Wang Yao knew he couldn't explain things to Li Kui; the guy was deliberately trying to pick a fight with him. He could only smile sheepishly and look to the fairy for help.
The fairy was also very angry. It was Wang Yao's bad idea that brought this guy here, making it impossible for everyone to have peace. She didn't want to get involved in Wang Yao's affairs, but she knew that Wang Yao's proposal to investigate the cause of the great calamity through fate was extremely important and had to be done.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to Li Kui.
"This is my arrangement. Let's try it out first. The real culprit of the great calamity is extremely cunning. I'll have Xiao Wang use his fortune-telling skills to see if he can find any clues," the fairy said.
"Captain He, I'm not trying to criticize you, but handling cases is a technical job. How can you be so careless?

"Don't listen to him. Just go in and investigate. We'll talk about whether we wasted time or not once we've found out the results," the fairy said to Wang Yao, ignoring Li Kui.
Li Kui kept saying that the fairy had no experience, which made the fairy a little angry. She thought to herself that she had seen far more of the world than Li Kui, and although she knew that he was not very bright, she would not hold it against him. However, she would not tolerate him taking advantage of her.
