Chen drove eastwards, and even as the sun was setting, he still hadn't stopped.
Su Liping was a little anxious.
"Old Chen, why aren't we here yet? Where are you going? Didn't you say you knew what you were doing?"
"Of course I know. I've already looked at it. Look at this map. There's a fishing village at the far east. That's the far east. The place the Taoist priest is talking about must be there."
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"How could I possibly lie to you? If anyone is lying to you, it's the Taoist priest. Don't think about it too much, let's go and take a look first."
"oh."
The two drove to the fishing village.
This fishing village is still under the jurisdiction of Donghai City, but compared to the bustling Donghai City, it is obviously much more backward. The roads are full of potholes and not very wide, making the ride quite bumpy.
The sun had set, and the sky had darkened.
"Old Chen, are you sure this is the place? She looked so fair and clean that day, she didn't look like someone who grew up by the sea at all."
Chen Yishou was also puzzled.
"I find it strange too. The people on the beach all looked dark-skinned on the way here. It doesn't seem like it."
"Did we go to the wrong place? She doesn't live here at all."
“I don’t think so either. Maybe that Taoist priest made a mistake. Let’s go back first and ask him properly tomorrow.”
After Su Liping agreed, Chen turned the car around and headed back.
Just then, Cai Jing rode up from behind on his old electric bike, and as they turned around, they crashed into each other again.
Holy crap!!!
Cai Jing couldn't dodge in time and rolled over on the side of the road with his vehicle. His arms and knees were scraped, and his lower back was pinned down by the electric scooter.
He screamed in pain.
"Holy crap! I bumped into someone!"
Hitting a person is different from hitting a car. Although Chen Yishou and his wife were greedy for small gains, they were not bad people at heart. After realizing they had hit someone, they quickly got out of the car.
He ran to the roadside and helped Cai Jing, who had been pinned down by the electric scooter, up. Cai Jing was about to start cursing when Chen Yishou shouted first.
"Master!!! It's you, Master!!! We're truly destined to meet!!!"
Cai Jing was stunned when he saw Chen Yishou and his wife clearly.
He had previously visited Chen Zhe's ancestral grave, so he knew Chen Yishou and his wife. He thought they were there to settle scores with him, so he quickly covered his face with his hands.
"You've mistaken me for someone else, you've mistaken me for someone else..."
Chen Yishou brushed his hand away and said excitedly, "Master, you're not mistaken! It's me, Chen Yishou. You even helped us change our ancestral graves before, don't you remember?"
"No, you've mistaken me for someone else..."
“Master, I’d recognize you even if you were ashes. Oh my, I’ve been thinking all day about how my son suddenly became so successful. Then I remembered you helped us renovate our ancestral graves before, and the more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. And now that I’ve run into you again, I know this is the right thing to do. Look! This car! Mine!”
Chen pulled Cai Jing to his car.
He patted the hood of the car with his hand.
“GLc! It cost over 500,000! My son bought it for me. You said that if you changed the ancestral grave, my son would become rich. Sure enough, a master is a master!”
Cai Jing was completely dumbfounded.
When he changed the ancestral graves, he actually wanted to harm Chen Zhe; how could it possibly be for his own good?
He also didn't quite understand why Chen Zhe later became successful.
But when he heard Chen Yishou praise him like that, he still puffed out his chest as if he were a hermit.
"Sigh, I didn't want you to recognize me just now. I always do good deeds anonymously..."
Chen Yishou was overjoyed; "Master, it's truly fate that we met today!"
Cai Jing was somewhat puzzled.
This place is in a remote location, so why would Chen Yishou and his wife come here?
How did you end up here?
"Oh, right, Master, we came here to look for our daughter, but we haven't found her."
"Your daughter?"
Cai Jing asked.
"Yes, Master Cai, Master Xie from Qingyun Mountain said our daughter is in the east and told us to keep going east, but we walked for a whole day and still didn't see her. That's when we met you, Master Cai. Why don't you help us with your divination? I feel that your divination is more accurate."
Today, upon encountering Cai Jing, and recalling how Cai Jing had previously helped him renovate his ancestral graves, and seeing his son's success, Chen Yishou placed 100% trust in Cai Jing.
"What Master Xie said?"
"Yes, but he didn't explain it clearly. Master, could you please do another reading for us?"
"this……"
Upon hearing that it was Xie Laodao who made the calculation, Cai Jing hesitated. Xie Laodao's Taoist skills were far superior to his own. Could he really get involved in the calculations made by this master?
Fortune tellers have a rule: once a master has made a prediction, it cannot be easily changed; to change it easily is to break the rule.
In terms of age, Master Xie was older than him, and in terms of seniority, he was several times older. In terms of ability, he was far inferior to him. He dared not easily interrupt Master Xie's calculations.
So he wanted to make excuses.
"I'm afraid I can't help with this..."
"Master, please, we'll pay you. My son is successful now, we'll give you whatever amount you want."
Su Liping pleaded.
"Huh? Pay me?"
Cai Jing has been burdened by money all his life. For example, today, he just went out to tell fortunes and received a small sum of money. Now he got into a car accident on his way back. He really can't keep a single penny. But then he thought of something else. He can't keep his money, but Xiao Hao can. Although Xiao Hao is destined to die young, he has that girl next to him. As long as he sticks to that girl and the two of them lean on Chen Zhe together, then Xiao Hao can help him keep the money.
So in that case, he should be able to make some more money.
Thinking of this, Cai Jing coughed slightly.
"Well, it's not impossible to calculate it, but there's a rule in our line of work. Master Xie is several generations older than me, and I can't easily change what he has calculated."
There are indeed rules, but Cai Jing can disregard them, depending on whether there's any benefit to be gained.
He's saying this now to pave the way for getting more money.
The couple fell for it.
"Master, how much do you want? Just name your price, and I'll have my son bring the money over."
Hearing the other party's urgency, Cai Jing thought to himself, "This is it."
"Alright! Since you're so sincere, I'll break the rules this once. You two come back with me to my house, and I'll take a good look at you."
"Oh? Master, do you live here?"
Looking at the scattered lights of the village ahead, Chen Yishou could hardly believe that this master actually lived here.
"That's right, we are cultivators, we don't care about our living environment, we just want peace and quiet."
One sentence made Chen Yishou and his wife admire Cai Jing again.
"As expected, a master is a master."
The dilapidated electric scooter was abandoned on the roadside. Cai Jing got into Chen Yishou's car and stroked the soft seat.
I felt a pang of sadness.
There was a time when I rode in this kind of car every day. What a pity! I just couldn't keep it. This poor life is really too painful. It's not that Cai Jing doesn't have the ability to make money. He has a great ability to make money, but he just can't keep it.
I got to ride in this luxury car again.
Cai Jing secretly vowed to help his apprentice Mo Xiaohao change his fate, because only by helping his apprentice change his fate could he change his own.
The car drove to Cai Jing's dilapidated little house by the sea.
Mo Xiaohao was returning from fishing at the beach at that moment.
After his injuries healed, he wanted to return to Chen Zhe's place to continue working, but his master wouldn't allow it, saying that if he went back, he would die.
Mo Xiaohao was speechless. He was the one who wanted him to be with Chen Zhe, and he was also the one who wanted him to be with Chen Zhe but not with Chen Zhe.
What exactly does Master want to do?
Later, Cai Jing said that they could go back, but Ye Lihong had to go back with him. But how could Ye Lihong possibly go? So they remained at an impasse.
Ye Lihong originally planned to leave, but Cai Jing's words made her stay.
Cai Jing had calculated her fate; she knew that if she went out now, she would die. Ye Lihong wasn't afraid of death, but after meeting her biological parents, she suddenly felt that she had nowhere to go and no hope for life, so she stayed here.
Three people, three mouths to feed; every day at daybreak, they open their mouths to eat.
Mo Xiaohao and Ye Lihong were both shot. Although they can walk now, they can't do heavy work. Xiaohao's education level only allows him to do heavy work, so he can't earn money if he doesn't do heavy work. Ye Lihong doesn't even have an ID card, so she can't withdraw her savings in China.
So the three of them relied solely on Cai Jing's daily fortune-telling at his stall to make a living.
Mo Xiaohao, holding the fish, saw the luxury car drive up to his doorstep.
They immediately realized what was happening.
"Master has landed a big order!"
Mo Xiaohao was already tired of eating fish and vegetables every day, or seaweed and tofu soup.
I saw the luxury car arrive.
Without saying a word, he threw the fish in his hand aside and then eagerly ran over.
He and his master Cai Jing had always worked together very well, and his master, being a highly accomplished person, needed someone to highlight his own abilities.
He arrived at the car door, about to say something, when the car door opened.
His master and Chen Shouyi and his wife came out of there.
Mo Xiaohao was taken aback; the two people in front of him seemed somewhat familiar.
Then he remembered that these two people were Chen Zhe's parents.
"Master, why did you bring them here?"
Mo Xiaohao knew that they had previously altered Chen Zhe's ancestral graves. Were these two here to settle scores?
Cai Jing coughed and said, "Don't be so alarmed. Go inside and pour your Uncle Chen and the others a cup of tea."
"oh oh."
Mo Xiaohao walked into the house with doubts.
Then, skillfully, he began to brew tea.
Cai Jing led Chen Yishou and his wife into the living room. Although it was called a living room, it was actually very simple, with two of the three walls being drafty.
Chen Yishou sat on a creaky stool.
"Master, can you tell our fortunes now?"
Cai Jing said, "You all have a cup of tea first, I'll take a bath and change my clothes."
"Huh? I need to take a bath too? Master, do you really have to take a bath now?"
"Don't get me wrong. If you need to calculate the exact location, I can't just do it casually. You won't have to wait long; I'll be right back."
After Cai Jing finished speaking, he went into a room.
Mo Xiaohao then brought over some tea.
"You are very lucky. This is the first time I have seen my master so solemn. It seems that he values you very much."
The Chen couple were very happy to hear this.
"The master is a really good person."
"However, my master's solemnity also wastes some of his energy. You know, for cultivators, once their spiritual energy is wasted, it is very difficult to cultivate it back."
"What...what should we do then?"
Chen Yishou and his wife asked in unison.
"Well, to make up for it, we need to buy some expensive medicinal herbs..."
“No problem! I’ll call my son in a bit. He has money now, he’ll take care of the money problem.”
Although he didn't want to cheat his former boss, Mo Xiaohao didn't want to live a difficult life. His master had said that he would give him his money to manage when he had it, so his master's money was his money.
After Cai Jing changed his clothes and came out, Mo Xiaohao made eye contact with him, which meant that he had already laid the groundwork.
Cai Jing nodded in satisfaction and then walked over.
Although he was a bit of a conman, he was genuinely skilled. As he calculated for the couple, his expression changed.
"Seven Killings???"
This kind of fate is very rare, and Cai Jing immediately realized who Xie Laodao was talking about.
He looked at Mo Xiaohao anxiously and asked, "Where did Ye Hong go?"
Mo Xiaohao scratched his head, wondering why his master was asking this.
"She was watching the sunset at the beach just now, and I called her to come back, but she wouldn't."
Upon hearing the name "Night Red," Chen Yishou and his wife's breathing quickened.
When Hong came over at night before, she mentioned that this was her name.
Su Liping's eyes reddened.
"Master, is my daughter really with you?"
