The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 23 "Chance Encounter" with Second Brother?

Luo Fan went to work, leaving Xia Yu and Da Huang alone at home.

Before leaving, Luo Fan specifically reminded Xia Yu to keep the house clean and to cook and wait for him to get off work.

Since the company is close to home, Luo Fan also goes home for lunch to save money.

For Xia Yu, these things were just a matter of moving his fingers, and he finished them all within a few minutes.

As soon as she used her magic, the broom swept the floor by itself, the mop mopped the floor by itself, the dirty clothes flew into the washing machine by themselves, and all the messy things were put back in their proper places.

As soon as the lid of the rice cooker is opened, rice and water fly in obediently, washing the rice and changing the water, and starting to cook. Cabbage, ginger, and garlic all start to take a bath, potatoes start to peel themselves, fish shed their scales themselves, and when the kitchen knife is done cutting, they automatically put themselves into the pot.

While busy in the kitchen, Xia Yu filled Dahuang's dog bowl with dog food, then returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't understand why the boss suddenly changed his mind.

Wait, do the Clairvoyants and the Ears know anything about this matter?

Thinking of this, Xia Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa, curled his hands into a "small trumpet" shape, looked up and shouted softly towards the ceiling.

"Clairvoyance~"

"Clairvoyance~, can you see me?"

"Brother Xiao Qian? Hello?"

"Thousands..."

At this time, in the heaven, Qianliyan was sitting on the ground, leaning against a white pillar with his eyes closed and dozing off. He couldn't see, but the sound of Xia Yu kept coming to Shunfenger's ears.

It's noisy!
His ears were already filled with all kinds of human sounds, and now, the call of summer rain disturbed his ears.

"Hey~!" Shunfenger held his magic weapon in one hand and covered one of his ears with the other hand. He gently kicked Qianliyan's leg with his foot and said, "Wake up! Qianliyan, someone is calling you."

The Clairvoyant finally took a break and was sleeping soundly. He replied in a daze, "Who is it? I didn't see you..."

“You…” Shunfenger heard it and kicked him again, angrily saying, “You closed your eyes, of course you can’t see!”

Qianliyan was still half asleep and half awake, and even felt a little annoyed that the Fengerer disturbed his sweet dream. He murmured, "Then I didn't hear it either..."

Oh my goodness, this really pissed off Shunfenger! Once again... he kicked Qianliyan hard, waking him up!
"It's right that you can't hear. I'm the one who can hear! If you can hear, why would you let me stay here?" As he said this, he pulled Qianliyan up and said anxiously, "Hurry up and take a look. Reply to her quickly. She's making me so noisy!"

"Who is calling me? You are blatantly disturbing my sleep... No, you are blatantly disturbing my official duties..."

"You'll know after you take a look. My voice sounds familiar. It's like the fairy who came to earth last time."

"That little disciple under Yue Lao? It's her again!"

Clairvoyance stood up reluctantly, opened his eyes and looked towards the human world, muttering: "Xia Yu... Where is Xia Yu?"

"From the sound, she is still in Neon City." Shunfenger listened carefully again and said to Qianliyan, "She wants to ask you if you know if anyone went to Luo Fan's house yesterday. She also said that she wants you to help see if Bai Jin has met with anyone suspicious recently."

"Yesterday? Wasn't yesterday on earth the same as the previous second in heaven? I just fell asleep, how would I know?" Clairvoyant said as he helped Xia Yu check on that Bai Jin. He hadn't met any suspicious people recently.

But... "I seem to have seen it..." Qianliyan suddenly turned his head to look at Shunfenger and said with some surprise: "...Yue Lao's second disciple - Li Jian."

……

In the mortal world, Xia Yu had just heard the clairvoyant say that he had seen Li Jian when her second senior brother suddenly came to see her.

Without knocking or ringing the doorbell, Li Jian went straight into Luo Fan's house and appeared next to Xia Yu.

"Second Brother?" Xia Yu was delighted when she saw Li Jian. Finally, there was someone to help her!
"Junior sister." Li Jian was also excited and hugged Xia Yu with one hand, saying, "Why did you come down to earth? I saw you quickly on the street that day and I thought I saw you wrongly. I didn't expect that when I saw you today, it was really you! It's been several months since I went back to heaven. How is Master?"

"Master is very good." Xia Yu looked at Li Jian with a sad face, "I am the one who is not good."

"What's wrong with you? What happened? Tell your second brother." Li Jian looked at Xia Yu with concern and said softly, "Maybe I can help you!"

"Oh! Don't mention it. I came down to the mortal world secretly." Xia Yu said, pulling Li Jian to sit on the sofa, and slowly said: "When the wind was blowing, the wind lady accidentally messed up the marriage lines on the marriage tree, and the marriages of several pairs of people were affected. It happened that Master got drunk at Laojun's place, so I stole one of Master's whisks as a token, and wanted to come down to the mortal world to save the marriages of those pairs of people before Master sobered up."

"The marriage line is messed up..." After hearing this, Li Jian really began to ponder.

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the more she felt that she was too miserable. She looked at Li Jian pitifully and said, "If I can't get their marriage back in place before Master sobers up, I'll be miserable. By then, Master will come down to earth in person to solve the problem, and I won't have a chance to do anything. Maybe, he will even banish me to the mortal world for the crime of 'failure to take good care of them'..."

"Master has come down to earth in person..." Li Jian recalled Xia Yu's words in his mind and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Second Brother, Second Brother?" Xia Yu reached out and pulled Li Jian's hand, begging, "Please help me! I don't want to be banished to the mortal world..."

"Ah?" Li Jian came back to his senses instantly after being called by Xia Yu, and smiled again: "Don't worry, Second Senior Brother will definitely help you."

"Second Brother...you are so nice!" Xia Yu was very moved and gave Li Jian a big hug.

Li Jian also patted Xia Yu's head lovingly, as if coaxing a child, and said with a smile: "Alright, alright. The most urgent thing is to solve your problem. Tell me quickly, what clues do you have at the moment? Tell me, and I will help you analyze it."

"it is good!"

At this time, Xia Yu was confused about something, which was the issue of the "red line".

"Second Brother, I found a suspicious person - Bai Jin." Xia Yu recalled and asked Li Jian in confusion: "He tied his own red string to someone else's hand. Why is it that he doesn't like that person, but that person likes him?"

There was something unclear in Li Jian's eyes when he looked at Xia Yu. He thought for a moment and replied, "What he is holding should be the 'Universal Marriage Thread'."

"The universal thread of marriage?" Xia Yu looked at Li Jian in shock, thinking: Why haven't I heard my master mention this thing called the 'universal thread of marriage'?

"Master's marriage lines are divided into two types: one is the 'customized marriage line', which locks two destined people as its owners. The red line is only valid for its two owners. The other is the 'universal marriage line'. It binds two people at random, and they will fall deeply in love with each other. No matter if they were friends, enemies or strangers, as long as the 'universal marriage line' is pulled, they will quickly fall in love with each other."

"Then... according to Second Senior Brother..." Xia Yu thought about Bai Jin and Qu Si Ning's situation and asked, "Once this 'universal marriage thread' is withdrawn, will they forget each other?"

"Yes and no." Li Jian said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Xia Yu asked.

"If two people used to dislike each other, once the 'universal marriage line' is removed, they will forget what happened." Li Jian said to Xia Yu with a mysterious look on his face. After a pause, he continued: "However, if one of the two people used to deeply like the other, then even if the 'universal marriage line' is removed, the one who secretly likes the other will still remember what happened."
