Chapter 519 Renowned in the Divination World! The Lin Family Seeks Emperor Ying's Favor [2 Updates]
Master Lou felt as if he were frozen in place, unable to move.
But clearly, apart from where he was standing, there was no sign of wind anywhere else.
This is a formation!
Diviners can use formations to perform simple rituals like summoning wind and rain.
Just like some ancient rain-praying rituals.
But he had no idea when a formation had appeared here!
Master Lou was filled with shock and horror.
At this moment, Ying Zijing moved her hand.
"Click".
With a crisp sound, the wooden sword shattered.
At that moment, the wind suddenly picked up.
The fortune tellers around could clearly see that Master Lou's short black hair was turning white at a visible speed.
This is the body's vital energy being depleted!
Lou Wenhai is 72 years old this year, but his hair is still black, and now he looks normal again.
His future luck has truly been taken away.
Therefore, his physical essence was also consumed prematurely.
"You, you—" Master Lou naturally sensed it too. He suddenly looked up at the girl, both shocked and furious, "Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"
Ying Zijing's expression remained unchanged. She lowered her voice and chuckled softly, "Who am I?"
"I would have known even if you didn't tell me!" Lou Wenhai's fingers kept calculating, faster and faster, but in an instant, he suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood.
People around exclaimed in surprise: "Master Lou!"
Master Lou opened his mouth, blood trickling down the corner of his lips. His eyes widened: "For—"
He didn't finish his question before collapsing heavily to the ground.
Before he completely lost consciousness, Master Lou had only one thought.
Why can't he figure it out?!
Moreover, why did he suffer such a severe backlash simply for calculating someone's name?!
Even when he helped a family change the fate of the entire family before, nothing like this had ever happened.
"..."
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Ying Zijing only broke a wooden sword.
She didn't look at Master Lou lying on the ground, but walked outside.
The others instinctively made way for them.
Only after the girl left did everyone realize what had happened, and they panicked.
"master!"
"Master, please wait!"
"Master! Please accept me as your disciple!"
But when they caught up with her, the girl had already disappeared.
A middle-aged man stopped in his tracks, gasped, and murmured, "This is a true master..."
Compared to him, what is Lou Wenhai?
This will shake the entire Chinese fortune-telling community.

At the foot of the mountain.
In May, she took some snacks from the party and left with Ying Zijin.
She had seen everything that had happened before.
"Holy crap!" Fifth Month suddenly blurted out, "Miss, is it because he calculated your name that he ended up like this?"
Ying Zijing brushed the dust off her sleeve and raised an eyebrow: "That's why I told you, don't count it, and if you do, don't count me."
She had gone to great lengths to change Wu Yue's fate, and she didn't want Wu Yue to follow in Wu Shaoxian's footsteps because of her divination.
"Oh my god." Fifth Month choked on her snack. "Never mind, never mind, I won't count you unless it's absolutely necessary."
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "But when did you set up the formation?"
The most annoying thing in May is setting up formations, because the books on this subject are very complicated.
"Didn't you notice that after I led you inside, we walked around the whole thing?"
"Wow, I thought you were taking me for a walk so I could burn more calories and eat more, but it turns out you were setting up a trap."
"Mr. Chuan, I think Wu Yue can memorize a few more books." Ying Zijing held her phone and called Wu Chuan. "What do you think of 'The Book of Dwellings' and 'The Treasure Mirror of Poverty and Prosperity'?"
"The House Classic" is about feng shui, while "The Treasure Mirror of Fortune" is about divination.
Upon hearing this, Fifth Chuan on the other end of the phone nodded repeatedly, as if he had found a kindred spirit: "Grandmaster thinks so too? Just like me."
“I’ve already printed the book for her. I originally planned to wait for Xiaofeng, Xiaohua, and Xiaoxue to come back from their training so they could memorize it together. But since Master said that, it’s better to let Yueyue memorize it first.”
After all, May was really disobedient, so we had to force her to memorize her lessons.
Here, just as Wu Yue finished eating her second pastry, she received a call from Wu Chuan.
After listening, she forced a smile: "Grandpa, the wind is so strong, I can't hear you—"
"There's no wind today." Ying Zijing glanced thoughtfully at the sky, her voice soft. "It's a good day for memorizing texts."
"..."

The news that the Judicial Hall was going to re-elect a new enshrined figure had also spread among the major families in the ancient martial arts world.
The Lin, Xie, and Yue families each have one representative to participate in the offering election.
The candidate chosen from the Lin family is Lin Jinyun's younger brother.
Lin Jinyun attaches great importance to this offering election.
Upon returning from the courthouse, he immediately summoned the butler: "Where is Lou Wenhai? I need to speak with him."
Since Fifth Hui offended someone and had his divination abilities abolished by the Fifth family, the Lin family has lost a personal fortune teller.
Lou Wenhai was also one of the Lin family's personal fortune tellers.
The Lin family wasn't as lucky as the Xie family, who had a fortune teller like the Xie family's eldest elder, so they had to recruit people.
There are actually quite a few fortune tellers in China, most of whom live in seclusion. It is very possible that there is a powerful fortune teller in a small county town.
The reason the Lin family encountered An Roujin and Lin Qingjia outside was that they were actually recruiting fortune tellers, but unexpectedly they met a martial arts genius.
The steward said respectfully, "Master, Master Lou is in the mortal world. A while ago, a celebrity invited him, but he went out and hasn't returned yet."
A fortune teller of Lou Wenhai's caliber is quite well-known in the industry, and many people would ask him for help.
“Okay.” Lin Jinyun nodded. “Have him come back as soon as possible and discuss the matter of this year’s offering election.”
The housekeeper immediately contacted Lou Wenhai.
A dozen minutes later, he ran back, looking flustered: "Master, something's happened! Master Lou is in the hospital!"
Lin Jinyun frowned: "What's going on?"
The steward recounted what had happened on Jade Pine Mountain, trembling as he said, "It's caused a sensation in the fortune-telling world."
This surprised not only Lin Jinyun, but even the Grand Elder: "Is there really such a person?"
To defeat Lou Wenhai, a fortune-telling master, so subtly and quietly, could only be done by a fortune teller himself.
He's even stronger than Lou Wenhai!
He is even more powerful than the eldest elder of the Xie family.
The First Elder asked solemnly, "Could it be a junior from the Fifth Family?"
The saying that fortune tellers become more skilled with age is not entirely wrong, because they have so much to learn.
Only families with a long tradition of divination have the resources to cultivate such talents.
“Reporting to the Elder, no.” The steward wiped his sweat. “But according to some fortune tellers at the gathering, they seemed to have seen the figure of Miss Yue from the Fifth Family, but that master was definitely not her.”
The elder frowned.
This isn't the fifth one. When did such a young fortune teller appear in the world of divination?
According to the housekeeper, they were not fortune tellers from O continent.
"Jinyun, we must invite this master into the Lin family." The First Elder turned to look at Lin Jinyun, paused, and said, "If we don't act, the Xie family and the Yue family will definitely make their move."
"The Yue family need not worry, but we absolutely cannot allow the Xie family to gain another ally."
Lin Jinyun nodded: "Definitely."

The fifth ancestral home.
Li Han waited until Ying Zijin returned before she stood up and asked, "Junior Sister Ying, the master you mentioned?"
Ying Zijin nodded slightly: "She vomited blood, fainted, and was hospitalized. I don't know how she is now."
There was a cause and effect at play; her actions only made Lou Wenhai less lucky and unlucky.
Who knew he would want to calculate her name.
Li Han: "???"
Forgive her, she's just a college student; she really doesn't understand metaphysics.
Li Han spoke again: "Junior Sister Ying, it's getting late, let me take you home."
"No need," Ying Zijing shook her head. "I'll take you."
"I don't need to see you off." Li Han waved her hand, glancing at her phone. "Tsk, look, you called me again."
"Junior Sister Ying, do you want to go to the hospital? I'll put on a one-person debate for you."
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly: "I'd really like to see."
"Let's go." Li Han sneered. "I'll go see what they're planning to do now that they can't borrow the luck."
Thirty minutes later, the two arrived at the Imperial Capital Hospital.
Li Wenxuan is still unconscious, but he is finally out of danger.
Li's father also tried to contact Master Lou, but couldn't get through at all, which made him very anxious.
Li's mother sat on the edge of the bed, wiping away tears.
She noticed, without realizing it, that there were several cracks on the jade pendant hanging around Li Wenxuan's neck.
Mother Li's expression changed: "Husband, look, look quickly, borrowing luck..."
Mr. Li looked over, was stunned, and before he could speak, applause rang out at the door of the ward.
"What? You can't borrow luck anymore, and that's why it's like this?"
Mother Li's heart skipped a beat: "Xiao Han, we..."
"I thought it was something serious." Li Han clicked his tongue in surprise. "He's dead, and you're all here mourning?"
Father Li's face turned ashen: "You scoundrel! What are you saying?!"
"Let me tell you something, don't even think about borrowing my luck." Li Han wasn't angry; instead, he smiled. "You can't borrow it anymore. Your family has nothing to do with me. Remember that."
At that moment, Father Li understood. He was shocked and furious: "You're the one who canceled the borrowed luck?!"
"It's just a matter of a little luck for you. Doesn't your brother's life matter?" Mother Li burst into tears. "You just lack a little luck, but your brother's life is gone. How could you be so cruel?"
My editor asked me to film a one-minute talent show video today, and I'm completely stumped. I don't know what to do since I have absolutely no talent. :)
Let me demonstrate how to weld a plate.
