24: Chapter 24 Divination

"So what if I hurt you on purpose? It's not like I told you to steal my things."

Lin Xiao just watched with a smile in his eyes as The Boy was taken away by the police.

This time, Lin Yu had lost a lackey and been rejected by his goddess, so he certainly wouldn't let it go.

But Lin Xiao didn't care.

Let them come; he wanted to see what other tricks Lin Yu had up his sleeve.

Having suffered such a big loss, Lin Yu's first reaction was to go home and tattle.

But he suddenly realized that the family members who used to care about him the most no longer seemed willing to stand on his side.

With no other options, he had to go directly to find Young Master Bai Feng.

Young Master Bai Feng was not the humble gentleman the rumors made him out to be; on the contrary, he was a true playboy.

As one of the few people who knew his true colors, Lin Yu didn't contact him in advance and went straight to an underground bar where Young Master Bai Feng often hung out.

Pushing open the door to the private room, he saw Young Master Bai Feng holding a scantily clad woman while happily drinking.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Lin Yu arrive suddenly, Young Master Bai Feng seemed somewhat impatient.

Lin Yu plopped down next to him, shot a disgruntled look at the woman, and said unhappily, "Brother Feng, you haven't even married my sister yet. Aren't you afraid she'll find out if you play around like this every day?"

Young Master Bai Feng said impatiently, "As long as you keep your mouth shut, she won't find out! Did you come here today just to tell me this?"

Realizing Young Master Bai Feng's resentment, Lin Yu didn't dare to put on airs and said sheepishly, "It's that Lin Xiao again. Not only did he embarrass me in public, but he also stole my woman!"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Bai Feng laughed instead. "Xiao Yu, you're just young and impulsive... It's just a woman, what kind can't you get? Why bother fighting with that bumpkin and lowering your own status?"

Lin Yu was choked up and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Xiao Yu, don't worry. Once I marry your eldest sister, there will be plenty of time to deal with him slowly!"

Young Master Bai Feng patted Lin Yu's shoulder earnestly. "I'll find a girl to keep you company in a bit. She'll definitely be a hundred times prettier than that woman!"

Lin Yu knew that everyone around Young Master Bai Feng was that type of woman from pleasure houses.

He had always found such women dirty and unpresentable, so he made up a random excuse and left.

After leaving the bar, Lin Yu felt even more stifled.

He found a few lackeys and went to a barbecue stall to drink away his sorrows.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone was tipsy.

Their speech became increasingly uninhibited.

"Brother Yu, I think that Lin Xiao is looking for death!"

"If all else fails, let's just kill him!"

"Exactly! Kill him!"

"My cousin happens to know some people who can make it look clean!"

"..."

With the people around him egging him on, Lin Yu's anger flared up fiercely.

Thinking of the grievances of these past few days, he made a decision on the spot!

"Fine, let's kill him!"

...

School had just started, and Lin Xiao didn't have much academic pressure.

His parents at home missed him dearly, so every few days, they would have Lin Baixuan pick him up for dinner.

That afternoon, Lin Xiao got into Lin Baixuan's car again.

After spending time together recently, they had more topics to talk about.

Lin Baixuan would occasionally show concern for Lin Xiao, which made him feel warm inside.

But right in this harmonious atmosphere, Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed!

He jerked his head up to look ahead.

They were just passing through an intersection where the traffic lights had been broken for some time, so vehicles were mostly moving slowly, and it wasn't very congested.

Suddenly, a car rushed out from the opposite side at an extremely high speed, heading straight for Lin Baixuan's car.

"Watch out!"

Lin Xiao didn't have time to warn her, so he reached out to grab the steering wheel.

Lin Baixuan was already frozen in shock, watching as Lin Xiao barely managed to swerve the car to the side.

Although they still scraped against it, luckily everyone was unharmed.

Furious, Lin Xiao opened the car door, intending to get out and confront the perpetrator.

But to his surprise, the car simply stepped on the gas and drove away!

Lin Xiao stood in place as the system's voice rang out in his mind.

Listening to the system, he became even angrier.

[Lin Yu, screw you! It was one thing to play little tricks, but now you actually want to kill me?]

This angry inner voice brought Lin Baixuan back to her senses from the shock.

Lin Yu did this?

How is that possible?

No matter how much of a playboy or how disobedient Lin Yu was, he wouldn't go so far as to want to kill someone!

Lin Baixuan's hands were trembling.

Whether it was because of surviving the ordeal or the shock of Lin Xiao's inner voice, she didn't know.

"I'm calling the police."

Lin Baixuan got out of the car and said proactively to Lin Xiao.

She didn't want to wrong a good person, nor did she want to let a bad person off the hook.

Calling the police was the best choice.

Lin Xiao nodded silently, standing there without saying a word for a long time.

Now, another matter was bothering him.

Regarding those petty matters from before, he had been quite happy to just eat melons and watch the drama with the help of the gossip system.

But recently, he had been encountering more and more dangerous situations, and he gradually realized that if he continued to passively eat melons like this, sooner or later, he would be killed by Lin Yu or other ill-intentioned people.

"Hey, hey, gossip system, besides eating melons, don't you have any other functions? Compared to other people's cheat codes, this is way too useless, isn't it?"

Lin Xiao asked in his mind.

[Who says there are no other functions? Every system has its own functions...]

The gossip system's voice seemed a bit lacking in confidence.

After a brief silence, it made a sound again.

[Every time you eat fifty melons, you get a chance to draw a prize!]

[The prizes are very rich! Skills like Divination or Golden Eyes, as well as various items like Good Luck Pills, Enhancement Pills, and so on!]

[Heh heh heh, isn't that amazing?]

The gossip system was very confident.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This looked like a feature the gossip system had hastily added.

But since there was an opportunity, it was better than nothing.

His melon-eating count had long exceeded fifty, so he immediately demanded the gossip system to draw a prize.

"Draw one for me now. Since there are so many good things, don't you dare try to fool me with a 'Thank You for Participating'!"

Lin Xiao blocked the gossip system's path in advance, to save it from trying to fob him off with some junk.

[Drawing started... Congratulations to the host, you have obtained "Primary Divination"!]

Divination?

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

[Host, in the future, when you can't eat melons in time, you can calculate it yourself!]

[After all, I'm just a gossip system, I can't predict everything!]

"..."

Why did Lin Xiao feel like the gossip system's voice sounded a bit manipulative and sour?

Whatever.

As the gossip system said, some things might not count as gossip, so the gossip system wouldn't proactively remind him.

Also, regarding matters of life and death, the gossip system would always gloss over them.

Now that he had Divination, he had gained an extra skill.

Just at this moment, Lin Xiao's phone rang suddenly.

Looking at the name on the screen, a smile appeared on his face.

"Qiu Xiaoyan, have you decided what you want to eat this weekend?"

However, there was only a burst of noise on the other end of the line.

After a long while, a faint voice came through.

"Lin Xiao, save me..."
