Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills

Chapter 6: Chapter 6: I Will Take Action

The air was silent for quite a while.

Yu Qinghan apologized with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said any of this. I was too talkative, and I made a fool of myself in front of you."

Having just met, her behavior might indeed seem strange to others.

"It's okay, it's my fault for asking," Zhao Huai replied.

After listening to Yu Qinghan's story, Zhao Huai couldn't help showing some sympathy in his eyes.

Now he knew where the strangeness about this woman came from.

Having killed people before, no wonder her gaze was as sharp as a knife, and her mentality had long been different from ordinary people's.

But he was not one to comfort her because, since she was able to talk about it, it meant she had already come to terms with it.

And all he could do was to listen quietly, without expecting anything more.

Everyone had enough trouble in their lives; why bother worrying about others' as well?

"Young master, aren't you afraid of me?" Yu Qinghan asked, surprised by Zhao Huai's demeanor.

Her story, though half true and half false, still shared a similar overall trajectory. Yet upon hearing it, the man seemed not afraid at all. Wouldn't normal people be frightened when they learn someone had killed?

"Not afraid," Zhao Huai shook his head.

"Miss Yu's open-mindedness surpasses others," he added.

Yu Qinghan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she smiled, "Your words are indeed unexpected, young master."

"It seems you, too, have a story young master," she remarked.

But Zhao Huai seemed not to hear and remained silent.

In all fairness, Yu Qinghan had a good personality and was easy to talk to. If he could disregard her background as a general's daughter, marrying such a beautiful woman would be a blessing.

If the outcome with the copper coin had been good, perhaps he would have considered spending more time with her.

Having thought it through, Zhao Huai took a deep breath and made his decision, calmly saying, "Miss Yu, I think we should not..."

Suddenly.

A loud "bang" came from outside the house, interrupting everything.

"Military officer, we really can't go in!"

"We haven't had any business today!"

"The whole city must be searched, and your matchmaking agency is no exception!"

Immediately after, the two exchanged glances.

Zhao Huai quickly realized that the search party had arrived.

For a moment, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"Don't worry, I'll take action," Yu Qinghan reassured him, seeing his expression.

The source of the noise was from the corridor outside the house.

The small courtyard gate had been blown open, and the young servant, looking terrified, squatted by the door, staring at the entrance. Now, the peach-tree-lined corridor, which once symbolized love, was filled with uninvited guests.

Rows of soldiers wearing fish scale armor and stainless-steel long broadswords came in at a trot, their armors emitting crisp "rustle" sounds.

They divided into two lines, and there seemed to be more than ten of them.

In the lead was a man in a green martial robe, with a fierce expression, dark skin, and a sturdy build.

Clearly, he was the commander of these soldiers.

Standing opposite him was the matchmaker who had just served Zhao Huai.

At this moment, the matchmaker wore a distressed expression, pleading earnestly, "Sir, our matchmaking agency is a government-managed institution. How could we harbor any criminals?"

The commander coldly responded, "We have a search warrant, and we're following orders. How dare you block my men? You must have a death wish!"

"If you delay our mission, even ten heads won't be enough for you!"

"Guards!"

The next second, the commander gave a cold order.

"Search! Make sure to find the person King Qin is looking for!"

Receiving the order, the soldiers dispersed and headed toward the main gate.

For a moment, the entire courtyard was in chaos.

There hadn't been many people at the matchmaking agency today, and now they were all being driven out.

Everyone, like little chicks, was carried out, their faces filled with anxiety and fear.People who don't know might think this is a brothel.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came, and a soldier flew out of the room, hitting the wall hard. The cracks on the wall were like a spider web, shattering in all directions.

A figure in white clothes with plum embroidery slowly walked out.

At the same time, an elegant young master was behind the woman.

"Such strong power."

Zhao Huai looked at the scene in front of him, his expression extremely astonished. Then, his gaze fixed on Yu Qinghan's body.

At first, he thought that the strength mentioned by this lady was at most the peak of the outer sect's martial arts practice, reaching only the first stage of refining qi.

Unexpectedly, he had underestimated it.

With this palm strike, it was at least at the level of the third stage of the refining qi and possibly even higher.

"Strange, didn't the Hexagram predict [Fortune]? How did it still happen?"

Zhao Huai saw the commander and others coming, wondering if there was a problem with the result of the copper coin, or if he had done something to change the outcome.

He could take a shot and settle everyone in a single breath.

However, this would undoubtedly expose his whereabouts and attract the attention of the Xia Dynasty government once again.

As the commander at the front saw Yu Qinghan's move, his face looked ugly, but there was also a trace of shock in his eyes.

The True Qi fluctuations remaining in the air were much more terrifying than his initial entry into the first stage of refining qi.

Where on earth did this person come from!

"Are you the one sent by the top?"

Yu Qinghan's voice was very cold, and she asked with narrowed eyes.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, her momentum domineering and sharp-edged. It seemed as if she had changed into a completely different person, contrasting sharply with her gentleness in the room just now.

Although the commander was afraid, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we are here on orders to capture the rebel. Who are you?"

Hearing this, Yu Qinghan sneered, "Just a mere Centurion, without any knowledge or background, don't get involved in this dirty water. You might be used as a pawn without even realizing it."

After speaking, Yu Qinghan threw out a jade token.

The commander took the token, glanced at it, and his hands trembled. His eyes widened in shock as he pointed at Yu Qinghan and said:

"You are!"

In the commander's heart,

The level of this token was too high!

He had only heard that in the army, as long as it was seen, it was an absolute iron order.

"Get lost now!"

Yu Qinghan scolded sharply, interrupting the other party.

"I apologize for my rudeness!"

The leading commander respectfully saluted Yu Qinghan, with no dissatisfaction on his face.

He then led the soldiers behind him to leave quickly.

Zhao Huai was also surprised by this scene.

It seemed that the force behind Yu Qinghan was quite significant. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to scare off the searching soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Huai understood why the result of the copper coin divination was "Fortune."

With Yu Qinghan's background, he could get through this round of search safely.

Did the people just now come from her family?

Or perhaps they were the subordinates of someone she knew.

Actually, the result of the copper coin was not wrong; he had just jumped to conclusions too early.

"Miss, your background is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhao Huai stood behind Yu Qinghan, pretending to be amazed.

"It's all just some troublesome matters. I've embarrassed myself in front of you, young master."

Yu Qinghan withdrew her aura and gave Zhao Huai a slight smile.

"This is..."

The matchmaker on the side was shocked by what had just happened.

Compared to Zhao Huai, she was even more confused.

"Thanks to your introduction of Miss Yu, otherwise this time, it would have been more bad luck than good." Zhao Huai smiled as he said this.

"It was Miss Yu?"

"Miss Yu? I remember that I found a girl with the surname Liu for the young master."

The matchmaker was a bit puzzled.
