I nodded, signaling him to go back and sit, not to be too formal.
After Governor He sat down, I looked at him, then at Madam He and their daughter. I pretended to close my eyes, tapped my forehead with my finger, and then slowly opened my eyes, saying, "If this immortal calculates correctly, this is your wife, right?"
"Indeed," Governor He said.
"Her surname is Zhao, her given name is Manli. A very pleasant name."
As I spoke, all three of them looked astonished.
Their daughter whispered to her mother, "Wow, this great immortal is amazing! She can even calculate your name!"
Though her voice was low, I could still hear it. Since I obtained the demon core of the Whale God, not only have I gained night vision, but my hearing, sense of smell, and other senses have all improved, and this improvement is continuous.
With my pinky finger, I pointed at the daughter: "He Zihan, born in the year Gengchen, on the eighth day of the eighth month. Currently… studying at Jinling University, in your third year. Is that correct?"
The daughter's eyes, filled with both fear and surprise, widened. Her small mouth parted, "H-how can you calculate so precisely?"
"What does the year Gengchen mean?" Madam He whispered to her daughter.
"It means 2001. I'm born in the Year of the Dragon, right!"
Madam He also looked at me with adoring eyes. However, Yao Yao's next action made the veil of mystery even thicker.
Yao Yao rested her elbows on the table and counted on her slender fingers, "Zihan, stay away from your boyfriend. He's not a good person."
He Zihan's face turned slightly red, but Madam He laughed, "Immortal Two, I think you might have miscalculated this. Our Zihan doesn't have a boyfriend."
"Really not?" Yao Yao chuckled. "If not, then who was it you shared a bed with in Jinling three days ago?"
To put it plainly, Yao Yao could tell that the night before He Zihan returned from Jinling (perhaps the school had an early break? In this extraordinary period, universities are rushing to catch up, and early breaks facilitate management), she had spent the night with a man!
She must have seen it through physiognomy. I haven't yet acquired this ability.
Governor He's face immediately darkened, and he questioned his daughter, "Zihan, didn't I warn you not to date before graduating from university? Is what Immortal Two saying true!"
He Zihan was so ashamed she looked like she was about to cry, biting her lip tightly. Fortunately, after a harsh blow, Yao Yao offered a sweet reward. She smiled slightly, "Governor He, please rest assured. Your daughter is very reserved and still a virgin. I merely advised her not to be deceived by a scumbag's affections."
Governor He, being educated and a graduate of North China University, understood Yao Yao's words, and his anger somewhat subsided.
Madam He, however, didn't understand and even asked Yao Yao what "virgin" meant.
"Oh, Mom, stop talking nonsense!" He Zihan frowned.
I waved my hand. "Alright, everyone. The affairs of young people are best left to them to handle. Second sister, you too. You haven't even figured out your own matters, why are you giving unsolicited advice to others?"
"How have I not figured things out?" Yao Yao retorted defensively. "My boyfriend might be a total scumbag, but I'm no saint either. We're quite a good match. Big brother, don't you think?"
"...Ah, yes, yes, yes," I said, blocking her view with my hand and turning to Old Eight, who was still smoking. "Little Immortal, Governor He's last visit to Jiuxian Cave was to worship you. You should handle the matters of vows and fulfilling them. Your second sister and I are just here for a meal."
"Oh," Governor He exclaimed in surprise. "So this Third One is the celestial being I worshipped! My apologies, my apologies!"
Huang Xiaoxian skillfully flicked away some ash and said coolly, "There's no need for such politeness. Whatever wish you have, Governor He, please do not hesitate to speak."
"Um..." Governor He subconsciously glanced back at the entrance.
I chuckled. "Don't worry, Governor He. The entire second floor is empty."
Governor He gave a sheepish smile. "You all are truly divine beings. Nothing escapes the notice of you immortals. Indeed, I had the owner clear the place, fearing it might disturb you... Well, in that case, I won't be polite."
"Please speak," I said, gesturing.
