Chapter 600: 519 Gaining Fame in the Divination Circle! The Lin Family Seeks Audience with Emperor Ying [2 Updates] Chapter 600: 519 Gaining Fame in the Divination Circle! The Lin Family Seeks Audience with Emperor Ying [2 Updates] Master Lou only felt as though he had been frozen in place, unable to move.

However, there was clearly no sign of wind anywhere else except where he stood.

This was an array formation!

Diviners could use formations to perform simple acts like calling the wind or summoning the rain.

It was just like the rain prayers in ancient times.

Yet he hadn’t noticed when an array formation had been set up here!

Master Lou was filled with shock and terror.

At that moment, Ying Zijin’s hand moved.

“Crack.”

A crisp sound echoed as the wooden sword snapped in response.

And in that moment, the wind suddenly grew stronger.

All the diviners around could clearly see Master Lou’s black short hair turn white at a visibly rapid speed.

This was the consumption of his very life essence!

Master Lou Wenhai was 72 years old this year, yet his hair was still black; now, it had returned to its natural state.

His fortune for the future had indeed been stripped away.

Consequently, his life essence had also been prematurely consumed.

“You, you—” Master Lou could feel it too, and he abruptly looked up at the girl, both shocked and angry, “Who are you? Who are you, really?!”

Ying Zijin’s expression didn’t change as she suppressed her voice and chuckled lightly, “Who am I?”

“I will find out even if you don’t tell me!” Master Lou Wenhai’s fingers moved ceaselessly as he performed calculations, faster and faster, but in an instant, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The people around exclaimed in shock, “Master Lou!”

Master Lou’s mouth opened, and blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth; his eyes wide, he gasped out, “Why—”

He didn’t finish his sentence, as his body fell to the ground heavily.

Before completely losing consciousness, Master Lou had only one thought.

Why couldn’t he calculate it?!

And why was it that just by calculating someone’s name, he would suffer such a severe backlash?!

Even when he had previously helped a family change the fortune of their entire clan, nothing like this had ever happened.

“…”

The surroundings fell deathly silent.

And from beginning to end, Ying Zijin had only broken a wooden sword.

She didn’t look at Master Lou lying on the ground but walked away instead.

The others subconsciously cleared a path for her.

And it was only after the girl had left that everyone came to their senses and panic set in.

“Master!”

“Master, please wait!”

“Master, please take me as your disciple!”

But by the time they caught up, the girl was already gone.

A middle-aged man stood in place, taking a sharp intake of breath, muttering, “Now that is a true master…”

In comparison, what was Master Lou Wenhai?

With this, the entire Divination Circle of Hua Country was set to be shaken.

At the foot of the mountain.

Di Wu Yue casually took away the snacks from the gathering and followed Ying Zijin as they left.

She had seen everything that happened before.

“Fuck!” Di Wu Yue suddenly burst out, “Miss, he didn’t end up like that just because he calculated your name, did he?”

Ying Zijin brushed off the dust on her sleeve and raised her eyebrow slightly, “That’s why I’ve told you before – calculate less, and never calculate me.”

She had not easily changed Di Wu Yue’s life pattern, and she didn’t want Di Wu Yue to go down the same path as Di Wu Shaoxian because of calculating her affairs.

“Oh my god.” Choking on the snacks, Di Wu Yue struggled, “I won’t calculate, I won’t calculate. I won’t do it unless it’s critical.”

After thinking for a bit, she asked, “But when did you set up the formation?”

What Di Wu Yue hated most was setting up formations because the books about them were very complicated.

“Didn’t you notice that after I took you in there, we walked around in a circle?”

“Wow, I thought you were taking me for a walk so that I could eat more snacks later, but you were actually setting up a formation.”

“Old Mr. Chuan, I think Di Wu Yue could use some more book learning.” Ying Zijin gripped her phone and called Di Wu Chuan, “How about ‘Home Scripture’ and ‘The Book of Poverty and Access’?”

‘Home Scripture’ was about feng shui, and ‘The Book of Poverty and Access’ was for divination.

On the other end of the phone, Di Wu Chuan, upon hearing this, nodded continuously as if he had found a kindred spirit, “The Great Ancestor thinks so too? Just like old me.”

“I’ve already printed out the books for her, originally planning to have Xiao Feng, Xiao Hua, and Xiao Xue recite them when they return from their trials. But since the Great Ancestor suggests so, it’s better to have Yueyue start memorizing them earlier.”

After all, Di Wu Yue was really too disobedient, and it was necessary to force her to study.

Meanwhile, Di Wu Yue had just taken a second bite of her snack when she received a call from Di Wu Chuan.

After listening, she forced a laugh, “Granddad, the wind’s too strong, I can’t hear—”

“Today is windless.” Ying Zijin looked at the sky thoughtfully, her voice slow, “Suitable for book learning.”

“…”

The news of the Judicial Hall’s upcoming election for a new officiant had spread among the major clans of the Ancient Martial World.

The Lin, Xie, and Yue Families each had a candidate to participate in the election.

The Lin Family’s candidate was the brother of Lin Jinyun.

Lin Jinyun took this election of officiant very seriously.

Upon returning from the Judicial Hall, he immediately summoned the steward, “Where is Lou Wenhai? I need to see him.”

Ever since Di Wu Hui offended someone and was stripped of his Divination Ability by the Di Wu Family, the Lin Family had been short of an Imperial Fortune Teller.

Lou Wenhai was also one of the Lin Family’s Imperial Fortune Tellers.

Without the Xie Family’s good fortune to have a Divination expert like the Great Elder, the Lin Family had to recruit others.

Actually, there were quite a few Diviners in Hua Country, most living in seclusion. It’s very possible that a powerful Diviner was hidden in some small county town.

Indeed, when the Lin Family members encountered An Roujin and her daughter, Lin Qingjia, outside, they were actually out to recruit Diviners and unexpectedly found a genius in Ancient Martial Arts.

The steward replied very respectfully, “Reporting to the family head, Master Lou is in the Secular World. He went out for a celebrity who requested his services not long ago and hasn’t returned yet.”

Diviners of Lou Wenhai’s level were quite well-known in their circle and many people would seek them out.

“Good,” Lin Jinyun nodded, “ask him to return as soon as possible to perform a divination on this officiant election matter.”

The steward immediately set out to contact Lou Wenhai.

After about fifteen minutes, he rushed back, his expression frantic, “Family head, something happened, Master Lou has been hospitalized!”

Lin Jinyun frowned, “What happened?”

The steward recounted the incident on Jade Pine Mountain, shivering, “It’s caused a stir in the Divination Circle.”

Not only Lin Jinyun but also the Great Elder was taken aback, “Is there really such a person?”

Only a Diviner could unnerve Master Lou, a great Divination expert, in such a subtle way.

Someone stronger than Lou Wenhai!

Perhaps even more powerful than the Great Elder of the Xie Family.

The Great Elder’s expression turned grave, “Could it be one of the younger generation from the Di Wu Family?”

The saying that a Diviner gets stronger with age isn’t wrong because there’s so much for them to learn.

Only a Divination Family would have the vast resources needed for such training.

“Reporting to the Great Elder, no,” the steward wiped his sweat, “but according to some Diviners at the gathering, it seems that Miss Yue of the Di Wu Family was spotted there, definitely not the great master.”

The Great Elder’s brow furrowed.

If not the Di Wu Family, when did the Divination Circle gain such a young Diviner?

From the steward’s description, it also wasn’t one of the Fortune Tellers from O continent.

“Jinyun, we must invite this master to our Lin Family,” the Great Elder turned to look at Lin Jinyun and paused, “If we don’t act, the Xie and Yue Families surely will.”

“We need not worry about the Yue Family, but we absolutely cannot let the Xie Family gain another ally.”

Lin Jinyun nodded, “Certainly.”

At the Di Wu Family Ancestral Home.

Li Han had been waiting until Ying Zijin returned. She stood up, “Junior Ying, the master you mentioned?”

Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “He spewed blood and fainted, hospitalized. I don’t know his current condition.”

Originally, there was karma involved; her interference was only meant to make Lou Wenhai unlucky by depriving him of some fortune.

Who knew he would attempt to divine her name.

Li Han: “???”

Forgive her, a university student, for not understanding metaphysics.

Li Han spoke again, “Junior Ying, it’s getting late; let me take you home.”

“No need,” Ying Zijin shook her head, “I’ll take you.”

“I don’t need to be escorted,” Li Han waved her hand, glancing at her phone, “Tsk, look who’s calling me again.”

“Junior Ying, shall we go to the hospital? I can show you a one-person debate,” Li Han offered.

Ying Zijin’s eyebrows raised slightly, “I’m quite curious to see that.”

“Let’s go,” Li Han sneered, “I want to see what they plan to do now that they can’t Borrow Fortune anymore.”

Thirty minutes later, the two arrived at Imperial Capital Hospital.

Li Wenxuan was still unconscious, but at least he was out of danger.

Father Li had also tried to contact Master Lou to no avail, and it had him frantic and furious.

Mother Li sat by the bed, ceaselessly wiping her tears.

Unintentionally, she noticed several cracks forming on the jade pendant hanging around Li Wenxuan’s neck.

Mother Li’s expression changed, “Husband, look, quickly look, Borrowing Fortune…”

As Father Li looked over, he was startled. Before he could speak, applause echoed from the entrance of the ward.

“What, when you can’t Borrow Fortune, you end up like this?”

Mother Li’s heart lurched, “Xiao Han, we…”

“I thought it was something serious.” Li Han clucked in surprise, “So he dies and you mope around here?”

Father Li’s face turned livid, “Nonsense! What are you talking about?!”

“Let me make one thing clear, don’t even think about borrowing my fortune,” Li Han wasn’t angry, but smiled instead, “You can’t borrow it anymore, and from now on, your family has nothing to do with me, remember that clearly.”

At that, Father Li understood, and he exclaimed in both shock and anger, “Was it you who undid the Borrowing Fortune?!”

“It’s just a bit of your luck, isn’t your brother’s life important to you?” Meanwhile, Mother Li’s cries grew louder, “You’re just short of some luck, but your brother lacks life itself, how can you be so heartless?”
