Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Surname Doesn’t Match the Name_1
Qin Sisi took the paper bearing the information, which was Wang Zhihui’s full name, followed by specific birth data. With this information, it should be easy for Lan Di to find the person.
Next, Qin Sisi noticed the woman with braided hair’s handwriting. The characters were beautifully shaped and graceful, and she couldn’t help but compliment, "This writing is truly beautiful."
Upon hearing the praise, the woman with braided hair seemed to cheer up slightly, and modestly replied, "You flatter me, I just wrote it casually."
Qin Sisi looked up and smiled at her, asking, "I haven’t asked your name yet?"
The woman with braided hair paused before replying, "My name is Ma Yuxiang."
"Ma Yuxiang? Nice to meet you. My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Sisi." Qin Sisi politely introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you," Ma Yuxiang replied gently, then cautiously asked, "Do you find my name a bit strange?"
Qin Sisi was taken aback, she silently repeated Ma Yuxiang’s name a few times in her mind, not feeling anything amiss.
She shook her head and replied, "I don’t find it strange at all!"
Ma Yuxiang spoke with a bitter smile, "I feel that my surname doesn’t match my name. My name sounds nice, but my surname is too unpleasant. Having an animal as a surname destroys the poetic charm of my name, making it somewhat ludicrous."
As she said these words, Ma Yuxiang’s emotions seemed conflicted. On one hand, she was reluctant to admit that her surname was unpleasant. After all, it was given by her parents, and disliking it felt somewhat disrespectful.
On the other hand, she probably really felt that her surname was unpleasant subconsciously, but she couldn’t change it, so she repressed these feelings deep within her heart.
After hearing Ma Yuxiang’s words, Qin Sisi silently repeated her name, with and without the surname, a few times in her mind.
Yuxiang, Ma Yuxiang; Yuxiang, Ma Yuxiang...
If one were to be nitpicky, there seemed to be some truth to Ma’s feelings, but in Qin Sisi’s eyes, this was completely trivial and not worth worrying about.
Referring to Ma Yuxiang’s previous obsession with braids, Qin Sisi asked, "Did Wang Zhihui say all these things to you?"
Ma Yuxiang asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Qin Sisi sighed quietly in her heart. Ma Yuxiang had completely devoted her heart to Wang Zhihui, treating his every word as gospel.
In consideration of Ma Yuxiang’s infatuation with Wang Zhihui, Qin Sisi dared not directly criticize him, and could only comfort Ma, "Don’t think too much. There are many surnames derived from animals, such as Ma, Niu, Hou, Gou, Yu, Xiong, Long, Hu, and so on. It’s just a form of address. The difference between a good-sounding and bad-sounding surname is negligible. I think your name sounds nice."
But Ma Yuxiang didn’t want to believe it, shaking her head and saying, "You don’t need to comfort me. I know myself well enough. I’m not good-looking, which is why I chose to practice after becoming a ghost and turned my front and back into shadows because..."
"Because Wang Zhihui said that he liked your silhouette the most," Qin Sisi interrupted Ma Yuxiang, finishing her sentence.
Ma Yuxiang was quiet for a moment before nodding and saying, "That’s right, I’m not pretty, but my silhouette can enhance my appearance, and my face can only depreciate it."
Qin Sisi frowned slightly, knowing without asking that these words must have also come from Wang Zhihui.
She felt she couldn’t continue the conversation with Ma Yuxiang anymore. Everything that came out of her mouth were words of Wang Zhihui, without any thoughts of her own.
So, Qin Sisi looked at Ma Yuxiang and said, "Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll put you away first. Once we find Wang Zhihui, I’ll arrange for you two to meet."
"Okay." Ma Yuxiang nodded.
Ye You raised his claws toward the direction of Ma Yuxiang and gently scooped her up into his Portable Space.
Seeing there was still some time, Qin Sisi and Ye You decided to call Lan Di over now.
Qin Sisi took out a pack of yellow paper from the cabinet, handed it to Ye You to infuse a trace of Spiritual Power, and then took it to the northwest corner of the room to ignite it with Fire Magic.
The red and yellow flames quickly turned the thin yellow paper into ashes, and as the ashes lightly fluttered, a gust of ghostly wind suddenly blew in, gathering all the ashes together.
The next second, the floating ashes completely vanished, and a blue figure appeared in the room, looking radiant and carefree.
"Hey, Sisi." Lan Di greeted Qin Sisi with a perfect brilliant smile.
Qin Sisi also responded with a smile, "How have you been with Pei Pei lately?"
Having become familiar with each other over time, they felt more like friends, and Qin Sisi suddenly felt awkward to dive right into business.
Lan Di raised an eyebrow, smiling as he responded, "We’re doing absolutely amazing!"
"That’s good." Qin Sisi really liked Lan Di’s current state. Although it was due to the Love Potion, it definitely made him more likable compared to his previous playboy image.
In a very straightforward manner, Lan Di, walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Qin Sisi, said, "Tell me, what do you need?"
Qin Sisi handed Lan Di the note written by Ma Yuxiang and said, "Help me find this person."
Lan Di glanced at the note and also praised, "The handwriting is really good."
After seeing the instructions clearly, Lan Di nodded and said, "No problem, I’ll get back to you by tomorrow at the latest."
With a specific name and birth data, it should be relatively easy to find.
"Okay." Qin Sisi had full confidence in Lan Di’s efficiency.
In the end, Lan Di said to Qin Sisi and Ye You, "Did Qi Jiaming come looking for you?"
Qin Sisi shook her head, "No."
Lan Di said, "I heard that he applied for resignation from King Yama and is handling the transition of tasks."
Qin Sisi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that after he finishes handling the underworld’s affairs, will he come to find us?"
Lan Di nodded and replied, "That’s what I believe. After all, he mentioned earlier that he needs your help."
"Do you know what it is?" Qin Sisi felt that Qi Jiaming was somewhat vague, difficult to see clearly.
Lan Di shook his head and replied, "I only have a general acquaintance with him, I’m not clear about his personal details. Besides, although he appears very polite to everyone, he never speaks much."
Qin Sisi recalled the two times she had met Qi Jiaming. Indeed, he was always so affable, and even when he was questioning her, he always spoke in a refined and courteous manner.
But after two meetings, he had some understanding of Qin Sisi, but Qin Sisi barely knew anything about him.
"No need to worry. Since he has something to ask, the initiative lies in our hands," Ye You said slowly at the side, seemingly having everything under control.
