Chapter 513: 513 (second update)

Mo Qingyi turned her head and, seeing Mo Zhixuan, she paused, then said somewhat dumbly, "Brother, how did you get here so fast?" They had just mentioned the door was broken, and Mo Zhixuan had shown up already? And...he fixed the door?

Chu Jin felt even guiltier, berating herself, He’s definitely doing this on purpose, definitely on purpose! Such insidiousness, it’s infuriating!

Mo Zhixuan lifted his eyes to glance at Mo Qingyi, his gaze filled with endless chill, making Mo Qingyi feel rather spine-chilling; despite it being the midst of summer, she felt cold.

"This door, it broke last night." After a moment, Mo Zhixuan finally said just that and then, bypassing Chu Jin and Mo Qingyi, he calmly walked outside.

His expression remained the unchanging iceberg look, aloof and frosty.

As if he was a sovereign looking down upon the world.

The door was broken last night? Mo Qingyi was confused. Didn’t big brother Chu just say that it broke this morning? And from what Mo Zhixuan implied, it seemed like he was here last night!

Even if Mo Qingyi was naive, she now sensed something, no wonder Big Brother Chu took so long to open the door!

Damn! Mo Qingyi’s thoughts grew more thrilled! She hadn’t expected Big Brother Chu to be so fierce! Damn, Big Brother Chu is indeed Big Brother Chu! So impressive!

Mo Qingyi filled her mind with many scenarios and was extremely excited.

Once Mo Zhixuan was far enough away, Mo Qingyi came back to her senses and, with a mischievous grin, turned to Chu Jin, "Big Brother Chu, oh Big Brother Chu, I never imagined you would be this kind of Big Brother Chu. Look what you’ve done to my brother!"

She tormented Mo Zhixuan?

Chu Jin looked at Mo Qingyi speechlessly. This girl’s thought process was rather unique! She actually thought that it was she who had ’tormented’ Mo Zhixuan!

Chu Jin reached out to knock on Mo Qingyi’s head, "You not-so-innocent young lady, could you please fill your head with something slightly purer?"

Mo Qingyi’s face was lit with excitement.

"I’m going to change clothes." Chu Jin quickly ran toward the washroom.

Left behind, Mo Qingyi stood there, not knowing what silly thing she was smiling about...

Ha ha ha! She could laugh about this joke for a whole day.

About half an hour later, Chu Jin, having freshened up and changed into a dress, came out of the washroom.

She had thought Mo Qingyi would have gone back to her room by now, but unexpectedly, Mo Qingyi was still waiting by the door. As soon as she saw Chu Jin come out, she immediately came over, "Big Brother Chu, I really admire you!"

Mo Qingyi must be losing her mind! Half an hour had passed, and she was still thinking about that!

Chu Jin looked at her somewhat helplessly, "If I tell you that nothing actually happened between me and your brother, that we are innocent, would you believe me?"

Mo Qingyi snorted, "Of course I don’t believe it. Do you think I’m a three-year-old?" Please, after all that, and nothing happened? Unless her brother was impotent!

"If you don’t believe it, that’s fine," Chu Jin touched her stomach and changed the subject, "I’m so hungry, let’s go downstairs to eat."

"Hungry?" Mo Qingyi suddenly widened her eyes as if she had discovered something incredible. She turned her gaze to Chu Jin’s stomach and exclaimed with surprise, "Big Brother Chu, you couldn’t be, could you? I heard Auntie Tong say that pregnant women get hungry easily. What do you want to eat? I’ll have the chef make it right away."

The girl must truly be going crazy! Chu Jin sighed helplessly, "You’re thinking too much; I’m just simply hungry, that’s all."

"Big Brother Chu, I’m serious. After all, what was meant to happen last night already happened. Nothing’s impossible," Mo Qingyi composed herself, "You should be careful during this time. Oh, do you crave something sour or spicy? I heard Auntie Tong say, ’sour for a boy, spicy for a girl.’"

This child is really poisoned too deeply! She can even associate it with pregnancy! A million grass mud horses galloped through Chu Jin’s heart at once.

"You think you can get pregnant after just one night? A little common sense, please? Do you think getting pregnant is like eating sunflower seeds? Crack and eat, get pregnant just like that? Let’s go, it’s time to eat downstairs!" Chu Jin said, pushing Mo Qingyi towards the door.

Mo Qingyi, hesitant to move, was adamantly unwilling to leave, wearing a naughty smile while poking Chu Jin, "Big brother Jin, you still won’t admit it, still saying you and my brother are innocent?"

Done for! Completely done for! There was no clearing this up; not only had he failed to clarify things, but he’d also managed to tangle himself up even more.

Chu Jin was on the verge of tears, truly wishing he could dig a hole on the spot and bury himself in it.

Seeing Chu Jin silent, Mo Qingyi lowered her voice again, "Big brother Jin, let me ask you something." She said mysteriously.

Chu Jin got his emotions in check, "What is it?"

Mo Qingyi stood on her tiptoes and whispered in her ear, "...is it really true?" Gossip is a girl’s nature, and Mo Qingyi was no exception, especially at her sensitive age when she couldn’t contain her curiosity.

Chu Jin was speechless, patting her on the head, "Do you still want to go downstairs to eat or not? If you keep this up, I’m going to ignore you." With that, he stepped towards the door.

Mo Qingyi hurried to catch up, "Big brother Jin, don’t walk so fast, come on, tell me, is it really true or not?"

"Do you really want to know?" Chu Jin suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Mo Qingyi.

"Mm-hmm." Mo Qingyi nodded eagerly.

Chu Jin gave her a radiant smile, blinking his eyes slightly, "I won’t tell you, let you agonize over it!"

With the beauty’s smile so mesmerizing, Mo Qingyi nearly got lost in it without reacting.

A moment later, she came to her senses and caught up with Chu Jin, "Big brother Jin, are you happy after teasing me like that?"

The two of them played around all the way down the stairs, laughing and joking together.

Their bell-like laughter instantly spread across the entire estate.

Even the servants working in the estate started to move more lightly.

In the dining room, Elder Mrs. Mo and Mo Zhixuan were already sitting at the table.

Tong Zhi and Yonglingsi were also present.

Accompanied by laughter, the two girls came from afar, and almost simultaneously, the few people at the table turned their gaze towards the source of the sounds.

At that glance, they were all stunned.

They saw two young girls approaching through the light, both faces adorned with a faint smile, alike in build, dressed in the same outfits, looking like exquisite figures stepping out of a painting, beautiful, bright, and charming.

Although they were both dressed in black and white dresses, they were styled with different features.

Each with their own unique grace.

One with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, skin surpassing snow, eyes like stars, with dimples on the corners of her lips that seemed to draw people in, and bewitching peach-blossom eyes filled with shimmering light. She was enveloped by an air of ethereal elegance, akin to a secluded orchid in a valley, otherworldly, tranquil, intimidating yet captivating.

The other with delicate features, fair skin, a typical melon-seed face, her bright, dark cat-like eyes slightly hooked, blinking as if they could speak, exuding an air of otherworldly grace that separated her from the ordinary. Noble, refined, pure as moonlight.

Such a pair walking together was simply out of this world beautiful. It must be said, this Mo Qingyi, when she gets serious, indeed looks the part.

Chu Jin and Mo Qingyi walked to the table, politely greeted everyone in turn, and then sat down.

"Now that everyone’s here, let’s start the meal," said Mrs. Mo, waving her chopsticks before turning to look at Master Yongling, "Master Yongling, I apologize for the modest meal and hope you don’t mind."

"Not at all, not at all, this is quite nice," Master Yongling replied, picking up a bun and starting to eat it eagerly, as if he were in his own home without a hint of reservation.

While eating, Tong Zhi seemed to notice something unusual about Mo Zhixuan’s chin and asked with curiosity, "Zhixuan, what happened to your chin?" It looked as though he might have been bitten by something, yet Tong Zhi didn’t dwell on it; she was simply concerned for Mo Zhixuan.

After all, her nephew was so capable, and it was indeed rare for him to show any signs of injury.

Mo Zhixuan sipped his white porridge with an air of composure, "Nothing, just a small dog bite."

"Ah? A dog bite?" Tong Zhi froze for a moment, slow to process the statement.

Chu Jin just happened to choke on a mouthful of porridge, coughing violently as it got stuck in her throat.

Mr. Mo quickly reached out to pat her back, saying gently, "What are you, a child? Can’t you eat a bit slower..."

Seeing this, everyone at the table revealed knowing smiles, their minds automatically filling in a myriad of possible truths behind the matter.

The meal ended relatively peacefully.

After the meal, Master Yongling looked at Chu Jin with a benevolent smile and said, "Miss Jin, I see that you have an extraordinary physique and exceptional talent for martial arts that comes once in a century. I’d like to take you as my disciple and pass on all my knowledge to you. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, a twitch formed at the corner of Chu Jin’s mouth, thinking how familiar this speech sounded to her.

Drama queen.

That’s what it was—a drama queen! It is said that every martial arts master has had a similar encounter.

Actually, Master Yongling had wanted to say this to Chu Jin last night, but he just hadn’t found the right opportunity. He had always been the one sought after for apprenticeship, and had never taken the initiative to take on a disciple before. Unsure how to begin, he had looked up these lines on Baidu and memorized them for quite some time.

He didn’t mess up, did he? Master Yongling looked at Chu Jin with anticipation, feeling nervous about taking the initiative to accept a disciple for the first time...

Chu Jin smiled slightly, "I’m sorry, senior, but I don’t plan on studying under a master for now. Besides, I haven’t even graduated from college yet. Let’s talk about it after I graduate."

She was busy at the moment—who had time to take on a master and learn martial arts? She still had a long-term mission to complete and a past life’s vengeance to avenge!

In fact, Chu Jin’s response was within Master Yongling’s expectations; it wouldn’t have been like her to readily agree to become his disciple.

"No worries, Miss Jin. I can wait. Besides, I’ve already calculated it—we have a predestined master-disciple relationship. You will become my disciple sooner or later," Master Yongling continued, seeing Chu Jin’s incredulous expression, "You may not believe it, but my fortune-telling is very accurate."

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Senior, you know how to tell fortunes too?"

"Of course, I am proficient in both the scholarly and martial arts," said Master Yongling, stroking his beard with a confident air.

"Coincidentally, I also know a thing or two about occult arts," Chu Jin said with a slight squint and a shallow smile, "Why don’t I do a reading for you, senior?"

It had been a while since she had collected any Faith Value, and with so many people around, she was sure to earn quite a bit.

Excited by the proposition, Master Yongling replied, "Yes, yes, how do you play?" He loved playing, and he had not expected his disciple to have this skill.

Hearing the two of them discuss this, Mrs. Mo and everyone else at the table became interested, all watching Chu Jin intently.

They all had heard that Chu Jin was none other than the renowned ’Master Chu,’ but no one except Mo Zhixuan had seen her true capabilities. Now, they finally had the chance, and the elderly Mrs. Mo was visibly delighted. Her daughter-in-law was truly defying the heavens.

With a faint motion of her fingertips, a deck of Tarot cards suddenly appeared in her palm, their blue surfaces shimmering with a mysterious light under the illumination.

Tarot cards originated from the West, and they were mysterious and ancient. It was the first time Tong Zhi had seen Tarot cards, and he looked at Chu Jin, puzzled, not understanding what she wanted to do. They had agreed on divination, but with her setup, it seemed she might start a game of ’Fight the Landlord’ instead!

While everyone was lost in thought, Chu Jin had already begun shuffling the cards quickly. Her hands moved so swiftly and fluidly that the Tarot cards seemed to come to life under her fingers, mesmerizing the onlookers.

Those nearby, along with Tong Zhi, all stared in amazement, nearly ready to break into applause. His disciple was indeed talented in many ways!

Whoosh—

A ’Sacred Triangle’ card spread lay before everyone.

Chu Jin looked up at Tong Zhi, "Senior, please tell me what you would like to divine."

Seeing her serious demeanor, Tong Zhi also put away the smile on his face, stroking his beard and saying, "Then let’s divine my fortune. Oh, and the way you just shuffled those cards with such a whoosh, could you teach me that someday?"

This was the legendary ’coolness’ that lasts no more than three seconds.

Chu Jin gave him a resigned look and then said, "Sure, now please draw three cards at random."

Tong Zhi paused, then asked, "Three cards?" Can you play ’Fight the Landlord’ with three cards?

His disciple must be feverish, right?

Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, three cards."

Suppressing his doubts, Tong Zhi drew the first card.

Upright: Two of Wands.

On the card, a man dressed in a lord’s attire stood atop his castle wall, gazing over his vast domain and out toward the distant ocean.

In his right hand, he held an orb resembling a globe, while his left rested on a staff. To his right, another wand was secured to the wall with a metal hoop. The wall bore a pattern where a lily and a rose intersected.

The lily symbolized pure thought, and the red rose, passion. It suggested a necessary balance between the two.

The man on the card stood at the apex of the world, yet was not immune to the anguish of sorrow.

This was a card that represented the past.

Getting the Two of Wands as the first card was something Chu Jin had not encountered before.

She looked at the card, her red lips parting slightly, "Senior, you have had quite a rich life experience, having encountered great ups and downs in your early years, especially eighteen years ago. You faced betrayal but also gained something unexpectedly. Hmm,"

As she spoke, Chu Jin pointed to the wall beneath the man’s feet on the card and continued, "Sometimes, seeing is not always believing, and hearing is not always deceiving. It’s cold at the top; you’ve stood above the walls and have been entangled in the mundane world. In fact, you still have an unresolved issue in your heart, related to the word ’fairness.’ Am I right or not?"

Tong Zhi might look like a carefree old man on the outside, but deep down, he was not like that. He was a person with profound thoughts and never revealed his true characteristics in front of others.

What piqued Chu Jin’s curiosity, though, was that Tong Zhi’s experience happened eighteen years ago, which was also when Mo Zhixuan left the Superpower World. Could there be a connection between the two?

Tong Zhi had thought that Chu Jin was just humoring him, but to his surprise, she had some genuine skill. She recounted his past without missing a single word. Had it not been for the events of eighteen years ago, he wouldn’t be here today. He wouldn’t have stumbled upon and taken over that organization by chance, nor would he have assumed the responsibility of guarding the ’Phoenix Order.’
