Leaving the hotel, it was already past ten in the evening. A row of luxury cars drove into the villa area, stopping in front of the largest and most extravagant house, a tall European-style building. At the entrance stood over twenty uniformed household staff members, who hurried over to open the car doors as soon as the vehicles came to a halt.
Yan Kongyue finally relaxed upon seeing the grand mansion; she had been worried that the Lin family's residence would be an old-fashioned building.
"Yue Yue! Your room has been arranged on the second floor. Although it's located at the far east end, it has a large terrace where you can see the small garden in the backyard. Miss Wei is right next door, and you two are the only ones on this floor. Your brothers don’t live in this building; they have their own houses behind here, so you don’t need to worry about any inconvenience while staying here," Aunt said as she pulled Yan Kongyue to sit on the sofa.
Yan Kongyue didn’t mind much, but Wei He couldn’t help but be amazed. The Lin family truly lived up to their reputation as the wealthiest family in Hua Guo, with seven sons and seven villas. In a place like Beijing, where land was so precious, they actually owned an entire villa area.
Even though she was temporarily staying here, how could she ever repay this family’s kindness?
"Thank you, Aunt. You really thought of everything!"
"Don’t be so polite with me. Although our family is large, we all get along well. In this house, if you need anything, just tell the housekeeper directly!"
After chatting for a while, everyone got up to prepare for their respective rooms. Just as they were saying goodnight, Yan Kongyue suddenly said, "Uncle, when you go out tomorrow, make sure to turn right at the first intersection and left when you encounter water."
"Oh? Why?" The sudden remark surprised Lin Jingyang, who instinctively asked.
"It’s nothing much, but when you stood up just now, your brow suddenly darkened. Tomorrow will surely bring bloodshed!"
In fact, Yan Kongyue held back some details; while it wouldn’t be life-threatening, it would definitely involve serious injury. Even with her spiritual power for healing, he would still have to endure some pain.
"Understood," Lin Jingyang replied. As a soldier, he didn’t believe in superstitions; he was a high-ranking military official and had been informed about the establishment of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau by his superiors. He knew what it was about and even if he personally didn’t believe in such things, he couldn’t afford to ignore them.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Yan Kongyue rummaged through her backpack and found a coin which she stuffed into Lin Jingyang's military uniform pocket. "Uncle, make sure to keep this on you at all times!"
She possessed a celestial body that allowed her to see things others couldn’t. Unless necessary, she wouldn’t casually pry into others' secrets or meddle with their fates.
Seeing Yan Kongyue’s resolute expression warmed Lin Jingyang's heart. Although they had only known each other for a day, this girl cared so much about her family. He nodded solemnly and said, "Then I’ll thank you for this, Kongyue!"
"Mm!"
"Yue Yue, what about Aunt?" Aunt quickly leaned her face closer to Yan Kongyue.
Lin Feng facepalmed; his usually dignified mother was acting so shamelessly today—where had her composure gone? What happened to that refined young lady?
"It’s nothing serious; it’s just that your eldest brother might encounter some trouble lately and should pay more attention to those around him!"
Yan Kongyue's abilities were extraordinary. While undertaking missions in other realms, she had to learn about metaphysics to conceal her true strength. She excelled in various disciplines like medicine and fortune-telling but didn’t want people to misunderstand her as part of Xuanmen or Zhong Ren.
Thus, she could only share half-truths mixed with fabrications; the truths concerned people's fortunes while the fabrications could cover a broader range.
Don't ask why; just ask. It doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat; as long as it can catch mice, it's a cat. She had already seen through Lin Lie's situation long ago; she just never had the chance to speak up.
