Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Why did I incur the wrath of heaven?

Xia Bowen thought of something and turned to look at Xia Liying, who was wiping tears beside him.

Only his daughter truly worried about his health.

Xia Bowen moderated his voice, "The policies of the past are different from now. Back then, when your grades were poor, you went to college on a recommendation and were assigned a job you liked. But in the future, when everyone enters university based on their own academic performance, those with just a junior high school education or even less will definitely face discrimination. So, focus on your studies and aim for a graduate degree. This way, no one will question your diploma."

Xia Liying’s eyes widened, and just as she was about to say something, Xia Ming quickly stood up and said, "Dad, we’re sorry, we were too narrow-minded. Don’t worry, we won’t oppose Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan."

Xia Bowen’s lips twitched, it’s not that I look down on you.

None of you four could outplay Xia Xindong, let alone Song Yunuan.

At this moment, Song Yunuan was stopped by an ordinary-looking old woman.

Just from her peculiar scrutinizing gaze, Song Yunuan guessed she must be the fortune-teller for Lin Qing.

She stared intently at Song Yunuan, and Song Yunuan stared back just as hard.

Song Yunuan’s gaze was so clear that it made the old woman’s eyes dart away for a moment.

Song Yunuan was on a treelined road, originally heading to the nearby park to pick up Asheng and Yingying.

But she was suddenly stopped by an old woman.

Song Yunuan looked left and right and spotted a figure unconvincingly hiding behind a large tree, it was Shangguan Wan.

And the temperament of this old woman in front of her, she must have come from Xiangjiang.

Seeing the woman’s evasive gaze, Song Yunuan was about to walk around her.

Then she heard the woman say in a voice neither loud nor low, "Song Yunuan, wait a second."

Song Yunuan stopped in her tracks.

Ah, she came prepared.

"Why are you calling me, oh right, how do you know my name? I don’t even recognize you. Could it be that you’re a fortune-teller? That’s pretty impressive."

Second Aunt Zhang clenched her hands.

She was shocked to her core.

This young lady’s facial features were truly extraordinary.

Did she possibly have the light of merit surrounding her?

What kind of lonely ghost could possess such a light of merit?

To read the fortune of such a person was akin to courting death.

But to say nothing at all would mean altering the fates of even more people.

Moreover, even without casting her own fortune, she knew hers would change.

And it was changing for the worse.

Second Aunt Zhang, "Song Yunuan, let’s not beat around the bush... "

Before she could continue, Song Yunuan bluntly interrupted her, "Since you know not to beat around the bush, you must be an honest person. Turnabout is fair play, so I should know your name, right?"

Second Aunt Zhang paused, then reluctantly said, "I’m called Second Aunt Zhang."

"You sound like a born and bred Beidu local, why did you go to Xiangjiang?

You must have gone in the past few years?

At your age, you wouldn’t be one of those sent-down ’educated youth’. Did you go to stay with relatives, or are you fleeing something you did here?"

Second Aunt Zhang’s complexion changed instantly.

She really experienced the sharp tongue of Song Yunuan.

"I’m a fortune-teller. Don’t worry, I won’t bring any blood debts upon myself, and you don’t need to scare me."

"I’m just casually chatting with you, old lady, why so sensitive?"

Besides, it’s not only those who murder with their own hands that incur blood debts.

Unintentional mistakes can kill people too.

I heard of an incident in a village where a pretty young woman was slandered by a group of shameless old women and some despicable men.

They claimed she did this and that, giving every detail, when in reality she had done nothing wrong. In the end, they drove her to jump into a river and commit suicide.

She died to prove her innocence, but that wasn’t enough, those vile old women even said she committed suicide out of guilt."

"Do you think murder can only be committed with a knife?"

Second Aunt Zhang considered herself to be very self-disciplined, with her cultivation skills also perfected.

However, at that moment, she was somewhat driven crazy and had to forcefully clench her fists.

"Stop talking about these things; I don’t have any, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be any of your business.

Song Yunuan, the reason I stopped you is to warn you. Don’t think that just because you have the ability to foresee things, you can dismiss everything. You should know that ’heaven’s net is wide, but it lets nothing through’. Anyone who incurs the wrath of the heavens will eventually have their comeuppance."

Song Yunuan gave a snort of laughter, then said seriously, "Firstly, I didn’t kill anyone, secondly, I didn’t start any fires, I didn’t force anyone to jump into a river, and I definitely didn’t stop some girl to spew nonsense predictions.

So, why would I have incurred the wrath of the heavens?

Though I’m young, I wasn’t raised in fear."

Second Aunt Zhang’s face reddened with anger.

She had never seen such a troublesome young girl, incredibly difficult to deal with.

But this kind of troublesome didn’t annoy people; instead, it made people wary of her.

"...Don’t change the subject, Song Yunuan. You’re nothing but a lost soul, a wandering spirit. With just a little bit of power, you arbitrarily change the fates of others. Do you know what serious consequences such meddling can lead to?"

Song Yunuan smiled and said, "Will the world end, or will you transform from an old lady into an old man?"

Second Aunt Zhang’s mouth twitched. Can’t they have a serious conversation?

Is she trying to anger me to death?

When she did fortune-telling, even the big shots had to kneel on the mats, their hands pressed together, looking at her eagerly, with not a single person daring to make a sound in her presence.

Second Aunt Zhang’s voice turned cold: "Don’t be so arrogant. What if your family were to know that you’re not the real Song Yunuan, but a lost soul, a wandering spirit from who knows where? Do you think they would treat you the same as they do now?

You’re occupying their daughter’s body. Even if you bring them benefits, you aren’t their daughter.

The more they dote on you now, the more they will loathe you once they know the truth. They would wish they could burn you alive."

Song Yunuan blinked, "What you’re saying is quite scary. But you’re wrong, you know. Are there really wandering spirits as awesome as me in this world?

And besides, your predictions are off. Think deeper, oh, I should say, calculate more carefully. Leave aside this concept of me being a wandering spirit. You can broaden your imagination and expand your thoughts."

Second Aunt Zhang’s face shook uncontrollably.

Song Yunuan: "Randomly pinning crimes on me based on your imagination and trying to drive a wedge between my family and me; why didn’t you just go directly to Erdao River?

Clearly, there’s no benefit for you in doing this, so why veer off a good path and deliberately step in excrement?

So why exactly are you talking to me today?

Did you predict some irreversible change in your fate?

Have you ever thought about this: If you hadn’t stopped me today, you might not face any change at all.

But you went wrong by stopping me. Think about this: it’s like walking down a road when suddenly, there’s a fork.

The path on the right is if you hadn’t come to find me, and you would have continued along your original trajectory.

But you did come to find me, and you’ve interacted with me, and we’ve had this conversation today.

Thus, you’ve set foot on a completely different path from the original, and your life is bound to change."

Second Aunt Zhang looked at Song Yunuan incredulously, her mouth opening, but before she could speak, Song Yunuan continued blabbering on.

"Maybe you don’t understand because this is a scientific hypothesis, not metaphysics like yours.

But let’s talk metaphysics.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Do you believe a person who dies wronged will return for revenge at all costs?"

Song Yunuan’s voice was haunting as she stared intently at Second Aunt Zhang: "If you can’t figure it out, I can give you a hint.

For instance, do you think this world is real?

Could it be just a book written by someone?

And you, Second Aunt Zhang, are nothing more than a minor character in that book..."

In the end, Second Aunt Zhang was so rattled by Song Yunuan’s words that she staggered away as if fleeing.

Second Aunt Zhang felt that if she listened to Song Yunuan spout more nonsense, she would go mad!!!
