The fortune teller stopped the Qiao family in front of the jewelry shop.
"May you ladies enjoy boundless longevity and happiness."
Qiao Lian'er looked at him and saw that he was a Taoist priest, so she gave a Taoist greeting: "Taoist priest, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It is like this, I see that you ladies have extraordinary features, and you are obviously very wealthy and noble. I would like to tell your fortunes."
Qiao Zhizhi said, "Since we're already so rich and powerful, why bother with all this extra work?"
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "This young lady is quite eloquent. As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. Otherwise, I would not have come to disturb you ladies."
“So, it seems the Taoist priest has something to offer,” Qiao Lian’er said.
"It's not exactly a suggestion, but a reminder." The Taoist priest's attitude was very devout.
Qiao Lian'er smiled and said, "They don't need to be told, but please tell my fortune instead."
Something flickered in the Taoist's eyes. This was the most crucial point. Could this be considered as him delivering himself to their doorstep?
But a look of worry appeared on his face: "It's safest to calculate everything. Although I'm not a master, I've been reading faces for twenty or thirty years, so I have some experience."
"It's alright, I'll protect them if they're in danger," Qiao Lian'er said.
The Qiao family was deeply moved, and with their gradually developing sense of awareness, they knew that Lian'er was trying to test the old Taoist's intentions.
The Taoist priest sighed and said, "Everything is up to your own will. Since you insist, young lady, I will not force you. Please."
Qiao Lian'er said to the others, "Everyone, go and explore first."
Qiao Zhizhi nodded: "Okay, Lian'er will go to the fortune teller, and we'll go buy jewelry."
The Taoist priest gestured for Qiao Lian'er to sit down in front of the stall.
Various ritual implements and props were laid out on the table. The Taoist priest pushed the brush and ink in front of Qiao Lian'er and said, "Please write down a character and your birth date and time."
Qiao Lian'er wrote down the character "Lian" and then her birth date and time.
The Taoist priest picked up the note, examined it carefully, and then picked up the birth date and time for analysis.
All of these were platitudes that apply everywhere. Qiao Lian'er listened calmly, but smiled without saying a word.
"The young lady will face a calamity in three years. She will need to carefully resolve it in order to get through it safely," the Taoist priest said.
Qiao Lian'er knew that she would have to pay more.
She placed a small piece of silver directly on the table and listened to a series of ambiguous and vague platitudes.
By the time it ended, there was no useful information at all.
In the jewelry store, everyone picked out several items, and those they thought would suit Qiao Lian'er were reserved for her as well.
Qiao Lian'er accepted them all; the Qiao family is not short of money, it's all out of goodwill.
"I have to leave now, you all take your time," she said.
Qiao Zhizhi pulled her aside: "Lian'er, is there something wrong with that Taoist priest?"
"I can't tell, it's just that I'm used to being cautious about everything."
"Okay, then be careful."
Qiao Lian'er left the jewelry store, left the street, put on her invisibility cloak, and then circled back.
The Taoist priest remained in the same spot, and when he saw a richly dressed guest, he went to solicit customers.
