Chapter 57: Bai Qianzhou: The Problem is Huge
Bai Qianzhou looked at her restored hair and widened her clear, watery eyes. "Wow, you guys are incredible! The last time I was struck by lightning, it took a whole half a year for my hair to recover."
Bai Qianzhou's praise was completely sincere, but their inner thoughts were utterly terrified.
Struck by lightning?
What kind of heaven-defying, outrageous thing did she do to get struck by lightning? And what's more, not just once?
Is this something they are even allowed to know?
"The ends of your hair were already scorched, so we had no choice but to trim it a bit shorter," the stylist said apologetically, looking at Bai Qianzhou.
"It's fine, it's fine, it's already wonderful like this. Thank you." Si Nansheng looked at her slightly shortened hair and expressed her gratitude earnestly.
She remembered once, after being struck by lightning, her hair was so severely damaged that recovery was impossible, and her senior brother had simply shaved her head bald.
Fortunately, she was still young back then and had a strong capacity to accept things; otherwise, she definitely would have cried her eyes out!
With Bai Qianzhou's hair finally sorted out, the stylists took their leave.
Seeing Bai Qianzhou's hair return almost entirely to its original state, Pei Yanlin and the others finally let out a sigh of relief.
There was no helping it; seeing Bai Qianzhou walking around looking like instant noodles was truly a bit too comical.
Outside, the sky gradually grew dim as the veil of night slowly descended. Pei Hexun hurried back, his brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Bai Qianzhou with a hint of hesitation in his gaze.
"You need my help with something." It wasn't a question, but a statement of certainty from Bai Qianzhou.
"I almost forgot, Zhouzhou can read fortunes and calculate everything; naturally, you'd know what's on my mind." Pei Hexun was startled at first, but upon seeing Bai Qianzhou's bright, clear, black-and-white eyes, a sense of relief washed over him.
"Did something happen?" Bai Lu looked over at Pei Hexun.
"The grandson of a friend of my father's suddenly and inexplicably collapsed five days ago. The doctors at the hospital ran numerous tests and found nothing wrong with him; he's just as if he's fast asleep.
Earlier, when they ran into my family and saw me arranging for people to bury those skeletal remains, they wanted to give it a try and asked me to contact the master to see if she could go take a look at their child."
With that, Pei Hexun looked back at Bai Qianzhou. "Little Master, would you be able to go take a look?"
"It's not entirely out of the question. Have them send me a photo first so I can take a look.
If it's a metaphysical issue, I can handle it. If not, then I'm afraid I'll be powerless to help."
"Alright, I'll have them send the photo right away." Pei Hexun said as he went off to make a phone call.
A moment later, he brought his phone over to show Bai Qianzhou. In the photo, a pale, exceptionally emaciated young man lay on a bed, his expression unusually serene.
"Good grief! The problem is huge!" Bai Qianzhou blurted out, the outer corners of her eyebrows twitching involuntarily.
Bai Qianzhou thought to herself: This grievance is so dense it's practically about to swallow him whole!
"What is it? Is the problem very serious?" Pei Hexun looked at Bai Qianzhou with concern.
"He only has two days left. Two days from now, even immortals couldn't save him." Bai Qianzhou handed the phone back to Pei Hexun.
"This... is it really that serious? Zhouzhou, can you save him?" Pei Hexun frowned as he looked at Bai Qianzhou.
Although the relations between their two families were quite good, if it meant risking Bai Qianzhou's reputation, Pei Hexun would have to think twice.
"I can save him, but as for the price..." Bai Qianzhou stroked her chin.
Not only did she have to save the person, but she also had to retrieve his wandering soul. This was no easy task, so the price would naturally have to be higher.
"Rest assured, I will definitely not let you lose out. Oh, right, this is for you." Pei Hexun took out a bank card and handed it to Bai Qianzhou, startling her so much that she instantly leaped backward a few meters.
