Prophetic Ability

Chi Shuyan saw all her products on sale sold out to the four people. Yang Hongsheng and Su Yeran even almost rolled up their sleeves and fought over the remaining talisman. Chi Shuyan was caught between laughter and tears. "Take it easy guys. How many do you want to hoard? Besides, there's a low probability of running into a ghost."

"Master Chi, don't underestimate yourself. We really aren't making allowances for your business. There are many of us in the family, so a share will be gone at once," Su Yeran said with a smile.

Yang Hongsheng also nodded in agreement. "My parents went to the temple to ask for talismans and each cost tens of thousands. Although they were somewhat useful, your talismans are far more useful. Take for example my relative not long ago. He asked me for a Safety Talisman. As a result, he was the only one who was unharmed when several cars were involved in a tailgating accident. The others were more or less injured. You know, from his position, not to mention being injured, he could have died."

"Is the Safety Talisman that effective? Then, give me a share." Zhou Kunxiong mostly bought Ghost Ward Talismans. Because of the shadow left from that female ghost's possession, all he bought were Ghost Ward Talismans. Hearing Yang Hongsheng's story, his eyes lit up. He really didn't know that the Peace talisman could also prevent car accidents.

Yang Hongsheng mourned, "I still don't think it's enough. Big brother, Fourth Brother seems to have snapped up quite a lot."

Zhou Kunxiong turned to Su Yeran, who glared at Yang Hongsheng and negotiated, "Big Brother, there are quite a few kids in my family. How about I give you two?"

Zhou Kunxiong rolled his eyes. "I'll exchange it for Ghost Ward Talismans. You two will each give a third of yours."

"I second that. I think you guys snapped most of them up." Dong Junming also didn't mind dabbling.

Su Yeran and Yang Hongsheng wept: "…" They'd never seen such a trade coercion. But, who let him be the Big Brother? There was also Fourth Brother's blind meddling.

Chi Shuyan spoke to them just about enough to know the culprit who had orchestrated this whole thing, before she got up and bade them goodbye. The four didn't insist on detaining her as they knew that she had to take the college entrance exam soon.

The four waited until Chi Shuyan left before also deciding to go home.

"Brother." A feminine voice came, and Yang Chenchen ran over with a smile, greeting the other three eagerly, "Brother Kunxiong, Brother Yeran, Brother Junming. Are you leaving?"

When Yang Hongsheng saw Yang Chenchen, his smile dimmed a bit. "Yes, we're leaving. Isn't it time for class? Aren't you going back to class yet?"

Seeing that her cousin was still cold and indifferent to her, Yang Chenchen was somewhat lost. "This is a self-study period. It's fine as long as I finish my homework." Then, she turned to the other three. "Brother Kunxiong, what are you guys doing here? Would you like me to show you around?"

"No need. We're here to see a friend," Zhou Kunxiong lifted his wrist and spoke flatly. He looked at his watch and said to Yang Hongsheng, "Second Brother, you guys chat. We three will wait for you outside."

Su Yeran and Dong Junming nodded towards Yang Chenchen and left together with Zhou Kunxiong.

Yang Chenchen spaced out looking at the three departing backs, feeling a bit dejected, but she could understand. Her brother's three friends weren't easy to approach in the past either.

After all, these three weren't ordinary people and from big households, so it was normal for them to be arrogant and aloof, but she had just seen them treating Chi Shuyan graciously as if they were good friends. Their friendship was way out, but when she got close, the three didn't even bother to pay her any attention.

"Brother, when are you free for dinner at my house? You haven't been to my house for a long time." Yang Chenchen adjusted her mood and acted cutely with Yang Hongsheng.

"Chenchen, next time. I have to leave now." Yang Hongsheng sighed. He didn't know how to get along with this cousin now. He used to be fond of her, but since she had offended that man, their family's business had been hit hard, and his parents had started warning him to stop associating with Yang Chenchen's family.

"Oh, well then, goodbye, brother." Yang Chenchen looked sadly at Yang Hongsheng's back. The clear reproach in her cousin's eyes bewildered her. She had offended too many people, but she had no idea who exactly she had offended to become like this. Yang Chenchen sighed, turned around, and was about to leave when that profound and handsome face suddenly popped in her mind. An alarming thought suddenly struck her. Could it be him?

Chi Shuyan carried her backpack, stuffed a large White Rabbit candy into her mouth, and stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus. After waiting for a long time, she gradually fell into her own thoughts.

She recalled her encounter with Feng Yanli today and the images, where Feng Yanli and Wu Wenyun's mother teamed up to plot against her, suddenly flashed in her mind. Zhou Kunxiong and the others' visit to the school later confirmed that the prediction in her mind was true.

Chi Shuyan knitted her eyebrows, somewhat perplexed. Although she was a Celestial Master, she wasn't proficient at fortune-telling. She never really fancied studying it before, just because genuine fortune tellers mostly had the Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies repercussions.

The so-called Five Disadvantages were nothing more than "widower, widowed, loneliness, solitude, and disability." The Three Deficiencies to put them plainly were the lack of "money, life and power". Because fortune-telling pried too much on Heaven's Will, it could easily result in divine punishment.

Chi Shuyan had been forced to be a fortune teller a few times before, but she knew her skills were passable. She could work out some generalizations and antecedents, in other terms, what was going to happen, but there was no way she could really predict the divine future.

She wasn't sure if this change was considered a good or bad one, but it was a bit of a wake-up call. Living a new life, she was more in awe of the Heavens than in her previous life. It seemed that she'd better reduce telling others' fortunes later on. If she became disabled in any way, she wouldn't be able to cry even if she wanted to.

"Hi, just got out of school? What a coincidence!" A manly voice suddenly interrupted Chi Shuyan's musings.

Chi Shuyan unconsciously turned her head and saw a car parked beside her. The window rolled down, revealing a handsome face.

Zhu Bocheng took off his sunglasses, with a smile at the corner of his lips. "What are you staring at? The bus has left."

Chi Shuyan immediately turned her head to the left. Indeed, the bus had left while she was lost in her thoughts.

"Get in, I'll take you back," Zhu Bocheng offered.

Chi Shuyan initially wanted to refuse, but looking at Zhu Bocheng, a question suddenly crossed her mind. In her previous life, she had had many dealings with the Qi family in the capital, but she had never seen Zhu Bocheng before. Judging from his familiarity with Qi Zhenbai, Zhu Bocheng should have also been the son from an influential family. Could it be that he couldn't bear the blow of Qi Zhenbai's death and had gone abroad?

Chi Shuyan hesitated and got in the car.

Zhu Bocheng thought he would have to spend some time persuading her. He didn't expect this girl to be unsuspecting, so he chuckled, saying, "Do you get in the car when someone asks you to? Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?" She's too obedient.

Chi Shuyan smiled without replying.

Zhu Bocheng thought that Chi Shuyan was shy, so he warned her even more emphatically not to just get into someone else's car, that he was different.

"How are you different?"

"Of course, I'm different. I'm more than a gentleman." Zhu Bocheng said mouthily, "I'm not like those fancy schlocks out there. It's other people who have improper thoughts towards me."

Chi Shuyan giggled. This man was so amusing. She was just about to speak when she suddenly saw a black mist flitting around Zhu Bocheng's body. Her smile vanished in an instant.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You're staring stupidly." Zhu Bocheng stopped at a traffic light intersection and noticed that something was off with Chi Shuyan's face. He was puzzled by her staring at him.

Chi Shuyan shook her head and smiled. "Nothing."

Zhu Bocheng dropped Chi Shuyan off at the community. When she was about to get out of the car, Zhu Bocheng suddenly grabbed her bag and said, "Hey, let's add each other on WeChat."

Chi Shuyan stiffened abruptly. Her large, round, feline eyes widened and she turned to look at Zhu Bocheng in horror, while a series of images flashed rapidly in her mind.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Bocheng looked at Chi Shuyan and quickly let go, thinking he had scared her. But did he look so scary?

The moment he let go, the images on Chi Shuyan's mind were cut off. She looked down, got out of the car and watched Zhu Bocheng drive away.

Zhu Bocheng was baffled. Something was strange about Chi Shuyan just now. Glancing from the rearview mirror, he saw that the round-eyed, little girl was still standing on the spot in a daze. Zhu Bocheng's heart thumped erratically. He suddenly adjusted the mirror and examined his own handsome face. Could it be that I'm too handsome so the little girl is smitten?

Zhu Bocheng nodded decisively, definitely.
