"You really are so thoughtful; I don't even know how to thank you," Lu Huanong said with emotion on her face.

"You don't need to thank me; this is all something I should do. However, there is one thing I must criticize you for."

When Ling Zhenfei said this, he looked into Lu Huanong's eyes, intending to pretend to be angry and scold her. But who could imagine that upon seeing Lu Huanong's expression, Ling Zhenfei couldn't bear to blame her.

"Did you try divination again? Didn't you promise me you wouldn't?"

Lu Huanong smiled slightly: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Do I even need to say it? Didn't you predict that I was coming today? Isn't that revealing the secrets of heaven?"

Lu Huanong laughed, "Of course not. This event was bound to happen, no one could prevent it, and I didn't use this knowledge for anything else. How could it be considered revealing the secrets of heaven?"

So that was it, Ling Zhenfei finally understood. It seemed that divination wasn't necessarily revealing the secrets of heaven. There were certain conditions for it.

"The thing I told you last time did reveal the secrets of heaven, and I really shouldn't have said it. But do you remember what I told you? You must be very careful these days," Lu Huanong suddenly reminded him.

Ling Zhenfei was startled. Indeed, the past few days had been somewhat challenging. First, he had encountered an attack by Snake Head and others at Qiulian Mountain, and then last night in the Capital City, he faced an attack by Japanese ninjas. It was indeed not very safe.

"I'm fine these days; nothing has happened," Ling Zhenfei didn't plan to tell Lu Huanong the truth to keep her from worrying.

However, even though Ling Zhenfei said this, Lu Huanong still looked unhappy, her face full of worry, obviously still concerned about Ling Zhenfei's affairs.

"If my body allowed, I would definitely divine for you once more, but right now I can't," she said.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am a lucky man; nothing will happen to me easily."

Lu Huanong shook her head and said, "There are some things you don't understand. Every time I divine something that is about to happen in the real world, it reacts in my heart. The closer it comes to occurring, the more intense the feeling becomes."

Lu Huanong looked at Ling Zhenfei very seriously and said, "My feeling has been very strong recently, always feeling that something bad will happen. If I am not mistaken, it will involve you, so you must be fully prepared these days, and it's best not to go out."

"Is that necessary? If I am afraid to go out, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?" Ling Zhenfei certainly wasn't afraid; he thought the danger Lu Huanong sensed might just be the attack by the three Japanese ninjas last night.

But he had already thwarted the attack by those three ninjas, even killing one of them. Now that Lu Huanong was still so fearful, it seemed a bit excessive.

"Of course it's necessary. This is a calamity in your life. Although you are a man destined for good things through hardships, you are somewhat unlucky. This is definitely a major calamity in your life; you must take it seriously," Lu Huanong said with utmost seriousness, not sounding like she was joking at all.

"Okay, I understand; I will be careful."

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a noisy argument coming from the second floor of the courtyard, and Ling Zhenfei's ears caught it very clearly, so he couldn't help but look towards the direction of the second floor of the courtyard.

"What's the cause of the argument? Let's go and see."

Ling Zhenfei hadn't expected that Lu Huanong would also have heard it—yes, Wen Jing is a very quiet girl, and usually, quiet girls have very good hearing.

"Otherwise, you wait here for me; I'll go and check."

Ling Zhenfei did not want Lu Huanong to roam around recklessly.

"We should go together, I am the manager here and I obviously need to check on things."

While speaking, Lu Huanong was the first to head towards the second-floor courtyard, and Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to follow behind, fearing something might happen to Lu Huanong.

They soon reached the entrance of the second-floor courtyard and could see from there what was happening inside.

At that moment, a group of people in the second-floor courtyard had surrounded a girl and were arguing about something. The people who were originally there to view the art exhibition were all drawn to the scene, perhaps not wanting to cause trouble, so they watched from a distance.

Ling Zhenfei, who had a sharp sense of hearing, quickly understood the situation based on the soft discussions of the surrounding crowd.

It turned out that these men had come to see the art exhibition, but during the visit, a girl who was painting accidentally knocked over some paint, staining one of the men's shoes, which had caused the argument.

"Young lady, you tell us, how will you compensate us? Do you know how much these shoes cost?" The man involved was a twenty-something young guy with dyed red hair, who had a very arrogant expression.

Several young men followed behind him, their hair dyed in various colors. They were also wearing quite bizarre clothes, donning short-sleeved shirts even in the cooling autumn weather, revealing arms covered in colorful tattoos.

Looking at their appearance, they were clearly a group of thugs, not at all looking like people who would appreciate paintings. It was hard to guess what they were really there for.

The girl in question was around twenty years old, fairly delicate-looking with glasses on her face, appearing very demure, clearly a college student still in school.

She had never experienced such a scenario before and now trembled all over, her face deathly pale.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't see any of you behind me, I'll scrub your shoes clean for you," the girl said, somewhat terrified.

"Haha, did you hear that? She's offering to clean my shoes. You think you can actually get my shoes clean?" Red Hair shouted furiously at the girl.

"Young lady, you might as well just pay up. These shoes of our boss are custom-made and definitely beyond your cleaning skills," one of the youths chimed in.

"Exactly, you dirtied our boss's shoes; do you think just washing them will do?" another added.

Red Hair's followers encircled the girl, mocking her with cold humor.

"I'm really sorry, then how much money should I compensate?" the girl asked timidly.

"What price are you talking about? These shoes cost over twenty thousand yuan. I won't make it too hard for you; just pay me ten thousand yuan," Red Hair said with disdain.

"What, ten thousand yuan? I really don't have that much money," the girl was clearly terrified upon hearing the price of the shoes.

"What, no money? That's not our problem. If you don't pay up, we can't settle this matter," Red Hair grabbed her collar all of a sudden.

"I really don't have any money," the girl was indeed terrified.

"No money? Then pay with your body. Hang out with us tonight, one thousand yuan per time, how's that? Not a bad deal," a thug suggested, grinning.

Upon hearing this, Red Hair laughed: "Right, five of us in total, one night is five thousand. Stay with us for two nights, and you'll have made enough."
