Qi Yu tried to hold back, but couldn't resist the urge to defend herself.
She found a thin veil to cover her face, cleared her throat, and walked over, saying, "I saw you standing here earlier, miss. I wonder what's troubling you?"
Wu Qianqian glanced at her warily, but didn't recognize her as Qi Yu. She simply said to the girl who had inexplicably struck up a conversation, "It's nothing."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Actually, I'm a fortune teller. Seeing the young lady looking so worried, I couldn't resist doing a divination."
Wu Qianqian glanced at Qi Yu suspiciously. This girl was completely empty-handed, without any tortoise shell or destiny plate, yet she spoke so casually, it was hard to believe.
I'm afraid he's just here to swindle and cheat.
Wu Qianqian got up to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Qi Yu grabbed her hand and said, "Don't rush off, miss. I won't take your money."
Wu Qianqian was so annoyed that she crossed her arms, wanting to see what kind of nonsense this person could come up with.
Seeing that she had stopped, Qi Yu shook his head and said, "You have a friend who has recently run into some trouble, right?"
Wu Qianqian's eyebrows twitched, and then she remembered that this person might have overheard her mutterings, so it was normal for him to guess.
"Well, and then?"
"You're feeling very indecisive right now, suspicious and distrustful of your friends, and you feel betrayed, right?"
Wu Qianqian looked at her like she was watching a performance, "And then?"
Qi Yu said mysteriously, "According to my divination, your friend is most likely being framed. Someone deliberately set a trap to frame her."
Wu Qianqian stood up straight, her clear eyes looking directly at her, and asked, "Anything else?"
Qi Yu's lips curled slightly as she asked, "Are you very worried about her?"
Wu Qianqian lowered her eyes and said softly, "The person is dead, what is there to worry about?"
"Ah... but my divination shows that your friend survived a near-death experience and is still alive."
Wu Qianqian's expression changed, and she suddenly reached out and ripped off Qi Yu's veil.
Beneath the veil was a completely unfamiliar face.
Qi Yu chuckled softly.
Wu Qianqian's eyelashes trembled as she asked, "Is it you? Qi Yu?"
Qi Yu winked her right eye and said, "No, it's not."
Wu Qianqian's eyes reddened, and she hugged her tightly, saying, "I knew it was you!"
Qi Yu was a little surprised when she was suddenly hugged. Wu Qianqian had always been a cool and aloof fairy, and she didn't expect her to be so emotional at this moment.
She tentatively patted Wu Qianqian's back and said helplessly, "Didn't you just suspect I was a witch? Why are you clinging to me like this now?"
Wu Qianqian released her, her face also slightly red. "Everyone says you're a witch, and that you've killed several people. You're also the one who crippled Li An."
Qi Yu curled her lip and said, "There aren't that many people. I just killed that fat pig pharmacist from their sect who wanted to take advantage of me, and taught Li An a lesson for trying to steal my sword. And they call me a witch and smear me. They really can't take a joke."
Wu Qianqian: "..."
Although it seems that Qiankun Fortress was indeed the one who provoked first, you look really like a witch right now.
"Knowing that you're not a witch who indiscriminately kills innocents and associates with monsters, I'm relieved. My judgment of people isn't that bad." She sighed. "Now that everyone thinks you're dead, it's actually a good thing for you."
"Hmm, it just so happens that I've also reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Hope we can meet again someday."
With that, Qi Yu waved his hand, intending to go to the old house in the south of the city.
"Wait!" Wu Qianqian called out to her, took something out of her storage ring, and handed it to her. "Although we haven't spent much time together, I truly consider you a friend. Since we won't have many opportunities to meet in the future, I'm giving you something as a gift for your Foundation Establishment."
Qi Yu took the item.
A finely crafted ring, engraved with eight golden spirit stones.
If I'm not mistaken, that golden spirit stone should be a high-grade spirit stone.
One high-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Eight, which is 80,000 low-grade spirit stones...
Qi Yu slowly opened her mouth wide, staring blankly at Wu Qianqian.
Wu Qianqian said, "This is a storage ring. Besides storing things, the spirit stones inlaid on it are refined high-grade spirit stones that can store about all the spiritual power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. My father asked someone to make it for me, but I don't need it now. You are going out to explore now, so it will be safer to take this with you. You don't have to worry about not having enough spiritual power."
A storage ring that can be refined from top-grade spirit stones and used to store spiritual energy would probably be incredibly expensive.
"It's so valuable..." Qi Yu wanted it, but felt she shouldn't take it. After hesitating for a moment, she stuffed the ring back to Wu Qianqian, saying, "I can't accept it."
Wu Qianqian forcefully slipped the ring onto her finger, saying, "If you consider me a friend, then accept it."
"Waaah." Qi Yu looked at Wu Qianqian putting the ring on her finger and felt that even if her future groom put the ring on her finger, he would never like her as much as Wu Qianqian did at this moment.
Is this the joy of being kept by a rich woman?
So happy.
Qi Yu nestled into Wu Qianqian's arms with a big smile, and said emotionally, "I do... no! I like it so much!"
Sitting in front of the water mirror, looking at Qi Yu's phoenix flute: "..."
Why do my teeth feel a little itchy?
Wu Qianqian smiled, ruffled Qi Yu's fluffy hair, and said, "I will keep it a secret and not tell anyone that you are not dead, so don't worry."
Qi Yu nodded and said earnestly, "Thank you, Qianqian."
Wu Qianqian smiled and said, "Go ahead, Xiaoyu, best wishes to you."
After saying goodbye to Wu Qianqian, Qi Yu felt a little lost. She gently stroked the ring on her right middle finger and sighed softly.
She clenched her fist and walked towards the old house in the south of the city.
When I sneaked into Yi Xiangfeng's room, he was writing something at his desk.
Noticing the uninvited guest, he looked up in surprise and said, "Why is the fairy here again?"
Qi Yu: "..." Why does she seem a little unwelcoming?
But this time she came for business, so Qi Yu cut to the chase: "I want to know, who are you?"
Yi Xiangfeng's smile faded slightly, and he said helplessly, "I am but a scholar, I do not know why the fairy asks this?"
"A scholar who can tell fortunes?"
"I only have a slight understanding."
Even a slight understanding will prevent you from being silenced by the world's will.
Qi Yu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Since you're a fortune teller, then let me ask you, have you predicted my fate?"
Yi Xiangfeng frowned and said, "The divination results are ever-changing. The fairy's fate is closely related to her own choices. As long as she follows her heart, she can move towards a bright future."
"What do you mean by waiting for me at the starting point?"
"Literal meaning."
Qi Yu stared at him and asked, "Yes, which origin point? Does it have anything to do with my future?"
Yi Xiangfeng raised his eyes and met Qi Yu's gaze, saying, "It's just a small selfish reason of mine."
Qi Yu looked at him, then suddenly raised her hand to remove his blindfold.
