I Heard You Were Amazing at Divination!

Outside Stephenson, a private airship quietly set sail, temporarily departing from the magnificent Floating City along a predetermined route with the permission of the control tower.

Due to the widespread use of flying vehicles, air traffic control has long been a routine part of Stephenson's life, and any large flying machine must be reported to the highest control tower.

Traveling by private flying vehicle is not actually that easy.

Emma's airship was quite cramped. It was originally a single-person aircraft, but with Xu Nan crammed in behind her, the cockpit felt a bit crowded.

"What did you use to poke me with?!" Emma turned around angrily and demanded.

Xu Nan huddled in the corner, trembling. She glanced at the wrench that had fallen out of nowhere and didn't know what to do.

Emma calmly shoved the wrench back into the tool cabinet next to her, coughed, and continued piloting the airship.

Regardless, this private airship really didn't seem like a girl's; the interior was a mess, and Xu Nan could even smell a strange tar and rubber odor.

However, to satisfy the burning gossip desire deep inside her, Xu Nan chose to remain silent.

After all, not everyone has the chance to stumble upon such a big news story.

"What do you know about the story of my teacher and Ms. Ansu Li, which is also the famous love story of Stephenson that you mentioned?"

He was actually a little surprised. He had been in Stephenson for so long and had never heard of any Stephenson love stories. Although Luo Mang and Ansu Li seemed to be having an affair now, they didn't look like they had been together for hundreds of years. How could they have a famous love story?

Emma thought for a moment, "Actually, I don't know much either. The reason their story is so widely known in Stephenson is mainly because my teacher is so famous..."

With Emma's explanation, Xu Nan gained some intuitive understanding of the so-called famous love stories:

As Stephenson's most famous single female mage, Ansu Li is probably the richest woman in the entire Pro World. The number of people pursuing her can basically stretch from the southern shore of the Sea of Curse to the World God Kingdom.

But for hundreds of years, Ansu Li never accepted anyone.

Some busybodies dug up some information from old historical records. Back when Ansu Li was still a female apprentice, she had a close relationship with a straightforward young man. The two seemed to be very close and made a great name for themselves in the main plane of the Pro World. Even in the Abyss, the demons avoided this pair of male and female demons.

That person was naturally Luo Mang in his youth.

In other words, hundreds of years ago, when Luo Mang and Ansu Li were both young, they fought side by side and even had an ambiguous relationship.

There were rumors that the two would officially start dating.

But soon, an accident occurred.

For reasons unknown, Ansu Li returned to Stephenson and succeeded her mentor, Jules, becoming one of the Three Giants of Stephenson; while Luo Mang gradually faded from the public eye in Stephenson.

This period lasted for hundreds of years, during which time Ansu Li and Luo Mang maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

It wasn't until recently, when Luo Mang took the initiative to return Ansu Li's Breakfast Dagger, that the relationship between the two eased somewhat.

The so-called famous love story of Stephenson is actually a series of versions of the story about how Ansu Li and Luo Mang broke up, made up by idle people who had nothing better to do and based on their own imaginations.

Some versions claim that the breakup was inevitable, given that Stephenson and Lost Paradise were two major powers, and as heirs, they naturally couldn't easily control their own love lives. Other versions claim that Ansu Li had to return to Stephenson at the behest of Jules Verne, who disliked Luo Mang and sought another for Ansu Li, but Ansu Li refused. Unable to disobey her mentor's will, Ansu Li remained in a stalemate. Still other versions claim that Luo Mang was actually gay, and during a moment of unconsciousness, he was caught in a compromising situation by Ansu Li, leading to his anger and a bitter breakup...

"This version is pure nonsense!" Xu Nan said angrily. "My mentor is one of the few upright people among the Ron Sorcerer, and I can guarantee that with my reputation!"

Emma gave him a strange look. "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about your reputation?"

Xu Nan coughed and angrily retorted, "That doesn't mean you can slander my teacher like that!"

Emma nodded. "Relax, actually I don't believe this version either. Luo Mang looks like a straight man, how could he be gay..."

"Actually, there are all sorts of versions, most of which are nonsense, so don't be angry."

"Oh right, there's an even funnier version. You'll laugh your head off when I tell you about it. I don't know which idiot came up with it, but the thing is, people actually believe it... Hahaha! It's hilarious!"

"In this version, when Luo Mang first embarked on the path of a sorcerer, he encountered a highly respected mage who played a crucial misleading role in his growth— Luo Mang harbored resentment about this, but the mage escaped quickly and was never found again. After he and my mentor Ansu Li got together, one day they went to see Master Jules. Ansu Li happily introduced her beloved mentor to Luo Mang, but Luo Mang discovered that Master Jules was the very person who had almost cost him his life! The two fought fiercely, Luo Mang was defeated. He vowed to train hard and defeat Master Jules, and that's when they parted ways..."

"Hahahaha... This is hilarious! Is there a more absurd version in your life?"

Emma laughed so hard she swerved the steering wheel wildly, almost crashing into an aircraft on the adjacent flight path.

It seems that Driver are not only the rulers of the road, but also the rulers of the air in no time.

Xu Nan hurriedly helped her steady the steering wheel, but didn't laugh.

He pondered for a long time before asking, "What is Master Jules' full name?"

Emma thought for a moment, "Jules Emerson, what's wrong?"

Xu Nan touched his nose and coughed, "It's nothing."

He vaguely remembered that the surname of the teacher who had wronged his teacher was Emerson.

As it turns out, the rumors are even more unfounded. Although it's unlikely that Ansu Li and Luo Mang parted ways because of this, Ansu Li's mentor might actually be the one who caused Luo Mang to become a solitary sorcerer.

Such a deep-seated blood feud is truly a tragic fate!

Xu Nan shook his head and sighed.

The aircraft landed slowly on a remote island not far from Stephenson.

The mist of the Sea of Curse seemed to dissipate quietly here. As soon as Xu Nan landed on the island, he felt like he was being watched by a pair of eyes.

"It's the gaze of the Black Witch," Emma explained. "This Black Witch is really powerful. If I hadn't come here with my teacher for a trial by chance, I wouldn't have known that there was such an island in the Sea of Curse."

Xu Nan nodded.

The Sea of Curse is very special; its mist has an effect almost like a magic-free zone, and only airships built entirely with mechanical craftsmanship can cross it. But this island doesn't have that lingering mist, so it has nothing to do with the Black Witch, which even she herself doesn't believe.

"Although the Sea of Curse is mysterious and dangerous, many creatures actually live there, but they continue their races in a way that is isolated from the world..."

"Let's stay on the island quietly and not disturb the other residents."

"The Black Witch is deep in the forest."

Emma became unusually serious; it seemed that some of the local indigenous people had caused her considerable trouble.

She anchored the airship on the coastline and led Xu Nan deep into the forest, traversing a thorny path until they finally arrived at a secluded grove.

Halfway there, Xu Nan vaguely heard a baby crying. He was about to turn around to look when Emma grabbed his head and gestured for him to speed up and ignore it.

The baby's cries grew louder, seemingly echoing in Xu Nan's ears, but after passing through a Birch Forest, the baby's cries abruptly ceased.

This island is truly a mysterious place. Even with Ron Sorcerer bloodline, Xu Nan couldn't tell what kind of creature it was!

Sunlight was rare in the forest. In a clearing, there was a patch of strange wild grass. Emma parted the grass and revealed the dark entrance to an Ancient Well.

Xu Nan noticed that the Ancient Well looked somewhat familiar.

"Isn't this the Deep Water Well Stephenson used to imprison criminals?" His eyelids twitched.

The next second, a faint sigh came from the depths of the well, "I was originally Stephenson's prisoner."

"Emma, what delicious food did you bring me this time?"

The voice was quite alluring, completely different from the aged and malevolent witch's voice that Xu Nan had imagined.

Emma pointed excitedly at Xu Nan: "Him!"

Xu Nan was horrified!

In that instant, countless sinister and vicious scenarios flashed through his mind: Emma had probably been bewitched by the Black Witch, bringing handsome men here as food in exchange for the witch's power!

The next second, Emma added, "He has something of Luo Mang on him."

"If I add the handkerchief I gave your teacher, we should be able to predict their future, right?"

"As long as your divination is successful, I can bring you whatever you want to eat!"

After a moment of silence, the voice slowly said from under the Ancient Well, "Okay."

Under Emma's urging gaze, Xu Nan reluctantly took out a white hair.

He actually picked up the white hair from Luo Mang's house. Based on the principle that the hair of a powerful figure can also serve as a talisman, he always carried it with him, hoping that his teacher's white hair could ward off evil spirits.

He actually collected very little hair, so it's a real shame to use up just one strand.

Moreover, he didn't completely trust Emma and the Black Witch.

Then, a thought struck him, and he asked:

"You're really good at divination?"

"Then I'd like to ask a question first, and I hope you can enlighten me!"

The Black Witch readily agreed.

Xu Nan: "I have a younger brother, but many people think he's a younger sister. Could you use divination to clear up my doubts?"

The Black Witch sneered, "That kind of question? Simple, give me one of your brother's or sister's personal items, or even just a hair from their body!"

Xu Nan thought for a moment, and under Emma's shocked gaze, took out a piece of Winnie the Pooh underwear and threw it down.

The Black Witch said succinctly, "Half a minute."

An aura of divination emanated from below.

Half a minute later.

The sound of blood spitting out came from the bottom of the well.

...!
