Chapter 19 A guest came.

After Fan Xian made an appointment with Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, he suddenly thought of Li Anlai. He turned to Fan Sizhe and said, "I agree to your treat, but I have to invite one more person tomorrow."

Fan Sizhe felt a pang of pain in his heart. It was already expensive to treat you to a meal, and he wanted to treat one more person? This meant spending more money! He sighed reluctantly and asked, "Who is it? Do I have to go? This is a private dinner at our house. I am here to apologize to you for what happened two days ago."

"That person is my friend. If you don't want to go, then I won't go." Fan Xian's attitude was firm.

Fan Sizhe secretly gnashed his teeth, thinking if you don't go, how can I find someone to deal with you? So he quickly agreed: "Okay, count your friends, but no more. I don't have that much money."

Fan Xian nodded, but then he remembered that he didn't know where Li An lived now. He turned to his sister Fan Ruoruo and said, "Ruoruo, can you help me with something?"

"Brother, what is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it." Fan Ruoruo replied. She respected her brother very much and basically would do whatever he asked. Because only she knew how talented her brother was.

Fan Xian said, "My friend is called Li An, and he came to Beijing with me. But I still don't know where he lives. Can you ask someone to help me find out? I'll ask my father to see if I can get any information."

Fan Ruoruo nodded and agreed to this.

Only Fan Sizhe said sarcastically, "You don't even know where your friend lives. How can you still be considered a good friend?"

Fan Xian glanced at him and said nothing. He thought to himself that Li An had said that he would become famous in the city, so there would be no problem finding him. So he felt relieved and turned to Fan Jian's study to ask about Li An. Unexpectedly, he got the answer after just a brief mention.

In the study, Fan Jian stroked his beard and said, "Your friend is now famous in Kyoto. You don't need to know the details of how he became famous. As for where he lives, he now lives in a courtyard in the west of the city. The specific address is..."

Fan Xian bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, father."

At Fan Jian's nod, Fan Xian left the study.

Li An ended his training state and looked at the sky outside, which was already slightly brighter. Looking at the experience value on the panel, he suddenly felt a headache. Although it felt that if he continued to practice like this, it would be a long way to go to the next level.

But some things are not afraid of your efforts, especially when you have a progress bar. Once anything has a progress bar, if you don't fill it up, it can make a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient die on the spot!
It's like running. If you are asked to run five kilometers, many people will get tired and feel that they don't know how far the road ahead is, so they will give up. But with a progress bar, they will grit their teeth and persevere, thinking, there is not much left, just hold on and you will get there!
The same principle applies to doing things. People who are good at planning will divide their goals into milestones. Then you will have a progress bar, and you will know that things are progressing. You will keep chasing your goals like completing tasks in a game.

Li An thought the same way. Looking at the progress bar of Tyrannical Qi LV7: 446/5, he decisively chose to give up.

There's no point in repairing this.

Then he thought of his divination skills. Since he had no experimental subjects at the moment, he might as well try it on himself.

"Hmm... what are you fortune-telling for? Just fortune-telling when you will get rich?"

Just do it when you think of it. Li An paused and finally came to a conclusion. It was not a vague hexagram, but it was extremely accurate. It was today!

"Oh, it looks like we have distinguished guests coming today! This hexagram shows that there will be three waves of guests today!"

This amused Li An. This skill is really useful. What if I go out? Does it mean that the hexagram I calculated is not accurate? Or can I still get rich even if I go out?

After thinking for a while, Li An felt that it was just like what was said on the Internet in his previous life. Divination or divination should be used to calculate the most likely possibility. People have countless possibilities, and countless paths. Usually, they consciously or unconsciously seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Now that he has the ability to divination, he will naturally choose the option that is most beneficial to him!
After thinking about his own character, he quickly got up to boil water and make tea, and put it on the guest table in the front hall. Then he put a complete set of tea sets and prepared chairs. His movements were very smooth. Then he returned to his seat and sat down to look at some books left behind in this courtyard.

Boom, boom, boom!
There were three knocks on the door, but no one was heard.

Here comes a guest!
Li An imitated Gong Dian and exerted all his strength, so that his internal force could break out of his body and brush towards the gate outside the courtyard. With a click, the double doors slowly opened to both sides. This exhausted Li An. It was not easy for him to break out of his body with his internal force at his current level of the seventh rank. Fortunately, his domineering true qi was quite special, but it was a delicate job to control the door to open instead of destroying it! And the distance was not close, more than ten meters!
"Please come in!"

Fortunately, I was sitting, Li An said loudly. Randomly, he sat down silently and recovered his true energy.

After the door was opened, the outside world could be seen clearly. Many people came in, but they were all in plain clothes. After hearing Li An's voice, everyone stayed outside, and only two people stepped in.

It was none other than the second prince, Li Chengze, the son of Emperor Qing and Concubine Shu, and his retainer (bodyguard and part-time thug) Xie Bian!
Li Chengze looked into the inner room and saw a young man sitting at the table in the front hall. He was concentrating on reading a book in his hand, taking a sip from his teacup from time to time. He looked so comfortable!

Looking around, there was no servant or maid serving, so it was obvious who had opened the door just now.

"I'm sorry to have a visitor here, sir, to disturb your pleasure."

The second prince walked into the front courtyard, took off his shoes, and sat down on the left side of the table. Xie Bian followed closely behind him, staying by his master's side, and stood at the back.

"If a noble like the Second Prince is considered a bad guest, then my little courtyard will no longer have any guests, right?"

Ang Lee smiled slightly, waved his left hand, and using his clever strength, two cups of hot tea flew out!

"Master, be careful!"

Xie Bian was about to draw his sword to chop the two cups of tea into pieces, but the Second Prince raised his hand to stop him.

The teacup flew right to the table in front of the Second Prince, steam rising from the cup, but not a drop of water leaked out. Seeing this, Xie Bian put away his sword.

Li Chengze frowned, looked at Li An's face, and said pointedly: "Sir, you are very clever, I wonder how you guessed my identity?"

"The second prince is famous, and he brings with him Xie Bian, who is known for his 'fast sword' and the number one swordsman in Kyoto. It is not difficult to guess," Li An explained.

Li Chengze looked at the tea that had been prepared long ago, full of curiosity: "Did you know I would come to your house today?"

"I know someone will come to my house, but I don't know who he is. After all, I am a fortune teller."

Li An's mysterious figure, reflected in Li Chengze's eyes, made him feel troubled. You usually pretend to be smart, but today you can still pretend? It seems that he is a big shot. He immediately overturned the attitude he had prepared before and softened his tone.

"I have long yearned to meet you since I heard your name. Your fame has spread all over Kyoto, but no one has been the first to visit you. And I like to be the first one to do everything, so I disturbed you today."

Li An smiled and said, "I am a fortune teller, so naturally I hope someone will come to patronize my business. This is not considered a nuisance. Now that I have come to live in Kyoto, life is difficult. I am also afraid that no one will bother me and that I will have a hard time making ends meet."

Li Chengze felt that Li An was different because his tone was not as respectful as that of ordinary people, but rather very casual. "It's not that I don't believe in your ability, I just think you are too young. Is it really as 'iron-mouthed' as the rumors say?"

Seeing that Li An was smiling and silent, Li Chengze continued, "Then sir, can you figure out why I came here today?"

Li An thought for a moment and replied, "You came to my Wanshizhai to get your doubts answered. Otherwise, you came to recruit me?"

"Why is it impossible?"
