Chapter 296 Found Dad and Mom Second Watch(4)_1
He guided Cai Wei to his room and took out a Purple Sandalwood Six Ren Plate, twelve purple sandalwood signs, along with writing materials. These were all the things required for divination.
This Six Ren Plate seemed to have some age to it, showing a thick patina on its surface. Its face was polished and smooth like water. The upper part represented the "Sky Disk" and the bottom was the "Earth Disk", symbolizing ’Heaven is round, the Earth is square.’
Manager Li washed his hands, lit incense, and bowed before the divination plate. He spun the plate and wrote the elements of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Moon General, Shi Chen and so forth on paper for divinatory calculations.
Liuren was the principal method among the Three Styles, recognized for its accuracy. Not long after, the outcome was derived - according to the divination, Tianjizi was indeed dead beyond recall, but it was unable to reveal the whereabouts of his skull.
Upon receiving the divination confirming his death, Cai Wei felt considerably relieved. Regardless, it was good that he was dead. As for the skull, it must have been a plot he hatched before his death to deprive her of peace.
After leaving Manager Li’s room and on her way to the main entrance of Xinglong Inn, Cai Wei ran into a servant who had been sent by Huo Yuan to deliver a New Year’s Gift to her family. Seeing Cai Wei, the servant joyfully said, "Humble one was about to visit Miss Mu at the mansion. May I ask when the Miss plans on embarking on the journey to Bianzhou Prefecture? We are ready to attend to you."
Cai Wei responded apologetically, "I am sorry to disappoint your boss. There was a recent incident at home which prevents me from fulfilling this trip."
Upon hearing this, disappointment set in his countenance. He asked, "May I dare ask, humble one, about the trouble at Miss’s home? Can our Young Master be of any help?"
Cai Wei smiled, "I appreciate your concern, but we do not require any help. If necessary, I would have someone seek him."
Upon saying that, Cai Wei left.
The servant hastily returned to his room, wrote a prompt account of his encounter with Cai Wei and the incident at her house, sealed it and had a boy deliver it promptly to Bianzhou Prefecture.
That boy being clever, noticed that the young Master was concerned about Miss’s family and he had sent them grand New Year gifts under pretense. They were also asked to wait for her arrival at this inn. Seeing all this, he couldn’t afford to waste time lest he stirs trouble at his Master’s prospective father-in-law’s place, as it would endanger his own skin!
