Su Nanxi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had guessed correctly, and it really was the original owner's enemy who had come to kill her?
He felt a pang of panic, but his expression remained unchanged. He didn't believe the monk at all and wanted to provoke him.
"Aren't you supposed to be a fortune teller? Don't you know this? Look at us, the lowest rungs of society. Being able to eat our fill and stay warm is already our greatest satisfaction! That Duke's Mansion, just hearing its name makes you sound like a wealthy family. It has absolutely nothing to do with us! How did it get involved in a marriage? Is that a marriage we can even dream of? You can't even come up with a better reason for lying!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement. That's right, these are things that don't even come together, so why are they being forced together?
When the monk saw that no one believed him, he became anxious. He really didn't have the strength to speak anymore. He had already used up all his strength just now, and now even breathing was difficult!
He told the truth, but nobody believed him. Why are these people so hard to convince?
The divination shows that it is indeed this group of people!
The time and place are both correct, and even the descriptions are exactly the same!
That's right!
He was very confident in his divination skills!
As for what specific changes might occur, he didn't consult the oracle.
He wasn't a brainless person. The marriage of a daughter of the Duke's family would definitely only be considered by wealthy and noble families. It was all about matching social status. Correspondingly, the family background of his rival would certainly not be bad either!
If you want to take something away, the best way is to make the other party disappear. This is what people in the capital love to do most!
Anyway, he has already taken on several such orders. Although the previous ones were not from big companies and the money paid was not much, it shows that this is roughly how the upper circle does things!
For their own benefit, all sorts of scheming and framing have become commonplace!
He was able to get this job because he can tell fortunes!
Since he gained some fame, his value has increased, he has been able to access more high-society circles, and more people have sought his fortune-telling services.
But he doesn't take just any job. He depends on the situation. If he urgently needs money and is in a good mood, he'll take the job without much consideration!
He does all these things in private, and for this he has multiple identities, which he can switch at any time according to different needs!
Why did he take this job? Because of a personal grudge he had, he accepted it without hesitation.
Moreover, he has already performed an accurate divination, so there's no way he's wrong!
The person he wanted to kill was a woman who was ugly and skilled in martial arts. He had already learned all this information before he came, and it matched the ugly woman in front of him perfectly!
What's wrong with that!
He had heard that the other party was a very clever person who knew how to use various advantages. If he wasn't mistaken, then the other party must have been disguising themselves!
The monk resolutely refused to admit that his divination was wrong, saying, "I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"
Su Nanxi realized the crucial question: "You divined where we would meet, but what makes you think I'm the person you're supposed to kill? And can you even divine what the other person looks like?"
The monk was parched and extremely uncomfortable. He desperately wanted to beg them for some water, but his pride wouldn't allow him to lower himself. He could only endure it, hoping to get rid of these people as soon as possible.
Whether he succeeds in killing him or not, he must escape first and then figure out a way to escape later!
These people are so twisted, they specialize in torturing people!
He was completely exhausted. When Su Nanxi asked, he spoke very softly, “The other party told me that the person I’m going to kill is very ugly, has scars on his face, and knows martial arts!”
Su Nanxi's forehead creased with annoyance. "Pah! Your whole family is ugly!"
To conclude that it's her based on just these facts is too arbitrary!
Don't you ever think about whether there might be a coincidence?
Seeing someone and assuming they're the person they're looking for, without even checking, they just start killing. They really don't value other people's lives!
Su Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief; it shouldn't be the original owner's enemy.
The original owner of this body was not ugly, but since arriving at the border, no one has seen her true appearance again.
If the original owner's enemies knew about the original owner's situation, they would have been uneasy and would have attacked long ago. But nothing happened. It is estimated that those people standing at the highest point had no idea whether the original owner's appearance had changed.
Thinking about how miserable the original owner was, forced to marry into a poor, uncouth family in the mountains, those people must have been so smug, because the more beautiful you are, the more miserable you will be at the bottom of society!
Even if she didn't die, beauty is still a kind of original sin!
What the monk is saying now doesn't match what the original owner said.
It's obvious they're discussing marriage, and someone's trying to interfere and steal their wedding. That just means the two families are on good terms!
The original owner had been missing for so long that even if there was a good marriage planned, it would have fallen through long ago.
She's probably already been replaced and married off!
It was all driven by self-interest; otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic state!
If you want to climb to the top, you can't let any opportunity slip by!
When someone dies, the living must continue, so filling the void and taking advantage of the situation are common occurrences.
Therefore, Su Nanxi felt that it was probably not the original owner's enemy. Nine times out of ten, the monk was mistaken, or the person he wanted to kill was nearby or in the crowd!
Thinking of this, Su Nanxi immediately got up, carefully observed her surroundings, and then looked into the crowd.
I noticed a few unfamiliar faces in the crowd, their heads down, making it difficult to see their features clearly, but they were dressed in the coarse cloth of farmers.
The people following Su Nanxi also noticed, but seeing that Su Nanxi seemed lost in thought, remaining silent and making no other moves, they instantly understood and pretended not to know anything!
Whether what you say is true or false, it has little to do with us! I can tell you with certainty that you have the wrong person! We are not pretending, we are genuine peasants who fled from a faraway place and are just passing through this area.
If what you're saying is true, and I'm a wealthy young lady, why would I suffer like this, pretending to be a peasant? A young lady like me would definitely travel on the official road, escorted by highly skilled guards! Don't you even open your eyes and take a good look? We have old people, children, the sick, and the disabled among us!"
Su Nanxi pretended to be very angry and even hummed a few times, full of sarcasm, which was basically a slap in the face to the monk.
Divination won't work, and it'll blind you!
The monk was furious, but he couldn't do anything; he didn't even have the strength to speak.
But inside he was screaming, he hadn't miscalculated!
That young lady must be too cunning, using a switcheroo to deceive everyone!
Or perhaps the young lady simply refuses to admit it!
The monk believed that Su Nanxi himself was unwilling to acknowledge his identity, not that his divination had gone wrong!
"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you! You've wasted so much of our time! We're hungry, thirsty, and exhausted! Xiao Wu, give him the antidote! We're leaving now."
After Su Nanxi finished speaking, she told everyone to pack up and get ready to leave.
"Where is the antidote for the previous poison?"
"There's no antidote for that! Consider it the price for your recklessness!"
