Chapter 14: Fortune Telling at a Stall
Imperial Capital, Under the Tongtian Bridge——
There were tables, and behind each sat an enigmatic old man with graying hair and beard, wearing sunglasses. Next to the tables were signs with phrases like "bringing good luck and warding off misfortune," "fortune-telling, and feng shui."
Just one glance and you can tell what kind of place this is.
After class, Zhong Nianyao went straight to the bottom of the Tongtian Bridge, opened the folding table she had brought with her, pulled out the small stool, and put up a sign on the table that read "Three fortune-tellings a day, only for those who are destined to meet."
After everything was set up, Zhong Nian Yao took out her cell phone and started playing.
Such an operation looks very confusing in the eyes of others.
The sudden appearance of such a young girl among a bunch of old men was already a very strange thing. Now the girl's behavior was even more confusing.
Especially judging from the girl's dress and temperament, it is not something that an ordinary family can raise. Such a girl does not look like she is short of money, so why would she come here to set up a stall?
Facing the strange looks from the people around her, Zhong Nian Yao acted as if she didn't notice anything and continued playing with her phone.
After arriving in this world, she was fascinated by everything, especially electronic gadgets. She had initially thought it would take a long time for her to master them. However, who could have imagined that the moment she started using them, she would instantly become proficient, as if she had already used them countless times.
After this period of time, she was really confused about why she was able to be reborn in this body. Moreover, although her soul and body had become a little unstable, for some reason, she always felt that she did not seem to have any excessive rejection of being reborn in this body. It was as if -
It was as if this body had always been hers.
Zhong Nianyao didn't dwell on all these coincidences and doubts. As the only descendant of Guiguzi's school, she didn't place too much emphasis on fate, simply letting things flow. Therefore, after arriving in this world, she didn't reject it too much, but quickly accepted this fact and adapted to it.
However, this unstable soul is definitely not a good thing. So, she decided to return to her old job, which would also allow her to accumulate some merit and stabilize her soul.
After finally being reborn, she wanted to live happily and didn't want to lose her life again. Next time, she wouldn't be so lucky to be reborn again.
Just as Zhong Nian Yao was playing with her mobile phone and daydreaming, an old man wearing a white Tang suit and with an unfathomable look on his face walked up to her stall.
"Old man, is there something wrong?" Zhong Nianyao looked up and said indifferently, "If you are fine, please move away. You are blocking my light."
Hearing such an obvious order to leave, the old man acted as if he hadn't heard anything and sat down directly opposite Zhong Nianyao. "Little girl, listen to my advice. This is not the place for you to come."
"Oh!" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Old man, why do you think I shouldn't come here? Don't I look like a fortune teller?"
Not at all.
Although the old man didn't say this out loud, the expression on his face clearly showed what he was thinking at the moment. "Little girl, you're not someone who needs money, so why are you so depressed?"
"Why am I so depressed?" Zhong Nianyao was not angry. "Old man, you calculate your fate, I calculate mine, there is no conflict between us, why do you have to persuade me?"
The old man was telling fortunes at the stall next to hers.
"Alas, you little girl, why don't you listen to advice!" The old man shook his head and said helplessly, "At your age, you should study hard in school. Why do you come out and do such a thing?"
"Old man, you are also a person with some skills. Why don't you take a look and see if I have such skills?"
She could tell that this old man wasn't some charlatan, but rather had some skills. Moreover, with those little skills, he should be doing quite well here.
However, the old man came to persuade her out of kindness and without any ill intention.
So, when facing the old man, she was not angry.
"you--"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, the old man couldn't help but hesitate. He was not sure whether such a young girl in front of him really had any real ability.
