Zhang Tianle breaks his promise to his deceased master to save his younger martial sister suffering from leukemia, deciding to trade his life for hers by leaving seclusion to tell fortunes and earn...
Chapter 73
Liu Yiyi, who was clearing away the dishes, was about to put down her chopsticks and go to open the door when Zhang Tianle said, "I'll go."
After Liu Yiyi responded, she continued to clear the dishes.
When Zhang Tianle opened the door, he was somewhat surprised to see the visitor outside.
"Master Zhang, hello. I am a viewer in your live stream called 'What's wrong with my daughter?' My name is Zhang Tingting. I was supposed to come yesterday, but something came up and I was delayed."
The person standing outside the door was none other than the one who asked, "What happened to my daughter?"
Zhang Tianle glanced at her face: "Don't worry, your daughter's matter will be resolved soon. Don't worry about it. As for your husband, it seems he's run into a little trouble."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingting's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down before Zhang Tianle.
That's incredibly accurate.
She hadn't even asked Zhang Tianle for anything yet, and he already figured it out.
Most importantly, Zhang Tianle didn't use his powers just now.
She watched all of Zhang Tianle's videos, and every time he did a fortune telling for someone, a faint golden light would emanate from his body.
Every time she saw that golden light, she felt a sense of peace.
Even though he wasn't radiating golden light, it was still noticeable.
Thinking this to herself, she gripped Zhang Tianle's hand tightly: "Master! My husband's situation is not simple at all. If it's not dealt with, I'm going to divorce him. I've come here not only to ask you to help me with my husband's problem, but also to ask you to lend me a hand. Don't worry, money is definitely not a problem."
She arrived a little late because her husband had brought a mistress home and was determined to divorce her.
Her husband's attitude was completely different; he seemed like a different person altogether.
It became very unfamiliar.
If she hadn't known her husband so well, she might have actually given in to that vixen's wishes and divorced him.
Perhaps that vixen didn't investigate their family background properly.
She is the real person in charge of her husband's company!
Not her husband.
Moreover, what her husband cares about most is not anything else but his job and their little family.
So the moment her husband brought the vixen to her door, she sensed something was wrong.
She argued with them, which made her late for her flight.
In the end, he could only take a flight the next day to find Zhang Tianle.
“It’s not a big problem. Don’t worry. Come in and talk.” Zhang Tianle withdrew his hand, stepped aside, and led the person into Shundaotang.
The living room is still decorated as it was when his master was still alive.
The living room is filled with all sorts of antique furniture, as well as some antiques that their lineage puts out to impress people but can't be sold.
It looks very convincing.
After entering the living room, Zhang Tingting looked at the display shelves and the props on them: a compass, a duster, a bell, a peach wood sword, a talisman...
A wide variety, a dazzling array.
Each one exudes a classic, antique charm.
It looks very high-end.
So she was successfully fooled.
Zhang Tianle went into the living room, picked up a talisman brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and calmly drew a talisman for Zhang Tingting.
“Take this one back and put it on the bedside table in your daughter’s room. You should move the room as I instructed, right?” Zhang Tianle asked casually as he handed the talisman to Zhang Tingting after the ink had dried.
"Moved! Moved! I had someone move rooms the moment you mentioned it. Master, is there anything else I should be careful about? Do I need to burn this talisman, or can I just stick it directly on my daughter's bedside?"
"Just stick it on the headboard. No need to burn it, you'll see when the time comes." Zhang Tianle said, drawing the talisman again. After the ink dried, he handed it to Zhang Tingting again: "This one, you stick it on your husband."
Zhang Tingting was stunned for a moment.
Is it really that simple?
Can I just stick it on?
But would it really work if this were applied to her husband?
But when she thought about how her husband was completely bewitched by that vixen, she steeled her heart.
Never mind, I'll just stick it on.
Anyway, she wasn't the one who made a fool of herself.
So she solemnly accepted the talismans with both hands and placed them in the red envelopes. Then she pointed to the pen in Zhang Tianle's pencil case on his desk: "Master Zhang, may I borrow your pen?"
"Use it." This pen was a habit his master had when he was telling fortunes. Sometimes he would ask customers to write down their birth dates and times, so he had kept this habit.
And behind these pens, there were two large boxes piled up in the storeroom.
"Master, how much is this talisman?"
Zhang Tingting wrote her husband's and son's names on the red envelopes separately to avoid mixing them up later. After writing them, she pointed to the red envelopes and asked Zhang Tianle.
She was prepared for a major hemorrhage.
"You've already paid for that one; your husband's is worth a thousand."
Drawing these symbols was a simple task for him.
The cost of cinnabar and talisman paper together is less than 50 cents.
A thousand yuan is already an extremely high profit margin.
Of course, these have a completely different effect from the fake talismans sold online for ten for a penny.
"Huh? It's so cheap?"
Zhang Tingting was stunned.
It costs 3,000 yuan to have Zhang Tianle tell your fortune.
She originally thought that since Zhang Tianle had already drawn the talisman, it would definitely be worth a fortune, perhaps even ten thousand or one hundred thousand yuan apiece.
So she hadn't expected the talisman to be so cheap.
"This is the price." Zhang Tianle lowered his eyes. "This is a uniform price set by our sect."
Since Zhang Tianle said so, what else could she say? She took out her phone and scanned the WeChat payment QR code on the desktop.
"WeChat payment received: Yuan".
Upon hearing the voice message, Zhang Tianle was left with the question: "???"
Did he hear me correctly?
"It's just a small token. Please don't refuse, Master." Zhang Tingting smiled at Zhang Tianle, picked up her bag, and left in a hurry.
She also wanted to resolve the issues concerning her husband and daughter as soon as possible.
"etc!"
Just as Zhang Tingting was about to leave, Zhang Tianle called out to her, and Zhang Tingting stopped in her tracks.
"Take these twenty-one amulets back to your family. They'll need them for the next two months." Zhang Tianle took out a stack of amulets from the drawer, pulled out twenty-one, and handed them to Zhang Tingting.
Zhang Tingting froze once again.
At the same time, my awe for Zhang Tianle reached its peak.
Her husband's family and her own family's close relatives combined make up 21 people.
At this moment, in front of Zhang Tianle, she felt as if she were transparent, and to Zhang Tianle, she had no secrets.
But how could she let Zhang Tianle suffer a loss? She took out her phone from her bag and was about to pay Zhang Tianle again.
Zhang Tianle stopped her, saying, "You don't need to pay. Go back now."
Zhang Tingting said helplessly, "Thank you, Master, but I will accept your thanks."
