It was still early, so after finishing lunch, Linxi went back to the antique street to set up her stall.
The elderly men and women waved, "Master, how is Wanwan?"
Lin Xi knew they wanted to hear gossip, so she briefly explained the whole story.
The older woman clicked her tongue twice, "Online dating is a terrible thing."
An old man retorted, "It's not online dating that's harmful, it's the bad person. Online dating isn't all bad."
Aunt He glanced at him and said, "Old Zheng, you're so old, you're not still having online romances, are you?"
Grandpa Zheng blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We're not having an online romance, we're dating."
"Huh~"
Aunt He was speechless. "Old Zheng, don't lose all your money. No one will collect your body when you die."
Grandpa Zheng glared at him, "My wife passed away more than 20 years ago. What law says I'm not allowed to find another partner?"
Aunt He shook her head and sighed, "People who want you when you're halfway to the grave, they want you because you're old, because you don't bathe, because your feet and mouth smell bad? Isn't it all about the little bit of stinking money in your pocket!"
"What do you know?" Grandpa Zheng was lost in fond memories. "We were in a twilight romance."
Aunt He added insult to injury: "Can't even get an erection, and you're talking about a twilight romance? Bah!"
Grandpa Zheng's face turned ashen, "You, you, you..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Aunt He put her hands on her hips. "Did I say something wrong?"
Grandpa Zheng was unconvinced. "Master Lin, please tell my fortune."
Lin Xi cleared her throat. "Do you have any photos?"
Grandpa Zheng shook his head, "No, this is a spiritual exchange between us, it has nothing to do with appearance."
"Young people call it... Platonic love."
Aunt He rolled her eyes. "Old Zheng, you've definitely been fooled. There's a burly man behind this. I've seen several news reports like this."
"Go away, don't disturb the fortune teller."
Grandpa Zheng looked on expectantly, "Master, I don't have a photo, but I have a voice recording."
Lin Xi said, "Let it go."
Grandpa Zheng took off his reading glasses, opened his chat history, and played a voice message.
"Baby, remember to eat on time, or I'll worry!"
A sweet, delicate voice rang out, and Grandpa Zheng blushed. "Master, look."
Before Lin Xi could even speak, Aunt He next to her couldn't take it anymore, "My goodness! You actually believe such a fake voice, and it's called a baby?! I'm spitting out my food!"
Grandpa Zheng said with dissatisfaction, "I've spoken with Yinyin, and this is her real voice."
"Master, what do you say?"
Lin Xi remained expressionless. "The voice is real."
Now, Grandpa Zheng became smug. "Old woman, look!"
Lin Xi said calmly, "But a person may not be real. Let me look at your birth chart."
Grandpa Zheng gave out a few numbers.
Lin Xi calculated with her fingers and said, "Your birth chart has many Robbing Gods and Hurting Officers, making you easily deceived and prone to being wronged by petty people."
Grandma He stood tall and said, "Old Zheng, I advise you to stop now. If you really end up with no one to collect your body, where will you put your face?"
Grandpa Zheng was incredulous. "Master, how could Yinyin be a fraud? I still don't believe it."
Lin Xi said, "You'll have a surprise if you leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"I understand, Master."
Grandpa Zheng ran home, was sad for a little while, and then continued chatting with Yinyin.
After he left, Aunt He quietly asked, "Master, was it a pleasant surprise or a shock?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "Uncle Zheng will understand."
After their afternoon nap, the elderly people rushed over, and the area quickly became packed with them.
Qian Fugui stood in the crowd, craning his neck to look inside.
He simply couldn't stand it anymore.
The strategy of responding to all changes with the same approach is completely useless.
Ever since this little girl came to the antique street, Dedaotang's business has been declining day by day.
If things continue like this, Dedaotang will go bankrupt and close down sooner or later.
Qian Fugui planned to personally meet this little girl and show her what it meant to be—
There are always higher heavens and more capable people!
Qian Fugui stood there for the entire afternoon.
Lin Xi finished calculating the eighteen hexagrams. "There's only one hexagram left. I'll call it a day after that."
The blond-haired young man nudged Qian Fugui, "Master Qian, hurry up and go."
Qian Fugui was dozing off when he was suddenly pushed and rolled three times on the ground before falling at Lin Xi's feet.
Lin Xi glanced at him and said, "It's just a fortune telling, no need to give me such a grand gesture."
Qian Fugui: "..."
The elderly people were discussing it animatedly.
"Is this the rich kid from the Moral Hall?"
“Fugui’er has changed careers. He no longer fools people with fortune telling. Instead, he came to Master Lin.”
The blond-haired young man stood with his hands on his hips and shouted, "Master Qian, stand up! It's time to show your skills, you half-immortal! Give that little girl a good slap in the face and restore the reputation of Dedaotang!"
Aunt He teased, "Oh, Fugui'er, are you getting impatient? You want to challenge Master Lin? Don't you know your own limitations?"
Qian Fugui was extremely embarrassed.
He turned around and glared at the blond-haired young man.
What a useless and troublesome fellow!
With so many familiar faces here, what would happen if he lost? Where would he put his pride?
Qian Fugui had been studying Lin Xi's calculations all afternoon and was already considering backing down.
He hadn't planned to go forward, but now that the blond-haired young man had pushed him forward, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
Qian Fugui got up and straightened his clothes.
"You are that Master Lin, I...I...I want to challenge you."
Lin Xi said calmly, "Pay first for fortune telling, otherwise get out of here."
Qian Fugui obediently took out a thousand yuan, his confidence clearly lacking, "Is that okay now?"
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, "What kind of challenge?"
Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, Qian Fugui immediately backed down.
He knows his own limitations; this is no different from lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
