People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 120, You beast! You're such a beast!

"Judging from the first half of Zi Nu's life, although she was born into a distinguished family, she was burdened by many karmic entanglements, which led to a life full of misfortunes."

Xu Qing held Zi Nu's small hand and recounted all the rhetoric of the so-called masters she had encountered in her previous life.

Zi Nu was completely shocked by Xu Qing's words and let Xu Qing continue to knead her small hands.

Listening to Xu Qingyun's cryptic words, Zi Nu suspected that he was deliberately trying to lure her into the situation by using such vague language.

However, the specific events that occasionally occurred made Zi Nu overturn her own ideas and gradually fall into Xu Qing's rhythm.

"I never expected the Imperial Physician to have such skills; it's truly surprising."

Zi Nu looked at Xu Qing meaningfully, already believing him to be 70% certain.

Although Xu Qing's deductions were not entirely accurate, it was precisely because of these errors that Zi Nu believed them even more.

Even Wei Zhuang, her best friend, didn't know her identity or background. She didn't think Xu Qing could find out, so she had already largely accepted Xu Qing's abilities.

While surprised, Zi Nu became even more convinced that even if Xu Qing was not a member of the Daoist Heavenly Sect, he was definitely not separated from the Dao.

Seeing that Zi Nu had been intimidated by him, Xu Qing showed a tired look, as if he had exhausted a lot of energy.

"I wonder if Miss Zi Nu has any further questions about the future?" Xu Qing asked.

Zi Nu looked at the exhausted Xu Qing, her expression gradually becoming serious, her thoughts unreadable.

"In that case, I'll continue to ask fate and see what the future holds for me."

After Zi Nu finished speaking, a complex light flashed in her eyes, and a touch of sadness unconsciously appeared on her face.

Xu Qing keenly noticed Zi Nu's unusual behavior. Recalling the ending in the original novel where Zi Nu accompanied Han Fei to his death, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

A group of people, each with their own agendas and different goals, come together, gradually become attracted to each other through their interactions, and eventually become close friends with shared ideals.

A group of idealists living in a brutal era of war, their fate was destined to be tragic.

"Fate, my abilities are limited, so let me first look at Miss Zi Nu's fortune for next year."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he released Zi Nu's hand, made random hand seals, and mumbled something incoherently.

"If the east is dark, the west will be bright. After dreaming of gold, I dream of a wasted life."

"Next year is the year of Guihai, the person in question."

Zi Nu looked at Xu Qing, who had his eyes closed and was muttering something, her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness and nervousness.

Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, mobilizing his internal energy to change his qi and blood, making his face look even more tired and pale, and his body swayed involuntarily.

Seeing this, Zi Nu's face showed worry. She reached out to help Xu Qing, but Xu Qing refused.

"Miss Zi Nu, listen carefully now. Next year will be a year of great calamity for you. Not only will your path be fraught with difficulties, but you will also be caught in a whirlpool, encountering numerous dangers."

Xu Qing roughly described the nature of what would happen after Han Fei returned to China, based on the events described in the original novel.

As Zi Nu listened to Xu Qing's words, her heart gradually tightened, and she nervously gripped the hem of her skirt.

"What's even more serious is that it will implicate those around us, and I'm afraid it will affect the entire Zilan Pavilion."

Xu Qing deliberately stopped halfway through her sentence.

What will happen to Zilanxuan?

Zi Nu asked nervously. There weren't many things she cared about, but Zi Lan Xuan was the most important.

"Zilan Pavilion is likely to face annihilation." After saying this, Xu Qing activated his internal energy to stimulate his acupoints, making his face even paler. His vision went black, and he collapsed straight into Zi Nu's arms.

Seeing that Xu Qing was exhausted from divination, Zi Nu's face was full of worry. She opened her arms and caught Xu Qing, holding him in her embrace.

The incredibly soft yet elastic texture exploded on his face, and a hint of enjoyment appeared on Xu Qing's pale face.

All I can say is that Xu Qing's behavior is simply too outrageous.

"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, how are you?" Zi Nu asked anxiously.

Zi Nu disregarded the indecent posture between herself and Xu Qing, letting Xu Qing stay close to her.

With one arm around Xu Qing, he reached for Xu Qing's wrist with the other, wanting to check on her condition.

"Miss Zizi, I'm fine, I'm just a little exhausted and can't breathe properly," Xu Qing said weakly.

He was indeed not in any major problem; he hadn't expended much energy, but he was genuinely struggling to breathe.

Zi Nu's face instantly flushed, and a hint of shyness flashed in her charming eyes, making her even more alluring.

If an ordinary person had done this, they would probably have been struck by the Crimson Serpent Sword by now, but Xu Qing's character model was far too overpowered, and he had a legitimate reason to do so.

Given that Zi Nu had her own agenda, she was not dissatisfied with Xu Qing's behavior. Instead, she gently lifted and supported Xu Qing's head.

Zi Nu shifted her legs and placed Xu Qing's head on her plump thighs.

Xu Qing straightened his legs and began to enjoy Zi Nu's lap pillow with a clear conscience. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the worry in Zi Nu's eyes, feeling very comfortable.

His acting skills were indeed superb, even fooling a veteran like Zi Nu.

Of course, this was also because his words had unsettled Zi Nu. Otherwise, given Zi Nu's personality, how could she have blushed and shown such shyness?

Last time he went straight for it, but Zi Nu wasn't shy at all; instead, she kicked him so hard he flew through the air.

Looking at Xu Qing's handsome face, which was filled with exhaustion, Zi Nu felt a pang of sympathy.

Although Zi Nu is extremely rational, her methods and shrewdness are superb, and she also displays a charming and alluring side.

Such a person is either a ruthless and cunning woman from the martial arts world, or a noblewoman with great ambition.

Neither of them are associated with gentleness, kindness, frugality, or a soft heart, but Zi Nu is an exception.

Beneath her alluring and mysterious exterior lies a kind and compassionate heart, offering unique care and protection for women and the vulnerable.

Seeing Xu Qing so exhausted and worn out, especially since it was all because of her, Zi Nu couldn't help but associate him with weakness.

"Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician. Is what you said true? Is Zilan Pavilion really going to face annihilation?"

Zi Nu's thin lips moved slightly, her words filled with worry.

She didn't care about her bumpy fate, because she knew that after opening Zilanxuan in Xinzheng, her future was destined to be unstable, and life and death could be decided in an instant.

But Zi Lanxuan is different from these sisters. Her sisters are all people with tragic backgrounds, and they stick together for warmth in Zi Lanxuan.

If what Xu Qing said is true, Zi Nu dares not imagine what will happen to her sisters.
"My deduction is pretty accurate, but Miss Zi Nu doesn't need to worry too much. The Heavenly Cycle is 49, and one of them is missing. There is always a glimmer of hope for everything."

Xu Qing frowned slightly and said in a weak voice.

Seeing the pain on Xu Qing's face, Zi Nu assumed that the backlash he had predicted for the future had begun, and felt somewhat helpless. She could only gently massage Xu Qing's temples with her slender, jade-like hands to help relieve the pain.
