Chapter 405: Chapter 81: Master Gu (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Spring Rain Temple’s small courtyard.

The sunlight shifted.

Gradually, it moved from early morning to evening.

Gong Zi and Mu Nan merely came for a brief visit, drank a cup of tea, and then left hurriedly. From the way they rushed when they left, it was indeed possible that Eldest Young Master Gong dragged Shen Li off to the prison to find the so-called one to thirty poker table.

The one who never left all day was Luo Yu.

Fatty Luo sat at the courtyard entrance, looking around anxiously.

Today was the day the Young Master and the old master were to meet.... It was said the old master had arranged to meet the Young Master at an artificial lake in Changye to fish for the entire day.

It sounded calm and peaceful.

But in reality.... based on Luo Yu’s understanding of the Young Master, this meeting was actually charged with tension.

They might even end up arguing!

Endangering the future relationship between the "new and old factions," countless eyes of the Gu family were watching the father and son.

Nanfeng had left early to keep the appointment.

By evening, he hadn’t returned.

As they waited and waited... it was Spring Rain Temple that welcomed its second visitor.

Li Qingsui, after ending a day of busyness, arrived at Gu Family’s Villa District with Uncle Gao.

Specially because of Gu Shen, who had been missing for two days!

"Mr. Gu, you really... like to play big games, don’t you?"

The moment she entered the courtyard and saw him, Li Qingsui scoffed coldly.

She stood with her hands on her hips, scrutinizing Gu Shen carefully, from the inside out.

The Li family had covered for him the day before yesterday.

To erase Gu Shen’s tracks... Her idea was simple, she just didn’t want Wind Eye to casually spy on Gu Shen’s whereabouts, as for what Gu Shen was doing at Qingzhong, she didn’t want to delve into the details.

But she never expected.

Two days later, Gu Shen had become the inheritor of Divination Skill!

That was a type of Forbidden Technique, just like the Prayer Technique!

This news had come out so abruptly that the five major families were completely unprepared and were still in a state of confusion.

Li Qingsui curiously asked, "How come I haven’t seen you for three days, and you’ve suddenly become an inheritor of Divination?"

Gu Shen laughed and said, "Even though I’m hardly formidable, I’m still an S-level. Cultivating Master Qianye’s Divination Skill, who else is more qualified than me... Is it worth such astonishment?"

Li Qingsui snorted disdainfully.

Gu Shen’s "S-level" was indeed respected by others in Snow Forbidden City.

But after frequent contact.

In her view... it was just showing off!

"What about the second inheritor?"

Li Qingsui knew Gu Shen’s personality; he wouldn’t disclose what shouldn’t be said, and she couldn’t be bothered to ask more about the Divination matters. Instead, she directly asked about the mysterious second inheritor of Divination.

If it was said that Gu Shen was cultivating Divination, that was still reasonable.

But this second inheritor who emerged from nowhere was indeed too sudden.

"Fate must not be revealed." Gu Shen shook his head.

Li Qingsui furrowed her brows slightly, "Not even a little bit? You’re really not being loyal.... What got you being so mysterious?"

Seeing Gu Shen’s stubborn demeanor.

The young girl extended two fingers, rubbed them together, and pleaded pitifully, "Just reveal a bit, just a little bit."

"Alright...."

Gu Shen feigned difficulty and uttered four words: "A living woman."

Li Qingsui didn’t expect her intuition to be so sharp.

Her eyes lit up, watching Gu Shen’s reaction, she pressed aggressively, "Wait a minute... you don’t mean her name is two characters long, do you?"

Gu Shen looked rather complex.

He knew Li Qingsui would react quickly.

But he hadn’t expected her to be so quick.

Within a second, she had guessed the "correct answer."

What on earth was this young girl thinking about in her head... she hadn’t been mulling over his gossip these past few days, had she?

Gu Shen could only helplessly throw out four more words, saying, "No comment!"

No matter how it was heard, it was indeed a very weak denial.

Case closed!

Li Qingsui smiled broadly.

"No wonder you wouldn’t say... Turns out you wanted to keep it all to yourself." She smacked her lips, squinting and grinning, "Looking at it this way, it’s not really surprising news that you’ve been cultivating Divination. I guess you’ve probably already connected with the Tomb Guardian Master, and I bet that mysterious girl even pleaded on your behalf."

Gu Shen again had a helpless expression and reminded, "Please don’t tell anyone else."

The saint is one foot tall, the devil ten feet.

It would take a long time for Li Qingsui to realize... the perils of this world.

The information she obtained was all intentionally released by Gu Shen.

"Could you reveal a bit more?" Li Qingsui coughed, quickly trying to flatter him, "What’s the name of your future sister-in-law? What’s her surname? Do you have a photo?"

That really couldn’t be disclosed... Gu Shen shook his head with determination, "Just keep guessing."

Regarding the "second inheritor" of Divination, enough momentum had already been built.

Earlier, the Tomb Guardian Master had released the news.

Later, with the vision seen in Bai Lu’s Dream and supplemented by Li Qingsui’s gossip, the Five Major Families would quickly speculate the rough profile of this "second inheritor"... a mysterious young girl, with high calculative abilities, strong spiritual power, and the forceful capability to interpret dreams.

And... she was deeply connected with Gu Shen.

"Do you think I’m as gullible as those fools outside?" Li Qingsui scoffed, "I’ll have my sister try the ’Prayer Technique’... see if I can meet that mysterious inheritor."

Speaking of which, it was ironic.

In this matter, Gu Shen truly wasn’t afraid of the Prayer Technique at all.

If one searched through the Five Continents now, they wouldn’t be able to find this so-called "mysterious inheritor"... If Prayer Technique worked, he also wanted to meet Chu Ling.

"By the way."

Li Qingsui bounced along behind Gu Shen and asked, "Now that you’ve cultivated Divination... should we call you Master Gu from now on?"

Gu Shen could only laugh bitterly.

Master Gu?

That title sounded so much like a charlatan.

"Master Gu, can you help me take a divination?" Li Qingsui’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Gu Shen turned and looked at Li Qingsui, asking seriously, "Are you... sure?"

"Come on, come on." Li Qingsui spread out her palms, grinning, "Are you looking at palmistry or physiognomy?"

Gu Shen smiled too.

He said lightly, "Let’s just look at physiognomy."

Chibu leaped out from between his brows.

He took his time staring at Li Qingsui’s forehead for a few seconds.

Gu Shen seriously said, "You are ambitious, but there will be physical hardships ahead."

"... How is that possible? Is your divination really accurate?"

Hearing this, Li Qingsui was taken aback, her first reaction was to disbelieve.

She muttered softly, "I’m the future head of the Li family, and I have Uncle Gao looking after me when I go out, who dares to bully me?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth.

"Thud" went a sound!

The poor girl had her noggin bashed.

Her eyes nearly filled with tears, and within seconds, a red mark appeared on her fair forehead, swelling into a bump.

Li Qingsui gritted her teeth, covering her head, and glared at Gu Shen in front of her.

"Sorry about that... there really is, I just did it."

Gu Shen smiled and blew on his finger, saying, "So, is my divination accurate now? Does this count as ambition fulfilled and physical hardship?"

That finger wiggled, making its meaning very clear.

If that didn’t count... did she want another one?

Li Qingsui hurriedly stepped back, spitefully saying, "You wait, you big villain, you’ll get yours one day!"
