Xu Zhengran just stared at Yan Ci, calculating with his hands non-stop, his fingers almost breaking, but he still couldn't figure out anything.

Why can't it work?

Seeing Xu Zhengran obsessed with his divination, Yan Ci's heart gradually calmed down. She thought this guy was also a reincarnated person, but it turned out he was really a charlatan, and a not-so-charismatic one at that.

But what he just said is indeed not something that people of this world should know.

If what he said about the Yongding Marquis' Mansion was really predicted by his divination, then he does have some real skills.

Could she take this opportunity to test him?

Yan Ci's tone softened slightly, and he said, "My name is Yan Ci, so can you calculate what my future holds?"

Xu Zhengran was stunned. At the moment Yan Ci spoke, his thumb suddenly pinched the second joint of his ring finger and did not move. A look of surprise appeared in his blank eyes.

"You said your last name is Yan?"

Yan Ci nodded, "That's right, my father's surname is Yan, so naturally my surname is Yan."

Qiu Fuqiu also echoed, "Yes, her real surname is Yan, even her stepfather's surname is Yan."

Xu Zhengran didn't care whether it was his biological father or his stepfather. He slowly raised his head and looked at Yan Ci, saying something he couldn't believe, "If your last name is really Yan, then with your name, you should be a dead person."

Yan Ci's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, as if a hand had suddenly grabbed her heart, and the dull thumping sound seemed to spread from her chest to her brain.

It only took her a moment to understand the meaning of Xu Zhengran's words.

The divination Xu Zhengran made was for the real Yan Ci, not her.

Yan Ci did not show her inner shock. She calmed herself down, kept her face calm, and smiled softly, "But I am alive and well now."

This is also where Xu Zhengran’s doubts lie. Although the words came from his mouth, his mind was also full of questions.

The girl in front of me was so lively, with bright eyes, white teeth and a lively look. She didn't look like she was dying at all.

Although he likes to make plans and predict the future, he does not believe in ghosts and gods in this world.

What's more, it's broad daylight now, how could such a ghost have such omnipotent abilities?

Excluding the completely impossible situation, the only possibility is that there is something wrong with your hexagram.

Qiu Fuqiu was not as calm as Yan Ci. After hearing this, she slapped Xu Zhengran on the back without saying a word and said angrily, "You stinky champion, who are you going to kill with your nonsense curse? If you keep talking nonsense, I will not be polite to you!"

After saying that, he glared at Xu Zhengran fiercely, then pulled Yan Ci away. Only Xu Zhengran was left standing there, looking at the two figures leaving with a frown in deep thought.

Qiu Fuqiu was still very angry after walking away. "I knew that this top scholar from a bandit's den was unreliable. He was only good at destroying other people's nests."

"He also told me that His Majesty wanted to grant me and Xie Chengyi a marriage. Bah, men's mouths are deceitful. I shouldn't have believed him. He made me so embarrassed."

She was talking so excitedly that she didn't notice that Yan Ci had become distracted.

After talking to herself for a long time, she didn't get a response. She turned around and found that Yan Ci, who was supposed to be walking beside her, was left behind. All the words she said were in vain.

She ran back and took Yan Ci's arm, and struggled with her as if to warn her, and said with concern: "Ah Ci, what's wrong with you? You weren't bewitched by his nonsense, were you? Ah Ci, don't believe him, he just makes up nonsense."

Yan Ci came back to his senses, suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed: "No, I just came out too early today and I'm a little tired. Let's go back and rest early."

Qiu Fuqiu nodded in response, and together with Yan Ci, they left the Mountain Resort and walked along the mountain road.

Qiu Fuqiu has a simple mind, but she treats her friends sincerely, and her concerned eyes are always on Yan Ci.

She swept her eyes over Yan Ci's calm yet beautiful face, and said comfortingly and jokingly, "God must have pity on someone as beautiful as our Ah Ci, so he wouldn't let you die."

Yan Ci smiled faintly. If it was really God's mercy, then the real Yan Ci would not have died so quietly.

Suddenly Qiu Fuqiu narrowed her eyes and said in surprise: "Ah, Ah Ci, why is your mouth broken?"

Yan Ci raised his hand and touched his lips, feeling a slight pain in them.

It was just a little breakage of the oily skin, nothing serious. If Qiu Fuqiu hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have felt it at all.

When did it break? She didn't remember biting her lip.

Suddenly, the moment when I fell out of the fake cave flashed through my mind. I almost landed on my face. I think that was when I hit it.

Yan Ci was thankful again. If Xie Chengyin hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed her, it would have been more than just her lips that were broken.

But in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was better not to let anyone know that she and Xie Chengyin were hiding in the fake cave together.

Facing Qiu Fuqiu's inquiring gaze, Yan Ci said vaguely: "It should be that he bit it while eating."

Qiu Fuqiu didn't believe it. The bitten spot was on the lower outer side of the lip, not on the overbite. How big a front tooth would be needed to bite that spot?

And how could you not know that you bit yourself?

Qiu Fuqiu joked, "I don't think so. How could someone bite something outside when eating? Maybe someone else bit it?"

Yan Ci listened to Qiu Fuqiu's increasingly outrageous words, and pushed her with a stern face, "Bite one and let me see."

Qiu Fuqiu laughed, "I won't. If that person knows, he will be jealous."

Yan Ci's face was full of black lines, and he admired Qiu Fuqiu's imagination very much.

Seeing Yan Ci getting annoyed, Qiu Fuqiu said seriously, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. If you say so, then it is so. Remember to apply some medicine when you go back. If it gets swollen, it won't be good."

While they were talking, they had already reached where the carriages were parked. After saying goodbye, they each went to where their own carriages were parked.

Yan Ci walked to the place where he got off the car, and was stunned to see that the place where the Yan family's carriage was originally parked was empty.

There was no carriage and no Yan Cheng.

Are you planning to let her go back on her own?

This is outside the city of Dongdu. With her legs alone, she won't be able to reach home by this time tomorrow.

Yan Ci felt the veins on her forehead throbbing. If she had known this would happen, she should have prepared an extra carriage when leaving the Yan Mansion.

But it was too late to say anything now, Qiu Fuqiu had already left, and she didn't even have the chance to catch a ride.

A cool breeze blew by, and Yan Ci shivered unconsciously. Her body was not as cold as her heart. Her good second brother really forgot about her, his sister.

Yan Ci wrapped herself in thin clothes and prepared to walk forward, hoping that by some chance she would meet someone she knew who could give her a ride.

At this moment, a soft voice sounded behind her.

"Isn't this Miss Yan?"

Yan Ci felt the voice sounded familiar, and before he turned around to look at the person coming, he smelled a peculiar scent.

Like stir-fried chili peppers or burnt cumin, it is a bit pungent and stinging to the eyes.
