Chapter 638: Recover Memory as Soon as Possible (Part 2)
"Yes, but not entirely," Zhuge Lang replied. "Transferring merit to ordinary people will only make their lives smooth, but it won't bring them great opportunities. The reason you encountered a great opportunity is not only because of your master, but more importantly, because you are also a person of merit. The merit of the two of you has undergone a chemical reaction in you, attracting opportunities from heaven and earth."
Ruan Qi always thought that Bai Li hitting her head more than a year ago was just a random probability.
Little did they know that the divine weapon could not hit anyone's head.
Bai Li is a divine artifact born from heaven and earth, and all his destiny will conform to the aura of heaven and earth.
He could sense the good fortune of heaven and earth, and would also be attracted by it. That was why he fell from the sky and hit Ruan Qi on the head with precision more than a year ago.
All this is not a coincidence, but a sign of fate.
The beginning of this fate was when Nie Beilou transferred his own merits to Ruan Qi.
After figuring out the whole story, Old Master Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Nie loves his disciple dearly! Zhuge, since Xiao Qi has merit, can the crisis of the thirteen blood-colored stars be resolved with merit?"
Zhuge Lang shook his head.
"She's already survived one near-death crisis, and her merits have long since transformed into opportunities. She can't avert a second crisis. Furthermore, she's now considered dead. Fate and merits belong to the living; they have no effect on the dead."
"Then where can she find hope for survival?" asked Mr. Xi.
Zhuge Lang: "The dead will naturally seek life in the dead."
"On a dead body?" Old Master Xi's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me? How can there be life in a dead body? Did you make a mistake in your calculations?"
Zhuge Lang glanced at him calmly and said, "It took me half a month to figure out this result before I came here. Are you questioning my professional ability?"
Mr. Xi choked when asked.
"...That's not what I meant." He muttered softly, "It's just that trying to find life in a dead person is a bit ridiculous. We can't just dig up their graves."
Zhuge Lang: "I only asked you to find a way to survive, not to dig a grave."
"How can we know whether the dead still have life if we don't dig the grave?" Mr. Xi asked back.
Zhuge Lang didn't want to talk to an old man who didn't understand him. He turned to look at Ruan Qi and said, "In your past, have you ever had a deep entanglement with a deceased person?"
"...getting entangled with a dead person?" Ruan Qi frowned, and the first person that came to mind was the icy brother from ten years ago.
In her fragmented memories, Brother Iceberg was eventually thrown into the lake.
But if the Iceberg Brother is Xi Jiu, then he escaped death and survived safely.
But what if he is not Xi Jiu?
Then will Brother Iceberg still be alive?
Ruan Qi's memory was patchy, and she couldn't recall the past clearly. She turned to look at Xi Jiu and asked tentatively, "Jiujiu, do you think the iceberg brother from back then is still alive?"
Xi Jiu's dark eyes flashed slightly.
He looked at the little girl. There was caution and a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for him to tell the truth.
A trace of guilt emerged in Xi Jiu's heart.
To prevent Ruan Qi from getting hurt again, he didn't dare reveal the Iceberg Brother's true identity. Otherwise, with the girl's intelligence, she would definitely follow the clues and find out that he had been in a vegetative state for two years.
Ruan Qi's mental state had always been unstable. No one could guarantee that she wouldn't suffer a mental breakdown after learning that he had been in a vegetative state.
Xi Jiu could only keep it a secret.
But now Brother Bingshan’s affairs involve Ruan Qi’s life.
Brother Bingshan wasn't dead, so there was no chance of survival for him. To prevent Ruan Qi from wasting time on wrong guesses, Xi Jiu hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Auspicious people will be blessed by heaven. He will survive."
Ruan Qi's eyes flashed.
Xi Jiu's words made her more certain about her brother's identity.
The Iceberg Brother is most likely Xi Jiu.
Since it is Xi Jiu, then the Iceberg Brother is not a dead person, and he does not have her life force in him.
Who could be the dead person that brought her life?
Ruan Qi thought for a while, and then thought of someone else - her grandmother Liu Qiuyu.
But soon, Zhuge Lang rejected this candidate.
"You weren't even born when your grandmother passed away. The people entangled with her were your parents, and you were only tied to her by blood, which wasn't a very deep entanglement. The deceased person who brought you life must have been someone you had some connection with. Think carefully again, what incident in your past caused you to have a death entanglement with someone?"
Ruan Qi was stumped by Zhuge Lang's question.
She had lived for only twenty years, most of which she had spent in Qingyun Village. The only two events that had affected her life or death were Yang Liu's near miscarriage and the incident ten years prior.
Yang Liu's near miscarriage did not involve a death.
And what happened ten years ago...
Ruan Qi's brows knitted into small knots, and she said to Zhuge Lang apologetically, "Mr. Zhuge, I lost some of my memories ten years ago. I can't remember many people and many things."
Zhuge Lang nodded in understanding.
"According to your fate, you did indeed suffer a great calamity at the age of nine. This calamity is filled with bloody evil energy and will entangle you for many years. Girl, if you really can't remember the deceased person who is deeply entangled with you, then I suggest that you recover your memory as soon as possible."
"Perhaps the dead person with a life force is in your missing memories."
The sun gradually moved from the east to the top of the head. After completing his task, Zhuge Lang said goodbye and left.
The study was empty. Ruan Qi sat by the window, supporting her cheek with her right hand.
She was thinking about Zhuge Lang's words.
The door of the study was suddenly opened.
The sound of slow footsteps came closer and closer, and a cool crystal glass was gently placed against Ruan Qi's face.
Ruan Qi came back to her senses, turned her head, and saw the man standing behind her.
"Jiujiu."
Xi Jiu hummed. He pulled up a chair and sat down, then handed the crystal glass to the girl. "Yogurt ice cream, Lao Chen just made it."
Ruan Qi looked at the melted ice cream, and her heavy mood lightened a lot.
She pinched the spoon and took a bite, then asked Xi Jiu, "Where's Grandpa Xi?"
"After sending Mr. Zhuge off, he went to the kitchen." Xi Jiu replied, "He asked Chef Chen to add a few more dishes for you."
Ruan Qi's eyebrows curved unconsciously.
"How can I eat that much? Grandpa Xi, are you trying to feed me into a fat pig?"
Xi Jiu rubbed her head and said in a low, gentle voice, "It's also good to feed them into small fat pigs. They are white and tender, and taste better."
The man drove away as soon as he disagreed with something.
Ruan Qi blushed and said fiercely, "It's broad daylight, can you please be serious?"
"Maybe not." Xi Jiu chuckled and pinched her cheek. "The little fat pig is so cute, what if I can't control myself?"

Then eat it.
