Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Found Dad and Mom Second Watch(4)_1

He guided Cai Wei to his room and took out a Purple Sandalwood Six Ren Plate, twelve purple sandalwood signs, along with writing materials. These were all the things required for divination.

This Six Ren Plate seemed to have some age to it, showing a thick patina on its surface. Its face was polished and smooth like water. The upper part represented the "Sky Disk" and the bottom was the "Earth Disk", symbolizing ’Heaven is round, the Earth is square.’

Manager Li washed his hands, lit incense, and bowed before the divination plate. He spun the plate and wrote the elements of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Moon General, Shi Chen and so forth on paper for divinatory calculations.

Liuren was the principal method among the Three Styles, recognized for its accuracy. Not long after, the outcome was derived - according to the divination, Tianjizi was indeed dead beyond recall, but it was unable to reveal the whereabouts of his skull.

Upon receiving the divination confirming his death, Cai Wei felt considerably relieved. Regardless, it was good that he was dead. As for the skull, it must have been a plot he hatched before his death to deprive her of peace.

After leaving Manager Li’s room and on her way to the main entrance of Xinglong Inn, Cai Wei ran into a servant who had been sent by Huo Yuan to deliver a New Year’s Gift to her family. Seeing Cai Wei, the servant joyfully said, "Humble one was about to visit Miss Mu at the mansion. May I ask when the Miss plans on embarking on the journey to Bianzhou Prefecture? We are ready to attend to you."

Cai Wei responded apologetically, "I am sorry to disappoint your boss. There was a recent incident at home which prevents me from fulfilling this trip."

Upon hearing this, disappointment set in his countenance. He asked, "May I dare ask, humble one, about the trouble at Miss’s home? Can our Young Master be of any help?"

Cai Wei smiled, "I appreciate your concern, but we do not require any help. If necessary, I would have someone seek him."

Upon saying that, Cai Wei left.

The servant hastily returned to his room, wrote a prompt account of his encounter with Cai Wei and the incident at her house, sealed it and had a boy deliver it promptly to Bianzhou Prefecture.

That boy being clever, noticed that the young Master was concerned about Miss’s family and he had sent them grand New Year gifts under pretense. They were also asked to wait for her arrival at this inn. Seeing all this, he couldn’t afford to waste time lest he stirs trouble at his Master’s prospective father-in-law’s place, as it would endanger his own skin!

After leaving the Xinglong Inn, Cai Wei was strolling around the street. As it was already the third day of the lunar calendar, many shops had opened for business. Cai Wei entered a meat shop and bought ten catties of fatty pork. Seeing a big customer, the butcher was delighted. He weighed the pork proficiently and also presented Cai Wei with a basket, in which he placed the meat.

Cai Wei lifted the basket, and immediately after leaving the shop, she stored the meat in a space. The space had been initialized and the wild boars that had been accumulated by White Tiger were gone. She had to take care of several divine beasts’ food from now on.

Cai Wei continued to shop while walking. She bought smoked chicken for Chang Mei and Brother Ying, a fish for the Great Immortal Turtle, and at last, some fish and other vegetables to share a meal with Zhao Yun and others.

When Cai Wei returned home, Chun Liu mysteriously said, "Young Miss, several people came to our home today, a total of seven or eight, both young and old alike. Upon seeing the state of our house, an old woman sat on the ground and cried, acting as if her own home was the one destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Wei sneered, "Ignore them, let them make a scene."

Without further comment, Chun Liu took the vegetable basket and scurried into the kitchen; Zhao Yun, being tactful, followed her in to help.

Cai Wei returned to the room she had stayed in the previous night, closed the door behind her, and entered the space.

The space was still desolate. The black soil, the muddied stream, the dilapidated bamboo house, and the divine beasts that had eaten their fill were all huddled in the small bamboo house, unwilling to venture out.

Cai Wei called for Chang Mei, asking it to melt the silver she had plundered from the Lü Zheng Ma Family, using the Great Immortal Turtle’s Alchemy Furnace, and recast it into ingots. She was going to the Capital soon and her family needed to buy a house and land. Using flawed silver might bring about trouble, so it needed to be melted down and recast.

Brother Ying was also summoned by her to search for her family. Cai Wei decided that once she found her parents, they would go to the Capital together and leave this place.

The White Tiger and the Great Immortal Turtle, having no tasks to perform, volunteered to help Chang Mei. The group—composed of one human and three beasts—busied themselves in the space, working for several hours on end, until Brother Ying sent them a message, causing them to stop.

"Master, I have found them!"

Brother Ying’s loud, shrilling voice was quite piercing to the ears!
