Chapter 174: 168 Sending Ying Luwei to Prison [1 Update]
Ying Zijin was facing away from the truck.
She stood at the crossroads, with only Sheng Qingtang in front of her.
The others were still at the entrance to Han Pavilion, some distance from the crossroads.
The truck was making a lot of noise, which they naturally heard, but no one expected that the truck aimed to kill.
Sheng Qingtang’s expression changed drastically, and before he could even make a sound, his hands instinctively pushed the girl to the side.
But he was an old man to begin with, and Ying Zijin certainly wasn’t going to let him take the hit.
She turned around abruptly, gathered her inner strength in her left hand, and pushed Sheng Qingtang directly ten meters away.
Sheng Qingtang only felt a light breeze hitting him, and by the time he came back to his senses, he was already on the opposite side of the road.
By that time, the truck had already passed by.
The accident happened too quickly, and Sheng Qingtang cried out, “Little Divine Doctor!”
“Daddy Ying!”
This time of day was when the streets were most crowded, and Han Pavilion was located in a bustling area, so the surrounding people all screamed.
“Zijin!”
Old Master Zhong watched in utter fury.
He didn’t care about anything else anymore, nor did he mind that he was old himself, and he started running towards where the girl was.
But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn’t outpace the heavy-duty truck, which had accelerated to its maximum speed.
Ying Zijin didn’t dodge; Xiu Yu, Jiang Ran, and Elder Zhong were right behind her.
If the truck really crashed into them, these people would either die or be seriously injured.
She raised her hand to stop the truck.
“Crack!”
The moment her arm came into contact with the front of the truck, a clear sound of bone fracturing could be heard.
But the girl’s expression didn’t even waver; she lowered her eyelashes and frowned.
The strength still wasn’t enough.
This body had only just recovered and could activate ancient martial arts, but it was far from the strength she needed.
However, as if it insisted on taking her life, the truck was loaded with a lot of cargo, reaching its maximum load of 24 tons.
Ying Zijin breathed slowly, ready to block it with her body.
But the next second, before she could move, her waist was embraced, and she was rolled to the side with someone.
At the same time, the truck came to a stop.
“Screech—”
The piercing noise split the eardrums, and the entire street was in shock.
Not to mention Old Master Zhong, even Jiang Ran and Xiu Yu hadn’t reacted in time.
In the middle of the road.
Fu Yunshen was propping himself up with one hand, while his other arm still protected the girl’s waist.
Blood flowed from the hand he used to prop himself up, drop by drop against his porcelain pale skin, making it look even whiter.
“Are you all right?” Fu Yunshen looked down, intending to lift his hand, but seeing it still bleeding, he let it fall back down and paused, “Good, as long as you’re all right.”
Ying Zijin looked up, her gaze settling on him. ƒrēewebnovel.com
She had only injured her right arm, resulting in a minor fracture.
But due to Fu Yunshen embracing her and then forcibly bringing the truck to a halt, on the surface, there were no injuries, but he definitely had internal injuries.
This incident occurred less than a month since he was last shot.
Ying Zijin hadn’t anticipated today’s events.
Because after altering Shang Yaozhi’s death date last time, she also suffered a small backlash.
Although she did not suffer from the Five Defects and Three Flaws like other diviners, and certainly didn’t die,
her divine calculation abilities were directly sealed for half a month.
Divination was, after all, an interference with the cause and effect determined by heaven.
Just divining and not involving major events normally doesn’t lead to much.
But once a change was made, problems arose.
To change cause and effect, one must pay a corresponding price.
Either the diviner would suffer a backlash or someone closest to them would.
This is also why there are so few real diviners nowadays.
True diviners generally have some physical defect or another.
That is the precept of the “Five Defects and Three Flaws.”
The Five Defects are “widower, widow, orphan, solitary, and disabled.”
The Three Flaws are “lack of wealth, lack of life, lack of power.”
Diviners either have one of the Defects or one of the Flaws.
Whether it’s Europe’s Tarot Cards or Hua Country’s “The Book of Changes” and Zhou Yi, divination is a glimpse into the secrets of heaven.
But the secrets of heaven aren’t so easily glimpsed into.
If her abilities were fully restored, she wouldn’t be affected at all.
