Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 256 - 229: Departure for Nanxie

Her strange reaction immediately caught the attention of Mu Yunchu and Ye Zhixia.

After all, ever since they became ghosts, they had basically lost the instinct to shed tears.

Even when faced with sad events, they might not cry.

Not only them, but even Li Shang hadn’t realized any of this.

Still, she felt her cheeks were wet, and when she instinctively touched them, she found she was crying.

"Sister Li Shang, what’s wrong with you?"

Even though Ye Zhixia was a newly turned ghost, she knew this wasn’t simple.

"I..." Facing his question, Li Shang hesitated, unsure how to answer.

They didn’t know what was happening.

She herself didn’t know it either!

"I don’t know."

"I just suddenly felt that this smelled so much like something a relative made when I was alive."

She was still holding the small pastry, not even the size of a palm.

It was half a piece of pea cake.

Li Shang furrowed her brows tightly, as some memories in her mind surged repeatedly. She no longer had the mood to continue eating the pastry. She returned to her room alone.

Watching her back, Mu Yunchu’s gaze deepened significantly.

Ye Zhixia understood the feeling of missing a loved one. In the evening, seeing that she didn’t come out for dinner, he proactively brought the meal to her room door.

However, two hours later, when he went to check, he found that Li Shang hadn’t even touched her favorite dishes.

Although a ghost will not die from not eating, her state was truly concerning.

Because since he came to this house, Li Shang hadn’t behaved this way before.

After asking Mu Yunchu, who advised letting Li Shang have some time alone, Ye Zhixia decided not to disturb her further.

After all, if Mu Yunchu said there’s nothing to worry about, then there probably isn’t.

...

Early the next morning, Ye Zhixia deliberately circled around Li Shang’s room, hoping to run into her leaving.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t see Li Shang but saw Mu Yunchu instead.

She looked like she had just returned from the shop out front.

"You have a client this early?"

"Mm." Mu Yunchu nodded. "I have to take a trip."

Ye Zhixia nodded.

There had been such situations before.

Usually, clients came to Mu Yunchu to solve some strange phenomena occurring to them, and since it was quite complicated, only a face-to-face encounter would work.

But this had little to do with him.

Anyway, he just needed to stay behind and manage the shop.

However, this time Mu Yunchu called him over.

"Pack your things, and come with me."

Ye Zhixia: ???

Instinctively, he wanted to point towards Li Shang’s room, but seeing it tightly closed, he silently closed his mouth, understanding something.

"What about the shop...?"

With Li Shang in this state, leaving the shop unattended would be unsettling.

"We’ll close for a couple of days."

Ye Zhixia responded sullenly.

He merely felt that, based on Mu Yunchu’s words, did this mean Li Shang would be down for several more days?

Still, the thought of being able to leave excited him.

He didn’t even have to worry about needing identification to board a plane, as Mu Yunchu had Wei Xianzhong handle it in advance.

Mu Yunchu watched as he promptly accepted, feeling somewhat indebted to him. Though Wei Xianzhong never intended to have her repay, she quietly noted it down, intending to return the favor someday when an opportunity arose.

After packing up, backpack in hand, Ye Zhixia met their client for this trip.

He was a man in his early twenties, dressed in a jacket, appearing impatient while standing at the door, chain-smoking. His face was tense, similar to most who came to Mu Yunchu for help.

Seeing Mu Yunchu come out, Li Sheng sighed in relief, then tossed the cigarette butt to the ground and stepped forward.

"Master, it’s truly wonderful that you’re willing to help."

"Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do."

"Rest assured, besides the agreed remuneration, all expenses for this trip will be covered by me."

...

Li Sheng, in a city a thousand miles away from his home, specifically arranged for a private vehicle to take Mu Yunchu to the airport.

Even the tickets he bought after Mu Yunchu agreed to help were for first-class.

He didn’t know what had happened to him; he quietly followed Mu Yunchu, trying his best to be a... silent servant, carrying their luggage.

...

Originally, no one else should have known about Mu Yunchu’s trip to Nanxie City.

But there certainly were many idle people in this world.

First, the new fans who came to her shop to find Mu Yunchu were astonished to discover that it was unexpectedly closed.

Having traveled all that way in vain, they felt quite regretful and were unsure if they got the place wrong, or just missed Mu Yunchu during her store hours. So they posted about it in the online fan group.

This stirred a storm in the once-calm group.

[What’s going on? Has the workaholic anchor actually closed shop?]

[Even though the anchor often livestreams inconsistently, I’ve never heard of her closing her shop. What happened today, did the sun rise from the west?]

[No, no, my sixth sense tells me that something big is definitely up.]

[Don’t tell me the anchor has run away...]

[???]

Maybe afraid of this statement becoming true, the netizens frantically searched the internet for hints.

Yet they found nothing.

It just so happened that, on their platform’s fan group, no matter how much they messaged Mu Yunchu, there wasn’t even a hint of a reply.

It wasn’t until someone noticed some details.

[What on earth has happened? Where has my beloved anchor gone?]

[Wait, look at what I’ve found?]

When saying this, she included a screenshot.

In the image was Mu Yunchu’s current IP address.

This was a new rule updated by the platform according to national requirements, mandatory for every account.

Whether or not you set it, it would reflect everyone’s current city.

Mu Yunchu used to be in Qinghe City, so her account always displayed Qinghe below it.

But now, it had changed to Nanxie.

[What’s this about, did the anchor go to Nanxie City?]

...

Jiang Ci unwittingly fell asleep in bed.

When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by a group of concerned people.

After gathering his thoughts and stepping out of an inexpressible emotional tide, he faced the producer and his senior colleagues with whom he was about to film a program.

But he couldn’t understand why they were watching him like this.

Without giving Jiang Ci much of a chance to speak, the chief director of the shoot unintentionally sighed in relief.

"Great, you’re awake. Let’s resume recording immediately."
