Chapter 44: Some Skills, But Not Much
"I can't sleep." Jiang Yunxi said truthfully. When she woke up, she found herself in the room of Fanghuayuan. Probably because she had slept for a while, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she quietly came to Zhan Beiyuan.
Although he said that she was not allowed to come to his main courtyard.
But tonight she wanted to break in.
She always felt that he was hiding some secret, and she wanted to study it.
Old man Qingxu said that finding the Purple Star might extend her life, but he did not tell her how. She had never done this before. Although there were ways for normal people to extend their lives in the forbidden techniques, those were unorthodox methods.
If I extend my life, others will die or die early.
If she found Ziwei Star and used that forbidden technique to prolong her life, she really couldn't do such a wicked thing.
"You come to disturb me because you can't sleep?" Zhan Beiyuan's handsome face turned even darker. What was going on in her mind? This was the first time in all these years that someone had quietly sat beside his bed.
"I'm the only one familiar with you in the palace, so I can only come to you." Jiang Yunxi said righteously.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
"Do you feel weird?" Jiang Yunxi moved closer to him.
Zhan Beiyuan stepped back subconsciously. Although the room was dark, he could sense her movements. "Are you talking about the power that erupted from me tonight?"
"Well, have you ever done this before?" Jiang Yunxi asked, touching his chin.
"No." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"I guess you have never encountered evil cultivators before. It must be their attacks that awakened the dormant power in your body." Jiang Yunxi said thoughtfully, but from this point it can be judged that he is not an ordinary person.
Otherwise it wouldn’t have such magical power.
"I can't sense anything now." Zhan Beiyuan sensed it carefully again, and there was nothing else except internal force.
"This is a power that carries righteousness. I hope you can fully awaken and possess it." Jiang Yunxi said seriously.
"Why?" Zhan Beiyuan wanted to know the reason.
"Not everyone in the Xuanmen sect is righteous. For example, there's the ancestor who helped Marquis Wenxin, the people who tampered with the Duke of Ying's mansion, those who used dirty tricks to borrow the fate of others, those who used abnormal means to maintain their immortality, and even those who harmed others to prolong their lives, and so on."
"These people have evil thoughts and do all kinds of bad things. You need the righteous power in your body to deal with them." Jiang Yunxi said the reason why she hoped he would fully awaken.
If she is no longer around in the future, he can uphold justice.
Given his character and responsibility, he will definitely do it.
He is strong and can protect Mo Mo Mian Mian, as well as the people he wants to protect.
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan agreed without any hesitation. He was indeed shocked after seeing what Jiang Yunxi did tonight. If he had that power, he could deal with all the evil in the world.
Jiang Yunxi heard his powerful answer and knew that she had chosen the right person. "If I told you that it would be dangerous to fully awaken the power within you, would you still be willing?"
"Do you think I'm afraid?" Zhan Beiyuan said in an arrogant tone. There was no such word as fear in his world.
"You are the God of War, so you definitely won't be afraid. Next time you meet a powerful evil cultivator, you can fight with them. This way you can completely awaken the righteous power in your body." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile. This is the fastest way.
Zhan Beiyuan thought of the evil cultivator in the dry well. He did feel a strong sense of oppression at that time. "Okay."
"Go to sleep." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"You're not leaving?"
"I'll leave when you fall asleep."
"How can I sleep with you here?" Zhan Beiyuan said in a deep voice with a tense face. Although the room was dark, he inexplicably felt that her eyes were particularly bright. She looked at him motionlessly, as if she was looking at a piece of fat meat.
"Oh." Jiang Yunxi said and stood up to leave.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The next day.
Jiang Yunxi was a little dumbfounded when she saw the breakfast on the table. Red bean porridge, red dates and eggs, fermented rice and eggs, pork liver porridge, lean meat porridge, longan, red dates and glutinous rice porridge, all of which were for replenishing qi and blood.
In fact, after waking up from a good sleep, her energy and spirit had recovered well, and she was no longer as weak as last night.
But you still have to eat the blood-enriching meals.
After breakfast, Jiang Yunxi planned to go to the street. Now she had another thing in her mind, which was the missing girls in Futianfang. She wondered whether the Jingzhao Yinfu had posted the portraits of the girls.
The disappearance of the little girl every month is definitely not just a simple disappearance.
After what happened in the dry well of the Xie family, she was afraid that someone would use these little girls to do something cruel and against the will of heaven.
Jiang Yunxi went directly to the main street, where her fortune-telling stall happened to be. She first went to the place where notices were usually posted and saw many people watching.
"What's going on in Futianfang? A little girl disappears every month. It's obvious it's a premeditated crime."
"The children are so young, and we don't even know if the ones who were abducted are still alive. It's so pitiful."
"What a sin! Why are you bullying young children? They are orphans without parents, which is already pitiful enough."
"I hope Jingzhao Yinfu can find them sooner, alas..."
Seeing that the portraits of the five little girls had been posted and the news had spread, Jiang Yunxi went to her fortune-telling stall. When she arrived, there were already several people waiting there. She looked at them and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
One look at their faces revealed they were not friendly.
Before going out in the morning, she calculated for herself that someone was looking for trouble today, and it seemed that these people were the ones.
As usual, Jiang Yunxi dragged the table to the side of the road, used the key to open the cabinet and took out the fortune-telling sign. After everything was ready, those people came over.
"I heard that you are very accurate in calculations. Please help me calculate today." A middle-aged man in his forties sat down at the table.
Jiang Yunxi stared at him, looking at him with a half-smile, "You're a fortune teller yourself, so why do you still want me to tell you? Do you think you're not as good as me? Or are you looking for trouble?"
Feng Sheng was stunned. How did she know he was a fortune teller? He didn't usually tell fortunes on this street, and he was sure they had never met before. "I don't know what you're talking about. Do you know how to tell fortunes?"
Jiang Yunxi didn't reply, but looked at the others behind him. "You guys are all fortune tellers in Beijing. You have some skills, but not much. You only know a little bit. You can cheat people out of a little money, but you can't make a lot of money."
Feng Sheng and others: "..."
"I guess in the past only passers-by came to you for fortune-telling, and there were very few repeat customers. Rich families would not ask you to tell fortunes, otherwise you would not tell fortunes on the street. It is because you are lazy and don't want to work that you set up a fortune-telling stall to make easy money." Jiang Yunxi continued.
Feng Sheng and others: "..."
Shocked!
How could she know so clearly!
They used to do heavy work that was dirty, hard and tiring. When they saw those wealthy families hiring fortune tellers and paying them a lot of money every time, they were envious, so they started to make plans and bought some books on fortune telling.
After learning some, I felt that I understood it, so I started doing this business.
It’s true, although I’m not rich, it’s much better than doing heavy work.
