"Yan Qi? Why are you here?"

At the same time, Lin's mother also discovered Li Yanqi.

"Hey, Aunt, Miss Lin, why are you here too?" He looked confused, met the suspicious gaze of his sweetheart, and walked towards the mother and daughter.

"I heard from my servants that a monk who is very good at fortune-telling came to Jiulong Temple. Aunt, you know that I will be nineteen after the Chinese New Year."

As she spoke, Li Yanqi's long black eyelashes drooped, and she said with a bit of shyness, "I just wanted to ask for a fortune."

Mother Lin smiled knowingly and agreed, "Indeed, other boys your age already have children running around. You should hurry up."

Judging from Li Yanqi's recent performance, Lin's mother now completely trusts him and treats him as her own junior.

"I came here with Zhizhi today to ask for a lucky charm... You said that fortune teller is very effective? Let's go get our fortune told as well."

"That's great. I have no parents, and there are no female elders around me to give me advice. There are many things I don't understand. I can rest assured knowing you are here, auntie."

Li Yanqi narrowed his charming phoenix eyes, smiled harmlessly at Mother Lin, and held her arm with his hand: "I know where the fortune teller is. I'll take you there."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lin Yanyu, who was looking at him with a complicated expression, and smiled like a fox stealing a chicken.

"Miss Lin, don't just stand there, let's go together."

Li Yanqi had a pair of straight long legs. In order to match the pace of the Lin mother and daughter, he took very small steps and led them through the Jiulong Temple as if taking a walk. He suddenly stopped in front of a temple and turned to ask Lin's mother.

"The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is in front of us. Didn't Auntie ask for a peace amulet? Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Mother Lin smiled and said, "Yes."

"Mom, I'll go in with you." Lin Yanyu planned to go in with her mother.

"No need, Zhizhi, just wait here for a moment, mom will be out soon."

Lin Yanyu frowned in confusion: "Mom?"

Mother Lin seemed a little embarrassed. She leaned over to her daughter's ear and whispered, "Mom has something to say to the Buddha."

Lin Yanyu understood and guessed that it was some private words. She felt like laughing inside, but she said nothing more and let her mother enter the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple alone.

While Lin Yanyu was still watching her mother's back disappearing into the temple gate, Li Yanqi had already put his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into the dense bushes of flowers and trees.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he hugged the person tightly in his arms and took a few deep breaths at the fragrant scent of his beloved in his arms.

"You are so heartless. You never came to see me once, not even a message. I missed you so much."

"You know that my grandma is not in good health and I have to take care of her." Lin Yan's voice was as soft as a mosquito. She shrank her head and pushed away the other's chest with both hands.

"I don't care, just tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Lin Yanyu's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. She didn't dare to look at his face. She just wanted to deal with it first and get out of this embarrassing situation.

"Let it go first. I'll make it up to you in two days. I'll give you a gift I made myself, okay?"

"Tsk tsk, last time I took a handkerchief from you, you were all whining. It's rare."

Li Yanqi pulled up the corners of his mouth to reveal a big smile, and he was obviously happy.

"Okay, then I agree to accept your compensation, but..."

"?"

"I want to get some interest first."

The unfinished words disappeared between lips and teeth.

"Well……"

When Lin's mother came out of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple, she saw her daughter and Li Yanqi standing on either side of the yard, like strangers, who only came to greet her when they saw her come out.

"Hey, Yanqi, what's wrong with your face? Why does it look a little swollen?"

Li Yanqi covered his left cheek. In front of his sweetheart's mother, he, who was always thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, it's okay, Aunt Lin. I was accidentally hit by a branch when I was walking just now."

Lin Yanyu saw his awkward look of avoiding eyes, without any sympathy, she just cursed silently in her heart: It's what he deserves! Her mouth was still burning.

"Tsk, young people nowadays like to act rashly. They should pay attention to where they are walking in the future." Lin's mother shook her head with a look of disapproval.

"My aunt taught me that I must be careful next time. I have just found out the location of the fortune teller. Let's go over there."

Li Yanqi took the Lin mother and daughter through several temples until they came to a house without a Buddha statue.

There was a set of tables and benches in front of the room. Behind the table was an old monk with his eyes closed and his hair and beard completely white, dozing off. In front of him were a few yellowed books and a bamboo tube for shaking fortune sticks.

Three people walked in front of him.

Li Yanqi stopped hesitantly and thought to himself: This old monk really looks like the real deal, and Ma Xigui is a prudent guy.

The old monk half opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and met the gaze of Li Yanqi who was looking at him, and immediately widened his eyes in shock.

Li Yanqi felt that his gaze was strange and he became wary. He asked him, "Are you the new fortune-teller monk from Jiulong Temple?"

The old monk seemed not to hear his question. He looked Li Yanqi up and down with compassionate eyes, filled with surprise and admiration.

"Stop looking, old monk. I'm asking you a question." Li Yanqi felt comfortable with this kind of gaze, and once again reaffirmed Ma Xigui's ability to do things.

Mother Lin pulled Li Yanqi in disapproval and said, "The children are outspoken. Please don't mind. We are here to tell fortunes. Could you please condescend to do a favor and tell fortunes for these two children?"

The old monk then shifted his gaze from Li Yanqi to Lin Yanyu who was standing beside her.

His surprised look instantly turned into suspicion, his long white eyebrows knitted together, and he kept muttering, "How could this be? This shouldn't be happening. This shouldn't be happening."

His abnormal behavior frightened Lin's mother.

"Master, have you figured out anything? Is my daughter in trouble?"

Li Yanqi felt unhappy when he saw him playing tricks. What a Westerner, pretending to be so mysterious and even scaring his future mother-in-law.

He raised an eyebrow and warned the other party: "That's enough, old monk."

"Yan Qi, you must not be rude to the master."

Mother Lin let Li Yanqi step back and said, "Master, could you please give me some advice?"

"Don't worry, my lady. Your daughter has a face that shows she is destined to be rich and prosperous. She will surely rise like a phoenix and bring honor to the family. What I'm curious about is that the girl..."

The old monk turned to look at Lin Yanyu and asked respectfully: "Excuse me, young lady, are you from two lives...?"

He paused and didn't continue speaking, looking at Lin Yanyu with eyes full of compassion.

"!"

Lin Yanyu was so shocked that she took two steps back and stepped on the hem of her skirt, about to fall.

Li Yanqi had been paying attention to his sweetheart. He quickly reached out to hold her slender waist and was about to get angry, but was stopped by the pale-faced Lin Yanyu who held his wrist.

The old monk was not wrong. She was indeed... a person from two worlds.
