Chapter 839 Extra Chapter 05 Norton and Sinai
The fifth flower frowned.
She had heard Fifth Chuan mention this matter before.
Shortly after their birth in May, both of their parents passed away.
Diviners are known for their short lifespans, not to mention the Fifth Family, whose lifespan was shortened even faster because Fifth Shaoxian had once divined Ying Zijin's fate.
Fifth Chuan was also worried that after his death, no one would take care of the youngest, Fifth Yue, so he specifically contacted the Luo family.
The arranged marriage was also made around that time.
However, due to the decline of the fifth company in recent years, the two companies have had little communication.
Fifth Flower had almost forgotten about this.
If the Luo family hadn't taken the initiative to come and request the annulment of the marriage alliance, Fifth Flower wouldn't have had the memory to bother remembering it.
But the Luo family's intentions in announcing the engagement at this particular time are self-evident.
The annulment of the engagement is secondary; the most important thing is to humiliate the fifth family.
If this engagement is called off, the scandal will spread throughout the fortune-telling community the very next day.
Fifth Flower sneered: "Is Patriarch Luo taking advantage of Yueyue's unconscious state to kick her while she's down?"
“Miss Hua, you are mistaken.” Luo Xiu said calmly, “People always strive for higher positions. Don’t you, the Fifth Family, understand your own standing in the fortune-telling world?”
"I ask you, besides Mr. Trump, is there anyone else among you who can support a fifth company?"
The fifth flower's expression was slightly cold.
In the field of divination, there's no such thing as hard work or compensating for lack of talent; it's all about innate ability.
Only talent matters.
It must be admitted that the fifth company is indeed falling further and further behind.
“Miss Hua, as I mentioned, our Luo family can bring Miss Yue in,” Luo Xiu said again, “but she cannot bow to heaven and earth, nor can she bow to each other, and she cannot be recorded in my Luo family’s genealogy.”
Families with a long tradition of Feng Shui place great importance on matters such as engagement.
Being in this circle, we naturally believe in karma and retribution.
The Luo family must sever ties with the in-laws and break free from the karmic entanglement in order to extricate themselves from this predicament.
Fifth Flower laughed in anger. She said coldly, "This matter is of great importance. Let Patriarch Luo come after my elders return."
She held the door shut, politely but distantly saying, "My fifth temple is small, so I won't see you off."
Luo Xiu frowned.
He looked down on Fifth Month, but he still respected Fifth River, a senior figure in the fortune-telling world who was once famous.
He came to annul the engagement without telling Grandpa Luo, otherwise Grandpa Luo would definitely have stopped him.
But Luo Xiu saw it very clearly.
The fifth company was of no use to them.
“Very well,” Luo Xiu said, “then we’ll do it another day—”
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut, nearly knocking Luo Xiu's nose out of place.
He covered his face, his expression ashen: "This Fifth Flower, after all this time, still has such a violent temper. Luckily, she wasn't the one chosen in the first place."
"Dad, why waste time talking to them?" A young man spoke up from the side. "If you ask me, we should just back out. My cousin is a big shot in the fortune-telling world now. He doesn't have time to spend with a person in a vegetative state."
If it were the fifth month before he fell into a coma, the Luo family would still be quite satisfied.
"Anyway, don't tell your grandfather about this." Luo Xiu said with a stern face. "It will be difficult if he finds out. It's easy to break off the engagement, but I'm afraid that after Wu Yue wakes up, he will complain to your grandfather."
The fifth month is lawless, but the older generation still likes her.
"Let her sue," the young man shrugged. "Even if she sues, my cousin won't take a liking to her."
The Luo family walked out.
Luo Xiu grew angrier the more he thought about it: "This fifth company is really stingy. We've come all this way, and they actually want us to stay in a hotel."
Families with a long history in feng shui are said to be wealthy, and their homes contain many antiques worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
It's not wrong to say they're poor; they just don't have enough cash.
As Xize carried the medicinal herbs, he saw the Luo family members, who were dressed in very tattered clothes.
He glanced at it casually and quickly looked away.
"Dad," the young man stopped, "did you see a foreigner just now?"
Even if Westerners come to Beijing to go shopping, they wouldn't go to such a remote place, would they?
“I saw it.” Luo Xiu said dismissively. “I guess he went to the fifth fortune teller. It’s a pity that these people abroad are still stuck in the past. They don’t know which fortune teller is in charge now. They really have no vision.”
The young man turned around again.
The young man was tall and upright, with short hair that shone like gold.
Although he was wearing a traditional Chinese robe, there was nothing out of place about it.
The young man frowned, feeling that the Westerner looked somewhat familiar.
I think I've seen it on TV before.
Who is it?
This way.
As soon as Nishizawa entered, he sensed that something was off.
His gaze darkened: "What's wrong? Third-class... Miss Yue is having some kind of adverse reaction?"
"No." Fifth Flower slammed her hand on the table. "It's the Luo family!"
Xize stared at the shattered stone table: "..."
He believed it.
It seems everyone in China knows kung fu.
Fifth Flower briefly recounted what had happened, then scoffed, "They don't want Yueyue. Do they really think Yueyue wants to marry them? Her family is so poor, Yueyue wouldn't even look at them."
“That makes sense.” Xize nodded in agreement for the first time. “They were dressed in pretty shabby clothes, so they probably didn’t have much gold at home, not enough to swindle anyone.”
Unlike him, he is so extravagant.
"My eldest brother and third brother went to the ancient martial arts world with Grandpa and won't be back until tomorrow." Fifth Flower pushed open the bedroom door. "It's best not to let Yueyue know about the annulment of the engagement."
Xize lowered his head slightly.
The girl lay on the bed, peaceful and serene.
He's very well-behaved and clever, completely unlike the mischievous little devil who used to poke hornets' nests and catch frogs in the water when he was a child.
The cell phone rang at that moment.
Xize immediately answered: "Boss."
"Hmm." Ying Zijing's voice was slightly hoarse. "How is Yueyue?"
“There is no danger to his life.” Xize glanced at the sleeping Fifth Moon. “I’m just worried about any aftereffects.”
"I understand." Ying Zijin nodded slightly. "I will set off for the capital the day after tomorrow to take good care of her."
“Of course.” Xize frowned, then thought of the Luo family from before. “Boss, that thing—”
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Xize paused, then quickly changed the subject. "I just wanted to ask, when are we going to go gold-digging together?"
It's best not to bother Ying Zijing with such trivial matters.
He will be able to solve it.
He should take care of Ying Zijing after all he did for her in May.
The little girl needs to be carefully cared for.
In the early 18th century, he did visit China and came into contact with several Feng Shui families.
But he had never even heard of the Luo family.
What is it?
Upon hearing this, the girl replied coldly, "Oh, goodbye."
Nishizawa: "..."
Their boss is becoming increasingly ruthless.
Xize put away his phone and got up again: "I'll go brew the medicine."
Fifth Flower touched her head.
She originally thought that as the head of the Laurent family, Xize must have lived a life with eighty servants taking care of his daily needs.
At first, she was somewhat resistant to Caesar's arrival.
There have been some changes in the past few days.
It's surprising that this person in power can not only play chess with their grandfather, but also cook.
**
The next day.
In Shanghai.
At the entrance to the courtyard.
Ling Mianxi quietly walked to the backyard and peeked out: "It's already 11:30 in the morning, and A-Ying still hasn't gotten up."
Ying Zijin has never had the habit of sleeping in late or staying in bed.
Today is very unusual.
But everyone knows why this is the case.
The door to the new house was still tightly closed.
On the bed.
The red bed curtains were lifted.
Ying Zijin turned over, her eyes still heavy with sleep.
Her long eyelashes, damp with moisture, made her even more alluring.
A hand then pressed down on her shoulder, before moving to her waist: "Where does it hurt?"
Ying Zijing's fingers trembled slightly as she grabbed his fingers, her eyes cold: "Devil, stop pressing them."
She felt that if he kept pressing down, her travel plans for the day would be ruined.
"Yaoyao, don't worry." Fu Yunshen said calmly, "I have strong self-control, you can trust me."
Ying Zijin: "...I don't really trust you."
But Fu Yunshen's massage skills are indeed very good.
In addition, he is a practitioner of ancient martial arts and is familiar with acupoints on the human body.
Ying Zijing lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep again.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes and raised his hand to rub her head: "Happy wedding, little one."
After so many lifetimes, he finally held her completely in his arms.
A few minutes later, Fu Yunshen stood up.
After he got dressed, he went outside.
Many people in the hall gathered together, and when he came out, they all fell silent.
But they all had a gossipy look in their eyes.
However, due to the absolute combat power of the Sage Demon, no one dared to gossip about it.
"Brother, that's impressive." Qin Lingyan gave a thumbs up. "We were all guessing what time you guys would get up today, and it turns out we were all wrong."
"I'll go order food." Fu Yunshen glanced at him. "Yaoyao is exhausted and needs to eat. You're coming with me."
"Why order food? Can't we just call and order takeout?"
"That old shop doesn't offer delivery."
Qin Lingyan resigned herself to her fate and followed them out.
Sinai was also sitting in the lobby. After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Dean Norman's phone number.
She doesn't have many hobbies; her only interests are aviation and machinery.
The Sage's Academy was completely destroyed, and the sages who had been hindering the development of human technology also perished.
The space carrier experiment can proceed smoothly.
Exploring the universe is also her dream.
At this time, Dean Norman was designing a new core power unit.
With the involvement of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the experimental project progressed much faster.
"My disciple, you said you're coming over? And you asked me to prepare a uniform for you?" Hearing Sinai say this, Dean Norman was quite puzzled. "Don't you like wearing little skirts the most these days?"
Sinai: "...I never said such a thing."
“Nonsense.” Dean Norman was displeased. His meticulousness as a science student made him retort directly, “You clearly said you would give me a little dress. I still have the chat history. I’ll show it to you if you don’t believe me.”
Sinai: "..."
As it turns out, alchemical potions are a very harmful thing.
After she fully recovered, she almost didn't want to recognize herself.
Dean Norman also noticed that Sinai had become taciturn again, and his attitude softened instantly: "My disciple, I was wrong. You are even more talented than your teacher. Of course, you are indispensable for this kind of experimental project."
“I’ve already prepared your application letter. Your junior sister is the first researcher, and you are the second.”
"It doesn't matter," Sinai said casually. "As long as there's something to play with, that's enough."
She has never cared about such empty fame.
“Okay, okay,” Dean Norman readily agreed. “Let me know when you’re almost there, and I’ll come pick you up.”
“No need,” Sinai yawned. “I can manage on my own.”
“That’s true,” Dean Norman muttered. “Your former classmates also said that you seem like an iceberg, but when you bombed the academy, you were a volcano.”
Sinai remained silent.
She opened her phone and started booking a flight to country G.
Fu Yunshen has good relations with the presidents of several countries in Africa.
In addition, given the global influence of the Laurent family, Country G has established a huge experimental base specifically for the space carrier experimental project.
Even now, 80% of people worldwide still don't have a positive outlook on this project.
With humanity's current level of technology, we can't even explore another universe, let alone go there?
Even with the Venus Group involved, the industry has no confidence in it.
Only the president of country G strongly supported it.
But Sinai believes that the space carrier project will succeed within five years.
That would shake the whole world.
Ying Zijing got up three hours later.
“Ah Ying.” Sinai stepped forward and smiled slightly. “I’ve contacted my teacher and we’re going to the space carrier experimental base. I know you’re tired, so leave this to us.”
Ying Zijing didn't stand on ceremony and hugged her: "Okay, I'll have someone help you pack your luggage."
Sinai nodded and went upstairs.
Ying Zijin walked out.
Snow is rare in southern China.
But this new month has seen Shanghai experience snowfall quite a few times.
It rained again this morning, covering the grass with a layer of silvery white.
Norton didn't play cards with anyone; instead, he sat in the courtyard.
Snowflakes fell on his silver hair, but he didn't brush them off.
"Where are you planning to go?" Ying Zijin asked from behind him. "Or are you feeling lonely in this life and planning to reincarnate?"
She rarely saw Norton like this.
All I remember is that Norton was just as aloof and cold when they first met.
He looked at her coldly with those dark green eyes.
The man back then was just a teenager.
His expression was indifferent, and he walked like a cold, sharp blade.
He is a very stubborn person.
“I’m not going anywhere else. I’m going to the Alchemy Realm.” Norton opened his eyes and turned his head. “It’s been a while since I’ve been there. I have some things to take care of.”
Ying Zijing narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "I remember now, your teacher—"
The earliest origins of alchemy were indeed those of sage magicians.
He was also the first alchemist on Earth.
However, the alchemists in O Continent have nothing to do with sages and magicians.
It was a group of people seeking immortality who discovered the wondrous art of alchemy and began to study it.
The world of alchemy is very similar to the world of ancient martial arts and the existence of the World City.
It is an independent space that originally existed on Earth.
This space contains many alchemical materials.
It was the earliest group of alchemists who stumbled into this space and settled down there, later renaming it the Alchemy World.
Norton's dark green eyes narrowed at the mention of this title.
He gave a cold laugh: "He should still be alive. Alchemists may have a longer lifespan than ancient martial artists."
There are quite a few alchemists who take evil paths, and some can even steal the lifespan of others through drugs.
“Alright, you go to the Alchemy Realm.” Ying Zijing pondered for a moment, “I’ll come find you after I’ve finished my other business.”
She had only heard Norton mention her teacher; she had never actually met him.
But overall, it's not a good thing.
“No need.” Norton closed his eyes slightly and said calmly, “I can handle this on my own.”
Ying Zijing nodded slightly: "Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything."
As a sage in the world, she possesses great power.
But she will not interfere with how the world works.
Everything in the world has its own reason for change.
“Okay, I know.” Norton suddenly looked up, smiled, and lazily raised his chin. “Boss, be careful with your back when you exercise in the future.”
"..."
Without exception, Norton was beaten.
Although this injury is nothing to him.
Norton closed his eyes again and remained sitting in the courtyard.
More than ten minutes later, the footsteps sounded again.
Sinai carried little luggage; she always traveled simply.
After putting on a coat, he went outside.
Once outside, Sinai immediately spotted a man with short silver hair sitting on a bench in the garden, his black earrings reflecting the light.
Lonely and desolate.
It seems that the Sage Chariot who can cook and likes to lift her up is just an illusion.
After the illusion fades, he remains a sage high above all others.
If she hadn't shrunk because of the alchemical potion, they would never have crossed paths.
Sinai wrapped her coat tighter around herself and continued walking outside.
As she passed a bench, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
The force was so great that Sinai lost his balance for a moment.
He sat in the snow, yet his hands remained warm, their heat radiating outwards.
The next second, she uncontrollably fell into someone's arms.
A man's body is as hard as ice.
It's almost the end of the month, aren't you going to give me a monthly pass?
We'll add an extra chapter if someone advances to the next rank!
I opened a Weibo account, and a bunch of people are impersonating me? My only account is 卿浅sherry, I don't have any other accounts.
There's no need for that. Won't this kind of thing be exposed immediately? What use are you besides providing me with material for my novel?
Beware of the account "Radish Wants to Eat Radishes"—it's a scam.
If the extra chapters don't get stuck, the story will finish next month; if they do, it will be in September.
This is truly the longest side story I've ever written TvT
