Chapter 82
She rolled over and patted her chest, "Phew~ That was close, really close. Can't joke about this!" Just now, He Qingchen's expression seemed as if he would immediately fly over and 'deal with' her if she continued.
In the afternoon, the third round of evaluation was about destiny and appearance, and there were many more participants in this round compared to the previous two.
Metaphysical Masters don't calculate destiny for each other like they do for ordinary people. Instead, they use their own cultivation to try to conceal as much of their own destiny as possible.
In simple terms, it's about who can see through the other first.
Tang Xingyou had already informed Jian Xi of this rule beforehand. Jian Xi thought it was a practice ground for her Celestial Eye; she was actually worried there wouldn't be enough people for her to practice with.
Many tables were brought into the venue, each table with two chairs facing each other. The observers for these four groups were still Guo Yulin.
Jian Xi smiled and nodded at him in greeting, then took her seat, starting the evaluation.
Her opponent was a woman in her thirties named Lin Rong, with a good temperament and a beautiful appearance. She carefully observed Jian Xi's face. In this evaluation of destiny and appearance, most people would choose appearance, as it was quicker and easier, and since everyone was a Metaphysical Master, it was inconvenient to reveal their birth details.
This worked out perfectly, as Jian Xi herself didn't know her birth details, having been picked up by He Qingchen. No one knew exactly when she was born.
Jian Xi held her breath, focusing and closing her eyes.
This action directly confused Lin Rong on the opposite side. How could she read facial features with her eyes closed? Did she just give up?
Guo Yulin's attention had also been focused here, equally puzzled by Jian Xi's closed eyes.
Little did they know, it wasn't just the two of them puzzled; even the judges and spectators were all a bit puzzled.
But it was only Ye Ze who suddenly widened his eyes, quickly stood up, and walked towards the edge of the venue.
Didn't Jian Xi already give the Five Emperors' coin to He Qingchen? She didn't see her take it out, so how did she open her Celestial Eye?
Moreover, it was just a small evaluation, yet she could see through the opponent at a glance. Spending mental energy to open the Celestial Eye seemed like a joke!
"Brother, you're here. Didn't you have a bid this afternoon?" Jian Xi exclaimed in surprise.
He Qingchen straightened up, teasingly saying, "Xi Xi is looking for someone better, so shouldn't I hurry over to take a look?"
Oh no, he was here to settle the score!
Jian Xi pouted, walked up to him, hooked her finger around his, then tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek, coquettishly saying, "I was just kidding! Besides, where else in the world can I find such a good boyfriend like you?"
When it was time to act coy, Jian Xi didn't hesitate at all.
He Qingchen hadn't seen her for two days and was anxious, so he leaned in and kissed her on the lips without any restraint, pressing on step by step, capturing the city.
In no time, Jian Xi completely softened, leaning against the wall.
The icy touch brought her back to her senses instantly, realizing that they were still in the corridor. She quickly patted He Qingchen's chest, "Um... um... there might be... people around!"
He Qingchen's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple rolling several times, he impatiently clicked his tongue, reluctantly leaving her sweetness.
He nodded towards the direction of the room door, "Open the door, grab your things, and come with me to the top floor."
There was a room specifically for He Qingchen here. Xu Yan had asked Jian Xi about it before, but Jian Xi found it boring and wanted to live with Tang Xingyou, so she didn't go to the top floor.
Now that He Qingchen was here, she naturally wanted to live with him.
Putting everything in the room into her bracelet, Jian Xi sent a message to Tang Xingyou, informing her that He Qingchen had arrived and they wouldn't be staying together tonight. Then she followed He Qingchen upstairs.
At the staircase, He Qingchen pressed a fingerprint recognizer on the elevator, and the elevator, which was originally at the top floor, started moving upward.
Exiting the elevator, He Qingchen pressed Jian Xi against the nearby marble wall. "There won't be anyone here. It's time to settle the score," he said.
Jian Xi widened her eyes, about to argue that the matter was already in the past. But He Qingchen didn't give her a chance to speak!
