Chapter 1537: Because of worry about her safety
While Gu Ning was talking, Qiao Ya poured a cup of tea for the fortune teller, put it down, and went out, closing the door.
"What are you doing going to that piece of land?" asked the fortune-teller, his face becoming serious.
"This is my business. Just tell me why you are here." Gu Ning said, unwilling to say the purpose of his going to the construction site. Of course, it was because he was unhappy with the sudden arrival of the fortune-teller, so he was a little angry and deliberately didn't say it.
After all, her purpose there was not really a secret, except for the encounter with the male ghost and the things she knew.
Gu Ning was reluctant to talk, so the fortune teller didn't force him, but he asked another question: "Okay, before you went there, have you ever heard of any evil places?"
"I've heard of it," Gu Ning replied.
"Do you believe that there are really evil things there? Or have you encountered any strange things?" asked the fortune teller.
"What if I believe it? What if I don't believe it? What if I encounter it? What if I don't encounter it?" Gu Ning asked back.
How could the fortune-teller not see that Gu Ning was targeting him! He smiled helplessly: "Girl, I know you blame me for coming here suddenly. If you don't want me to tell your fortune, I won't do it either. But I'm looking for you this time because I have something important to tell you. Can you cooperate with me?"
In fact, it’s not that he didn’t want to calculate Gu Ning’s fate, but he only saw a little bit of Gu Ning’s fate, and couldn’t see the rest at all.
If it was really easy to see through her, I would have seen a lot of things after meeting her once or twice before.
Hearing the fortune teller's words, Gu Ning's unhappiness eased a lot, and his tone naturally became much gentler: "Just dream about me, what's wrong with that."
"Okay! Then I'll tell you directly, but this kind of thing may be hard to believe and accept, so even if you can't believe it and accept it, you have to listen to me." The fortune-teller didn't know that Gu Ning still knew about the existence of ghosts and gods, so he was a little worried that Gu Ning would not be able to accept it, so he gave him a shot of prevention in advance.
"Yeah," Gu Ning responded.
"Not long ago, an ancient tomb was discovered at that construction site. Although it was not a big tomb, a dried corpse wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty was dug out from the tomb. I went to see it at that time and calculated some things from it, so some cause and effect were formed. Then I also went to the purpose of that tomb to take a look and found that the soul of the dried corpse was trapped there, but I was still inexperienced and could do nothing about it. Then yesterday, I suddenly felt that the dried corpse had changed, so I went to see it, and the dried corpse actually began to decay..."
The fortune-teller looked at Gu Ning's reaction as he spoke. Seeing that she didn't react, he was a little surprised, but also a little relieved. He continued, "I wanted to investigate what was going on, so I took out some hair from the mummy and performed some magic. Then at night I dreamed that you had been to that construction site a few days ago. Then in the early morning, I went to the construction site again and saw that the mummy's soul was gone, so I suspected that the disappearance of that soul was related to your appearance. Then my first reaction was that you might be possessed by that soul. I was worried about your safety, so I asked someone to investigate your whereabouts. When I learned that you were here, I rashly broke in."
After the fortune teller finished speaking, Gu Ning's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he was extremely surprised.
Although I knew that the fortune-teller was capable, I was still surprised after hearing it with my own ears.
Also, the fortune teller insisted on seeing her for her safety. Suddenly, Gu Ning felt guilty for being rude to the fortune teller just now.
"Old man, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were forcing your way in because of my safety, so I was giving you a cold shoulder just now." Gu Ning is not a pretentious person, nor is she someone who cares too much about face. If she was wrong, she was wrong, and she was not afraid of apologizing or facing the consequences. Even the cold shoulder she gave you just now was understandable.
And she did not doubt the truthfulness of the old man's words. She could still tell whether they were true or false.
"Do you believe what I say?"
The fortune-teller didn't care about Gu Ning's attitude towards him. After all, he was indeed reckless. However, he was surprised by Gu Ning's calmness and composure when he heard his words, not surprise, shock, fear or disbelief.
Could it be that she also knew these things? Although he guessed so, the fortune-teller didn't believe it, because this was not something that ordinary people could know.
But why can she be so calm? "Are you telling the truth?" Gu Ning asked instead of answering.
"Of course it's true," the fortune teller replied, as if he was afraid that Gu Ning wouldn't believe it, and he looked very certain and affirmative.
"Since what you said is true, then I believe it." Gu Ning said, but the fact that he didn't show any surprise or unacceptable reaction made the fortune teller feel weird.
"Then why aren't you surprised, shocked, or scared?" the fortune-teller asked. Shouldn't ordinary people be surprised, shocked, scared, and unbelievable when they hear that these things exist? But Gu Ning's reaction was as if he knew that these things existed.
"You think that ghost possessed me. Now that you have seen me, do you see a ghost in my body?" Gu Ning did not directly answer the fortune teller's question, but changed the subject and asked.
The male ghost was in her body, but he was not possessed. Instead, he was received by her in the Jade Pupil Space. She was confident that the fortune teller could not see it.
"No, if I had seen it, would I still be able to talk to you calmly?" Upon hearing this, the fortune-teller replied, but he did not forget his doubts because of Gu Ning's change of subject. He continued to ask: "Hey! Girl, can you tell me why you were not surprised, shocked or unbelievable when you heard about the existence of ghosts!"
"Because I once met a charlatan who told me about ghosts and gods. So, I was shocked, astonished and unbelievable. When I heard it again, I didn't feel anything. It's just that I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Gu Ning said perfunctorily.
Hearing this, the fortune teller felt that it made sense. Although Gu Ning was a mortal, she was not an ordinary mortal. With her abilities, strong concentration was a must.
"Then why did you go to that construction site?" the fortune-teller asked curiously, thinking, could it be that you heard about the construction site and were curious so you went to check it out?
This time, Gu Ning did not refuse to answer, and said, "Because I have my eyes on that piece of land and want to buy it to build a hotel, but there are rumors of strange things happening there, so I went to see if it is true."
