   Summary

   While trailing one of Wu Yanzi's targets, Shen Jiu encounters a fortune teller in the market who tells him that the red thread tied to his soul is frayed, but not yet broken. Moments later, he runs into Yue Qingyuan, who had come to the city searching for Wu Yanzi. Their eyes meet, and a few small ripples change fate's course entirely.
