Chapter 94: Nine Trigram Lines Shell

“I hope that Teacher Xing’s younger sister will return safely,” Bai Weiyu said softly.

“Anyway, girls should be careful when going out,” Dang Nan said.

“Oh, right. Do you believe in divination?” Chi Jiao suddenly sat up straight and looked at the three girls in front of her with sparkling eyes.

Girls nowadays believed in things like horoscopes and koi luck. The three girls nodded in unison.

“Want me to help you all divine?” Chi Jiao asked with a smile.

“You know how to do it?” Dang Nan’s eyes lit up. She was a little superstitious. She had even specially visited a fortune-teller previously. That fortune-teller said that she was born to have riches and honor, and would be a big star in the future.

Dang Nan’s dream was to become an outstanding actress.

She had been shy to tell anyone about this dream, but she had been secretly working hard to fulfill it.

Therefore, when the fortune-teller said that she would become a superstar, she felt that he had guessed correctly. From that moment on, she had believed in such things.

“Jiaojiao, quickly help me calculate how many marks I can get when our term tests start.” Yi Lanlan looked at Chi Jiao with shining eyes.

Bai Weiyu sat by the side and smiled quietly without saying a word.

“Wait for me, I’ll go get something.” With that, Chi Jiao stood up.

A moment later, she returned with an item.

“Jiaojiao, is that a turtle shell you’re holding?” Yi Lanlan looked at the item in Chi Jiao’s hand and found it familiar.

“Yes.” After Chi Jiao sat down, she placed the turtle shell on the table.

Bai Weiyu, Dang Nan, and Yi Lanlan looked at the turtle shell in unison. Only when they were close did they realize that the turtle shell in front of them wasn’t ordinary.

The palm-sized turtle shell was carved with words and symbols that they couldn’t understand. There were Small Seal Script [1. An archaic form of Chinese calligraphy] and Oracle Bone Script [2. Earliest form of Chinese writing].

They couldn’t understand a single word.

“My divination skills were taught to me by my grandma. She knows how to help people read fortunes and misfortunes.” When Chi Jiao thought of her god grandmother, a look of longing flashed across her clear eyes.

In her eyes, god grandmother and god grandfather were the people closest to her, so she usually called them grandpa and grandma directly.

“Jiaojiao, I really didn’t expect you to know how to do this.” Yi Lanlan felt like she had broadened her horizons.

Dang Nan had also changed her opinion of Chi Jiao. She really couldn’t bring herself to associate this soft and cute girl with those half-immortal fortune-tellers.

“What’s this called?” Bai Weiyu was more interested in the turtle shell.

“This is called the Nine Trigram Lines Shell.” Chi Jiao’s finger gently rubbed the lines on the turtle shell. “My grandma gave it to me. It’s especially used to measure ominous luck and predict one’s good luck.”

“Then, how does it read our fortunes?” Yi Lanlan had already turned into a curious child.

“I need a drop of your blood to drip onto the shell. Then, I will help you to read it,” Chi Jiao said softly.

The moment Yi Lanlan heard that she needed a drop of blood, she became a little afraid. However, her curiosity overcame her fear. “Hurry, hurry. Help me read mine first. I want to see if I can achieve good results at the end of term.”

Chi Jiao smiled and nodded. Then, she dug out the medicine box from the cabinet in the living room and found a needle.

After disinfecting the needle, Chi Jiao pricked Yi Lanlan’s finger and squeezed a drop of blood onto the turtle shell.

Dang Nan and Bai Weiyu watched Chi Jiao’s actions unblinkingly. Like Yi Lanlan, they were also very curious about the ancient-looking Nine Trigram Lines Shell.

Initially, they thought that Yi Lanlan’s blood would produce some kind of magical change when it dripped onto the shell. However, they were disappointed when nothing happened.
