[ILivestreamDivination] Chapter 40.2 — Funeral for the Living

Horror flashed in everyone’s eyes, and even the movements of their hands stopped. They were shocked to see An Rugu’s calm expression.

“Fang Ruoshui???”

“Did you arrest Fang Ruoshui?”

“Did you also find that guardian artifact?”

An Rugu hmmed softly in agreement, without any intention of saying anything more. Her attitude was very cold, and her neck was long and slender, like an aloof crane.

The other people’s eyes flashed with deep shock, and they couldn’t believe it at all.

Although the Lu Ban Sect had been in decline, it still had ability, and the name of the traitor—Fang Ruoshui—was very famous in metaphysical circles.

A few days ago, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, Nancheng’s guardian artifact was stolen by Fang Ruoshui, and all the cultivators in Nancheng were mobilized.

But they weren’t confident at all—they didn’t think they could find the city’s guardian artifact before it could be destroyed. After all, Fang Ruoshui was one who shouldn’t be underestimated.

She was a very vicious person, and she had the Lu Ban sutra in her hand. Even the most knowledgeable person at the scene had to consider whether they could withstand the mysterious and unpredictable art of ‘Loathing Victory’. What’s more, Fang Ruoshui had Youdu behind her and must have many people working with her.

However, before they could even begin to scour Nancheng city for any clues, news already came from the Special Cases Management Bureau before the night even deepened.

The guardian artifact stolen by Fang Ruoshui had already been found!

All the metaphysics practitioners in Nancheng were shocked and naturally found themselves brimming with curiosity about the person who subdued Fang Ruoshui.

Who was this powerful person who subdued Fang Ruoshui—who had the ‘Loathing Victory’ technique in her hands and Youdu at her call—and managed to seize the guardian artifact before it could be destroyed?

They all asked around. They were very curious about which elder from which metaphysics family in Nancheng couldn’t bear for the feng shui of Nancheng to be destroyed and bravely took action.

However, all the elders they knew who would have the ability to confront Fang Ruoshui said that they had not seen Fang Ruoshui—had not even found a hair on her head—and they all received the same news that the guardian artifact had already been found.

Right now, everyone in the Nancheng metaphysics circle was extremely curious about this mysterious person.

It turned out that the mysterious person was the young and beautiful woman in front of them?

Lin Chuji saw that they were very curious. His eyes bent in good cheer, and his tone was full of admiration, “Yes! When my sister told me what happened last time, I was also very surprised. Not only did she find Nancheng’s guardian artifact, but Fang Ruoshui also surrendered upon her instigation.”

Everyone: “???”

Everyone only knew that the guardian artifact had been safely found, but only now did they learn that Fang Ruoshui had surrendered.

The way they looked at An Rugu suddenly changed. She actually caused a murderer who killed her own family member to surrender!

This was not something ordinary people could do.

Before everyone’s surprised or admiring gazes, An Rugu’s eyes remained cold and unfazed. As if she thought of something, she turned to look at Lin Chuji next to her, “You said your sister?”

Lin Chuji said with a smile: “My sister’s name is Lin Weiyu, and she works in the Special Cases Management Bureau. She often tells me about you, and then laments how there is such a big gap between people. I heard that you also do livestreams. I have always found myself quite curious about you. What a great coincidence it is today to finally meet you.”

An Rugu was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Lin Chuji looked a bit like Lin Weiyu when he smiled.

“What school does your family belong to?”

“The Three Harmonies School. My ancestor was a disciple of Lord Yang.”

The theory of feng shui that was based on the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and the Five Elements of Yin and Yang was called the ‘Three Harmonies School’ for short. The Three Harmonies School had ancient origins: during the Tang Dynasty, when the rebellion broke through the capital, Teacher Yang carried secret feng shui teachings to Ganzhou, taught them to his apprentices, and gradually became popular among the people.

Lin Chuji saw that she had her roots in Nancheng but didn’t know the history of her own home. He scratched his face and considerately introduced matters, “There are about a dozen feng shui families now, and each of them inherits different feng shui teachings. For example, our family inherited the ‘Three Harmonies School’, as well as the ‘Golden Lock Jade Mountain Pass’, ‘Mysterious Vastness Flying Star’…

“Our family’s reputation ranks first in Nancheng and among the top three in the country.”

When he said this, the corners of his mouth raised. Obviously he was proud of his family’s achievements.

“I understand,” An Rugu said quietly, her expression calm.

Lin Chuji picked up his compass and felt a little nervous, “Mr. Xu asked our family to come and take a look at the feng shui, but I don’t know if there is actually something wrong with the feng shui or there is something else.”

After he achieved success in his studies, his family gave him this job to practice. This was his first time taking an order alone, so he was a little nervous, always feeling that he would mess up.

An Rugu glanced at him and noticed that he was a little nervous. Thinking that this was Lin Weiyu’s younger brother, she gave him rare words of comfort, “If the soldiers come, let the generals block it, and if the water comes, use earth to dam it.¹”

Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicately outlined as if they were drawn with the finest brushwork, and her temperament was as cold as melted snow.

When he met her eyes, it was like a cold wind blowing across his cheeks, and he couldn’t help but calm down.

Lin Chuji looked at her and was stunned. His ears turned a little red, “I understand!”

… …

At this time, there was a sudden noise upstairs. A man in his fifties walked over, followed by two or three secretaries.

Xu Han was wearing a suit and eyeglasses, had an elegant temperament, and half of his hair was white. He was obviously only in his fifties, but when he walked, he had the look and feel of an old man who was near death.

He coughed lightly, walked weakly to the table, sat down, and after greeting everyone, said his true intention. “I invited all the masters here this time to ask you for your help. Look at me, why am I suddenly aging?”

A middle-aged Daoist man asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Xu Han sighed, “I don’t know why, but it started about ten days ago. When I woke up, half of my black hair had suddenly turned white, and I felt very weak when walking. After the doctors had a look at me, they said that my current cell activity was no different from that of an elderly person in their 70s or 80s. I am only 50 years old, why did I suddenly get such a strange premature aging disease?”

Lin Chuji thought about the TV series he once watched and asked curiously, “Hair turning grey overnight? Did you encounter some kind of heartbreaking experience?”

In TV dramas, some people’s hair turned white overnight when they encountered great pain.

Xu Han sighed again, “The strange thing is that I don’t have anything to worry about.”

Everyone was thinking: Xu Han had been in good health and did not have any deep worries. But when he woke up one day, half of the hair on his head had suddenly turned white and his body functions declined abnormally fast.

It was indeed strange.
