Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

"Don't bother if you can't figure it out," the master's wife comforted her softly. "Maybe it's because there's someone in between you, and you can't see the other man's palm, that's why you can't figure it out."

"That's...possible," the eldest disciple replied after a moment's thought.

"If Mr. Lu really does experience the backlash of fate you mentioned in the future, you must help him a lot." The sister-in-law sighed, "It's so comfortable to be around him. I don't know why, but I feel that just being by his side, even just eating, makes me feel better. Mr. Lu looks like he comes from a great family, and he truly deserves the words 'clear moon and gentle breeze.'"

"Of course it's comfortable," the senior brother exclaimed. "With him around, I haven't encountered a single red light while driving. The roads that are usually congested are no longer congested. The seafood I ordered is the most lively and fresh I've ever seen. How could it not be comfortable? It's so comfortable that I can even save a lot on gas."

Lu Qiu, the elegant gentleman in the eyes of his senior brother and sister-in-law, was sitting cross-legged on the carpet with Xia Wange, exchanging information while peeling melon seeds.

"My senior brother is a good person," Lu Qiu said. "He and his wife have a very good relationship."

Xia Wange nodded, "My senior brother has known my sister-in-law for a long time and pursued her for a long time. My sister-in-law has a very, very good temper. My senior brother is lucky to have her."

After recounting some information he had gathered that day, Lu Qiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think they might... um..."

Lu Qiu originally wanted to say the words "make love" directly, but seeing that Xia Wange looked only sixteen years old, he felt that his conscience would be condemned if he said it. But then he thought that the other person's soul was already over twenty.

Torn between the two, he could only continue, "When I went to wash my hands, I vaguely overheard their conversation. My senior brother asked my sister-in-law if she was more than three months pregnant, if the pregnancy was stable, and if it should be okay. My sister-in-law nudged my senior brother with her elbow."

Hearing this, Xia Wange put the sunflower seeds that Lu Qiu had peeled into her mouth and nodded thoughtfully, "It should be, it's about what I estimated. Bai Laodeng controlled my senior brother for a very short time. For my senior brother to be able to kill his sister-in-law in such a short time, the two of them must have been very close to each other to be able to strangle his sister-in-law so quickly."

"My senior sister-in-law went to bed early after she got pregnant, while my senior brother is a night owl. He often works in the study until midnight. Going to bed at midnight is considered early. Under what circumstances would my senior brother go to bed early? Mostly afterward. Sigh."

Hearing Xia Wange's sigh, Lu Qiu pursed his lips, feeling sad for his senior brother as well.

The person he loved most died by his own hand under such circumstances. Anyone would go crazy in this situation. He couldn't help but think of Xia Wange when she was being controlled.

His eyes were cold, filled with murderous intent, and devoid of any emotion...

"So I prepared this! Ta-da~" Xia Wange handed a page to Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu examined it closely and became even more puzzled. "A sound wave converter? For monitoring sound waves?"

"Yes," Xia Wange nodded. "I've already moved the machine to the house next to my senior brother's. The house next door is empty, and there's a room right next to my senior brother's master bedroom. I've also placed the sound wave converter against the wall. I'll go over and install it tomorrow. After all, I can't exactly eavesdrop on my senior brother and sister-in-law's... you know..."

"If it were just my senior brother, I'd listen, it'd just be a sty. The problem is my senior sister-in-law is also there, I have to protect her privacy, so I prepared this. We'll watch the curves the machine draws next door, and if anything seems off, we'll rush over!"

Lu Qiu carefully read the feature description: "..."

It's really science that's completely baffling.

"Sigh, if only it were in the future, I wouldn't have to do all this. I could just put in a listening device for the AI ​​to eavesdrop, analyze what's going on over there, and notify me if there's a problem." Xia Wange stretched, "That way I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble eavesdropping."

Lu Qiu fell silent again.

He discovered that Xia Wange's metaphysical methods were improving, and her scientific methods were also keeping pace with the times, not lagging behind at all.

Fortunately, he runs a technology company, which gives him access to cutting-edge technologies.

"Can this problem be solved without talismans or anything?" Lu Qiu glanced at the sonic device again, still feeling that eavesdropping was a bit abstract.

"My senior brother is a few years older than me, although I am exceptionally talented and progress rapidly..."

Speak like a human.

"My senior brother is also quite skilled in metaphysics. Although he's a tiny bit less skilled than me, there's no way I can eavesdrop on him without him noticing."

"Even drawing talismans in the air won't work?" Lu Qiu was shocked.

"How so?" Xia Wange scratched his head. "The reason why Bai Laodeng wanted to kill my senior brother so much was because my senior brother was the biggest obstacle on Bai Laodeng's path to immortality before I officially came out of the mountains. Drawing talismans in the void might work, but I dare not gamble. My senior brother can perceive metaphysics very quickly, but he may not be able to do so scientifically. There are still few sorcerers like me who cultivate both."

"Indeed, there are few." Lu Qiu nodded in affirmation.

Xia Wange sighed, "My senior brother suffered because he was older and had less schooling. Before, academic qualifications weren't that important, so our master didn't pay much attention to it. It was only when I got to my sixth senior sister that our master suddenly heard that Buddhist disciples needed to have a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant field. So she urged me to study hard and get a university degree so that I wouldn't be looked down upon by the Buddhist community and wouldn't have any confidence when showing off my qualifications."

Lu Qiu: "...Master is quite farsighted."

Xia Wange shrugged and didn't reply.

For dinner, they had a seafood platter that their senior brother had ordered from the restaurant. The talismans drawn on the bottom of the platter were something that sixteen-year-old Xia Wange struggled to decipher, but for twenty-six-year-old Xia Wange, it was a piece of cake.

The next day, after preparing some more things, the two rushed into the house next to the senior apprentice's shop while he was cooking dinner.

Since this morning, Xia Wange has hardly spoken and has remained very silent.

She carefully placed a black bag beside her, carrying it with her no matter what she did. Even when installing the sound wave conversion device on the wall, she remained silent throughout the process. Lu Qiulai was the one who ultimately installed the device on the wall.

After the equipment was installed, the sound wave conversion plotter started moving from time to time with very small fluctuations. The two guessed that it might be some interference from other sources, but it was not a big problem.

With everything ready, the two sat back on a soft sofa and waited, the black bag still lying beside them.

Feeling the atmosphere was getting a bit too tense, Lu Qiu pointed to his mouth, asking if he could speak.
