The woman’s voice was ethereal and fleeting; listening closely, one could hardly make it out clearly.
Following the sound, a woman's figure was faintly visible.
Ying Bing’s delicate brows moved slightly, her expression as calm as ever.
She had once believed that destiny was in her own hands.
However, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there truly existed marvelous and profound divination arts.
Therefore, she merely held the belief that if you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't.
Li Mo looked at the woman's figure not far away, his heart stirring.
He wasn't particularly interested in fortune-telling.
After all, he already possessed the Tianming Divine Eye, but it couldn't discern his own destiny.
Mainly, after the incident with Senior Brother Ouyang, it was hard for him not to be wary.
Anyway, this place was very close to Sword City...
Princess Xiao Jiang's greyish-white eyes blinked, seemingly thinking of something, her delicate little ears turning slightly red.
Marriage should...
It could also be divined, right?
“Want to go take a look?”
Li Mo asked.
Ice Cube was noncommittal, while Jiang Chulong nodded expectantly.
The three walked into the pavilion.
Only then did they realize that the so-called fortune-teller was indeed a young woman.
Her clothes were ancient yet exquisite, and her appearance was not exceptionally beautiful, but rather above average, with only her eyes being remarkably profound.
Aside from a banner that read 'Immortal Guides the Way', all other fortune-telling paraphernalia were complete.
“Young Lady, you are quite different from the fortune-teller I imagined.”
Li Mo sat on a folding stool.
“Mortals who pry into heavenly secrets indeed cannot escape the five defects and three shortages.”
The woman smiled faintly, yet did not refute.
She did not look at Ying Bing or Jiang Chulong, but instead looked directly at Li Mo, a fleeting obscurity in her eyes that quickly faded.
“Palmistry, physiognomy, birth characters, Young Master, what would you like to have divined?”
“Palmistry, I suppose.”
Li Mo casually extended his hand.
The woman nodded slightly, took his palm, and lowered her gaze to examine it.
At this moment.
The light of Li Mo’s Tianming Divine Eye flashed and disappeared.
【Name: Tian Miao】
【Age: 21】
【Bone Structure: Heluo Qi Body.】
【Realm: Guan Shen Nine Heavens.】
【Tianming: Golden Gray】
【Evaluation: The current Yantian Sect's traveling disciple, third on the Qianlong Ranking, a Prodigy cultivating the 'Tianyan Divine Scroll', yet her entire Realm is derived from 'Tianming'.】
【Recent Encounter: Under the command of the current Yantian Sect Master, descended the mountain to find the 'Yinghuo' disturbing the heavenly secrets, dares not use Tianji pupil techniques freely anymore, therefore borrowed a fortune-teller's stall this morning, planning to return it later.】
Yinghuo?
Yantian Sect's traveling disciple?
Li Mo was momentarily stunned; this woman actually had such a background.
He couldn't see his own fate.
Could the other party glimpse a bit of it?
“Your lines are not deep but chaotic; your fate should be plagued by many illnesses and disasters.”
“From your heaven, earth, and human lines, it seems you were born into a well-off family, but your wealth is insufficient, and you are unlikely to have a good end...”
Listening to her speak.
Li Mo looked at his System space, his emotions quite stable.
What she divined didn't seem very accurate.
“This person...”
Ying Bing’s eyes moved slightly, as if recognizing the woman.
What the other party said coincided with what she had seen in her previous life.
But in this life, it was poles apart.
“Ah?”
Jiang Chulong was instantly startled, exclaiming anxiously:
“This... how could it... how could it be like this?”
The woman shook her head slightly, her gaze towards Jiang Chulong seeming gentle, and then she said:
“I only learned this physiognomy art this morning, so it may not be accurate.”
“How about... I examine your face, Young Master?”
Li Mo: “...”
A Yantian Sect's traveling disciple, newly learned physiognomy, how novel.
Oh, and the fortune-telling gear was all borrowed from another fortune-teller ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) this morning, so never mind.
“Then let's take another look.”
“Alright.”
The woman leaned in a little closer and began examining his face.
“Your forehead is full but not abundant; it is a sign of having fortune but no fate...”
She said several more things.
None of them were particularly pleasant to hear.
Halfway through, she herself stopped, her face full of oddity.
“Do I have no good points?”
“You do.”
“That’s good... In what aspects am I better?”
“You bring prosperity to your wife.”
“.....”
Xiao Li fell into contemplation.
Is it that niche?
Ying Bing: “?”
Do you even hear what you're saying?
Jiang Chulong: “!!!”
Li Dage indeed... indeed is a whatchamacallit... a Treasure Trove boy?
This was the adjective her teacher taught her, and she wasn't sure if it was appropriate...
“Are you sure you didn’t misread it?”
Li Mo was momentarily speechless.
He even wanted to ask if she had read the physiognomy book backward.
The woman shook her head and said, “Indeed, that's all I saw on you.”
After a pause, she added:
“You don't just bring prosperity; you bring extraordinary prosperity.”
“How prosperous?”
“Marrying you, one could consider waiting a few years for imperial ascension.”
“.....Is that reasonable?”
Li Mo was amused and exasperated.
The woman nodded: “It must be that my skills are not refined; I won't charge you.”
At this moment.
The morning bell of Hengyun Sword City rang.
Li Mo got up, but still pulled out a silver note.
Then the three walked back into the misty rain.
“Li Dage... so amazing.”
“Imperial ascension is amazing?”
“Yes... Only Imperial Father could... could...”
As Jiang Chulong spoke, she seemed to recall something sad, her voice growing softer and softer.
Li Mo thought for a moment and said:
“Chu Long, with big fish and big meat every day, the one with imperial ascension isn't necessarily an emperor.”
“Ah? Really?”
Li Mo's few words cheered up Princess Xiao Jiang, who had a very low threshold for laughter, turning her cloudy mood to sunny.
Looking at the young man who was talking fluently, spouting nonsense like a stand-up comedian.
Ying Bing lowered her eyes slightly:
“Brings prosperity to his wife...”
.......
In the solitary pavilion.
Tian Miao frowned, taking out a booklet from her sleeve, on which was clearly written:
“The Ma Yi Book of Divination”
Although this was not as overbearing as the “Tianyan Divine Calculation”, it was certainly not ordinary. frёeωebɳovel.com
An Ancestral Master of the Yantian Sect back then relied on this divine calculation art to discern Emperor Wu during his humble beginnings with her Wisdom Eye.
Although she had just learned it, she had already mastered the “Tianyan Divine Calculation”, so she wouldn't learn it haphazardly.
“Didn’t calculate accurately...”
“In that case, how should I report to the Sect for the next Qianlong Ranking?”
The Qianlong Ranking only considered battle achievements.
But in addition to achievements, it would also include many distinctive characteristics or strengths, so that various Realms in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could understand this Prodigy.
Could it be that Li Mo's characteristic was... bringing prosperity to his wife?
After a moment of silence.
She finally made up her mind.
Her eyes flickered with obscure light, seemingly piercing through layers of clouds to see the few people who had not yet gone far.
“Pfft~~~”
Several seconds later. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
She staggered to her feet from the ground.
She took out the special Jade Slip for the pavilion, dipped her pen in the bloodstain she had just spit out and which had not yet dried.
She meticulously bent over the table and wrote the first line.
'The chaotic star Yinghuo has been found; please, Master, decide.'
Then, she began to write other information about the Qianlong Ranking.
The new Qianlong Ranking was about to be released.
Not just in Yunzhou, but many people across the world were eagerly awaiting it...
