The group turned around and saw a chubby Taoist standing in front of them, wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe. His face was chubby, and when he smiled, his eyes almost squinted into slits. In addition, there was a big beer belly, and the sleeves and collar of his clothes were stained with some kind of oil. He did not have the slightest bit of the air of a Taoist immortal.
But he happened to be holding a banner with the three large characters "Wu Banxian" written on it.
Yun Jianyue nudged Yan Xuehen lightly with her elbow: "Does your Daoist sect also have disciples among the demon race?"
There are many sects within Taoism, but they all share the common goal of cultivating immortality and transcending the self.
Baiyujing is one of the largest sects in Taoism.
Yan Xuehen replied, "As long as one has the heart to pursue the Dao, one can cultivate anywhere. What's so strange about there being Daoist disciples among the demon race?"
Zu An chuckled: "Does that mean if we ask you to do a divination, we can turn bad luck into good and danger into safety?"
Those tricks that have been played out to death on Earth are actually used in this other world.
"No, no," the fat Taoist priest shook his head. "I will cast a divination for you to determine your fortune, and then, based on the divination results, I will give you the corresponding solutions. Only by following these solutions can you truly turn misfortune into good fortune."
These people were all outstanding figures of their time, so naturally they wouldn't be fooled by his petty tricks.
Zu An tossed over a piece of silver: "No need for fortune telling, but I have a question for you. Are there any merchant guilds in this city, and which one has the most abundant supply of goods?"
Such charlatans are undoubtedly the most well-informed; they may not be familiar with the Qingqiu Kingdom, but they certainly know everything about it.
The fat Taoist priest widened his eyes—though even when he strained to open them, they weren't very big, round like a rat's eyes: "So you're from the underworld, trying to rob the Chamber of Commerce? I won't do anything illegal."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The group of people were utterly speechless. Was there something wrong with this guy's brain?
Zuan grabbed his braid and pulled him back: "You think you can just walk away without answering my questions after taking my money?"
The fat Taoist priest, who had been looking serious, immediately laughed upon hearing this: "What are you saying, young master? You are so handsome and dashing, and the women beside you are all so beautiful and charming. You certainly are not the kind of people who would rob people. The largest merchant guild in Qingqiu City is called the Fox Merchant Guild, which is just a mile ahead."
Zu An nodded and was about to leave when the fat Taoist priest hurriedly called out to him, "Young master, please wait."
"Is there anything else?" Zuan looked at him warily, waiting to see what tricks the guy would pull next.
The fat Taoist priest stroked his mustache and said, "I, Wu Liang, am a diviner. It is our mission to help people avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. Let me tell your fortune."
Zuan was speechless: "I don't need it."
Yu Yanluo quietly asked Yan Xuehen, "What is a Celestial Master?"
She had never heard of it before, but the name sounded impressive. Since Yan Xuehen was a member of the Daoist sect, she should know about it.
Yan Xuehen's expression was somewhat strange: "It's just a title that fortune tellers use to glorify themselves."
Yu Yanluo: "..."
Yun Jianyue cursed inwardly, "You Taoists are all charlatans."
At this moment, the fat Taoist priest said, "No, this is our professional ethics. We just took your money, and if we don't help you resolve your bad luck, Heaven will punish me instead."
Without waiting for his reply, she made some strange hand gestures and muttered some incomprehensible spells, then suddenly exclaimed as if she had just realized something: "Young master, you're probably going to have a romantic encounter tonight."
Upon hearing this, the three women's eyes all fixed on Zu An.
At that moment, the three women seemed to unanimously agree that the prediction was somewhat accurate.
Sensing the murderous intent in his gaze, Zu An mentally greeted the fat Taoist's female elders: "Hmph, you just said we were going to have a bloody disaster, and now you're saying I'm going to encounter romance. Have you forgotten how you were talking nonsense?"
"Really? Did I say that?" The fat Taoist priest reacted quickly, immediately covering up his mistake. "There's no conflict between the two. If a woman's vulva has just been deflowered, wouldn't it cause bloodshed?"
The other women's gazes grew increasingly hostile. Yu Yanluo pondered, "I've already had intimate relations with Zu An. This shouldn't be referring to me. So, is it Yan Xuehen or Yun Jianyue?"
However, although in her heart, Zuan was infinitely charming and the best man in the world, it was hard to imagine that such a thing would happen between them, as one was the leader of a demonic sect and the other was the leader of the righteous path.
Yun Jianyue had the same thought. Yu Yanluo and Zu An had slept together countless times, so it couldn't be her. Could it be Yan Xuehen?
However, she immediately dismissed the idea. How could the Ice Stone Woman have any dealings with men? She was probably some kind of fox spirit in the city.
That womanizer, it's actually quite possible.
Yan Xuehen appeared calm and collected on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She ruled out Yu Yanluo first, and Yun Jianyue, that fierce demoness, was also out of the question.
Could this divination be referring to me?
Others may not know, but she knows that her relationship with Zuan has been incredibly complicated lately. Although they are not a couple, they are more intimate than couples in many ways, and they are just one step away from taking the final step.
She wouldn't be too surprised if that kind of thing really happened.
Oh no, I absolutely can't go see him alone today, lest something unexpected happens!
Sensing the strange atmosphere emanating from the three women, Zu An glared at the fat Taoist priest with an unfriendly expression: "But you clearly said it was a bloody disaster. How can you force this thing to be associated with a disaster?"
The fat Taoist priest calmly explained, "No, no, there are two kinds of peach blossoms: one is good fortune in love, and the other is a calamity. What you encountered tonight was a calamity, so it can be considered a bloody disaster."
