Chapter 135: Performance?
Almost at twelve, the six of them tidied up their attire and ensured there were no issues with their make-up and style before heading together to the Banquet Hall.
"Give me your brooch," Xia Xi said quietly to Xia Yue as they walked at the rear.
"What’s up?" Xia Yue blinked in confusion.
"Some people at the banquet aren’t very nice. They brought some unclean things with them. I’ll cast a charm on your brooch so that those dirty things won’t pollute you," Xia Xi said softly, only Xia Yue would believe these kinds of things. The others wouldn’t, especially that woman Xia Qing. If they heard this, they would think she was up to something and make a fuss, which was too bothersome to explain.
"Oh, alright." Xia Yue nodded and unfastened her brooch to give it to her.
Xia Xi began quietly muttering while holding the brooch in one hand and using the index and middle finger of the other to draw something over it. Then a beam of light entered the brooch.
"There, wear it now. Those dirty things won’t get close to you. The beings that came with them are not particularly malicious and won’t attack people proactively, but if they come in contact, they will stick some bad luck on you. This kind of bad luck might affect your short-term fortune or such." Xia Xi returned the brooch to Xia Yue and gave her a simple explanation.
"Oh, okay." Xia Yue nodded and put the brooch back on.
