Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Fire Phoenix 6: Trust and Trust

Yi Hua looked puzzledly at a very seedy residence. If Yi Hua's residence was a bit shabby, then this place was very, very shabby. Even you can see there are new plants that come hitchhiking live on the roof. Some of the roof rafting has also disappeared somewhere. Coupled with one part of the wall that was broken.

The question was why did An bring Yi Hua to this place?

"Usually if you want to kill someone, then do it in a quiet place" Xiao said.

Yi Hua for the umpteenth time wanted to strangle Xiao. However, this system never intended to give Yi Hua a solution. Xiao will always give him high blood pressure every day. Well, even though Xiao is rather useful sometimes.

"Xiao, didn't I ask you to investigate about the aura from An earlier? Why haven't you given me an answer?" yi Hua asked inwardly.

Xiao sounded like he was ready to spread out all his heart. "Do you understand how wild this energy from An is? It's like you're paying attention to something that's not at all clear. In the end, you only know he's strong, but you don't know how he's strong. It was like he had a veil inside him. Like he's not human, but on the one hand he's human."

Is it that complicated?

Or, ... Is this An actually a human shell? It was possible that she was a 'doll' sent by the kingdom to watch over Yi Hua. If so, the royal person who sent him must have immense power. However, as far as Yi Hua could remember, none of the imperial officials had more fighting power compared to Huan Ran. And, Huan Ran, was clearly no stronger than An.

SRETT!

The dreamy Yi Hua instantly came to a realization as An stood before her. Maybe he looks like a sleeping man with his eyes open right now. So it will come to check if Yi Hua will not be possessed when he stands up.

"What are you thinking?" ask An to Yi Hua. His gaze was still sharp as before. And, Yi Hua knew that An was still in a bad feeling.

Yi Hua pointed at the broken-down house here and there, "This residence has its own beauty. Especially on the roof. Like being able to grow crops in the house, without the need to plow the soil," said Yi Hua.

An extended his hand to Yi Hua's face, and it made him have to close his eyes. He doesn't want An to show his eyes. But the man did not seem as cruel as Yi Hua thought. Because, An only rubbed the eyelids of Yi Hua who was exposed to dust. If left unchecked, perhaps Yi Hua would be flickering in a matter of seconds.

The problem is ... Yi Hua only realized that An was paying attention to her. I don't know why.

Yi Hua suddenly asked again, "Xiao, is he really the royal overseer? Why are his eyes so keen on me?"

Then, Xiao was lazy to answer. He now became very sorry for An. However Yi Hua was created with a sensitivity that was very far from average. It was very strange, whereas Yi Hua was very sensitive about one's feelings towards others. Why is he insensitive to other people's feelings for him?

Or, Hi Hua is only a handful of people who do not want to depend on others?

He said, if you start to have feelings for someone else, there you start to feel dependent. Either in terms of venting feelings, or in times when you need someone to accompany. That's a little strange, and you understand right away that humans can't actually live alone.

"Why are we here, Mr An? We should have met the Prime Ministers." Yi Hua immediately distanced his face from the distance that An could touch.

Then, he replaced An's previous hand. He rubbed his eyelids with his arms just like that. Like he doesn't really care about cleanliness and stuff.

"They're here."

Yi Hua understood.

Yi Village was a far away village. There is no lodging there. Also, there is no stopping place for its visitors. And, obviously they have no relatives there. So that they can not stay in someone else's place to rest.

Just as Yi Hua was intending to enter, An suddenly shifted again to stop him. "I'm asking you, what are you thinking?" ask An again.

Yi Hua sighed. "Sir An who are you really? Are you a human shell?" yi Hua asked directly.

"Hey, how can you be so disrespectful? I've taught you to speak politely when you're with other people!" xiao said like mothers advising their children.

An squinted his eyes. "Why are you asking that question?" Yet this man did not look bothered by what Yi Hua asked.

"Sometimes you look like you have no expression, and are very calm. You also have great fighting abilities," Yi Hua explained without giving much importance to what Xiao had said before.

An took his breath. "Quiet is a good right to do. You can't fight with a fucked-up mind."

That makes sense.

But An was still strange in Yi Hua's eyes.

"Again, I was just wondering why you thought I was a human shell. Because, I have never heard of a human shell that can love," An said as he looked at Yi Hua.

Whatdoes thatmean?

Xiao wanted to cry for An.

An reached out his hand to touch Yi Hua's face. "I just never heard if a human shell could love someone. So with that feeling, maybe I'm not a human shell."

Believe me from what An said, there was little that Yi Hua could catch. Plus An's eyes are always the same. The man always looked at Yi Hua as if with somewhat empty eyes. There is always sadness there.

Just now Yi Hua felt An's hand on her face. Then, ...

BRACKET!

THE SNACK!

"Yi Hua, you're alive. Geisha .... I ..." The remark made Yi Hua immediately move away from An's hand.

He immediately looked towards Liu Xingsheng who had emerged from the door that was not intact anymore. With just a single push from Liu Xingsheng, the door opened without being able to close again. That was because the door was already on the ground.

Liu Xingsheng was suddenly astonished by Yi Hua who looked awkward. "Why do you look like you have a stomachache? Did those roots hurt you? Oh my goodness ... Let me kick those roots. Yi Hua don't cry yes," Liu Xingsheng said in succession.

Huan Ran could only sigh with this behavior of his comrade. How could Liu Xingsheng not realize what had happened. Even so, Huan Ran did not care. Because, as long as An is disturbed then it is not his business. He was happy when An was uncomfortable. Is clear! Because from the beginning Huan Ran was always fighting with An.

Yet Yi Hua felt like kicking Liu Xingsheng's head right now. Well, but because he did not want to be imprisoned for kicking the rotten Prime Minister's head, Yi Hua chose to be quiet. He only drew closer to Liu Xingsheng, and left An who was somehow his expression.

"I'm fine, Prime Minister Liu," Yi Hua said.

Then, Yi Hua paid his respects. "Does the Prime Minister have any information about this drought?" yi Hua asked to open the discussion.

Huan Ran folded both of his arms around his chest. "As far as we can think, it is related to the Phoenix Tree. It's just that this situation obviously can't be discussed with the residents."

"Why?" yi Hua asked not understanding.

Liu Xingsheng sighed. "That's all because these villagers don't trust the Phoenix Tree anymore. The Phoenix Tree had withered. So they're like people who realize there's nothing there."

That makes sense. Plus Yi Hua was already increasingly certain of the reason why Yi Xia could disappear so easily. It could have been that Yi Xia remained 'there' after giving birth to Yi Hua in the world. Yet the fewer people believed in it, the less power Yi Xia had.

THE TUNG!

THE TUNG!

The Qixi celebration begins. Although not as many as the Qixi Celebration in the City Center, but quite crowded to do in a village. So that it creates a crowd in a rather quiet village.

Yi Hua pointed towards the direction the voice came from. "We just need to show them that the Phoenix Tree has power. The previous roots were a sign that the Phoenix Tree was still alive. It's just that he doesn't have any more power."

"Yi Hua ..." An's voice sounded like he had a threat there.

However Yi Hua was already free from the entanglement of roots. Then, now Yi Hua wanted to deal again. Obviously it was like wanting to create the next riot.

But Yi Hua ignored An's words. "I don't think we have any other option to overcome this drought. It all starts with improving nature. After all, trees are something important in this world. Regardless of the tree it has a God or not, but just consider it part of improving nature."

What they did not understand was why did Yi Hua say as if this was an easy matter?

Huan Ran looked at Yi Hua fixedly. "What if this doesn't work?"

"At least we tried."

Title: Phoenix Who Fished Man in the River.

"Hey, I'm coming again!"

Why is this man so noisy?

Recently the God has always had someone come to disturb. If he knew this, it was better for him to let the figure get carried away with the current earlier. Anyway that figure is so annoying.

"Yi Xia, this is the third Qixi Celebration I met you. I'm just wondering why you're always on this tree? Why don't you come to the Qixi Festival?" ask the man who asked in one breath.

Like this guy said. Shi Heng did come every year to the Qixi Celebration to work. It seemed that due to Shi Heng's poor quality of work, he had finally been assigned to divination in the desolate Yi Village. Hence, only Shi Heng the royal oracle had always come to Yi Village.

And, for some reason every year the God is always waiting for the Feast of Qixi.

The god was still sitting on the tree. "I live here."

Shi Heng pointed at this tree with an expression of disbelief. "Tree this? You think I'm stupid? Where could you possibly stay here. You're not a dove or a leafworm!" said Shi Heng who felt like the smartest person in the world.

In fact, the God was not sure if Shi Heng had indeed found out about his identity. Maybe this guy is the one who doesn't really care about a person's identity. I don't know which one is right.

"Shi Heng." Suddenly the God called him.

The man immediately raised his head to stare at the God. "What's wrong?"

"What if people start not believing in you anymore?" ask the God who is beginning to realize that his power is constantly weakening.

Shi Heng patted his chest proudly. "I am Shi Heng. I didn't care if people believed me or not. After all, as long as you live your own way, and your way of life doesn't bother others, what do you need to care about?"

However ... A God without a person who believes in it means nothing. Trust is something that keeps Gods in this world. So he obviously can't live like this guy suggested.

"really?" That's all he can say.

Shi Heng then took the leaves of the tree that had just fallen. The leaves of the Phoenix Tree are quite attractive, because of their red color. So that when you just fall you can see the beauty of the leaves.

Then, Shi Heng gave it to the God. "After all, if you need someone to trust you, I'll be that person."

Does this guy understand what he's saying?

Shi Heng continued. "I am the one who will always believe in your existence, Yi Xia."

It was something the God could remember in his life. Someone said out loud that he believed.

But, ... One day ... The man can't see her anymore.

In what year. That man was no longer a young man. He looks more mature than before. Then, he came and realized that the Yi Xia he was looking for was not there.

The God is there. It was just that Shi Heng could not see him anymore. Either because Shi Heng had lost his spiritual ability, or the God was constantly fading away. No one knows which answer is right.

It was just that Shi Heng kept looking for him, and the God continued to show that he existed. However, there was no sound Shi Heng could hear. And, there was no figure that Shi Heng used to see.

The voice of the God did not reach him.

There was no conversation between them that day. It all feels like the end of the story.

Because, can you still believe something you can't see?
