Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2585: Chapter 1221: The Unknown (V)_2

"Oh, right."

After a while, Yi Nan suddenly patted "Gu Yan Yue," who was curled up on his chest like a kitten, and asked curiously, "What were you saying just now?"

"Forgot."

"Think about it."

"Ah! I remember now!"

"Gu Yan Yue" abruptly sat up, looked at Yi Nan seriously, and asked, "Do you think Xiao Le might like Tan Jiang?"

Yi Nan blinked and shook his head, "I don’t know, I’ve never been in love."

"Gu Yan Yue" was shocked, "Are you kidding me!?"

"Yes."

Yi Nan nodded seriously, very straightforwardly admitted, "Since the day we met, I’ve been treating you as a Galgame character."

"Gu Yan Yue" immediately squinted, annoyed, and said, "What kind of Galgame lets you play until the kids are in college!"

"Ha..."

Yi Nan, usually cold and aloof, chuckled and shook his head, "This game has only one character to pursue, and she’s extremely difficult. I’m far from finishing it."

"Ah! Husband, you’re cheating!"

Blushing from the unexpected sweet talk, "Gu Yan Yue" softly punched Yi Nan several times before lying back on his chest, "So, do you think Le Le will like Tan Jiang?"

Yi Nan shrugged, "Those kids haven’t even met that many times, right?"

"You can’t say that. Back then, when you first met me, wasn’t it love at first sigh... uh, no, I was just a Galgame character."

"Gu Yan Yue" lowered her head in frustration.

Yi Nan flicked his wife’s forehead amusingly, "Keep talking."

"Ah! What I wanted to say was, back then, our son kept saying Le Le wasn’t good-looking."

"Gu Yan Yue" wrinkled her nose and then grinned, "But it was always Tan Jiang who cheered Xiao Le up. That kid is so gentle and likable!"

Yi Nan, who also had a good impression of Motan, chuckled, "So you think Xiao Le will always be fond of that kid Motan?"

"Very likely!"

"Gu Yan Yue" nodded vigorously, smiling, "And when Le Le chatted with me before, she said she had met Tan Jiang before returning home, in a game."

"In a game, huh..."

Yi Nan squinted his eyes and murmured, "Actually, I don’t really want to see Xiao Le playing The Realm of Innocence, after all, he is different from Yi Dong, Cui Xiaoyu, Kanglan, and Ji Wutong’s daughters. Xiao Le is a medium."

"An Onmyoji!"

"That’s the name your Old Ancestors came up with after going to Japan; a medium is a medium."

"An Onmyoji!"

"You can’t forget your roots, wife."

"Onmyoji is also from our country."

"Alright, then Onmyoji it is."

"Eh hey!"

"So, Xiao Le is different."

Yi Nan’s expression turned a bit serious.

"It should be fine~"

"Gu Yan Yue" waved her hand lightly, casually said, "When we were messing around here back then, our Gu Family wasn’t even aware of those things, let alone involved, there’s no causal connection at all."

Yi Dong shook his head, speaking softly, "No, there is a causal connection."

"Nani!?"

"You were the core figure in the battle back then... Xiao Le is your niece, of course there is a causal connection."

"Does that count?"

"Theoretically, it shouldn’t, but who knows with these things..."

"Hmm, it should be fine, right?"

"Hopefully."

Yi Nan sighed, then frowned, "What is the child doing in the middle of the night?"

"No idea, and she even specifically turned herself into a semi-spiritual body."

"Gu Yan Yue" yawned, laying her head on Yi Nan’s shoulder, "She probably wouldn’t be trying to eavesdrop on whether we’re making siblings for Yi Dong, would she?"

"Brake."

Yi Nan tapped "Gu Yan Yue"’s nose lightly, chuckling, "This girl probably thinks this trick can fool us."

"Yet it was precisely this that gave her away."

"Gu Yan Yue" laughed, proudly holding her chin up, "She has about sixty percent of my skill from back then."

"Why are you competing with a child?"

"I was a child back then too!"

"Yes, yes, Gugu-chan is forever eighteen..."

"Sixteen!"

"Mm, sixteen."

"Ah! Le Le is on the balcony now, could she be calling a guy?"

...

At the same time, on the balcony, Gu Xiao Le naturally didn’t intend to call any guy. She just took a deep breath, raised her hand holding a magatama, and gently shook it.

In the next instant, a faint light glimmered from the magatama, illuminating the girl’s pretty face and the railing in front of her.

This was a form of very vague fortune-telling, far less accurate and stable compared to the methods of Yi Nan’s familiars. However, when compared to the ’fortune-telling’ most ordinary people practice, like studying constellations, this technique, exclusive to the medium (including Onmyoji) line, was somewhat advanced. Additionally, Gu Xiao Le herself was quite skilled, so given the right timing and location, the results were actually quite satisfactory.

In fact, the timing that day was rather good, and as for the location... in a sense, this house was definitely in a prime spot, so Gu Xiao Le’s magatama fortune-telling went quite smoothly indeed.

A moment later, the light from the magatama faded, and an inwardly concentrating Gu Xiao Le subtly exhaled, her eyes flashing with a hint of gravity, "As expected... what Origami said is problematic, not a lie... but rather... hmm, should I say it’s inconsistent with reality... It’s so intriguing..."

She mumbled to herself while pacing back and forth on the balcony, seemingly in contemplation.

Finally, after a few more minutes, Gu Xiao Le made up her mind, took out a bulging little cloth bag, and extracted a large number of ancient coins. Though they looked quite similar at first glance, each had small differences.

From our God’s Eye View, we could see that these ancient coins were identical to the ones she asked Origami to randomly choose in the Realm of Innocence!

Both in number and in detail!

"Let me think, she should have chosen this one, this one, and this one back then."

Gu Xiao Le swiftly picked out three identical coins from the pouch, then crouched down to line them up neatly, placing her small hand over them.

...

On the other side, out of curiosity, the whole time observing were the Yinan couple, casually chatting while cuddled together.

"What do those coins mean?"

"Gu Yan Yue" frowned, observing her niece’s every move through her shikigami [Moon Desecration], and curiously asked, "This seems like another fortune-telling method, but the accuracy should be lower than the Eight Qiong Magatama, right?"

Yi Nan nodded slightly, casually saying, "If we eliminate some possibilities, she most likely wants to foresee something that the magatama can’t directly answer, like..."

"Like what?"

"Matters from another world."

...

At the same time, Gu Xiao Le finished her preparations for a ’cross-border divination using identical ritual items.’ With concentrated eyes, she placed her hands over the three ancient coins ’chosen by [Origami] in the Realm of Innocence,’ and activated the secret art.

Since she would only gain three keywords even in the best outcome, Gu Xiao Le’s question was straightforward—

"What exactly did Origami see?"

...

Just then, in the second-floor bedroom, the expressions of the Yinan couple abruptly changed. "Gu Yan Yue," who had been nestled in her husband’s arms a second ago, quickly jumped off the bed, grabbed a bamboo stick labeled [Great Luck] from the bedside cabinet, snapped it in half, and hurriedly said, "Husband, move fast! I can change luck for only three seconds!"

"Alright, I’ve already overwritten the divination result with something else!"

Then, Yi Dong, face darkening to the most severe point, gave a firm response, gritting his teeth, "Keep an eye on Xiao Le. I need to call Boss Du..."

...

On the balcony

Moving away her hands, Gu Xiao Le, puzzled, stared at the three ancient coins quietly lying on the ground, unconsciously interpreting—

"Fragrant... chicken wings... rice...?"
