She rolled over and patted her chest, "Phew~ That was close, really close. Can't joke about this!" Just now, He Qingchen's expression seemed as if he would immediately fly over and 'deal with' her if she continued.
In the afternoon, the third round of evaluation was about destiny and appearance, and there were many more participants in this round compared to the previous two.
Metaphysical Masters don't calculate destiny for each other like they do for ordinary people. Instead, they use their own cultivation to try to conceal as much of their own destiny as possible.
In simple terms, it's about who can see through the other first.
Tang Xingyou had already informed Jian Xi of this rule beforehand. Jian Xi thought it was a practice ground for her Celestial Eye; she was actually worried there wouldn't be enough people for her to practice with.
Many tables were brought into the venue, each table with two chairs facing each other. The observers for these four groups were still Guo Yulin.
Jian Xi smiled and nodded at him in greeting, then took her seat, starting the evaluation.
Her opponent was a woman in her thirties named Lin Rong, with a good temperament and a beautiful appearance. She carefully observed Jian Xi's face. In this evaluation of destiny and appearance, most people would choose appearance, as it was quicker and easier, and since everyone was a Metaphysical Master, it was inconvenient to reveal their birth details.
This worked out perfectly, as Jian Xi herself didn't know her birth details, having been picked up by He Qingchen. No one knew exactly when she was born.
Jian Xi held her breath, focusing and closing her eyes.
This action directly confused Lin Rong on the opposite side. How could she read facial features with her eyes closed? Did she just give up?
Guo Yulin's attention had also been focused here, equally puzzled by Jian Xi's closed eyes.
Little did they know, it wasn't just the two of them puzzled; even the judges and spectators were all a bit puzzled.
But it was only Ye Ze who suddenly widened his eyes, quickly stood up, and walked towards the edge of the venue.
Didn't Jian Xi already give the Five Emperors' coin to He Qingchen? She didn't see her take it out, so how did she open her Celestial Eye?
Moreover, it was just a small evaluation, yet she could see through the opponent at a glance. Spending mental energy to open the Celestial Eye seemed like a joke!
When he reached her, Jian Xi also opened her eyes, a few tiny beads of sweat on her nose, but her complexion was still fine. Ye Ze's worried heart finally settled.
Jian Xi stood up and walked to Lin Rong's side, whispering a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Lin Rong looked at her in surprise, then blushed and said, "I concede."
After speaking, Lin Rong stood up and retreated to the spectator area.
Ye Ze, glancing at Jian Xi, confirmed that she didn't have the Five Emperors' coin in her hand, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Well done, Little Seven. Master was right; you were truly born for Metaphysical Arts. I've only been off the mountain for a few years, and you can open the Celestial Eye without any tools!"
Jian Xi thought to herself, can I say I didn't take years, just less than half a month?
She chuckled and didn't dampen Ye Ze's spirits, "I'm fine, hurry back to your judge's seat."
Ye Ze nodded and turned back to the judges' seat on the stage.
Their conversation was so quiet that no one knew what had happened, only that Ye Ze had been very nervous just now about Jian Xi.
After sitting down, Ye Ze refused to discuss Jian Xi's ability to open the Celestial Eye with the other judges on the panel.
In today's metaphysical world, who could open the Celestial Eye? Even his master couldn't. He understood the principle that a tall tree catches the wind, so even though any one of them could protect Jian Xi, as long as she didn't want to reveal it, he wouldn't spread it from his mouth.
But looking at the captains and vice-captains in the viewing area casting their eyes on his junior sister, even if they didn't know about the ability to open the Celestial Eye, they would probably scramble to snatch her away from B City!
Ha, they were still far from it. Tomorrow should be the climax of this competition. His junior sister, this piece of gold, would probably be in high demand tomorrow!
This afternoon, Jian Xi was really tired. After receiving the award, she didn't even eat and went straight back to her room. But fortunately, the results of today's practice were very good. She could now open the Celestial Eye freely, although not for a long time, but she was already satisfied.
Ye Ze told her to have a good rest and not to participate in tomorrow's divination competition, first to let her rest, second to leave a first prize for other bureaus!
Jian Xi had just reached the door of the presidential suite and was about to open it when she suddenly felt something and turned her head.
He Qingchen was lazily leaning against the wall on the other side of the corridor with his hands crossed, his eyes deep as he stared at her.
"Brother, you're here. Didn't you have a bid this afternoon?" Jian Xi exclaimed in surprise.
He Qingchen straightened up, teasingly saying, "Xi Xi is looking for someone better, so shouldn't I hurry over to take a look?"
Oh no, he was here to settle the score!
Jian Xi pouted, walked up to him, hooked her finger around his, then tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek, coquettishly saying, "I was just kidding! Besides, where else in the world can I find such a good boyfriend like you?"
When it was time to act coy, Jian Xi didn't hesitate at all.
He Qingchen hadn't seen her for two days and was anxious, so he leaned in and kissed her on the lips without any restraint, pressing on step by step, capturing the city.
In no time, Jian Xi completely softened, leaning against the wall.
The icy touch brought her back to her senses instantly, realizing that they were still in the corridor. She quickly patted He Qingchen's chest, "Um... um... there might be... people around!"
He Qingchen's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple rolling several times, he impatiently clicked his tongue, reluctantly leaving her sweetness.
He nodded towards the direction of the room door, "Open the door, grab your things, and come with me to the top floor."
There was a room specifically for He Qingchen here. Xu Yan had asked Jian Xi about it before, but Jian Xi found it boring and wanted to live with Tang Xingyou, so she didn't go to the top floor.
Now that He Qingchen was here, she naturally wanted to live with him.
Putting everything in the room into her bracelet, Jian Xi sent a message to Tang Xingyou, informing her that He Qingchen had arrived and they wouldn't be staying together tonight. Then she followed He Qingchen upstairs.
At the staircase, He Qingchen pressed a fingerprint recognizer on the elevator, and the elevator, which was originally at the top floor, started moving upward.
Exiting the elevator, He Qingchen pressed Jian Xi against the nearby marble wall. "There won't be anyone here. It's time to settle the score," he said.
Jian Xi widened her eyes, about to argue that the matter was already in the past. But He Qingchen didn't give her a chance to speak!
