Chapter 187 Brother's Hug: Those Who Look Down on the Boss Will Regret It Too Late [2 Updates]
He jumped up in shock: "This...this..."
Ying Zijing looked at the three cards she had turned over, her eyes darkening: "Don't speak."
The vice principal quickly covered his mouth and held his breath.
The first card, The Hanged Man, number "12", is the 13th card in the Major Arcana, reversed.
The second card, the Chariot, number "7", is the 8th card of the Major Arcana, reversed.
The third one is blank.
There are blank cards in the Tarot deck; blank cards are always substitute cards.
When other cards are missing, blank cards can be used as substitutes.
However, when Ying Zijin used tarot cards for divination earlier, she clearly did not bring over the blank cards.
This is the difference between genuine tarot cards and those circulating in the market.
Only genuine Tarot cards possess the power of divination.
Even a blank card can have significance if it becomes a selected card.
The vice principal didn't know how to tell fortunes, but he did know about tarot cards.
Both the reversed Hanged Man and the reversed Chariot have negative connotations.
It represents failure and disadvantage.
In other words, Norton's current situation is not good.
As for the blank card, the vice principal couldn't see it.
“Two months ago, he left here to find new alchemical materials,” Ying Zijing said in a low, cold voice. “But it was his first time going to that place, so it’s not a good sign.”
"However, the fact that there is no danger to life in the next year is good news."
Hearing this, the vice principal breathed a sigh of relief.
If the fortune teller says no, then no.
But where did the principal go?
Surely it's not the alchemy world?
But this wasn't Norton's first time visiting the Alchemy World.
“More and more people are paying attention to this place, so I have to leave.” Ying Zijin put the cards away. “I’ve reinforced the school’s firewall for you, so don’t be so carefree in the future.”
The vice-principal was still pondering where else he could obtain alchemical materials when he suddenly heard this sentence, and he was so frightened that he almost fell over: "Strengthen the firewall?"
The girl glanced at him.
That look in his eyes was like he was looking at a piece of scrap metal.
"Thank you so much." The vice principal wiped his sweat. "Sigh, that's a problem. Technology is so advanced these days, your identity will probably be discovered sooner or later."
"Hmm." Ying Zijing slung her backpack over her shoulder, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. "Not yet."

The story about He Xun spread like wildfire, until the entire Qingzhi knew about it.
All three grades of the international classes felt ashamed.
They used to respect He Xun, but they never expected that he wasn't even a graduate of Norton University.
No, and still so arrogant, who are they trying to impress?
The senior high school students are all back today.
In another week, the college entrance examination results will be released, and then it will be time to fill out college applications.
Qingzhi has dedicated volunteer planners who analyze each student's strengths and weaknesses and help them plan their university majors.
"Tinglan, have you heard?" The class monitor rushed back from the office excitedly, slamming his fist on the table with a wild laugh. "That petty guy surnamed He actually got his degree revoked by Norton University! Serves him right, he absolutely deserves it!"
Wen Tinglan was still not used to socializing, and simply nodded: "I heard you, thank you."
"Tinglan, he's just an idiot, don't take his words to heart." The class monitor remembered what Ying Zijing had told him and began to comfort the boy again, "Your IQ is 228, that's a genius that's rare in the world, and Imperial University is no bad either, you can crush us in no time."
As if remembering something, he asked again, "Tinglan, have you decided what major to choose? The Physics Department of Imperial University is one of the world's top.
"I don't want to study physics." Wen Tinglan paused for a moment. "Let's wait and see when the results come out."
"Oh right, and that biology teacher surnamed Bai from the second year of high school." The class monitor slapped his forehead. "The school says she had someone steal your exam admission ticket, and she got what she deserved."
"I heard from the dean of academic affairs that the guy surnamed Bai has been locked up. Tinglan, you're practically a walking anti-rebound system! Everyone who messed with you has suffered. I have to pay my respects to you too."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tinglan raised her eyelashes, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why does he feel that it's all related to his sister?
What else happened to his sister during her year in Shanghai?
"You guys chat for a bit." Wen Tinglan packed her schoolbag. "I'm going home for a bit."
**
Ying Zijin returned yesterday.
Only Wen Fengmian, Wen Tinglan, Grandpa Zhong, and Fu Yunshen knew about her trip to O Continent.
She went home first before visiting Grandpa Zhong at the Zhong family's old house.
Today is a workday.
Zhong Zhi goes to school in the evening, while his wife goes for a fragrance massage.
Grandpa Zhong should have been at the company too, but after hearing that she was coming, he handed over his work to his subordinates.
"Zijin, I'm not trying to be mean, but why did you run off all by yourself?" Grandpa Zhong was very troubled. "Putting aside whether you're feeling better or not, what if you, a young girl, run into bad people?"
He didn't know at first that Ying Zijing only called him on the second day after she arrived in Ozhou.
It's too late to go now; we can't even find the person.
"Then they'll probably go to the hospital."
"..."
After thinking for a moment, Grandpa Zhong said, "Zijin, Wanwan has a lot of opinions about you, but it's her fault. You don't have to give in to her because of me."
"Grandpa, don't worry." Ying Zijing stood up. "I have an appointment with someone, so I'll come to see you again tomorrow."
Grandpa Zhong waved his hand, looking very pleased.
After the girl left, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Could it be that brat from the Fu family?
Grandpa Zhong felt there was no other possibility, and he immediately became unhappy. He picked up his phone and dialed: "Old Fu, how many times have I told you to control your grandson? What nonsense about children and grandchildren having their own blessings!"

Thirty minutes later.
city center.
Ying Zijin got out of the taxi.
In front of a bar at the intersection, a man leaned against the glass door, his long legs slightly bent.
Her elegant and charming demeanor is a unique kind of beauty.
He raised his head as if sensing something, and the coldness in his eyes faded away.
Her peach blossom eyes curved upwards, like a gentle breeze blowing across the clear water.
Fu Yunshen raised his hand and habitually ruffled her hair, his voice laced with amusement: "Little one, you're back from your trip?"
Ying Zijing recalled that before she left, the vice principal had asked her to reinforce Norton University's physical security system.
She pressed her head and sighed, "I guess so."
"Don't go to such far places alone in the future." Fu Yunshen glanced at his phone and turned it off. "I know you need your own private space, but there are too many bad people out there."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment.
That's exactly what her maternal grandfather said.
"Let's go eat first." Fu Yunshen glanced at the time. "There's a private restaurant over there."
The road wasn't far, and the two walked there.
After walking for about five minutes, Ying Zijing realized that something was wrong with her body.
A wave of pain surged through my abdomen, nothing compared to a broken arm, but it was somehow hard to bear.
She stopped and slowly sat down on a bench by the roadside, breathing gently.
The pain, however, became even more intense, like a violent churning of the sea.
Ying Zijin remained silent.
She has always neglected her own health.
When she first woke up, she was exhausted and her body had reached its limit due to depletion of qi and blood and excessive consumption of energy.
I can't sleep well, I can't eat well, and my period won't come, let alone be on time.
This was her first period after she had recovered, which made her forget about it.
The result was a surging torrent.
The reason it hurts so much is because my health was too poor before.
Fu Yunshen also stopped. He noticed that the girl's face was slightly pale and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. His expression changed abruptly.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." Ying Zijing's hand rested on the chair, her breathing slightly rapid, but her tone remained calm. "Menstrual cramps, take it easy."
Fu Yunshen also fell silent: "..."
This was the first time he had encountered something like this.
There were no women around him, and Nie Chao was the only one who would talk to him.
However, he still knew some common sense.
Everyone's constitution is different; some people can feel excruciating pain, while others can eat ice cream without any problems.
Fu Yunshen took off his coat, bent down, and tied it around the girl's waist.
“We can’t do it here,” he said. “Yaoyao, get up, I’ll carry you away.”
This is a pedestrian street, located inside, so cars can't get in.
"It's really nothing," Ying Zijing said, pressing her stomach. "It'll be fine in a bit."
She had been injured many times before, and she always recovered on her own.
“How can you say it’s nothing? It’ll be a bloodbath soon.” Fu Yunshen said patiently. “Here’s what we’ll do: there’s a branch of Century Shopping Mall up ahead. Let’s rest there, and I’ll call a car to the hospital.”
The situation was urgent, and he couldn't worry about anything else. He raised his hand and slowly lifted her up in his arms.
Fu Yunshen glanced at the chair again, and only after confirming that there were no marks did he walk forward.
The pain was already getting worse, and Ying Zijing had no strength left.
She turned her head slightly and smelled the familiar scent of jade and sandalwood.
Calm and gentle.
It possesses a powerful and reassuring force.
It felt as if I was immersed in warm water, floating and drifting.
Her breathing calmed down, she closed her eyes, and slowly composed herself.
**
Inside Century Shopping Mall.
The woman immediately attracted the attention of other customers as soon as she came out of the fitting room.
"Mrs. Fu, this outfit is simply tailor-made for you," the saleswoman exclaimed. "Even the model looks better in it."
Su Ruan smiled modestly: "You flatter me."
The Fu family is having a family banquet the day after tomorrow, and she has just returned, so she can't lose face.
"Mrs. Fu, would you like any accessories?" the saleswoman eagerly offered, but Su Ruan frowned and looked towards the entrance of the mall.
The saleswoman also looked over, paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that gossip.
Gossip says that Su Ruan was originally the fiancée that Old Master Fu arranged for Fu Yunshen, but Su Ruan looked down on a playboy and instead married the eldest grandson of the Fu family, who is Fu Yunshen's older brother.
Su Ruan naturally noticed that the man was holding a girl in his arms, and her brows furrowed with displeasure.
She was right not to choose him back then, otherwise she would have had a lot of illegitimate children.
"I don't want to see him. With him, it's not me; with me, it's not him." Su Ruan turned her eyes away indifferently, not even wanting to look at Fu Yunshen. "Make him leave now."
See that? This is a real, live-action romance!
