Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Attracting Scum Talisman Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Attracting Scum Talisman Alicia Sharp wasn’t someone who liked to be confused. After returning, she directly had someone check the time and themes of nearby art exhibition competitions because Sea University had an art department, and there were many such competitions, each with different themes. Once she found out, she realized that guy had deliberately set a trap. The competition theme had nothing to do with hands. But if she agreed to be a hand model, it would inevitably involve some physical contact, like applying plaster face to face. For a young girl like her, in such a specific situation, it would be easy to fall in love. Alicia Sharp sneered, remembering Scarlett Jennings’s reminder to watch out for schemers, so she also had someone look into the man’s identity and recent contacts. Soon, she reached a conclusion. It was indeed a schemer’s trap. Her stepsister was the schemer. ... After seeing Aunt Henry off, Alicia Sharp looked at Scarlett Jennings in front of her, showing no signs of nervousness or panic, simply recounting the morning’s events, then staring at her intently, “You said before I could come to you.” Scarlett Jennings didn’t speak but reached into her bag and pulled out a Yellow Talisman, “This is an Anti-backstabbing Talisman, if someone tries to scheme against you next time, this Talisman will rebound onto them.” Alicia Sharp heard this but didn’t immediately take it. “Next time? What about this time?” “Weren’t you not tricked?” Alicia Sharp squinted her eyes, “I wasn’t tricked, but I don’t like being schemed against.” As she spoke, she squeezed next to Scarlett, sitting very familiarly close to her, “Besides the Anti-backstabbing Talisman, do you have a Talisman to attract scum?” Scarlett Jennings understood her meaning as soon as she heard it. This was about tit for tat. However, she liked this personality. Thinking for a moment, Scarlett simply took out a clean yellow paper from her bag and a small Vermillion pen, which she casually dipped. Kneeling on the carpet, her posture upright. Then she started to write, her brush moving swiftly to complete a Talisman in one go. It was the first time Alicia Sharp had seen someone drawing Talismans, she felt that when Scarlett raised the pen, her entire aura changed, giving an otherworldly impression. When she visited earlier, she was still somewhat skeptical, but at that moment, she completely believed that this eldest daughter of the Jennings Family truly had abilities. Taking the Talisman Paper, Alicia Sharp felt a bit emotional, “I was just asking casually, I didn’t expect your Mystical Sect really has such Talismans.” “There aren’t.” Scarlett replied truthfully, seeing Alicia’s somewhat astonished expression, she just smiled and explained, “The Mystical Sect doesn’t have a specific Attracting Scum Talisman, but it has an Attracting Love Talisman.” Scarlett pointed to the last stroke on the Talisman Paper in her hand, “This stroke is extra, any extra love becomes scum love in relationships.” So calling it an Attracting Scum Talisman wasn’t inaccurate. In the Talismanic Magic field, many runes evolved from the inherited talismans, often reaching the same end by different means. Like now, many people online ask for Slimming Talismans, Koi Fortune Talismans, Study Talismans, which she could also create. For example, the Slimming Talisman is a Clear Heart Talisman, reducing worldly desires, including eating. The Koi Fortune Talisman can be a Gathering Fortune Talisman, but gathering fortune speeds up a person’s natural fortune instead of creating it out of thin air, so Scarlett usually didn’t draw such Talismans for others. As for the Study Talisman, it was a combination of the Clear Heart Talisman and the Concentration Talisman, ensuring calm and concentration, making studying much more effective. Alicia Sharp nodded in understanding, “I didn’t expect it could work that way.” Happily accepting it, along with the Anti-backstabbing Talisman from earlier, she was preparing to thank Scarlett when suddenly a payment QR code was presented to her. Scarlett Jennings, ever so businesslike, “Anti-backstabbing Talisman is three thousand, Love Talisman is five thousand, totaling eight thousand.” Alicia Sharp didn’t find this expensive, she straightforwardly scanned the code with her phone. After Scarlett collected the payment, she quickly double-tapped on Alicia’s phone screen, opening her QR code and scanning it, adding her as a friend smoothly. “From now on we’re sisters, add a friend for easy contact.” Seeing Scarlett had more to say, Alicia quickly added, “Can also transfer money remotely.” Scarlett suddenly fell silent, smiling as she accepted the friend request. Immediately after, a message bubble popped up with a transfer. It was from Lucas Jennings. [Lucas Jennings has sent you a transfer of $3000, please accept.] Before Scarlett could react, she heard a voice from above, at the second-floor stairway, a boy excitedly waving his phone at her, “Sis! I also want that Anti-backstabbing Talisman! Save one for me!” Scarlett: ... Alicia: ... “Lucas, who told you to eavesdrop on us from upstairs? Get down here now!” Alicia and Lucas clearly weren’t new acquaintances; she already had her hands on her hips, calling up to him. Lucas, as usual, retorted easily, “You think I’ll come down just because you told me to? Why should I listen to you?” Scarlett looked up, “Come down, take the Talisman.” Lucas’s expression changed in a second, “Okay, sis!” The change was so fast, Alicia couldn’t help but click her tongue. She silently turned to look at Scarlett, clearly curious about how she managed to subdue the famously brash Lucas from the Jennings Family in such a short time. It was known that at the banquet the other day, Lucas wasn’t necessarily acting against her but wasn’t exactly friendly either. “How did you do it?” Scarlett knew she was talking about Lucas and didn’t hide it, “He had a fight with Azura Loomis.” Although Lucas acted like he wanted to cut ties with Azura, Scarlett didn’t believe he could easily escape Azura’s control. Hearing Azura’s name brought a subtle change to Alicia’s expression, “Speaking of Azura Loomis, there’s an interesting story you may have not known.” Scarlett glanced at her. Alicia curled her lips slightly, implying a smirk, “Azura Loomis’s name originally had the character for morning light, but before coming to the Jennings Family,” “she changed it to a character meaning stream in water, after hearing that this Jennings generation was named after water elements.” Scarlett raised an eyebrow. Hearing Alicia emphasize, [before coming to the Jennings Family] It seemed she was eager to become part of the Jennings Family. “You knew each other before?” Alicia pouted, “We accidentally ended up in the same class in elementary school.” Scarlett asked no more because Lucas was already energetically pushing open the side-hall door. “Sis! I’m here!” Lucas said as he happily squeezed next to Scarlett. Alicia looked at Lucas’s unabashed manner with an air of disdain, “Lucas, do you have any manners at all? Instead of butting in on mine and Scarlett’s conversation, how dare you eavesdrop from upstairs?” Lucas didn’t back down an inch against Alicia, “This is my home; how could it be eavesdropping when I’m just in my own house? Clearly you were talking too loudly! Besides, it’s not like I care about your stepsister’s petty affairs!” “Lucas, I think you need some handling!” Alicia laughed artificially, while Lucas felt a shiver up his neck; he still stubbornly straightened it, “You wouldn’t dare; do you believe my sis could handle you with just a wave of her hand?” Scarlett, unexpectedly mentioned, met Alicia’s gaze, only leisurely rotated her wrist, muttering softly, “Drawing too many Talismans makes my wrist hurt.” Implicitly meaning, she could not raise it.
