Chapter 577 Master Knows (Update 1)
After discussing with Bai Li, Ruan Qi told Old Davis about the glimmer of hope.
Of course, she did not say that she possessed a magical weapon, but instead made up an excuse, saying that she had a peculiar fate and that a master had once promised her a glimmer of hope.
Old Davis had a deep understanding of Chinese metaphysics and numerology, and he also knew that the mysterious East was home to many talented people. Therefore, he believed Ruan Qi's words without any doubt.
"Since there's a glimmer of hope, then this card might be able to be cracked. However, it will take some time to crack the card and find the hope. Miss Qi Sha, you may have to leave later."
Ruan Qi had nothing to do when she returned home today, so it was no problem for her to stay at Davis Manor for a few more hours.
But she had to tell Xi Jiu.
Ruan Qi felt a headache when she thought about telling Xi Jiu the prediction results.
Xi Jiu was already very worried about her physical and mental state. If he were to be told that she had drawn a very fierce card, how worried would he be?
Ruan Qi didn't want Xi Jiu to worry too much, but things had come to this point and she had to say it even if she didn't want to.
Ruan Qi controlled the wheelchair and left the divination room with Old Davis.
The door opened and Xi Jiu, who had been waiting outside, stood up immediately.
"Are you okay?" He walked up to Ruan Qi, squatted on one knee and looked at her face.
Ruan Qi shook her head: "Jiujiu, we may have to leave later."
Leave later?
Xi Jiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Is there something wrong with the prediction?"
Ruan Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, there is indeed a small problem. It's not serious, just a small problem."
Ruan Qi tried her best to downplay the matter, but Xi Jiu noticed the serious expression on old Davis' face, and her heart sank to the bottom.
He slowly stood up and turned to look at Old Davis: "Old Duke, what is Xiao Qi's prediction?"
Old Davis glanced at Ruan Qi, ignoring her pleading eyes, and said to Xi Jiu truthfully: "Thirteen blood-red stars, there is no doubt that they will die."
Xi Jiu's head seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and it made a buzzing sound instantly.
Seeing his big reaction, Ruan Qi quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Jiujiu, don't be nervous. Mr. Davis is just scaring people. The situation isn't that bad. I still have a glimmer of hope..."
Xi Jiu's head was buzzing and he couldn't hear anything, but he could clearly hear the word "vitality".
He grabbed Ruan Qi's hand and spoke with difficulty, "What vitality? How do I capture it? Can capturing vitality resolve the predicted result?"
Xi Jiu had experienced countless life and death situations, and even though his mind was in a mess at this moment, he still maintained a trace of rationality and accurately grasped the key points.
Old Davis gave him an admiring look and explained, "Theoretically, as long as we can grasp this ray of hope, the situation can be resolved. However, Miss Qi Sha has a peculiar fate, so the final outcome will have to wait until I grasp that ray of hope before we can make a final conclusion."
Xi Jiu had forced himself to calm down by now. He asked in a hoarse voice, "When do we start seizing vitality? What do you need me to do?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just keep Miss Qisha by my side. Life is so elusive, and no one can predict how long it will take to capture her. You two should be prepared to leave later."
Xi Jiu naturally had no objection.
As long as he could help Ruan Qi catch that glimmer of hope, he would be happy even if he had to sleep on the floor in Davis Manor, let alone leave later.
After the few people finished discussing, Ruan Qi followed Old Davis into the divination room.
The heavy door of the divination room slowly closed, blocking out Ruan Qi's figure and Xi Jiu's gaze on her.
Xi Jiu stood silently outside the door, his body straight, but revealing a cold and lonely look.
Time passed by minute by minute, and an hour went by quickly.
Xi Jiu seemed like a tireless stone statue, still standing straight in the same place, not moving a step.
A servant from Davis Manor passed by and came up to him and asked if he needed any drinks or snacks.
Xi Jiu's facial features seemed to be closed, and he had no reaction to the outside world. His eyes were fixed on the door of the divination room.
And so, another two hours passed.
The sun gradually slid towards the west, and the huge old clock in Davis Manor slowly struck sixteen times.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ruan Qi and Old Davis haven't come out yet.
Xi Jiu's blood gradually turned cold, and his eyes, which had hardly blinked, were stained with bloodshot.
The manor's servant came up again and asked him if he wanted to rest.
Xi Jiu still didn't respond, not because he was impolite, but because he really couldn't hear any sound from the outside world at that moment.
Suddenly, a 'ding dong' sound rang out in the quiet air.
Seeing that he didn't move, the servant standing beside him couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, your phone is ringing."
Xi Jiu didn't hear it and still stared at the door of the divination room.
At this time, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang several times in succession.
The servant couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he plucked up the courage to pat him on the arm.
"Sir, your phone is ringing!"
This time, Xi Jiu finally felt the touch from the outside world.
He blinked very slowly, like a thousand-year-old terracotta warrior gradually awakening. He turned his head and looked at the servant.
The servant was startled by the bloodshot eyes. "Sir, your phone keeps ringing."
Just as he finished speaking, the phone in his trouser pocket rang again.
Xi Jiu thanked the servant in a hoarse voice, then took out his cell phone slowly.
There was a series of WeChat messages on the phone screen, and the senders were all Nie Beilou.
Xi Jiu unlocked the screen.
[Mr. Beilou: Xiaoqi has recovered his memory?]
Mr. Beilou: What happened? Please tell me in detail.
Mr. Beilou: Where's he? Why isn't he replying? How is Xiaoqi feeling now?
[Mr. Beilou:?]
[Mr. Beilou: ? ? ]
Mr. Beilou: ???
Nie Beilou sent more than a dozen WeChat messages in a row, and his urgency was obvious.
Xi Jiu looked up at the tightly closed door of the divination room, then lowered his eyes and typed a message and sent it.
[Xi Jiu: Mr. Beilou, Xiao Qi and I are at Davis Manor.]
Nie Beilou must have been staying by his phone the whole time, as he replied very quickly.
[That nobleman who's telling fortunes on the overpass? What are you doing there?]
Xi Jiu hesitated for half a second and told Nie Beilou everything that happened today.
Perhaps because the amount of information was too much, Nie Beilou had not responded yet.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, he called me directly from across the ocean.
Xi Jiu pressed the answer button.
"You said Xiao Qi's fate was peculiar, and that Old Davis couldn't predict what would happen to her in the future?" Nie Beilou said directly on the phone, but his focus was not on the divination results, but on Ruan Qi's fate. "Did Old Davis say this himself?"
