Chapter 334: Chapter 193 Ye’s Identity_2

Speaking, the fortune-telling Taoist wrote a talisman and handed it to the woman,

"This talisman is the ’Kirin Child-Delivery Talisman,’ infused with nature’s spiritual energy. You must devoutly place it in the auspicious area of your home. On every full moon night, with pure water and a pure heart, silently pray and make your wish. Remember, sincerity breeds miracles, accumulate good deeds, and blessings will naturally come. When the time comes, offspring will prosper, and your family and business will flourish."

The woman was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him. She took out several silver taels from her exquisitely embroidered purse, carefully holding the talisman and cheerfully departed.

The fortune-telling Taoist looked at the woman in front of him, Li Guanshi, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if this lady is here for a marriage reading, or..."

"To see my palmistry, to figure out who my first man will be."

Li Guanshi elegantly sat on the stool, stretching out a hand as delicate and fair as jade, reaching towards the fortune-telling Taoist with a smile that was not quite a smile playing on her lips, her gaze twinkling with amusement.

The formerly oil-greasing Taoist was now sitting upright and proper, and sheepishly admitted, "The Taoist is not adept at reading palms."

"If you can’t read palms, then how do you tell fortunes?"

"Of course, by deceiving people."

The fortune-telling Taoist stroked his beard, looking proud.

Li Guanshi recalled what Jiang Shouzhong had said earlier and nodded slightly, "Indeed, in this world, only a deceiver is truly sincere, as they wholeheartedly deceive you."

The fortune-telling Taoist was taken aback, then extended his thumb in admiration, "Truly deserving of being the foremost person in discerning minds and certifying the Dao, these words are deeply thought-provoking."

Li Guanshi’s palm gently turned, and a tea leaf appeared on the table.

"Predict this."

"Predict what?"

The fortune-telling Taoist was utterly confused.

Li Guanshi said, "A man’s likelihood of engaging in Dual Cultivation with me."

"Who is it?"

"You guess."

Li Guanshi nonchalantly picked up a worn turtle shell and said lightly, "If you cannot predict it, there’s no need for you, Zhuge Xuanji, to trick people here. I will personally send you off to your ancestors."

The fortune-telling Taoist sat up straight again, his eyes focused as deep as pools or mountains, intently staring at the tea leaf, his expression grave.

As if within the intricate patterns of that tiny leaf, the trajectory of fate could be glimpsed, and the secrets of heaven revealed.

After a long while, he raised his head to look at Li Guanshi and said, "There is a glimmer of hope, but there is not enough time. Give him another ten years... maybe he could engage in Dual Cultivation with you. However, whether this man can live another ten years is another matter. He feels like he’s on the brink of death."

"That’s truly a pity."

Li Guanshi’s demeanor was calm and untroubled, but inwardly she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Her concern arose because she had noticed that her karmic tie with Jiang Mo was somewhat peculiar.

For cultivators standing on higher ground, they pay particular attention to karmic entanglements, and the Karma Severing Skill of the South Sea Holy Sect is a secret technique that every cultivator must learn on their path, used to sever karmic ties at will.

Although she could easily sever her karmic tie with Jiang Mo, the tie felt unusually tight.

This was very rare.

Li Guanshi feared that this was a trap set by her disciple, Ye Zhuchan.

After all, it was sensing Ye Zhuchan’s life-bound flying sword that she had gone to the Capital, where she crossed paths with Jiang Mo...

Regarding this disciple of hers who was naturally very cunning, her feelings as a master were complicated: she both detested and adored her, wished for her death and for her to live.

Zhuge Xuanji asked, "Haven’t found anyone suitable yet?"

"You predict."

Li Guanshi smiled beautifully, captivatingly.

Zhuge Xuanji hastily repeated "beauty leads to error" to himself and looked away.

"All right, continue tricking people here," said Li Guanshi as she casually tossed three copper coins to him and stood up. "Consider this payment for your services, so no one can say I’m stingy whenever I come to you for a reading."

"Taoist Li is truly generous, thank you," Zhuge Xuanji put on a grateful facade while inwardly cursing and thanking.

As he watched Li Guanshi walking away, Zhuge Xuanji casually threw the three copper coins he held, laid them out in a line, and furrowed his brow.

"Interesting," Zhuge Xuanji muttered to himself, stroking his chin, "Could it be she really found her fated one?"

After a while, a shadow loomed over.

Zhuge Xuanji, never looking up, fixated on the three copper coins and asked, "Looking for a marriage reading, or fortune predictions, or perhaps a feng shui consultation?"

"You’ve been avoiding me for a year now, have you finally stopped running?"

The woman’s voice was cold.

Zhuge Xuanji stiffened, glancing up at the woman in front of him dressed in a black robe, wearing a bird-shaped mask, and forced a smile,

"I’m telling you, girl, you look quite ridiculous in that getup in broad daylight. What’s more, you show up right after Taoist Li leaves. Don’t you know she has been looking for you?"

The woman was none other than Yeying.

Yeying sat down on the stool, glaring straight at him, "I’m asking you, is the ’Phoenix’ Ye Zhuchan?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhuge Xuanji frowned.

Yeying chuckled coldly, "Keep pretending. Back in the Sky Shadow Organization, ’Phoenix’ made a deal with me to save someone in Anhe Village. But I only recently discovered that ’Phoenix’ deceived someone to obtain the ’Water Moon Dream Mirror.’ To place the Water Moon Dream Mirror, one must be close to the person..."

"Why do you, a girl, meddle in such affairs?" Zhuge Xuanji complained, "As your master, I’ve warned you many times, keep out of trouble, take on fewer tasks. The more karma you entangle with, the worse it is for your future cultivation."

"So, ’Phoenix’ is indeed Ye Zhuchan, right?" Yeying pressed.

Zhuge Xuanji reluctantly nodded, "That’s right."

Yeying clenched her fists tightly.

Now she was completely sure, the Water Moon Dream Mirror on Jiang Shouzhong was placed by Ye Zhuchan!

What exactly was Ye Zhuchan up to?

And judging from Jiang Shouzhong’s attitude, it seemed that Ye Zhuchan treated him quite well regularly. Why then would she harm him?
