"Put it down. With that broken sword of yours, I couldn't kill you even if I stood there and let you kill me!"
The newcomer had a hint of deliberate mockery in his voice, but the next second he waved his hand and cleared away all the spirit beasts in the cave. Only then did Jiang Yuan see the newcomer.
The voice was familiar, it belonged to a woman, but Jiang Yuan didn't recognize her at first. The woman was covered by a long black robe, the style of which was similar to the one Zhong Litong had worn before.
"I knew there was something strange about you, and it turns out you even have a little pet with you!"
The woman's face was completely covered, but Jiang Yuan recognized the voice—it was Gong Suxin, the woman who had helped him before.
"Why is it you?" Jiang Yuan was surprised. He had thought that An Xiaoyu or Liu Zhaodi might not be able to control themselves and come looking for him, but he never expected that Gong Suxin would come.
"Go into the cave obediently, don't force me to use force!" Gong Suxin didn't want to waste words with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. He raised his sword and said, "Don't do this! Although I'm weak now, I'd rather die than submit!"
"Hurry up!" Gong Suxin kicked Jiang Yuan in the butt and said irritably, "You don't even know your life line has been taken. If you let her set up an astrology altar, she'll dig up your ancestors for eighteen generations!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He instantly thought of Zhong Litong taking something from him before, and now he became nervous upon hearing Gong Suxin's words.
"Don't think your little pet is useful. This weak tortoise shell immortal can be crushed by my senior sister from tens of thousands of miles away with star magic!" Gong Suxin seemed to have guessed what Jiang Yuan was thinking.
Jiang Yuan dared not waste any more words. He limped quickly into the cave. Was he kidding? Did Gong Suxin really need to force him? He had to take the initiative!
"Pretty sister, what should I do next?" Jiang Yuan sat down in a gossip-filled area as Gong Suxin instructed, but he had no idea what Gong Suxin was going to do next.
"I will block the cause and effect that you cannot reveal at present, and then I will use astrology to steal the sky and change the sun for you. Only in this way will my senior sister be unable to see everything about you through your life lines!"
As she spoke, Gong Suxin took out nine copper coins, placed eight of them in the Bagua position, and then gave one of them to Jiang Yuan, saying, "Suck it tightly!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"What are you standing there for? Suck it in!" Gong Suxin pinched Jiang Yuan's cheek and forced the copper coin in.
After placing the copper coins, Gong Suxin lit the nine star lamps again, but this time she didn't let Jiang Yuan hold them in his mouth. After all, the star lamps were quite large, and he didn't have the ability to hold them in his mouth even if he wanted to.
"Let me make this clear beforehand: I specialize in divination, not astrology. So when I use the star chart to sever your karma, I need to connect with your consciousness. So don't think about anything nonsense. If you pollute my mind, I'll kill you!" Gong Suxin took out a star chart engraved with phase star patterns.
"What do you mean by 'messy'?" Jiang Yuan still didn't understand Gong Suxin's intentions. Although he couldn't tell if she was good or bad, she had helped him before and knew that he was being targeted by Zhong Litong, so she came to help him. She must be a friend, not an enemy.
"What a waste!"
Gong Suxin only responded with three words, and then began to adjust the aspects of her astrological chart to prepare.
Jiang Yuan dared not utter a sound and could only follow Gong Suxin's instructions throughout the entire process.
Once the phases were set, Jiang Yuan focused his consciousness into the astrological chart, and then Gong Suxin followed suit.
"Now you can imagine the causes and effects that could expose your identity, and I will block them one by one for you!"
As Gong Suxin spoke, the star chart began to activate, and Jiang Yuan naturally went through the cause and effect from the time the catastrophe occurred until the destruction of Nancheng.
However, Gong Suxin's behavior was somewhat puzzling. Whenever he thought of something, Gong Suxin would have a strange expression and then warn him with her eyes. But because they could not communicate due to the severing of cause and effect, the two could only communicate with their eyes.
"Could she be lamenting my unrestrained life?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but wonder.
After the events in Nancheng, Jiang Yuan revealed the karmic connections of Ning Yanlan, Liu Zhaodi, An Xiaoyu, and others, and then had Gong Suxin intervene to stop them.
About five minutes later, the horoscope stopped spinning, and as soon as it stopped, Gong Suxin went berserk.
"You brat, I asked you to recount the main cause and effect, but you treat me like a garbage collector, giving me all sorts of trash! And what's with your main cause and effect? Is it necessary to recount everything you did last night? Do you think I care about your nonsense?" Gong Suxin's face was flushed, whether from what she had seen or from being angry with Jiang Yuan, it was hard to tell.
Jiang Yuan pressed his tongue against his companion's and then awkwardly explained, "I was just thinking that this is the most deeply intertwined line of cause and effect, so..."
His most vulnerable point is his relationship with Ning Yanlan, because Ning Yanlan herself had also experienced those things. If he doesn't clean things up completely, it's easy for Zhong Litong to find out.
Before Gong Suxin could answer, he felt unpredictable life patterns appear around him. Gong Suxin immediately said, "Pretend nothing happened. Just stay normal from now on, and I'll take care of the rest!"
Jiang Yuan had no objections at this moment. He closed his eyes and began to heal his wounds while holding the copper coin in his mouth. This was the state he should be in at this moment: seriously injured, fleeing to actively heal.
In the blur, Jiang Yuan saw Gong Suxin activating the Bagua to perform a ritual. Then, two energies, one in the light and one in the dark, began to entangle around him. In order not to expose himself, he had to completely cut off his senses and enter a healing state.
"puff!"
He didn't know how much time had passed when he was awakened by Gong Suxin spitting out a mouthful of hot blood, and the copper coin he was holding in his mouth had shattered into several pieces.
He didn't know if Gong Suxin's boss was lucky or not, but Gong Suxin's coins were definitely unlucky. They broke every few days, and even the coins were crying.
"Clean yourself up, you can get up now!"
Gong Suxin tossed her a handkerchief, then walked out while pressing her temples.
"You're leaving so fast, why don't you tell us what the result was!"
Jiang Yuan spat out the copper coin in his mouth. As for whether he wiped the blood off his face, it didn't matter. Anyway, he hadn't been in a very presentable state since he came out of the encirclement. With his face covered in blood and Gong Suxin's blood, he was already in too much trouble.
