Su Nanxi had only said it casually, wanting to know how much the monk knew, and hadn't intended to do the divination herself. But after hearing what the monk said, she suddenly became interested.

Since this monk seems to have some skill, let's test it and see how accurate it is.

On a whim, he asked the monk to tell his fortune. "We are all from poor families. We ran so far away to escape famine. We don't know what the future holds. We are like rootless duckweed, drifting aimlessly. We can't feel at ease. Can you tell us what our future life will be like? Will it be smooth or not? Will we have a good life?"

The monk looked troubled, as if he were constipated, and hesitated to speak.

Xiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore, "Can you just tell me the truth? Don't hold back, what, are you trying to hold back a big surprise?"

Xiao Han stepped forward without saying a word, but his meaning was clear: be smart, stop dawdling, and give me a straight answer!

The monk sighed and finally uttered, "I can't get up!"

Su Nanxi and the other three looked at each other and suddenly found it a bit funny, almost bursting out laughing!

The monk also had his pride, and his meaning was quite clear: either give him the antidote so he could get up and be in good spirits to perform divination, or well, there was no way he could get up and perform divination!

Su Nanxi didn't give him the antidote. Instead, she had Xiao Wu and Xiao Han help the monk sit up, supporting him from behind so he wouldn't fall.

Giving her the antidote would mean things spiraling out of control; she'd be stupid!

Not only will they run away, but they might also suddenly hurt someone before leaving!

"Now you can sit up, right? Stop nagging! While I'm still interested in knowing, just tell me honestly. You're not the only one who can do divination, and I don't think it's necessary to do it!"

Su Nanxi made it clear to the monk that she was just curious for a moment, and it was not necessary for her to make a fuss about it!

The monk had no choice but to grit his teeth and do his best to perform a divination.

Su Nanxi found it interesting and quite mysterious. It seemed simple, but she didn't really think it was that easy to learn!

"Are you sure this is accurate? You're saying we'll have smooth sailing from now on, and most of us will live a good life? You're probably just kidding us, aren't you?"

Xiao Wu was the first to doubt it and raised questions.

He always felt that this monk was dishonest, always saying nice things to try and make them happy!

They thought that by pleasing them, they would let him go? No way!

They only want to hear the truth, not flattering words. How can it all be nice words without some unpleasant ones?

We still have a long way to go before we reach the place our master wants to go. The road is not safe, and we may encounter bad things at any time. There are robbers and even people who might kill for money. It's not going to be smooth sailing.

They weren't from the same family, and they often had minor disagreements. When it came to their own interests, they would have major disagreements. Even on simple issues like passing through the city gate and where to stay, they couldn't reach a complete agreement!

And every now and then someone stirs things up and creates a bad atmosphere, which can be quite annoying at times. How come things just go smoothly?

This monk must have some misunderstanding about the word "shun" (顺).

Do you even understand what the word "shun" means?

"I'm talking about the whole picture, with you people as the focus. But when it comes to the details, everyone has their own destiny!"

The monk quickly offered an explanation, fearing that Xiao Wu might slap him from behind.

Xiao Wu thought, "That's more like it!"

The other three didn't react much; it was just a joke, so they should just listen and not take it too seriously.

But Xiao Wu took it seriously. After all, he was the youngest and quite curious. He felt it wasn't very accurate and asked the monk to perform the divination again more carefully.

The monk shook his head, indicating that it was not possible; divination could only be performed once a day!

Can't you see he's even weaker now?

Sweat poured down his forehead, and he could tell that his face and lips were pale.

He has done his best!

Do you really think this is just bragging? All you have to do is talk!

This little brat doesn't understand anything. It's pointless to talk to him. Let's just forget about it. It's too embarrassing to argue with a little kid!

Divination is such a profound thing that not just anyone can understand it. If anyone could do divination, then divination would be nothing special!

It requires mental effort and mental energy!

"Xiao Wu, don't make things difficult for him. What he said is probably true! Let's just believe him for now! We haven't encountered any life-or-death situations along the way, and we probably won't in the future either! Believe in your good luck, and good luck will naturally follow!"

Seeing that Xiao Wu insisted on the monk performing divination, and that the monk seemed to lack the mental strength, Su Nanxi decided not to make things difficult for him. Otherwise, even if the divination was performed again, the result might not be true.

People's mouths are their own mouths; they can't touch or see them anyway. What they say is entirely up to them!

They can say anything they want, but whether it's true or not is another matter!

She preferred to believe the result of the first divination, which should be the most accurate, if the monk wasn't trying to mystify her.

But if a monk doesn't want to tell the truth, there's nothing they can do about it!

There's simply no way to verify it!

However, what the monk said was true; he didn't lie. He said whatever he divined, because he desperately wanted to live!

And the monk was right. Later, these people really did have smooth sailing. Of course, as the monk said, a small number of people were not included!

Most people followed suit without any ulterior motives, so they also benefited from the good fortune, and their lives truly got better and better!

When they went through the city gate, they passed through smoothly without having to pay any money. The gatekeeper even greeted them warmly!

These people are simply expert at clearing obstacles; they passed through without any hindrance!

Others can't be envious or jealous of them; they're just lucky!

Su Nanxi asked the gatekeeper what was going on, but the gatekeeper only said that he had been instructed to do so, and said no more. He probably really didn't know.

After all, whatever the higher-ups want to do, the people below just need to do it according to the requirements; they have no right to ask why!

Su Nanxi asked a few times, then gave up and stopped asking, knowing she wouldn't get an answer anyway.

Since they won't say, then forget it. Whoever did you do them a favor for, someone will come looking for you in return!

Just wait!

I couldn't help but think to myself, what that monk said was actually quite accurate!

Isn't this going quite smoothly?

It was completely unobstructed!

"This place is nice, let's stay here for the night!"

The village chief had no objections and thought it was a good idea, so he ordered the people to stop and set up camp!

It must have gone too smoothly for everyone to be happy. They didn't have to spend much money and could keep adding things along the way!

Everyone saw hope and became more motivated!

"Mute girl, what are you carrying? They're round and bulging!"
