The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 603: The Fortune-Telling Master Moonlights as a Scammer
The little trickster was chewing on a chicken bone, eyeing Liu Zixuan with one big eye and one small eye: "What? You want to hit me?"
Liu Zixuan wiped the grease off his mouth with a napkin from the side and smiled: "The word ’hit’ isn’t quite right. For someone like you, I think ’beat up’ is more suitable!"
"Ha! I’m not afraid of you!"
The little trickster spit out the chicken bone and said arrogantly: "Let me tell you, besides fortune-telling, I also hustle people. You hit me once, and I’ll have you pay till you’re bankrupt!"
Pfft!
Liu Zixuan thought this guy wanted to spar with him for a bit but didn’t expect him to come out with this.
Such a sudden absurdity, it almost gave Liu Zixuan a backache!
Really made him want to spit out a mouthful of salty soda at him.
He finished the last few bites of noodles with his chopsticks, "I can’t be bothered with your nonsense. Your tricks might work on those ignorant people, but not in front of me."
Seeing Liu Zixuan heading to the counter to pay, the little trickster said slowly: "You’re from Celestial Capital, and the place you’re going is Celestial Fate City."
Liu Zixuan stopped but didn’t turn around because this highway led from Celestial Capital to Celestial Fate City, which wasn’t hard to guess.
Then the little trickster continued: "There’s a hint of murderous intent between your brows, as if you’ve just been through a great battle, and you’re heading south to have a conflict with someone, and the trigger of that conflict comes from a woman..."
As he said this, the little trickster stroked his chin and laughed: "And she’s a stunning beauty!"
Liu Zixuan was completely petrified on the spot. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Could this little trickster really have some skills?
He turned back to the chair and sat down again: "How do you know?"
"I’m hungry!" The little trickster patted his stomach.
"Waiter, bring another round of what I just had!" Liu Zixuan snapped his fingers at the waiter.
The little trickster crossed his legs and held up two fingers.
Liu Zixuan took out a cigarette but didn’t give one to the little trickster, instead lighting it for himself.
"Don’t give me that nonsense, I don’t have the patience for it!" Liu Zixuan said coldly.
Sensing that Liu Zixuan wasn’t someone to be messed with, since he could tell that Liu Zixuan had just been in a battle, the little trickster dared not sweet-talk him.
The little trickster pouted, picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it himself, and said through the smoke: "You’re strong, I don’t fuss with you, but what I said is true, Tai Shang Laojun is really my ancestor."
"Speak properly!" Liu Zixuan said in a deep voice.
The little trickster paused: "Master taught me fortune-telling, just looking at faces to see something."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes. He had always said that in the Star Sea Land, there are all kinds of remarkable people.
Martial Artists, Wise Men, Healers, these are what the public knows about, but there are also some more esoteric ones.
For example, the Six Gates which the madman Zhou belonged to, the top three and the bottom three all dealt with tombs and were quite skilled in Mechanical Technique.
There are even more unconventional, or rather, ones that people have been skeptical of in recent years but do exist, like the Fortune Telling Skill the little trickster just mentioned.
Fortune Telling Skill is roughly divided into: Zi Wei Dou Shu, face reading and palmistry, Eight Trigrams and Six Lines, Qimen Dunjia, geomancy, and so on.
Of course, these are quite profound, some people collectively call it Mysticism.
Real Mysticism does exist, like the Eight Trigrams and Six Lines, face reading, and palmistry.
However, nowadays, very few people truly understand these, many just read a few books or have some basic knowledge, then set up a stall in some park entrance or bustling area, pretending to be some fortune-telling master, reading palms and casting lots for people.
This has led to more and more people being deceived, and over time, this very mysterious field of study has been labeled as superstitious fraud.
His beautiful master once told Liu Zixuan that a true master of mystical fortune-telling can even predict the future, like the High Priest in the Celestial City Seven-Star Tomb.
Looking at the little trickster in front, who is only in his twenties, yet he can talk about Liu Zixuan’s affairs, it seems like he has learned orthodox Mysticism.
Raising his eyebrows, he asked: "Besides what you just said, what else can you see?"
The little trickster grinned slyly: "Want the truth or a lie?"
"What do you think?" Liu Zixuan said with a teasing smile.
"The truth is, that’s it!" The little trickster shrugged: "I’ve only learned for a few years myself, and I wanted to learn more, but my master that old guy taught me halfway and then kicked the bucket, what else can I do!"
The little trickster had just put on a decent show in front of the middle-aged couple, but now he was acting all nonchalant.
The waiter brought up the dishes, and just as he was about to gorge himself, Liu Zixuan asked curiously: "Do you usually swindle people here?"
"Hey hey hey!" The little trickster was immediately disgruntled: "I make money using real skills, how is that swindling? Yes, that so-called secret recipe for having children just now was to fool people, but you stopped it, didn’t you."
At this point, the little trickster suddenly grinned, grabbed Liu Zixuan’s hand, and said: "But I met you!"
"So what if you met me?" Liu Zixuan asked with a half-smile.
"Look, I understand fortune-telling, you understand Medical Skills, we can totally collaborate."
The little trickster said enthusiastically: "I’m telling you, many rich people have all sorts of luxury illnesses, I can use Fortune Telling Skill to intimidate them, you use Medical Skill to treat them, we can make a lot of money, and in the future, we can strut around in Qian Nan Land without a problem."
"By then, you can ride in luxury cars, live in high-rise buildings?" Liu Zixuan sneered.
"Look at your low ambition!" The little trickster said with disdain: "Nowadays it’s popular to fly airplanes and ride ships, and then find a rich and beautiful woman, that’s the real peak of life!"
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead: "Well, you can keep dreaming. I have no interest in such shady acts."
Saying this, Liu Zixuan went to the counter to pay. Now that he was full, it was time to hit the road again, aiming to reach Celestial Fate City by noon.
When he returned from the counter, the little trickster had already followed him: "Consider my proposal. We can discuss profit-sharing. Together, we can definitely form a super awesome team!"
"Not interested!" Liu Zixuan directly opened the car door. But to his surprise, the little trickster immediately jumped into the back seat.
"Are you clinging to me now?" Liu Zixuan cursed unhappily.
"You’re going to Celestial Fate City, and I’m going there too. Sharing a ride with you isn’t that stingy, right!" The little trickster lay down directly, muttering: "You focus on driving, I’ll take a little nap first..."
Well, seems like I’ve got this guy on my hands now...
