"As for your doubts about my accuracy, there's no chance I'm wrong. Of course, I can't prove it unless we come back four years from now."
Lin Fan shrugged. It wasn't as though he could travel through time.
Otherwise, he could take all the viewers four years into the future to see for themselves.
As soon as he finished speaking,
the viewers in the livestream were stunned.
[Boss Xiu: Four years! She cheated on him for four whole years. That woman is something else!]
[Ragdoll Cat: Actually, I'd say Xia Xinyu was too careless. It took him four years to discover he was being cheated on. Clearly, he's just too dumb.]
[Ninety Below Zero: Please post a picture of his girlfriend so everyone knows to steer clear.]
[Steel Science-and-Engineering Guy: Mark my words. If the master turns out to be right four years from now, I'll livestream myself eating shit while doing a handstand!]
[Rational Neutral: We can talk about the future when it comes. What matters most is whether his girlfriend really is cheating on him!]
[Curious +1]
[Curious +2]
[Curious +999]
Over a million viewers had the same question on their minds.
Had Xia Xinyu's childhood sweetheart, whom he'd dated for seven years, really cheated on him?
"Cheated on for four years?"
It hit Xia Xinyu like a bolt from the blue. He went completely blank as tender memories of his girlfriend flashed through his mind.
Seven years together.
He simply couldn't imagine his girlfriend betraying him.
"I don't believe it!"
"That could never happen!"
Xia Xinyu collapsed onto the floor. His grandfather's death, his girlfriend's betrayal-one blow after another bore down on him, sending him into an emotional breakdown.
"If it's true, will you act on impulse?" Lin Fan asked.
At those words,
Xia Xinyu froze. He knew acting on impulse could lead to disaster, but when he thought of the girlfriend he'd loved for seven years being with another man,
his heart filled with rage.
"I'll kill him."
Xia Xinyu clenched his fists. That was how he truly felt. He couldn't tolerate anyone taking his girlfriend away.
Lin Fan had expected this. Since he'd foreseen Xia Xinyu beating the other man to death four years later, Xia Xinyu would do the same if he confirmed it now.
He said calmly, "After you kill him, your grandmother will die."
His girlfriend on one side, his grandmother on the other.
Xia Xinyu clutched his chest. At that moment, he felt as though he couldn't breathe.
Only after a long while
did he suppress the impulse in his heart and say, "I won't kill anyone, and I won't hit them. But I'll ruin their reputations."
Xia Xinyu thought of his grandmother. She and his grandfather had raised him since childhood. His grandfather was already gone, and he couldn't bear to lose the only family he had left in the world.
He raised his head and said firmly, "Master, I want proof that they're together."
Proof?
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "In that case, I'll stay with you and help handle your grandfather's funeral arrangements."
"Xiao Tuantuan, keep your livestream running. Go to Seven Star Street and find the Cloudjoy Hotel. Room 306, on the third floor."
[Boss Xiu: Oh-ho, looks like we're in for a show!]
[Ninety Below Zero: Don't tell me Xia Xinyu's girlfriend is in someone else's bed right now!]
[Old Wang Who Often Cheats: Knowing the master's style, we're probably about to catch them in the act.]
[Ragdoll Cat: Surely it can't be such a coincidence that his girlfriend is cheating right this minute?]
"I'll head over right away."
Without hesitation, Xiao Tuantuan turned and left the hospital, then took a taxi to Seven Star Street.
In the morgue,
Xia Xinyu couldn't help asking, "Master, why would my girlfriend betray me?"
Although there was no proof yet, he already believed it.
Ever since he'd met Lin Fan, not a single thing Lin Fan had said had been wrong.
"Because you took a leave of absence."
Lin Fan shrugged and said bluntly, "After you left school, she met too many outstanding people at university."
"She originally planned to break up with you. But then you kept sending her money for living expenses every month, so naturally, she didn't want to give up her personal ATM."
"So she got together with someone else while keeping you in the dark."
The transition from high school to university
could easily cause problems.
Very few high school sweethearts managed to stay together through university and eventually get married.
Out of ten high school couples, even one making it all the way was a good outcome.
"So... in the end, it's my fault."
Xia Xinyu's eyes dimmed. If he hadn't taken leave, if he'd stayed at university and kept improving himself, becoming a better person, perhaps his girlfriend wouldn't have cheated on him for four years.
Not long afterward,
Lin Fan took out his phone and opened Xiao Tuantuan's livestream.
Xiao Tuantuan had already reached the Cloudjoy Hotel. She hurried to the third floor and found room 306.
Perhaps the hotel's soundproofing wasn't very good.
Even through the closed door, Xiao Tuantuan could hear the sounds of passion coming from inside.
"Hello, housekeeping."
Xiao Tuantuan gathered her courage and knocked on the door.
Chapter 46: Heavenly Secrets Points Earned!
The sounds inside the room abruptly stopped.
A short while later,
a young woman with disheveled hair, wearing a bathrobe, opened the door a crack.
"Sweetie, what does housekeeping want?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from inside the room.
[Boss Xiu: There's your proof! A man and a woman alone in a room, both wearing bathrobes!]
[Dust's Monologue: I really want to see Xia Xinyu's reaction. Seeing his girlfriend with another man on a livestream must feel awful.]
[Electric College Daniel Wu: Holy shit, they're both students at Jiangzhou University! Xia Xinyu's girlfriend is our university's freshman campus beauty!]
[Electric College's Number One Handsome Man: That guy is the student council president. Damn, I'm suddenly a little jealous of him.]
Within moments, students from Jiangzhou University stepped forward and dug up every last detail about the pair.
In the morgue,
the veins in Xia Xinyu's neck bulged. Seeing the livestream, he knew his girlfriend really had cheated on him.
"Hold it in."
"For people like them, a ruined reputation is the best punishment. If you lose control and attack them, you'll lose your grandmother."
Lin Fan held Xia Xinyu by the shoulder, worried that anger would cloud his judgment.
Sometimes, physical harm came nowhere close to the damage inflicted on the mind.
Xiao Tuantuan's livestream had over a million viewers, including plenty of students from Jiangzhou University.
Lin Fan believed that within an hour, word of the pair's disgraceful behavior would spread throughout Jiangzhou University. The university might even step in and expel them.
After all, anyone who did something like this clearly lacked good character.
Universities never went easy on people of poor character.
"Master, don't worry. I won't act rashly."
Xia Xinyu took several deep breaths and gradually calmed down. Staring coldly at the livestream, he said, "What a pair of scumbags."
"Thank goodness I met you, Master. Otherwise, she would've cheated on me for four years without me knowing a thing."
Finding out sooner meant cutting his losses sooner.
If he only discovered his girlfriend's affair four years later, he would probably suffer even more.
"You've always been impulsive and quick-tempered. Even something small could send you into the abyss."
Lin Fan said calmly, "Starting today, you need to learn restraint. Of course, if you don't think losing your grandmother matters much, then you don't have to change."
Xia Xinyu nodded and said solemnly, "I'll definitely change!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, successfully changing Xia Xinyu's fate and guiding him onto the right path. Reward: mastery of Six-Line Divination!]
A pleasant chime rang out.
A flicker of delight crossed Lin Fan's eyes. The next moment, he discovered new knowledge of Six-Line Divination in his mind.
