Wu Yue hadn't expected this twist of fate. However… she turned her gaze back to Xiang Dongshu, a glint of golden light flashing subtly in her eyes. Then she said, “Xiang Dong, Dashu, I observe that your peach blossom star is weak… yes, weak doesn't mean nonexistent. That's why I thought of giving you a peach blossom talisman to improve this weakened state.”
"How could that be?!" Xiang Dongshu waved his hand. "My father said that my love luck has long since died out. I was indeed very popular when I was young, but now I am destined to be a lonely widow."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Yue, thank you for your kind words to comfort me. I know my own situation. No matter what other suitors come my way, none of them are the ones I want. There is only... her in my heart."
At this moment, Wu Yue's expression was serious and her tone was firm, "Looking at your birth chart, your romantic prospects haven't faded. And, they will appear very soon."
The girl's earnest expression made Xiang Dongshu begin to doubt whether he had misheard his father's divination. He froze, unsure how to react.
A hint of interest flashed across Ming Yixiu's face as the man in the black robe pointed at himself with a smile, "Miss, can you help me with my fortune telling?"
"cannot."
"Why not? I'm not ugly, or are you trying to charge me? Oh, we're in the same line of work, I know the rules. I don't have cash on me today, only a card with 50,000 yuan on it, is that alright?" Her initial assessment of Xiang Dongshu wasn't entirely genuine; her true abilities were still unknown. Ming Yixiu's great interest was undoubtedly due to Yan Chiyu's influence, or perhaps because he genuinely thought Wu Yue was capable. As for the real reason, it was hard to say.
Wu Yue's gaze lingered on the gold card for a moment before quickly shifting away from Baba's little eyes. "Since we're in the same profession, we know that everything in this world is about fate. That's why I can't do a divination for you."
Ming Yixiu smiled, "I understand. Then could you please give me a few words of hints, Miss? Four words, three words, or even two words will do."
"..."
Wu Yue rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought, before finally speaking: "The rose won't bloom."
"ha?"
Ming Yixiu reacted very quickly, looking at Wu Yue with an extremely absurd expression, "Okay, I don't understand, I don't understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Yixiu picked up the cup in front of him with one hand and took a sip of hot tea from the rim.
However, the hand tucked into his shirt pocket clenched involuntarily. The veins on the back of his hand stood out, and several irregular lines appeared on his palm, betraying his feelings.
The flowers aren't blooming... Hehe...
That's really accurate.
Before Yan Chiyu could even pick up his brush and begin to write, Su Xianrong on the main stage announced that it was almost time and asked everyone to present their work to the attendant so that the value of the talismans could be determined by the machine in the attendant's hand. Only then did Yan Chiyu leisurely pick up the fine wolf-hair brush and draw a talisman in one go.
A talisman with defensive capabilities.
Meeting Wu Yue's questioning gaze, Yan Chiyu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll earn you some pocket money."
"Okay, then."
At that time, waiters carrying small testing machines had already come to each table of guests.
Then, a ranking began to appear on the large screen on the main stage, with names and entries constantly scrolling and changing. As a talented person rose to the top of the ranking, it meant that someone else fell to the bottom.
There are many types of talismans, and the Su family doesn't mind acquiring them primarily as attack, defense, and healing talismans. The percentage indicates the amount of spiritual energy contained within, as measured by the machine.
The list is as follows:
First Place: Su Shi - Su Xingning - Attack Talisman - 39%
Second place: Xu Clan - Xu Shaoxuan - Defense Talisman - 38%
Third place: Xu Clan - Xu Shaoxuan - Attack Talisman - 37.5%
Fourth place: Su's - Su Qiukang - Healing Talisman - 33%
Fifth Place: Rogue Cultivator - Xu Junnan - Defense Talisman - 32.99%
...
...
8th Place: Ming Clan - Ming Guangzai - Teleportation Talisman - 20%
...
...
The rankings are constantly changing.
