"There was a mont when Tang Chuxia thought she must have heard wrong."
"No one knew better than she did about Gu Beihuai’s abilities."
"The fact that soone could give Gu Beihuai a headache was evidence of just how terrifying the real Tang Wanqiu must be."
"’Whether it’s Sun Qingyuan or the Cai Family, no one will pose a threat for the ti being. You should consider why your own sister harbors such hostility towards you,’ Gu Beihuai reminded Tang Chuxia, who replied without hesitation, ’Of course it’s because she gave all her abilities!’"
That year, it was Madam Tang’s decision to transfer Tang Wanqiu’s Divine Power to Tang Chuxia. Just for that alone, it wouldn’t be too much to say that Tang Wanqiu hated her to the bone.
But Gu Beihuai just shook his head.
"You’re oversimplifying things. You may have the Divine Power now, but it ca at the cost of life. She must know this, so that’s not the main reason for her animosity towards you!"
Gu Beihuai looked at Tang Chuxia: "Do you rember what Sun Qingyuan told you?"
Tang Chuxia raised an eyebrow, recalling Sun Qingyuan’s claim that he knew where she ca from!
She hadn’t paid much attention to it at the ti, but now it seed there really might be sothing to it.
Especially the implication behind those words.
Where did she co from?
If she just said she ca from the Tang Family, that would be nonsense, unless the other person knew about her other identity.
"You an?"
Tang Chuxia was sowhat skeptical, and Gu Beihuai sighed, "What have you been doing all this ti? You’re almost exposed, yet you don’t know when the enemy started to act!"
Fortunately, with Gu Beihuai around, there was no worry about problems arising.
Tang Chuxia said, "Alright, alright, I get your point!"
Whether it was Sun Qingyuan or Tang Wanqiu, or even the big boss hidden behind the scenes, Tang Chuxia believed that one day they would show their true faces.
Then she could settle the score.
"Now you need to tell sothing!"
"What?" Gu Beihuai asked, puzzled.
"What’s for dinner tonight?"
Tang Chuxia asked with pure innocence, which resulted in a kiss from Gu Beihuai!
He had expected Tang Chuxia to say sothing serious, but she ca out with this, leaving Gu Beihuai utterly frustrated. Who else was he supposed to kiss?
After both had cald down, Tang Chuxia seriously began to think about the Tang Wanqiu issue.
She needed to figure out the other side’s motives. If she kept being outplayed by others, that would be far too passive.
Just as Tang Chuxia was preparing to find the old Taoist for a divination, Lin Qingchen ca looking for her.
"What’s the matter? Have you been too busy lately? I hardly see you anymore!"
Tang Chuxia complained to Lin Qingchen, who behaved as transcendently detached as usual.
"It’s just been hot, so I’ve made a few extra trips to the mountains!"
He spoke casually, but Tang Chuxia rembered seeing him in the city before. Realizing it might be inconvenient for him to explain, she did not press further. Instead, she reminded him, "The weather has indeed been hot lately. Be careful not to get heatstroke!"
Lin Qingchen laughed, "That won’t happen!"
After chatting a bit more with him, Tang Chuxia then asked, "Do my divination for !"
Lin Qingchen raised an eyebrow at her, unable to understand Tang Chuxia’s motive, but then he heard her say quite seriously, "I’ve been feeling out of luck lately. Could you check if soone is cursing behind my back?"
Lin Qingchen: ...
It took him a while to remind Tang Chuxia, "The more you divinate your fate, the thinner it becos!"
Tang Chuxia was surprised: "Is that a saying?"
Lin Qingchen nodded, but Tang Chuxia, rubbing her chin, said seriously, "But I’ve seen plenty of fortune-tellers on the street corners. Aren’t they afraid their life will thin out with all their divinations?"
Lin Qingchen was at a loss for words.
If this weren’t Tang Chuxia in front of him, he might have just walked away.
Thankfully, he still showed good manners and only ground his teeth as he explained, "Those fortune-tellers on the streets, how many of them are real?"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Then she rembered, indeed, it was true.
None of them were easy to deal with.
"Then is there a way you can do it without thinning my life while still divining for ?" In terms of thick-skinned, Tang Chuxia considered herself quite the authority.
And Lin Qingchen actually obliged, saying straight away, "Then let’s not call it a fortune. Let’s divine with a hexagram instead!"
Tang Chuxia didn’t know the difference between the two, but seeing Lin Qingchen suggest it, she nodded.
"Then please divine a hexagram for and see if there’s any villain plotting against . Why am I always encountering such unlucky events?"
Dead people kept turning up one after another, and it felt like there were eyes constantly watching her.
Lin Qingchen looked around: "Let’s find a place to sit down and talk properly!"
Since they weren’t at ho, Tang Chuxia led Lin Qingchen to a pavilion, where various elders were sitting and enjoying the cool air. When they saw Lin Qingchen and Tang Chuxia, they were excited by the good-looking girl and handso boy.
They gathered around to chat with them, so that Tang Chuxia didn’t even have ti to ask Lin Qingchen to divine, but the elders were rely curious for a while. Seeing that Tang Chuxia and Lin Qingchen seed to have serious matters to discuss, they continued with their own conversations.
Lin Qingchen and Tang Chuxia moved a bit further away, and then she saw him take out a few Copper Coins.
"You need Copper Coins to divine? Aren’t you supposed to just use your fingers?" Tang Chuxia was truly curious.
She had thought that tossing coins was a scamr’s trick, never expecting that Lin Qingchen would use it too.
Lin Qingchen gave her a strange look, finally just sighing, "Can you stop jumping to conclusions?"
Tang Chuxia stuck out her tongue, feeling that Lin Qingchen was close to getting annoyed with her, and quickly sat up straight to indicate he should continue.
Lin Qingchen glanced at the three Copper Coins in his palm, then at Tang Chuxia, and put the coins away.
"Your fate is destined to have this tribulation. It all depends on how you break it!"
Tang Chuxia’s eyes widened as she stared at him, "You’re getting the hang of it. Is the next line that I need to pay you?"
Tang Chuxia was actually about to fish out money, but Lin Qingchen tapped her forehead, "Be serious!"
From the mont Lin Qingchen spoke, Tang Chuxia had no intention of believing him, even if she did trust his divination skills. But it was clear that Lin Qingchen wasn’t keen on sharing more with her.
The surrounding elders chid in with interest, "Does this young man know how to divine?"
Tang Chuxia quickly denied it, "How could he? We’re just playing around. Just look at him — he doesn’t look like he’s good at fortune-telling at all!"
Before Lin Qingchen could speak, the elders said, "This young man looks just like a Taoist!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
What exactly does a Taoist look like? She just couldn’t tell.
