Chapter 31 - Running Away with the Bucket
Before any cultivators came to tell fortunes, Fan Jianqiang looked sly, his small eyes rolling around, but at this moment, he had a simple, honest, and serious look.
“This guest is extraordinary.”
He said solemnly, “May I know what you want to know?”
“Simple.”
Wu Xingyun responded lightly, “You can tell me what I am thinking right now.”
Lin Fan watched quietly from the side.
The people queuing behind were somewhat dissatisfied.
“Are you making trouble?”
“This girl, you are making things difficult, aren’t you?”
“A woman’s heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea. If you want to know the past and the future, perhaps the master can find some clues, but you ask him to tell your thoughts. How can he possibly know?”
“Even the roundworms in the stomach can’t do it, right?”
They had been here for a long time and already knew that this person’s calculations were incredibly accurate. Naturally, they did not want Wu Xingyun to ruin his business.
“Noisy.”
Wu Xingyun was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. The aura of a Cave Heaven realm cultivator only leaked a little, causing their pupils to shrink and retreat, not daring to say anything more.
“Calculate it.”
She stared straight at Fan Jianqiang and spoke again.
Fan Jianqiang looked at her deeply, then used six copper coins for divination, but after calculating, he did not say a word, and directly ran away with the bucket.
He picked up the canvas with the words ‘Iron Mouth Direct Judgment’ written on it and left, his steps extremely fast, as if he was running for his life.
“Why are you running?”
Wu Xingyun was surprised and called him to stop, but he ran faster.
Lin Fan was secretly surprised: “This guy… has some skills.”
“Stop!”
Wu Xingyun flashed and blocked Fan Jianqiang’s path.
“You haven’t told me what I’m thinking.”
“Is there a need to say?” Fan Jianqiang said helplessly: “Isn’t what I did obvious enough?”
“You want to beat me. If I don’t run, am I waiting to be beaten by you?”
He actually figured it out!
Wu Xingyun was surprised.
She was a Cave Heaven realm cultivator, and he was an ordinary person…
Even without mentioning the difference in strength and ’cause and effect’, he could actually figure out what she was thinking. This person had a problem! A big problem!
He was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Lin Fan also followed slowly, even more surprised in his heart.
This guy actually figured out what others were thinking?!
Could it be that he could also see through his thoughts?
He pondered slightly, then stepped forward: “Sir, please don’t blame us. We two want to find someone, but this person is extraordinary, so we first gave a difficult problem. The facts prove that sir is indeed a truly capable person.”
“We would like to ask sir to do another divination. After it is done, the divination fee will be presented together. How about it?”
While saying these words, Lin Fan’s mind was extremely active.
He even cursed secretly in his heart: “Your mother is a maid.”
At the same time, he stared closely at the other party’s face.
He saw that the other party did not have any reaction and could not help but feel a little relieved.
At least it proved that he did not have any mind-reading skills. Even if he could know other people’s thoughts, he had to set up an altar for divination. Since this was the case, there was no need to worry too much.
“Finding someone?”
Fan Jianqiang’s expression was slightly better, although this was not his original appearance.
“Then I want double the divination fee.”
“Okay.”
Lin Fan nodded.
“Since that’s the case, come on.”
“You write a word.”
Fan Jianqiang said, “Character testing.”
“Character testing?”
He was not unfamiliar with it.
Lin Fan pondered slightly and wrote the character ‘慎’ (shèn), meaning cautious.
Fan Jianqiang’s eyes flashed, then he looked at Lin Fan deeply before pondering: “This person, it is easy to find and also difficult to find.”
“Oh?”
Lin Fan’s mind turned: “Why is this?”
Fan Jianqiang did not respond and said again: “Not enough clues, I have to calculate again.”
“Why are you looking for this person?”
“We want to accept him as a disciple.”
Lin Fan did not hide anything.
“…Why?” At this moment, it was Fan Jianqiang’s turn to be surprised.
What shocked him even more was that he could not calculate any origin of Lin Fan with his face reading technique! It was like a chaos, or it was like it did not belong to this ancient history, and he could not find any trace related to him!
But this shock was well concealed by him.
“This person is destined to be with our sect.”
“But whether to become a disciple or not requires mutual consent. How can you be sure that the other party will agree?”
“I’m not sure, but I’m just doing my best and striving with heart.”
“If he agrees, it will naturally be a happy ending for everyone. If he does not agree… then I can only say that there is no fate.”
These were all true words!
Although in Fan Jianqiang’s eyes, there was a void behind Lin Fan, and he could not calculate anything, he could still distinguish whether the words spoken were true or false.
Therefore, he continued to chat.
“Oh? Then may I know which sect you are from?”
“Embracing Moon Sect.”
Lin Fan still did not hide anything. He even vaguely guessed something.
Judging from the master’s means of even discerning people’s hearts just now, he should not need to understand so much information just to find someone.
Obviously, the person in front of him was either acquainted with Fan Jianqiang and wanted to check for him.
Or…
But, was it such a coincidence?
“Embracing Moon Sect?”
Fan Jianqiang smiled slightly and shook his head: “You must know that a good bird chooses a tree to perch on. If I have not calculated wrongly, the person you want to find has a good talent. If he intends to join a immortal sect, even if he cannot go to a holy land or a first-rate famous sect, it is not difficult to enter a top-ranked second-rate sect.”
“Then why choose the third-rate bottom… Moon Gazing Sect?”
“In my opinion, you should give up.”
“If it was the peak period of your Embracing Moon Sect, there might be some possibility.”
“Unfortunately~~~”
“Or rather, what makes you think that you can succeed?”
Lin Fan also smiled.
“If the peak cannot be retained, then we will walk the road we came from again.”
“These words may be very arrogant, and even somewhat ridiculous in your opinion, but we have always been striding forward on this road, and we have already walked a distance.”
“As for what we rely on? We currently have no strengths, only this sincere heart.”
“Moreover, as you said, if he is willing to join the sect, he should have already joined. Why is he still a casual cultivator now?”
“Obviously, he is also waiting, or waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a suitable sect. Of course, it is also possible that he is unwilling to join a sect and be bound by the sect.”
“But… I want to try.”
“Trying may not succeed, but not trying is destined to fail, isn’t it?”
Fan Jianqiang was moved.
Especially the sentence, “If the peak cannot be retained, then we will walk the road we came from again,” which made his expression change one after another. The way he looked at Lin Fan was also extremely complicated.
Melancholy, shock, disbelief, and even… a trace of surprise.
He wanted to speak countless times, but in the end, he held back.
He just took a deep breath and said, “I have calculated it.”
“Oh?”
Wu Xingyun’s face lit up: “Where is this person?”
Although she did not know what kind of background this person had, since he could meet one of the sect rules, he must be extraordinary.
“Far away in the sky, close in front of you.”
Fan Jianqiang whispered.
Wu Xingyun was stunned.
Lin Fan smiled: “It’s really you.”
“How did you find me?” Fan Jianqiang was puzzled: “My disguise technique should be pretty good.”
“Fate.”
“You are destined to be with my sect~!”
