Chapter 69 Why is it so familiar?
"Who do you want to see?" Yun Qingqing asked.
"The person I want to see... is the owner of this jade bone fan." Luo Zixi gently stroked the fan with her slender fingers, her eyes full of water.
Mu Hongling was a little surprised:
"Isn't this fan yours... or do you want to find the person who gave it to you?"
Guests who could come to the third floor of Tianxianglou were either rich or noble. Mu Hongling subconsciously felt that this fan must have been given to Luo Zixi by a guest. Her statement "the owner of the fan" must have been a slip of the tongue due to unclear thinking.
However, Luo Zixi shook her head:
"No, this fan isn't mine... A few years ago, I was harassed on the street and was saved by a passing gentleman. I only remembered it after he left and didn't even have time to ask his name. I just found this fan on the ground..."
"Since then, I've always carried this jade fan with me, hoping to return it to its original owner someday and... thank them sincerely..."
Luo Zixi said she wanted to thank him, but shyly covered her face with her fan.
Yun Qingqing was not surprised at all. She had never seen a ghost so obsessed with not returning something it had picked up. It was obvious that the ghost was obsessed with the young master.
"Has it been several years since you last saw that young man? You don't even know his name?" Mu Hongling asked worriedly.
"Yes, I've tried every possible way to find out, asking people who saw him nearby that day, but I can't find any clues... Those who saw him were all deeply impressed by him, but no one knew his identity or origin."
Mu Hongling became more and more worried:
"So, he's not from the Imperial Capital? He just came to the Imperial Capital temporarily a few years ago on business? The world is so big, where can I find someone like him?"
"He is from the capital." Yun Qingqing spoke.
"Really? Can you take me to find him?" Luo Zixi immediately showed anticipation.
"No need to look for it..." Yun Qingqing pondered the hexagram she had just drawn, and said thoughtfully, "Just wait."
"...Really?" The ghost girl asked the same question, but with a hint of doubt on her face. "I've been looking for him for years but haven't heard from him. If I wait, how long will it take?"
Yun Qingqing looked at her fingers and counted again, her brows furrowed.
"Follow me, and I promise you'll see him today."
"Really!" Luo Zixi's face immediately brightened, and her figure suddenly disappeared.
The jade fan hanging in the air suddenly closed with a snap and automatically flew into Yun Qingqing's hand. A woman's anxious voice rang out in the air.
"Then I'll stay with you from now on. You can't lie to me!"
As the fan closed, the temperature and light in the room returned to normal, and Yun Qingqing put away the talisman in the air.
"Princess, will the person she's looking for really show up soon?"
Yun Qingqing nodded and walked out the door:
"That's what the hexagram says, and that person should be not far from here now. Let's go to the door and wait and see."
Several people went downstairs and came to the lobby on the first floor of Tianxiang Pavilion.
Before he could even reach the door, a group of fully armed thugs rushed in.
The leader was none other than Chen Guojiu, who had been chased away before and had returned!
His face was still bruised from the fall, and when he saw Yun Qingqing, he immediately broke into a sinister grin:
"I was worried you'd run away, and now it's just the right time! Either you kowtow and apologize to me and go back home with me, or I tie you up and treat you well, it's your choice!"
Yun Qingqing didn't show any emotion, but the expressions of the people behind her changed drastically.
Mu Hongling's expression was the most complicated:
"Could it be this person that Chu Xi has been thinking about so much..."
"It's not him." Yun Qingqing said firmly, "The person she's looking for is from the Imperial Capital and has an extremely noble status."
Mother Yu interrupted quietly:
"This person is the uncle of the emperor. Isn't this a noble status?"
Yun Qingqing sneered:
"Compared to that guy, this scumbag surnamed Chen is nothing."
As she spoke, she frowned again.
According to her divination, the person Luo Chuxi was looking for was of noble birth and blessed with great fortune. However, some problems had occurred in recent years, and his fortune had been suppressed. As a result, he lived in seclusion and rarely showed up in public. That was why Luo Chuxi had never had the chance to meet that person again...
The question is, why does that person's situation seem so familiar?
