Not only was Ke Jin stunned, but Ou Nuo beside him also looked as if he had seen a ghost.

The silver-haired young man walked into the yard and looked around. When he saw Ke Jin and the others, he walked over and sat down at the small round table under the shade of the tree.

The silver-haired young man had a smile on his face, while Ke Jin and Ou Nuo looked alert. The three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

"What are you doing here?" Oloy was the first to speak. "Are you itching for trouble again? Do you want us to tie you up and beat you up again?"

The silver-haired young man's gaze was cast towards the transparent light ball in the boy's hand. The "jelly ball" inside became active after the other party appeared. Its light pink body seemed to glow with joy, and it lay on the light ball cover and chirped non-stop.

Oloy raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Oh, so you came here to see this thing?"

The silver-haired young man had a natural expression, as if he had completely forgotten the unpleasantness of last night. He said calmly: "It's not called 'this thing', its name is Xiaochu."

Ke Jin couldn't help but complain: "Could it be that you named it Xiaojiu because it kept chirping?"

The young man looked at Ke Jin with some surprise: "You actually understand my naming philosophy so well, maybe we have a lot in common."

...What naming philosophy? Please just say you are bad at naming!

Oloy gently flicked the ball of light in his hand. As the ball of light rolled on the table, the young man's eyes followed it. Suddenly, the boy turned his wrist and stuffed the ball of light directly into his pocket, with a provocative look as if to say "I won't let you see it and make you angry to death".

When the boy put away the light ball, Ke Jin clearly heard Xiaoqiu whimpering and a hint of disappointment flashed across the young man's eyes. He then looked at Ou Nuo's arrogant expression and couldn't help but think silently.

——Why do I have a strong feeling that a wicked mother-in-law is breaking up lovers... Who is the bad guy?

Lowering his eyes to hide the disappointment in them, the silver-haired young man ignored Ou Nuo's hostility and continued to sit steadily in his seat, with no intention of leaving.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Oloy asked impatiently.

The other party did not answer, but looked at Ke Jin.

"Yesterday you said - I tampered with your card pool, and you used my stuff to make up for the loss. It was an equal exchange, and we didn't owe each other anything, right?"

Ke Jin nodded: "Yes."

"Does your Kachi Courtyard have rules that say Kalings are not allowed in?"

Ke Jin shook his head: "No."

"Then you have a rule here that people who come in must draw their cards immediately, or they are not allowed to stay in the courtyard?"

Ke Jin continued to shake his head: "No."

"In that case, we no longer owe each other anything, and all grudges are settled. I am sitting here now, not stealing or robbing, and it is reasonable and legal. You have no right to kick me out, right?" He said the last sentence while looking at Oloy.

Ke Jin thought about it and nodded: "Yes, that's right." He paused for a moment and added, "But if you steal again, no matter how you make up for it, the door of this Kachi Courtyard will be closed to you forever."

"I have no objection." The silver-haired young man smiled.

Just then, a new guest entered the Kachi courtyard. Ke Jin stood up to receive him, leaving Ou Nuo and the young man sitting face to face at the small table.

"Is your face made of the deck of a spaceship?" Oroi snorted unhappily, "You are really thick."

The silver-haired young man looked calm, as if to say, "Whatever you say, I won't be angry anyway." The smile on his face was so standard that it looked like he was wearing a mask. "Your master hasn't said anything yet. You have to hold it in even if you are dissatisfied."

"Huh?" Oloy almost laughed in anger, "What master? Don't apply your Kaling stereotypes to us. Do you think all humans are like you, who must have the protection of a master to survive?"

"Really?" The young man said disapprovingly, "I see you listen to him so much, do you really think you are a master and servant?"

"How ridiculous." Olloy rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "That's right, you're used to being a slave, so naturally everyone looks like a master who is superior to you."

The silver-haired young man's eyes twitched, as if the other party's words had hit his minefield. He subconsciously clenched his fists, and after a long time he managed to maintain the calmness on his face, and said lightly.

"Don't confuse me with those lowly Kalings."

"They shouldn't be confused." Oloy nodded, "Because you are worse than them - a card spirit that is so poor that it runs to other people's homes to steal food is also a great wonder in the card spirit world, right? Where is your original owner? Could it be that he thinks you are too useless and drove you out?"

The young man's lips were tightly pursed into a line, and the smile on his face was gone. His golden animal eyes were filled with cold anger as he stared coldly at the boy opposite him.

"Can you please say it again?"

Oloy was not afraid of him at all and smiled slightly: "Oh? It seems that what I said was right? You were really kicked out by the previous owner because you were too useless?"

Ke Jin was pointing at the cartoon pictures of snacks on the promotional board on the lawn and explaining everything to the new mother and daughter customers when he suddenly heard a loud "bang". The three of them looked towards the source of the sound in amazement and saw that the small round table under the shade of the tree was broken into pieces. The two people, one big and one small, sitting at the table were stunned at first, then both retracted their hands and looked at Ke Jin innocently.

Ke Jin: “…”

The scene was extremely quiet.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

With a "wow" sound, the three-year-old girl who was holding her mother's hand suddenly burst into tears with her mouth pursed.

"Mom, it's so scary here, wuwuwu, I want to go home..."

***

Oloy was grabbed by the collar and dragged back into the house by Ke Jin.

The other culprit also wisely moved to another shade of tree.

"He was the first to attack!" The boy complained angrily as soon as he entered the room, thinking that Ke Jin was too biased for not driving the guy away immediately. "I was just acting in self-defense!"

"Didn't I tell you that you can't use those weird cards in public except under special circumstances?" Ke Jin rubbed his swollen temples with a headache. "You haven't even gotten your temporary identity approved yet, and now you want to be sent to the police station for tea?!"

Ke Jin was a complete card novice, but he knew with his toes that the traps set by Ounuo last night were not ordinary stuff at all, and they might be the legendary powerful supernatural cards. However, these were Ounuo's personal belongings, and Ke Jin had no right to ask about their origins, so he just turned a blind eye and let him do what he wanted.

However, Ke Jin also completely believed what Ounuo said before: he was really fine in that "suspected kidnapping by human traffickers" - with these powerful cards, who could do anything to him! And Ke Jin had enough reason to suspect that the supernatural fluctuations detected by the police in the room at that time might have been caused by Ounuo...

Azure Star has strict control over the ability cards, and Ounuo is an "illegal user", so Ke Jin told him not to let outsiders see him using those "strange cards". Ounuo agreed at the time, but then this happened.

"Anyway...anyway, that guy is very dangerous. He will attack you if you disagree with something. You have to drive him away!" the boy said confidently.

"He was just taught a lesson by you yesterday, and he knows how powerful you are. He must have been crazy to attack you." Ke Jin knew Ou Nuo's "hatred-attracting" attribute too well, and said bluntly, "You must have said something you shouldn't have said, which made him angry and attacked you, right?"

The boy opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't refute, so he could only snort in dissatisfaction.

Ke Jin was really confused - Oh my god, I was right... Oh, this kid has such a bad personality. It's okay now, but when he grows up, whether he can make friends smoothly will be a problem, right? I don't know how his family taught him before...

He "harshly" scolded the boy a few more times, and when he saw that he lowered his head and said nothing, as if he knew he was wrong, Ke Jin softened his expression and rubbed his head comfortingly.

"Don't do that again next time. Well, stay in the house for now. I'll make lunch."

After saying that, Ke Jin went to the kitchen, but he didn't know that as soon as he turned around, the boy immediately gave him a middle finger arrogantly in the direction of the courtyard gate outside the window, and then went to do other things with a refreshed look on his face.

***

At noon, the sun was particularly hot. There was not a single breeze around, and in addition to the dry heat, the scorching air was filled with a suffocating dullness.

The young man, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and happened to meet the eyes of the person who walked up to him.

"You're not leaving yet?" Ke Jin looked at the silver-haired young man curiously and put the herbal tea in his hand on the small table. "Are you really planning to stay here for a day?"

The man smiled and pushed a pile of books on the table in front of Ke Jin: "I'll help you clean it up."

After the small table broke, the books that Ke Jin had placed on the table were also damaged. One of the books was broken into pieces, and the others were also damaged to varying degrees. Ke Jin didn't know what method the other party used, except for the one that was completely unsalvageable, the other books were as new as new, without even a speck of dust on the cover.

Ke Jin looked at the carefully restored books, then looked at the young man, with a somewhat strange expression on his face.

"The current situation reminds me of an old saying from my hometown."

"Oh?" the young man asked with great interest, "What is that?"

"If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Ke Jin said slowly.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly.

"I'm actually a good Ka Ling." He spread his hands innocently, "I promise, I won't do it again. You should give me a chance to start over, right?"

"Really?" Ke Jin still had some doubts in his heart, "Then why did you come back here?"

"Because Xiaoju is in your hands." The young man shrugged. "You are worried about me, but I am also worried about you, so of course I have to come and see you. Besides, I have always been a wanderer, so it doesn't matter where I go. Since Xiaoju is here, I will come here."

Ke Jin carefully observed the other person's expression and felt that the young man did not seem to be lying, but in Ke Jin's heart, there was still a question that was difficult to resolve.

"Answer me another question." Ke Jin said.

The other party made a "please" gesture.

"The evening before yesterday, when you drew cards here, you finally drew an SSR, right?"

The young man's eyes changed slightly, but he remained calm on the surface: "Well, so what?"

"Don't play dumb anymore." Ke Jin shook his head. "When you looked at the attributes on the back of the card, your expression and attitude changed instantly. I want to know, what did you see at that time?"

The silver-haired young man lowered his eyes and said nothing for a long time.

"If you don't tell me, I won't be able to rebuild my trust in you." Ke Jin said without compromising, "Of course, I can't let you stay here any longer."

The young man sighed heavily, as if he had completely given up, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Well, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I just feel a little embarrassed... Actually, I misunderstood at that time."

"?"

"You know your card pool is quite special, right?" the young man said, "When you draw an SSR, a random divination will appear."

"Words of the Spirit?" Ke Jin was stunned. Didn't Ounuo and Bai Fan say that it was a prophecy? Hmm... maybe they are similar?

"I've seen a card pool with this kind of special additional attributes before." The other party continued, "So the moment I saw the divination, I thought you were related to the owner of that card pool. Of course, I have now ruled you out as a suspect and know that you two are definitely not related."

Ke Jin was very surprised: "Really? Who is that person?"

"I don't know his real name either - there are probably not many people who know his real name, but he has a well-known nickname, called 'Devil'."

Ke Jin thought about it carefully and confirmed that he had never heard of this name: "I have never heard of him."

"Since you haven't heard of him, forget it. Maybe the additional attributes of your card pools are similar, it's just a coincidence." The young man said, "This person is very dangerous. You don't need to know too much. Knowing too much is not good for you."

"Do you have a grudge against this man called 'Devil King'?" Ke Jin asked, "So you are so hostile to me because you suspect I have a relationship with him?"

The young man's eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was having a hard time speaking. "It's not a grudge. I... uh, also tampered with his card pool. If he finds out I'm here, I'll be dead."

Ke Jin: “…”

This guy is really a habitual thief!

"Come to think of it, you haven't told me what the oracle inscriptions you saw were." With the biggest doubt in his heart resolved, Ke Jin finally felt relieved and his tone became much more relaxed.

The young man's expression became even more strange, as if it was even more difficult for him to speak than before. After being questioned by Ke Jin several times, he finally spoke reluctantly.

"Can I not tell you?" He muttered softly, "It's really hard to talk to you... Of course, the most important thing is that the oracle is no longer accurate, so there's no point in telling you."

But the more this happened, the more curious Ke Jin became, and finally he made a direct promise: If he told him, he would let Ounuo let Xiaoqiu out to play with him for a while.

Faced with the temptation, the young man finally gave in and whispered the contents of the oracle.

After listening to this, Ke Jin was stunned for a long while before he smiled faintly.

"Oh, so that's how it is." He paused and said softly.

"Well, it's not allowed... This kind of thing will never happen again."

The silver-haired young man's body trembled slightly, but his expression quickly returned to normal and he smiled.

"Then I feel relieved."

The two chatted for a few more words. Ke Jin took the books that the other party had sorted out and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"Oh, by the way," Ke Jin said, "I haven't asked yet, what should I call you?"

"Qi." The young man smiled, "What about you?"

"Just call me Ke Jin."

Watching the black-haired young man turn and leave, when the other party completely disappeared from his sight, the smile that had been on the corner of Qi's mouth slowly disappeared, and a trace of confusion emerged in his eyes.

"'This kind of thing will never happen again'..." He softly repeated what Ke Jin had just said, and couldn't help but think of the divination he had seen again.

——【Good luck. Your destiny master is far away in the sky and close at hand.】

He had gone to great lengths to escape from that place, and had paid such a huge price to regain his freedom. He would never let anyone become his master again, nor would he let anyone try to dominate his destiny again. He had secretly sworn - even if he died, he would never serve humans again, and if anyone tried to become his master, he would simply kill the other person first.

So when Bu Ci told him that the young man standing in front of him would be his next master, he really wanted to kill him.

——But he didn't expect that the other party would reject him first.

Not only did he reject it outright when signing the contract, but he also rejected it again with great certainty just now.

He should be happy with this result - he was indeed relieved and relaxed because of it - but...

But why, after being rejected so clearly, do I feel a little bit...uncomfortable?
