Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Doctor Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Bai Zhi! This is your fortune teller, right? Take him away! How dare you bring such a low-class person here? Is this a vegetable market?"

Bai Zhi did not bring the person in, but she did not defend herself. She ran over quickly, carrying Qiao Banxian and his two large bowls full of food and went out the door.

The sun was shining brightly today, so Bai Zhi found two wooden stakes to use as tables and chairs for Qiao Banxian, and explained, "Doctor Jiang is just a bit harsh, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. But don't come here again. Doctor Jiang doesn't believe in fortune-telling, and she will definitely drive you away every time she sees you."

Qiao Banxian put down his bowl and chopsticks and answered the question irrelevantly: "I'll calculate something for you."

Bai Zhi: "...I worked all morning and was exhausted. That bowl was not enough for me to eat. I don't count."

"I won't charge you for your meal." Qiao Banxian raised his dirty and mottled sleeves, "Thank you for the clothes."

"That's not necessary. I don't have anything to calculate."

Bai Zhi was about to go back to get her meal when Qiao Banxian suddenly said, "You are going to have a disaster."

Since the last time she found Qiaoqiao and Chuqi with a thousand miles of guidance, Bai Zhi was quite convinced of Qiao Banxian's ability. However, just because one can accurately predict the past does not necessarily mean that one can accurately predict the future. In a sense, she still prefers the saying that "everything depends on human effort".

Originally, she would not have listened, but since Qiao Banxian had already started talking, it would not hurt to listen to him. Bai Zhi sat opposite him and asked, "What's going on?"

Qiao Banxian shook his head: "Unbreakable."

Bai Zhi was so upset that her eyes were about to roll to the sky.

Qiao Banxian suddenly changed the subject: "You are doomed to be alone, and you have no choice but to do it. This is ominous."

"...Brother Qiao, please tell me something I can understand."

Qiao Banxian stretched out a finger and pointed at Bai Zhi's forehead: "You are too selfish. If you continue like this, you will eventually bring disaster upon yourself."

Bai Zhi was puzzled and said, "Everyone has selfish desires. It's unreasonable to bring disaster upon yourself just because of this."

"Your selfish desires are more than that. You can't grasp the fate around you." Qiao Banxian finally changed his flowery words into human words. "You seem to know your own heart, but you let the people around you come and go without stopping them. In the end, the fate dissipated, and you ended up alone."

Bai Zhi sat up straight involuntarily.

This is too weird.

After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Second Brother Qiao, did you calculate this?"

Qiao Banxian: "It's my decision."

"I see." Bai Zhi let out a long sigh and grinned, "It's just a random guess. If it doesn't come true, it will ruin your reputation."

This was a joke to ease the atmosphere, but Qiao Banxian didn't give him any face at all. He didn't smile at all, but stared at Bai Zhi with his pair of clear black and white eyes.

Bai Zhi's smile faded, she straightened her clothes, and said seriously: "No offense, Brother Qiao, I think what you said is contradictory."

Qiao Banxian looked puzzled: "Where?"

"You said that I would become a lonely person if I let people around me come and go without stopping them, but there are so many people in the world who try every means to keep people around them, but in the end they are still alone. Rather than tossing and turning, it is better to let nature take its course. Anyway, those who want to leave cannot be stopped by force. Besides--" Bai Zhi spread her hands, "Man proposes, God disposes. Forcing will eventually lead to unhappiness. Instead of being frightened, it is better to live happily one day at a time. When the day comes when I am alone, I can still recall the past, which is not a loss."

"In that case, what are you afraid of?"

Bai Zhi was stunned: "What?"

"I told you that your fate will eventually fade away, what are you afraid of?" Qiao Banxian knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks, and the sharp, long sound pierced Bai Zhi's ears, "Since you are really as relieved as you said, why bother?"

Tsk, why is it never-ending? This isn't an interrogation of a criminal, why are you digging into his details?

Bai Zhi frowned and felt her chest burning.

Not only was her lung duct punctured, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Seeing Bai Zhi remained silent, Qiao Banxian took advantage of the situation and said, "If you stick to your old ways, what will you do when the day comes when you suffer the consequences..."

"Mr. Qiao."

The interruption was quiet but very strong. Bai Zhi did not pause for a moment, and continued in a slow and peaceful tone: "I have also met some fortune tellers in Qing County. From what I have seen, these people, without exception, are only responsible for divination, and do not care about the rest. Good or bad luck is up to people. I have never seen someone as dedicated as Mr. Qiao." She leaned forward slightly, looking directly into Qiao Banxian's eyes, and a hint of coercion appeared invisibly. "You helped me save my sister-in-law's life, I am grateful to you. But one thing is one thing, I would like to ask you now, what is the cause and effect of what you said in Shiling County... In other words, do you want to participate in my cause and effect, or do you want to participate in other causes and effects?"

Now it was Qiao Banxian's turn to keep silent.

After a long silence, Bai Zhi shook her head and patted her clothes, then laughed again: "Second Brother Qiao, I will follow Qiao Wanwan in calling you Second Brother. It's not easy to live in troubled times. Fortune telling is fortune telling, but if you have any troublesome thoughts, I'm a little embarrassed. No matter what happened in the past, you and Qiao Wanwan are brothers from the same mother, and my friendship with her comes first. As long as you follow me, I will do my best to keep you safe - provided that you have no intentions towards us. As you said, I am indeed too selfish, and I have a distinction between the inside and the outside."

The words were very blunt - I'm tolerant of you for Qiao Wanwan's sake, so don't take it too seriously.

Qiao Banxian laughed strangely upon hearing this, hissing like a snake, which frightened Bai Zhi and made her feel very unhappy. She was about to turn around and leave when she heard him say, "There is a difference between inside and outside. Is Qiao Wanwan your inside or outside?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll leave after you ask me."

"..." Bai Zhi said with her last bit of patience, "That's fine. Just finish your meal and leave. Don't upset Doctor Jiang. She has a bad temper."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked quickly towards the sick and injured workshop, muttering, "They should leave some food for me..."

As for Qiao Banxian, after hearing the word "suan nei", his ten fingers kept shaking like willow leaves swaying in the wind. After shaking for a stick of incense, he slammed the wooden stake in front of him and smiled strangely: "... a person from the outside world, a person from the outside world, can save my sister's life."

Among the crowded houses in the south of the city, one of the rooms was packed with chattering people, who had just finished telling the troublemaker about the miraculous witchcraft of the barbarians last night.

A row of corpses of civilians with grim faces lay on the ground. Their relatives should have taken them back for burial, but Wei Fuguang stopped them with a sentence: "We need to find out the whole story so that we can avenge them."

The sun was hot and scorching today, and the room was like a steamer. When Wei Fuguang went out, he was still very neat and tidy, but now he was sweating profusely and his mouth was dry. The front and back of his official uniform were soaked with sweat.
