Chapter 318 Deliberately Saying Only Half a Sentence

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yishu called me and invited me to a dinner.

The dinner was held on the second floor of Yishu’s own hotel.

Yishu greeted me downstairs and introduced me to his friends. The only two people attending the dinner were women: Ms. Qi, the vice president of the Lihua Hotel, and Zhang Xiaoxuan.

They went up to the second floor and entered a luxurious private room. Everyone present stood up. Yishu said, "This is Master Honghui from Taiyi Temple."

Everyone applauded.

There were eight of them in total. Yishu's four friends were all men in their thirties.

Ms. Qi is also in her thirties, tall, neatly dressed, with a sweet smile, and looks like a professional manager.

I took the opportunity to look at the woman named Zhang Xiaoxuan. She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and her appearance was not outstanding.

After everyone sat down, Yishu said, "Today is a special dinner. Apart from two colleagues from my company, the others are all my good friends in the business world.

However, we all have one thing in common: we have never seen Master Honghui. Master Honghui and I have been good friends for many years.

His common name is Wan Shanhong, so today we all call him Teacher Wan. How great is Teacher Wan?

As everyone listened intently, Yishu kept the conversation a secret: "Then wait and see. After dinner, let's go to the teahouse in the annex to listen to Teacher Wan's sermon."

Everyone applauded again.

Yishu whispered in my ear: "Let's try some tricks at the dinner table."

I nodded.

At Yishu's suggestion, I simply performed a trick of turning mineral water into wine. Readers have read this many times and don't find it surprising.

However, I personally witnessed myself taking a jug of mineral water from a waiter, pouring it out for the waiter to verify, and after confirming it was mineral water, I snapped a picture and asked the waiter to pour everyone some wine. After everyone tasted it, it was indeed white wine.

The actual effect is quite amazing.

Everyone doesn’t understand how this mineral water became wine?

The waiter poured a little for each of us and confirmed it was liquor. Then I tapped the bottle and sifted it again. Everyone drank plain water.

After doing this twice, they became completely mysterious to me.

After dinner, Yishu took everyone to the teahouse in the annex.

A large private room had been reserved long ago. Everyone went in and sat down in a semicircle. The theme was fortune-telling.

I said, "Fortune-telling is exhausting, so I'll only tell fortunes for two people tonight. As for which two people to tell fortunes for, let's play a game. Draw lots. Except for Mr. Yi, for the six of you who draw 1 and 6, I'll tell your fortune."

Mr. Qi made a few paper balls and tossed them. Mr. Wu and Mr. Qi both caught the numbers 1 and 6.

I first asked Mr. Wu to tell me his fortune. After he gave me his birth date and eight characters, I spun them around on my fingers. "I'll only tell you about your life before you're 36," I said.

"Why?" asked the Qi people.

“For things to happen in the future, the verification period will be too long.”

I looked at Mr. Wu and said, "When you were born, your parents didn't get a good night's sleep. You had infant jaundice. When you were three, you couldn't talk much, and your parents worried that you might be mute. When you were nine, you still stuttered.

You've always been in poor health, especially sensitive to cold. As a child, you even liked to cover your head with a blanket when you slept. You entered university at nineteen and started working at twenty-three. Marriage came late, at thirty-one, and you're now thirty-three.

Your life is quite ordinary, and you won't achieve anything significant until you're thirty-six or older. Your current life journey hasn't been particularly remarkable; it's all been rather ordinary. You're a late bloomer.

These words did sound quite plain. However, what surprised everyone was that when I spoke, regardless of whether Mr. Wu responded or not, I just kept talking. This confidence still surprised them.

Mr. Wu smiled and said, "That's right. My life is indeed dull."

Next, let’s settle it for Ms. Qi.

After she gave me her birth date and eight characters, I closed my eyes slightly. This one, I had to be more specific to entice Zhang Xiaoxuan to ask me for a fortune-teller in the future.

I said, "Boss Qi, I can only tell you about your fate alone."

Ms. Qi was startled and asked, "Is it good or bad?"

I just smiled slightly, and after a long while I said, "Let's talk privately. Let's add each other on WeChat first."

As soon as they heard about adding WeChat, everyone wanted to join. I accepted everyone's offer and added them one by one. Ms. Qi walked around outside and came in and said, "Teacher Wan, could you please sit next door for a while?"

This is the result I want.

I followed Ms. Qi to a small private room next door. I gave her a detailed calculation, giving her examples for each age group. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

After the calculation, we came out.

I made an excuse to stay in the corridor and called my brother-in-law, asking him to call me in ten minutes to urge me to go back.

The second reason why I stayed was because I knew that the people in the box would definitely ask Ms. Qi whether my calculations were accurate.

She would definitely say it was divine.

As expected, when I walked in, everyone looked at me with admiration. They all said, "Teacher Wan, there is such a good opportunity. Can you spare a moment of your time to calculate for everyone?"

I said, "There are plenty of opportunities. Fortune telling can't be done in front of a large group of people. Besides, I need a quiet environment. You're welcome to come to my place for tea some other day, and we can talk one-on-one."

Yishu said, "Anyway, everyone has added Teacher Wan on WeChat. We can keep in touch later."

I stopped talking about fortune-telling and started talking about Brother Shi giving money to my father-in-law's family in need. Although they didn't know Brother Shi, after listening to my story, they all criticized the current social atmosphere for being unhealthy. Some people are pushing things too far, without any reason.

I said, "True destiny is only given by nature. Real fate can be controlled by oneself. As the saying goes, the best feng shui lies within oneself."

Everyone expressed their opinions on this topic, and the discussion became very lively. However, Zhang Xiaoxuan just listened and rarely spoke.

Yishu was very good at setting the tone. He said, "Teacher Wan, since you're here, I won't be telling fortunes this time. Please give everyone a message, which will tell them what they should pay attention to in the future."

I pretended to refuse.

The more he refused, the louder his pleading became.

I just looked at everyone and made a few comments one by one.

When it was Zhang Xiaoxuan's turn, I pretended to be surprised and said, "Xiao Zhang, you might want to pay attention to your leg problem."

"Legs?" She looked at me in surprise.

"right."

Ms. Qi asked, "Her legs?"

Yishu also asked in surprise, "Should we pay attention to the problem of injury?"

At this time, my brother-in-law called as expected. I answered the phone, said I had something to do at home, stood up and said goodbye to everyone.

Zhang Xiaoxuan stood up and asked anxiously, "Teacher Wan, what will happen to my legs?"

I deliberately said calmly, "I'll talk to you alone when I'm free."

She was left standing there bewildered and at a loss.

I left, leaving resolutely.

Next, I just waited for her call.

Sure enough, the phone rang before I even got home.

"Teacher Wan, I'm Zhang Xiaoxuan, the one you had dinner with from the Lihua Hotel."

I responded with a lukewarm “Oh oh”.

Her voice was a little hurried: "You said my legs...what's going on?"

"I'm a little busy. Come see me in three days."

After saying this, I hung up decisively, not allowing her to say another word.
