Chapter 173 A Fateful Marriage 11

Capable people have privileges wherever they go.

So Ning Yan pulled the barely noticeable Xu Jinchen away.

"Honey, are we really going home?"

"No way back! Let's go to the square. The Seven Departments don't have much to deal with every day. It's too much trouble to accumulate merit by dealing with things there. Let's set up a fortune-telling stall in the square."

After setting up my stall, I bought some talisman paper; I've used up all the ones I bought before.

Xu Jinchen drove straight to the square. The fortune-telling tools were all ready-made. His wife had set up a fortune-telling stall quite a bit on their way back to J Province, and the tools were all in her storage bag, so there was no need to prepare anything else.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the city's largest square. Why did they come here?

Because there were fortune tellers right next to the square, and quite a few people lined up, Ning Yan went over and found an old man, bought his spot, and gave him two hundred yuan.

The old man was beaming with joy. He could only earn three or five hundred yuan a day by setting up his stall here, but he could earn two hundred yuan just by moving to another place. Anyone would be happy in that situation.

The old man quickly carried his things to the opposite side to set up his stall. Xu Jinchen arranged the table and chairs, laid a clean light blue tablecloth on the table, and placed writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and several fortune-telling tools on it.

Ning Yan planted the flag on the ground, and the pole, which was not much thicker than a thumb, stood firmly in place. She sat down on the chair, and the flag next to her unfurled in the wind. On the white flag with red border, several large characters were written: Ning Banxian (Ning the Half-Immortal).

I'm absolutely certain of my predictions; if I'm wrong, you don't pay!

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ning Yan's poke was no simple feat. The bamboo pole was clearly very thin and would have topped over if left unsupported, but now it not only didn't fall, but the flag didn't even sway when the wind blew.

Some of the bolder ones even went up and tried to pull the flag, but it didn't budge!

The man who pulled up the flag knew he had met someone capable today. He respectfully called out to Ning Yan, "Immortal Ning," and after Ning Yan nodded to him, he quickly retreated back into the crowd.

Ghosts also need to accumulate merit in their cultivation in order to eliminate their karmic obstacles.

Xu Jinchen's karmic burden from personally killing four people was heavier, which affected his cultivation speed.

But if you ask him if he regrets having four lives on his hands in his quest for revenge, he says he doesn't!

What is the point of living if one cannot take revenge personally?

...

Soon, business started coming to Ning Yan.

Even though the other people were older than Ning Yan, and some even had white beards, and looked more reliable than Ning Yan, that young man still sat down in front of Ning Yan.

The old man was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard, wishing he could just drag the young man onto his stall.

Being pretty isn't everything!

This old man was also a Taoist priest in the Yishan Scenic Area in the city. However, not many people went to that scenic area, so he came to the city to beg for food.

Ning Yan's move of planting the flag also stunned him; otherwise, he wouldn't have just snorted.

Ning Yan didn't care whether others were convinced or not; when they met her, they had to swallow their pride. "Young man, what do you want to be?"

Li Zhiqiang didn't come because Ning Yan was good-looking. He wasn't that superficial. He felt that Ning Yan, being so young, dared to sit among a group of old men, so she must have real skills. Moreover, her skill in planting flags proved this point. So when Ning Yan asked him, he immediately explained his purpose.

"Let's calculate our careers."

There's a promotion spot in our department, and I'm competing with two other people. I want to see if I have a chance.

Do we need to provide our birth dates and times (based on the Eight Characters of Birth)? Or should we directly use divination

Ning Yan shook her head, "No need for that. If you're just asking about your career, I can tell you directly that your Tiankui star, Jupiter, and Venus are all in your natal chart at the same time."

Tiankui Star is also known as the Nobleman Star. Jupiter represents male benefactors, who will be promoted in their work and career. Venus represents help in family and emotional relationships. Your benefactors should be your spouse.

You unintentionally helped a lady before, and she and her husband mentioned you. So, your promotion is a sure thing; just wait for the news.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqiang's eyes lit up; he knew who the master was referring to.

During a previous business trip, someone tried to catch the mistress cheating at the hotel, but they failed and she ran away.

The wife asked her husband who the mistress was. The mistress didn't want to reveal her lover, so she pretended to look into the crowd of onlookers. The wife saw her and assumed that the mistress was hiding among the onlookers.

When the mistress ran away, she was wearing a purple dress. There happened to be one in the crowd, and the key point is that this one was extremely beautiful and dressed very fashionably.

The wife went up to grab the woman's hair and even tried to slap her, but Li Zhiqiang, who was standing nearby, stopped her. "You can't just hit someone without asking questions! This lady was standing here before I arrived; she can't possibly be the mistress you're talking about."

Besides, what fool would stay put and wait to be caught by you?

The wife hesitated, afraid of calling the wrong person. The woman who was being misunderstood gave the wife a disdainful look. "Look at my outfit. Can your scumbag husband afford it? Besides, I'm forty years old this year. Who doesn't look for a younger mistress?"

Only then did the empress realize that she had chosen the wrong person.

The woman lost interest in watching the spectacle and thanked Li Zhiqiang, even asking for his name.

This wasn't a big deal, and Li Zhiqiang didn't take it to heart at all. But on the day the contract was finalized, he saw that woman again; she turned out to be the wife of their vice president.

I suppose the vice president and his wife are the benefactors the master was talking about.

After figuring it out, Li Zhiqiang took out his phone, transferred 500 yuan, and then left happily.

After he left, a young woman in her twenties sat down in front of Ning Yan.

"How much is the divination fee? Should I pay in advance or later?"

Ning Yan smiled and said, "The divination fee is up to fate, payable later, and if it's inaccurate, you don't have to pay."

What do you want to calculate?

The little girl said, "It's not me, it's me who wants you and my older sister to do the calculations."

"Tell me in detail."

"My sister started dating a boyfriend last year, and she brought him home to meet her parents after the New Year."

Then they discussed the wedding arrangements, but the groom was extremely stingy and didn't plan to contribute anything. He only offered 38,000 yuan as a bride price.

What era are we living in? No house, no car, no savings, and even a job that only pays three or four thousand.

If the man were good-looking and capable, it would be fine, and our family could understand. The problem is, he's not good-looking at all. My sister is like she's under a spell, saying they're destined to be together for three lifetimes, and she's determined to marry him no matter what.

"You want me to help you determine if they are a perfect match?"

"No. I want you to help me see if that person has cast a curse on my sister!"

Ning Yan looked up. "Did you notice anything else wrong with your sister?"

"Yes, my sister stayed at home for seven days, and I noticed that she was always hungry. She ate a lot, but before, my sister's appetite was about the same as mine, and she would only eat half a small bowl of rice. It's impossible for a person to suddenly change that much, right?"

I suspect my sister has been cursed or something, like a black magic spell. Could you please take a look?
