With a smile, Lu Zhan and Liu Yiyi walked into the hotel and headed straight to the restaurant on the second floor. However, the moment Lu Zhan stepped inside, Zitong seemed to sense a crisis. She immediately dropped the candy she had been holding onto and floated up to look at Lu Zhan.
"Big brother, that person is very dangerous! I feel like he can threaten me!" Zitong said, her face filled with seriousness.
"Don't worry. How about you enter the Black Gold Soul Banner first?" Xiao Yefeng suggested.
"No need, I can smell it. He has a ghost inside him that's similar to mine!" Zitong replied.
"Oh? Then let's observe for now!" Xiao Yefeng said.
Ghost tamers were not commonly seen in the Metaphysics Society. It wasn't that there were few ghost tamers, but rather that they could easily go astray. The Metaphysics Society had strict examinations for ghost tamers. However, there was no information indicating that Lu Zhan was a ghost tamer.
From all appearances, Lu Zhan and Liu Yiyi looked like a perfect couple. Xiao Yefeng even thought highly of Lu Zhan. Judging by Liu Yiyi's expression, it seemed that Lu Zhan was her ideal partner and also the source of her Peach Blossom Calamity. However, what puzzled Xiao Yefeng was how Lu Zhan, as a fortune teller, could be unaware of Liu Yiyi's situation. After all, matters of love were not forbidden territory; someone skilled in fortune-telling like Lu Zhan should have known about Liu Yiyi's feelings.
Moreover, considering the situation of the Liu Family, Lu Zhan was their designated Geomancer. Liu Yiyi's state should have been under his control. Knowing that Liu Yiyi had feelings for him, Lu Zhan shouldn't have gotten close to her!
As the two approached, Xiao Yefeng stood up to greet them. With Liu Yiyi's introduction, they became acquainted. However, once seated, Lu Zhan and Xiao Yefeng began to scrutinize each other.
At this moment, Zitong hid beneath the Bagua Mirror, completely isolating herself from the Eerie Energy. Yet Xiao Yefeng could still sense the Eerie Energy emanating from Lu Zhan. So he spoke up directly: "Master Lu, I've heard so much about you!"
"Not at all! Xiao Brother resolved such a big issue upon joining the society and safely rescued three Geomancers. Compared to that, I'm quite lacking," Lu Zhan replied.
"Heh heh, isn't Master Lu not skilled in combat? After all, every field has its experts. I've long heard of Master Lu's achievements in Feng Shui!" Xiao Yefeng remarked.
At this point, Liu Yiyi noticed that both men were speaking in veiled terms. So she stood up and said, "I'll go to the restroom for a moment; you two can chat." With that, she left. Liu Yiyi was a clever woman who clearly recognized that both men were being polite due to her presence and chose to step away temporarily.
Watching Liu Yiyi leave, Xiao Yefeng and Lu Zhan fell into an awkward silence. However, it was Xiao Yefeng who broke the ice first: "Master Lu, do you know that Yiyi likes you?"
Xiao Yefeng's straightforwardness caught Lu Zhan off guard for a moment. But then he smiled and said, "Bro, isn't it true that in Yiyi's Yin Jue Vein lineage, love and marriage are forbidden?"
"That's right!" Xiao Yefeng positioned himself as Liu Xuanhuang would have done—taking on an older brother's role.
"The Yin Jue Vein has a fate reversal at twenty-four years old. If I didn't know this issue as a fortune teller, how could I continue in this profession? For so long I've been searching for a way to break this curse but have found nothing. So I think giving her four years of beautiful romantic experiences wouldn't be bad," Lu Zhan said with a smile.
Hearing this from Lu Zhan ignited an unnamed fury within Xiao Yefeng. His gaze shifted dangerously as he asked with intensity: "Are you planning to give up?"
Sensing the impending crisis, Lu Zhan smiled and replied: "Do you have a good solution?"
"I can't believe that as a Geomancer, you don't know about Yiyi's situation. Isn't reversing fate one of the specialties of a Geomancer?" Xiao Yefeng said.
"Reversing fate is not an easy task! Bro, it seems you're also blinded by Fate. Clearly, your Feng Shui skills are not simple. Human lives are predetermined; it's not something we can change, and neither can your Xiao Family!" Lu Zhan's aura suddenly shifted, and a chilling Qi surged forth.
"Hmph! Do you really understand my Xiao Family?" Xiao Yefeng replied nonchalantly.
"I know your father once succeeded in reversing fate, but you must understand the price he paid—his tragic death! The cost of a trade is too great!" Lu Zhan shook his head, no longer paying attention to Xiao Yefeng.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng frowned at Lu Zhan. He never expected someone from the Metaphysics Society would think his parents' deaths were due to reversing fate. Meanwhile, hidden beneath the Bagua Mirror, Zitong inadvertently released a trace of Eerie Energy. Upon sensing Zitong's Eerie Energy, the hidden Eerie Energy within Lu Zhan became uncontrollable and shot toward Xiao Yefeng.
The clawing spirit charged directly at Xiao Yefeng, aiming to devour Zitong. However, Xiao Yefeng glanced at the incoming ghost and said in a deep voice, "You've got guts!"
"Come back!" Lu Zhan realized what was happening and immediately tried to summon back his Spirit Tamer. Yet it was too late; the Spirit Tamer had already reached for Xiao Yefeng's body. This was the most serious provocation among Geomancers.
"Stop!" The Bagua Mirror flipped and shone directly on the approaching Spirit Tamer. With a crackling sound, it appeared out of thin air, drawing the attention of diners around them. However, apart from a puff of white smoke, nothing else emerged. Since neither Xiao Yefeng nor Lu Zhan was smoking, everyone assumed they were seeing things; when they blinked and looked again, nothing was there.
At that moment, Lu Zhan held a jade token in his hand that glowed in response to the light from Xiao Yefeng's Bagua Mirror. Just moments ago, Lu Zhan's spirit had attempted to devour Zitong to advance but was trapped by the light of the Bagua Mirror. The white smoke was merely Eerie Energy being evaporated. Realizing that Xiao Yefeng had acted, Lu Zhan forcibly sealed his Spirit Tamer within the jade token.
Then both of them withdrew their hands simultaneously. "Sorry, this Spirit Tamer I just captured hasn't shed its wild ghost nature yet. But I didn't expect Aunt Qing's ancient mirror would end up with you," Lu Zhan said.
"Heh heh, it's just fate. However, Master Lu, I sense you might be facing some bloodshed soon!" Xiao Yefeng noticed a dark aura forming on Lu Zhan's forehead; although not strong, it was indeed real.
"Oh? I think Bro here might also be facing bloodshed and has probably gone through several crises already!" Lu Zhan replied.
After this meaningless exchange, Liu Yiyi returned. After some conversation among the three, Lu Zhan left the hotel. Left behind were Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi; she said, "Brother Xiao, please don't tell my mom about this. I don't want to trouble Brother Lu!"
"Yiyi, it's not me; Aunt Qing already knows about this matter. I believe it won't be long before Aunt Qing calls you," Xiao Yefeng said helplessly.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Liu Yiyi's phone rang. Clearly, Liu Qing had called Lu Zhan first before reaching out to Liu Yiyi. The conversation between mother and daughter was unknown to Xiao Yefeng; however, with tear-streaked cheeks, Liu Yiyi handed the phone to him.
"Aunt Qing!"
"Wind, please tell her about Yiyi's situation. We haven't fully informed her; we've only told her she can't fall in love. I think it's better if you explain," Liu Qing said.
"What about Lu Zhan?" Xiao Yefeng asked.
"Don't worry! Lu Zhan agreed to this matter since it concerns Yiyi's life!" Liu Qing replied.
The night was deep as Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi sat on opposite sides of the dining table in the room. Liu Yiyi said, "Brother Xiao, it's you!"
"Actually, it's nothing much. Your constitution has issues, which in modern medicine is referred to as rapid cellular aging. In the realm of Geomancers in Huaxia, it is known as the Yin Jue Vein. Aunt Qing doesn't allow you to date because love will accelerate the circulation of the cold energy within you, and after you lose your virginity, it could jeopardize your man's fortune! Simply put, that's how it is!" Xiao Yefeng did not hide this information, although he concealed the fact that she only had four years left to live.
After hearing about her condition, Liu Yiyi was first shocked by her physical state and then felt a bit shy. Liu Yiyi was the epitome of an ideal Eastern woman, yearning for love but remaining chaste. Xiao Yefeng felt fortunate about this; if she were like a Western woman, it would have been troublesome.
Liu Yiyi had long been curious about her health condition. Although she had not found a precise answer through various inquiries, she had learned some things. Now, hearing confirmation from Xiao Yefeng felt like fulfilling a wish.
Being a smart woman, Liu Yiyi quickly processed the information, while Xiao Yefeng decided to leave. Liu Yiyi did not ask how her issue could be resolved, nor did Xiao Yefeng offer any solutions. However, he was genuinely worried; after all, for a young girl in her prime, being unable to experience love was indeed a cruel predicament.
Xiao Yefeng spent the entire night in cultivation. The next morning, Liu Yiyi returned to her original cheerful state—happy, optimistic, and sunny. Since she could not enjoy love, she decided to make an effort to savor every bit of beauty in life.
Seeing this optimistic girl filled Xiao Yefeng with emotions and intensified his determination to help her change her fate. Just as he planned to return to Hangzhou with her, a call from Jiang Xing kept him in Beijing North.
After sending Liu Yiyi off, Xiao Yefeng hurried to the hospital in Beijing North. At that moment, both families were anxiously waiting. They had received an invitation from the main hospital in Beijing North late at night; the hospital agreed to treat their child's condition for free.
Having rushed to Beijing North overnight, they found that a whole night had passed while the two children were still undergoing consultations in a special ward. At that time, Huang Wensheng and Li Min were sitting outside the ward with the parents of another child suffering from the same condition, anxiously waiting.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng had already been brought to the hospital by Jiang Xing's secret technique. Through another door, he entered the special ward where several prominent members of the Metaphysics Society were present: Jiang Xing and Li Xiangjun—both Geomancers were well-known figures. Lu Zhan, whom he had seen last night, was also in the ward along with several other Geomancers whom Xiao Yefeng had not met before. Among them was Cao Man with his silver hair styled like steel needles.
