The two sat side by side under the starry sky, quietly admiring the stars for a long time.

Above the sky, thousands of stars travel across light years to reach the earth, rippling a soft glow in the night sky.

Talking about the evening stars I have read in a book that when people on the ground try to catch the starlight with their naked eyes, perhaps the star that illuminates everything has already disappeared in the universe, and its light has just fallen on the earth. If people do not take the initiative to investigate, no one will know the situation of the stars.

Fortunately, he already knew, so it was not too late.

The night deepened and the woods grew slightly cooler.

Chu Qianli sneezed subconsciously and almost flew out. She touched her nose again.

Tan Muxing said gently: "Let's go back, it's getting late."

"You don't want to watch it anymore?" Chu Qianli asked hesitantly, "You won't be able to watch it if you go back to the city."

"I took photos and my eyes remember it, so I won't forget it." Tan Muxing smiled, "I'm very happy today and I'm also happy to be able to come to the village."

Chu Qianli heard his sincere tone, she was quiet for a few seconds, and said frankly: "I am also very happy."

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Really?"

"Well, this is probably the happiest day since Grandpa passed away." Chu Qianli stretched her back, stood up, and patted her clothes. "I haven't talked about this with anyone in a calm manner for a long time."

She had only been able to discuss the matter with her grandfather because other people would not be able to accept it and it would only cause unnecessary pain.

But they all study numerology, so they can understand this.

She often thinks about herself, not just life or death, but also the meaning of going through it all.

Chu Qianli smiled proudly and said, "I really wasn't wrong. You are really amazing, even if you don't admit it."

Tan Muxing said awkwardly: "What's so great about this? I just know it."

Chu Qianli shook her head: "It's also very powerful to persist in not believing, at least for me."

The two of them walked back along the path and fell asleep after a brief rest.

The aftereffects of their stargazing were that they were unable to get up the next day and slept groggily until noon.

At home, Wang Ping placed a table full of food, which made the two people who were eating a little confused and they had no idea where to start.

Chu Qianli suggested weakly: "Pingping, we eat like this every day, isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

Chu Qianli's family in the city had good food, but it wasn't all meat and fish. Her parents were particular about a balanced diet, so Aunt Li's cooking was light.

Tan Muxing was not the kind of person who overeats, and his body shape had nothing to do with his appetite. However, Wang Ping always felt that he was not full.

"Those dishes can't be left here. How can I finish them after you two leave?" Wang Ping frowned. "The day you first came, you were clamoring for chicken, and now you're complaining that there are too many dishes. I've said everything to you!?"

Chu Qianli: "...No, we are not your pets, so you can't feed us like this, right?"

"Your classmates seem to be hungry and thin. Don't let them go home and be told that they were abused in the village."

Tan Muxing quickly shook her head: "No, no, I have never lost weight due to hunger."

Chu Qianli looked up and down at her deskmate. She touched her chin and asked hesitantly, "It seems so?"

Tan Muxing: “Huh?”

Wang Ping nodded in agreement: "I think so too. I feel like I have lost weight in a week."

Chu Qianli worried, "I hope they won't become like polar bears after global warming, starving and skinny, lying pitifully on the ice."

Tan Muxing: "...How is that possible?"

Chu Qianli even searched for pictures online and showed Wang Ping pictures of thin polar bears. The polar bears in the pictures looked emaciated and lifeless due to hunger.

Wang Ping: "Tsk tsk, how miserable."

"These are all the consequences of destroying the environment." Chu Qianli began to frantically pick vegetables for Tan Muxing and advised, "Eat more, eat more, and store up energy before hibernation."

Tan Muxing looked subtle and reminded: "I don't hibernate, nor do I live in the warming Arctic..."

Wang Ping saw through Chu Qianli's trick and said calmly, "Don't think that you don't have to eat just because he ate it. I decided that each person gets a piece of meat."

Chu Qianli said distressedly: "...I can't eat it."

"Eat slowly, slowly." Wang Ping used the traditional golden phrase of the breeder, "You know you can't eat before you even eat?"

After hearing this, Tan Muxing thought that some people are indeed suitable for breeding work, no matter what kind of animals they raise.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing did not stay in the village for too long. They excitedly went to the village chief Lao Li to receive their prizes, took a walk around Yinlong Mountain, and then decided to buy tickets back to the imperial capital.

Chu Qianli originally planned to leave some money for Wang Ping, but was politely declined by the other party, saying that there was not much expenses in the village.

"Okay, I think it's good the way it is now. I have a place to live, I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I can make money. I don't need more." Wang Ping sighed, "Anyway, there will be troubles anyway, so just be content."

Chu Qianli sighed: "Pingping is different now."

"After dealing with liars like you for a long time, I start to think it's the same."

Wang Ping lives next door to Chu Qianli and Chu Yilie. She has heard too many stories about other people and witnessed the joys and sorrows of the world, and somehow she figured it out. Even Chu Qianli, who is good at calculating, is still helping people in a human way. In the final analysis, he is still a human being.

As a human being, you have to rely on yourself and cannot rely on others.

Chu Qianli and Wang Ping agreed to contact each other after returning to the city, so she went back to the house with Tan Muxing to pack her luggage.

Inside the house, Chu Qianli looked at the old things in the huge box and felt troubled. She scratched her head and said hesitantly, "What should I take?"

Tan Muxing was sorting out his thoughts: "You must bring the compass. See if you need anything else. If it doesn't work, I'll send it back."

"Actually, I've read most of these books. Many of the Taoist stuff was bought by my grandfather when he came to the village as a Feng Shui master. He couldn't keep money, so he probably doesn't have any valuables..." Chu Qianli rummaged through the box and spread all kinds of old books on the ground.

Tan Muxing glanced at the ancient Ziwei books at his feet. He picked up one of them at random, opened it and saw the word "Hao". He asked, "Aren't you taking these Ziwei books with you?"

"No need to bring them. They are from a long time ago. Grandpa said they are no longer up to date." Chu Qianli said casually, "We sorted out the useful ones and piled the useless ones here."

Zi Wei Dou Shu defines the stars as immutable coordinate axes, but even stars move in this world, so some data from a hundred years ago is not applicable now, and astrology is also developing.

After Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing packed up their things, they said goodbye to Wang Ping at the village entrance and set off back to the imperial capital.

A week was neither long nor short. When Chu Qianli returned home, He Shichen was still in training and had not returned yet.

At the dinner table, Chu Qianli faced her parents and shook her head with regret: "My brother is so unlucky. I went out for a walk and he didn't even stay at home to hide away."

Yu Xin asked with concern: "How is the village?"

"Just like before, I won a prize." Chu Qianli boasted, "I'll show it to Mom and Dad later."

He Zhenghe: "Aren't you going out to play with your classmates? Why did you win a prize?"

"We had a lot of fun and won a lot of awards, the best of both worlds." Chu Qianli said happily, "Maybe it's more points than my brother would get from participating in the training camp. If he knew about this, he would be so mad."

He Shichen's participation in the summer training camp will earn him extra points, which will be recorded in the school's files. Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing also made significant contributions by helping to report over-exploitation, so the village chief applied for commendation for them.

Tan Muxing did some research and found out that the high school they attend recognizes this award as extra points, and maybe it can be used as a reference when applying to college.

Chu Qianli had already thought of how to show off to He Shichen, but the training on the banknote printing machine had not yet ended.

On the other hand, He Shichen encountered some minor problems during the training camp outside Beijing. He lived in the dormitory with the teachers and students of the training camp, but recently a master Liu came to his house inexplicably.

He Shichen originally didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but when the other party mentioned Chu Qianli, he naturally became suspicious.

In the restaurant's private room, He Shichen listened to Master Liu's explanation of the whole story. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Chu Yilie? I don't know him."

Liu Kaijia was busy asking, "Logically, he should be your uncle. Don't you have any impression of him at all?"

He Shichen said calmly: "Since you were able to find me, you should know something. I don't understand any of this nonsense."

"Ziwei is not a fool..." Liu Kaijia wanted to refute unhappily, but he thought about how useful He Shichen was, so he suppressed his temper and said patiently, "Have you ever seen her in contact with suspicious people?"

"Do you think so?" He Shichen pulled the corner of his mouth, and said sarcastically, "I'm not an old mother. How can I have the time to stare at her every day? I didn't even know that she had met you."

"..." Liu Kaijia found that today's high school students are so J, he couldn't control his fist and got hard.

Liu Kaijia used the excuse of going to the bathroom to discuss with his master and decide on the next plan.

He Shichen watched Liu Kaijia leave. He casually touched the screen of his phone to make sure it was still recording, then turned it off again.

Liu Kaijia claimed to be the direct disciple of the 37th generation master of Haomen, saying that their sect specialized in studying Ziwei Doushu and had lost a precious secret compass many years ago. A disciple named Chu Yilie betrayed his master and took away the master's token, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Most of Chu Yilie's relatives are no longer alive, and He Shichen is the only descendant they have found.

Liu Kaijia described the incident vividly, but He Shichen listened with a cold expression.

He Shichen has no interest in weird stories full of underworld elements, and even has no feelings for his nominal uncle Chu Yilie.

After listening to the whole incident, he raised two questions: one is what is Ziwei Doushu; the other is that if the leader's token can be taken away, how can the current leader act as the leader? There is a logical loophole.

Liu Kaijia blushed: "The compass is just a token of trust, it doesn't decide who the leader is!"

He Shichen asked back: "Then what are you looking for? Just make a new one."

"No, how can something passed down from the sect be changed just like that?"

"Whatever, you fortune tellers are all up to your own ideas and never trust your words." He Shichen sneered, "You keep bringing in all these Hun Tian instruments in the house, but I've never seen you actually use them."

Liu Kaijia: “…” Why do I always feel that you have an inexplicable hostility towards those who practice metaphysics?

Liu Kaijia had a very unpleasant communication with He Shichen. He always felt that the other party looked at him as if he was a mentally retarded person. Anyway, there was a kind of resentment and hatred emanating from him, and it seemed that talking about these things was unlucky.

In a corner, Liu Kaijia talked to his master Wan Ketan on the phone, telling him about He Shichen's impatient attitude throughout.

"Master, this little brat is too rude. You don't even know how he evaluates Ziwei!" Liu Kaijia has a hot temper. He is always called Master whenever he goes out. He has never seen He Shichen treat him so disrespectfully.

The old man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's normal. He probably hasn't met Chu Yilie before. He has always been a pampered young master, but suddenly he was turned into a fake by that little girl. Anyone would feel uncomfortable and hate these people."

"If he didn't have this temper, he would be useless. It's good for us if he doesn't treat that little girl well." Wan Ketan thought, "Ask him if he knows the girl's fortune. It would be best to bring him to our side and find a way to get the compass."

Liu Kaijia agreed to the matter. He returned to the private room and organized the words to convey to He Shichen.

"Why should I do this?" He Shichen frowned and said, "This is of no benefit to me. Even if I am not a member of the He family, my last name is still He. Why should I cause myself trouble?"

"Of course it's not for nothing. We are willing to pay you." Liu Kaijia gestured with the motion of cutting vegetables and hinted with a smile, "If you knew the girl's birth date, maybe we could help you solve some problems."

He Shichen's eyes were slightly deep, with an undercurrent surging: "Really?"

"Of course, you must have suffered from her before. You don't think she's the only one who can predict the future, right?"

He Shichen sneered: "This is quite interesting, but unfortunately I don't know her fortune. She is very wary of me."

"That's right..." Liu Kaijia looked regretful and asked tentatively, "What about the compass?"

"I need to think about this matter. It depends on whether the reward is worth it." He Shichen glanced at the calendar casually, "Let's meet in two days. Bring your offer. I don't do business at a loss."

"...Okay." Liu Kaijia didn't expect He Shichen to be so thoughtful. He said with mixed feelings, "You don't look like a high school student at all."

He Shichen doesn't look like a student at school at all. He is calm and calculating, and only talks about benefits in a simple and straightforward manner.

He Shichen mocked, "If everyone is as stupid as her, how can we live like this?"

Liu Kaijia felt relieved after hearing this. He Shichen would still live in the He family, so it was normal for him to be more concerned, but it was strange for him to agree immediately.

The two agreed on the next time they would meet, then said goodbye at the door of the restaurant and each prepared their own follow-up matters.

He Shichen turned off the recording function on his phone and called home to inquire about their situation.

"She's back already?" He Shichen said, "Mom, you should keep an eye on her while she does her homework, and don't let her run out all the time."

"How am I? I'm doing fine here. Nothing's wrong. I'll be back in two days."

Not long after, He Shichen and Liu Kaijia met again, and Liu Kaijia came with a quotation and even a detailed contract. Because the Luopan transaction was a shameful thing, the wording of the contract was adjusted, but the price did not change.

He Shichen glanced at the terms and conditions and commented: "Not a bad price."

"That……"

"Okay." He Shichen put the contract away and nodded calmly, "I understand."

When Liu Kaijia saw that He Shichen was moved by money, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized that this person only cared about profit.

The two of them hit it off immediately and started talking about the shape of the compass. Then the dust settled and they went out after a brief greeting.

Today's location was decided by He Shichen, but it was a difficult road to get a taxi. At the corner of the street, the car that came to pick up He Shichen had already arrived, but Liu Kai's family had not yet called a car.

"Master, do you want to take a ride as well?" He Shichen said with a smile, "Otherwise I'll give you a ride."

Liu Kaijia always felt that He Shichen spoke in a sarcastic and weird tone. It might be that he did not have a good impression of those who were involved in metaphysics. However, the two of them still had to keep in touch, and the other party had good intentions, so it was not easy to break up.

Liu Kaijia really couldn't find a car, so he whispered, "Okay, thank you for that, just take me to a road with cars."

There was a professional driver driving in the front seat of the car, while He Shichen and Liu Kaijia sat in the back seat. After talking about everything, the two of them looked at each other in silence, as they had no idea what they were talking about.

After the car started, He Shichen was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Master, you learn these things, don't you have a lot of things to do in your daily life? You have to check the weather before going out. If you predict there will be a disaster, you dare not go out. Anyway, it's a problem."

"Are you holding a deep grudge against her?" Liu Kaijia said awkwardly. "In fact, we don't calculate every day. We can only calculate things for a period of time, and they may not come true. If you calculate without leaving any plans, you are not a human being."

He Shichen glanced at him and said coldly, "But why haven't I seen her make mistakes before?"

"..." As the defeated general of Chu Qianli, Liu Kaijia was embarrassed when he heard the words and suddenly became speechless.

Chu Qianli had made mistakes before. She knew that Liu Kai's family name could predict his fate. Her fortune-telling skills were ridiculous. It was like what outsiders said about college students not all being undergraduates. However, there was a clear gap between students from Peking University and Tsinghua University and other universities. There was still some difference in essence.

Liu Kaijia felt inexplicably irritated when communicating with He Shichen. This person just kept talking about irrelevant things.

The car slowly stopped. He Shichen observed Liu Kaijia's expression. As he opened the door and got out of the car, he asked, "Did the master calculate before going out today?"

"What's that?" Liu Kaijia noticed that the other party got off the car. He looked around in confusion, "Have we arrived yet?"

He Shichen slammed the car door, looked at the professional driver beside him, and ordered him to lock the door directly, and said coldly: "Calculate that you are caught."

Liu Kaijia suddenly found that he was the only one left in the car, and even the driver didn't know when to get out. He knocked hard on the car window and asked in shock: "What are you doing!?"

"To be honest, I hate fortune tellers the most. I owe her the one at home and I can't get rid of her, but I have no reason to tolerate you." He Shichen's eyes were slightly cold. "You invaded other people's privacy and instigated others to steal. I will contact a lawyer and you can communicate in prison then."

Liu Kaijia was locked in the car and angrily said: "You are illegally restricting my personal freedom!"

"No, it's just that the car lock is broken. We are working hard to repair it." He Shichen looked at the driver calmly.

The driver nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is being repaired, but it will take some time."

After the two of them finished talking, they stood quietly on the side of the road and watched the show, with no intention of repairing the car lock at all.

Liu Kaijia: "..."

As a palace fighter, He Shichen is usually useless at home, but now he can let Master Liu know the dangers of society. These radical elements who hate metaphysics are really not easy to deal with.
