Li Mohan recognized the bird immediately. It wasn't just any bird; it was Ye Huohuo's senior disciple brother, Nie Ming.
Although his car wasn't going fast, combined with the mynah bird's diving speed, if the collision had occurred, Ye Huohuo's senior disciple brother would have been turned into a meat patty.
Even with his strong composure, Li Mohan broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly slammed on the brakes, sparks flying between the car tires and the asphalt, managing to stop just in time.
However, the large black bird seemed to have calculated it perfectly. Just as it was about to hit the car, it executed a beautiful arc, grazing the car roof before ascending into the sky.
It then leisurely drew a circle in the air before landing steadily on Li Mohan's car hood.
The cold sweat from the scare had yet to dissipate from Li Mohan's body.
This was the first time a bird had nearly given him a heart attack. Li Mohan suddenly felt that since meeting Ye Huohuo, his once stagnant life had been thrown into a turbulent sea, with each day becoming a tumultuous storm.
If he hadn't managed to stop just now and had truly turned Ye Huohuo's senior disciple brother into a meat patty, he probably would never have been able to see Ye Huohuo again. Not because he wouldn't be able to find her, but because he wouldn't be able to face her even if he did.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
Li Mohan opened the car door and walked to the front of the car. "Senior Disciple Brother, do you know where Huohuo went?"
Nie Ming tilted his head, looking at Li Mohan as if assessing his expression. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "I... I don't know. Isn't... isn't she with you? I... I thought she was in the car!"
"You don't know where she is? She severed the red thread connecting us, and I thought she would go find you or Qin Chu."
Li Mohan found it somewhat unbelievable that he could call a mynah bird "Senior Disciple Brother" but couldn't call Qin Chu "Second Senior Disciple Brother." Perhaps it was because the age difference between him and Qin Chu wasn't significant? It must be!
Upon hearing that Ye Huohuo had severed their destiny thread, Nie Ming's feathers bristled. "That dead girl! Isn't she just asking for death? Severing her destiny thread with you, given her current situation, she probably won't even survive tonight! This is terrible. If anything happens to her, how will I explain it to Master! If I had known, I should have stayed by her side. It's all over, it's all over!"
Nie Ming was so anxious he almost lost his soul, his clear eyes beginning to redden. Li Mohan had heard Ye Huohuo talk about Nie Ming's condition, and he knew he had to keep Nie Ming's consciousness clear, or he would revert to being an ordinary mynah bird. In their current situation, outdoors, if he truly turned into an ordinary mynah bird, he would definitely fly away. Finding him again would be harder than ascending to heaven.
At this moment, Li Mohan could only carefully soothe the large black bird before him. After a great deal of comforting words, he finally managed to temporarily stabilize Nie Ming's emotions.
Li Mohan felt fortunate that no one was with him. Otherwise, if others saw him, the dignified head of the Li family, coaxing a bird like he was appeasing an ancient deity, it would surely top the trending search list in no time.
"Senior Disciple Brother, do you have any way to find Ye Huohuo?" Li Mohan tentatively asked Nie Ming.
Nie Ming, having calmed down, kept muttering about not being able to face their Master. Upon hearing Li Mohan's question, he tilted his little head, thinking for a long time, and finally sighed, "It seems we have no choice but to use this method. However, it might harm your luck, causing you bad fortune once, or even putting your life at risk."
"It's alright. As long as we can find Ye Huohuo, please proceed without hesitation," Li Mohan said without the slightest hesitation.
"Alright. Although you and Huohuo have severed your destiny thread, your marital relationship in the mortal world still exists. In other words, your fate hasn't been completely cut off. I can use your life's destiny to deduce Huohuo's location. However, this method of fortune-telling requires your luck as payment. We advise people not to constantly get their fortunes told for this very reason. It's said that the more you calculate your fate, the thinner it becomes. You must be mentally prepared. Previously, you were always blessed with good fortune; even when facing difficulties or dangers, you could overcome them with ease. But after this divination, within the next twenty-four hours, you will definitely encounter danger. This danger is unpredictable; it could be illness, an attack, or even an accident. In any case, you must be extremely careful."
At this moment, Nie Ming's speech was no longer stuttering; he had become quite eloquent. Li Mohan shook his head dismissively. "It's fine, just calculate it!"
Nie Ming was not one to procrastinate. He flew to the top of Li Mohan's head and pecked at his Baihui acupoint. The peck was quite painful, causing Li Mohan to gasp, "Hiss!" Afterwards, he touched his head and realized that the peck had broken the skin on his crown. He could feel a trace of blood.
Nie Ming was on his head, and Li Mohan had no idea what Nie Ming was doing. Li Mohan only felt a headache, and then his vision turned completely white. It was as if you were walking forward with all your attention in the dark, and suddenly a bright car headlight flashed before your eyes, causing them pain and filling your vision with a blinding white, making it impossible to see anything.
Just as Li Mohan was about to ask what was happening, he realized he couldn't speak, nor could he even move a finger. However, soon, his vision was no longer a vast expanse of white, but gradually began to discern something. He was inside a room. At this moment, Li Mohan felt as if he were seeing the situation inside through someone else's eyes. Just as he was about to ask Nie Ming what was going on, he remembered that he couldn't speak and had to suppress his question.
Soon, he saw a woman. It was the woman named Fang Fang whom Ye Huohuo had met in the small restaurant. Could Ye Huohuo be with this woman now? And was he seeing what Ye Huohuo was seeing?
Li Mohan, understanding his current predicament, quickly began observing the surrounding details, trying to determine the location as soon as possible. As long as he knew where they were, he could pinpoint Ye Huohuo's location. Unfortunately, he could only see and not hear, so he had to remember as many details of the room as possible.
Li Mohan's situation lasted for about five minutes. Nie Ming flew away from his head, and the sensation simultaneously disappeared.
"How was it? Did you see her location clearly?" Nie Ming asked, his tone resembling that of a true senior disciple brother.
Li Mohan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened them, frowning. "I'm so stupid. I should have thought of it earlier. She wouldn't ignore Du Lihua's matter. She would definitely go find Chen Jiaming. Just now, I saw an ordinary house. Although I didn't see Chen Jiaming, I saw his girlfriend, that Fang Fang. Huohuo seemed to be talking to Fang Fang, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear what they were saying. However, I also saw the ghost of Du Lihua. Considering all this, Huohuo should be at Chen Jiaming's house right now. Does she intend to kill Chen Jiaming to avenge Du Lihua? No, I have to stop her. No matter what, killing is illegal. Throwing away her life for such a scumbag is not worth it!"
Saying this, Li Mohan got into the car with Nie Ming and drove towards Chen Jiaming's house.
"Ac-actually, you do-don't need to be so hur-hurried. Huohuo handles things with... with discretion. At most, she'll just summon that Chen Jiaming's soul and teach him a lesson. She won't take his life. She still has many things to do and won't want to die so easily. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get to know you and borrow your luck. All the things she's doing, marrying you, helping people with their problems to accumulate good deeds, are all to break that 'sha-blocking goldfish formation,' prolong her life, and avenge her parents."
Nie Ming stood on the passenger seat, a bird adopting a scholarly demeanor. However, Li Mohan's attention was focused on what he had just said. "What did you just say? You said that Ye Huohuo's acquaintance with me and everything she did for me was just to borrow my luck? Not..." He didn't finish the sentence.
Nie Ming: "..." A million horses raced through his mind. It seemed he had said the wrong thing!
