Chapter 17: Great Celestial Divination Technique:
Lu Yu had a new topic to discuss with Qin Sisi. The two couldn't help but chat for a few more sentences.
On the other side, Bai Qingzhi's mindset, upon receiving Lu Yu's reply, was certainly shaken.
She might be a white Lotus, but she wasn't stupid. She knew why Lu Yu attended the Bai family's banquet after getting drunk yesterday.
It was because he had seen her with Chen Bansheng in the afternoon, so he had gone for a drink alone.
But this guy couldn't let go of her even after getting drunk!
Thinking he could win her over with those few pages of contracts, Lu Yu went to the Bai family's villa with high hopes.
As for Bai Qingzhi, she knew Lu Yu liked her, but she always thought their relationship was like siblings.
She believed her true love was Chen Bansheng.
So she didn't care about Lu Yu's feelings. But her mother's words yesterday made her think more.
The Bai family couldn't afford to lose Lu Yu, a strong pillar, or they would lose a lot of money.
Moreover, her best friend had just called her and mentioned that Lu Yu seemed to have developed feelings for someone else.
This call made her feel a sense of crisis.
'Even if I don't like you, you can't fall for someone else so quickly.' That's what Bai Qingzhi thought in her heart. So after some hesitation, she decided to give Lu Yu a chance.
She thought that if she called him, even if Lu Yu wasn't happy, at least he would be polite to her.
But now... not only did he say he was busy, but hung up on her? Could it be that he really had feelings for someone else?
"Hmph, being busy doesn't mean others are too!" Bai Qingzhi suddenly figured something out and pouted, looking aggrieved. "Just because you're busy doesn't mean others aren't!"
With that, she picked up the phone again and dialed another number. The call was quickly answered by a young man with an unusually calm voice.
"Hello, Qingzhi!"
"Bansheng, are you free tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Chen Bansheng frowned. "Is something wrong?"
"Well... tomorrow we want to go to Wenqing Palace for fun. I heard you're familiar with that place. Would you be interested in being our guide?"
"Wenqing Palace?"
In a villa on the east side of Rongcheng, the long and lean young man's frowned brows relaxed, and he quickly smiled. "Heh, no problem. Tomorrow, I happen to have some business at Wenqing Palace."
"Really? That's great. But would it affect your work if you came with us? If so, I would feel bad."
"Of course not. My work isn't that important, and I can take care of it on the way."
"That's good. What time should we meet tomorrow?"
"What time?" Chen Bansheng pondered for a moment. "How about this? You guys go first, and I'll find you after I arrive."
"Okay, that works. See you tomorrow then?"
"See you tomorrow."
...
Villa!
Lu Yu didn't care that Bai Qingzhi had canceled their plan and instead made plans with Chen Bansheng.
After hanging up the call, he didn't rush to study the system. After arranging some things for Zhou Bin, he got to bed right away.
That night, everything remained calm.
Early the next morning, the same place, same people. But Lu Yu's bodyguards decreased from eight to two.
Today, Qin Sisi returned to her previous dressing style, except for her original smoky makeup. She changed into a tight tank top, ultra-short shorts, and crystal sandals, all in black.
Her wine-red curly hair was tied into a natural ponytail behind her head. She carried a super-airy shawl and wore an LV bag slung over her shoulder.
With her slender figure and black diamond earrings, paired with those snow-white straight long legs, even Lu Yu, accustomed to the life of a second-generation rich, couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds.
With this figure and this appearance... what else did he need?
Noticing Lu Yu's momentary distraction, Qin Sisi felt extremely happy. After all, pleasing oneself was pleasing others.
Being acknowledged by Lu Yu in terms of appearance was very happy for her.
"Brother Yu, here's what you wanted!" After collecting her thoughts and getting into the car, Qin Sisi immediately took out the book from her bag and handed it over.
"Mmm!" Lu Yu nodded and took it. But as soon as he got it in his hand...
[Ding, successful seizing of the protagonist's opportunity, gaining 800 Destiny points.]
"800 Destiny points? So many! This thing from the original plot is really terrifying." After a brief surprise, Lu Yu stopped thinking about it and began studying the ancient book.
It was a book like those martial arts secret manuals in movies. Flipping through a few pages, the paper was a bit yellowed, and the cover was a bit damaged. It seemed to have been around for some time. But most importantly, the title of the book...?
"Great Celestial Divination Technique?"
[Ding, discovered "Great Celestial Divination Technique," do you want to spend 100 destiny points to learn? Yes/No?]
"System, what's going on?" The system didn't respond, but in Lu Yu's eyes, an exclamation mark appeared on the ancient book in his hand! Was this... the prediction function of his eyes?
Predicting good or bad luck, and opportunities?
Lu Yu didn't know if it was the function of his eyes or the system itself, but he didn't care.
He directly clicked on the exclamation mark in his mind. Immediately, a row of information appeared in his eyes.
["Great Celestial Divination Technique": a Feng Shui ancient book in reality, spend a small amount of destiny points to learn. This treasure can evolve your 'Feng Shui' skill into 'Great Celestial Divination Technique,' with proficiency advancing to (Master).]
[Note: You need at least 'Feng Shui' to reach the (Proficient) level to use this ancient book.]
Lu Yu: "..."
At this moment, Lu Yu didn't want to say anything. He just wanted to say two words.
"I'm flying!"
