Chapter 39
"If he doesn't improve, if these guys don't improve, how can I improve???&
Qiao Pingsheng: "..."
He looked at Shen Shu'an in front of him, and then at Xuan Yi standing beside her.
For some reason, even though these two people clearly only had the aura of ordinary people, he felt uneasy.
What should I do if I suddenly don't want to have my fortune told anymore?
He slowly raised his eyes and stroked his beard: "Young lady, what do you want to be?"
Shen Shu'an met Qiao Pingsheng's eyes, stroked her chin, and looked at Xuan Yi beside her: "Xuan Yi, what do you want to be?"
Xuan Yi: "?"
Why is he involved?
But when he saw Shen Shu'an ask, Xuan Yi also remembered how Wu Bo had tried to divine Shen Shu'an's fate but suffered a backlash and vomited blood.
His gaze lowered slightly, landing on Qiao Pingsheng, who was sitting behind the stall.
Qiao Pingsheng felt a chill run through his body, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Oh no, run!
Remember us, 101kanshu.com
However, seeing the two people blocking the stall, Qiao Pingsheng suppressed his heart palpitations and wiped his sweat.
"Young man, who do you think you are?"
Xuan Yi remained silent, his eyes slightly lowered, before he looked up two seconds later.
"Let's figure out how to make money."
When will I get rich?
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Pingsheng fell silent for a moment, then swallowed hard: "Haha, young brother, you're joking. You two are clearly wealthy and powerful people."
Shen Shu'an: "Oh?"
"Well, you guessed right. How about you calculate when I'll meet my soulmate?"
"My name is Shu An, and my surname is Shen."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Pingsheng stared intently at Shen Shuan's face in front of him. His left hand instinctively tried to calculate, but for some reason, it suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
He looked up in surprise and confusion, pressing his right hand firmly against his left, inwardly groaning in despair.
Oh no, oh no, today is really over, I'm going to die ...!
"Young lady, this old man... I'm suddenly feeling unwell. Perhaps we should call it a day?"
Qiao Pingsheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm as he uttered those words.
[Beep, host, what are you doing? The male lead is terrified.]
Shen Shu'an smiled slightly, not answering the system, but instead asking Qiao Pingsheng, "Qiao Pingsheng, is that right?"
"A Golden Core Peak cultivator, a disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, who has been setting up a stall here for three years in order to master the 'Qiankun Divination Technique'."
"And I'm planning to return to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion at the end of the year..."
"Hey, wait a minute, why are you running!"
Shen Shuan looked at Qiao Pingsheng, who had been remotely captured by Xuan Yi, and sighed helplessly.
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Qiao Pingsheng was sweating profusely. He had specifically calculated his fortune before leaving home, and it was supposed to be very auspicious. How could this have happened?
I thought these two were the lucky stars of the day, but now I realize they might not be skilled enough in Taoist arts.
It seems today is an extremely unlucky day; it's not advisable to travel!
He immediately burst into tears, and said to Shen Shu'an with teary eyes, "My fairy, I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I truly don't know when I offended you!"
Although the man in black had a higher cultivation level, he could tell that the man listened to the woman.
[Ding, host, 155 points of male protagonist's emotional value have been collected.]
Seeing Qiao Pingsheng weeping uncontrollably, Shen Shu'an sighed, "Sigh, I came here to help you, why are you crying?"
As she spoke, Shen Shu'an lowered her eyes, her expression turning serious: "Qiao Pingsheng, whether you believe it or not, someone in the Tianji Pavilion has already decided to take your life."
"After you return to your sect, within three days, someone will plant a Soul-Stealing Gu on you. You must be quite familiar with this Gu, right?"
"At first, the person who was poisoned by the Gu was completely unaware of it, but after three months, they were completely at the mercy of others, and eventually lost their mind and became a puppet."
"If you don't believe me, I'll ask you: did you lose a robe last month that you didn't notice, yet it has your bloodstains on it!"
Upon hearing Shen Shuan's words, Qiao Pingsheng trembled, his eyes filled with unconcealed shock.
Even Xuan Yi was surprised to see this and turned to look at Shen Shu'an.
[Ding, congratulations host, you have collected 500 emotional points from the male lead and 55 emotional points from Xuan Yi, for a total of 555 emotional points.]
[But, host, how did you know the male lead lost his robes???]
"Because I remember, duck."
Shen Shu'an answered in his heart: "The book says that a few months before he was to return to Tianji Pavilion, he was drenched in bird droppings and then urinated on by a toad. Finally, he was beaten by his aunt for telling her fortune that her grandson was gay."
"When he got home, he felt it was really bad luck, so he threw away the clothes that had been soiled with feces, urine, and beatings that day."
The system, with starry eyes, exclaimed: "Wow, host, your memory is amazing!"
Shen Shuan blinked innocently and said, "I'm not saying this is bad, but it's hard not to remember it, right?"
"Even in the world of online novels, this is quite an explosive phenomenon."
[But why did you say he would be infected with a Gu poison? The male protagonist clearly avoided it in the original story.]
"Just tell me if someone wants to harm him, and that's it."
"Ya Ya, don't worry about it. This guy will be taken by the Tianji Pavilion to participate in the Shengming Sect Grand Competition at the end of the year. From then on, he will be entangled with my sister like double-sided tape. And every time he is involved, the plot is always long and tedious."
"If he keeps acting like this, how can my sister improve? How can he improve?"
"If my sister doesn't improve, if he doesn't improve, if these guys don't improve, how can I improve???"
"I really want to improve! If we don't ascend in 30 years, we're doomed, duck!!!"
"Then it really will be a duck, quack quack quack."
The system was stunned for two seconds, then exclaimed: "Wow, host, that makes so much sense!"
Shen Shuan nodded in satisfaction: "That's right. Let's earn some emotional points and then leave. Tell this guy to focus on his cultivation and not go out to train all the time."
As she spoke, Shen Shuan ended her internal conversation with Ya Ya, only a few seconds had passed.
She looked at Qiao Pingsheng, whose pupils were trembling slightly, and continued, "Would you like me to recount in detail what happened to you that day?"
"Birds, toads, and... an old lady."
As Shen Shuan deliberately elongated the last word, Qiao Pingsheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was already drenched in cold sweat.
He couldn't help but recall the scene from that day.
Just as the other party said, that damned bird, that disgusting toad, and... that unreasonable old lady!
That day, he wore a white robe, and when he returned home, he was covered in filth and stench.
Normally, he would carefully change his clothes every day and mark them, but on that one day...
That one thing, though!
He looked at Shen Shu'an in front of him, and then at Xuan Yi standing beside her.
For some reason, even though these two people clearly only had the aura of ordinary people, he felt uneasy.
What should I do if I suddenly don't want to have my fortune told anymore?
