Chapter 107 A Fat Sheep Awaiting Slaughter
No one thought Ye Wanxi was joking. As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
Xiao Baihui's face looked grim, and the people around him turned pale and silent. Gao Min subconsciously held her breath, not daring to breathe.
Finally, Zou Yuanhe forced himself to smooth things over, saying, "Young friend Ye, please don't misunderstand. Mr. Xiao is just using this as a professional habit; he didn't mean to make things difficult for you."
Qiu Yiluan, who came with Xiao Baihui, quickly pulled his boss aside and reminded him in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Didn't we agree to test the waters first after we arrived, so that things wouldn't get too tense all at once?"
Xiao Baihui had a cold face and said nothing, obviously not very convinced by what Ye Wanxi had just said.
Qiu Yiluan sighed, not daring to let him continue talking with Ye Wanxi, and stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, saying, "Miss Ye, please don't misunderstand. We're just wondering how a person could change so much before and after? Three years is one thing, but after all, you suffered a huge change back then, and you almost..."
Ye Wanxi heard the hidden meaning in his words, and her eyebrows raised slightly, surprised at the sharpness of these people.
"So, you suspect I've been possessed?"
The roundabout probing tactics they had planned before coming were caught off guard by Ye Wanxi's direct attack.
Qiu Yiluan was silent for a long time. Ye Wanxi did not make things difficult for him and turned her gaze to her fellow apprentice on the other side.
"Is this also what Abbot Qin and Master Zou mean?"
Now, everyone in the room focused their attention on the two of them.
Master Qin's cultivation was much higher than his junior brother's, and he resigned himself to his fate, saying, "There are indeed no signs of being possessed by someone on Miss Ye's body."
A smile flashed across Ye Wanxi's eyes, an expected answer.
She had indeed been possessed before, but the wandering ghost that possessed her was nowhere to be found now.
She was originally the owner of this body, and returning to it was the perfect match. How could one see any signs of possession?
Xiao Baihui looked Ye Wanxi up and down, and subtly reminded Zou Yuanhe and the others: "Even if it's not possession, it could be another situation."
Zou Yuanhe and his fellow apprentice exchanged a glance and gave an awkward smile.
Ye Wanxi instantly understood his implication, twitched her lips, and retorted with a stern face: "Spirits cannot become sentient after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Everyone: "..."
Gao Min subconsciously replied, "Maybe you were a spirit before the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"...Which side are you on?"
"Uh..." Gao Min suddenly met everyone's gaze, chuckled awkwardly, covered her mouth with her hand, and dared not say another word.
Ye Wanxi was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle: "You guys have quite the imagination, don't you? Or did you actually see a spirit disguised as a human before, so you immediately thought of that?"
Zou Yuanhe gave a dry laugh and continued to smooth things over: "Young friend Ye is joking. It's just that what young friend Ye has been doing lately seems to be beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, which is why some people are being suspicious."
"Whether it's overthinking or fear, I don't care. It's normal for people to be wary, worried, and afraid of the unknown. But don't overestimate yourself, and don't underestimate the will of Heaven. No matter how much money or power you have, you are not a god, you can't control other people's lives and deaths at will, and you can't make people your puppets."
Xiao Baihui's expression shifted slightly, and as soon as he looked up, he met Ye Wanxi's eyes, which were clear, deep, and quiet, making people inexplicably feel that any disguise would be exposed in front of these eyes.
"That's all I have to say. Take care of yourselves." Ye Wanxi stood up and stretched wearily. "We've had our chat, and I've answered all your questions. I have to film tomorrow, so I won't keep you any longer."
"etc."
Ye Wanxi paused, glancing at the speaker with a questioning look: "Is there something else?"
Qiu Yiluan smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Ye tells three fortunes for people every day. I glanced at the time, and it's just past midnight. I wonder if any of us would have the honor of having Miss Ye tell our fortunes?"
Since business came to her, Ye Wanxi naturally had no reason to turn it away.
She looked at the group as if they were several gleaming, fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered: "You want me to tell your fortunes?"
"Okay, is that alright?"
Gao Min's heart skipped a beat when she saw Ye Wanxi's expression, and she felt that someone was going to cause trouble again.
Sure enough, the next second Ye Wanxi said excitedly, "Okay, one million per person for one divination. Pay first, then do the divination, settle in one lump sum, no credit allowed."
"One million? That's so expensive."
"Is it expensive? I don't think so. You've all seen my pinned ad, so you should know my rules: pricing depends on the severity of the situation. One million, no bargaining, it's a mutually agreeable deal, love counts, right?"
Qiu Yiluan: "..."
The people around: "..."
The price is determined by the severity of the case, so this one million yuan price must be a very serious matter.
Now that things have come to this point, how could they dare not go back on their word?
Qiu Yiluan felt like he was on a pirate ship. If he didn't get his fortune told today, he would probably get depressed when he got back.
After a moment of contemplation, he still took out his phone with a heavy heart, secretly relieved: luckily he had a filial and capable son, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to afford to have his fortune told.
As it turns out, the sound of small amounts of money coming in is always pleasant and uplifting, no matter the time.
After receiving the money, Ye Wanxi didn't wait for the other party to speak and said loudly, "I lost my father at a young age and grew up with my mother. Now I have a son and a daughter, a happy family, and a harmonious marriage. However, I had a hard life in my early years, which left me with a lot of injuries and illnesses, and I also have a few troublesome things in my body."
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes when she said this, and gestured up and down at the position of Qiu Yiluan's left chest.
"Take it out when you have time this year."
Qiu Yiluan was startled, and his gaze toward Ye Wanxi was very complicated.
Xiao Baihui's expression had been grim ever since Qiu Yiluan sought out Ye Wanxi for fortune-telling. Hearing Ye Wanxi's words, he forgot all his anger and hurriedly asked, "What will happen if it's not removed this year?"
"It's so close to the heart, what do you think?"
Xiao Baihui's face darkened completely. He gripped Qiu Yiluan's arm tightly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Go back and take a vacation. You're not allowed to come back until you're cured."
Ye Wanxi watched this scene, her eyes flashing slightly. She put on her shrewd businessman smile again and asked in a low voice, "He's finished his calculations. Do you want yours?"
"Let's do a divination for him too, I'll pay you." Qiu Yiluan had only been trying it out, but now he had witnessed Ye Wanxi's skill firsthand. He grabbed Xiao Baihui and asked Ye Wanxi to do a divination for him, even forgetting about the million he had previously been worried about.
Ye Wanxi glanced at Xiao Baihui, raised her chin slightly, and said arrogantly, "You pay for your own things. Mr. Xiao, don't you even have this much money?"
