace.

The symbol was dark and mystical, and just one look made Jiang Li furrow her brows.

"A curse has indeed been cast."

...

Changqing Temple.

"Mr. He, we will conclude today’s lesson here. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you, Taoist Changqing."

After watching He Yun leave, Changqing’s sleeve vibrated vigorously.

At first he was puzzled, but then he realized it was the new phone he had bought making the noise, so he took out the black device.

He wasn’t accustomed to using such high-tech gadgets, so he didn’t even bother setting up a password.

Despite that, he was still quite clumsy with it.

After some struggle, he finally realized that the vibration was from a Weibo direct message.

The message was from Jiang Li.

She had sent a picture with a text beneath it—"Could I ask what curse this is?"

Taoist Changqing stared intently for a while, his expression also turned serious. He immediately stood up and went to the Scripture Pavilion.

Half an hour later, he returned.

"It’s a fusion of multiple forbidden techniques, capable of transferring someone’s fate."

"Where did you come across this harmful thing?"

As the name suggests, transferring fate means to transfer one person’s fortune to another.

At its simplest, it’s a transfer of luck, making the person who cast the curse more prosperous.

But at its worst, it’s a transfer of life itself.

Stealthily stealing another person’s allotted lifespan.

This is a great taboo in the Xuan Sect.

Seeing that the answer was similar to his own guess, Jiang Li replied, "It belongs to one of my clients. Thank you. I’ll come by your temple and offer incense another day."

Taoist Changqing’s service was very thorough. Not only did he clarify the origins of the forbidden technique, but he even sent her part of the method for breaking it.

"The person who cast the curse has malicious intentions. If you can’t handle it alone, inform me in time."

"Okay."

After closing his phone, Jiang Li focused on studying the method to break the curse.

This forbidden technique, although not difficult to undo after being personally altered, was extremely complicated.

Fortunately, the person hadn’t been harsh on Lu Yafei, and the curse cast was only a small one that usurped her fortune. However, accumulated over the years, it indeed could be fatal.

Soon, a morning passed by.

Seeing that there was no movement in the hospital room, the Lu couple stood outside, extremely anxious.

Lu’s mother couldn’t eat a bite, anxiously staring at the forbidding closed door.

"Xiao Xue, do you think... there could be any problems?"

Song Xue’s heart was also in turmoil, but she still calmly comforted Lu’s mother.

"Aunt Lu, don’t worry. Everything is fine. The alarm in Yafei’s room is on. If there’s any trouble, there would be a sign. Isn’t the absence of a sign indicative that everything is fine?"

Hearing Song Xue say this, Lu’s mother was slightly reassured.

Finally, after another hour, the door handle of the sickroom turned.

Several people in the corridor immediately stood up to greet whoever came out.

Jiang Li walked out, removing her mask.

Her face was a bit pale.

Ji Yanbai stepped forward worriedly to support her.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Li shook her head, "I’m fine. It might be low blood sugar due to not having lunch."

"I’ll go get you some food; you wait here," Ji Yanbai said before walking away.

Lu’s mother hurriedly stepped forward, wringing her hands, "How is it?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly, "Aunt, it’s resolved. Your daughter should wake up soon."

As soon as her words fell, the alarm in the room went off.

Lu’s mother was startled and quickly rushed in, only to be amazed to find that her daughter had indeed woken up.

She was at a loss for a moment.

"Doctor, nurse, come quick! My daughter’s awake!"

For a patient who had been in a deep coma, verging on a vegetative state, to suddenly regain consciousness was a big deal for the hospital; in an instant, the area outside Lu Yafei’s sickroom was bustling with people.

Song Xue, excited, took a glance at her friend through the door, then swiftly grabbed Jiang Li’s hand.

"Master Jiang, thank you. You’re truly amazing! So Yafei is..."

Jiang Li’s expression was serious, "You guessed correctly. Lu Yafei was indeed under a curse, her fortune was taken from her. If you hadn’t noticed and come to find me, she might very well have lost her life because of it."
