Chapter 124 Forget Him, Then You Can't Count Me In

"Miss Xu, did you really calculate the evacuation of the Shifang Sect?"

As soon as he finished asking this question, he realized that he was speechless, and quickly added: "What I mean is... doesn't fortune-telling require fortune-telling on a person, or using birth dates and horoscopes? Can you know some things about the outside world just by doing this?"

It can be heard that Feng Yan's attitude towards Xu Shanshan's words changed from doubt in the beginning to half-belief and half-doubt now.

Although he had seen that she possessed some extraordinary means, he could not be blinded by this and think that she was omnipotent.

Xu Shanshan met his eyes. Her eyelashes were long and thick, shading her bright and deep eyes, but Feng Yan didn't dare to look her too closely.

He always felt that this pair of beautiful and mysterious eyes gave him a feeling of being in an abyss, deep and terrifyingly unknown.

"How much do you know about fortune-telling?" she asked in a calm voice.

Feng Yan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He answered that he knew nothing, and he felt ashamed.
The answer was that he had some understanding of it, but in fact he had only seen those blind fortune tellers on the street with a flag in his right hand and a cloth bag on his shoulder, and the Feng Shui masters who held a compass and talked about mysterious things.

He doesn't believe in metaphysics such as fortune-telling and divination.

The things these people calculate are ambiguous, and most of them use rhetoric to cheat others of their money. There are very few people who are truly capable.

Even if there are any, they have been kept in captivity by the powerful and wealthy and are serving them full-time.

As far as he knew, there was a very powerful Heavenly Master in the Shifang Sect, and there were also many capable Yin-Yang masters in the black market, but he had never actually dealt with these people, so he didn't know their authenticity.

He felt a kind of pressure rising from her, just from being stared at by her neither lightly nor heavily.

He suddenly cupped his hands and said, "It was Feng Yan who was rude and offended Miss Xu with his words."

Feng Yan's sudden change of attitude made others a little confused.

Aren't you still questioning how she calculated it?
Why did he suddenly become timid and take the initiative to admit his mistake to her just because she asked him a question?

Chunsheng was stunned.

She didn't understand what they were talking about, but she felt that "Xu Shanshan" asked the question quite kindly. Feng Yan seemed to be threatened and began to lower his head and retreat.

But Li Niaoniao understood Feng Yan's mentality at the moment. Who could dare to be so arrogant and proud when her sister Shanshan was staring at him?

Yes, but the ending of this kind of people is never very good.

"Sister Shanshan, we don't really understand how profound your sect is. But Brother Feng probably wants to ask if there's some trick behind the departure of the Shifang Sect. If they set it up on purpose, wouldn't we be walking into a trap if we rush out rashly?" Li Niaoniao hurried out to smooth things over.

Feng Yan glanced at Li Niao Niao and nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what Feng meant."

Xu Shanshan smiled and said, "Do you have to have a fortune-telling ceremony to make you believe what I said is true?"

When Feng Yan heard this, his heart moved, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to confront her. The other party was too powerful, and he knew he was no match for her.

But a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. After being stunned for a moment, Li Niaoniao's round eyes burst into light: "Sister Shanshan, I want to see how you tell people's fortunes."

The calculation must be extremely accurate and convincing.

Hearing her say this, Chunsheng looked over curiously, wanting to see what she was up to.

"Does she know fortune-telling? Who would believe it?" Chunsheng muttered in a low voice.

Nangong Yu, who had been silent for the past two days, finally spoke up. He asked her, "Xu Shanshan, when you read my fortune, you said that I was destined to be lonely, poor, and have a bad end. Do you really mean that?"

Xu Shanshan glanced at his face. He was rich and had the help of his friends. He was a high-ranking official and was wealthy. However, he was a noble man. Great wealth depended on fate, and small wealth came from frugality. He seemed to have a stable life in his later years.

However, she also saw some strange and secret things in it, which caused his face to appear to be in a two-phase Tai Chi situation, one side was yin and the other side was yang, and he was eventually annihilated by the crowd.

She shook her head and said, "Don't take it seriously."

Nangong Yu didn't expect that she would admit it in public, and look so calm and genuine.

But the more she did this, the more he felt she was hypocritical and artificial. She was clearly a vicious "scorpion", but she insisted on disguising herself as a "crane" that was detached from the world.

A trace of sneer and ridicule appeared on his face, and his pale lips trembled as he said, "Don't you take it seriously? Isn't everything I've endured over the years a response to your original criticism?"

His words made Li Niaoniao and others silent.

According to what he revealed to Chunsheng, all the suffering they experienced was caused by "Xu Shanshan".

And if her prediction was that this was not his original fate, and that everything was caused by her framing and persecution, then didn't her words at the beginning foreshadow that she was determined to kill him?

"Since you have doubts about me, why don't you judge for yourself whether my calculations are accurate or not?"

Xu Shanshan walked towards him, and an invisible airflow from her body covered Nangong Yu, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

And his body instinctively responded as she gradually approached.

The faint sound of footsteps was like the devil's whisper, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably. He broke out in a cold sweat, and fear and disgust raged in his heart at the same time. His stomach was churning, forcing him to cover his mouth and turn his head away.

Seeing that his disgust and rejection of her had reached the point of physical nausea, Xu Shanshan did not move closer to him.

"Don't come over here again!"

Chunshan was the person who knew Nangong Yu best. She stretched out her arms to block Nangong Yu, like a powerless but still fierce domestic dog driving away jackals.

Xu Shanshan looked at him calmly and said, "I will calculate your fortune again. This time I won't charge you anything. I will just consider it as a way to pay you back for my mistake."

Chunyu and Nangongyu looked disdainful and annoyed when they heard this.

"Do you think I will believe you again?" Nangong Yu looked at her gloomily.

Xu Shanshan stretched out a palm, and five little paper figures popped out on the ground. Their flat bodies "stood" tremblingly on the ground.

This scene left them all stunned.

Li Niaoniao moved closer in surprise and saw that the human figure cut out of white paper had a head and limbs. Although it had no eyes or mouth, it could imitate human movements.

So magical, so magical.

"Do you want to find your relatives?" She had an ambiguous smile on her lips. Nangong Yu's nerves jumped when he heard the word "relatives". He withdrew his puzzled and dull eyes from the paper mannequin and whispered angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Shanshan stared at the five little paper figures. Two of them walked out. They stood in a row and moved their hands and feet: "You still have brothers and sisters alive, and they are all in Heqi City."

Chunsheng opened her mouth wide when she heard this, but soon she understood again: "Don't try to deceive the young master. The young master's relatives died ten years ago. You are using other people's pain as a bargaining chip, Xu Shanshan, are you very proud?"

Nangong Yu was still a little dazed, but when he was awakened by Chunsheng's words, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Xu Shanshan controlled another little man to come out. It walked in front of Nangong Yu. It was obviously just a paper man, but it was very smart. It turned in a circle, and its silly look immediately attracted Nangong Yu's attention.

"You were born at the hour of Chou when the cock crows. You are the third child in the family. You have two older brothers, but the second one died when you were three years old. The fourth and youngest sister was born the following year."

Nangong Yu listened quietly; these words did not cause much reaction in him.

Firstly, he had told this story as a clue to many benefactors, just for the sake of keeping a glimmer of hope that he could find his lost relatives and look forward to being reunited with them one day.

Unfortunately, the news that was finally fed back was that his relatives did not escape and died in the flood.

Therefore, his background was not a very secretive matter, and it was not surprising that she knew it.

Seeing his indifferent look, Feng Yan and Li Niaoniao couldn't tell whether Xu Shanshan was right or not, but he didn't refute... so he must be right, right?

"Your eldest brother was born with lung disease, often coughing and wheezing, unable to work normally. Your youngest sister has a strange face and one of her eyes is sick. Your mother has been bedridden for many years. Your father has a crippled left leg. You are the only child in the family with a healthy face and body. You have been a boy and a girl since you were young, with a beautiful face. You are also the most favored in the family..."

She continued.

This time, after she finished speaking, Nangong Yu's expression finally changed.

He looked up at her and almost blurted out "How did you know?"

If she had deduced the previous things from what she had learned from him, he was sure that he had not revealed the latter things to anyone.

What she said... was even clearer than the characters in his memory. He did remember some obvious features, but some things had been gradually forgotten.

This time, by observing Nangong Yu's expression and movements, they came to a definite answer - he was completely right!

At this time, Feng Yan and Li Niaoniao were excited and excited, as if a magical color was suddenly injected into their dull life, making them unable to help but immerse themselves in this "fortune telling".

"When you were seven years old, your family suffered a great change. Your sick mother was washed away by the flood while trying to save you, and your father died under a boulder while running. You and your older brother and younger sister were separated in the chaos, and you ended up escaping to a foreign land alone."

While she was telling the story, she also asked the little paper man to "perform a show" for Nangong Yu.

He saw a small paper man suddenly "floating" up, using its hands and feet, and it seemed to be submerged in water and finally disappeared.

This is his "mother".

Another little paper man started running, and suddenly seemed to be hit by a heavy object, breaking his waist into two pieces and turning into ashes, which represented "death".

Of the five little paper figures, only three are left now.

Nangong Yu felt as if he was standing on the edge of an abyss. The cold wind whistled past him, and the chill penetrated his bones straight to his bones, making him shudder.

He was clearly looking at a small paper figure, but at a certain moment, he seemed to really "see" scenes that had actually happened in the past.

Not only him, almost everyone present felt the same.

…It was clearly a serious fortune-telling, so why did they suddenly feel a chill down their spines?

"You are good-looking, but you have been looked at in all kinds of strange ways along the way. You cannot survive by relying on your knowledge, strength, and skills. Later, in order to survive, you sold yourself to Baihualou as a prostitute. During this time, you..."

As she told the story, the little paper figure representing "Nangong Yu" gradually took on colors. It turned green, representing his healthy growth; it turned red, representing his growth; it turned black, representing his sadness...

When she told him about his past in detail, Nangong Yu could no longer sit still and stood up, saying in an unsteady voice, "How long have you been investigating these things in secret?"

Are you sure about it again?

There is not a single mistake in such a long description?

He accepted them all?!
Feng Yan, Li Niaoniao and Chunsheng probably felt the same way as Nangong Yu at this moment.

It was like being shrouded in darkness, and every thought seemed to be grabbed by ghostly tentacles and exposed to the public. The panic that every thought and every secret could not be hidden spread rapidly like a plague.

At this moment, they no longer had the excitement and eagerness to try as they had at the beginning. All they felt was the uneasiness, panic and fear that having Xu Shanshan tell their fortunes was equivalent to exposing themselves naked in front of everyone.

It’s really scary to think about it.

In this world, as long as she wants, is there anything that can be hidden from her?
Xu Shanshan knew that Nangong Yu was just holding on and refusing to admit it, but she would make him submit with this breath.

"Nangong Yu, you have experienced three tribulations before, namely, life tribulation, luck tribulation and love tribulation, all of which have already happened to you. But if I say that you have suffered these three tribulations for others, can you believe it?"

"What do you mean by life or love disaster? What do you mean by I have to suffer for others?" Nangong Yu blurted out.

Seeing that he followed her words to raise questions, Xu Shanshan knew that he had believed it for the most part.

"Is your youngest sister ugly and blind in one eye since childhood?" she asked him.

Nangong Yu was stunned. Her youngest sister indeed had a large black spot on her face since she was born, occupying half of her face, and the vision of one of her eyes was blurred.

Their family thought of many ways, but an old Taoist priest who passed by claimed that his youngest sister had a face that was born evil and needed to be made ugly and blind to suppress the evil. If the evil was eliminated, it might bring disaster to the whole family.

The family certainly didn't believe this, but they really couldn't find a way to cure the black spots on the youngest sister's face and the diseased eye.

Nangong Yu asked: "So what?"

"She has learned a sorcery that can take lives, change fortunes, and turn disasters around. She has cured her chronic illnesses one by one, and you are the ones who bear all her fate."

"Don't talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong!" Nangong Yu could no longer bear it. He said in disbelief, "How dare you put your fault on a child who is only seven or eight years old?"

Xu Shanshan didn't rush him to believe it. She just said, "If you don't believe it, wait until you find her in Heqi City and see how she changes after she sacrifices your family, and then you will know the truth."

Nangong Yu bit his lower lip hard, his eyes filled with ink-like color.

He didn't believe her slander against the youngest sister, but paradoxically, he hoped that what she said about his elder brother and youngest sister being still alive was true.
