"Know a little? What a big mouth you are," Qi Yaoguang said, putting her hands on her hips. "Then you can tell me what big things will happen to me in the next few days."
Zuan hesitated for a moment: "Do you have tortoise shells or copper coins?"
Qi Yaoguang pouted: "You need someone else's fortune-telling?"
Even as she said this, she still took out a tortoise shell from her storage bag: "I got a tortoise shell a long time ago, but I haven't had a chance to use it. I'll lend it to you. I don't have any copper coins."
She is an expert in astrology, which is not the same school of thought as what Zuan is good at.
"I have some, I have some." Xie Daoyun took a few copper coins from her purse and handed them to Zu An, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Qi Yaoguang almost covered her forehead in exasperation. She was trying to help her senior brother, but his own disciple was siding with outsiders.
On the contrary, Yan Xiangu smiled kindly, seemingly not minding this at all, but rather more curious about how Zu'an performed divination.
Zu An smiled at Xie Daoyun, then picked up the tortoise shell, waved it in her palm, and directly sucked the copper coins into it.
Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, the tortoise shell began to spin rapidly in mid-air.
Qi Yaoguang snorted, thinking to herself that it wasn't like rolling dice, so why all the fancy stuff?
However, her expression quickly turned serious, because with a light tap of Zu An's finger, ancient and mysterious glowing lines suddenly appeared on the tortoise shell, subtly conforming to the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
As the saying goes, all methods lead to the same source. She was an expert in this field and immediately sensed its extraordinary nature. Her face showed some surprise as she thought to herself, "This guy really knows this."
At this moment, the tortoise shell began to vibrate rapidly, and then copper coins were spat out, floating in mid-air, connected to each other in some strange pattern.
"Huh?" Zu An was clearly a little confused when he saw the divination result.
Qi Yaoguang couldn't help but laugh: "You really can't figure it out, can you?"
I almost got fooled by this guy.
Zuan looked somewhat puzzled and stammered, "I've figured it out, but there are some contradictions..."
Hearing him say this, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but feel worried, while the other disciples became even more curious.
Jiang Luofu laughed and said, "Why don't you tell me?"
Zu An was somewhat embarrassed, but still replied, "I calculated that Miss Yao Guang would face a bloody disaster the day after tomorrow. I initially thought it was a very bad omen, but upon closer inspection of the divination, there was no sign of danger at all. In fact, she wouldn't need to do anything to safely overcome this bloody disaster. I don't know where the problem lies..."
This was, after all, his first time performing fortune-telling after learning the "Baopu Zhenjing" (a classic text on embracing simplicity), so his skills were still a bit rusty and it was normal that he might have made some mistakes.
Just then, Qi Yaoguang's pretty face turned bright red: "You pervert!"
This guy actually calculated her menstrual cycle so accurately; she had never told anyone about such a private matter.
Everyone present was intelligent and quickly understood, revealing knowing smiles.
Zuan was immediately embarrassed. "I really didn't mean it. Who knew I would foresee something like this?"
Shen Xuzi laughed the most heartily: "Junior Sister, now you have no objections, right?"
“Even if I have no objection, what’s the use? You guys only have 4 votes, and with me, it’s only 5 votes. There are 12 of us fellow disciples in total, and we don’t even have half of them. How can we easily accept him as the chief priest?” Qi Yaoguang muttered.
At this moment, Jiang Luofu suddenly spoke up: "That's not necessarily true. Second Senior Brother has a close relationship with him. Third Senior Brother also met him in Yunzhong County and highly regards him. Sixth Senior Sister is practically family with him. Ninth Junior Sister also has a good relationship with him. Except for Tenth Junior Brother, who has never met him, almost all of his fellow disciples have a good relationship with him."
Zu An was taken aback, wondering who her second senior brother and ninth junior sister were. He had no recollection of them, and more importantly, they were such good friends with him.
Yan Xiangu then spoke up: "So, the teacher's arrangement was not without reason. He is the most suitable candidate for the new chief priest. Yan Xiangu greets the chief priest!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and bowed.
Xie Daoyun immediately beamed and respectfully bowed, saying, "Xie Daoyun greets the Chancellor."
The others looked at her strangely, thinking, "Why does it look like you're worshipping your husband?"
Shenxuzi, Heibaizi, Wang Weiyang, and Yinshi, who were all supporters of Zuan, bowed and said, "Shenxuzi (Heibaizi, Wang Weiyang, and Yinshi) pay their respects to the new chief priest."
Jiang Luofu looked at the young man in front of her and was filled with emotion. He used to call her Principal respectfully, but now it's only been a short time and she has to bow to him.
However, since she had already intended to help, she took the opportunity to bow and say, "Jiang Luofu greets the new chief priest."
Finally, only Qi Yaoguang remained. Thinking of the other party's "miraculous" divination skills, she finally bowed her head and said, "Qi Yaoguang greets the new chief priest!"
"I was sick before, and these past two days I've been attending the Zongheng Annual Meeting in Macau. I haven't had any drafts prepared, so I didn't have time to cosplay the God of Gamblers or learn a foreign language from the foreign ladies under the Eiffel Tower. I've finally had a little time, but I'm just stuck in my room writing miserably. What a waste!"
