Your... Holy Crap

Zhao Mou is a very efficient person. He sent the information to Yu Xing within five minutes of making the promise.

Yu Xing wasn't in a hurry to look at it. After downloading the file, he thanked the sender and continued eating his dinner, occasionally checking on other people's activities.

These young people, who have powerful connections, don't really like the old-fashioned, roundabout ways of eating. They eat whatever they want, but if you look closely, you can see the excitement in the eyes of the first-time visitors and the subtle anticipation in the eyes of the returning visitors for the upcoming activities.

"It seems this information exchange is quite formal..." Yu Xing thought to herself.

The relationship Three Great Families is not merely one of cooperation; they have only reached a mutually beneficial agreement because they have different priorities and are willing to make things convenient for each other.

According to Yu Xing's understanding, there are frequent frictions between the Luo family and the Xu family.

Yu Xing once thought that this exchange was of little value, but now it seems to be quite interesting.

After a while, without anyone announcing it, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and most people put down their chopsticks as they looked at the expressions of those around them.

The exchange meeting is about to begin.

The Luo family was the main beneficiary of this gathering, so they should be the first to share. Luo Qishan, who was sitting next to Luo Jue, went on stage.

The young man, who was sitting in the audience, still had the air of a sunny and cheerful older brother. But once he stepped onto the stage and was looked at by so many eyes, he became serious and composed. Once he calmed down, the powerful confidence of a star predictor was palpable.

"Thank you for your kind invitation. I am Luo Qishan." Luo Qishan first performed a refined ancient greeting, which his blue Daoist robe made the gesture appear perfectly natural.

The moment he opened his mouth, you could tell from the rhythm of his voice that he probably often did things like "explaining".

The researchers probably held quite a few meetings.

Yu Xing casually tapped the table with her fingertips without making a sound, while resting her chin on her other hand and tilting it towards Zhao Yijiu.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Zhao Yijiu was speechless for a moment.

He's pretending to be completely unserious. Is he trying to hide his true feelings, or does he simply not care if others notice his unusual behavior?

This question often popped into Zhao Yijiu's mind, but she had never found an answer.

Behind the platform where Luo Qishan was standing was a large screen, which was currently showing a discussion on feng shui changes. He had come prepared, and the large screen was constantly displaying various complex maps and feng shui knowledge in conjunction with his explanation.

Yu Xing wasn't interested in these topics, but when the other person mentioned a few slightly familiar place names, a nostalgic look would appear on her face.

He used to be a wanderer, and he has some interesting memories of many places...

Seeing that Yu Xing was distracted, Zhao Mou's eyes flashed, as if he felt that this practical knowledge was not attractive enough to him.

He won't listen, but plenty of others will.

Aside from a few people with exceptional memories and those who were genuinely indifferent, almost everyone in the hall diligently recorded the conversation. They planned to take this knowledge back and digest it, hoping it might be helpful in deducing the ancient historical context.

After finishing his theoretical explanation, Luo Qishan paused and cleared his throat. "That concludes my sharing, Luo Jue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jue, who had pigtails like a little girl, happily stood up and pulled something out from behind her seat.

Yu Xing followed her gaze and then realized that, whether in the simulation or outside of it, this child liked to carry a particularly large bag. At this moment, a bulging hiking backpack was pulled out by her small, thin arms and then easily slung over her shoulder with a "thump".

The little girl, carrying a bag that seemed disproportionate to her size, nimbly climbed onto the stage and stood next to Luo Qishan.

"Senior brother!" she called out crisply, bringing a smile to Luo Qishan's face and causing the other family members sitting below to gossip.

"Who is this young lady? I've never seen her before. Is this your first time here?"

"Is the name Luo Jue? I haven't seen her in the simulation livestream before, she might have just been promoted."

"Are you an adult yet??"

The little girl seemed quite unhappy, just like when she refuted Yu Xing and Ning Feng. She opened her mouth as if she was about to loudly announce that she was already an adult and only looked young!

Before Luo Qishan Luo Jue Qishan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards everyone. Perhaps due to personal habit, his speech was somewhat unlike that of a modern person. "This is my junior sister. She has indeed just been promoted, but she is already an adult. If you all continue to discuss this, she will be unhappy when she goes back."

But the seemingly polite tone actually carried a hint of indifference, making it clear that he was protective of his junior sister.

Those who were talking quietly fell silent. Only the pale-faced woman with her hair up in a bun from the Xu family's side gave him a disdainful look.

Luo Qishan didn't realize he was being mocked. He bent down and unzipped the backpack Luo Jue had brought. Immediately, Yu Xing raised an eyebrow, sensing a faint, strange aura emanating from it.

It was similar to the aura of the ghost in the offerings. Although the curse power in his body was suppressed by the system, some of this keen perception remained. For example, now, sensing the contents of the bag through the crowd, his hair stood on end.

A short while later, Luo Qishan took out a short bronze ruler, about one decimeter long, from his bag, placed it flat in his palm, and the ruler made a crisp sound in his hand, automatically rotating at an angle before falling silent.

He glanced at the Xu family in the direction the ruler was pointing. "The Bone Seeking Ruler can sense the location of nearby ghosts and dead people. After testing, it has been confirmed that it can be used in ancient divination. It can be used five times. I believe it will have miraculous effects if used properly."

"This item was created by my Master, Luo Yan, and I am now gifting it to you all."

The surprise this thing brought was far more intuitive than any explanation of the feng shui arrangement. Many members from other families, as well as the newly promoted members, were all beaming with joy. Then, someone belatedly realized. "A ghost nearby? Look at the direction it's pointing... Xu family bring a ghost?"

There are rules for the gathering: it's okay if you bring your own ghostly or malevolent energy, but you can't bring in any ghosts you keep as pets.

Yu Xing only learned about this rule from the discussions around him. His [Sheqing Dreamscape] was covered by the hem of his turtleneck sweater, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"But Yiqing hasn't come out yet, so the ruler shouldn't be able to sense him..." he thought calmly. Even if it did sense him, he could instantly put the dagger back into the panel.

The woman with her hair up, whom Zhao Mou had introduced to Yu Xing, looked up at the person opposite her. Xu Xiangfeng Xu Lingling, who was completely wrapped in a black cloak, was slightly turning his head, and his position perfectly matched the direction of the Bone Seeking Ruler.

A few seconds later, Xu Lingling scoffed, "Xiangfeng, look, the Luo family's Bone Seeking Ruler doesn't even treat you like a human being anymore."

Her voice was slightly shrill, and her tone was aggressive. It was unclear whether she was mocking the Luo family, the ruler, or Xu Xiangfeng, who dared not take off his cloak.

"..." Xu Xiangfeng, perhaps being a bit mild-mannered, didn't want to argue with her, and his voice was calm under his hood, "Sorry to bother everyone, my constitution has changed recently with the help of deduction, so it's normal for the Bone Seeking Ruler to make mistakes."

The implication is that his physical condition is no longer that of a human being?

Luo Qishan on stage made no comment, only smiled casually, and said to the little girl, "Luo Jue, distribute the rulers."

He took something else out of his bag, and Luo Jue dragged the bag and excitedly jumped off the stage. The bottom of the backpack rubbed against the stone bricks on the ground, making a pleasant rustling sound.

The little girl went straight to the Zhao family's seats and started distributing food from table to table, giving one to each person.

Sure enough, once the Luo family's props are researched, they can be mass-produced. What makes the other two families most envious is that they will never be able to figure out how these props are made.

Luo Jue diligently distributed the props, and wherever she went, the younger generation of the Zhao family showed friendly smiles to this little girl. Even if not all of them were genuine, it still made Luo Jue mutter to herself, "Hmph, the Zhao family is much better than those gloomy Xu family!"

On stage, Luo Qishan smiled when he heard Luo Jue muttering, then became serious and held up another uniquely shaped object in his hand.

It is a skull.

However, judging from its fist-sized size, it is clear that this is not a real human skull, but rather a skull made of other materials.

Everyone looked at the small skull, their curiosity palpable.

"Senior Brother Luo Yan had long anticipated that the Bone Seeking Ruler might not be very convenient for the Xu family." His tone was calm, but as cunning as the Zhao family, many could hear the subtle sarcasm in his voice. "Therefore, the Bone Seeking Ruler was only given to the Zhao family members; the Xu family received something else."

"This item is called False Bone. It contains the aura of a ghost. When used in deduction, it can make ghosts mistake the user for one of their own kind. When placed on someone who already possesses ghostly energy, it is twice as effective. There is no absolute number of times it can be used; it continues until the ghostly energy stored in the False Bone is exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Xu family smiled, and even those of different surnames whose abilities were not so inclined towards ghosts were delighted.

Like the Bone Seeking Ruler, the False Bone is also a very useful tool. If used well, it can be extremely powerful. For those who like to rely on clever tricks and strategic planning to complete the game, having these two items will give them several more options during the game.

Even Xu Lingling, the celebrity predictor who seems to have the worst temper, slightly curled the corners of her mouth, looking quite satisfied.

"Junior Sister Luo Jue will present the False Bone to everyone in the Xu family," Luo Qishan said at the end, then stepped off the stage with an air of otherworldly elegance.

According to the rules, the Three Great Families take turns on stage, with a 20-minute break in between.

When Luo Qishan announced that the Luo family's sharing session was over and it was time for a break, some people sipped their tea with lingering enjoyment, while others' eyes followed Luo Jue's petite yet incredibly strong figure as she dragged a bag full of precious props across the ground like a corpse...

"Here!" The little girl finally arrived at the table where Zhao Mou was sitting. She rummaged through her bag and handed out the Bone Seeking Ruler to Zhao Mou and the two ladies. The former smiled at her with a gentle yet distant expression, but Zhao Yingying was different; she couldn't resist patting Luo Jue's head. (Fastest updates on mobile:)

"Hey! What are you doing!" Luo Jue was extremely disgusted by this behavior of treating her like a child, especially since the other party was a stranger from another family. However, when she looked up, she met Zhao Yingying's affectionate gaze.

"Little sister is so cute, I couldn't resist, don't blame me~" Zhao Yingying twirled her hair with her fingers, her tone mocking, making it seem like she was flirting with some little boy.

Yu Xing watched this scene with a calm and collected demeanor. As far as he knew, Luo Jue was not only a sucker for good looks, but also a bit of a pervert.

Sure enough, seeing Zhao Yingying's attitude, Luo Jue's anger subsided. She chuckled, "Alright, I'll let it slide since this lady is so pretty."

She shoved the Bone Seeking Ruler into Zhao Yingying's hand; the next one was Yu Xing.

The girl handed out three rulers to this table, but didn't see Yu Xing at all. She bent down, pulled out a new ruler, and looked up, saying, "This is yours... Holy crap?"

"Holy crap? What's that?" Yu Xing tilted his head, his arm propping up his chin. At such close range, he could clearly see the surprise and shock in the little girl's eyes.

"Roy!" Luo Jue's eyes widened, and she took two steps back in fright. Then, realizing what had happened, she rushed back. "Wow, you're from the Zhao family?"

"Not a surname." Yu Xing tossed her two words, letting her fill in the blanks herself.

Luo Jue swallowed hard. "Oh, a different surname? Holy crap, I'm so happy!"

She suddenly stopped, stared at Yu Xing for several seconds, and before Yu Xing could realize what her predatory gaze meant, she suddenly hugged Yu Xing's waist.

Yu Xing was sitting, and she wrapped her arms around Yu Xing's waist, burying her face in Yu Xing's chest.

Gasps of astonishment rose and fell around them; those who had been watching Luo Jue... or rather, the bag in Luo Jue's hand, had witnessed the entire scene clearly.

Zhao Yijiu's eyes sharpened.

Luo Jue felt a chill run through her body. Amidst her joy, she was somewhat bewildered, thinking, "I'm quite far from the Xu family, how did the cold air get here..."

Her hug was fleeting, as if she was afraid Yu Xing would react and rip her skull open.

Having achieved her goal, she explained to Yu Xing, who had raised an eyebrow, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. After the last simulation, the more I thought about it, the more I felt I'd lost out! Why didn't I get your contact information! Waaah, I really felt like I'd missed out..."

She'd finally met two incredibly handsome, eccentric guys, and now she'd lost all way to contact them! Luo Jue was furious! What was she waiting for? What was she afraid of?!

Yu Xing: "I see..."

As soon as he reached out, Luo Jue instinctively wanted to cover her head. The reason was simple: as handsome as he was, the image of the psychopath from the deduction had already left an indelible shadow in her mind.

After so many days, Luo Jue probably added some more special effects to his image in her mind.

However, Yu Xing simply held out her hand to Luo Jue, her smile clearly malicious, "Aren't you going to give me the things? I've already sacrificed so much for you to molest me, and you're still taking my props?"

"Ah, here you go! I'm so happy! Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, for three whole days! I can come see you!" Luo Jue handed him the ruler while ignoring the burning gazes of everyone. It's safe to say that this little girl has a really thick skin; I wonder how she developed it.

"Don't even think about looking for me tonight. In the simulation, there's nothing I can do, but in reality... girls need to protect themselves when they're out." Yu Xing's mischievous side kicked in, and she said jokingly.

Luo Jue protested, "But I..."

Yu Xing said, "Boys also need to protect themselves when they're out, like me."

Luo Jue: "..."

Without giving her a chance to refute, Yu Xing gently pushed her shoulder, sending her in front of Zhao Yijiu.

So, Luo Jue, whose emotions were still surging, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head when she saw Zhao Yijiu's cold and gloomy face.

Holy crap, this guy's even colder than the Xu family...

After Luo Jue went to the Xu family's seats to distribute the False Bone, Zhao Mou laughed and said, "When you said you knew them but weren't familiar with them, you mean... how you mean not familiar with them?"

Zhao Yijiu: "Heh."

Yu Xing spread his hands innocently, smiling in a harmless manner.

Suddenly, he felt a strange gaze fall upon him.

Many people have been looking at him since earlier, but none have been as direct as this gaze.

Following her senses, Yu Xing turned around and met Luo Qishan's gaze.
