Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 273 The seats arranged personally by the lady

Du Anrao observed the changes in their expressions and knew that they had all taken her words to heart, so she breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.

"After all, it is a matter of the future. My abilities are limited, and there is not much I can calculate. You all need to verify the specifics."

Du Anrao's words were not entirely an excuse; the reason she was able to list so many people's information was entirely thanks to the mental library.

Just as she just said, many people first enter the world of infinite flow because they are seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Those who are pulled into the instance for the first time are considered newbies. After that, they have experience and no longer need to be seriously injured or on the verge of death to enter again, thus becoming veterans.

Most people entering a dungeon for the first time are still confused about the situation and will instinctively seek out and rely on experienced players.

Little did they know that the other world was not like the present world, and the saying "when fellow countrymen meet, their eyes fill with tears" did not apply to this place at all.

Experienced veterans will use the guise of taking care of newcomers to extract information about them in the real world. Some of these actions are indeed well-intentioned, but many are actually for the purpose of facilitating their later actions or using them as bait to advance through the game.

The main characters had suffered such a loss at the beginning, and after gaining experience, they became extremely cautious about it, even turning the tables and sending several groups of veterans to their deaths, while also tricking many newcomers into sacrificing themselves for them.

What Du Anrao is giving us now is the real-life information about the newcomers that was extracted from those scripts.

It's worth mentioning that the basic information of the six main characters is the most complete and detailed among all the characters in this story.

Because they had already revealed their true identities in the instance so that they could continue to cooperate in the real world.

Afterwards, these people did indeed get together after returning to the real world, and they did a lot of mischief together, which saved Du Anrao a lot of trouble in collecting information about them.

The group was unaware of the intricacies of the situation. Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, their eyelids twitched, and they secretly thought to themselves: You don't know much, do you? You've almost exposed all their secrets!
Mr. Xu frowned slightly, wanting to ask Du Anrao and the others if they had interfered in this matter.

For example, if we find out the nurse's identity and send someone to protect her, could we change her predetermined fate and allow her to survive?

For example, if they could stop the small business owner before he jumped off the building, could they prevent him from entering that world?
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say them.

Ultimately, although they had been somewhat swayed by her previous words, they still couldn't help but have a big question mark in their hearts about this so-called other world.

As Mr. Xu just said, they need more evidence to prove the veracity of Du Anrao's statement.

Before this, any further talk from Du Anrao would have been empty words.

The conversation between the group took quite a while, and the guests who had come to attend the wedding banquet were still waiting. Fortunately, the housekeeper, Du Miao, was quite reliable and led the Du family back to the front yard to greet the guests.

When the other guests discovered that the groom had run away, they assumed that he couldn't bear to leave the bride alone in her room and had gone to keep her company.

A few people discovered that not only the groom, but also several bigwigs who came to the wedding banquet were nowhere to be found, suggesting that something must have happened that they were unaware of.

But those who can guess these things are intelligent people, and naturally they won't make it public.

When Du Desheng and the others returned to the wedding banquet, it was already past the halfway point. Even so, their appearance still drew countless glances and greetings from the crowd. Du Anrao was worried about this, so instead of walking with Du Desheng and the others, he took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Du Desheng and quietly slipped along the wall to the table where the Du family was sitting.

"An'an, you're back." When Du's mother and the others saw Du Anrao's eyes light up, they quickly invited her to sit down next to them.

"Yes, I came back after we finished talking." Seeing that there was still one seat left at the table, Du Anrao didn't think much of it and quickly went over to sit down.

Did they give you any trouble?

No one from the Du family was present when Du Anrao met with Liu Qi and his wife that day.

Even though Xi Jingyue later secretly revealed this matter to Du Desheng, the matter was of great importance, and the fewer people who knew about it before there was concrete evidence, the better. So Du Desheng didn't tell anyone about it.

The Du family members had no idea what Du Anrao had just discussed with those big shots, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

"No, those uncles and elders are very kind. Why would they make things difficult for me for no reason?"

The Du family members: "..." Only you would think that way. No matter how kind people are on the surface, they can't be careless if they sit in their positions. Otherwise, they might be devoured alive and then have to thank the person who sold them for a good price.

"Besides, Grandpa is here, so you can all rest assured."

The Du family members exchanged glances. That was true. Although they hadn't been in City B for some time, they had heard how much the two elders had taken care of and doted on Du Anrao during her stay in City B.

With him backing her up, even if my girl causes a huge disaster, he should be able to help hold it up... right?
The only one who knew the truth wasn't as optimistic as the others: "Are you really okay?"

"I'm fine. The process was a bit tortuous, but the result was good," Du Anrao replied casually after taking a sip of the pork tripe soup handed to him by his mother.

After answering, she seemed to notice something and turned to look at Xi Jingyue in surprise: "Mr. Xi, what are you doing here?"

Xi Jingyue: "..." So you're only just realizing who I am now.

As soon as Du Anrao said this, the atmosphere at the table suddenly froze, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Xi Jingyue.

If gazes could materialize, he would probably be riddled with holes by now.

Du Anrao also noticed the awkward atmosphere and looked up at everyone in confusion: "Did I say something wrong?"

This table was clearly reserved for their family: Mr. and Mrs. Du, their eldest, second, third, and fourth brothers, and her—seven people in total. Add Du Bixiao and Du Miao, and they could be considered a family.

Therefore, just by looking at him, Xi Jingyue, the only outsider, seemed unusually out of place.
Xi Jingyue's eyelids twitched, and before he could say anything, Du Hexuan, who was sitting on his other side, sneered first: "The other tables didn't want him, so he had nowhere to sit and we reluctantly took him in."

"Is that so?" Du Anrao frowned and turned to look at the butler with a puzzled expression.

Grandpa is so concerned about this wedding banquet, so logically, there shouldn't be such a blunder, right?
Butler Du's gaze swept over Du Hexuan and Xi Jingyue, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Xi, please sit at this table. Most of the seating arrangements for today's wedding banquet were personally arranged by Madam."
