Chapter 173
With Fang Jianye gone, there were no outsiders left in the Qin family. Qin Lide wanted to ask Qin Su about the fortune-telling.
Qin Su didn't answer directly, but instead asked with a smile, "Does Grandpa think I have talent?"
Qin Lide paused: "I didn't see anything about you before, but today... did you see the connection between Fang Jianye and the statue before I did the divination?"
Qin Su nodded and replied, "Yes."
Qin Lide asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Qin Su said, "It's obvious, you can tell at a glance."
Qin Lide observed her face for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "Have you opened your third eye? Do you feel anything?"
This is something that outsiders can't tell.
Qin Su was talking nonsense: "I don't know, but I'm pretty powerful now. Maybe the Heavenly Dao gave me a special favor."
Qin Lide: "...Nonsense."
However, the matter of cultivating the Tao is indeed very much about fate and destiny. Sometimes, when luck comes, it is more important than anything else.
It would be normal for his granddaughter to have other good fortune.
Qin Lide came to terms with it and stopped dwelling on the matter. He chatted and ate with Qin Su, and then they each went back to their rooms to sleep when it was time to leave.
As soon as the door closed, Xiaolong flew out of Qin Su's sleeve, placed its claws on her clothes, and rubbed its head against her cheek: "Xiangxiang, mine."
Qin Su touched him perfunctorily: "Yours, yours."
The little dragon happily wrapped its tail around her waist: "Then I don't want to stay in your sleeve tomorrow."
Qin Su flatly refused: "That won't work unless you become human."
Xiao Long looked at her with his red eyes, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.
Qin Su thought for a moment and coaxed him, "Do you know that there is an ancient story called 'hiding a beauty in a golden house'? It means putting your precious and beloved person in a room made of gold. See, isn't it similar to keeping your person in your sleeve?"
Xiaolong isn't smart enough right now, so she managed to coax him into nodding reluctantly.
Qin Su smiled, pinched the dragon claw, and asked, "A day has passed, have you remembered anything?"
Xiao Long thought hard for a moment: "I remembered... Su Su."
"And my name is Ye, Ye..." He kept saying "Ye" for a long time, but couldn't think of the next word.
Qin Su completed the sentence for him: "Ye Yan".
Xiao Long felt the name sounded strangely familiar, and then realized, "So my name is Ye Yan."
He belatedly realized, "Did we know each other before?"
Qin Su glanced at him: "Of course I know him, otherwise do you think I would just let any dragon into my house?"
Xiao Long said in frustration, "But I don't remember any of it."
"It's better if you don't remember." Qin Su chuckled, "Let me experience the feeling of being a pure-hearted dragon king's little sweetheart for a few more days."
Xiao Long didn't understand and stared at her blankly.
Qin Su: "Hmm, or perhaps a domineering celestial master and a pure-hearted dragon?"
Xiao Long was even more confused: "What does 'Overbearing Celestial Master, Pure-Hearted Dragon' mean?"
Qin Su laughed, kissed his dragon horns, and watched him become dizzy: "That's the idea. Okay, go to sleep."
She turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness, leaving Xiaolong deep in thought for half the night before finally figuring things out.
oh--
It means mating!

The next day, while Qin Su was helping Qin Lide water the flowers and prune the leaves, Fang Jianye's mother had just hung up the phone with her son.
“…Oh, I see. It’s all thanks to Master Qin and his little granddaughter. You’ll have to give them a generous reward.” Fang Jianye’s mother earnestly instructed, “I heard that Master Qin was very capable when I was still in Hongqi Town. You should take a look.”
"Alright, alright, your dad and I are perfectly healthy, nothing's going on at home, you go ahead with your work." She pushed her phone aside and called to her three card-playing friends at the table, "Okay, let's continue playing."
The card players were all curious after hearing her talk about temples and the Flower Goddess Master Qin on the phone.
"Is this Jianye? What have you been up to lately? You sound so mysterious."
"Alas, it's all old news." This matter is nothing to be ashamed of; on the contrary, it has a bit of a predestined connection with the immortals. Fang Jianye's mother did not shy away from telling the truth about her son's experiences these days.
The card players listened with astonishment, as if hearing a story.
One of the women, Mrs. Wang, was already somewhat of a believer in these things, and after hearing this, she became even more interested and inquired, "Does that Master Qin live far from here? Is it convenient for me to visit him?"
Fang Jianye's mother said, "It's far away. Our hometown is in H province, more than a thousand kilometers away. If there's something going on, it's worth making a special trip. If there's nothing going on, don't bother."
Mrs. Wang agreed, and had no choice but to put the idea aside for the time being.
But after playing mahjong and returning home, she still mentioned it to her husband at the dinner table.
"We know Fang Jianye's family well, so he can't possibly be a fraud. I think that Master Qin is probably a master. Why don't we go to H province for the National Day holiday and visit this master while we're there?"
Mrs. Wang's husband frowned: "I don't know if he'll be free during the National Day holiday. Didn't you say that Master Qin has a granddaughter who's doing some kind of live stream? What's her name?"
"Oh, right, Fang Jianye said he wanted his family to follow him and send some live stream gifts. I followed him today too." Mrs. Wang quickly checked her phone. "Found it, it's called Gengsheng."
The two were whispering to each other on the unfamiliar live stream page, unaware that their grandson, Wang Linyan, who was in high school, had already pricked up his ears to listen.
He pretended to finish his meal and go back to his room to do his homework. He peeked out from behind him and saw the streamer's name. After going upstairs, he immediately locked the door and searched for and followed the streamer.
The Tomato Live platform allows users to view past live stream videos. Qin Su has hidden all her previous singing videos; the only one visible on her homepage is the one where she calculated Shi Cheng's marriage prospects.
After reading it, Wang Linyan felt that Qin Su was even more amazing, and immediately sent a message to his deskmate.
[Are you there, Sister Cheng? It's urgent. DM me.]
His deskmate replied instantly: 【?】
Wang Linyan: [I heard about a highly skilled fortune teller from my family! The kind who's incredibly insightful! His granddaughter does fortune telling online, and she seems quite amazing. She's going to be giving away fortune readings again the day after tomorrow. How about we go together and try our luck? If we win, she can tell your fortune!]
His deskmate; [...]
Who among respectable people would livestream fortune telling online?
Wang Linyan: [Sharing a screenshot of the streamer's page (jpg). Look how accurate her predictions were the day before yesterday!]
His deskmate replied after a while: "[It's acting, right? This is obviously scripted. Are you some kind of naive fool who believes this? I suggest this streamer become a star, don't waste your good looks on this kind of superficial stuff.]"
Wang Linyan: [Give it a try, Sister Cheng. It won't hurt to try. How about I pay for it?]
His deskmate: [。]
Wang Linyan: [I'm begging you, okay?]
His deskmate stopped replying.
Wang Linyan sent "Sister Cheng" several times, but the other party ignored him.
Wang Linyan snapped, "Do you really want to be called a jinx? You're so outstanding, you do everything so well, why should you be bullied like this, Cheng Yue!"
The screen displays "The other party is typing..."
Wang Linyan waited a while before receiving news from Cheng Yue.
Maybe I'm just a jinx.
