I'm a male god in Liyue

Of course, the most important thing is that Mr. Xia is there.

Ye Lan thought of Ning Guang again.

Tianquan's identity is indeed more useful than his own identity as a special intelligence officer.

At least, they can manage their own time to date.

Tian Shu, huh...?

After finishing her morning tasks, Xia Zhi came out of the kitchen.

Ye Lan sat alone at a table in the corner, playing with a die in her hand, occasionally tossing it up and catching it.

"Mr. Xia."

"Miss Yelan."

Xia Zhi sat down.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

"It's alright, Mr. Xia, thank you for cooking for everyone. My task is finished, and I'm on vacation these few days anyway, so I can wait as long as I want."

"Haha, so what brings you here?"

"It's about divination."

"Fortune telling."

"Didn't Mr. Xia cast a divination for me before? He said I would return before the Lantern Festival. Since Mr. Xia's divination was so accurate, I would like to ask you to cast another divination for me."

"What do you want to count?"

"My fortune this year..."

Ye Lan paused slightly.

"And marriage...is that possible?"

Xia Zhi nodded and smiled, "Of course, it's nothing."

He took out a few Mora and threw them on the table.

Mora was laid flat and formed.

Xia Zhi maintained his persona, reaching out his hands to touch the divination symbols and carefully interpreting them.

Ye Lan watched quietly until he withdrew his hand before asking a question.

"How is it, Mr. Xia?"

"It's an omen of 'after the worst comes the best,' but... look at these two Mora coins, their positions are slightly off."

"so?"

"This means you will have another 'negative' event this year, which is very close in terms of the timing of the omen, and the direction of the omen is in the northwest... This trip seems to indicate that you will return to the Abyss of the Rocks."

Ye Lan paused, a hint of amazement in her eyes.

“Mr. Xia is right. I do indeed plan to go to the Layered Rock Abyss again for investigation. During this investigation, I obtained some clues underground, which are related to one of my ancestors from the Night Clan and an unnamed Yaksha. However, due to the mission I have, I did not have time to conduct an in-depth investigation and could only return to Liyue City to report to Seven Stars. Therefore, I originally planned to go to the Layered Rock Abyss again in a few days.”

"Now you should know that the Laminariat is related to the Abyss, and it is very dangerous for you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I will be careful."

Ye Lan said with a light laugh.

"Besides, the divination first indicated that things would turn around after reaching their worst point, which also foreshadows that I will be alright, right?"

"You..."

Xia Zhi shook his head.

"A divination is just a divination; the future is not immutable. Some things possess the strange ability to distort fate, and the abyss is a similar existence."

"..."

"This is a serious matter; please consider it carefully."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Xia."

"Let's continue with the divination. If you really went to the Abyss of Layered Rocks and returned safely, then your fortune will turn into a meteoric rise."

"A meteoric rise to power?"

"This is a local expression from my hometown. It means that someone can easily rise to a high official position. In other words, you should be promoted after you come back."

"A promotion..."

Ye Lan was startled again.

"This divination is quite strange. You are already Miss Ningguang's top intelligence officer, and there doesn't seem to be a suitable position for you to advance further."

Xia Zhi muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan suddenly chuckled softly.

"I'm also very curious about this. Mr. Xia, why don't you calculate it for me again?"

"Alright."

Xia Zhi picked up a few Mora from the table and threw them back onto the table.

Mora was laid flat and formed.

Ye Lan watched him decipher the divination symbols and asked softly.

"Mr. Xia, how was the divination result this time?"

"It is a hexagram of the Big Dipper, but the position of this Mora is too prominent, pointing directly to the Tian Shu star."

"Tianshu?"

"Yes, Miss Yelan, you will be the next Tian Shu Star."

"Mr. Xia, your calculations are really accurate."

"right."

"Lady Ningguang has actually spoken to me twice already. The current Tian Shu is too old and has been poisoned, so his energy and physical strength are not very good. She hopes that I will become the next Tian Shu."

"This is a good thing."

"Indeed... But the reason I chose to become a special intelligence officer in the first place was because I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of walking on the edge of danger. To be honest, Mr. Xia, I used to actually enjoy deliberately getting injured..."

"I already knew that."

"Ok?"

“When Miss Ningguang first brought you to see me, I noticed that although you had many old injuries, none of them were serious. Moreover, when I massaged your injuries, I didn’t hear any pain in your voice; instead, you seemed to be faintly excited…”

"..."

Ye Lan's face flushed slightly.

She glanced at Xia Zhi; thankfully, Mr. Xia couldn't see her.

"Miss Yelan, there's no need to feel embarrassed. This isn't really an illness."

"Um……"

Ye Lan lowered her head and changed the subject.

"Mr. Xia, let's talk about the divination for marriage."

"The same applies to marriage; it is reflected in the hexagram of 'when things reach their worst, they begin to improve.'"

"Oh?"

"In other words, you will meet someone you like this year."

"is it?"

A strange glint flashed in Ye Lan's eyes.

She had originally wanted to ask Mr. Xia if he could help her figure out who that person was, but then she thought better of it and swallowed her words.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xia."

"Oh, it was nothing, you don't need to be so polite."

Xia Zhi picked up Mora from the table.

"As I said before, fate is unpredictable. The results I observe at this moment are only a glimpse of the future and cannot fully represent it. Please do not take the divination results too seriously and just do what you feel is right."

Ye Lan nodded, looked at him, and smiled, "I know."

For some reason, Xia Zhi felt that Ye Lan's gaze towards him had changed.

This situation reminded him of the last time he told Ningguang's fortune, when the way Ningguang looked at him seemed to have changed in the same way.

The two chatted for a while longer and drank a cup of tea.

Ye Lan stood up to take her leave: "I have been away from the city for a long time, and I am sure I have accumulated a lot of intelligence during this time. Now that I have recovered, I should go back and deal with it as soon as possible."
