The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 83 Discussing Strategies
How powerful must a character be if he is unable to find something that even the Clairvoyance and the Super Ear cannot?
"Little junior sister."

Hua Changyi thought of many strategies and was ready to listen to Xia Yu's opinion. He said, "At present, my guess is that the three children took away my red thread to play a prank. I hope other senior brothers or junior brothers can take out their red threads and lead the three children out again. What do you think..."

"Brother Seventeen, I think that if those three kids were just playing a prank, they wouldn't necessarily be eyeing the 'red string'. More importantly, only you and I know about this, and Master asked us to keep it a secret. Besides, all of you brothers have to complete your performance this year and help people find their destined marriages. No one wants to fall behind in the performance ranking at the end of the year, so naturally, no one will take risks with their red string."

Hua Changyi sat upright, not detecting any valid information in Xia Yu's answer, and replied: "We have to give it a try to see if the three kids will be fooled. We don't have to tell them about this, we just need to borrow their 'red line'. As for the 'risk' you mentioned, as long as we are with a few brothers, we will have a great chance of defeating the mysterious man who secretly attacked and successfully capturing the three kids."

In fact, ever since Hua Changyi received the message from Yue Lao, he has been waiting for Xia Yu's arrival at home.

Hua Changyi thought about this plan for a long time. In the previous year, he also tried many other methods, placing many toys and facilities that children like in his home, turning it into a small "playground".

Hua Changyi tried all kinds of methods, such as "delicious food" and "toys", but to no avail.

He didn't even see the shadow of the three children again.

They are not ordinary children, so perhaps what they are interested in is "pranks", and they find pleasure in snatching the "red thread" of the gods and interfering with other people's "official business".

"Then, let's follow Senior Brother Seventeen's advice. Let's try to use the 'red line' to lure them out first." Xia Yu agreed.

Xia Yu didn't know whether this method would work or not.

But because of this delay, Hua Changyi's performance will be affected anyway.

"Brother Seventeen." Xia Yu asked worriedly, "Let's not talk about what will happen if the 'red string' is not retrieved. What about those people who are waiting for you to pull the red string?"

A rare look of difficulty appeared on Hua Changyi's handsome face. This problem was also what he was most worried about at the moment.

The red threads of the [Marriage Palace] were divided into ninety-eight batches and taken down to the mortal world, and only a portion of the spare red threads remained in the palace.

Yue Lao only makes a batch of "marriage lines" every six years (in heaven), and now is only the second year...

It is obviously unrealistic to go back and get a new batch.

You know, the red line in each of their hands represents hundreds of years of work in the mortal world.

"Junior sister, I understand." When Hua Changyi was at a loss, he suddenly saw the marriage bracelet on Xia Yu's hand, which reminded him of the marriage ring on his hand.

All disciples under Yue Lao possess a magical instrument that can sense the marriages of mortals.

The male disciples all wear "marriage rings" on their hands, and the female disciples wear "marriage bracelets" on their wrists. When two people with a predestined relationship approach them, the magic tools in their hands will emit red light.

Everyone has his or her own red thread on the marriage tree. Once the destiny comes, two destined people in the mortal world will be together, and the red threads of the two people on the marriage tree will be tied together firmly.

Hua Changyi and his colleagues' job is to tie the red thread between two people who are destined to be together. Once the red thread is tied, their fate begins.

"Know what?" Xia Yu asked.

Hua Changyi gently took Xia Yu's right hand wearing the marriage bracelet and said with a smile: "There is a very handsome young man in the mortal world who said this. 'In addition to the most advanced technology, we also have the most primitive means.' This sentence is also applicable to us. Without the 'red line', we can only rely on our own intelligence to help them."

"This method is not impossible..." Xia Yu looked down at the marriage bracelet on her wrist and said slowly: "But the effect is definitely not as good as the 'Red Thread'."

Hua Changyi raised his hand and cast a spell on Xia Yu's marriage bracelet. A cluster of red light flashed into the marriage bracelet. He said with satisfaction: "Now, if the destined people you help are successfully together, the achievement will also be counted in my name."

"That's no problem. I'll do it as long as it helps you, Senior Brother Seventeen." Xia Yu replied. Two people who didn't know each other came up. They were a destined couple. You could bring them together, but whether it would work or not was not certain.

The role of the 'red thread' is to make them like each other, discover each other's strengths, and then begin their fate.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!" Hua Changyi said with a wry smile. Didn't he also want to get the red line back as soon as possible?

"Xia Zi!"

Qu Si Ning finally finished taking pictures and returned to the house with Zijing.

As soon as she entered the house, Qu Si Ning saw a table full of delicious food, all of which were prepared by Xia Yu and Hua Changyi using magic.

At lunch time, as soon as the hungry Qu Si Ning saw the food, her stomach started to growl unkindly.

"Are you tired from filming? Let's eat." Hua Changyi greeted Qu Si Ning warmly.

"Thank you." Qu Si Ning responded politely, sat next to Xia Yu, took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Hua Changyi, and started eating.

"Is there something that brings you here to see this handsome guy today?" Qu Si Ning asked Xia Yu while eating.

Xia Yu and Hua Changyi looked at each other and smiled, "No, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time since graduation. I knew he was here, so I came here to see him and taste his cooking."

"You obviously miss me, haha!" Hua Changyi said with a smile.

"Hey...which university did you graduate from? Why haven't I ever heard you mention it?" Qu Si Ning asked Xia Yu.

I haven’t graduated yet! Xia Yu thought.

"Xiao Ning'er...you and Zijing spent so much time taking photos outside. Were they all photos of flowers?"

After hearing this, Qu Si Ning was even more confused and asked, "What's wrong? Who doesn't want to talk about their university? Besides, your grandfather is a university professor, so you should be doing well in college."

Could it be that there are some bad memories from college?
Or...the ex is from that university?

Or maybe... you don't have a good relationship with professor grandpa?

After Xia Yu’s last lying experience, she felt very guilty every time she lied. She really didn’t know how to make up a story about “university”.

If she just mentioned a university and Qu Si Ning really went to inquire about it, and found out that there was no such university, no such professor, and no such students, it would be even more difficult for her to explain.

"Tianyi University." Hua Changyi said these four words calmly.

"Oh! Are you studying medicine?" Qu Si Ning asked again.

Qu Si Ning had never heard of this university. She looked at Hua Changyi with curiosity, waiting for him to continue the introduction.

Xia Yu's eyes were full of worry, but Hua Changyi responded calmly with a smile: "This university is located in Lingxi Road, South Street, Huanyue City. It is a very 'Buddhist' university and not very famous. If you are interested, you can go and see it in person when you have time."
