Chapter 6: Continue to accumulate martial spirits

But things are unpredictable. On the third night, the prophecy came true.

When the news came out, people were talking about it, but most people still felt that the fortune teller was just lucky and guessed right.

But what was unexpected was that Li Shimin actually fell in love with that sorcerer.

Meanwhile, on the side road outside Chang'an, Xu Luo was walking home with a proud look on his face, carrying a fortune-telling cover. His business was good today, his wallet was full, and he was naturally in a good mood.

"Haha, I'm so lucky today!" Xu Luozheng was secretly happy and his steps became lighter.

As Xu Luo was tidying up his shabby fortune-telling stall, he chuckled to himself, "If that local rich man really sends me ten strings of cash tomorrow, I'll be even closer to my little nest in Chang'an!"

As a time traveler, he doesn't have so many ambitions. He just wants to live a peaceful life with his sister and marry her off in a grand manner, which will be worthy of his parents in heaven.

He was pondering, and suddenly remembered the mysterious system, and asked casually.

"System, can you exchange your points for something good?" Before he finished speaking, the system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
[Points can be used for lottery draws, and points are consumed each time! ]

[Can also be exchanged for seeds, blueprints, farm tools, etc....]

After hearing this, Xu Luo felt a little disappointed. These daily necessities were good, but what he needed most now was a treasure that could strengthen his physique and improve his martial arts.

If one wants to exchange for a martial soul, one needs more than 500 points. The points he has now are just a drop in the bucket.

He knew very well that fortune-telling was a shortcut to earning points, but unfortunately, he had not even started to gain fame as a fortune-teller.

At this time, her younger sister Xu Ruier was busy not far away. The sunlight shone on her delicate skin, making her look particularly charming.

She gently brushed the hair by her ears, and her eyes moved, inadvertently revealing a touch of charm. Even her slender waist and long legs seemed to be silently tempting the world, making people want to protect this beauty.

Xu Luo knew very well that getting everyone to trust him unreservedly was harder than climbing to the sky.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he could reveal all the helplessness in his heart.

"Alas, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!" He shook his head in self-mockery and walked towards the village with big strides.

But just as we reached the entrance of the village, a few young men appeared staggeringly from the other end of the path.

They are well-known lazy people in the village, always daydreaming about pie in the sky.

Xu Luo recently came back from the city with money, and he always carried large and small bags in his hands, so naturally he could not escape the eyes of this group of people.

"Hey, isn't that Xu Luo?" one of the guys said sarcastically.

"Yeah, stay away from that guy, lest you get infected by his bad luck!" another echoed.

"Hey, you don't know yet? This kid has been lucky lately and made a lot of money in the city!" said the third guy with a wink.

"Look at what's in his hands. He has a lot every day!" The fourth guy licked his lips and stared greedily.

"Well, maybe he really got rich." A sly look flashed in the first guy's eyes. "We are short of money recently, maybe..."

Several people smiled at each other, but there was something malicious in their smiles. They discussed with each other, and then went their separate ways, leaving a strange atmosphere. Xu Luo pushed open the courtyard door and saw Xu Lingling still rubbing clothes over there, water splashing everywhere, and the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of soap.

"Brother, you're back?" Xu Lingling raised her head, a light flashed in her eyes, her lips curled slightly, and her smile was as warm as spring.

"Oh, my silly sister, didn't I tell you not to do these heavy work anymore!" Xu Luo walked forward, frowning and looking distressed.

He looked at the clothes Xu Lingling was rubbing in her hands. Those were not just those of her and her brother. They also included the private jobs she took on, washing clothes for others in exchange for a meager reward of a few copper coins.

"Brother can make money now, and our lives will definitely be better in the future." Xu Luo promised.

Xu Lingling just smiled gently. She had a slender neck and fair skin, which looked healthy and rosy in the sun.
"When my brother becomes capable, he still needs to save money to marry a wife. We should save as much as possible, and doing these jobs can also stretch my muscles."

As she spoke, her hair danced in the wind and her waist was soft, as if even the wind couldn't help but spin around her.

Xu Luo knew that since he was a child, Xu Lingling had been in charge of the family, doing laundry, cooking, and even making money to support the family. She was capable of doing everything. But he, apart from being able to talk, seemed to have accomplished nothing.

This guilt and love, like a fire, burned brighter and brighter in Xu Luo's heart.

Xu Luo, who traveled to this world, has long been accustomed to relying on his sister Xu Lingling.

Seeing his sister getting thinner and thinner, Xu Luo felt a warm feeling in his heart and decided to do something. He thought of the image of the brother in those funny jokes and decided to give Xu Lingling a surprise.

That day, Xu Luo took advantage of Xu Lingling being busy in the yard, quietly walked to her side, rescued her tender hands from the washing basin, and gently held them: "Lingling, let your brother wash these clothes today."

"Brother, how can we do this?" Xu Lingling was stunned and hurriedly wanted to take back the clothes, but she saw Xu Luo had already rolled up his sleeves and started washing them in an orderly manner.

"Go to the kitchen and cook what I bought. We'll have a good meal tonight!" Xu Luo said with a smile.

Xu Lingling looked at the rich food and covered her mouth in surprise: "Brother, you bought so much meat, how can we finish it?"

Xu Luo chuckled and said: "If we can't finish it, we can share it with our neighbors. Aunt Liu and Uncle Sun have helped us a lot, and now it's time for us to repay them.

I remember my parents said that if someone gives you a drop of kindness, you should repay them with a spring of gratitude.

After hearing this, Xu Lingling's eyes sparkled with emotion. She nodded slightly, a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked into the kitchen carrying the meat.

Her hair danced in the wind, her waist swayed gracefully, and every movement was filled with the warmth of home.

Xu Luo, on the other hand, found some time to relax in the busy figure of his sister. He looked at Xu Lingling and thought to himself: Having a sister like this is really a blessing from the previous life.

Normally he would wait outside the city gate before dawn, but business had been slow recently, so he decided to take a break and sleep in.

However, just after the 9th hour, the rich man Li came hurriedly, only to find that the stall was empty.

At the side, the chubby Duke Lu, Cheng Yaojin, widened his eyes, wondering if the fortune-teller had run away because he felt guilty.

It turned out that Cheng Yaojin had developed a strong interest in this kid since the incident in Ganlu Palace yesterday, so he brought Li Shimin along this morning to see what this kid was really capable of.
