Chapter 841 Extra Chapter 07 The person Ying Zijing protects, she likes Norton.
In China, the world of feng shui and fortune telling is a small circle, concentrated in the capital and Luoyang, and it's impossible to avoid it.
The Luo family didn't want to push things too far.
However, the most urgent task now is to dissolve the engagement with the fifth family as soon as possible.
The young man gave Fifth Moon a cold look, then turned his head and said, "Cousin, you'd better watch out for her. If she manages to please Grandpa, you'll have to marry her. What bad luck."
Beside him was a man in his early twenties.
He was also dressed in an ancient-style long robe, with short black hair, and distinct facial features, looking handsome and dashing.
Luo Ziqiu.
The number one among the younger generation of the Luo family.
He was recently invited abroad to resolve a haunted house case, which made him even more famous.
There are quite a few people in the Dengluo family who want to form a marriage alliance.
The Luo family naturally looked down on the already declining fifth family.
Moreover, the Luo family's main base is in Luonan, and they have little contact with the Fifth family.
This was the second time Luo Ziqiu had met Wu Yue.
The last time was when he was five years old, and he has no recollection of it.
Later, I heard that the fifth month was spoiled rotten by the fifth family and didn't even know what gossip was, so I lost even more interest.
Upon seeing that Fifth Month was wearing slippers, Luo Ziqiu frowned slightly, but said indifferently, "It's nothing."
"Did you hear that?" the young man sneered. "Your cousin isn't going to bother with you, but you should know better and stop bothering me, understand?"
"Who said I'm going to marry your cousin?" Fifth Month finally understood the whole story and found it very strange. "I don't even know your cousin. Besides, is your cousin gold? Why would I marry him?"
She has made up her mind; she wants to spend the rest of her life with her little savings.
What's so good about men?
It's not made of gold.
Fifth Month waved his hand: "Don't block my way, I'm going to make money."
She is currently burdened with debt and doesn't know when she will be able to pay it off.
This is the Feng Shui Alliance.
Both Luo Ziqiu and Wu Yue are quite famous.
Furthermore, with the Luo family of Luonan and the Fifth Family of the Imperial Capital, two major feng shui families, backing them up, everyone around stopped and looked over.
The news of his coma in May could not be kept secret.
At the time, other feng shui masters speculated that Wu Yue might perish due to the severe backlash.
"Oh, it's Miss Yue. It seems Miss Yue is alright."
"The Luo family and the fifth family are married? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."
"What did the Luo family do to deserve such praise from Miss Yue? It seems the marriage is off."
"Yeah yeah……"
People around them were talking about it.
The young man was furious, his eyes red: "The...fifth...month!"
Originally, the Luo family intended to use the annulment of the engagement to severely suppress the Fifth family within the social circle.
With people's hearts turned away, this will accelerate the loss of the fifth family's fortune.
But now, they have been outmaneuvered by the Fifth Month.
It's likely that within a day, the news will spread throughout China's feng shui and fortune-telling circles that Wu Yue doesn't want to marry into the Luo family.
In May, he had already slipped into the back workbench.
"Cousin, she definitely did it on purpose." The young man's voice trembled with anger. "You should have just rejected her."
Luo Ziqiu didn't care much: "Taking a step back to advance is useless."
The young man pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true, cousin. The women who want to marry you are lined up all the way overseas. When our Luo family joins forces with the fortune tellers from O continent, who can compete?"
There are quite a few talented fortune tellers in O continent, so the fifth month is nothing special.
Luo Ziqiu didn't take Wu Yue seriously at all, and instead asked, "Is there any news about that master?"
"No." The young man hesitated. "It's been almost a year since we last heard from her. Nobody knows where she went."
Luonan is in the south, while the capital is in the north; they are far apart.
But the news that a giant snake had been slain in the cold pool of the capital last year had already spread throughout Luonan.
That giant serpent was comparable to an ancient martial arts master, yet it was slain by a fortune teller.
Such ability is unmatched.
When the Luo family arrived, they didn't see anyone.
I only learned from other feng shui masters that it was a young girl.
That's true; if a fortune teller's abilities reach a certain level, they too can maintain their youth, just like ancient martial artists and ancient doctors.
Luo Ziqiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Stay at the Feng Shui Alliance for two days first. This master might go to that newly opened ancient burial site."
The Luo family definitely needs to befriend this master.
**
This way.
After receiving five assignments and number plates in May, I happily went home.
The fifth ancestral home is far from the Feng Shui Alliance; it takes three hours by subway.
In May, after calculating the subway fare, I decisively chose the bus, which cost two yuan.
She had just turned around and taken two steps when she bumped into the young man's chest with a "thud".
"Ouch—" Fifth Month covered her nose, tears welling up in her eyes, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
She took a step back, looked up, and found her creditor standing in front of her.
"..."
They've been pushing hard to collect this debt.
“A third-degree disabled person, when are you going to use the energy you have to grow taller?” Xize crossed his arms and looked at her leisurely. “You only reach my chest, like a primary school student.”
Fifth Month looked at his golden hair and said, "You're all grown up, but you're not growing up smart."
"..."
Xize opened the car door expressionlessly and sat in the driver's seat.
He's a grown man, he doesn't hold grudges against young girls.
After waiting a few seconds, May did not appear.
Xize turned his head and frowned: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car."
"Then wouldn't I owe you even more?" Fifth Month hugged the small package tightly. "I don't want to! I'll take the bus. I still have legs; I can walk!"
Xize hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Can't this count?"
"OK!"
In May, I decisively got on the bus.
Upon seeing the gold ornaments in the car, she exclaimed, "Wow! Little brother, I think we have something in common. You like gold too, right?"
"Hmm." Xize turned the steering wheel. "Your master even took me to dig for gold himself. You don't seem to have received that treatment. You're a third-class disabled person."
After learning that the ancient continent of Atlantis had completely disappeared, his heart ached for a long time.
May: "..."
She took out her phone and sent a message to Ying Zijing.
[Waaaaah, Master, you led others to dig for gold, and he even mocked me for not getting that kind of treatment.]
【Dear Master】: ?
【Dear Master】: Tell him to get lost.
In May, her eyes lit up, and she sent a message.
"Master, I've taken on a new assignment next month. Would you come with me? You can just watch from the sidelines; I'll handle everything else."
【Dear Master】: Okay, send me the coordinates, I'll accompany you.
The fifth month was wonderful.
Her master still dotes on her the most.
She showed the chat interface to Xize: "Look, Master is going to take me out too!"
Nishizawa: "..."
After the fifth month, he was no longer the most favored one.
Ying Zijing's personality was naturally aloof, but she was so easy to talk to in front of Wu Yue.
He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But it is true.
The fifth month is worthwhile.
Xize lowered his gaze, tilted his head slightly, and thought of the battle of the three sages again.
At just eighteen years old, May said she was willing to sacrifice herself for the world.
The shock it caused him at that time was so great that even now, when he thinks about it, his eardrums still tremble slightly.
“Third-class disabled person, to be honest, you are the second person I admire besides the boss. Actually, you—” Xize turned his head and saw that Fifth Month next to him was already asleep with his head tilted to the side.
"..."
He shouldn't have talked to her.
That would infuriate him.
An hour later, the car arrived at the fifth ancestral home.
"Hey, we're here." Fifth Month instantly snapped out of it, jumped out of the car, and said, "Thanks, little brother."
Xize turned his head away, his expression cold.
I fall asleep as soon as I get on the bus and wake up as soon as I get off.
What is your physical constitution?
"Yueyue, you're finally back." Fifth Flower gave her a reproachful look. "It's a good thing Mr. Laurent went out with you. If something had happened, how would I explain it to Grandpa?"
"I don't want him following me," May muttered. "He's my creditor, and not even my type."
Xize chuckled in exasperation. He took a sip of tea and glanced at her dismissively: "What type do you like?"
At least in the 18th century, he was hailed as "the Apollo of Florence".
The flowers I receive in a single day are enough to open a flower shop.
But in his first eight reincarnations, because the Sage's Judgment was constantly tracking her, he was killed before he could even get married once.
Until this lifetime.
With the help of Norton and Ying Zijin, he lived from the 18th century into the 21st century.
After regaining his status as a sage, he lived a long life.
But it's still a dog.
May's words really hit a nerve.
"I like Jiang Yi!" Fifth Month pointed at the TV and shouted, "Look, it's this handsome guy! He can sing and dance, has a great body, and captivating eyes. Oh right, I forgot to vote for him today!"
Xize narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction she was pointing.
On the television, the New Year's Eve concert and annual meeting held by Chuguang Media this year is being rebroadcast.
Jiang Yi and Yun Heyue have a duet dance.
Xize doesn't understand current dance trends, but he can tell that the two of them dance very well.
After the duet dance aired, it was trending at number one on Weibo that day due to the criticism from fans of both artists.
Even Chuguang Media couldn't be intimidated.
Almost a month has passed, and the fan wars are still going on.
"Oh," Xize said indifferently. "Didn't you see he had a woman in his arms? What good is it if you like her?"
Fifth Month scratched his head, then suddenly realized: "Oh, Yun and Yue, I like them too! She used to be a very handsome young man, more handsome than you."
Nishizawa: "..."
This topic can't be continued.
"Looks like you're recovering well." Xize put down his teacup and smiled. "You're able to make money now, right?"
Fifth Month was unhappy: "It's not like I'm not going to pay off my debts. Once my master arrives, I'll set off for Luonan immediately."
Xize raised his eyebrows slightly.
He hasn't told Ying Zijin about how he lied to her while he was suffering from amnesia in the fifth month.
Moreover, if he regains his memories in May, won't he be in trouble?
Xize stroked his chin, his blue eyes narrowing.
The phone rang at that moment.
Xize walked out and answered the phone: "Hello?"
“Master,” Job said respectfully on the other end of the phone, “when are you returning to Florence?”
"I'm not going back for now." Xize leaned against the wall. "Is there something you need?"
“Nothing important,” Job said, “but there’s a quarterly family meeting in March. Do you think you need to attend?”
"Hmm." Xize responded indifferently, "I wasn't here. We'll talk about it after I finish collecting the debt."
"???"
Job was a little confused.
He put down his phone, looked at the elders who were waiting for Xize's reply, and hesitated for a moment: "Master said that he is in China collecting debts and will come back after he finishes."
These words left the elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
Who has the audacity, or rather, the ability, to owe Caesar Laurent a debt and not pay it back?
Moreover, how could we allow him to stay in China and not return?
There's a problem.

On the other side.
Country G.
Spacecraft Carrier Experiment Base.
Sinai stretched, put in two drops of eye drops, and then looked at the computer.
“Sinai-sensei, that’s amazing.” Charlotte walked in, holding a card. “You’ve only been here for one day, and someone has already invited you to Love Day. I brought it to you.”
"It's still Alfonso, he's the heartthrob of the group, he's thirty-four this year and still doesn't have a girlfriend."
Love Day.
A romantic restaurant in the city center.
In most parts of O continent, people are open-minded, and after meeting once, they will usually arrange to go to a hotel together.
Sinai didn't even look, yawning, "Xiaxia, throw it away for me."
"I knew you wouldn't read this; they all call you the Ice Queen now." Charlotte shrugged. "Speaking of which, does Professor Sinai have someone she likes?"
Sinai paused, taken aback.
Almost subconsciously, a pair of cold, icy dark green eyes flashed through my mind.
She paused for a few seconds, then smiled faintly: "Perhaps."
“Yes or no, there’s no ‘maybe’.” Charlotte suddenly realized, then added gossipyly, “Professor Sinai, I know! You’re so beautiful, you must already have a boyfriend. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!”
"No, really." Sinai lowered her head and began organizing the documents. "I'm against marriage."
“Teacher Sinai, don’t say things like that, you’ll be proven wrong later.” Charlotte sat down next to her. “My aunt said she wouldn’t get married, but now the three of them go on a honeymoon every year. They’re an old married couple and they’re still so lovey-dovey.”
Sinai smiled and said, "Mainly because we work in this line of work, self-sacrifice is very common, and not getting married is the best option."
She was loyal to science and decided to dedicate her life to it.
“That’s true,” Charlotte muttered. “Come to think of it, I’ve been at the school for four years and I’ve never seen the principal.”
Although the vice principal doesn't appear in public much, he's the one in charge of all matters, big and small.
Norton University students have always been curious about their president.
"I wonder what the principal looks like," Charlotte said, resting her chin on her hand. "Is he tall, thin, or ugly?"
"Probably not." Upon hearing this, Sinai raised an eyebrow. "Maybe he's very good-looking."
“That’s absolutely impossible.” Charlotte said firmly. “Professor Sinai, you may not know, but our principal is also an honorary professor in the Alchemy Department.”
"Those alchemists, as long as they're not bald, they're good-looking?"
Sinai recalled Norton's short silver hair and remembered that she had touched it with her little hands: "He has quite a lot of hair."
Charlotte pointed to her phone: "Professor Sinai, someone sent you a message."
"good."
Sinai picked up her phone, and when she saw the sender's nickname, she felt a burning sensation in her palm.
【Chariot】: The ultraviolet radiation in Country G is strong, and you are in a coastal area, so remember to apply sunscreen.
The time displayed is one hour ago.
After a while, Sinai rubbed his head.
She then realized that she had been working intensely for the past few days and hadn't even stepped out of the base.
I sleep for five hours every day, and I sleep directly on a bunk bed set up next to my desk.
She bent down, took out the first-aid kit from her suitcase, and placed the sunscreen inside in the most conspicuous place on her desk.
The sunscreen bottle has a watermelon sticker on it, so girly!
Sinai rested her chin on her hand and poked the bottle.
Who knew that Lord Chariot was quite the player?
"Sinai-sensei, why are you smiling so happily?" Charlotte leaned over, gossiping again, "Who messaged you?"
Sinai thought for a moment: "An elder."
"Elders?" Charlotte stroked her chin. "Then it seems your elders are very kind. I don't even want to reply to my elders' messages, let alone joke with them."
“Yes.” Sinai’s eyelashes drooped. “He is a very good person.”
He paused for a moment, then said, "You're quite good at coaxing children."
It's unknown how many people the Sage's Chariot has fooled over its decades-long existence.
“That seems to be a very good father.” Charlotte stood up. “It’s lunchtime, let’s go eat.”
Sinai nodded, took off his work badge, and went out with her.
Sinai's beauty was so striking that other staff members passing by frequently turned their heads to look at her.
Several voices rang out: "It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. Some people can go have lunch now, but we still have to stay here and do our research."
"This is a place for research, not a red-light district where some people attract attention."
"Maybe she just likes this kind of thing and enjoys the pleasure of being pursued by other men."
Charlotte frowned, turned her head to look at Section C, and said in a cold voice, "Who are you talking about?"
"Whoever identifies with this is the one who is in the picture." The woman who spoke first smiled slightly. "What business is it of yours who I'm talking about?"
The other nine group members in Section C all let out good-natured laughter, but their eyes held ill intent.
Charlotte was furious: "Ms. Sinai, they—"
Sinai stopped in her tracks, placed a hand on Charlotte's shoulder, and said in a calm voice, "You'd better change the wiring before you do the testing, or it will explode."
No one expected Sinai to say that.
"This is unbelievable, this new lady, she's even trying to meddle with us." The woman's face turned cold. "You think an explosion will just happen like that? I don't believe it."
As she spoke, she placed the power unit in her hand directly into the testing machine.
