Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 544 Another Coin

As it turns out, although Song Kezi was wicked, he was also very good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

When others seem mentally unstable, he immediately becomes polite and knows his place.

The way Zhu Wuyao smiled at him and ate the xiaolongbao made Song Kezi feel a little scared, as if he was about to be punished again.

So, the steamed bun really shut him up.

After that, Song Kezi didn't say anything out of line.

The two wandered through the town and cast two more divinations. Just as they were about to head out of the town to their next destination, Zhu Wuyao suddenly stopped. A short while later, someone rushed over.

It was the man who left in anger.

He stepped forward, bowed, and said to Zhu Wuyao, "Daoist Master, may I have a divination performed for you?"

Earlier, although Song Kezi's words were harsh, they also revealed that the two of them had real skills, and the man realized this after calming down.

Therefore, they hurriedly searched for the two people and finally found out that they had gone downstairs, so they quickly chased after them.

Seeing the nervousness and slight trepidation in his eyes, and sensing his underlying expectation, Song Kezi immediately understood something and smiled, as if she had encountered something interesting—

“Hahahahaha!

"Zhu Wuyao, quickly tell his fortune! Quick, tell his fortune! Hahahaha!"

Song Kezi laughed so hard he almost fell over, leaving Zhu Wuyao somewhat puzzled.

She looked at the nervous man, handed him the Xuan paper and charcoal sticks, and said:

"Write any character."

The man clenched his fingers, carefully wrote the character "贵" (gui, meaning expensive), and handed it back to Zhu Wuyao, saying:

"Master, I want you to predict my future wealth and fortune."

Zhu Wuyao paused as she took the note. Song Kezi's laughter hadn't stopped, so she frowned and smiled, seemingly mocking herself.

The Celestial Observation Technique was activated, and spiritual energy flowed through the character "贵" (noble/precious).

The man's eyes shone with anticipation, yet he seemed somewhat uneasy. This word "noble" represented his greatest expectation for the future; he longed for wealth, success, and to be superior to others.

"The character '贵' (guì) is derived from the image of holding something in both hands and using farming tools to cultivate the land. Your choice of this character is excellent. It means that through diligence and honesty, one can create wealth with their own hands."

The man snatched the note in disbelief and said:

"Impossible! You fake Taoist priest, how could you deceive people like this!"

He suddenly became angry, his temper flaring up in the blink of an eye. His sincerity from just moments before seemed to vanish into thin air, and his face flushed red, even more furious than when he was facing Song Kezi during the day.

Zhu Wuyao's honest words angered him even more than Song Kezi's malicious curses.

Her gaze turned cold as she looked at the man shouting and yelling, and she said calmly:

"Give me money."

"You stinking Taoist priest, your predictions are completely inaccurate! Why should I give you money? Get lost!"

Song Kezi, unaware of what had happened, sat cross-legged to the side, watching the spectacle unfold with great interest. He rested his chin on his hand, watching the man about to leave and the note spontaneously combust without any wind.

He saw a look of horror on the man's face. After realizing that the Taoist was a cultivator, the man immediately became gentle and polite, took out his money bag, and handed it to Zhu Wuyao with both hands.

Song Kezi saw that Zhu Wuyao had retrieved a coin for divination.

They saw the man tumble and crawl into the city gate.

He laughed:

"Zhu Wuyao, I said it long ago, he should die with his man, he's just a menace if he's alive!"

"It's only because I ran into you that I was able to get my money back. If it were anyone else in this situation, they wouldn't have the power to ask for their money back... Oh dear, Luoye Yaoqiu is so naive. Why did you stop and wait for him just now?"

"Could it be that he's worried about his lover and the safety of others? Hahahaha!"

"You actually stopped! You're practically asking for a beating!"

After he finished laughing, Zhu Wuyao said:

"Let's go."

Song Kezi was extremely adept at swaying people's hearts. Those who were not like Gu Yiguan and Zhu Wuyao, who had already seen the world, were easily misled by him because he was sometimes right.

Zhu Wuyao did not teach him the noble idea of ​​turning back from the wrong path.

Putting aside the fact that Song Kezi is inherently evil, just looking at how he has been with Gu Yiguan for so many years and is still the same, you know there's no chance.

Zhu Wuyao acknowledges the existence of evil within people. Regarding the debate between "human nature is inherently evil" and "human nature is inherently good," she recalled seeing an objective assessment in her past life—

Human nature is inherently selfish.

She and Song Kezi walked towards the outskirts of the city, heading towards their next destination.

Song Kezi, however, kept his head down and hurried on his way, pondering the reason why Zhu Wuyao had cast the divination. He became even more convinced that there was some extraordinary reason behind it—

Today, when the man came to have his fortune told, he cursed and disrupted Zhu Wuyao's business, but she was not angry.

While it cannot be ruled out that she knew the man would return, the possibility that she "cast the divination for someone with a specific purpose" is greatly reduced.

This kind of passive behavior is like gambling on luck... What exactly is she hoping for?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Zhu Wuyao is currently communicating with Lingbi.

What is Zhang Zhihan doing?

Lingbi pulled up the surveillance camera footage, which showed Zhang Zhihan farming in a remote, impoverished area, working diligently and honestly, with a large white goose helping him, running back and forth.

An endless array unfolds.

A vision of Zhang Zhihan and a different future emerged in my consciousness.

Her actions of arranging cause and effect through endless forms require something that provides a feedback "result".

Since the wooden box was handed over, Zhu Wuyao has been unable to receive any news from Ge Mingsheng, and because there is no way to get feedback, he is unable to know Mingzhu's current situation.

It wasn't until she seized the purple aura and discovered Zhang Zhihan that she had a way to obtain information about the Juque Sect.

Through Zhang Zhihan, we can also try to get information about Ge Mingsheng and Mingzhu.

A moment later, she looked up at the fruit trees not far away.

Under Song Kezi's bewildered gaze, he struck out with his palm, and the fruits fell in a flurry.

Song Kezi was somewhat bewildered, but he still happily ran over, picked up all the fallen fruit, and put them into his storage bag. He took a bite with delight, but his expression changed drastically.

"It's...it's poisonous! You're trying to kill me!"

"Where's the water? Where's the water! It's so sour!"

Zhu Wuyao watched Song Kezi jumping around and understood. This wild fruit could even attack cultivators. No wonder it made the wandering knight who stayed here not long after get angry and cut a nick in his sword.

Now, the fruit has been picked up by Song Kezi, and the swords of any wandering knights who pass through this place in the future will be sharp when they leave.

Subtle changes may not alter the crucial points of anyone's fate, nor will they invite divine intervention, but they can ultimately lead to drastically different outcomes.

This leads Zhang Zhihan and Ge Mingsheng towards the future where they meet.

“Gulp gulp—”

Song Kezi tilted his head back to drink the water, then looked angrily at Zhu Wuyao and said:

"I knew you were angry. You deliberately found a very sour fruit tree to lure me to pick and eat it, just to get revenge on me!"

"You're so mean!"

Song Kezi doesn't hesitate to assume the worst about everyone.
