"This jade talisman?"

Ruan Mengmeng falls into deep thought, and soon, she remembers.

"That day while I was handing out flyers, I met someone asking for directions. He asked me how to get to Jiajia Building, I told him the specific route, and he told me I was about to face a calamity, so he gave me this jade talisman."

"At that time, I was also curious why his talisman wasn't drawn on paper like Sister Xiaoling's, but carved from jade."

Upon hearing Ruan Mengmeng's words, Ma Xiaoling complains endlessly in her heart.

Of course, she also knows that talismans carved from jade are more extraordinary.

Because jade is the essence of heaven and earth and can carry more magic power, but carving talismans from jade is, firstly, time-consuming, and secondly, expensive.

Comparatively, talismans written with cinnabar on paper are much cheaper.

Even, in necessary moments, they can be printed on-site with a special printer and manufactured in batches.

After complaining in her heart, Ma Xiaoling asks Ruan Mengmeng again: "In other words, you don't know the person who gave you the jade talisman?"

Ruan Mengmeng gives an answer that surprises Ma Xiaoling. "That's not the case."

"Oh?" Ma Xiaoling is somewhat surprised.

Ruan Mengmeng says: "In fact, the other party has already moved into Jiajia Building. After seeing him in the building, I recognized him, but because I needed to rush to the TV station that day, I didn't greet him."

"The other party is also a tenant in the building?"

Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen look at each other.

They didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Kuang Tianyou thinks of someone.

According to Ma Xiaoling, this jade talisman is unusual and contains extremely powerful magic power; if it weren't for this jade talisman, Ruan Mengmeng would have been harmed.

And Ruan Mengmeng's words reveal another piece of information, that the person only moved to Jiajia Building recently.

Only one person has moved to Jiajia Building recently.

Combined with the unusualness that person revealed when meeting him, the answer is already very clear.

However, even if Kuang Tianyou guesses the truth, he doesn't speak rashly.

Ruan Mengmeng soon says the other party's name. "It's the tenant on the twelfth floor; the name seems to be Su Xuan!"

"Is it that person?"

Hearing Ruan Mengmeng's words, Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen both remember who it is.

After all, some time ago, Su Xuan moved to Jiajia Building and sent gifts to all the tenants to apologize for occupying the elevator for a long time, which was truly memorable.

That also indirectly revealed the fact that Su Xuan is a rich man.

Ma Xiaoling really wants to have contact with Su Xuan.

Because the friends of rich people are mostly rich people; if Su Xuan is willing to take care of her business and introduce her to a few employers, she can go and buy the bag she has been eyeing.

But because there have been many things recently, she has never been able to find an opportunity to have contact with Su Xuan.

She didn't expect that Ruan Mengmeng's jade talisman was given by Su Xuan.

This confirms one thing for Ma Xiaoling: Su Xuan is not an ordinary person.

After comforting Ruan Mengmeng again, she returns the jade talisman, which only has a wisp of magic power left, to Ruan Mengmeng.

After leaving Ruan Mengmeng's residence, Wang Zhenzhen immediately asks Ma Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, are you planning to go and see that person on the twelfth floor?"

"How did you know?"

Ma Xiaoling looks at Wang Zhenzhen with some surprise.

Wang Zhenzhen says confidently: "I'm not that stupid. Since Mengmeng's jade talisman was given by him, and that jade talisman saved Mengmeng's life, you must want to go and see the person who gave the jade talisman."

Ma Xiaoling no longer hides it. "I am indeed planning to go and see that person."

As she speaks, she turns her head and looks at Kuang Tianyou beside her. "Dead cop, you come with us."

She doesn't give Kuang Tianyou a chance to refuse at all.

Kuang Tianyou actually doesn't want to go to the twelfth floor to see that person; after all, that person pointed out his identity as a zombie that day.

But since Ma Xiaoling has said so, Kuang Tianyou naturally cannot show weakness.

Soon, the three of them go together and arrive at the twelfth floor.

After ringing the doorbell, a figure that looks excessively young appears before the three of them.

Among them, Wang Zhenzhen and Ma Xiaoling are seeing Su Xuan for the first time; earlier, the one who sent gifts and apologized to them was just one of Su Xuan's subordinates.

At this moment, seeing Su Xuan's appearance, they are somewhat surprised.

Su Xuan, however, is the first to greet Kuang Tianyou, "Tianyou, long time no see. You bringing two beauties to my place, don't tell me you're planning to introduce a girlfriend to me?"

As he speaks, he looks over Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen with a playful gaze.

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Wang Zhenzhen looks at her boyfriend with some surprise. "Tianyou, do you know him?"

What should Kuang Tianyou say? He can't say they had met once before.

Su Xuan knows he is a zombie and even knows his true identity; at this moment, he can only follow Su Xuan's words to deceive Wang Zhenzhen and Ma Xiaoling; otherwise, no one can be sure if Su Xuan will fight to the death and reveal that he is actually Kuang Guohua and a zombie.

Kuang Tianyou nods. "Yeah, an old friend, haven't seen him in a long time."

"I see!"

Wang Zhenzhen doesn't doubt it.

Ma Xiaoling thinks of other things. "No wonder when Mengmeng mentioned him earlier, your expression changed."

She was the one who noticed Kuang Tianyou's expression change, which is why she let Kuang Tianyou follow them to the twelfth floor.

Kuang Tianyou didn't expect that by mistake, he actually made Ma Xiaoling believe these words.

He introduces the two women beside him to Su Xuan. "This is Wang Zhenzhen, my girlfriend, and this is Ma Xiaoling, a famous exorcist Celestial Master."
