Mr. Shen nodded, "Besides, the young lady is our savior. Now she's cleaning up our mess. We're more than grateful to her."

"Thank you, Miss Gu!" Xiao Shen Qingyan bowed again in thanks. Gu Xixi smiled and sighed. He was indeed as courteous as ever.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen exchanged a glance. Mr. Shen then asked, "Why did you send that Third Master to Xilan County just now, Miss? Do you know how to tell fortunes?"

Knowing something is necessary...

"If you are skilled in divination, could you also tell Mu Zhi's fortune? We will pay you for the consultation." Madam Shen believed that people from reclusive families who came out of seclusion were usually highly skilled.

The opportunity to seek guidance from an expert is truly rare. Now that their family has fallen on hard times, being able to get a divination to predict their child's future is extremely valuable.

Gu Xixi: ……

However, she did have something to say...

"Um……"

The moment Gu Xixi hesitated, Xiao Shen Qingyan understood her meaning and stepped aside. Only then did Gu Xixi speak to Shen's parents, "Young Master is not a fish in a pond. He is destined to be the top scholar in both the civil and military fields. But we must not tell him about this, lest something unexpected happens."

"Furthermore, the young master will be appointed as an official in Xilan County in the future, where he will face a calamity... After my reputation spreads, you must immediately leave the capital and hide your whole family until the disaster is over. Only in this way can he get through this calamity."

In this way, Shen Qingyan will have no worries about retaliating when she is framed by those people.

The system says history cannot be changed, and that's all she said, so it shouldn't matter, right?

If the system didn't block it, then it's okay.

Moreover, their memories will be erased... how much they will remember will depend on fate.

As for Shen Qingyan's death from stomach cancer, Gu Xixi opened her mouth to try and say more... Sure enough, she couldn't say anything about the predetermined fate and ending; her throat simply wouldn't produce a sound.

"Thank you for telling me, young lady, but my son is currently unable to attend a private school because of his studies, so he cannot participate in the imperial examinations. Please show me the way." Father Shen was about to kneel down.

Gu Xixi had already said too much, and revealing any more would be impossible, so he could only beg to give it a try.

Startled, Gu Xixi immediately helped Shen's father up and blurted out, "Go find Lord Chen Yanxu and become his disciple!"

The moment the words left her mouth, Gu Xixi was struck by another thunderbolt. So, the master-disciple relationship between Chen Yanxu and Shen Qingyan was also something she had brought about.

“So you even know about Lord Chen, Miss… Mu Zhi was taught by Lord Chen when he was young, but now… We’ve thought about it before, but we were afraid… Since you’ve said so, Miss, let’s give it a try.”

Mr. Shen suddenly realized that Gu Xixi was a prophet and a hermit. He was even more convinced of Gu Xixi's identity as a hermit.

Gu Xixi gave a perfunctory reply, but her heart was pounding wildly.

This creates another closed loop!

The version of the fresh grass cake she ate in Qingfeng County before came from what she said in the time travel... Now the system directly indicates that Cheng Sanye will be a constable in Xilan County, and Shen Qingyan will also go there in the future, so it may also be a closed loop event.

Now, the master-disciple relationship between Chen Yanxu and Shen Qingyan has been renewed because of her... If it happens more than three times, then it can no longer be called a coincidence.

So the significance of her coming here is to complete the loop of historical events?

She is a small, obscured part of the history of the Great Huang Dynasty... and also a small, obscured part of Shen Qingyan's life...

Therefore, Shen Qingyan holds a very important position in the system, unlike ordinary trading partners...

After all, there are so many trading partners in the three thousand worlds, so why do the system rules pay so much attention to Shen Qingyan?

Gu Xixi had a bold idea in her mind. The possibility of it filled her with excitement and shock; her heart was pounding in her chest: [Brother Tongzi… Shen Qingyan, is he still alive?]

This time, the system did not answer her immediately, and Gu Xixi did not give up and stop listening as she usually did when she couldn't get an answer.

After a tense standoff lasting several seconds, the system finally replied: [Dead. Shen Qingyan, belonging to the Great Huang Dynasty, is dead!]

[So Shen Qingyan belongs to another world, right?] Gu Xixi's mouth and brain worked in sync, and she couldn't contain her joy.

Even if Shen Qingyan is no longer in the same world as her, such a good person is good enough as long as he is alive.

system:【……】

【Brother Tongzi?】Gu Xixi pressed on relentlessly, urging her to tell him quickly, as long as she was told he was still alive, and that Shen Qingyan was still alive, that would be enough.

However, the system voice suddenly turned into a cold, mechanical voice: [Non-supermarket transaction related issues, please stop the conversation.]

The system then displayed that the system had gone offline.

Gu Xixi: ……

"Miss Gu? Miss?" Madam Shen called several times, but Gu Xixi did not respond. She immediately tapped Gu Xixi's forehead, hoping that she would come to her senses.

Xiao Shen Qingyan also came back, and together with her father, they looked at her with puzzlement and worry.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly got lost in thought. By the way, I'd like to wander around the city and the surrounding area tomorrow to buy some things for the trip. Would you and Aunt Shen be willing to come with me?"

"Of course, of course!" Mother Shen immediately agreed, and then solemnly invited Gu Xixi to go home to continue resting. The four of them walked leisurely in the woods, and the more Xiao Shen Qingyan looked at Gu Xixi, the more familiar she seemed.

But he was certain that this was the first time they had met.

Meanwhile, throughout the county, the thugs, having collected all the valuables from their own homes, were rushing to each house to apologize and beg for forgiveness, even with their limp and broken arms.

When they knocked on the door and were questioned, they dared not make a sound, fearing that others would hear them and be afraid to open the door, thus preventing them from apologizing and being captured by the Demon King again.

Xiaoyue's family had been bullied several times. As soon as Xiaoyue's father opened the door and saw a group of thugs outside, he looked terrified and immediately tried to close the door.

"You guys, are you even robbing people in the middle of the night now? Heaven has no eyes!"

As he wailed, a group of thugs suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him. The black shadows were so dense that they were hard to see, but they looked like ghosts and were terrifying!

"We shouldn't have bullied you before, and we won't bully you again. Please forgive our mistakes. Here are the coins we stole from you before, a total of 88 coins, not a single one missing. This chicken is a gift as an apology. Please accept it."

After the leader finished speaking, the other thugs also offered their apology gifts: some were eggs, some were fruit, some were vegetables, and some were pieces of meat...

In just a few moments, a huge pile of grain was stacked up in front of Xiaoyue's father.

Xiaoyue's dad: !! !! ? ? ?

What's wrong with these thugs?!

This... this is giving them money and things instead? Is he possessed by a ghost, or does he want to kill them?!
