Chapter 118 Spring Rain Temple

The small courtyard of the Chun Yu Temple.

The sunlight shifted.

Slowly, it moved from morning to evening.

Gong Zi and Mu Nan only paid a brief visit. After drinking a cup of tea, they left in a hurry. Judging from their rushed departure, it was highly likely that Young Master Gong was dragging Shen Li off to the prison to find the so-called one-to-thirty stud game.

The one who hadn't left all day was Luo Yu.

Fatty Luo sat at the entrance of the courtyard, looking around anxiously.

Today was the day the young master was meeting with the old master… He heard that the old master had arranged to meet the young master by an artificial lake in Nagano, to spend the day fishing.

It sounded peaceful and uneventful.

But in reality… based on Luo Yu's understanding of the young master, this meeting was actually fraught with tension.

They might even argue!

Involving the future relationship between the "old and new factions," countless eyes in the Gu family were fixed on the two of them.

Gu Nanfeng had gone to the appointment early in the morning.

It was already evening, and he hadn't returned.

While waiting, the Chun Yu Temple welcomed its second guest.

Li Qingsui finished her busy day and came to the Gu family's villa area with Uncle Gao.

She had come specifically for Gu Shen, who had been missing for two days!

"You surnamed Gu, you really do… like to play it big, don't you?"

As soon as she entered the courtyard and met him, Li Qingsui sneered.

She put her hands on her hips and sized Gu Shen up carefully, inside and out.

The Li family had provided cover a few days ago.

They erased Gu Shen's tracks… Her idea was actually very simple. She just didn't want the [Wind Eye] to spy on Gu Shen's whereabouts. As for what Gu Shen was doing in Qingzhong, she didn't want to guess.

But she never expected it.

Two days later, Gu Shen had become the successor to the divination arts!

That was a forbidden art similar to the "Wish Art"!

The news came too suddenly. The Five Great Families were caught completely off guard and were still in a daze.

Li Qingsui asked curiously, "How did you suddenly transform into… the successor to the divination arts in just three days?"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Even if I'm useless, I'm still an S-rank, so who is more qualified to practice Master Chino's divination arts than me… Is it really that shocking?"

Li Qingsui curled her lips, unimpressed.

Gu Shen's "S-rank" was indeed worthy of awe in the eyes of others in Snow Forbidden City.

But after being around him for a long time.

In her opinion… he was just showing off!

"Then what's the deal with the second successor?"

Li Qingsui knew Gu Shen's personality. He wouldn't say an extra word about things he shouldn't say. She was too lazy to ask more about the divination arts, so she directly asked about the mysterious second successor to the divination arts.

If Gu Shen practicing the divination arts was considered reasonable.

Then this second successor who appeared out of nowhere was really too abrupt.

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed," Gu Shen shook his head.

Li Qingsui frowned slightly, "You won't say anything at all? You're too ungenerous… What's the background? Is it really that mysterious?"

Seeing Gu Shen's stubborn refusal to budge.

The little girl stretched out two fingers, rubbed them together, and begged pitifully, "Just reveal a little bit, just a little."

"Alright…"

Gu Shen pretended to be troubled and said four words: "Female, alive."

Unexpectedly, Li Qingsui was extremely perceptive.

Her eyes lit up, and she stared at Gu Shen's reaction, pressing him closely, "Wait a minute… Could it be that the name has two characters?"

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated.

He knew that Li Qingsui would react quickly.

But he didn't expect it to be this quick.

In less than a second, she had associated it with the "correct answer."

What was this little girl's mind filled with… Had she been thinking about his gossip all this time?

Gu Shen could only helplessly retort with four more words, "No comment!"

No matter how you listened to it, it was a very weak denial.

Case closed!

Li Qingsui smiled brightly.

"No wonder you wouldn't say anything… So you wanted to keep it all to yourself." She smacked her lips and winked, "Looking at it this way, it's not really that surprising that you can practice the divination arts. You probably contacted Master Gravedigger long ago, and that mysterious girl probably pleaded on your behalf."

Gu Shen once again looked helpless and warned, "Don't spread it around."

The Tao is one foot high, the devil is ten feet high.

Li Qingsui probably wouldn't understand the dangers of the world for a long time…

The information she could obtain was all information that Gu Shen had deliberately released.

"Can you reveal a little more?" Li Qingsui coughed and quickly tried to get closer, "What's the future sister-in-law's name? What's her surname? Do you have any photos?"

This really couldn't be revealed… Gu Shen shook his head, his attitude firm: "You can guess slowly."

Enough momentum had been built regarding the divination arts' "second successor."

Master Gravedigger had released the news earlier.

Then there was Bai Lu's dream vision, plus Li Qingsui's gossip. It was estimated that the Five Great Families would soon deduce the general image of this "second successor"… A mysterious girl with profound computational abilities and extremely strong mental power, who had the ability to forcibly interpret dreams.

And… she had a close relationship with Gu Shen.

"Do you think I'm as stupid as those people outside?" Li Qingsui snorted, "I'll have my sister use the 'Wish Art' to try… to see if I can meet that mysterious successor."

As luck would have it.

Gu Shen wasn't afraid of the Wish Art in this matter.

Now, even if you searched the entire Five Continents, you wouldn't be able to find this so-called "mysterious successor"… If the Wish Art was useful, he would also like to see Chu Ling.

"By the way."

Li Qingsui followed behind Gu Shen, asking, "You've practiced the divination arts… should we call you Master Gu from now on?"

Gu Shen was dumbfounded.

Master Gu?

Why did this title sound so swindling?

"Master Gu, can you help me with a divination?" Li Qingsui's eyes were full of anticipation.

Gu Shen turned to look at Li Qingsui and asked seriously, "Are you… sure?"

"Come on, come on." Li Qingsui opened her palm and smiled, "Should I read my palm or my face?"

Gu Shen also smiled.

He said lightly, "Reading your face is enough."

The Blazing Fire of his brow center jumped out.

He stared at Li Qingsui's forehead for a few seconds with great seriousness.

Gu Shen said earnestly, "You have outstanding talent, but you will suffer physical pain next."

"…How is that possible? Is your divination really accurate?"

Hearing these words, Li Qingsui was stunned. Her first reaction was disbelief.

She muttered in a low voice, "I'm the future head of the Li family. Uncle Gao takes care of me when I go out. Who would dare bully me?"

As soon as she finished speaking.

"Thump!"

The little girl received a flick on the forehead.

She was in so much pain that tears almost came out of her eyes. In just three or four seconds, a red mark appeared on her fair forehead, and a bump rose up.

Li Qingsui gritted her teeth and covered her forehead, glaring at Gu Shen in front of her.

"Sorry… there really is someone, and that's me."

Gu Shen smiled and blew on his fingers, "Is my divination accurate now? Does this count as outstanding talent, and does it count as physical pain?"

That finger shook, its meaning very clear.

If this didn't count… did she want another one?

Li Qingsui retreated quickly and said hatefully, "You wait, you big bad guy, you'll get yours sooner or later!"
