Nangong Xue pressed her hands against her chest, trying to suppress the palpitations in her heart. "How can it be resolved?" she asked. The fortune-teller did not answer directly. He looked at Nangong Xue and silently pinched his fingers. He muttered, "Who would have thought that she was born in filial piety, but now she has the scar of a bereaved family. The root of the mountain is pierced by the scar, knowing that husband and wife are in a life and death situation. The traitor raises his spear and dies, if not for the separation of life and death … "
Nangong Xue anxiously asked, "Sir?" The fortune-teller said, "May I ask if Miss lost her parents when she was young and has been through many hardships for many years? Do you think that you were born at the wrong time, that your fate is not good? "
Nangong Xue softly said, "That's right, my parents died early, and it was my master who raised me. Someone once said that my fate is evil. Perhaps those who are close to me did not have a good ending … "The fortune-teller said," You have been through several calamities, each time your life was in danger. But at the critical juncture of life and death, there was always a benefactor who helped you, turning your misfortune into a blessing? "Nangong Xue thought silently and replied," That's right. "
The fortune-teller said, "In my opinion, Miss will encounter a great calamity in the next few days. Someone close to you will leave you. You will also be involved in this calamity, and your life will be in danger again. If you can survive this calamity, you will be able to live the rest of your life in peace and happiness until you grow old. "
The more accurate the fortune-teller's words were, the more the ominous feeling in Nangong Xue's heart grew. She asked, "Who is leaving me? Is there a way to resolve this? "The fortune-teller smiled mysteriously and said," The mysteries of heaven must not be revealed, must not be revealed, must not be revealed. "
Nangong Xue was extremely worried. She felt that the calamity the fortune-teller spoke of was referring to the duel between the two of them the next day. She tried her best to comfort herself. Perhaps it was not Li Yijie who was going to die, or perhaps this' leaving you 'was referring to the separation of life and not death. For a moment, she no longer cared about her own life and death, and whether she could survive this calamity or not. He hurriedly pulled Li Yijie over and said, "Then, Old Mister, please examine him again."
The fortune teller stretched out a bony hand and pushed the pot towards Li Yijie. Li Yijie waved his hand and coldly said, "No need. To be able to memorize a few half-understood sentences on a bamboo stick and then use it to scare people, it can't be considered a skill. I don't need to go through so much trouble. A truly capable person should know many kinds of fortune-telling methods. Just read my physiognomy. "
The fortune teller glanced at him, and in just a moment, his face suddenly revealed a ferocious expression. He was so shocked that he staggered back and said, "This young master's glabella is dark, and there is a murderous aura between his eyebrows. Within the next few days, there will definitely be a bloody calamity, and their lives will be in danger! " Although Li Yijie didn't believe it, hearing this kind of talk before a battle always made his heart uncomfortable. He said unhappily, "Jianghu magician, don't talk nonsense. Aren't you just asking for a bit more money before you're willing to help us avoid this calamity? "
Nangong Xue's heart was flustered for no reason. She hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My martial brother was in a hurry and spoke without thinking. He didn't mean to offend you, Old Mister, please don't take it to heart. You can ask for as much money as you want, but please give us some pointers. To tell you the truth, there will be a great calamity in the near future. Tomorrow, he will have to deal with a strong enemy, and it's hard to say whether he'll live or die. I just want to ask, how can we resolve this calamity? "
The fortune teller hurriedly tidied up his stall, and didn't even dare to look at him. He only said, "There's no way to resolve this calamity! I've been a fortune teller for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such a calamity! He has a martial arts competition tomorrow? If it's up to me, I definitely can't go! If he has no other choice, then … then … ay! "He didn't want to say anything more.
Nangong Xue still didn't let go of his sleeve. She begged pitifully, "Old Immortal, you have to help us! Or else what? " The fortune teller stomped his foot and said, "Or else, you family members should prepare for his funeral as soon as possible!" Nangong Xue was startled, and her entire body froze on the spot. The fortune teller took this opportunity to pull his sleeve away, and hurriedly ran away with his stall. It was as if he couldn't wait to avoid the two of them, and was afraid that this calamity would spread to him.
Nangong Xue's original intention of asking for a fortune teller was to seek some consolation, but now it only added to her worries, and she became even more worried. Li Yijie put his arm around her shoulder, and tried his best to sound relaxed. He said, "Xueer, cheer up. I've already said that these Jianghu fortune tellers can't be trusted. He must have a big appetite, and thinks that we're giving him too little money. I guarantee that if we put a plate of gold ingots in front of him, he'll say that he's never seen such a lucky star in all his years of fortune-telling. What's the point of worrying over their words? "
When Nangong Xue raised her head again, her eyes were already hazy with tears. She said, "But … but I feel that this old man's words aren't empty words. Maybe … maybe he really is an expert with some ability. "
Li Yijie said, "Most fortune tellers usually use these ambiguous Jianghu words. If they get it right, then they're lucky. Even if they don't, they can push it back to the future. Nine out of ten fortune tellers in the world are scammers. How can we be so lucky to meet a living immortal? Besides, if we're lucky enough to meet a fortune like this, then it can only mean that our luck is amazing. What's the point of talking about evil spirits? "
Nangong Xue said with conviction, "But if he only wanted to scam us, then he could have taken the opportunity to make a fortune. Why would he deliberately say things like 'this calamity is unsolvable'? It can't be that he was bribed by the Seven Demons to say some nonsense to scare us, right? "
Li Yijie was also feeling annoyed. Seeing that she was only talking about how she was certain that he was going to face a disaster, he was naturally unhappy. He said, "Fine, since you believe that he's accurate, then you should believe that I'll die tomorrow."
After walking for a while, he saw a large group of people around the corner. He walked closer and asked around. It turned out to be a small stall selling bamboo rings. The stall was filled with a dazzling array of treasures, most of which were very valuable. After paying once, you would receive ten bamboo rings. Then, you would throw the rings outside the white line in front of the stall. If the rings hit, then the treasure would belong to the customer. But most people who tried it lost nine out of ten times. Not many people were able to actually hit the rings.
Li Yijie had an idea. He said, "Come, Xueer, let's try it." Originally, he had no interest in these kinds of small things. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make Nangong Xue happy, even if the entire capital came to watch, what would it have to do with him? Nangong Xue wiped her tears and replied, "Fine." At this time, the two of them had the same idea. They both wanted to do their best to eliminate each other's worries.
After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally their turn. Nangong Xue looked around and said, "Which one should we try?" Li Yijie pondered for a moment. He saw a white jade statue. It was exquisite and cute. It was carved with two little dolls tightly hugging each other. One of them reached out a hand to the left and the other to the right, holding a heart-shaped jade crystal in the middle. Almost immediately, he chose the statue. He pointed and said, "Let's try that one."
The stall owner hurriedly said, "Aiyo, Young Master really has good taste! Seeing how intimate the two of you are, you must be husband and wife, right? There's an allusion to this statue. Whoever manages to catch it will be able to be together with his sweetheart for a hundred years, never to be separated. "
Nangong Xue suddenly had an idea. She calculated, "If I can form a bond with him for a hundred years, then naturally his lifespan will be extended." After making up her mind, she took the bamboo ring that Li Yijie handed to her. She looked at the two little dolls who were being intimate. If she could grow old with Li Yijie, what more could she ask for? She gathered her strength and suddenly threw the bamboo ring.
With a "cha" sound, the originally weak bamboo ring turned into a sharp weapon in her hand. This throw just happened to cut off the boy's head from his neck. The remaining force didn't diminish, but it also smashed the jade crystal in their hands. It fell to the ground with a crash, just like Nangong Xue's heart that was on the verge of breaking. Could this be another sign from the heavens?
When the stall owner saw this, he slapped his thigh and sighed. He said, "There's an allusion to this doll. Whatever happens to it, its corresponding owner will also have the same fate. I'm afraid this little brother is about to face a bloody disaster. If it's serious, his life won't be guaranteed … I've been running this stall for more than twenty years, but I've never seen this kind of sign! I'm afraid this is a very bad omen! " The crowd also began to discuss this. In the midst of the clamor, Nangong Xue's heart sank, sinking into an ice cave.

An hour later, two slender figures stood side by side on the city wall. The setting sun shone down on them, adding a layer of afterglow to their bodies. But this bit of golden light couldn't erase the two's melancholy. The woman sighed. She leaned against the wall and looked into the distance. The man gently hugged her from behind and gently stroked her long hair.
Nangong Xue softly said, "Look, what a beautiful sunset." Li Yijie nodded and said, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful. It's just that dusk is approaching." These were the words that suddenly flashed through his mind, but he didn't know why he said these words. This scene seemed to be an ominous sign.
Nangong Xue sighed and said, "But how much longer can we enjoy this kind of sunset? I wonder if we'll still have this kind of fresh air and this kind of beautiful sunset in the other world? I always feel that the sunset is the last gift left by the heavens to the earth. But no matter how beautiful it is, it will disappear in the end. And we can't even hold onto it when it's still in our hands. "
Li Yijie said, "Why? Are you still worried about the bracelet thing and what that old swindler said? Didn't I already explain to you? That fortune teller is a swindler. It's that simple. As for the bracelet thing, it's a game for the common people. Your internal energy has improved, but because you were distracted just now, you couldn't control it properly. That's why … that kind of phenomenon happened. Let's think about it another way. We didn't fall into the trap. That doll doesn't belong to us, so we can't predict its owner's fate. Am I right? "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "No, maybe all of this is a sign that we're not destined to have a good ending." She gently rubbed her temples with one hand. She seemed to have a headache.
Li Yijie said, "Xueer, don't be so superstitious, okay? There are all kinds of strange phenomena in this world. According to what you said, aren't they all omens? It's just that to those who are worried, they're only worries. We've gone through so many storms and waves. From now on, we'll be together forever. As long as you're willing, I'll accompany you to watch the sunset every day. "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said sadly, "Martial Brother, don't comfort me. Who said that lovers in this world will definitely be together? Tell me honestly, how confident are you in winning tomorrow's battle? "
Li Yijie was about to answer when Nangong Xue said again, "Don't tell me that even if there's only a ten percent chance, I'll still do my best. I don't want to listen to these empty words. I just want a real answer from you. Tell me, please don't hide it from me. Don't bear it alone. "
