☆, Chapter 208 Skill Malfunction
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran quickly clicked to check, and found that all the comments were negative, complaining that the calculations were inaccurate.
She was worried it was a malicious negative review, so she specifically checked the IP address and order details for each location.
After confirming that he had personally performed the divination, his gaze darkened, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
After hastily recalculating the orders with negative reviews, I discovered that the results were completely different.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred. Jiang Ran's expression hardened as she suddenly realized that her divination abilities were beginning to weaken.
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed suddenly, and a hint of anxiety flashed across his face.
I hurriedly accepted an order and started testing, but I found that I could not calculate the cause and effect. Some of the missing person orders were still off-center even with the help of a compass.
Realizing she had made a mistake, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes, and she murmured, "How could this be?!"
As a direct descendant of the metaphysical school, she could even see the past and the future, so how come she can't even do the most basic divination and celestial observation now?!
Jiang Ran's gaze sharpened, and she fell into deep thought.
After carefully reviewing the negative reviews, Jiang Ran noticed that they started appearing gradually after she was injured. Upon noticing this detail, Jiang Ran lowered her eyes to look at her injuries, and an unrealistic idea vaguely flashed through her mind.
Normally, even without spiritual energy to replenish her strength, her injuries would heal quickly, let alone swelling caused by a simple sprain. But now, there is no change, and there is not even a sign of improvement.
unless……
Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat, unless it was a side effect of the repeated injuries...
Just as she was lost in thought, a sudden knocking sounded at the door. Jiang Ran snapped out of her daze and quickly suppressed her anxious expression.
He said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Si Youlin pushed open the door and walked slowly to her, asking, "Did your uncle send someone to pick up the 'thing'?"
After all, Jiang Ran's expertise in metaphysics was still a secret to the outside world, and Si Youlin was worried that others might overhear and become suspicious, so he spoke very cryptically.
Jiang Ran understood instantly, but when she thought of the things she had just tried to calculate but failed, her eyes darkened, and she replied, "Not for now."
"Hmm?" A look of surprise flashed in Si Youlin's eyes, and he looked puzzled: "Didn't you just deal with it yesterday?"
Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly and casually made up an excuse, replying, "There was a slight mishap in the middle..."
"Alright." Si Youlin didn't think much of it, nodded slowly, and turned to leave to deliver the message.
Watching his departing figure, Jiang Ran's eyes sharpened, and a sinister glint flashed across her face.
The incident happened so suddenly that even she was caught off guard.
He secretly made up his mind to find out the truth about this bizarre incident!
Then he went straight to the bed, sat cross-legged, and performed the Zi-Wu Mudra, feeling the spiritual energy flowing through his body. The spiritual energy was much thinner than usual.
The spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and bones, eventually converging in his dantian, and a strange feeling instantly spread throughout his body.
"What's going on?!"
Sensing the changes within her body, Jiang Ran abruptly opened her eyes, forcefully suppressing the strange sensation. Her brows furrowed, and her expression showed displeasure.
Aside from the time she saved Si Yanxiao and cast a blood curse, this was the first time her spiritual energy had gone out of control, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
Then he closed his eyes again and released his divine sense to explore the surroundings. He saw that the place on the back mountain that used to have a slight yin energy was now shrouded in mist and nothing could be seen.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran naturally didn't think that the Yin energy had disappeared for no reason. She suddenly realized that the problem was far from what it seemed on the surface. In addition to being unable to make divinations, even her "Heavenly Eye" was gradually malfunctioning and being affected.
In the metaphysical school, very few people can cultivate the Heavenly Eye, so she is probably the first one to appear and then suddenly lose it since the beginning of time.
Even the information is nowhere to be found.
His face darkened, and a sense of unease settled in his heart.
Then a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he limped to Si Zuochen's room, only to find that the room was empty.
Just then, the butler walked towards her, and their eyes met. He quickly asked, "Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Ran pointed to the room and asked in confusion, "Where's A-Chen?"
Upon hearing this, the butler replied in a low voice, "The young master left home just as dawn broke, and I'm not quite sure where he went."
After hearing this, Jiang Ran nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then turned and left.
Her eyes were full of doubt. Si Zuochen had been leaving early and returning late lately. What was he doing?
On the other side, Si Zuochen left early in the morning and took a taxi to the hospital without alerting anyone.
In the early hours of the morning, a private investigator suddenly sent a message saying that he had found out Bai Zhuwei's whereabouts. It turned out that she had been found out because she registered at the hospital after being injured.
Si Zuochen looked at the hospital's main entrance, his brows furrowed, his eyes suddenly sharpening, and then he strode forward.
At this time, Si Yanxiao was still busy with official business at the company and had no time to spare.
The board meeting was held again, but unlike before, those who had previously voted against the meeting now seemed to have a more aggressive look on their faces.
One of them spoke up and questioned, "Because of the time difference overseas, news just came from China last night that most of the overseas markets have fallen, and the Si family is also in dire straits."
"I told you to withdraw before, but you wouldn't. Now do you know how much your overseas businesses have lost?!"
As she spoke, her words were filled with anger, and her eyes held a hint of resentment as she looked at Si Yanxiao.
Si Yanxiao slightly bent his fingers and tapped them lightly on the table, his lips slightly pursed, as if he was deep in thought.
Seeing that he was clearly shifting all the blame onto them, the other person's expression turned cold, and their tone became somewhat displeased: "What do you mean? Are you trying to shirk responsibility now?"
"The situation overseas is always changing, who could have imagined it would turn out like this?!"
"Weren't you hesitant before? Now you're starting to investigate."
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. Seeing this, Gu Nan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Since Si Yanxiao remained silent, she had no choice but to try and smooth things over.
"What's all the commotion about? Shouldn't we be thinking of a solution right now?"
What's the point of passing the buck back and forth?
Gu Nan had served as acting president for six years, so his words carried a certain degree of authority.
The voices of the two sides that were arguing just moments ago suddenly became low, though they still occasionally exchanged a few words.
Si Yanxiao felt a surge of annoyance as he listened to their argument. His brows furrowed, and he said coldly, "Shut up, both of you!"
Upon hearing him speak, everyone fell silent and looked up at him.
Si Yanxiao is different from Gu Nan. Gu Nan usually considers people's feelings a little, so they are used to being a little more indulgent and bargaining.
But Si Yanxiao was known for his ruthless methods, and seeing his displeasure, no one dared to provoke him at this time.
Gu Nan coldly observed their reactions, feeling a strange sense of mockery, and secretly scoffed inwardly.
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone. Those who had been arguing just moments before suddenly felt a lack of confidence and silently lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Si Yanxiao's lips curled into a sneer, and then he said in a cold voice, "Chen Fei had already predicted the changes overseas a few days ago, and we have already discussed and come up with a strategy to deal with them."
He paused slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "I really don't know if you're truly concerned about the development of the Si Corporation, or if there's something else going on..."
Si Yanxiao spoke slowly, his voice low, yet it carried an invisible but intimidating force, instantly lowering the air pressure to freezing point.
The few people who had been jumping around earlier didn't dare to reply and all lowered their heads.
Si Yanxiao glanced at them coldly, then scoffed, "If you have any disloyal intentions, then I advise you to think twice!"
Having said that, he ignored their ugly expressions and got up to leave.
Only after he left the conference room did the group of people turn to Gu Nan for help, asking in unison, "Assistant Gu, what's wrong with President Si...?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan felt utterly disdainful of their actions, but showed no sign of it on her face. She replied in a deep voice, "It's obvious what you all are thinking, so President Si knows perfectly well. Therefore, no one is harboring any ulterior motives and hoping to scheme against you." After saying this, she nodded slightly, got up, and walked towards the door.
He quickly caught up with Si Yanxiao, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of disdain on his face: "Those old foxes, they still expect to get information from me."
