Rong Lan didn't dodge and accepted the salute. "Miss Song, let me take a wild guess. Were you the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family in that world, right?" She had wanted to say this guess as soon as Song Wanyue entered the door and smiled at her. Song Wanyue's temperament was exactly like that of the well - bred young ladies she had seen in her world, especially the kind of gentle, sensible, and dignified eldest sister.
Si Mo glanced at the confident little fox and really wanted to tell her that she was wrong.
Song Wanyue shook her head with a smile.
Seeing Song Wanyue shake her head, Rong Lan was stunned. The pen in her hand slipped and fell onto the table with a thud. "I guessed wrong?" It shouldn't be. Song Wanyue gave her the impression of a young lady from a wealthy family, raised in seclusion and well - read.
"The master guessed wrong. I won't tell the master the answer for now. I hope that the master can figure it out the next time we meet."
Rong Lan: "..."
After Song Wanyue left, Rong Lan picked up the pen and poked Si Mo's elbow with the pen cap. "You know what the girl's identity was after she time - traveled, right?"
"Why don't you try to guess again?" He did know, but he was curious to see if the little fox could really figure it out.
Rong Lan frowned, propping her chin on her hands. "She should be the young lady of a noble family. I saw her causal line..." She must be either rich or noble.
Three minutes later, the excited little fox slapped the table and looked at Si Mo excitedly. "Wait! Is she from the royal family? A royal princess?!"
"Smart." Si Mo shook his folding fan and added what he had seen for the little fox. "And she is the youngest princess of the royal family. If you can confirm that she came from your world and that the timelines of this world and yours are parallel, you might know who she time - traveled into."
"I'm 99% sure that she time - traveled to my world." Because the causal line was so familiar. "And I'm also 99% sure that the timelines of the two worlds are parallel. But..."
Rong Lan showed an embarrassed but polite smile. "But I'm not very familiar with the composition of the royal family." She was a fox spirit who liked to stay in the deep mountains and forests and didn't like to go to places where ordinary people lived. So she didn't pay attention to the changes of dynasties and didn't know who was in the royal family in her world. She had never even seen a royal little princess.
Si Mo: "..." I remember you once said that your dream was to be a queen who would bring disaster to the country. If you don't know anything about the royal family or any of its members, how are you going to be a queen?"
Rong Lan nervously fidgeted with her fingers. "I was still young. I planned to go to the imperial city to check the situation after I survived the thunder tribulation. If there was a good - looking emperor or crown prince, I would go for it. But I ended up in this world before I even finished the thunder tribulation."
Si Mo was speechless. He thought that the little fox, who had once aspired to be a queen, would be very concerned about the situation of the royal family. He never expected that she knew nothing.
"It's a pity that I really don't know. Otherwise, I could analyze whether the people she met were good for her." Rong Lan sighed, stretched, and then lay down on the table. "Do you know how to send her back?"
"I do." Si Mo said calmly. "If I didn't know, how could I go back home? But it was right for you to promise her at least half a year. My cultivation hasn't fully recovered yet, and you can't tear open the time - space rift at this stage. With a half - year buffer period, not only will my cultivation recover, but you should also learn how to tear open the time - space rift to go home."
"Yeah, I wonder how much money she'll transfer to me." Rong Lan stared at the phone screen, waiting for the consultation fee Song Wanyue had promised.
Song Wanyue didn't keep Rong Lan waiting long. Only forty minutes later, Rong Lan saw a new payment record.
"Wow!" Rong Lan's eyes sparkled with excitement. "She's really generous." She had only chatted with Song Wanyue for an hour, but Song Wanyue had actually transferred two million yuan as a consultation fee. She felt like she was on cloud nine. She was also a high - level fortune - teller who was worth two million yuan an hour.
Si Mo glanced at the little fox's phone screen. "Two million. She must be so afraid that you'll go back on your word."
Although Song Wanyue was rich and had a large inheritance left by her parents, two million yuan was not a small amount for her.
Rong Lan held the phone and giggled looking at the payment record. "With this money, as long as I don't splurge too much before the Chinese New Year, I should be able to have a good year without worrying about money." Moreover, she could arrange the seafood feast she had promised the ghost Bai Rong Lan.
Si Mo nodded in agreement. "That's true."
"By the way." Rong Lan sat up. "Since there are no customers now, how about..."
Si Mo immediately saw through the little fox's thoughts. "You want to leave early?"
"Don't use such a serious word as 'leave early'. I want to meet someone." Rong Lan smiled with her eyes bent. "I just returned to this body, and there are so many things to deal with."
Si Mo snorted softly, closed his folding fan, and tapped the table. "Considering that you've earned two million yuan for the fortune - telling studio today, go ahead."
"Then I won't be polite." Rong Lan happily propped herself up on the sandalwood table, jumped up, stuffed the phone into her pocket, and happily skipped work and left the fortune - telling studio.
She wanted to meet Ms. Han Xiaoshuang.
The first time she saw Han Xiaoshuang, she was just a fox and couldn't speak. Now that she could talk, she had a lot of questions to ask Han Xiaoshuang.
Rong Lan took a taxi at the crossroads and headed straight for the police station. In the taxi, she quickly booked a private room in a restaurant. She planned to find the ghost Bai Rong Lan after meeting Han Xiaoshuang and tell her which day the seafood feast was booked for.
However, plans always change.
Before Rong Lan could meet Han Xiaoshuang, she saw Chu Chuan at the police station entrance, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, covering his face tightly.
She got out of the taxi and secretly hid behind a green tree. She wanted to see what Chu Chuan was doing at the police station entrance and if he was here to see Han Xiaoshuang. But then she saw two uniformed policemen walk up to Chu Chuan and escort him into the police station.
Rong Lan was shocked and murmured to herself, "Did I see wrong?" Why was Chu Chuan being escorted into the police station? What did he do this time? Or did her dear sister Ran Ran find a way to set him up?
She couldn't figure it out, so she finally sent a message to her sister Ran Ran to ask about the situation.
After waiting for two minutes, Rong Lan didn't get a reply. She didn't waste any more time waiting and walked into the police station.
After registering her personal information with the auxiliary police, Rong Lan sat in the lobby and waited for a while before someone led her to meet Han Xiaoshuang.
She thought she would see Chu Chuan in the lobby, but Chu Chuan must have done something bad and was escorted somewhere else. She didn't even catch a glimpse of him.
