Chapter 86: The Strange Physiognomist (2)_1
"Miss Shangguan is indeed a noble person. An old man like me has said too much," Old Man Qi said with a self-deprecating smile, holding his grandson and preparing to leave. However, he stopped again in front of Shen Cheng.
"Sir, the malevolent aura around you is too heavy, and your dark circles indicate you should do more good deeds. Otherwise, you’ll find no peace at night or rest during the day," Old Man Qi sighed deeply. Shen Cheng stumbled, looking at the old man before him in shock.
Only when the figures of Old Man Qi and Qi Zhuochen had completely disappeared did everyone return to their senses.
"That old man is so strange. His grandson was nearly frozen to death, yet he said it was nothing. A strange old man, muttering to himself and spouting nonsense," Gui Mo mumbled.
"Girl, go change your clothes quickly. What if you fall ill?" Shangguan Qing called out softly. Only then did he notice Shangguan You trembling and quickly embraced her ice-cold body.
"Mm, I’m fine, Brother Qing," Shangguan You said, looking at the piece of paper with an address in her hand. What did this old man mean? Could it be that he knew she would be here today and was waiting for her? And his grandson—had he foreseen the child’s peril? Was she the one fated to save his grandson, which was why today’s events had transpired? He also said Zhuge Feng faced a bloody disaster. True or false, she wouldn’t allow anything to happen to Zhuge Feng. Zhuge Feng was hers.
Shangguan You’s gaze swept lightly over the lake. The whirlpool had significantly diminished, and only a third of the lake’s water remained, clearly revealing the large drain at the bottom. The guests, who had initially been somewhat skeptical, now shook their heads and began to leave one after another.
What they had thought was useful information, perhaps even something they could sell for a good price, turned out to be nothing.
Shangguan You exchanged a glance with Zhuge Feng before taking the clothes he handed her. She then reappeared in the private room, where all the dishes had already been served.
"Sister, are you all right? You scared me to death just now! I really didn’t expect you to be such a good swimmer. If Grandfather knew you saved someone today, he would definitely be happy for you. You’ve brought honor to our Shangguan Family today!" Shangguan Rou said, affectionately taking Shangguan You’s hand and looking at her with concern. Shangguan You appeared quite normal. When she heard Shangguan You had jumped into the water, Rou had hoped her sister would never resurface. Unfortunately, Shangguan You had survived and emerged alive. Her wish had once again been dashed.
To think she risked her life just to save an old man and a child! If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have gone into that frigid water. There was no benefit to it. I wouldn’t be as foolish as Shangguan You, who only does stupid things.
