"That depends on which one Master Wushan speaks first."
Upon hearing Wu Shan's words, Qin Ruoxi didn't immediately consider which two meanings to ask, but instead said it depended on which one Wu Shan wanted to say.
"Since that's the case, then this old monk will speak."
After saying that, Wu Shan continued speaking.
"One hour and nearly a quarter of an hour, the first meaning is that the benefactor encountered someone within one hour and nearly a quarter of an hour after leaving the Yufeng Opera House."
"The second meaning is that the benefactor will meet a second person at the exact time he enters this house the following day."
"Are they the same person?"
Qin Ruoxi heard this person and that person, wondering if they were the same person.
No.
The first person was unexpected.
"The second person is fate."
Qin Ruoxi nodded upon hearing Wu Shan's words. "Master Wu Shan, I have a fortune stick here that I'd like you to interpret."
"Very well, may I ask which divination slip you are referring to, young benefactor?"
Upon hearing Wu Shan's words, Qin Ruoxi took out the fortune slip she had drawn earlier from her sleeve and handed it to Wu Shan.
Wu Shan took the slip of paper from Qin Ruoxi's hand; it was blank.
Upon seeing this, Wu Shan understood. "Does the young benefactor have any questions?"
"Master Wushan, this fortune stick has no words on it, what does it mean?"
"Young benefactor, this represents limitless possibilities for the future. Therefore, whatever happens, good or bad, depends entirely on how you act."
"Is that so?" Qin Ruoxi asked Wu Shan, who nodded.
"Thank you, Master Wushan."
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Wu Shan smiled, and then Qin Ruoxi left the room.
Just as Qin Ruoxi reached the door and was about to open it, Wu Shan spoke with a smile.
"Young benefactor, your destined one has appeared."
"???"
Qin Ruoxi turned her head and looked at Wu Shan with confusion and shock, asking incredulously, "Master Wu Shan, are you lying?!"
"Monks do not lie."
"Go quickly, young benefactor."
Qin Ruoxi understood what Wu Shan meant by "go quickly" and knew where to go.
Then she left the room. Just as Qin Ruoxi left, Liao Hui stood up.
"Has the young benefactor found the answer?"
"nature"
Qin Ruoxi nodded, then looked at Liao Hui, "Master Liao Hui, could you please help arrange a private room?"
"Don't worry, young benefactor."
"Thank you very much, Master Hui," Qin Ruoxi said, bowing to Hui before leaving the courtyard.
The three people waiting for Qin Ruoxi outside the courtyard immediately stood at attention when they saw her come out.
"Does Miss have any answers?"
Zou Heng asked the same question as He Liao Hui, and seeing Qin Ruoxi nod, he didn't say anything more.
"Uncle Zou Heng, I'm going to see my mother. You and Dong Tao can wait for me at Wusi Temple."
"good"
Zou Heng agreed, but Dong Tao pouted and looked at Qing Ye with dissatisfaction.
"Qingye, let's go."
"yes"
Qin Ruoxi used her lightness skill to head towards another mountain peak, with Qingye following closely behind.
We arrived at our destination in no time.
The area was filled with crabapple trees, and it was currently the season for them to bloom, turning the whole place into a sea of pink.
Qin Ruoxi and Qingye walked through many crabapple trees and arrived at a grave.
Qin Ruoxi swept away the dust and fallen crabapple petals from the tombstone.
He then knelt directly in front of Xiao Liyan's tombstone and began to kowtow.
After kowtowing, Qin Ruoxi took a few steps to the tombstone, took a hairband from her sleeve, and placed it on the tombstone.
After thinking for a moment, he bent down and picked up the hair ribbon from the tombstone, walked to a crabapple tree, and looked up.
Then, using her light-footed skill, she stood on a branch of the crabapple tree. Seeing this, Qingye looked at Qin Ruoxi with concern, afraid she might fall.
Qin Ruoxi, now in a proper position, tied the hair ribbon in her hand to the tree branch.
After tying it up, Qin Ruoxi jumped down from the tree branch, stood still, and looked up at the place where the hairband was tied.
The blue headband stood out against the pink background, and a gold bell hung from the end of the headband.
Just then, a gust of wind began to blow, and the crabapple blossoms swayed in the breeze, slowly falling to the ground.
The blue headband also began to dance, and the bells hanging from it became musicians, producing clear, melodious sounds.
Qin Ruoxi looked at it for a while, then walked to Xiao Liyan's tombstone again.
"Mother, I embroidered this hairband myself, please don't mind."
"The sky blue color stands out brightly among the crabapple blossoms, echoing their beauty."
That afternoon, Qin Ruoxi sat in front of Xiao Liyan's tombstone and talked to Xiao Liyan for a long time.
It mainly revolves around recent events that have happened to me, and fun things I've encountered.
As the sun set, Qingye called out to Qin Ruoxi. He then followed Qin Ruoxi back to Wusi Temple.
After seeing Qin Ruoxi return, Dongtao went to the kitchen and brought out the food.
"Miss, this is dinner. I just put it in the pot to heat up."
"Uh-huh"
Qin Ruoxi sat down on the stool, then looked at the three people standing there, and spoke with a smile.
"Uncle Zou Heng, please sit down."
Just do things the same as usual.
"good"
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Zou Heng sat down on the stool. Dong Tao Qingye, seeing Zou Heng sit down, also sat down on the stool.
The guard on the roof beam looked on with envy as he saw Zou Heng and his two companions sitting at a table eating.
Just as he was expressing his envy, he heard Qin Ruoxi call his name.
"speech"
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu jumped down from the roof beam and looked at Qin Ruoxi, "What's wrong, Miss?"
"Sit down and eat."
"???"
Upon hearing the words "Sit down and eat," Yan Yu felt as if she had misheard, her shock mixed with delight.
"Sit down and eat with us."
"Really...really?"
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Yan Yu found her voice and asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true, we're family."
"Please sit down."
Hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, he sat down on the stool nervously.
"Just relax, Miss doesn't care about these things."
"You'll understand in time."
Yan Wu nodded blankly after hearing Dong Tao's words.
After Qin Ruoxi started eating, the other four people at the table also picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.
The words on the table, spoken by someone, were as happy as a child.
It's like they've never eaten anything before; their eyes light up no matter what they eat, and they're incredibly happy.
I wish I could finish all the food on the table.
After finishing her meal, Qin Ruoxi sat down at the table. Her increasingly enthusiastic words, however, suggested she hadn't eaten enough.
