Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 501 Lu Chengyu's Background

Lu Chengyu hadn't slept. His experience last night had broadened his understanding of the world. He realized that ghosts really did exist. Moreover, the wandering spirit on the last night had said that he had a unique destiny and that if a wise person could guide him, his long-cherished wish might be fulfilled.

He did have a wish, but five years had passed since he learned the secret, and he still didn't know who to turn to.

Now, he feels he may have found his direction.

After Yunyi entered the hall, she glanced at Li Qiulan and Lu Chengyu, then ignored Lu Chengyu and looked at Li Qiulan instead: "Aunt Qiulan, let's talk over here."

“Miss Fang.” Lu Chengyu hurriedly stood up, “I…”

“Lord Lu, there’s a proper order to things. Madam Liu made the appointment yesterday, so whatever you have to do, you’ll have to wait your turn.” Yunyi turned to look at him. “Of course, if you can’t wait, you can leave first.”

“I can wait.” Lu Chengyu sat down again. He had already waited five years, so he wouldn’t care about a little more time.

Yunyi led Li Qiulan to the side hall.

Yunlu consciously guarded the door of the side hall.

"Yunyi, didn't you say you could cast a divination today? That you could find my son? Now..."

“Okay.” Yunyi nodded. “Write one word.”

Li Qiulan took a deep breath, raised her hand and wrote the character "子" on the table: "My mind is a bit confused right now, so I thought of this character."

“This character…” Yunyi pondered for a moment, “This character is very simple, with only three strokes… but the message it conveys is not simple. Zi is the first of the twelve Earthly Branches, belonging to the element of water… What I see from the character is that your son was born at the hour of Zi. Looking at the strokes of Zi, you could have grown up smoothly and become a pillar of society. However, a horizontal stroke divides the character into two parts, indicating that he was separated from his family… but not by much, or rather, very close, just a horizontal stroke away…”

"What do you mean?"

"What this word reflects is that your son is not only alive, but has been living not far from you."

"Really? Where is he?"

"You can go for a walk around the water nearby around midnight today; you should find something useful there."

“Okay, I will definitely go.” Li Qiulan nodded. “Yunyi, if I can really see my son, you will be my greatest benefactor. Even though my Li family has declined, I, Li Qiulan, still have this hundred or so pounds of strength, and I can be your slave…”

"There's no need, you've already paid." Yunyi waved her hand with a smile, "The divination fee was included in the Taotie Tower, so we've settled the matter. There's no need for that. After all, I helped you, so I've also done some good deeds."

"Okay, I understand." Li Qiulan left happily.

Yunyi rested for a while before getting up and returning to the hall. An hour had passed, but Lu Chengyu was still sitting there, without even changing his posture. When he saw Yunyi come in, he hurriedly stood up.

"You're quite persistent."

"Sister Yunyi, I have a favor to ask of you." Lu Chengyu looked at Yunyi, "I'll pay any price." Although he wasn't very familiar with this girl, they often saw each other in the capital. He never expected that an accident would make her so capable.

“I can help you.” Yunyi sat down. “I’ll cast a divination for you. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. After the divination, you can do whatever you want.”

"it is good."

"A fortune telling is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and I will not cheat you, young or old." Yunlu stepped forward and extended her hand.

Lu Chengyu hurriedly pulled out two silver notes: "Two thousand." He breathed a sigh of relief. He had met Chen Guoliang before coming and knew that this woman was very expensive at exorcising ghosts, so he had brought ten thousand taels with him. Now that she wanted one thousand taels, he would be generous.

"I said it would cost a thousand gold coins for a divination." Yun Yi picked up one of the silver notes and put it back into Lu Chengyu's heart. "It will solve the problem you came here to ask about. As for other things, those will be calculated separately."

"Okay." Lu Chengyu put the silver note away.

Yunyi took out five ancient coins, asked Lu Chengyu about his birth date and time, and then cast the divination three times. However, her expression was somewhat complicated: "You came here this time to ask about your background, right?"

"How did you know?" Lu Chengyu was stunned, because he hadn't said anything.

"It comes from the divination." Yunyi pointed to the five-emperor coins on the table. "The divination I just gave you is the Need hexagram, with Kan above and Qian below. It is considered moderately auspicious. A bright pearl has been buried deep in the soil for a long time, without any light or brightness. Suddenly, a strong wind blows away the soil, and it will naturally be revealed again."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that your past was buried in dust, and now it's about to be revealed."

Lu Chengyu frowned, still somewhat confused.

"You only came to see me because you saw a ghost, didn't you?"

Lu Chengyu nodded.

"You want me to go to the ghost realm to find someone for you, right?"

Lu Chengyu nodded again.

"But the person you're looking for isn't in the ghost realm; they're still in the human world."

"Really?" Lu Chengyu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Where is she? She..."

"That's a different matter," Yunyi said, looking at him with a half-smile.

“Then I’ll cast another divination, I…” Lu Chengyu said, taking out another coin.

"I can cast three divinations a day, but only one divination can be cast for the same person per day. If you want to have your divination done, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"What kind of ridiculous rule is this?" Lu Chengyu couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

Yunyi's lips curled up slightly: "The person you are looking for is related to your identity. You doubt your own identity, and now, this divination can clearly tell you that your doubts are correct."

Lu Chengyu's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't told anyone about this, yet the other party had actually been able to calculate it. It seemed they were indeed quite capable.

"As for your biological mother, she is not far from you. The divination indicates that if you let things take their course, you will see her soon."

"Okay." Lu Chengyu nodded. "Thank you, Sister Yunyi."

"Also, I need to remind you of something: your forehead is dark, which means you're facing a life-threatening crisis."

Lu Chengyu frowned: "Since Sister Yunyi has spoken, she must have a way to resolve this, right?"

"Yes." Yunyi nodded. "One thousand taels."

Lu Chengyu's lips twitched, and he hurriedly took out a thousand taels and handed it over.

"Keep this with you at all times." Yunyi took out a talisman folded into a triangular shape. "Never let this talisman leave your side. It will surely avert your death within three days."

Although they won't die, they will be seriously injured, and then they can earn some income from treatment.

Lu Chengyu took the amulet, put it in his inner pocket, then clasped his hands in farewell to Yun Yi and left.
