Rong Lan propped her chin up, her gaze on the glasses deep and sharp. "I've been thinking. Qing Zhi once threatened me that she could harm my brother. But to hurt someone from afar, she must have had a medium. I suspect these glasses were her medium. The reason she didn't succeed was that your amulet blocked it. If she had done nothing, she wouldn't have threatened me with Chu Hengyuan's safety when her own life was in danger."
Si Mo nodded in agreement. The little fox's analysis made sense, but in fact, these glasses had nothing to do with Qing Zhi.
Based on the little fox's speculation, it was almost certain that Chu Hengyuan hadn't told her anything.
That was good. It meant he could play it by ear.
He picked up the glasses and pretended to examine them carefully. "There are indeed remnants of a spell formation on these glasses. I can help you destroy them to eliminate future troubles."
Anyway, the little fox, who had completely merged with this human body, should no longer have trouble controlling her fox ears. Chu Hengyuan wouldn't need these glasses anymore. If Chu Hengyuan really wanted a pair, he could make one for him at a lower price.
It was a mistake on his part that the little fox had spotted the spell formation on the glasses. He felt embarrassed to charge Chu Hengyuan one million yuan anymore.
"Before destroying them, could you check what kind of spell formation it is? I want to know what she really wanted to do to my partner," Rong Lan said in a soft voice.
"Sure," Si Mo replied without any psychological burden. Since she couldn't figure out the exact function of the spell formation, he could just make up something.
He put down the glasses. "I can deal with the glasses in my spare time. First, let me tell you about the performance of the fortune - telling shop during your absence."
"Performance?" Rong Lan sat up straight, influenced by Si Mo's serious tone.
Did their small fortune - telling shop even have a concept of performance?
"By the way, before talking about the performance, I'll tell you something. I've met a big client," Si Mo said as he poured himself a cup of hot tea.
A big client? Rong Lan's eyes lit up slightly. She stared at Si Mo expectantly. "Did we earn a lot of money?"
Si Mo slowly shook his head. "No. This big client is a bit special. You need to receive her in person."
Rong Lan: "???"
She looked utterly confused. Startled, she picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. "A big client that I need to receive in person. Could it be an acquaintance? Chu Chuan? If it's not someone I know, there's no need for me to receive them in person. But Chu Chuan shouldn't have the money to come here and spend anymore. But if it really is Chu Chuan, it's fine. I've been wanting to find an opportunity to see how he's doing recently. If he comes to me on his own, it won't waste my time."
Si Mo still shook his head. "It's not him. It's a stranger to you."
"Then why do I need to receive her in person?" Rong Lan was extremely puzzled. After all, Si Mo was stronger than her. Most of the things she could do, he could do too. "Could it be that the big client is a girl and there are some things that are inconvenient for the opposite sex to know?"
Si Mo twitched the corner of his mouth. "It's not that complicated. The things she asked me about seem to be related to you, so I left her for you to receive. I've already told her that I'll contact her as soon as the boss is back. If you're not busy this afternoon, I'll ask her to come."
"Sure."
Rong Lan was extremely curious about what the big client that Si Mo mentioned would be like. So when Si Mo was telling her about the performance of the fortune - telling shop recently, she didn't listen carefully at all. Her mind was full of the image of the big client.
At 2:30 p.m., the big client showed up. Rong Lan took a glance at the causal lines on the big client's body and immediately understood why Si Mo had said the big client was related to her.
When Si Mo saw the visitor, he stood up to greet her. Naturally, he wouldn't neglect someone he called a big client.
Seeing Si Mo being so enthusiastic, Rong Lan also stood up and curiously sized up the young woman with an oval face, willow - leaf eyebrows, and outstanding temperament.
When Song Wanyue saw Rong Lan, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. But she didn't underestimate Rong Lan. Even though Rong Lan's appearance was different from what she had imagined the boss of the fortune - telling shop to be, she still curved her lips and smiled at Rong Lan.
"Miss Song, this is the boss I mentioned to you," Si Mo introduced Rong Lan to Song Wanyue.
Song Wanyue nodded slightly at Rong Lan and said in a gentle voice like a breeze, "Hello, Master."
Rong Lan coughed lightly and gracefully made a gesture of invitation. "Miss Song, please have a seat. I already understand your purpose." Such a special causal line was something she had never seen before. But precisely because it was special, she recognized it at a glance.
Song Wanyue was surprised but didn't rush to ask. She sat down on her own. After Rong Lan and Si Mo also sat down, she slowly said, "Master said you understand my purpose. Then could you tell me how I can achieve my wish?"
Rong Lan didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment. "Miss Song, don't you want to ask if the wish I guessed is really yours?"
Song Wanyue lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. "I trust the master's ability."
Rong Lan: "..." Oh no. This girl had put her on such a high pedestal. For the sake of her image as a master, she had to handle this carefully.
Si Mo glanced at the little fox sitting up straight and placed a teacup in front of Song Wanyue. Song Wanyue thanked Si Mo and picked up the teacup to take a sip of hot tea.
"I'm very glad that Miss Song is willing to trust me. But just to be on the safe side, I still need to confirm with Miss Song. Your wish is to go back, right? Back to that place with teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, and a magnificent palace." She could tell at a glance that this girl had experienced a wonderful journey that should be called time - travel, and it was highly likely that the world she had gone to was the world where Rong Lan had lived since childhood.
Song Wanyue stopped sipping her tea. She met Rong Lan's gaze and nodded. A glimmer of joy shone in her eyes. "That's exactly my wish, Master."
It seemed she hadn't found the wrong person this time. She hadn't revealed any information, yet the other party could tell what she wanted. This was a hundred times better than those charlatans who took the money but did nothing.
Rong Lan propped her chin up and carefully counted the causal lines on Song Wanyue's body. "Miss Song, why do you want to go back to that world? If I'm not mistaken, Miss Song is a native of this world and only lived in that world for two or three years."
In this world, information was transmitted quickly and transportation was well - developed. If it weren't for missing her parents, she might not even want to leave this world. A native of this world, who had lived in a world without mobile phones, computers, or cars for two or three years and finally returned, actually wanted to go back?
