Chapter 11

In the eyes of the diviners, the future is always as elusive as flowers seen through mist, filled with all sorts of mystery and unpredictability.

However, to a 'famous' diviner— the future, with people's different choices, can produce many different futures. But no matter which choice, it is not a coincidence.

Because there is no such thing as coincidence in the world; there is only inevitability.

Even if two people seem to meet by chance, it is actually an inevitable event. One inevitable event after another pushes the wheels of history forward, developing into various inevitable futures!

After saying so much, the point is actually just one— that the results of divination are never wrong. Even if they are wrong, it is only because the divination shows the inevitable future of another parallel world. And you have just developed into another inevitable future.

Therefore, the one who is wrong is not the diviner, but the world!

The above is the righteous statement of a diviner who has performed countless divinations but has never been right. You probably already guessed it— this diviner is the Copper Diviner Master in the Nine Provinces No. 1 Group.

Although he is a very unreliable diviner, his words are somewhat twistedly logical.

...

...

Song Shuhang never thought he would encounter the black-haired, long-legged beauty. After all, the world is so big, how could there be so many coincidences?

However, he didn't expect that after wandering around for a bit, he would meet the girl again.

He was just coming out of the Glory Beef Shop, holding a large bag of specialties from the food paradise, preparing to take them back to his roommates. As soon as he stepped out of the shop, he saw the black-haired, long-legged girl dragging a huge suitcase walking quickly towards him.

This time, Song Shuhang saw firsthand how 'long legs, walking fast' can be impressive. Even though there was still a considerable distance when he first saw her, in the blink of an eye, the girl had already taken a few steps and was right in front of him.

Song Shuhang slightly moved to the side to make way for her, making it easier for her to drag her huge suitcase through.

"Thank you," the black-haired beauty said softly, very shyly.

Then she stepped into the small shop behind her.

Song Shuhang nodded slightly, checked the time, and felt it was about time to head back to the dormitory.

As he lifted his leg and took a few steps, the black-haired beauty behind him had already finished buying things and was asking the shop owner for information. Song Shuhang didn't intend to eavesdrop on others' conversations, but he just happened to hear her question.

And the question the girl asked made Song Shuhang's foot, which was already lifted, freeze in mid-air...

"Boss, do you know if there is a temple called 'Ghoul Lamp Temple' near Luoxin Street?"

The shop owner thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Ghoul Lamp Temple? I haven't heard of it. But I've only been here for two years, so I'm not familiar with many places nearby. Miss, you might want to ask the old shopkeepers; they have been in Luoxin Street for a longer time and know more."

The shop owner was clearly a kind and enthusiastic person, explaining warmly; or perhaps in this era of face recognition, the black-haired girl had a natural aura that increased people's goodwill by 100 points.

Ghoul Lamp Temple, Luoxin Street?

Song Shuhang naturally thought of the girl in the group called Yurouzi from Lingdie Island.

Did I hear wrong?

Thinking this, Song Shuhang took out his large phone from his pocket, swiped to unlock it, and then skillfully opened the chat app and the Nine Provinces No. 1 Group.

After he left, the group indeed had several new chat records.

First, there was a message from Yurouzi from Lingdie Island over two hours ago.

She said she couldn't find any information about Ghoul Lamp Temple, but she had already taken a taxi directly to Luoxin Street. Then, she planned to ask the local residents directly.

Next was a message from twenty minutes ago.

Yurouzi from Lingdie Island left a message: "I have arrived at Luoxin Street smoothly. There are so many people here, very lively, completely different from what I imagined. It turns out to be a food street, and I saw many delicious things on my way here."

It was clear that she was in a good mood, both because she had 'smoothly' found Luoxin Street and because there were many delicious things here.

"From Jiangnan District Airport, it takes about two hours by car; then, there are many delicious things in Luoxin Street." Song Shuhang rubbed his face.

Starting from Jiangnan Airport, even if they were speeding, it would be impossible to reach City J in two hours.

If we consider the taxi travel time and Yurouzi's description of the destination, she was most likely in the wrong place—she had not reached Luoxin Street in City J but had come to the food paradise near Jiangnan University Town.

If it wasn't a coincidence, the black-haired beauty with the super long legs behind him might be Yurouzi?

The thought of a modern, fashionable beauty possibly being a middle schooler in a fantasy world gave Song Shuhang a strange feeling.

However... just based on this, it couldn't be confirmed that the black-haired beauty was Yurouzi.

It's also possible that there was a special event at Ghoul Lamp Temple in Luoxin Street in City J, and many people were heading there. Then, it was inevitable that many people, like Yurouzi in the group, would end up in the wrong place.

This possibility was small, but not impossible.

Song Shuhang's fingers continued to swipe on the phone screen, but there were no new messages in the group chat. Beihan Sanren was not online, perhaps helping to inquire about Ghoul Lamp Temple?

As Song Shuhang was swiping the screen, Yurouzi from Lingdie Island in the chat group just sent a voice message.

Song Shuhang subconsciously clicked on it.

...

...

Yurouzi, tired, dragged her suitcase out of the shop, somewhat disappointed.

This was already the twelfth shop. The shop owner's suggestion was good, but whether it was an old shop or a new one, she had asked many, and no one knew about Ghoul Lamp Temple.

Sighing, she took out her phone, her thumb moving skillfully, opened the chat app, and clicked on the Nine Provinces No. 1 chat window.

The expected reply from Beihan Senior had not yet come.

Because it was inconvenient to type with one hand, she opened the voice function and said softly, "Senior Beihan, do you have any information about Ghoul Lamp Temple? I have asked many shopkeepers in Luoxin Street, but no one knows about Ghoul Lamp Temple. Please reply if you receive this."

Her thumb released, and the voice message was sent successfully.

She put away her phone and decided to continue asking the shopkeepers in Luoxin Street about Ghoul Lamp Temple before receiving a reply from Beihan Sanren; she couldn't give up!

At the shop entrance, Yurouzi saw the young man who had let her pass earlier still standing by the roadside, holding his phone and swiping, not sure what he was doing.

Yurouzi didn't pay much attention and continued walking.

Just then... a familiar voice came from the young man's phone.

"Senior Beihan, do you have any information about Ghoul Lamp Temple? I have asked many shopkeepers in Luoxin Street, but no one knows about Ghoul Lamp Temple. Please reply if you receive this."

This... isn't my voice?

And this is the voice message I just sent!

Yurouzi was first stunned, then an indescribable joy welled up in her heart— the young man in front of her was actually a senior from the Nine Provinces group!

Yurouzi, who was lost and dejected, suddenly felt like a drowning person had caught a lifeline.

She took two steps and quickly reached the side of the young 'senior'!

...

...

Song Shuhang had just clicked on the voice message Yurouzi sent in the group, a soft and pleasant voice. At that moment, he suddenly felt someone sneak up behind him.

Then a fragrant scent wafted into his nose, a faint floral scent, somewhat like a woman's body scent.

Song Shuhang turned his head and saw the black-haired, long-legged girl standing behind him with a joyful look, her eyes fixed on his phone.

"Nine Provinces No. 1 Group?" The black-haired girl's soft voice was filled with the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

At this moment, Song Shuhang had no idea what expression to use to face this girl.

At this moment, there was no need for her to introduce herself; if Song Shuhang still couldn't guess her identity, he might as well buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

"Yurouzi from Lingdie Island?" Song Shuhang felt his voice was very unnatural, full of awkwardness.

"It's me! What is your daoist name, Senior?" Yurouzi finally calmed down a bit and began to carefully observe this 'senior'.

In her memory, every daoist in the Nine Provinces No. 1 Group, except for Su Clan's Ah Shiliu who had transcended the tribulation yesterday, was a senior.

The senior in front of her looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, but this was definitely not his real age, right? He was about 1.75 meters tall, with a kind and approachable face.

Kind and approachable... in plain terms, he had a good person's face, the kind that easily gets a 'good person card'.

Moreover, she could not sense the senior's cultivation level at all— it seemed that the senior's aura was completely concealed. When he stood in front of her, it was as if he had blended into the ordinary world, reaching the realm of returning to simplicity, like her father. This was what Yurouzi thought.

Senior?! This title made Song Shuhang's liver ache slightly.
