Chapter 470: Fortune Telling Does Not Confer Oneself
In less than two hours, Kong Xiyan checked everyone Meng Xizhao had met in the past two days.
"Xiyan, are you busy?" The voice of the old Taoist priest came from outside the door.
"No." Kong Xiyan closed the screen, smiled, stood up and opened the door: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just this little Meng today..." The old Taoist priest walked in with his hands behind his back. "I don't quite understand what he was talking about marketing or something. I think you might need to pay more attention to this aspect."
"This is what I should do. Luo Lao San will also help. He knows more about this." Kong Xiyan nodded: "Master, do you have anything else?"
"Hmm... That's right... Actually, in your situation, Master has always been worried that you would suffer emotionally. After all, people nowadays can control their emotions, hide their malice, and express their love casually.
But you, on the other hand, can’t tell the difference.”
The old Taoist sighed and sat down on a nearby chair: "I didn't expect that either. You are either not smart at all or you are so eager to get your hands on me. That's not good!
Times have changed, and it’s no longer fashionable to enjoy the best of both worlds.”
"Master, what are you talking about?" Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched: "Did Hui'an and Huizhi show you some messed up stuff?"
"Nonsense! When has this master ever seen such nonsense?" The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at Kong Xiyan and pointed at his own eyes: "I saw it clearly today. That little Meng has feelings for you!"
"Master, he's just been acting so much that he's become a part of it." Kong Xiyan waved her hand casually, "Ignore him."
"You don't have that intention? That's fine. I think Xiao Luo is an honest kid. He listens to you." The master nodded. "That kid has good fortune in wealth, but not so much in family relationships. Be nice to him."
"Don't worry, Master, I'm so righteous!" Kong Xiyan patted her chest.
"Master, this is not the first day I've known you. You are a righteous person, but your way of thinking is rather... peculiar. Your way of solving problems is too intuitive. To put it nicely, it's straightforward, to put it bluntly, it's result-oriented. No matter what happens in the process, you don't care too much." The old Taoist sighed, "But judging from your situation now, it should be relieved.
It's good to have some relief. The better it is on your side, the worse it will be for those who are borrowing your luck.
The flow of luck in the world is conserved, it increases and decreases, and lasts forever.
Respond to ever-changing situations with the same unchanging attitude."
"Master, who borrowed my luck?" Kong Xiyan sat aside, leaning on the back of the chair, holding her chin with one hand: "I calculated it many times, but I couldn't figure it out."
"How dare you say that." The old Taoist raised his hand and patted Kong Xiyan's forehead: "Fortune telling doesn't include your own fortune. Did you forget this rule or did you do it on purpose?"
"Ouch." Kong Xiyan rubbed her forehead that was hurt by the slap and laughed dryly: "Listen to my excuse! I am counting the people who borrowed my luck, how can this be counted as me? This is counting on others!"
"He's connected to your destiny, so he can borrow your luck. What's the difference between calculating his luck and calculating your own luck?" The old Taoist rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop calculating. Calculating is useless."
"oh."
"Have you found out what I asked you to investigate at the Zhong family?"
"I found out." Kong Xiyan nodded. "The adopted daughter of the Zhong family is the princess of Xing Ertang. When I was three years old, I was blessed by her and protected by her. That's how I escaped danger in time and saved my life."
"Xing Ertang's princess is connected to the fate of the country. She is truly devoted to the Zhong family, which is why the fate of the country is connected." The old Taoist sighed, "What a pity! Several lives have been lost for her. The consequences of this are all on her shoulders. Otherwise..."
"Hmm? What does it mean to sacrifice several lives?" Kong Xiyan blinked: "Master, do you know something?"
"Are you brainless? How could a princess like her leave another country and end up in Nancheng if no one here risked their life to protect her?" The old Taoist priest flicked Kong Xiyan's head, causing it to burst.
"Ouch! Master! It hurts~" Kong Xiyan covered her forehead with both hands.
"I'm afraid your brain will rust from long-term disuse, so I'm here to help you get your blood flowing." The old Taoist priest chuckled, "I'm doing this for your own good. The Moon God Palace will be handed over to you in the future. What will happen if you become stupid?"
"Master, why did you have to give it to me? You know my situation. I only get interested in things for a short time." Kong Xiyan looked bitter.
"It's because I understand you that I want to hand it over to you." The old Taoist priest's eyes were deep. "Because, only you can protect the Moon God Palace."
"We live in a society ruled by law now. The Moon Goddess Palace is already a temple funded by the government. Who would still want to take over the Moon Goddess Palace? How narrow-minded!" After saying this, Kong Xiyan cursed Meng Xichao in her heart.
Only that idiot came here specifically to seek death.
"Anyway, whether you like it or not, you will complete the task perfectly as long as it is handed to you." The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "This is what your obsessive-compulsive disorder is like."
“???” Kong Xiyan tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face. This was her biological master!
"Hahaha~ cough cough cough." The old Taoist priest laughed too arrogantly and choked on the wind and started coughing again.
"Oh..." Kong Xiyan sighed and shook her head weakly, then poured another glass of water and handed it to him.
Forget it, dear Master, let it be.
The old Taoist priest drank some water and felt much better.
"Huh..." The old Taoist priest sighed and looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "Anyway, don't overthink it. Just relax and have fun when you're back. And what about marketing? Is that it?"
"Yes." Kong Xiyan nodded: "Marketing."
"Just do it well, and I'll be relieved!" The old Taoist priest stood up and sniffed: "Don't eat fried chicken in the house anymore, it smells bad."
Shaking his head, the old Taoist priest walked out.
Kong Xiyan escorted the old Taoist priest out the door: "Master, take care."
"Yeah." The old Taoist nodded, took two more steps, and suddenly stopped. He turned his back to Kong Xiyan and said, "Xiyan, you have to win~"
"Okay." Kong Xiyan agreed subconsciously, and then asked, "Win what?"
The old Taoist priest didn't answer her, but just continued walking out with a smile.
After going down the stairs, the old Taoist priest was humming the tune of a popular divine song when his cell phone suddenly rang.
[Om Mani Padme Hum~Om Mani Padme Hum~~]
After glancing at the caller ID, the old Taoist priest hung up immediately: "Huh, a call from abroad? It must be a scam!"
With his hands behind his back, the old Taoist continued to walk forward, still humming a tune.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the Master was looking at his phone, his brows slightly furrowed.
Why didn’t senior brother answer his call?
