Chapter 1554 He Wasn't a Clown

ld lose face in front of these beauties. Jiang Dabei felt that this would be more cathartic than slapping Ye Fan's face directly.To prove one's existence, there's no need to drag Zhang An into this. W...Duan Ning never would have imagined that the person standing beside her at this moment was actually Chen Yu'er.

Regardless of how much she disliked the person who brought such a catastrophe to the Duan family, she had to admit that the other party saved her life at the crucial moment.

Thank you.

Duan Ning let out a long sigh, opened her mouth to say a word of thanks, and turned to leave.

But Chen Yuer had finally found someone who could talk to her, so she wouldn't let Duan Ning leave easily.

Only Xiangning will die.

Chen Yuer looked at Duan Ning's back and shouted out this sentence. It was just a soft cry, but it made the lost and bewildered Duan Ning tremble all over.

"What are you saying What do you know!"

Duan Ning turned around and rushed back, reaching out to grab Chen Yuer's shoulders.

That eager posture, as if wanting to empty Chen Yuer's mind and see everything she knew.

Chen Yuer smiled and gently took Duan Ning's hand away.

As the disciple of Grandmaster Kongkong, Chen Yuer, who specializes in all-night Xuanmen divination, could naturally see through the fortunes of Duan Xiangning and Duan Lingxing.

Initially, she harbored resentment born from love and aimed to lure Duan Shuchang back into her grasp by leaking fabricated military intelligence.

She never could have imagined how things would unfold.

And among them, the key figure who enabled her to survive until now is Duan Xiangning.

When Duan Xiangning stepped forward to take the blame for Duan Shuhuang, Chen Yuer even believed that Duan Xiangning was certain to die.

But, Duan is different.

Dan Xiangning will die, but Dan Lingxing will not.

The reason for this lies in the occasional inconsistencies of the face's physiognomy.

To put it simply, Duan Lingxing is a particularly fortunate person.

Where does fortune come from

Li Nanfang!

Chen Yuer had long seen that Li Nanfang possessed a black dragon. Though she couldn't say for sure what the black dragon was, it was undoubtedly some kind of supernatural or demonic entity.

Li Nanfang may be a deity incarnate, or perhaps a descendant of a deity who has slumbered for a thousand years, hailing from the dark world. He can be called the heir to the throne of the underworld, if you will.

The women around the emperor, of course, was the empress.

Chen Yuer looked through Li Nanfang's true form, but she knew his fate would not change.

And she herself, unknowingly dealt a blow to the emperor's eloquence, and by imperial grace, received the title of empress.

Extrapolating from this, I connect the dots with fragmented glimpses of fate and that intimate exchange we shared in Emperor Duan's chambers that day.

Chen Yuer calculated that Duan Lingxing was also one of the wives of the Kwai Prince.

If one has this fate, how could they easily fade away like a scent or jade

This is the reason why Chen Yu'er said, "Only Duan Xiangning will die."

It's a pity, the reason behind it is not something I can share with outsiders.

"Duan Ning, I know what doesn't matter. You just need to know that Duan Xing won't die."

After much thought, Chen Yuer slowly spoke these words.

But Duan Ning had already been rendered distraught by the separation of life and death, how could he be swayed by Chen Yuer's single word

"Why do you say that Give me a reason, please."

Duan Ning reached out again, grabbing Chen Yu'er's shoulders. His voice was now bordering on hysterical.

Only Duan Xiangning will die.

Duan Xing won't die.

These two sentences together are simply beyond the comprehension of any normal person.

In Duan Ning's view, the two sisters, Duan Xiangning and Duan Lingxing, going to the Peninsula together was a matter of fact. Fu Bo, under the order of the old master, had to eliminate them to ensure peace for the Duan family.

Why does life present two completely different outcomes: birth and death

Is there anything variable in the middle

No, no matter what variable, the outcome shouldn't be different.

Unless—Chen Yuer had already received some information.

"Chen Yuer, are you still in contact with people from the Peninsula Or have you also interfered in the planning of something"

Du Ning's mind raced, going through every possible reason she could think of, and blurted out the one that seemed closest to reality.

Chen Yu'er could only helplessly roll her eyes.

"Duan Ning, I'm at the Duan family residence, under 24-hour surveillance. How could I possibly do these things under their noses You're being ridiculous."

Then you should say it! What makes you so sure about the lives and deaths of Ningxiang and the others

Duan Ning could only feel that she was being driven crazy by Chen Yuer.

If it weren't for the Duan family looking after her, they would have kept her alive to avenge themselves against the Chen family and satisfy their thirst for revenge.

Du Ning didn't mind, letting Chen Yuer enjoy what it felt like to be "desperate for survival, unable to die."

By then, let's see if this woman will still be talking and panting like that.

As for Chen Yuer, she had finally found someone who could talk to her. She hadn't fully enjoyed the pleasure of communicating with others yet.

Looking back on these past few days, the treatment I received at the Duan family's was simply beyond human.

Though, she could eat well, drink well, and sleep soundly all day with no psychological burden. Even within the Duan family's sphere of influence, she possessed a freedom that many others couldn't fathom.

But, she was bored.

Besides the two female bodyguards sent by the Duan family to provide her with 24-hour close protection, she was unable to have any contact with anyone else.

Many people would avoid her even from a distance of ten meters, let alone say hello.

And those two bodyguards, who had scolded each other countless times and been scolded countless times by her, still acted as deaf ears and dumb mouths.

Humans are social creatures and need interaction to survive.

Chen Yuer has lost count of how many days she has gone without normal communication with others.

At this rate, she'll be driven mad sooner or later.

She had even thought that the Duan family was torturing and punishing her mentally in this way.

Finally, I got hold of Duan Ning and found the topic that she cared about most.

Chen Yuer only wanted to savor this hard-won feeling of having a conversation.

"Duan Ning, don't ask any more, some things are meant to be kept secret."

Heaven and Earth bear witness.

Chen Yuer said this, on one hand enjoying the pleasure of interacting with people, on the other hand, she was truly trying to comfort Duan Ning.

To prevent Duan Ning from falling into a trance like before, losing herself and tumbling off a cliff without realizing it.

But Duan Ning didn't want to accept Chen Yuer's kindness, which felt like "kicking with three legs couldn't get a fart out."

If I kill Chen Yuer, then I can get the information I want.

At this moment, Duan Ning didn't mind at all. She hugged Chen Yuer, walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.

“I don’t care about any heavenly secrets. All I want to know is why Duan Xiangning died and why Duan Lingxing didn't!”

Duan Ning let out a loud shout, startling the birds around him into flight.

Chen Yuer's lips curled into a smile as she watched the flock of birds gradually disappear into the sky. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing!"

Yes, Duan Ning could ignore everything about the Heavenly Secrets, but Chen Yuer doesn't have that luxury.

To be more precise, even Chen Yuer herself didn't know what "Tianji" actually was.

She could see the black dragon hidden on Li Nánfāng's body, but if she continued to explore its origins, she would fall into a state of confusion.

I remember the first time I saw Li Nanshan, I thought he was just ordinary. But when I looked at him again, his fate took a drastic turn.

That feeling was completely different from when I saw Emperor Duan.

Duang Shuhuang was a once-in-a-century hero who caught Chen Yuer's eye at first sight, making her infatuated.

And Li Nanshan, like a god or a demon, just because he glanced at him once, Chen Yuer thoroughly fell into infatuation.

That was the feeling of an ancient commoner seeing the emperor, unable to help but bow and prostrate themselves, willingly submitting to their every whim.

Had it not been for the heartfelt tremor of fear, Chen Yuer would not have rushed forward at that moment to cling tightly to Li Nanfang, begging for his rescue.

Imagine the situation at that time, leaking top-secret plot details was a grave crime. Who besides a divine being could have saved her

Chen Yuer chose right, or perhaps it was fate that led her to this point. That's why she's still alive today.

Duan Xing also has the same fate, there is no reason why he shouldn't survive.

Unfortunately, Chen Yu'er wouldn't, nor dared she tell Duan Ning these words.

"Du Ning, to you, does the reason really matter"

Chen Yuer stared into Duan Ning's eyes and asked this question.

Duan Ning was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.

Yes, the reason doesn't really matter.

She had long accepted the fact that Duan Xiangning and Duan Xing for the benefit of the Duan family would kill those from afar.

Just as she had long since accepted her status and fate within the Duan family.

"Well, I see."

Duan Ning let out a long sigh, and then returned to that hauntingly dejected look. She turned around and walked away.

Chen Yuer was dumbfounded.

She told Duan Ning so much because she wanted someone to talk to.

How did things end up back where they started

"Duan Ning, don't leave. Duan Lingxing truly won't die, you still have to have hope and faith in life."

Chen Yuer hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Duan Ning walked forward without looking back.

Even if we manage to survive, it wouldn't change the fact that for the sake of the entire Duan family's interests, they are willing to sacrifice us.

"Yes, the past facts won't change but the future destiny can be altered. Don't you want to see Duan Xing live and come back, don't you want to see your own fate change along with it"

Chen Yuer's tone became increasingly urgent, she even wished she could chase after Duan Ning and hold her tightly, giving her a good lecture.

As Duan Ning walked further and further away, she could no longer remain calm. She shouted loudly, "Duan Ning, I spent the whole night performing divination rituals in the Xuanmen tradition, and I saw through Duan Lingxing's fate. That's how I knew she wouldn't die. Don't you want to know what your own fate is"

As soon as these words were uttered, Duan Ning's forward steps finally came to a halt.

"Can you tell fortunes by looking at people's faces"

Duan Ning turned his head and looked Chen Yuer from top to bottom.

She didn't disbelieve in Xianxuan metaphysics, she just didn't dare believe that Chen Yuer, a young woman, had such abilities.

Noticing Duan Ning's intentions, Chen Yuer's face once again broke into a smile.

"You don't believe me, do you Well, let's make a bet."

"What are you betting on"

If Duan Zixing comes back alive, even if you lose, then you'll have to speak to me.

Chen Yuer used a bet to tie Duan Ning to her side, hoping to relieve her boredom.

Duan Ning only felt that this bet was simply too childish.

Just as Duan Ning was about to retort sarcastically, a wave of noise erupted from the foot of the mountain. Looking afar, she saw Yue Qingke had already arrived.

Yue Qingke, as the second uncle of the Duan family, walked into the Duan family accompanied by Duan Chuhang.

Seeing this scene from afar, Duan Ning suddenly had a brilliant idea and turned her head to look at Chen Yuer beside her.

"You claim to be able to read faces, then tell me, what kind of fortune does Yue Qingke have"

Hearing Duan Ning's question, Chen Yuer casually glanced at Yue Qingke who was walking towards the Duan family gate.

"Hmph, that boy is nothing but a small-time clown."

Chen Yuer's sneered, her words dripping with contempt and disdain.

But as soon as she finished speaking, when she looked back at Yue Qingke, her face changed dramatically. All disdain was replaced by shock.

Chen Yuer couldn't speak.

After that second glance, she never dared to look at Yue Qingke again. A kind of indescribable pain arose above her eyes.

Because the one she saw, Yue Qingke, was just like Li Nanfang when she first met him.

He was completely shrouded in a mass of black mist, leaving absolutely nothing visible.

Like your aunt who is a fan of handsome guys, please collect it: () Your aunt who is a fan of handsome guys updates the fastest.f reward do you have in mind" Si Kong Yanran chuckled lightly, teasing Xiao Fan with surprise and delight.Just as Si Kong Yanran had finished speaking, she saw Ye Fan approaching. To her astonishment...
