Don't underestimate the initial stage of refining essence into qi. Even if one has just begun to feel the entry of primordial energy into the cultivation phase, it is already formidable.

The girl who could control primordial energy and yin energy was much stronger than ordinary people. Even if someone had a gun, it would take them some time to hurt her.

Seeing that Gu Qin was really fine, Lin Xinxin couldn't help but ask about what happened at the station. Gu Qin simply recounted the events, naturally omitting the part where she foresaw a major calamity at the station and went to the bus station as a result. After hearing the entire story, Lin Xinxin fell silent for a long while. Finally, she looked up at Gu Qin with a serious expression and said, "Qin Qin, you're amazing. I'm proud of you."

If this situation were to happen to her, she would probably first try to escape. She felt ashamed and indignant, but also made a silent vow to learn martial arts from Gu Qin so that she could bravely face such situations in the future.

As they walked out of the school, a heavy motorcycle whizzed past them. Lin Xinxin turned around and frowned, "Who's riding so fast at the school gate?"

Gu Qin also turned to look and saw the motorcycle stop at the school gate. A boy with curly hair wearing a jacket got off. He was about 170 centimeters tall and looked somewhat fierce. A beautiful girl with long straight hair came out of the school. She wasn't very tall, but she was cute and sweet. She softly said, "Brother Wu, didn't you say you wouldn't come to pick me up?"

The boy, who looked like a thug, hugged the sweet girl's waist and laughed, "Tang Tang, how about we go to a bar today?"

"No, Brother Wu. I still have homework to do tonight," the girl seemed reluctant to go to the bar and tried to pull away his hands.

Gu Qin’s hearing was much better than an average person's. Even though they were more than a hundred meters apart, she heard the boy call the girl Tang Tang. Tang Tang? Gu Qin remembered that her eldest brother had a girlfriend whose name was also Tang Tang. Was it just a coincidence?

She turned her head and asked Lin Xinxin, "Xinxin, do you know what the beauty is called?"

Lin Xinxin looked back and smiled, "Only you don’t know. She's our school's beauty queen, a senior from Grade 12. Her name is Mo Tangtang, but everyone calls her Tang Tang. This seems to be her boyfriend; he often comes to our school to see her."

Gu Qin thought for a moment, then turned back to use her Heavenly Eye to look at Mo Tangtang. The scene gradually changed—

"Big Brother Jia, I want to buy this. Can you buy it for me?" On the street illuminated by the first lights of evening, Mo Tangtang held Gu Jia’s arm and pointed to a hairpin on a small stall, pouting. "Big Brother Qin, this hairpin is so cute."

Gu Jia smiled, "As long as Tang Tang likes it, I'll buy it for you."

Mo Tangtang stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Jia, "Big Brother Jia, I love you the most."

Her gaze toward him was focused, not seeming to be pretending.

Gu Qin couldn’t bear to watch any longer; goosebumps covered her body. She retracted her Heavenly Eye, deciding not to get involved. Big Brother was already eighteen. She realized that Big Brother’s personality was rather selfish, after all, the upbringing and character shaped by Gu Yuanjiang over the past decade had a deep impact on him. Many of his current behaviors were quite selfish.

Gu Qin knew that directly telling him would have no effect. Instead, she thought it better to let him experience things himself. With more experiences, his mindset would change.

Gu Jia wasn't likable right now, but he was her family. When Gu Yuanjiang wanted to sell her heart, he stood by her side. Gu Qin felt that was enough. As for the rest, as long as he distanced himself from Gu Yuanjiang, he would gradually change. It couldn't be denied that parents had the greatest influence on their children. Fortunately, she became Gu Qin. Fortunately, her mother divorced. Fortunately, she stayed away from Gu Yuanjiang.

Since Gu Qin had no intention of interfering, she also didn't care how many boyfriends Mo Tangtang had. She returned home with Lin Xinxin. They had dinner at the Gu family home, where only the three of them ate, as Gu Jia was not there.

The incident at Yun City Bus Station was significant. Cheng Yinxiang also learned about it and discussed it with the two children during dinner. She praised the brave girl who resisted the thugs. However, she then reminded them, "If you encounter something like this, if you have the ability, you should definitely help. That girl had skills and could fight, so she could help. If you encounter bad people, remember not to act recklessly, okay? Safety first."

Both nodded without objection.

After dinner, Gu Qin gave a bottle of honey to Lin Xinxin and told her it was rare wild honey. She advised her to mix a spoonful with warm water every day and it would treat many chronic diseases.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

After sending Lin Xinxin off, Gu Qin took the eight copper coins she had obtained in Yun City. These coins were stained with blood and had heavier yin energy, which required wrapping them in talismans to prevent the yin energy from leaking out. Gu Qin had no intention of discarding these coins or dispelling the yin energy on them. They could be used for arrays or as weapons later, as long as they were wrapped in talismans and wouldn't affect her family.

When news of the riot in Yun City spread, it shocked the entire nation. There was shock over the event itself and the fact that a young girl could resist the rioters. Regardless, the incident caused a stir both in news reports and online.

Chen Yi from Yun City couldn't quite believe what was happening when he learned about the riot and the girl who resisted many of the rioters. He recalled Gu Qin asking him if he knew about any large construction equipment in the southwest part of Yun City. Why did the station erupt into violence the next day? And why did Gu Qin seem so concerned when she saw the blood-red sunset, even going up to the rooftop to observe the stars? He knew about the divination technique called stargazing. Could it be that Gu Qin knew something big was going to happen in the southwest part of the city and insisted on leaving the new south bus station?

It must be that girl, Gu Master, Chen Yi sighed, feeling both relieved and excited. Of course, he had no intention of spreading this information, not even to his wife.

At the same time, a divine thread appeared online, exactly the post Gu Qin had replied to before, predicting that there would be a major disaster in Yun City on October 24th. Now it had come true. Below the thread were countless comments like "worship and bookmark" and many private messages to Gu Qin asking if she could provide fortune-telling services or predictions. Naturally, there were also those who insulted her. But Gu Qin hadn't logged onto the forum since the incident, so she had no idea that tens of thousands of people had messaged her.

In the initial days following the riot, the incident was widely discussed. After returning from Yun City, Gu Qin no longer paid attention to it, and neither did Lin Xinxin. They didn't discuss it in public either. Gu Qin had told Lin Xinxin that her information wouldn't be leaked to the police, so the incident couldn't be shared with others. She didn't want anyone to know it was her.

That day after school, Gu Qin and Lin Xinxin had just left the school gate when they saw Gu Jia waiting there.

Gu Jia, except for his outfit that Gu Qin didn't like, actually had very good looks. Both Gu Yuanjiang and Cheng Yinxiang had attractive appearances, and their siblings had inherited their good looks. Gu Qin's development had been delayed due to unintentional use of her Heavenly Eye, but in recent months, as she practiced, she grew taller, her skin whitened, and her figure started to develop. She was different from the skinny girl she used to be.

However, many girls liked guys like Gu Jia, and they were looking out for him at the school gate. Gu Jia spotted Gu Qin immediately, waved, and walked over. "Gu Qin, finish school and go home quickly, don't worry your mom."

"You?" Gu Qin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Coming to find your girlfriend?"

Gu Jia smiled, "My girlfriend is also in your school, she's a senior from Grade 12. She's the school beauty queen, called Mo Tangtang. Do you know her?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Lin Xinxin choked on her saliva. As middle school friends, she knew Gu Jia well. She stared at Gu Jia in surprise, "Brother Jia, who did you say your girlfriend is?"

"Mo Tangtang, do you know her, Xinxin?"

"No..." Lin Xinxin, seeing Gu Qin was not surprised, didn't know whether to tell the truth, "Nothing..."

Gu Qin smiled, "Xinxin, you don't need to hide it for him. I've told him, but he doesn't believe me. If he doesn't believe me, let him see for himself."

"Don't talk nonsense," Gu Jia still didn't believe her. Seeing Mo Tangtang coming out of the school, he ignored the two and walked towards her, saying to Gu Qin, "Remember to go home early."

Mo Tangtang, seeing no one else around, breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Gu Jia's reminder, she became curious and asked, "Why?"

"This is my sister, in the same school as you, but she's only in Grade 1," Gu Jia explained, "She's your senior."

Mo Tangtang's face changed slightly, glancing at Gu Qin, who looked calm. Assuming she didn't know about her other boyfriend, she felt relieved. Suddenly, the sound of a heavy motorcycle echoed nearby. Mo Tangtang's face darkened as she saw Five Brother ride up.

Five Brother was twenty years old, not a student anymore. He had dropped out after high school and was considered a small-time thug in Dai Mountain. He had been dating Mo Tangtang for two years. Five Brother used to attend the same school as Mo Tangtang, but he graduated before she started high school. Thus, those who knew Mo Tangtang were aware of her relationship with Five Brother, except Gu Jia.

As Five Brother stopped his motorcycle in front of her, Mo Tangtang struggled to free herself from his grip. Remembering what her sister had said, Gu Jia suddenly understood what was happening and his face turned pale.

Five Brother's face also darkened as he pointed at Gu Jia and asked Mo Tangtang, "Who is he!"

Gu Jia responded coldly, "Who is he?"

Mo Tangtang almost cried, pushing Gu Jia, "Brother Jia, leave first. We can talk tomorrow."

"No way!" Five Brother jumped off his motorcycle, realizing what was happening. He grabbed Gu Jia by the collar and was about to hit him. Mo Tangtang screamed, "Five Brother, let him go, don't hit him."

"Then tell me who he is!" Five Brother's forehead veins bulged. He pushed Mo Tangtang to the ground and shouted, "You sl*t, you're cheating on me!"

Mo Tangtang's sweet image vanished as she lay on the ground crying, "I told you I wanted to break up with you. Did you think I didn't know? How many girlfriends do you have outside? I told you I wanted to break up, but you kept pursuing me. Brother Jia is my boyfriend, I like him." She genuinely liked Gu Jia because he was better-looking and treated her well.

Five Brother was furious and lunged at Gu Jia. They began fighting. Although Gu Jia was tall and strong, he rarely exercised and spent most of his time at home playing games. He was no match for Five Brother and received several punches.

Gu Qin couldn't help but sigh. If this happened elsewhere, she wouldn't interfere, but this was at the school gate, and Gu Jia was a student. Losing this fight would bring shame to him and her. Gu Qin made a hand gesture and whispered a spell. Suddenly, Five Brother felt weak, and just as Gu Jia's punch landed on his nose, he collapsed.

From then on, it was nearly one-sided as Gu Jia continued to beat Five Brother. Once he saw that Five Brother had no fight left, he stopped and coldly said to Mo Tangtang, who was crying on the side, "We're breaking up. I didn't know you had another boyfriend. Mo Tangtang, this is really unfair!"

Without looking back, he left.

Mo Tangtang chased after him. Five Brother lay on the ground, regaining his strength after a while. Feeling humiliated, he decided to leave. Riding his motorcycle, he disappeared. The commotion ended.

Lin Xinxin sympathetically glanced at Gu Qin, "Poor Brother Jia, ending up with such a woman, cheating on him."

Gu Qin touched her nose without saying anything. Later that night, Gu Jia finally came home for dinner, his face bruised. Cheng Yinxiang asked, "Jia Jia, what happened to your face?"

Gu Jia glanced at Gu Qin, "Don't worry, Mom. I accidentally bumped into something."

After dinner, Gu Qin finished her homework and sat in the living room playing with three copper coins, her divination tools. The coins were worn from frequent handling and absorbed some primordial energy, slowly turning into magical artifacts. Gu Jia sat next to Gu Qin, watching Cheng Yinxiang in the room, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell Mom. I've broken up with her. Luckily, I didn't give her the honey."

The honey helped with his throat inflammation and gave him more energy.

Gu Qin responded with an "Uh-huh" and continued playing with the coins. After a while, she glanced at Gu Jia's face and noticed that the blackness on his forehead was darker than before. She knew this trouble wasn't over yet, as the man was a socialite who would likely retaliate against Gu Jia.

"Brother, be careful. Your forehead is darkening. Something bad will happen soon," Gu Qin warned him.

Gu Jia snorted, "Do you know how to read fortunes?"

"Still don't believe me?" Gu Qin smiled, "Didn't I tell you she had a boyfriend and that you would have a minor misfortune? Didn't everything come true?"

Gu Jia didn't believe his sister could read fortunes, "That's because you're in the same school and naturally knew she had a boyfriend."

Feeling embarrassed after being caught in a lie by his sister, Gu Jia went to his room, sullen.
