Nie Beilou's timely words restored Xi Jiu's shattered sanity.
He leaned against the wall, breathed heavily, and closed his eyes to calm down.
Nie Beilou's voice rang on the phone again: "After Xiaoqi celebrated her twentieth birthday, I stopped asking anyone to calculate her fortune. So, I immediately called those friends who were engaged in numerology.
, let them calculate Xiaoqi’s destiny again. If she is really a dead person..."
Nie Beilou paused, "We can wait until you return to China to talk about this matter. I also want to ask this stinky girl how many things she has hidden from us."
Nie Beilou felt distressed and angry when he thought of his precious apprentice who had died at some point.
The little girl is young, but she has big ideas and dares to hide anything.
I dare to carry it myself even if I die once.
Do you think his master is dead?!
Nie Beilou gritted his teeth in anger and wished he could cross the ocean to Country Y right now and grab the little girl and give her a good beating.
"Let's put aside the matter of the fate of the dead for now. Xiao Qi is still alive, so there is no rush. The first thing we deal with now is the thirteen bloody stars. Xiao Qi and Old Davis are in the divination room to seize the chance of life.
?"
"Yes." Xi Jiu replied.
Nie Beilou was silent for a moment on the phone, and said thoughtfully: "I have heard a little about the Davis family's divination. Generally speaking, there should be no way to decipher cards like Thirteen Bloody Stars.
.Who said there is still life in Xiao Qi? Old Davis?"
Xi Jiu didn't know much about metaphysics and numerology before, so he didn't notice many flaws in Ruan Qi's words.
Now that Nie Beilou said it, he also faintly noticed that something was wrong.
He thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "It's not Old Davis. It's Xiao Qi who said that she met an expert when she was young. The expert said that she had a strange fate and that she had a chance of survival..."
"What nonsense!" Nie Beilou interrupted Xi Jiu angrily, "This girl has been under my nose all the time when she was a child. I even thought she secretly shaved the big black dog from the old Zhangtou's house next door.
You know, why don’t I remember that she met an expert? You also believe this nonsense!"
"..." Xi Jiu silently accepted the reprimand from his fiancée's master.
Nie Beilou cursed a few times angrily, then calmed down and said: "This girl Xiaoqi doesn't understand numerology, so she can't possibly feel whether there is life in her body. There should be someone more mysterious behind her to help her, I guess she can
Resurrection from the dead is also the work of this person."
When Xi Jiu heard Nie Beilou's words, he suddenly remembered something.
When he and Ruan Qi reunited in the Imperial Capital a year ago, Ruan Qi once told him not to leave the Imperial Capital in the next week. If he had to go out, try not to take a plane. Otherwise, he would suffer a bloody disaster.
Xi Jiu originally wanted to listen to Ruan Qi and stay in the Imperial Capital for a week. But then a sudden accident happened in Shanghai, and he had no choice but to leave the Imperial Capital.
Then, the bloody disaster came true.
Xi Jiu encountered an ambush on his way to Shanghai Airport. He didn't bring many people with him that time, and the enemy's firepower was too fierce. Even though he was a powerful ancient martial artist, he almost died in a hail of bullets.
After that incident, Xi Jiu only thought that Ruan Qi understood numerology and could predict crises.
But now Nie Beilou says that Ruan Qi doesn't understand numerology.
Then how did she know that he was suffering from a bloody disaster?
Xi Jiu thought for a moment and told Nie Beilou about the incident.
After hearing this, Nie Beilou sneered.
"It seems that what this girl is hiding from me is not just her resurrection from the dead. She didn't have any ability to predict and divination before. I think this ability was probably given to her by the people behind her."
As Nie Beilou said, he couldn't help grinding his teeth and said to Xi Jiu, "Don't ask her about these things now. I will settle the accounts with her after returning to China. By the way, do the Xi family know the Zhuge family? I remember you.
The old man once asked Zhuge Lang to divine your father."
The country of China has a vast territory and rich resources, and there are capable people and strangers, hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Among these capable men and strangers, there is a metaphysics family named Zhuge.
The Zhuge family is good at numerology, looking at the past and predicting the future. Back then, Xi Jiu's father, Xi Xiaoran, was obsessed with evil. Mr. Xi asked Zhuge Lang, the head of the Zhuge family, to come out and avoid death for him.
Nie Beilou wanted Xi Jiu to go find Zhuge Lang and help Ruan Qi predict the chance of survival.
It just so happens that Xi Jiu also has this intention.
"I'll call grandpa soon. Mr. Zhuge and my grandpa are old friends, so he will be so helpful. In addition to the Zhuge family, I will invite a few other fortune telling families. The more people there are, the greater the strength."
Nie Beilou said 'hmm': "Then you should accompany Xiaoqi first. If you need anything, please contact me in time. I'll hang up and call those old friends."
Nie Beilou was thinking about Ruan Qi's matter, so he hung up the phone without being polite to Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu looked at the hung up phone, opened the address book, found Mr. Xi's phone number, and dialed it quickly.
Because Ruan Qi's matter has not yet been decided, Xi Jiu did not elaborate on it with Mr. Xi. He only vaguely said that Ruan Qi was in some trouble and needed to ask Zhuge Lang to come out.
As soon as Mr. Xi heard that his grandson-in-law had something to do, he immediately agreed without saying anything.
After ending the call with the old man, Xi Jiu called Gong Qi again.
He asked Gong Qi to contact several metaphysics families who were friendly with the Xi family and send invitations to their heads.
He wants to invite them to get together to discuss numerology.
Xi Jiu made one call after another in an orderly manner, and the messy things gradually became organized through his instructions.
By the time the last call was made, the ancient clock of Davis Manor had already struck seventeen times.
It’s past five o’clock in the evening.
Ruan Qi and Old Davis haven't come out yet.
Xi Jiu felt a little tight in his chest. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt and walked back to the door of the divination room. He remained motionless like a doorkeeper.
It gets dark much earlier in October than in summer.
When the hour hand of the ancient clock gradually approached the number six, the sky outside turned completely dark.
The door of the divination room, which had been closed all afternoon, slowly opened at the same time.
When Xi Jiu heard the sound of the door opening, her body and mind moved into action, and she rushed in front of Ruan Qi in one swift step.
He bent down, placed his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and kept looking at the little girl with his dark eyes.
"Is the baby okay?"
Ruan Qi shook her head and smiled with a crooked eyebrow.
Seeing that her face looked normal, Xi Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Then she raised her head and looked at Old Davis beside her.
"Excuse me, old Duke, has the divination produced any results?"
Xi Jiu looked calm, but old Davis noticed his hand clenched on the wheelchair.
They are all people who love their wives as much as their lives. The old Duke understood Xi Jiu's mood at this time very well, and nodded directly without hanging on him.
