Wuyan's gaze was heavy, staring intently at the chessboard, unable to speak for a while.

Dugu Tianke knows fortune-telling and divination, but he's no swindler. Wuyan knows him well, and if this is true, then…

"How about it, Wuyan girl, shall we play another game of chess?" Dugu Tianke is an old fox. Even though Wuyan is mature beyond her years, she's still an eighteen-year-old girl in the end; her emotions are almost transparent in Dugu Tianke's eyes, unable to hide anything.

"Senior, can this be true," Wuyan said with a grave tone, as if clinging to a shred of hope.

"I won't lie to you; something big is about to happen in Yanjing." Dugu Tianke placed the chess pieces back on the board, but found Wuyan standing there stunned, motionless.

"Senior, can you be more specific?" Wuyan couldn't hold back after all; she cared for Ye Shikai, especially when it came to matters of life and safety.

"Haha, the Heavenly Secret cannot be revealed, Wuyan girl. The fact that I've told you this much already puts me under a lot of pressure." Dugu Tianke showed a troubled look. Wuyan was left speechless; from an age perspective, she is a young woman and wouldn't believe everything Dugu Tianke says, yet the claim that the Heavenly Secret cannot be revealed was too much to swallow. However, Dugu Tianke's divination was indeed accurate, and he was truly a master who kept a low profile. As for why he wouldn't give specific details, perhaps he had his own thoughts and concerns.

"Alright, then tell me when the disaster will happen; surely that can be told," Wuyan continued to press.

"Just in the coming days."

"Tch, saying that is like saying nothing at all." Wuyan pushed the chessboard aside, stood up, and left the living room, her face full of anxiety.

"Hey, Wuyan girl, aren't you going to play chess?"

"No more. You play with yourself." By the time Dugu Tianke looked back, Wuyan had already disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, this stubborn girl has really placed her feelings on that boy." Dugu Tianke chuckled suddenly, "What is love in this world, to make life and death worth pledging."

"Master, the Sect Leader instructed that if the reception was inadequate, please forgive us. Here's lunch for you to enjoy." At this time, two disciples of the Worm Sect brought several dishes, handing the food to him.

"No worries, I'm just here to get a meal; as long as there's good wine and food, I'm satisfied." Dugu Tianke laughed heartily and began to eat heartily.

Yanjing, Camping Mountain.

After a night of revelry, accompanied by the slow extinguishing of the bonfire, the sun rose from the east. The nights in the mountain were cold, but fortunately, Ye Shikai brought warm clothing. Speaking of which, Su Ziqing, that troublesome girl, got dead drunk last night. Before leaving, Su Qingyu had just warned her not to get drunk.

"Brother-in-law, I only drank a little last night," Su Ziqing got up early and quickly acted spoiled to Ye Shikai, hoping he'd let it slide.

"No way, I must tell your sister, you little brat, how dare you get so drunk." Ye Shikai had a heart of stone, looking stern and righteous as he glanced around to ensure no one was nearby before he said softly, "If it weren't for the fact that you came camping in a group, I'd drag you back right now."

"Brother-in-law, I promise not to drink next time, okay? If you tell my sister... you'll be partly to blame too. Why didn't you keep an eye on me?"

"You... sigh, fine, just this one time." Ye Shikai was helpless. During last night's bonfire party, Su Ziqing flitted around like a butterfly, and it was really hard to keep track of her. He really was taking the blame for nothing.

"Mrs. Dongfang, I'm sorry for bothering you last night," Ye Shikai apologized to Dongfang Lian with a face full of remorse.

"It's alright, Mr. Ye. You were only thinking about safety, after all." Dongfang Lian smiled warmly.

"By the way, Mrs. Dongfang, what are we doing today?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"I've made a plan." Dongfang Lian took out a folded map from her bag, which was a detailed guide of Camping Mountain, including timelines of the camping events. She even marked it with sticky notes and highlighters.

"You've even noted temperature and humidity? Mrs. Dongfang, you really are thoughtful," Ye Shikai said with a smile. In this folded map, she had made many notes, including emergency alerts for dangers. Better to be prepared.

"That's because I'm an avid traveler. I often go on trips, so the school considered that and let me lead the team," Dongfang Lian said with a smile, handing the folded map back to Ye Shikai.

"So, we're going rock climbing this afternoon, right?"

"Exactly."

"What, Brother-in-law, Mrs. Dongfang, are we going rock climbing?" At this moment, Su Ziqing and Han Ruoya appeared out of nowhere.

"Qingqing, rock climbing can be dangerous, so I think you..."

"No way, Brother-in-law, I'm not a kid. Rock climbing is the most fun, Mrs. Dongfang, count me in," Su Ziqing, who loves excitement, immediately signed up.

"Then I'll sign up too," Han Ruoya chimed in.

"This... it's the wilderness, not the school's climbing wall. It can be dangerous."

"Mr. Ye, don't worry, there are safety measures here, and I see that Su and Han are both very enthusiastic, so let them participate," Dongfang Lian advised, and only then did Ye Shikai agree.

"Besides, with Brother-in-law here, what am I afraid of?" Su Ziqing muttered.

"Sigh, one day, you'll be the death of me," Ye Shikai felt utterly exasperated. This kind of girl is the kind that if you don't discipline for three days, she'll cause chaos at home.

The boys were very enthusiastic and all went to sign up, and many girls did too. After all, if you came to camp and explore but shrank away from a bit of danger, you might as well have stayed home.

"This time, the rock climbing will be from the mountain waist to the foot. There's a safety rope, so students must tie it properly when climbing down," Dongfang Lian led them to the mountain waist. Unlike previous rock climbing experiences, this time it's about climbing down.

"Mrs. Dongfang, won't it be dangerous? This below... it looks really deep," Ye Shikai peered below. He couldn't see the bottom, nor could he tell what it was like.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, there are security staff from the camp here," Dongfang Lian reassured again. This time, Su Ziqing was a bit impatient, thinking Ye Shikai might be afraid of heights.

"Brother-in-law, you're making a fuss about nothing. I'm going down first." Su Ziqing put on her safety helmet, eager to descend.

"Wait, Su, let me demonstrate first." Dongfang Lian approached and took the lead.

"Mrs. Dongfang, be careful," Ye Shikai started to feel a bit concerned as he watched. Dongfang Lian seemed too frail to climb; could she really rock climb?
