Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Yu Qiaoyun naturally agreed to Li Yinyin's request, after all, she didn't want to have those experiences in the first half of her life.

Who would want to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance at a young age, when they can be pampered and loved by their parents?

Yu Qiaoyun stroked Li Yinyin's hair and praised her with a smile, "Yinyin has grown up. She knows to consult with others first when encountering problems. That's very good."

“But I still couldn’t help much,” Li Yinyin nestled in her sister-in-law’s arms, her stomach rumbling.

She looked a little embarrassed, but Yu Qiaoyun gently patted her shoulder: "I had someone prepare food early this morning, just waiting for you to wake up so you can eat."

Li Yinyin got up and washed, and Yu Qiaoyun helped her fix her hair. Looking at her younger sister, who was almost a young woman, Yu Qiaoyun sighed and comforted her, saying, "You can only do what you are capable of. Yinyin, although you regret that you couldn't save them, if you acted rashly, would you really have been able to save them?"

"The greater possibility is that you and your family will be implicated."

"So it's not wrong for you to consult with Xiao Liu first. It's also not wrong that we were unable to rescue everyone due to unforeseen circumstances. If you want to blame someone, you can only say it was bad luck."

"But as you said, once we have enough power in the future, any misfortune will be crushed in the face of absolute strength. Although it may be a little late, it will address the root cause, and we will be able to help more people, won't we?"

Li Yinyin knew her sister-in-law was trying to comfort her, but she appreciated her intentions.

The Yin family remains a behemoth to the Li family. However, in the near future, once the power of the plot has subsided, Li Yinyin hopes to possess enough strength to destroy the Yin family and truly eradicate the darkness from its roots.

After the meal, Yu Qiaoyun intended for her to rest a little longer, but she couldn't sit still. After fiddling with the fortune-telling plate for a while, she said that she wanted to take advantage of the fortune-teller's home to learn his skills.

When Li Yinyin entered Banxian'er's courtyard, she was surprised to find that Banxian'er was brewing tea under the eaves.

"Master, you have such refined tastes."

The fortune teller looked up at her, turned over a new cup, poured tea into it, and placed it opposite him.

Li Yinyin understood, sat down in front of the cup, picked up the cup, blew on it, and then took a small sip: "Good tea, good water, all thanks to the master's excellent skills."

The fortune teller curled his lips into a smile: "With such a sweet tongue, do you need something from me?"

"Master is so insightful," Li Yinyin laughed. "Master, I didn't fall asleep on my own yesterday."

The fortune teller picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and stopped Li Yinyin from saying what she was about to say: "I know."

Just three words were enough to make Li Yinyin obediently hold her teacup and sit still.

“I told you not to think about it anymore, but you didn’t listen at all,” the fortune teller sighed. “Your stubbornness is just like Li Chengming’s in the past.”

Li Yinyin looked up at him curiously: "My brother is like that too?"

The fortune teller nodded: "Knowing it was impossible, he still did it, and yet he still managed to make it happen."

"What is it?" Li Yinyin pressed, "I haven't heard of it before."

The fortune teller's gaze swept past the main courtyard before settling back on Li Yinyin. He flicked her forehead: "Such a young age, yet so curious. Hurry up and tell me what you want to do."

Li Yinyin rubbed her head: "Master, I still want to save those people."

"Even if they are just the tip of the iceberg, there will always be a continuous stream of people being arrested after you save these few. You can't save them all one by one."

She understood what the fortune teller was saying: "Is it because I want to ease my conscience? If I hadn't encountered this, it would have been fine, but now that I have, I can't stop thinking about it."

"The fact that you still care shows that you have a kind heart and compassion, and that you are a good person," the fortune teller said gently. "It's just that you can't save them."

Li Yinyin didn't believe it.

The fortune teller asked her, "You came to find me, didn't you already know that you couldn't find me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yinyin's expression became somewhat strained; perhaps she understood what he meant.

Regardless of whether the calculation is right or wrong, there will always be a result. This is the first time Li Yinyin has encountered a situation where she can't find anyone at all.

Considering that she had a headache so bad that she fainted, but when she woke up she had just had a good sleep and was completely unharmed, Li Yinyin guessed that one or several of the children and girls who were taken away would be connected to the plot in the future.

At this point, Li Yinyin suddenly felt less upset. Being connected to the plot meant they were all alive and well. After all, the plot that the public saw, with a few exceptions, was generally the positive side.

“Thank you for your guidance, Master,” Li Yinyin then asked, “Master, you see I’ve fainted, which shows I’m being closely watched. Do you think you should teach me something else so that I won’t be completely helpless when facing threats?”

The fortune teller glanced at her and said the same thing: "Don't bite off more than you can chew; it's not the right time yet."

Li Yinyin was a little disappointed, but she didn't press the matter further: "Alright then, I'll continue practicing what you taught me, Master."

Li Yinyin sighed, took out the ink jade destiny plate, and sat down to calculate whether the child she had rescued would survive.

Fortunately, the outcome was good. The astrological chart showed that the child survived this near-death experience and would live to be over seventy without illness or disaster. In today's world, that is an extremely old age.

Li Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief and planned to visit the child later.

Suddenly, the fortune teller chimed in, "By the way, the beauty you requested is already at the manor."

The stunning beauty already in the manor?

Li Yinyin tilted her head and thought for a moment.

The only newcomer to the household is that dirty child.

"No way," Li Yinyin said with a clear refusal. "Even if a child is stunningly beautiful, it's too much. Let's not go see her later."

The fortune teller, having thoroughly enjoyed the rejection on her face, spoke with a hint of malice.

"What a pity, she was a girl, and your relationship with her was only that of a master and servant."

Li Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a forced smile: "Master, do you think you have a good sense of humor?"
