Chapter 514: 514, there are drama masters everywhere in life (first update)

Yet 18 years ago, what exactly caused the turmoil in the three realms, only those involved could possibly fathom.

Listening to Chu Jin’s words, everyone’s expression turned solemn.

After all, Master Chu’s renowned reputation had spread throughout Capital City, and from the look on Yong Lingzi’s face, it was clear that Chu Jin’s words were undeniably accurate.

Mo Qingyi stared intently at Chu Jin, her eyes nearly bursting with adoration.

Her Jin was truly too handsome!

If Jin were a man, she would definitely fall madly in love with him.

Yong Lingzi’s smile faded, and for once, he turned serious. He glanced at Chu Jin, then drew the second card.

The upright: Star.

The card depicted eight stars, one large and seven small, twinkling in the night sky.

Underneath the shimmering stars was a woman in strands of fabric, her left knee resting on the ground beside a pool, her right foot dipped into the water, as she poured two pitchers of the water of life into both the pool and the land.

The water the woman poured was the same as that in the cups from Moderation, only this time, she was dispensing it into the earth and the pool rather than exchanging it between two cups.

Not far from the pool on a branch, sat a phoenix, symbolizing immortality of life.

The earth represents consciousness, water the unconscious, the phoenix spiritual transcendence, and the woman clad in strands embodies the true self.

The Star is a card of hope, signifying the fulfillment of parables and the interplay of inspiration and spirit.

Chu Jin glanced at the card and tried to carefully downplay what she said, "The most important thing is to live in the present, the disasters of the former life have all been safely overcome. As long as you let go of those past worries, the days to come will surely be smooth sailing, the latter part of your life will be safe and joyful, blessed and prosperous..."

Before Chu Jin could finish, Yong Lingzi interrupted her, "Jin girl, is that all you discern? Is there nothing else?" He looked at Chu Jin eagerly, as if waiting for a specific answer.

Chu Jin smiled and leaned slightly forward, placing her finger on the star, "Of course, do you see this star? In the West, this star is called Sirius; it brings hope to those seeking help. To the left of Sirius are three smaller stars; though their light is overshadowed by Sirius, they are still there. As long as you keep heading west, within three years, you will find the answer you seek. However, everything has its destiny, and I do not recommend forcibly changing your fate, otherwise, you will suffer the backlash of destiny."

Upon her last words, Chu Jin’s expression grew serious, looking at Yong Lingzi with utmost sincerity.

Some things were better left unsaid; as a wise man, Yong Lingzi would understand the meaning behind her words.

To gain something, one must give something in return. If Yong Lingzi were to follow his fate, the latter part of his life would indeed be joyful and peaceful. However, should he go against the natural order, he would surely pay a price - even sudden death was possible.

Although the Star is a card of hope, it also signifies destruction.

All things have a dual nature; it depends on which perspective you choose to see it from.

Yong Lingzi let out a hearty laugh, reverting to his playful old man demeanor, shaking his head, "Not accurate at all, not in the least. Jin girl, you’re just trying to scare this poor old man with talk of backlash from destiny. Sounds so mystical, but I don’t believe it! Besides, what concerns could an old man like me have? Jin girl, you’re just making things up to bamboozle me, aren’t you? But since we’ve come this far, let me draw this last card. But let’s get one thing straight – no more bamboozling me this time!"

Although Yong Lingzi expressed distrust in Chu Jin’s words, Chu Jin’s mind rang with the system’s notification, [You have gained 5% Faith Value!]

Life is full of drama kings!

And Yong Lingzi was one of them.

The onlookers were in disbelief; how could Yong Lingzi say that Chu Jin’s readings were inaccurate?

Was it really inaccurate, or did he not want others to know?

Mo Qingyi, like a little fangirl, was Chu Jin’s admirer. Hearing Yong Lingzi claim Chu Jin was wrong, she couldn’t help but be upset and stepped forward, "Elder, how could my Jin be mistaken? Isn’t it possible that you’re saying one thing but mean another?"

As Yong Lingzi flipped over the third card, he looked up at Mo Qingyi, "Look at what you’re saying, young lady. Do I look like an old man who speaks with a forked tongue?"

Mo Qingyi nodded earnestly, very sure of herself, "Yes, you look very much like one."

Yong Lingzi: "..." How are young people so sharp-tongued nowadays, leaving him, an old man, at a loss for words?

Hearing this, Chu Jin spoke up with a light smile towards Mo Qingyi, "The study of divination is enigmatic, it’s not to be entirely believed, nor completely rejected. Even the wise Zhuge Liang had his miscalculations, let alone a mortal like me. Since the elder here says the prediction is inaccurate, then it is so."

With this, Chu Jin gave Yong Lingzi an out, as he harbored secrets that she could not disclose to the world.

Having said this, Mo Qingyi had no more to say, but she cast a forlorn glance at Yong Lingzi.

The others looked on, puzzlingly, not understanding the riddle Chu Jin and Yong Lingzi shared.

Only Tong Zhi, looking at Chu Jin, had a fleeting spark of understanding in her eyes.

The third card that Yong Lingzi drew was the reversed Ten of Swords.

On the card, a figure lay face down on the ground, with ten swords stabbed into the back and neck. The sky was pitch black, with only a faint hint of light in the distance, symbolizing sunrise.

Beside it, a pond was utterly still, as motionless as dead water or a glass surface, and there was not a soul around.

This was a very ominous card.

Whether upright or reversed, it spells disaster.

It created a stark contrast to the previously drawn upright Star.

Chu Jin frowned slightly, it seemed that Yongsongzi had already made up his mind. However, once he took that step, there would be no turning back.

"Senior, you may not believe what I’m about to say, but you may face a bloody disaster today, so I suggest you don’t go out," Chu Jin paused briefly before continuing, "Also, do not travel west within the next three years; otherwise, the person on this card will be your fate!"

Her tone was cold, her face devoid of any joking manner.

It is said that a person is most captivating when they are focused on doing something, and also the most pleasing to the eye.

This description was perfectly apt for Chu Jin at the moment. She stood there, her clear and distinct face devoid of excess emotion, her black and white dress subtly highlighting her ethereal quality, making her a sight to remember.

Yongsongzi followed Chu Jin’s finger to the Tarot card, where he saw that the man on the card was lying on the ground, his body pierced by numerous swords, devoid of any signs of life, clearly a dead man.

Suddenly, a twitch appeared at Yongsongzi’s brow before he immediately returned to a normal expression, laughing, "Jin girl, you’re joking with this old man again, talking about bloody disasters? I don’t believe it! Alright, alright, enough playing with you, I have things to do, I have to slip away. I’ll come to find you in a few days, and you mustn’t secretly accept anyone else as your master in the meantime!"

Chu Jin had just opened her mouth to say something when Yongsongzi ran out the door like smoke, his speed so fast as if ten hungry wolves were chasing after him.

Immediately after, a loud ’bang’ echoed through the air, followed by a painful cry of "Ouch."

From the commotion, it was clear that the person outside had taken quite a fall.

Upon hearing this, several people hurriedly walked outside.

There, they saw Yongsongzi getting up from the ground. Blood was seeping from his forehead, and under his feet was a banana peel. He hadn’t steadied himself yet when his body suddenly pitched forward, about to fall to the ground once more.

Tong Zhi immediately dashed forward, swiftly catching him, "Senior, be careful!" Yet, she wondered how a banana peel could bring such a predicament to Yongsongzi? Where was his Spiritual Power?

Yongsongzi picked up the banana peel and glared fiercely, "Who’s the little rascal behind this? It’s just too uncivilized, tossing banana peels on the ground! Don’t they know they should take care of the environment? Ouch, my head hurts so bad! If I find out who threw this, I won’t let them off! I’ll beat them so badly they won’t even recognize their mother!"

As Yongsongzi held the evidence in one hand and felt the wetness on his forehead with the other, he saw his finger stained with fresh blood and remembered Chu Jin’s warning about a bloody disaster, his face going a bit pale.

Yongsongzi possessed a special ability, his body harbored an immense Spiritual Power, and there were few in the Three Realms who could match him. That a mere banana peel could cause him to fall and even bleed, was simply inconceivable! Moreover, as a powerful being, he had forgotten how many years it had been since he last bled. Today’s sudden bleeding was something his heart still struggled to come to terms with.

Furthermore, with the high walls and well-guarded premises of the Mo family, how could a banana peel end up there so easily?

All of this was but to validate Chu Jin’s words.

If he persisted in defying the heavens, his end would not be a good one.

Those present observed Yongsongzi with varying expressions on their faces.

None had expected Chu Jin’s words to come true so quickly, and her abilities gained further recognition, especially in the eyes of Tong Zhi, who looked at Chu Jin with a shimmer in her gaze.

Chu Jin walked up to Yongsongzi and spoke softly, "Senior, I know a bit about medicine. Let me bandage that for you."

"It’s a minor wound, no big deal," Yongsongzi stepped back, "I must be going." With that, he took the banana peel and ran off.

Chu Jin shouted at his retreating figure, "Senior, remember not to travel west by any means!"

Yongsongzi did not respond, and it was unclear whether he had heard or not.

Mrs. Mo chuckled lightly, remarking, "After so many years, still such a child at heart! Jin, you don’t need to worry. Despite Yongsongzi’s playful demeanor, he knows what he’s doing."

Given her remarks, Mrs. Mo must have known Yongsongzi for a long time.

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Yes, I understand. It’s just that he seems unable to let go of the knot in his heart. If this goes on for too long, I’m afraid it will lead to trouble."

Mrs. Mo sighed and then said, "Jin, you must take good care of the Jade Pendant he gave you. Don’t just leave it anywhere; it’s not an ordinary item."

Chu Jin smiled faintly, "Yes, rest assured, I will take good care of it." She naturally knew the Jade Pendant was no ordinary object, but what intrigued her was why Yongsongzi had given it to her.

Perhaps he simply wished to give it to the one who could unravel the game of life and death.

Among the three Tarot cards he drew, Chu Jin saw Guard, Wait, and Faith.

So what was he waiting for? What was he guarding? What was his faith? And was it related to this Jade Pendant?

Suddenly, Chu Jin felt a headache emerging, as if she had forgotten something crucial all at once.

Mo Qingyi walked over, linking arms with Chu Jin while gesturing excitedly, "Chu Jin, you looked so cool when you were doing the fortune-telling! Can you teach me some time? Oh, and where did you buy those Tarot cards? I want to get a set too!"

Enthralled by the mystique and coolness of Tarot cards, Mo Qingyi was now utterly captivated.

Chu Jin snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at Mo Qingyi, "You want to learn, too?"

Mo Qingyi nodded eagerly, "Yes, definitely!"

Chu Jin shook her head slightly and sighed, "You... your intelligence is worrisome! It might be a bit difficult for you to learn."

Mo Qingyi was persistent, hounding Chu Jin to teach her hand by hand.

Off to the side, Mo Zhixuan touched his nose and chuckled; he seemed to have become the redundant one.

Suddenly, he found his sister quite an eyesore. No, it was this troublemaker that was an eyesore!
