Chapter 130

The main hall of Tenshukaku suddenly fell silent.

Raiden Makoto knelt to the side, waiting with peace of mind.

Gu Chen tidied up the desk, quickly setting the official documents aside.

Glancing at the now-clean desktop, Gu Chen extended his right hand and snapped his fingers.

After a 'click' sound, a blue light suddenly lit up on the desktop. These rays of light did not scatter; instead, they condensed together like swimming snakes, moving across the

tabletop.

Raiden Makoto widened her eyes, watching with curiosity.

These swimming snakes gradually formed a complex and mysterious formation, leaving Raiden Makoto somewhat stunned.

She knew this was a method of Gu Chen the mage; she could not understand the formation, but she did not speak up to ask.

When she turned her head to look at Gu Chen, she didn't know when he had already taken out a deck of cards.

Those cards looked as if they were made of flattened metal, their edges appearing somewhat sharp. The patterns on each card were different, but the only thing that was the same was that the back of each card was printed with a

pentagram inside a circle, and around this large pattern were many complex symbols.

Swish—

The cards in Gu Chen's hands flew up, rotating in mid-air, having already completed the shuffling process.

One by one, the cards flew down and arranged themselves neatly into the formation on the desktop.

Gu Chen lifted his chin, signaling: "Try drawing one?"

Raiden Makoto came back to her senses. All the card backs were identical. She thought for a brief moment, then randomly drew the one in the very center.

Flipping the card over, it was printed with a strange-looking monster.

To call it an octopus didn't seem quite right, but to call it an elephant wasn't right either.

It was as if it were a collection of features from many different creatures.

"This, what is this?"

Raiden Makoto did not understand; she only felt that the image on this card was somewhat ugly, making one feel rather uncomfortable.

Gu Chen looked at that card and fell into deep thought.

Only after shaking his head did he put all the cards away, then a turtle shell and a few copper coins appeared in his hand.

After putting all the copper coins into the turtle shell, Gu Chen began to shake it.

Clatter, clatter, clatter—

While shaking, he muttered words that were unclear to the listener.

After a few breaths, Gu Chen scattered the copper coins.

Several copper coins presented themselves on the desktop; Raiden Makoto watched, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Is this some kind of divination method?

Gu Chen did not speak this time; with a calm expression, he swept a glance over them, and both the copper coins and the turtle shell vanished.

Finally, after wiping away the formation on the desktop, Gu Chen extended his right hand to calculate for a moment, then remained silent.

Raiden Makoto could not help it anymore and tried asking: "Could it be that Ei's fate is not very good?"

As she spoke, her face carried a worried expression, feeling somewhat anxious.

"No." Gu Chen shook his head.

Raiden Makoto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but the next moment, as if realizing something, she said: "Then, then is my fate not very good?"

"That's not it either."

Gu Chen still shook his head. Seeing Raiden Makoto's face full of confusion, he began to explain: "Don't worry about it. Perhaps it's just that my skills are not refined enough. The results given by the three divination methods are all the same."

"There isn't much change in the fate of you sisters, so there is no need to worry."

"How is this possible?"
