The riot at the bus station lasted for nearly ten days before it calmed down. Many people praised the girl who fought the thugs, but some wanted to know who she was. No photos or videos of her surfaced for a long time. Eventually, a short video appeared online, showing the girl fighting two thugs at the station entrance. She was agile and managed to subdue both thugs within seconds.
The video was blurry, making it impossible to identify the girl. Despite this, the video was quickly removed by administrators but was backed up by many users. After that, no further videos or photos emerged. This video confirmed the official statement that a girl had indeed fought the thugs, reducing skepticism and increasing praise.
Of course, Gu Qin remained unaware of these developments. It was November 5th, and several days had passed since Gu Jia broke up with Mo Tangtang. Five Brother hadn't retaliated yet, and Gu Jia thought the matter was settled. He had truly broken up with Mo Tangtang, but he teased her a bit for breaking her promise. Little did he know—
Just after school, as they crossed the road, Gu Jia was stopped by Five Brother. Gu Jia sneered, "I’ve already broken up with her. What do you want?"
"You slept with her, what does breaking up mean?" Five Brother replied casually, with his friends laughing.
Gu Jia said, "Who slept with her! Don't make things up. Friend, I didn't know she had a boyfriend. Considering this was a misunderstanding, and we met through conflict, why not become friends? Let's put this behind us."
Gu Jia wasn't foolish. He knew he couldn't win against six attackers. He needed to avoid a direct confrontation.
Five Brother laughed, "Who says we won't fight? I heard you have a younger sister at school. If you arrange for her to hang out with us, this can be forgotten. What do you think?" Five Brother grinned, "Sugar said your sister is pretty."
"What did you say?" Gu Jia lost his temper. Without thinking, he threw his bag at the guy and charged at him.
Facing six attackers, Gu Jia had no chance. Soon, he was beaten until he was curled up on the ground, unable to fight back.
Gu Jia was in excruciating pain, unable to move. He curled up, covering his head. His body ached, and his mind buzzed. He couldn't help but recall Gu Qin's warning about a blood curse. A blood curse, he thought bitterly. This certainly qualified as one, but he still didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Gu Qin could predict his misfortune just by looking at his face. It was easy to deduce that Mo Tangtang had a boyfriend, a socialite who would seek revenge.
He thought back to when Gu Qin had warned him about the impending trouble. Gu Jia's mind was a jumble of thoughts. He remembered being beaten when he tried to protect her from bullies. Then, he thought about the video of the girl fighting the thugs at the station. If he had those skills, maybe he could protect his family...
Suddenly, it started raining heavily. Five Brother and his gang stopped beating Gu Jia and sneered, "You’re lucky it’s raining. We’ll let you go this time. But remember, you took advantage of my girlfriend. If you don't let your sister hang out with us, this isn't over!"
Let his sister hang out with them? Gu Jia's head was foggy, but he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. He looked up, gritting his teeth in pain, "If you dare touch my sister, I'll kill you."
"Ha, wait and see. I’ll see if I touch your sister or not. Not only will I touch her, but I'll touch her a lot. If she's pretty, I'll make her sleep with us. Hahaha." With that, they left.
Gu Jia returned home in the rain.
Guang Qin was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. She had never known that her sister, who had lived with her for more than ten years, could be so skilled in martial arts. How could such a timid and introverted person learn kung fu? What on earth was going on? He was still lost in thought almost until they reached home. Watching his sister park the bicycle in the parking shed and walk upstairs with him, he finally grabbed her arm just before they entered their apartment, his expression complicated. "How... how did you learn kung fu?"
Guang Qin gave the same explanation she had given to Cheng Yinxiang, "I learned it from my master, and also divination. Didn’t you disbelieve when I predicted your future?"
"From your master?" Guang Jia’s face turned strange. "It takes several years to learn kung fu like this. Did you start learning from your master a few years ago?"
Guang Qin nodded. "I started very early." She didn’t want to say any more.
"Who is your master? Why didn’t I know about it?"
As soon as Li Yongsheng said this, the hall fell silent for a moment. Everyone couldn't help but take a look at Gu Qin, a young girl being a geomancer? Most of them were in the real estate business or related industries and naturally believed in feng shui, but the girl was so young that it made them doubt her identity.
Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing. Out of respect for Li Yongsheng, they still greeted Gu Qin, "Master Gu, hello. Do you have a business card? Could you give me one? Who knows if I might need your help in the future."
Gu Qin smiled, "Sorry, I don't have a business card." She hadn't paid attention to such things.
The man: "...", then suddenly regained his senses, took out a business card from his pocket, and said with a chuckle, "It's alright, it's alright. It was my mistake. Here is my card."
Gu Qin took the business card. Despite their disbelief, they all gave her their business cards out of respect. Gu Qin collected them all and put them in her small bag. Since the hall had central heating, she had taken off her coat and was now wearing a white dress, holding a glass of juice and sitting on the sofa beside Jiang Ni.
Jiang Cheng came over, not daring to sit next to Gu Qin but standing opposite her, "Master Gu, you've come?" He spoke with a hint of reverence. The shock Gu Qin had given him was immense, making him realize that there were truly such extraordinary people in the world. Even though she was younger than him, he could only feel admiration.

Gu Qin couldn't help but laugh, "Don't call me Master anymore. My sister calls me by my nickname, and it's fine if you do too."
Jiang Cheng relaxed slightly and sat down beside the two. The others also came over. Among them was a voluptuous woman with long curly hair, who was Jiang Cheng's girlfriend. She had met Gu Qin before on Wufu Bridge, but back then, Gu Qin was thin, short, and dark-skinned. Now, Gu Qin was taller, more developed, and dressed elegantly in a white dress, making her unrecognizable.
Gu Qin remembered her.
Jiang Cheng's girlfriend grabbed his arm and pouted, "Brother Cheng, who's this little girl? I noticed her earlier, quite a stir."
One of the young men was particularly striking, with fair skin and handsome features, tall and holding a Swiss Army knife in his left hand while his right arm was around a demure girl with long straight hair.
Jiang Cheng felt uncomfortable and pulled his arm away, frowning slightly, "Sit properly, steady yourself. Don't lean on me like that."
Jiang Ni couldn't help but smile seeing her brother's reaction. In fact, he seemed to be quite afraid of Gu Qin, more so than in front of elders. But he played around a lot, and it was good that he had someone he feared.
The girlfriend pouted, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you? You usually love it when I cling to you."
Gu Qin stared at him blankly, feeling a bit amused at how intimidated he was by her. Seeing Gu Qin staring at him, Jiang Cheng became even more embarrassed and pushed her away, "Alright, there are many people here. Don't act like this, it's inappropriate."
The girlfriend, noticing his gaze focused on the girl, felt unhappy and thought he had developed feelings for her, saying in a melancholic tone, "Brother Cheng, what are you doing? Have you fallen for this little girl?"
Jiang Cheng turned pale, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you recognize Master Gu? She's a geomancer."
The girlfriend, although scared of Jiang Ni, pouted and remained silent.
Jiang Cheng apologized to Gu Qin, who replied, "It's nothing, Brother Cheng, no need to apologize."
The young man playing with the Swiss Army knife finally showed some change in his indifferent expression. He sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Qin. When he saw Gu Qin, she was looking at him, and when he realized her face, he couldn't help but pause.
Gu Qin came today to establish herself as a geomancer. If she wanted to make a name for herself, she needed clients and connections. She didn't have any grand ambitions; she just wanted to be a good student and a good geomancer, known in Daishan. She enjoyed divining and arranging feng shui, but beyond that, she didn't think much about the future.
Since today was an opportunity to make a name for herself, she had come. Clearly, the young man in front of her had something to ask.
Before he could speak, Gu Qin said, "Are you here to ask about your parents?"
The young man was startled, then his eyes gradually brightened. After his parents' disappearance, he had hoped that a geomancer might know something about them. He had consulted several, but none had been helpful. He hadn't expected to meet a young geomancer here.
Perhaps due to desperation, he still hoped that this young geomancer might know something. He sat down, wanting to ask if his parents were still alive.
Gu Qin continued, "I'm sorry, I understand you might want to know if your parents have a chance to survive, but I'm sorry, your parents have already passed away."
The crowd was shocked, looking at Gu Qin in astonishment. They knew about the young man's family situation. Hearing Gu Qin say this, they were surprised, wondering if she really had the ability or had heard about the family's story.
If she had heard, she would know that the young man always asked geomancers about his parents. Because of their disappearance, the family's antique shop was poorly managed, leaving it to the old steward.
Everyone was curious about what Gu Qin would say. She said, "I'm very sorry, but I know you might want to ask if there's still hope for your parents to survive, but I'm sorry, your parents have already passed away."
The crowd was completely silent, looking at Gu Qin in shock. They were friends of the young man and had advised him to give up, but every time he was reminded that his parents might be dead, he would go mad, sometimes pushing people away or even hitting them. This girl was indeed brave.
The young man's face turned pale, his mouth trembling. His hands were shaking as well, "You're saying my parents are dead?"
Gu Qin nodded, "Perhaps you won't believe it, but one can see something from a person's face. The position of the sun and moon angles on the face represents the parents. Your sun and moon angles are dark, indicating that your parents have passed away. Your year angle is also black, indicating that your parents died recently. From your face, I can tell that your parents died in an accident. Please accept this fact."
The crowd around them had gathered closer, including Li Yongsheng's family.
Li Yongsheng's family knew about the young man's family situation. They invited him because he was familiar with Li Qi. Unexpectedly, the young man was obsessed with asking geomancers about his parents. Li Yongsheng believed in Gu Qin's abilities and thought she had figured it out without prior knowledge.
Several young people were surrounded by elders who wanted to see if Gu Qin truly had the ability.
The young man's body trembled slightly. He used his hand to cover his forehead, leaning forward. The demure girl hesitated but eventually placed her hand on his back to calm him. Suddenly, the young man lifted his head, his eyes filled with anger, "Get away, don't touch me!"
The beautiful girl couldn't bear being scolded in front of everyone and ran away crying.
In the hall, everyone felt uneasy. The young man covered his eyes, his hands shaking. After a while, he loosened his grip, his eyes red. He asked, "Do you know where my parents' bodies are?"
The young man's parents were very close. They owned a large antique shop on the antique street, doing well in business. The shop was managed by an old steward. The parents were loving and often went on trips together. Six months ago, they planned to climb Mount K2. They often went to dangerous places, and the son tried to persuade them but failed. Unfortunately, they never returned. Everyone understood what that meant, but the son refused to accept it.
He blamed himself repeatedly, wondering if he could have stopped them. He knew deep down that they were likely gone, having sent people to search but finding nothing.
Mount K2, second only to Mount Everest, is a challenging peak. The couple loved adventure, having traveled to tropical rainforests, Mount Everest, the Tibetan Plateau, ancient paths, the Three Gorges, and Changbai Mountain. However, they met their fate on Mount K2.
Such adventurous travel was indeed dangerous, but they enjoyed the thrill. Every two to three years, they would go on these trips, and even brought their son along. Recently, however, the son was busy taking over the family business, and they went more frequently.
In May, they went to Mount K2 with a team. By June, the weather was ideal for climbing. However, they lost contact with their teammates, and while the other climbers returned safely, the couple did not. Their teammates informed the son of the tragic news.
Gu Qin pondered, putting away the coins. Someone asked, "Master Gu, have you figured it out?"
The young man also looked closely at her. Gu Qin shook her head, "Not yet, it's just a start."
She decided to try another method. Though using the Heavenly Eye required visualizing the person, she could do it in dreams. With her low cultivation, she might still manage.
Gu Qin closed her eyes, reciting incantations, calming her mind. She imagined the events and location of the couple's death. In her mind, she saw Mount K2 clearly, focusing on one particular peak. Gu Qin noted its appearance.
Vaguely, she saw a couple in thick down jackets climbing the mountain. Only the two of them. The woman's safety rope was faulty, but she didn't notice and kept climbing. By the time she realized, it was too late—the rope snapped, and she fell. The man, hearing the noise, turned and saw the situation. Realizing the danger, he untied his harness and fell after her. Both landed in a crevice on the mountain, lifeless, blood seeping out, but their hands were still tightly clasped.
Gu Qin couldn't hold on anymore, opening her eyes abruptly and spitting out blood. Using the Heavenly Eye was indeed taxing. Originally, using the Heavenly Eye required bed rest for two to three months. With her low cultivation, seeing events from half a year ago without a specific person was extremely difficult, causing internal injuries.
Her sudden bleeding startled everyone. Jiang Ni quickly supported her, "Qin Qin, are you okay? Quick, Jiang Cheng, help me get her to the hospital."
Jiang Cheng fetched paper and pen. Gu Qin, though shaken, said, "Ni Jie, it's fine, I'm not seriously hurt. Bring me paper and pen, quickly."
Jiang Cheng hurried to fetch the items. Gu Qin quickly drew the mountain peak's appearance based on what she saw, marking the southeast position and the approximate landing area. She pointed to the circle, "Your parents' bodies are in this crevice on the southeast side of the mountain, halfway down. Look carefully for the crevice."
This revelation stunned everyone. Gu Qin's sudden bleeding shocked even the Li and Jiang families, who knew her abilities but were still alarmed. They had no idea she had used the Heavenly Eye so forcefully.
The cracks, and you could find your parents' bodies. But now it's already November, with heavy snow blocking the mountains, so it's impossible to find them. We can only wait until spring to go look for them."
Many people couldn't help but take a sharp breath. For a while, they didn't know whether to believe what this young girl had said. If they had heard about the Ji family's situation before, it might have been possible that they were just repeating something they had heard outside. But now? Could she really calculate the exact location of the Ji family's parents? Was she really that amazing? Seeing her confident demeanor, many people couldn't help but believe her to some extent. However, there were also those who thought she was a fraud. After all, they couldn't enter the mountain right now, and finding anyone would be impossible until spring, which was three to four months away. Who knew what might happen during that time? If someone found them in the meantime, it would be difficult to locate them if they had indeed fallen into a mountain crack.
