The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 10: Xize Defends His Own Face-Slapping Emperor Ying's Identity Exposed


The Lorentz Family naturally noticed that Di Wu Yue entered with a foreigner, but they didn't think much of it.

Some Westerners, slow to receive news, still believed that the Di Wu Family was the premier Feng Shui family in Hua Country, unaware that the Lorentz Family was truly the first.

How shortsighted.

If not for the young man's remarks, Di Wu Yue wouldn't have seen Luo Ziqiu, let alone the woman in the qipao standing beside him.

"Miss Hongxiu." The young man coldly glanced at Di Wu Yue, then turned his head. "This was the childhood betrothal my cousin had arranged, already canceled, the karma severed. You needn't dwell on it."

Gu Hongxiu.

The eldest daughter of the Luonan Gu Family, twenty-three years old this year.

In Luonan's Feng Shui Divination Circle, the Luo and Gu Families were equally famous.

Gu Hongxiu gently nodded, smiling without showing her teeth.

She didn't look at Di Wu Yue either but gently held onto Luo Ziqiu's arm with a slightly superior demeanor.

Xize smiled: "Rest assured, Yueyue... isn't interested in your Lorentz Family. She took on the mission of the Luonan Ancient Tomb long ago. Aren't you the ones following her?"

He raised his hand, naturally and calmly wrapping his arm around the girl's shoulder, pulling her in close.

A distance only lovers would have.

Even though Xize wore a mask, his physique and aura far surpassed Luo Ziqiu's.

"Who is the gentleman beside Miss Yue? Such an aura is rare."

"He seems a bit like the ruler of the Lorentz Family."

"Can't be, can it? Isn't the Lorentz Family about to hold a conference?"

Di Wu Yue unexpectedly collided with his chest and stammered: "You... you, why are you so close to me?"

The young man had a faint cornflower fragrance about him, refreshing and alluring.

As if drawing one back to the Jade Ice Cui of three hundred years ago.

The grand industrial empire.

And he held power, perched at its peak.

"Don't overthink it." Xize lowered his head and voice, indifferently saying, "I promised the boss not to let anyone bully you, so bear with it as I act as your boyfriend for a day."

As he said this, he sized her up again: "Bean sprout."

Di Wu Yue: "..."

How infuriating.

Who needs this kind of temporary boyfriend?

Di Wu Yue scratched her head: "Well, you acting as my temporary boyfriend without asking me should cancel out some of my debt, right?"

Xize: "…Are you addicted to greed?"

Luo Ziqiu, seeing Xize's arm around the girl's shoulder, felt an inexplicable irritation.

He pinched his fingers, stopped looking over, and joined the other diviners in plotting the terrain.

Suddenly, an elderly woman let out a scream.

Di Wu Yue's expression changed slightly as she looked over, finding that the elderly woman spat out blood, her head tilted, and she fainted on the spot.

Xize's gaze fixed: "What's wrong with her?"

"She likely suffered backlash while divining the tomb owner's name." Di Wu Yue's expression was grave. "It seems the predecessor in charge of guarding the tomb was indeed very strong."

After the elderly woman collapsed, a new Feng Shui Master immediately took her place.

The elder who was also divining shouted: "Master Ziqiu, can you deduce it?"

"No." Sweat appeared on Luo Ziqiu's forehead, "It's impossible; the obstruction is too strong."

Knowing the name and origins of the tomb owner in advance would reduce many troubles during the tomb exploration.

"Never mind, we'll just have to go in as we are." The elder wiped his sweat, "We can't deduce it."

Gu Hongxiu suddenly spoke: "Miss Yue, were you able to deduce the tomb owner?"

"Of course." Di Wu Yue clapped her hands, "This is the tomb of Princess Qiong Yu of the Xia Dynasty. She was born in 1780 BC, died in 1798 BC, and the tomb was completed in 1805 BC."

"..."

Suddenly, silence fell around them.

Luo Ziqiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Despite their combined efforts, they couldn't deduce the tomb owner's identity, yet Di Wu Yue could even pinpoint the dates clearly?

Gu Hongxiu smiled: "Sister Yue, I've long heard of your reputation, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. However, at such a young age, it's best not to be too vain."

"I only have one second sister, and who are you to act superior?" Di Wu Yue didn't look up, "Don't mess around claiming kinship."

From childhood, Gu Hongxiu had been a lady from a well-known family and had never been spoken to like this, momentarily at a loss for words.

The goodwill that had just arisen in Luo Ziqiu's heart vanished instantly, and he said coldly: "Di Wu Yue, do you know how to spell the word 'politeness'?"
