Lu Xingzhou doesn’t cultivate divination, but Yuan Muyu is proficient and has taught A’nuo, so he understands the concept.

The Yu Guan is in charge of fishing and hunting in the mountains and lakes. Hunting deer in the mountains without the assistance of the Yu Guan is very difficult to succeed. It is not to the extent of being an inauspicious hexagram, but it is certainly not auspicious.

Also, the meaning obtained from the hexagram words is not necessarily “auspicious or inauspicious” or “should or should not do.” It can also hint at what is missing or guide on how to proceed.

The hint is that there is no Yu Guan. Either don’t do it, or if you want to do it, you should find the Yu Guan.

In fact, Lu Xingzhou has always been looking for the Yu Guan… the Sheng family is, and the Pei family is too. He has always been trying to gather strength that can be borrowed, otherwise how could he deal with the He family alone?

But does the meaning of this hexagram suggest that he has been looking in the wrong direction and hasn’t found the truly suitable one? It’s hard to say. Sheng Qingfeng may not be of any help in dealing with the He family, and the Pei family was originally against the He family, so pulling them in or not makes little difference. Looking at it this way, does it seem that he really needs to find another way?

This is the most annoying thing about hexagram words. Even if the national teacher herself were here, she might not be able to explain it clearly.

“Still, thank the national teacher for this hexagram. At least it makes my heart a little more certain. I will reconsider other help.” Lu Xingzhou didn’t say more, just smiled: “Speaking of which, why did the national teacher suddenly divine this hexagram for me? Does she know me?”

“How could she not know? What is your relationship with her disciple?”

Lu Xingzhou’s face turned green: “She wouldn’t know, right…”

Sheng Yuanyao: “?”

“Cough.” Lu Xingzhou quickly changed the subject: “This hexagram can also refer to others towards me, right? Look at Ye Wufeng, isn’t he the typical headless fly, bringing trouble upon himself?”

And also Pei Chuyun.

Looking at it this way, this hexagram is really accurate.

Sheng Yuanyao’s attention was indeed diverted. She smiled: “Anyway, it’s good that you have a plan. I was just afraid you would seek revenge blindly, in case something happens…”

She lowered her voice as she spoke, finally bowing her head and not speaking.

Lu Xingzhou lowered his head, looking at her expression, and for the first time felt that Sister Gua had a bit of feminine charm.

Sister Gua, with a bit of feminine charm, is really quite good-looking… Compared to her previous dedicated-to-duty look, she has a different flavor, and the contrast makes her even more beautiful.

In fact, even without Pei Chuyun saying anything, how could Lu Xingzhou not know that Sister Gua’s performance was very likely due to her heart being moved? But he dared not respond.

Sheng Yuanyao might not be the same as Pei Chuyun. The little demoness of Hehuan Sect can be casual in this aspect, but Sheng Yuanyao’s identity dictates that she cannot just indulge in momentary pleasure. With Shen Tang there, Sheng Yuanyao is destined to hide her thoughts in her heart and not dare to express them. Lu Xingzhou also dares not flirt casually, as it will cause trouble.

Anyway, the ripples from saving the beauty this time, without the test of time, are just like the ambiguity caused by being hit by the charm technique at that time, definitely difficult to last long. Perhaps the next time they meet on the road, it will just be a sentence, “Old friend, are you well?” After some time, Sister Gua’s mood should also calm down, right?

Thinking about it this way is quite tragic. When Pei Chuyun recognizes her ancestors and returns to the clan, her Pei family identity will make it even more impossible to be casual… It’s over, nothing is left.

“You…” Sheng Yuanyao retreated half a step, and said carefully: “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing.” Lu Xingzhou smiled seemingly casually: “Is it okay to look at you because you’re good-looking?”

Sheng Yuanyao bit her lower lip: “Don’t flirt with me.”

Could it be that you don’t know that your sentence is more flirty than anything? Lu Xingzhou wanted to say but stopped, and the words on the tip of his tongue became: “What am I flirting with you for? Do I look like a gay man?”

“You!” Sheng Yuanyao glared angrily, but quickly turned into a fake smile: “Is that so, hey, my mother introduced me to a young master from a censor’s family again. How about you accompany me to meet him another day and help me check him out?”

“No need to check, none of them match.” Lu Xingzhou said seriously: “Next time if someone introduces you to a girl, I can accompany you to see.”

Sheng Yuanyao flew up and kicked him.

Because of her back injury, she couldn’t use much force, so this kick was soft and weak. Lu Xingzhou subconsciously reached out to catch it and did.

The air was quiet for a moment. Lu Xingzhou watched Sheng Yuanyao’s face turn redder and redder, but her eyes did not show any anger. Instead, there was some avoidance: “Hey… still not letting go… I-my back hurts.”

Lu Xingzhou quickly let go and clumsily shifted the topic: “Well, how about I look at your back?”

Actually, with that kind of injury on her back, there was really no need to keep looking for an alchemist. The Sheng family had been in Zhenmo Si for so long, they were very skilled in dealing with these simple external injuries themselves. Moreover, if she really needed medicine changed, it would be A’nuo looking, and she would eventually need to undress…

But Sheng Yuanyao’s eyes slightly moved, and she just whispered “um”: “Then you look. I feel something is not right.”

This put Lu Xingzhou in a dilemma. He was just casually changing the subject, but did he really need to look? Undress and look?

He thought for a moment, and simply supported her to the garden pavilion. He looked around, and clearly there was no one around, but Lu Xingzhou still casually set up a concealment array. Sheng Yuanyao just looked at him fixedly, with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

You really dare to come and undress me, huh?

However, she saw Lu Xingzhou sit behind her, and extended his palm to press against her injury.

A stream of spiritual energy, like water spirits, spread over, cutting open the blood clot and nourishing the flesh. It was as if she was soaking in a spiritual spring, so comfortable that she couldn’t help but lightly hum.

As soon as she made a sound, Sheng Yuanyao immediately covered her mouth, her eyes rolling around, and then she remembered that he had set up an array.

It’s over. If people outside heard this sound, would it be the same as when I first heard Shen Tang’s sound outside the carriage?

“You…” Sheng Yuanyao barely managed to say: “So you know healing techniques. Why didn’t you use them for me that day?”

“Not techniques, just water spirit power. I rarely consciously call it out and release it, and I’m not used to it myself… I called it out once during the battle with Ye Wufeng last night, and then I started to get familiar with it.”

Sheng Yuanyao didn’t speak, feeling comfortable and slightly itchy on her back, her mind a little distant.

Clearly, a subtle charm was rippling between the two hearts, but both suppressed it, not daring to express anything that would cross the line. This feeling was a bit stifling, no longer the easy and free way they used to get along.

After a long while, Sheng Yuanyao finally calmly asked: “You and Shen Tang, what is your relationship exactly?”

At this moment, she extremely hoped that his relationship with Shen Tang was merely the same as her own just now, that kind of sound was just a misunderstanding… But Lu Xingzhou’s palm paused slightly, and he still answered: “Lovers.”

Sheng Yuanyao was completely speechless.

Suddenly, she felt a bit like laughing. What kind of answer did she want?

If Lu Xingzhou was someone who played with women’s feelings, he would have said “the normal relationship between the sect master and the guest elder” just now. Then what? I would have been played, right?

It’s a good thing he’s not that kind of person in the end.

It was clearly a commendable frankness, yet why was it so uncomfortable?

Sheng Yuanyao sighed deeply, her tense muscles gradually relaxed, and she suddenly smiled: “Hey, then do you know what our relationship is?”

Lu Xingzhou was startled: “Friends.”

Sheng Yuanyao hummed: “You are my case suspect, full of lies. I asked you the first sentence, and you only confessed the truth today.”

What was their first sentence?

“Name?”

“Lu Xingzhou.”

Yes, the first sentence was a lie, and he only confessed the truth today.

Lu Xingzhou couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about it this way: “Then, Commander Sheng, do you want to continue tracking the He family case?”

“What other ghost ideas do you have?”

“Come, I’ll take you to eat melon.”

Sheng Yuanyao was immediately interested: “Where are we going?”

“Zhenmo Si.”

“…That’s me taking you to eat melon. Can you go in without me?”

“Then I’ll take you to a place you don’t know?”

“Where?”

“Yanluo Hall Branch.”

Sheng Yuanyao immediately stood up: “Let’s go. I want to see if there are Ox-Heads and Horse-Faces inside.”

“There are no Ox-Heads or Horse-Faces, but a little pig will be going in soon, that’s real.”

“I’m a little pig, what are you?”

“Little Gou, didn’t Commander Sheng personally seal it?”

The two of them bickered all the way out the door, and that faintly oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared.

A’nuo followed behind, opening his mouth, then closing it.

Did you two forget that there are still people here?

Or are you saying that everyone is closer to Lu Xingzhou than A’nuo, you liars.

While the two of them were strolling in the garden after dinner, Madam Sheng hid away to give the young people a “matchmaking space,” while Sheng Qingfeng didn’t have this leisure time. He went to Zhenmo Si.

He Heng and the infant ghost were only escorted to the capital this morning from Menggui City.

The main reason was that He Heng was too severely injured, his bones were almost completely shattered, and his dantian was completely destroyed. Moving a little too much might take his life. Meng Guan personally escorted him, carefully protecting him in the carriage all the way, and it took this long to arrive in the capital.

He arrived in the capital in the morning, reported to the emperor, and the trial began in the afternoon.

The matter of colluding with demon cultivators was a serious issue, whether it was He Heng’s personal behavior or the He family’s behavior. Gu Zhanting personally came to listen to the trial.

At noon, He Xingyuan went to Lu Xingzhou’s inn again, but only that nasty little maid with a broom was driving people away. Lu Xingzhou and his disciple were nowhere to be found. The large pile of gold and silver brought that day to show goodwill was completely wasted. Helpless, he could only go to the public hall first.

Under Sheng Qingfeng’s interrogation, the remnant soul of the infant ghost completely couldn’t withstand it and weakly replied: “Indeed, it was the fourth young master He who invited me to kill Lu Xingzhou.”

Sheng Qingfeng pressed the question: “He Heng had just arrived in Menggui City, how did he know you?”

The infant ghost weakly answered: “Originally, that Magistrate Shi was a member of the He family. I was with him, and through him, I connected with the He family…”

Grand Tutor He Liancheng sternly interrupted: “I fundamentally don’t know you, don’t randomly slander!”

He bowed to Gu Zhanting: “Your Majesty, how can the words of a demon cultivator be believed? Moreover, soul searching will reveal that his master is the Hehuan Saintess, obviously it is to frame the He family.”

Pei Qingyan twitched his mouth.

Before hearing that the infant ghost’s master was the Hehuan Saintess, he didn’t feel anything, but this time, his heart was simply filled with mixed emotions.

Old fellow, you want to frame my daughter, huh?

He immediately stepped forward: “Your Majesty, since Grand Tutor He thinks that the demon cultivator’s words cannot be believed, then a soul search is enough. It absolutely cannot be faked.”

Before, Pei Qingyan also wanted to let Lu Xingzhou testify, mainly because he wasn’t sure. In case the soul search revealed that it was truly unrelated to the He family, then everything would fall apart. But now he is very confident. Anyway, it’s impossible for my daughter to do it, otherwise how could she and Lu Xingzhou be together? Did this confidence just come from this?
