It was still early, Lin Xi finished her lunch and went back to the antique street to set up her stall.
The old men and women waved, “Master, how is Wanwan doing?”
Lin Xi knew they wanted to hear gossip and briefly told them the whole story.
The old lady clicked her tongue, “Online dating is harmful.”
An old man retorted, “It’s not online dating that’s harmful, it’s that bad person. Online dating isn’t all bad.”
He Da Ma glanced at him, “Lao Zhengtou, you’re so old, are you still online dating?”
Zheng Da Ye blushed, “Don’t talk nonsense, we’re not online dating, we’re dating.”
“Ee—”
He Da Ma sighed, “Lao Zhengtou, don’t lose your entire coffin lid, no one will collect your body when you die.”
Zheng Da Ye glared, “My old lady passed away over twenty years ago. What law says I can’t find another partner?”
He Da Ma shook her head, “A man with half his body in the ground, why would someone go for you? They’re not after your age, they’re not after your lack of bathing, they’re not after your smelly feet and mouth. They’re after the stinky money in your pocket!”
“You don’t understand anything!” Zheng Da Ye reminisced, “This is a twilight love.”
He Da Ma added, “You can’t even get it up, and you call it twilight love? Bah!”
Zheng Da Ye’s face turned green, “You, you, you…”
“You what?” He Da Ma put her hands on her hips, “Did I say something wrong?”
Zheng Da Ye was unconvinced, “Master Lin, you calculate it for me.”
Lin Xi cleared her throat, “Do you have a photo?”
Zheng Da Ye shook his head, “No, this is a spiritual connection, it’s not about appearance.”
“Young people call it… Platonic love.”
He Da Ma rolled her eyes, “Lao Zhengtou, you’ve definitely been tricked. It’s definitely a smelly, foot-scratching guy behind it. I’ve seen a lot of news like this.”
“Go, go, go, don’t disturb the Master from fortune-telling.”
Zheng Da Ye looked forward with anticipation, “Master, I don’t have a photo, but I have a voice message.”
Lin Xi said, “Play it.”
Zheng Da Ye took off his reading glasses, opened his chat history, and played a voice message.
“Baby~ Baby~~ Remember to eat on time~ Otherwise, I’ll be worried about you~ “
A sweet and delicate voice rang out, Zheng Da Ye’s old face flushed red, “Master, you see.”
Before Lin Xi could speak, He Da Ma couldn’t bear it anymore, “My goodness! You believe such a fake voice? Baby, I’m going to puke!”
Zheng Da Ye said unhappily, “I talked to Yin Yin, this is her real voice.”
“Master, what do you think?”
Lin Xi said expressionlessly, “The voice is real.”
Now, Zheng Da Ye was proud, “Old woman, you see.”
Lin Xi said calmly, “But the person may not be real. Let me look at your birth chart.”
Zheng Da Ye gave her several numbers.
Lin Xi calculated with her fingers, “Your birth chart has many competing and robbing elements, you are easily tricked and prone to encountering villains.”
He Da Ma stood up straight, “Lao Zhengtou, I advise you to stop this. If you really end up with no one to collect your body, where will you put your old face?”
Zheng Da Ye couldn’t believe it, “Master, how could Yin Yin be a scammer? I still don’t believe it.”
Lin Xi said, “You go out at six in the morning tomorrow, there will be a surprise.”
“I understand, Master.”
Zheng Da Ye ran home, grieved for a while, and continued chatting with Yin Yin.
After he left, He Da Ma quietly asked, “Master, is it a surprise or a fright?”
Lin Xi shook her head, “Zheng Da Ye will understand.”
After the old men and women had their afternoon nap, they all ran over, and the area was instantly crowded.
Qian Fugui stood in the crowd, craning his neck to look inside.
He couldn’t take it anymore.
The method of meeting force with force was useless.
Since this little girl came to the antique street, Dedao Hall’s business had been declining day by day.
If this continued, Dedao Hall would eventually go bankrupt and close down.
Qian Fugui decided to face this little girl himself and let her know what it meant to There’s always someone better than you!
Qian Fugui stood there for an entire afternoon.
Lin Xi finished eighteen readings, “There’s one last reading. I’ll pack up after this.”
The blond young man nudged Qian Fugui, “Master Qian, hurry up.”
Qian Fugui was dozing off when he was suddenly pushed, tumbling three times on the ground and falling at Lin Xi’s feet.
Lin Xi glanced at him, “It’s just a fortune-telling, you don’t need to perform such a grand ceremony for me.”
Qian Fugui: “…”
The old men and women whispered among themselves.
“Isn’t this Fugui from Dedao Hall?”
“Fugui has changed his ways, not fooling people into fortune-telling, but actually coming to find Master Lin.”
The blond young man put his hands on his hips and shouted, “Master Qian, get up! It’s time to show your skills as Qian the Half-Immortal. Slap that little girl’s face and restore Dedao Hall’s reputation!”
He Da Ma teased, “Oh, Fugui is in a hurry, wanting to challenge Master Lin? Do you know your own weight?”
Qian Fugui was extremely embarrassed.
He glared back at the blond young man.
A useless guy!
With so many familiar faces here, if he lost, where would he put his face?
Qian Fugui had already wanted to back down after watching Lin Xi for the entire afternoon.
He hadn’t intended to step forward, but now pushed by the blond young man, he could only grit his teeth and go.
Qian Fugui got up and straightened his clothes.
“You’re that Master Lin, I, I, I… I want to challenge you.”
Lin Xi said calmly, “Pay for the fortune-telling first, otherwise, get lost.”
Qian Fugui obediently took out 1,000 yuan, his confidence clearly lacking, “Is that alright now?”
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, “Challenge what?”
Seeing her calm demeanor, Qian Fugui immediately backed down.
He knew his own level; this was no different from picking up a stone to hit his own foot.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and Qian Fugui excitedly shouted, “Lottery!”
“As long as you can calculate the winning numbers for the next lottery, I’ll kneel down and become your disciple.”
Lin Xi smiled, “Firstly, you have no talent for metaphysics; you’re not qualified to join my school.”
“Secondly, you have no luck with windfalls, simply put, you’ll never win the lottery.”
“Finally, I can tell you the numbers, but whether you have the life to take this money, you can try!”
Cold sweat broke out on Qian Fugui’s back.
Damn! She meant try and die.
Qian Fugui instantly cowered.
He stiffened his neck, “I didn’t lose, you didn’t win, it’s a draw.”
Lin Xi weighed the 1,000 yuan in her hand, “You paid, so I’ll give you a reading.”
“Fugui, your forehead is dark, there’s a danger of bloodshed, be careful of trouble caused by your mouth.”
The smile on Qian Fugui’s face vanished.
Damn it! Wasn’t that what he often said?
Now, being said to his face by a colleague.
Qian Fugui felt awkward. He glanced at the onlookers and slipped away.
The blond young man quickly chased after him, “Master Qian, you’re Qian the Half-Immortal, how can you be such a coward?”
Qian Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Shut up! You made me lose face today! That little girl… hateful!”
The blond young man rolled his eyes, “Master Qian, why should we challenge her? We’ll just find someone to sabotage her stall. She’s small and weak, she can’t handle being scared.”
Before he finished speaking, he received a heavy punch, knocking over Qian Fugui next to him.
Qian Fugui hit his head, and blood flowed.
He sighed, “Truly, bloodshed.”
The blond young man exclaimed, “Ouch! Who hit me?”
Wu De, no, now Wu Qide, walked out of a small alley, “I haven’t settled the score from before, and you dare to target Master Lin?”
After changing his name, he sent an elderly man with dementia home.
The family, to thank him, had him work as a security guard in the community.
From now on, he would be a security guard, not loafing around, saving himself twenty years of detours.
Wu De was very grateful for Lin Xi’s advice, and he raised his fist.
The blond young man and Qian Fugui received a beating.
Qian Fugui cursed in his heart.
Useless! All thanks to this useless fellow!
He would turn over Sun Tzu’s Art of War and revive Dedao Hall!
