Ji Ziyu gave Gu Qin a deep look for a long time. Finally, he picked up the paper, smoothed it out, and put it neatly in his pocket. "Thank you. I'll have two million yuan transferred to your account right away."

"Brother Ziyu." Jiaojiao couldn't help but interject. "Who knows if what she says is true or just made up? If you give her the money now, what if she's lying? After all, it will still be several months before we can go into the mountains. Two million yuan isn't a small amount. What if she runs away after getting the money?"

Jiaojiao's memory kept lingering on the thin girl at the Five Blessings Bridge. She always felt that the girl didn't have real abilities, otherwise why would she be working at the bridge?

Moreover, two million yuan was certainly not a small sum for an ordinary person. She thought that if this girl could actually do something, she wouldn't need to go to the bridge to predict fortunes.

Jiang Ni frowned and looked at Jiaojiao. "Jiaojiao, enough! If you dare to insult Qin Qin again, I swear I'll throw you out!"

After the incident, the son was devastated, neglecting his business and relying on the old steward. Only recently had he started coming out again.

The Li and Jiang families weren't worried about Gu Qin's ability; they knew her skills. Others, however, didn't believe her, thinking that hiring dozens of people to search for their parents' bodies hadn't worked, so how could a geomancer find them?

Most people watched with curiosity, wanting to see if Gu Qin was genuine.

Gu Qin said, "If you really want to know, I can help you, but there will be a fee. Are you willing?"

The young man nodded, his composure returning, "As long as you can find my parents' bodies, I'll pay whatever you ask."

Gu Qin nodded, "Two million yuan."

She didn't need to exert much effort; she just needed to provide the location. The crowd thought she was asking for too much, but the Li and Jiang families knew her true worth. Finding the location was worth the money, and the price wasn't unreasonable.

Jiang Cheng's girlfriend looked at Gu Qin in surprise, thinking this was a way to make money. She wondered how Gu Qin had become close to the Jiang siblings.

Gu Qin had three coins with her, taking them out from her small bag. She used the six divination methods, thinking about the location of the parents' bodies. Two minutes later, she determined the location was southeast of the mountain. However, this area was vast.

Even a skilled geomancer could only determine the general direction, just like the incident at Yun City Bus Station, where she could only pinpoint the southwest area but not the exact location.

Gu Qin had the Heavenly Eye, which could help her see more details if she visited the southeast part of Mount K2. However, it was snow-covered and inaccessible. Besides, her school required parental consent, and her mother would definitely not allow her to go.

She then turned to Ji Ziyu. "If you're worried, I'll vouch for her."

Ji Ziyu rubbed his forehead. "No need. I trust Master Gu. Thank you."

"Ni Jie," Jiaojiao said, somewhat aggrieved. "I just don't want Brother Ziyu to be scammed."

"Shut up!" Jiang Ni was getting impatient. "Guards... " Before she could call for security, Jiaojiao quickly said to Gu Qin, "Master Gu, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was just being mouthy. I won't do it again."

She didn't want to be thrown out. Turning to Jiang Ni, she pleaded, "Ni Jie, see, I've apologized to Master Gu. I promise I won't be mouthy anymore. Please don't throw me out. I really know I was wrong."

Jiang Ni kept a stern face without saying anything. The crowd watched the drama unfold and felt satisfied. Even if they didn't find anyone, they didn't think much of it, considering how dangerous the place was. Finding someone would be a miracle.

Jiang Cheng hadn't spoken the whole time, only looking at his phone. Now he placed it on the table, pointing at the picture. "Look, this is the mountain peak drawn by Qin Qin. It's this one, part of the Qiaogori Peak ridge. So I believe what Qin Qin said is true."

After saying that, he finally glared at Jiaojiao, who didn't dare speak.

Li Yongsheng also spoke up. "Qin Qin saved my family's life. As for what kind of grace, I can only say that we fell during the real estate turmoil. Therefore, I trust her. As for the outcome, we'll know in three to four months. Alright, tonight is our Li family banquet. Everyone, eat well, drink well, and enjoy yourselves. Come on, let's go over there. Let the young people be together."

When the crowd dispersed, leaving only a few young people, Ji Ziyu had been sitting on the sofa the whole time, not moving. His pale face showed no focus as he stared into the distance.

There were still quite a few young people interested in Gu Qin. A pretty girl in a red evening gown sat next to Gu Qin and smiled. "Master, you really can predict the future?"

Gu Qin nodded. Jiang Ni glanced at the girl and warned, "Jiang Hongmei, don't let Qin Qin tell you those silly things."

The pretty girl immediately changed her expression. "Jiang Ni, my name is Jiang Shuyu. Can't you remember it?"

Jiang Ni smiled. "I've called you Jiang Hongmei for nearly twenty years. Only recently did you change your name. How could anyone remember?"

"How could anyone forget?" Jiang Shuyu was annoyed. "Why can't you remember? Do you think I deliberately call you by your old name? I changed my name because I didn't like it before. Are you saying you're doing it on purpose?"

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

The Jiang family and the Jiang family were acquainted since childhood. They were almost fated to meet. They were neighbors when they were young. Later, the Jiang family started doing real estate and gradually became wealthy, and the Jiang family began doing supermarkets and eventually large shopping malls, also becoming prosperous. They were childhood friends, playing together until they grew up. However, there were always some disagreements between them, and they often ended up arguing.

Jiang Shuyu's original name was Jiang Hongmei. There were many students named Hongmei in school, and she didn't mind at first. But as she grew older and became wealthier, she felt the name was too rustic, so she changed it two years ago.

Jiang Ni smiled. "There's nothing we can do. Others haven't known you for long, but I've known you since childhood. I've called you Jiang Hongmei for twenty years. It's not something that can be changed in a year or two, right?"

Jiang Shuyu was furious. Her ladylike demeanor vanished, and she was on the verge of arguing with Jiang Ni.

Ji Ziyu frowned and got up to leave. Jiang Shuyu wanted to follow, but Jiang Ni said, "He's in a bad mood. If I were you, I wouldn't bother him right now. Going over would only make him angry."

Jiang Shuyu, rarely losing her temper, didn't argue back. She sipped her juice occasionally, then noticed Gu Qin beside her. She perked up again, but seeing Ji Ziyu walk away, she whispered in Gu Qin's ear, "Master Gu, can you look at my fortune and see if there's a chance for me and Brother Ji?"

Gu Qin couldn't help but laugh. "I can't see any signs of red phoenix stars moving, so it seems unlikely. However, I see that you should be careful on your way back today, as you might encounter some minor misfortune. It's not serious, though."

Jiang Shuyu was deeply disappointed, not paying attention to the latter part. Even if she heard it, she didn't take it seriously. She didn't really believe in Gu Qin's ability to predict the future or feng shui. Because of this disbelief, even hearing about the lack of red phoenix star movement didn't matter to her. Thinking about it, she took two glasses of wine and chased after Ji Ziyu.

Jiang Ni chuckled. "Just wait and see how she cries later."

Jiang Ni wasn't wrong. In less than two minutes, Jiang Shuyu came out crying and sat down next to Jiang Ni without saying a word.

Seeing Ji Ziyu's previous state, Gu Qin felt a bit sorry and went out with two glasses of juice. Jiang Shuyu stopped crying and wiped her tears, asking Jiang Ni, "Doesn't Master Gu fear being scolded?"

Jiang Ni smiled. "Qin Qin probably went out to talk about the Ji family's parents. You're not as smart as her, always thinking about love. If I were you, I'd leave right now instead of staying here."

"Don't meddle," Jiang Shuyu frowned.

Gu Qin went out with the two glasses of juice, feeling unwell herself. But leaving now wouldn't look good, so she had to endure it. The balcony had a large swimming pool and many rest areas. Ji Ziyu was sitting there, looking at the pool. When Gu Qin approached, he turned around with obvious impatience, as if ready to scold whoever came. But when he saw it was Gu Qin, his expression returned to its usual blankness.

Gu Qin sat down next to him and handed him a glass of juice. "Have some juice."

Ji Ziyu didn't take it, and his impatience grew. Gu Qin said, "Don't you want to know what happened to your parents?"

"Do you know?" Ji Ziyu turned sharply, his handsome face contorted. He stared intently at her. "What... what happened to them?"

Gu Qin handed him the juice again, and Ji Ziyu finally took it and drank a sip. "Don't be upset. Although it sounds heartless, I believe your parents were happy in their last moments."

"What happened to them? Their teammates said they got lost and were never seen again," Ji Ziyu clenched the cup tightly.

Gu Qin didn't hide it. "Your mother's climbing gear failed, and she fell. Your father didn't hesitate and untied himself, falling with her. They died together. While you may think they were cruel, if your father had lived alone in this world, it would have been the greatest harm to him. Without any hesitation, he chose to follow your mother because you had grown up and become capable and responsible. He trusted you completely, so he made that choice."

Ji Ziyu dropped the cup, shattering it on the ground. His entire body began to tremble. He supported his head with his hands, his shoulders shaking.

After a long silence, Gu Qin said, "Although it's hard to hear, they would be very sad to see you like this. In their eyes, a capable and responsible son is all they hoped for. Lastly, I want to tell you that when love is deep, wanting to die together is not just talk. If there are true lovers, this is the happiest ending. Your parents died with each other, without fear or worry. You should be happy for them. In this world, emotions are mixed with too many things and are fleeting, but theirs was great."

Gu Qin quietly left.

When she returned to Jiang Ni, her face was ashen. "Qin Qin, are you okay? Do you want to leave?"

Gu Qin shook her head. "I'm fine, just a bit tired. I'll be okay after resting for a few days." She closed her eyes and leaned slightly on the sofa, using internal energy to heal her injuries.

She rested for two hours. By the time the banquet was over and most people had left, Ji Ziyu came in, intending to ask for her account number. Jiang Ni shook her head, telling him not to disturb her. Then she waved her phone, indicating she would send him the account information.

Ji Ziyu looked at Gu Qin one last time before leaving, his demeanor noticeably different.

As soon as he left, Jiang Shuyu followed. Jiang Ni shook her head silently without saying a word.

Once the banquet was over, Gu Qin woke up, surprised to see everyone gone. Only Jiang Ni and Jiang Cheng remained. Gu Qin straightened up and laughed. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Jiang Ni was concerned. "Qin Qin, are you really okay? You were coughing blood earlier. Did you get injured inside?"

She knew that when Gu Qin helped Ji Ziyu find the location of his parents, she must have used some other technique. No matter how magical feng shui was, predicting the future could only tell you the general direction, not specifics. Therefore, she concluded that Gu Qin had used another technique, which caused her injury.

"No worries, Ni Jie. I just used a technique improperly, but it's not serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Gu Qin replied, looking outside. The lights were still on, and the clock in the hall pointed to eleven. It was almost midnight. "Ni Jie, Cheng Ge, let's go home."

Jiang Ni saw Gu Qin's improved complexion and felt relieved. She told Jiang Cheng to go home first and accompanied Gu Qin.

Cheng Yinxiang and Gu Jia had already gone to sleep. Knowing Gu Qin was attending the banquet, they waited up. When Gu Qin entered, Cheng Yinxiang noticed the sound and got up, turning on the light. Seeing Gu Qin looking uncomfortable, she hurriedly sat down next to her and felt her forehead. "Qin Qin, what's wrong? Did you drink too much? Are you not feeling well? I told you not to drink. Those cocktails and fruit wines have strong aftereffects. Sit and rest for a while. I'll make you some soup to warm your stomach."

Gu Qin was just feeling unwell, but using the Heavenly Eye had only caused mild internal injuries. She held Cheng Yinxiang's hand and smiled. "Mom, I'm fine. Just a bit sleepy. I just want to sit for a while before going to bed. Don't worry about me. Go to sleep."

"Are you hungry?" Cheng Yinxiang, not detecting any alcohol smell, assumed her daughter was hungry. Ignoring Gu Qin's objections, she prepared a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs and handed it to her. "Here, eat quickly and go to bed."

Gu Qin actually wanted to cry. In her previous life, she had never experienced maternal love. In this life, becoming Gu Qin and receiving such affection felt somewhat guilty, but she couldn't resist the warmth.

Cheng Yinxiang was a bit tired. She patted Gu Qin's shoulder. "I'll go to sleep first. Put the bowl in the sink when you finish. I'll wash it tomorrow."

Gu Qin ate the noodles and went to bed.

************************************************ her cultivation, and her injuries were gradually healing. Originally, she planned to ask a teacher for extra lessons, but on Friday morning, Lin Xinxin found her and said, "Qin Qin, I saved up a thousand yuan and wanted to go to the shooting club. Could you accompany me tomorrow?"

Since the military training, Lin Xinxin had been obsessed with shooting. However, during the training, her scores were poor; she missed several targets, and the few shots she hit were only two or three rings.

Lin Xinxin continued, "Qin Qin, you did so well in shooting. Can you teach me?"

Thinking about this, Gu Qin felt a bit guilty. During the military training, she had used her qi to control the gun and relied on her keen senses due to her cultivation. Otherwise, her performance would have been quite poor. She was interested in guns, but using qi seemed more convenient. At that time, she needed to control her qi to treat Li Qi. Now, she was very proficient in controlling her qi.

"Qin Qin, please come with me," Lin Xinxin persisted.

Gu Qin could only nod and said, "But I'm afraid I can't teach you how to shoot. Even I was surprised by my own performance during the military training. Teaching you would be impossible. The shooting club probably has instructors who can guide you."

Lin Xinxin had no objections. On Saturday morning, Lin Xinxin found Gu Qin and they went to the shooting club together. It was quite far, located in a less central area.

The shooting club offered various activities, including outdoor paintball and indoor target shooting, which were divided into low-end, mid-range, and high-end options. Lin Xinxin chose the low-end option. The cost alone was not cheap, and the equipment was mechanical, unlike the real guns used during military training.

The cost of ammunition for these low-end mechanical guns was around ten yuan per shot. With a thousand yuan, Lin Xinxin could only afford about a hundred shots, which was certainly beyond the reach of most ordinary families.

After paying, Gu Qin also handed over a thousand yuan, received the gun and bullets, and went to the shooting range. There was a dedicated instructor, but essentially, the instructor only provided verbal guidance on how to shoot, emphasizing things like keeping a straight line of sight.

Lin Xinxin became increasingly engaged in shooting, and although she missed the first shot, the subsequent ones were better, though her scores were still around five or six rings.

Gu Qin tried as well. Without using qi, her scores were around eight or nine rings. She was still adjusting to it, and she was more skilled at darts.

Soon, Gu Qin found her rhythm. Even without using qi, she was hitting the nine or ten ring marks almost every time, and later on, she was hitting the bullseye consistently. Lin Xinxin was very envious and kept asking her for tips.
