Chapter 578 Xi Jiu's Collapse (Part 2)
Xi Jiu felt that Nie Beilou's focus was a little strange.
When a normal person hears this news, wouldn’t the first reaction be to worry about whether Ruan Qi will die?
Why did Nie Beilou become concerned about her fate?
Xi Jiu felt something was strange, but he still answered the other party's question truthfully.
"Yes. Old Davis said Xiao Qi's fate is very strange. He can only predict crises, but can't predict what will happen to her in the future." Xi Jiu paused and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Beilou, is there anything wrong with Xiao Qi's fate?"
Any questions?
This is a big problem!
Nie Beilou has traveled extensively for decades and has met as many talented people and people from all walks of life as old Davis.
Many of the people he knew were masters of numerology and metaphysics.
All these masters were forced by Nie Beilou to tell Ruan Qi's fortune.
Of course, Nie Beilou did this not because he was dependent on numerology and metaphysics.
But it was because of Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu.
Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu's identities and backgrounds are too complicated. Since Ruan Qi was born, Nie Beilou has been worried that she would be implicated by her parents' karma.
He finally got a delicate and gentle female apprentice, and he couldn't let her get into danger.
So, Nie Beilou secretly asked his friends to help Ruan Qi calculate her fortune several times without the knowledge of the Ruan family.
And the results of fortune-telling are the same -
A turbulent childhood can damage even the most imperfect of minds. Before one's twentieth birthday, there's a death crisis. If one can weather it successfully, life will be smooth; if not, one will die young.
This hexagram was not a good sign. Nie Beilou was very angry about this matter and didn't even dare to tell Ruan's parents.
To prevent the divination from coming true, Nie Beilou had been extremely strict with Ruan Qi's schoolwork since she was a child. He carefully protected her until she was nine years old. Who knew that during a trip to the fishing village in Shanghu City, Ruan Qi would be in trouble.
She met Jiang Chunian.
The first eight words in the hexagram were verified - a turbulent childhood, and excessive wisdom will lead to harm.
Since then, Nie Beilou has felt even more uneasy.
If what the hexagram said was true, then Ruan Qi would die before his twentieth birthday.
Nie Beilou raised Ruan Qi with great trepidation until she was nineteen, when she took the initiative to ask to go to the imperial capital. Nie Beilou had no reason to object and could only watch the little girl go north alone.
During Ruan Qi's year in the capital, Nie Beilou couldn't sleep soundly. After a year of anxious waiting, Ruan Qi finally celebrated her twentieth birthday safely.
The death disaster in the hexagram did not appear.
Nie Beilou breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could fully relax, Old Davis's divination dealt him a heavy blow.
Ruan Qi actually divined thirteen blood-red stars!
How is this possible? !
"Theoretically speaking, Xiao Qi has already survived the brink of death before turning twenty, so everything should be smooth sailing after that."
Nie Beilou told Xi Jiu about his fortune-telling for Ruan Qi, "My friends are all masters of numerology and metaphysics. Their divinations can't be wrong. Xiao Qi shouldn't have a unique fate."
No one knows Ruan Qi's fate better than Nie Beilou.
She doesn't have a unique fate, so she shouldn't be unable to predict the future.
Xi Jiu's handsome brows furrowed as he listened to Nie Beilou's words. "If Xiao Qi doesn't have a unique fate, then what's with Old Davis's divination?"
As a famous divination genius in the Davis family, old Davis's abilities are obvious to all.
His divination would not be wrong, but he certainly could not see Ruan Qi's future.
"There's something wrong with this." Nie Beilou's voice was heavy. "I've also studied the mystical art of numerology over the years. As far as I know, there's only one kind of person in this world who can't predict the future."
Xi Jiu: "Who is it?"
Nie Beilou was silent for a moment on the phone before he slowly spoke: "...a dead person."
Xi Jiu's pupils suddenly constricted.
"That's impossible!" He retorted subconsciously, not caring that Nie Beilou was his elder, and said coldly, "Xiao Qi is alive and well, how could he be dead! Mr. Beilou, there are some things you can't say casually!"
Nie Beilou also knew that what he said was somewhat provocative.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "According to Xiao Qi's original destiny, she would face a fatal disaster before her twentieth birthday. But that disaster has not occurred. Xi family boy, have you ever thought about why?"
why is that?
Xi Jiu's anger suddenly froze, and even his breathing stopped.
Yes, if what those fortune-telling masters predicted was true, then why didn’t Ruan Qi’s death before he turned twenty years old occur?
Or...it has already appeared, but none of them know about it.
Death, dead people, a suddenly unique fate... all these factors came together, and Xi Jiu suddenly had a guess that made him collapse.
Nie Beilou had obviously thought of this guess.
"A person's fate cannot change suddenly," Nie Beilou said in a hoarse voice, "and it is impossible for a living person to not predict the future. Unless..."
Unless, this person is already dead, but for some reason comes back to life.
…
The phone became dead silent.
Xi Jiu's hand gripped the phone so hard that it turned blue.
He felt as if the blood in his body had frozen, and the whole world was spinning in the loud ringing in his ears.
There is a disaster of death before the age of twenty.
If you don't make it across, you will die.
A sudden change in fate, an unpredictable future...
When all the clues were connected, a cruel and devastating truth was laid before Xi Jiu—
Ruan Qi did not survive the crisis of death before the age of twenty.
She had died once before, alone, unbeknownst to any of them.
She didn't tell anyone, but just silently concealed the truth, and then resurrected by some chance.
So, her fate changed.
Therefore, she cannot predict the future.
Because from a numerological point of view, she is a dead person.
dead.
What a terrible word.
But now it is used on Ruan Qi.
Xi Jiu suddenly felt as if there was a huge hole in his heart, blood was gushing out, and the cold wind rushed in unscrupulously, making it so cold that even breathing became chill.
Such a soft little girl, the treasure he wanted to protect in his heart, died when no one knew...
Did it hurt when she died?
Was there anyone with her? Did those people save her?
Where was he at that time?
Why was he unaware of the little girl's death?
Xi Jiu's heart suddenly ached badly.
He gripped his phone tightly, his left hand clutching his chest, his body leaning weakly against the wall. His trachea was like a leaking bellows, making an unpleasant hissing sound.
Nie Beilou on the other end of the phone noticed that Xi Jiu's breathing rate was abnormal.
He quickly shouted, "Xi family boy! Calm down! Regardless of whether Xiao Qi is dead according to fate, she is standing in front of us alive! She is still alive!"
She is still alive.
These four words, like the only light in the darkness, illuminate Xi Jiu's collapsing world.
The torn heart suddenly stopped bleeding, and the frozen blood began to flow again.
Xi Jiu seemed like a thousand-year-old terracotta warrior injected with vitality, and the collapsed world was rebuilt with steel and iron bones.
