Chapter 265: The Back‑Pushing Diagram

"This......"

Chen Yan stared with a pair of clear and innocent eyes, not knowing how to answer Li Chunfeng.

Should he tell Li Chunfeng that he's a time‑traveler, that he was indeed born twice?

Even setting aside whether anyone would believe it, he couldn't be foolish enough to say that out loud.

Pondering Li Chunfeng's words, Chen Yan's expression grew increasingly odd.

Could this be his time‑traveling golden finger?

Two seemingly awesome Bazi destinies?

"It doesn't seem impossible......"

Chen Yan scratched his head, recalling that ever since he crossed over, things had indeed been very smooth.

There was a completely obedient maid, not to mention several uncles who often thought of him, and when he went to the brothels with his brothers, they could even befriend the Crown Prince.

Most importantly, while staying at home, two wives showed up on their own.

The rest of matters were mostly smooth; occasional difficulties were quickly overcome, causing no trouble.

For example, when he performed surgery on Du Ruhui, Du still finds it somewhat unbelievable that, in such a harsh environment, it truly succeeded, and the wound never got infected, healing perfectly.

Just as he was pondering, Yuan Tiangang's second calculation was about to finish; as he was about to pour the copper coins out of the turtle shell, Li Chunfeng grabbed his wrist.

"Brother Li, what do you mean?" Yuan Tiangang, gasping heavily for reasons unknown, looked at his friend with full of doubt for stopping him.

"We can't continue, Brother Yuan!" Li Chunfeng said in a deep voice: "Earlier, the two of us combined our efforts just barely saw Mr. Chen's destiny. Now your body isn't what it used to be; even if you calculate the result, your fate won't be any better."

"Stop now; Mr. Chen isn't an ordinary person. It's right for us mere mortals not to understand."

"I......" Yuan Tiangang was at a loss for words, turned his head to glance at the interested Chen Yan, recalled the rumors about Chen Yan circulating among the townsfolk, and finally set down what he was holding.

"It's because I was too obsessed." Yuan Tiangang spoke slowly, his voice sounding light.

"That's not quite right." Li Chunfeng fell silent: "The result is truly unbelievable; your doubt is normal."

The two simultaneously fixed their gaze on Chen Yan, momentarily speechless.

Why call it unbelievable?

For instance, a child born in a yin year, yin month, yin hour might have a slight chance of acquiring an extremely yin body, called a pure‑yin Bazi, while one born in a yang year, yang month, yang hour is called a pure‑yang body.

What happened to Chen Yan is like a person born in a yin month and yin hour, gaining a pure‑yin Bazi, then slipping back into the mother's womb, and being born again in a yang year, yang month, yang hour, thereby, damn it, obtaining a pure‑yang body.

You'd say this isn't a joke, right?

No one can believe this!

Yet this absurdly outrageous thing happened to Chen Yan, right before their eyes.

In the yin‑yang five‑element destiny, the opposing water‑fire Bazi appeared simultaneously in one person, and it seemed perfectly harmonious.

This world...... has finally gone crazy into a shape they don't recognize?

"......"

"Mr. Chen, you're truly extraordinary......." Li Chunfeng remarked: "I'm beginning to believe the Imperial Physician; you might actually be a celestial descending to the mortal world."

Yuan Tiangang kept nodding in agreement.

"Sorry, sorry, ha~"

Chen Yan showed a shy smile.

Both: "......."

Alright, Li Chunfeng decided to retract his earlier words.

This guy could not be a celestial.

Would a celestial ever be so shameless?

"You've finished your business, right?" Chen Yan asked.

The two nodded in unison.

They came today because Yuan Tiangang wanted to see Chen Yan, and also to fulfill Li Shimin's request to give Chen Yan a facial reading.

The purpose was naturally achieved.

"Then...... I have a matter; could I ask you two a favor?" Chen Yan asked impatiently.

Li Chunfeng frowned darkly, recalling some unpleasant memories: "If Mr. Chen wants to ask what I'm looking at, then you shouldn't speak up."

Chen Yan: "......."

"Looking at what you say, am I that kind of person?"

The two remained silent, staring solely at Chen Yan.

"Alright, I swear I didn't intend to ask that." Chen Yan said helplessly.

It seems his reputation was getting worse.

"Then go ahead and ask; if it's within our abilities, we certainly won't refuse." Li Chunfeng replied cheerfully.

After all, he had freeloaded many things and knowledge from Chen Yan, and he always felt a bit embarrassed about it.

If there was a chance to help Chen Yan, Li Chunfeng didn't want to decline.

However, the instant Li Chunfeng's words left his mouth, Yuan Tiangang's eyelid twitched, and he was speechless inside.

What the hell, we two would definitely not refuse?

Did I promise that?

But Li Chunfeng's words had already been spoken, Yuan Tiangang didn't know what to say.

He could only tacitly agree.

"It's not really a difficult task; I just want to ask you, has the Back‑Pushing Diagram been completed?" Chen Yan said excitedly: "If it's done, could I have a look?"

"What is the Back‑Pushing Diagram?" the two were startled, looking at each other, not quite understanding Chen Yan's meaning.

"It's, it's the illustrated book you use to extrapolate future heavenly mechanisms." Chen Yan hurriedly explained.

As for the Tui Bei Tu, he really wants to see it.

Because this thing is truly exaggerated, it sounds unbelievable, but unfortunately it has been lost to later generations, so it can't be seen at all.

Now that he has come to this era and meets the creator of the Tui Bei Tu, how could he not want to check it out?

But Chen Yan didn't know that his words stirred a huge turmoil in the two's hearts.

"How did you know?" Yuan Tiangang exclaimed, losing his voice.

Regarding this picture book, the two hadn't told anyone, not even the serving boys below.

How did Chen Yan learn about it?

Li Chunfeng, however, didn't appear overly surprised.

Since the last banquet of Empress Changsun, when Chen Yan showed a special attitude toward Li Yuwan, he realized Chen Yan wasn't as simple as he seemed.

"Um…" Chen Yan pondered for two seconds, then sincerely said, "I say I dreamed it; will you believe me?"

Yuan Tiangang: "......"

Li Chunfeng: "......"

Whether Chen Yan dreamed or not they didn't know, but they knew Chen Yan was certainly treating them like fools.

"Mr. Chen, are you interested in this picture?" Yuan Tiangang took a small picture book from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"But why did Mr. Chen call it the Tui Bei Tu?"

Because it failed at the final moment, and Li Chunfeng withdrew, Yuan Tiangang never gave this picture book a name.

"Nothing much, I just thought the name suited it, so I called it that." Chen Yan's gaze fixed on the small picture book on the table, and he casually explained.

Tentatively reaching out, seeing Yuan Tiangang not stopping him, he quickly took the Tui Bei Tu and began leafing through it.

But as soon as he flipped to the second illustration, his expression instantly turned to uncontrollable laughter.
