Seeing Quan Cang's expression, which clearly indicated he wanted to say or do something, Xu Yuehuai promptly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to her?"
"You could say that. She came to see me a couple of days ago, saying she wanted to see you. I had also come to see you a while earlier, but they said you were out on a mission and hadn't returned yet. So I planned to wait a couple of days and see. Well, you just got back, so I came here." Quan Cang first explained why he was there, then changed the subject, "So when I heard you were back, I came to see you. She said she had something to talk to you about, but she didn't say what it was. I wanted to pass it on, but she wasn't willing and said that it had to be said to you in person. She'll probably be staying at an inn for the next few days. I came so early in case I arrived late and you were gone. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Quan Cang was still a little embarrassed. After speaking, he wanted to leave, his eyes looking around helplessly.
Xu Yuehuai didn't know what connection she had with Yan Zhi. If she had to say there was something between them, it would probably be that Yan Zhi was an elder of the Guo family and the only surviving direct disciple of Dean Guo. "Which inn is she in?"
"Laifu Inn." Quan Cang answered quickly, having asked the questions he wanted to ask. Xu Yuehuai saw Quan Cang off and told him to stay in the sect for the next few days, as she would have something to discuss with him when she returned from her business today.
Quan Cang didn't ask why he couldn't say such things now. He just obediently nodded and left, and couldn't help but look back at Xu Yuehuai twice as he left.
Xu Yuehuai is now almost awake. After this ordeal, she is no longer sleepy. She sits on the bench outside and watches the shadows of the trees swaying, as if it were some kind of special signal.
After it got a little brighter, she went out alone without even telling Aqing. She just left a note in the kitchen telling him not to cook for himself today, so as not to waste his food.
When Xu Yuehuai arrived in town, many people had already gone out on the street, and there were breakfast shops hawking their breakfasts. Looking around, there were all kinds of people, a real mixed bag. She walked easily to the entrance of Laifu Inn, where many people had already gotten up and were sitting in the lobby eating breakfast.
Xu Yuehuai glanced around but didn't see the person she was looking for. She was a celebrity, and when she walked down the street, everyone was in a hurry and no one paid attention to her. But now, standing in the inn, the owner recognized her at a glance. "Miss Xu? Are you looking for a meal or a room?"
The boss beamed with a smile, warmly welcoming Xu Yuehuai. Xu Yuehuai, still a little uncomfortable, returned a polite smile and said, "I'm here to see someone. Have you seen someone before...?"
"Miss Xu, I'm here." A sweet voice reached Xu Yuehuai's ears. Xu Yuehuai turned her head and saw Yan Zhi standing on the stairs, walking down. It seemed that he had just come down and saw Xu Yuehuai.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Oh, no need, thank you."
The boss didn't say much, worried about disturbing Xu Yuehuai's work, and watched Xu Yuehuai leave. Xu Yuehuai followed Yan Zhi upstairs, one in front and one behind. Yan Zhi didn't say anything, not even a greeting, so the atmosphere was extremely quiet.
After returning to Yan Zhi's room, she stepped aside to let Xu Yuehuai in. After glancing around to make sure no one was outside, she closed the door and said to Xu Yuehuai, "I know Quan Cang must have told you something, and you must have a lot of questions you want to ask me. Go ahead and ask, and I will answer you to the best of my ability."
Yan Zhi was frank, his brows radiating confidence as he spoke. Xu Yuehuai sat down and asked the question she had prepared beforehand, "Why are you here? Everyone in Dragon Roar Valley is dead. How did you survive? Did anyone else survive?"
Yan Zhi was somewhat surprised when Xu Yuehuai finished asking her questions. She thought Xu Yuehuai would at least ask her one or two questions, but she didn't expect that he didn't ask her what she wanted to say to him at all.
Yan Zhi sat opposite Xu Yuehuai, took a deep breath, and gave her a heads-up: "First of all, everything I'm about to say is the truth, so please believe me as much as possible, no matter what I say, okay?"
Xu Yuehuai hummed in agreement and looked at Yan Zhi. "I suppose you know that I entered Dragon Roar Valley because they valued my divination skills. And the fact that I can appear before you is also related to my abilities. We survived because of our abilities. Yes, the others are not here. They found another place to settle down, and everyone there is a diviner."
After Yan Zhi finished speaking, she paused to see Xu Yuehuai's expression, but was somewhat surprised to see her calm and composed demeanor.
She continued, "The people of Dragon Roar Valley who survived are all people who know some divination techniques, which is why they escaped this calamity. We divination practitioners cannot reveal information casually, or we will be punished by the heavens. So only a few people know about this matter, and coincidentally, I am one of them. I was lucky enough to survive."
After answering Xu Yuehuai's question, Yan Zhi continued with what she wanted to tell her, "I've come here this time because I have something important to tell you. I've predicted your future. You absolutely must not go to the first floor, you know? Before the end of next year, you must not go to the first floor, otherwise your life will be in danger."
The fact that Yan Zhi had to wait until Xu Yuehuai returned to tell him this matter, which seemed to take a long time, made it seem somewhat unremarkable.
Xu Yuehuai didn't think so. She looked up at Yan Zhi and said, "Why? I need a reason, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do this. I have something very important to do."
To make Yan Zhi understand her determination to go to the first floor, Xu Yuehuai deliberately added that she had something very important to say, hoping that this way Yan Zhi would tell her everything.
Without Xu Yuehuai's attempt to dissuade her, Yan Zhi continued, "I think I know what you want to ask. I'll tell you. What you're thinking is pretty much the same. I don't know why you're in any danger, but you really can't go. My abilities are limited, and I haven't seen much."
"Moreover, I usually have no chance to make such a great prophecy. The fact that I can tell you this now is entirely due to fate. Fate knows that you and I know each other, so it gave me this prophecy so that I could stop you." Yan Zhi spoke in a mysterious tone, his eyes fixed on Xu Yuehuai, trying to see from her expression whether she believed it or not.
