Xize nodded: "Okay, I’ll go take a look, save a seat."
He loosened his tie and asked, "By the way, will there be any female attendees?"
"Yes." Ian was taken aback, "The quarterly report is before the party, and there’s even an opening dance, of course there will be won. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I see." Xize nodded contentedly, "I’ve decided to try and find a girlfriend."
Ian: "???"
**
When Ian left Lorentz Castle, his mind was still in a daze.
He dazed for quite a while before picking up his phone to call Fu Yunshen: "Bro, do you know who my sister-in-law introduced to?!"
"Hmm? Xize Laurent?"
"Bro, you knew? No wonder you weren’t nervous, turns out you had such a trump card."
"No." Fu Yunshen chuckled lowly, "I had a corresponding plan and could solve it, but with Yaoyao’s help, things indeed beco much easier."
Ian blissfully followed Ying Zijin back to Country J.
Turns out, having soone to back you up feels great.
Before getting off the plane, Ian’s eyes were misty with tears, "Sister-in-law, I’ll definitely cling to your thigh, please carry along."
Ying Zijin remained expressionless: "Please, just go away."
Ian: "..."
He swiftly made his exit.
Fu Yunshen ca to pick her up, and the two went back to the hotel together.
He started, "I need to go out for a bit, be back around dinner."
Ying Zijin lay on the bed, lazily waved her hand: "Go ahead, I’ll rest for a while."
Fu Yunshen ruffled the girl’s hair and walked out.
Ying Zijin turned over, opened her laptop, and logged onto the NOK forum.
Before she could check her friend list, a chat box had already popped up.
[10]: Divine Calculator of the World, you’re finally online again, quick, quick, when will you help with a fortune telling session?
Ying Zijin’s expression remained calm as she typed a line.
[Diviner]: I know where you’re from.
[10]: Where am I from, I’m just an Earthling, aren’t I?
[10]: You think I’m like you, coming from another universe to Earth just to have fun?
[Diviner]: Four words, can’t send ssage, you know this, Lord Hermit.
[10]: ....
Shortly after, a call box appeared.
Four red words with an exclamation point appeared above it.
[Urgent Call!]
Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly. She activated a code program.
Then she used Inner Strength to seal the hotel room before pressing the accept button.
"Hello?"
A very young male voice spoke up.
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered: "Yes, here."
"Ah, sorry, this is an Earth secret, many on Earth can’t know it." The man laughed and sighed, "Rember when we first t, you said you weren’t from Earth and just ca from elsewhere to play around."
"So, I never thought to tell you. Have you had a change of mind and decided to co in person to read my fortune?"
"No." Ying Zijin was concise, "I just have sothing that needs your place."
"I see." The man seed thoughtful, "Then contact when you co. I’ll et you. Is this your real voice?"
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "Yes, not altered."
Back in the Sixteenth Century, when we knew each other, she always wore a black robe, completely hidden.
Forget about distinguishing male or female, old or young was impossible to tell.
"Well, it doesn’t matter, gender isn’t important." The man laughed indifferently, "In my eyes, there is no distinction between boys and girls. I always thought you were an old man."
He paused: "Since that’s the case, let formally introduce myself. I am Sage Hermit, you can call by my real na, Xiu."
One of the Twenty-Two Sages, Sage Hermit, The Hermit.
Xiu·Kenselder.
Xiu coughed a few tis: "I was planning to agree once you consented and then co to find you outside the city. Now that you’re coming in, it saves the trouble."
"I wasn’t planning on seeing you anyway."
"...."
Xiu was sowhat helpless: "You’re just as heartless as before."
Ying Zijin was indifferent: "We are the sa."
"By the way, there’s an important matter." Xiu’s voice grew more serious: "After you arrive, unless I’m present, you absolutely cannot use your fortune-telling abilities."
Ying Zijin’s gaze instantly sharpened.
"You should be aware, other Sages are looking for you. If you use your fortune-telling abilities, they can find you imdiately." Xiu paused, "Only I can help you conceal it."
