Chapter 49 Two Things
After leaving Zuixianlou, Wang Ye headed eastward and headed straight for the overpass.
Tianqiao is one of the most prosperous places in Jinling City.
Performers and hawkers can be seen everywhere, and there is an endless stream of tourists and foreigners.
All kinds of people come and go here, and it is bustling with people.
After passing through the bustling crowd, Wang Ye stopped in front of a fortune-telling stall.
This fortune-telling stall was set up on the side of the road, with a table set up and a white cloth banner hanging above it, with four big characters written on it: Immortal pointing the way!
Under the white cloth banner, a thin old man in black clothes sat at the table, waiting for customers to come.
The old man was thin and had gray eyes. He looked very scary at first glance.
This old man is the fortune teller Blind Chen.
Seeing the appearance of Blind Chen, Wang Ye raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
If we talk about Blind Chen's fortune-telling ability, it is all based on his mouth.
But this old blind man sits on this overpass every day to tell fortunes. He can meet people from all walks of life and has the best information.
Many unknown things can be found in him.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye sat directly in front of the fortune-telling stall.
"Mr. Chen, how is the business today?"
Sitting in front of the fortune-telling stall, Wang Ye spoke.
"That voice sounds familiar!"
Hearing this, Blind Chen's ears twitched, and he grinned, revealing a smile uglier than crying: "I think it's Shopkeeper Wang from Zuixianlou!"
"That's great, Mr. Chen. You can actually recognize my voice!"
After hearing what Blind Chen said, Wang Ye said with a smile.
"That's right. I have practiced for many years and have reached a profound level of cultivation. I have already reached the level of a semi-immortal."
In response to Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen's smile became even more presumptuous: "Isn't it easy to distinguish your voice?"
As he spoke, Blind Chen stroked his goatee in an attempt to look profound.
It was as if he was really an otherworldly master.
"Just pull it off!"
After hearing what Blind Chen said, Wang Ye rolled his eyes and looked disdainful: "If you were a half-immortal, would you still need to set up a stall here to tell fortunes?"
"Were you the one who was chased around by a dog a while ago?!"
"cough!"
As soon as Wang Ye said this, Blind Chen coughed and said, "That's not called being chased by a dog, that's called transcending the tribulation... It's the business of a cultivator... You don't understand!"
"You know, the Jade Emperor also went through many hardships before he attained enlightenment..."
Having said that, Blind Chen began to change the subject.
"Alright, alright...you're getting more and more ridiculous...then the calamity that the Jade Emperor had to endure was being chased by a dog?"
As he spoke, Wang Ye waved his hand, looking a little impatient: "Let me ask you something!"
"Three taels of silver for each question"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen quickly stretched out three fingers.
"Hey, you blind man!"
Wang Ye immediately lost his temper at the price offered by Blind Chen. He glared and said, "Isn't it just two taels of silver?"
"I was chased by a dog a while ago... and I got injured when I was trying to overcome the tribulation."
As he spoke, Blind Chen's impudent smile became even more vulgar.
Damn it!
After hearing what Blind Chen said, Wang Ye felt helpless.
It turns out that this old blind man also included the cost of medicine and soup when he was chased by a dog a while ago !
Damn it, I’m usually very careful with my money, but I got tricked by this old man.
Although he was unhappy, Wang Ye was also extremely helpless.
After all, looking at the huge city of Jinling, there are really few people who are better-informed than this old blind man.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye took out two pieces of silver and handed them to Blind Chen unhappily: "Alright, you old blind man, here are six taels of silver. I have two questions!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang!"
After receiving the money, Blind Chen quickly put the silver into his arms and said, "I wonder what Manager Wang wants to ask?"
"first question……"
Looking at the wretched expression of Blind Chen in front of him, Wang Ye said, "What on earth has happened in Jinling City recently? Why do people from the martial arts underworld come here so frequently?"
"Manager Wang, are you scared when you see gangsters coming into your store?"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen stroked his goatee and spoke slowly.
"Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Wang Ye sighed and said, "I only have Zuixianlou as my property, and I'm counting on it for my retirement. Nowadays, people from the martial arts world and gangs keep coming here and there, and I don't want to be implicated and become the second Yuelai Inn..."
"Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, don't worry."
Blind Chen nodded to Wang Ye's words and said, "There is nothing serious in Jinling City. The reason why the underworld martial artists came here is for two reasons!"
"What two reasons?"
Hearing this, Wang Ye asked.
“This is the third question…”
Hearing Wang Ye's question, Blind Chen stroked his goatee and said leisurely, "It costs extra money!"
"Hey, you blind man, are you asking for a higher price?!"
After hearing what Blind Chen said, Wang Ye's eyes widened: "How come this is the third question?"
"You're not telling fortunes anymore, you're just lying now, right?!"
"Manager Wang, you misunderstood."
Looking at Wang Ye's appearance, Blind Chen stroked his goatee and said, "First you asked me what happened in Jinling City. This is the first question..."
"Then you asked me why there are so many martial arts gangsters coming here. This is the second question."
"Plus what you just asked, isn't this the third question? It's time to add more money."
As he spoke, an obscene smile appeared on Blind Chen's face.
Damn it!
After hearing what Blind Chen said, Wang Ye was immediately helpless.
Although this blind man Chen is blind, he is quite capable when it comes to calculating.
Reluctantly taking out three taels of silver and placing them in Blind Chen's hand, Wang Ye said, "Here's the money, hurry up and tell me!"
"Okay!"
After touching the silver, Blind Chen responded and continued, "The first thing is the retreat meeting of Holy Fire Sect leader Li Huaikong, who is retiring from the underworld!"
Holy Fire Cult?
Li Huaikong?
Hearing this, Wang Ye was slightly stunned.
Li Huaikong can be considered an old acquaintance. Wang Ye had some dealings with him when he was still the leader of the Demon Cult. Unexpectedly, he is now going to retire.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye just curled his lips and didn't think much about it.
Now he has already faked his death and retired from the world, so these things have nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye looked at Blind Chen in front of him and asked, "What about the second one?"
“Hehehehe!”
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Blind Chen instantly gave a lewd smile.
However, he stretched out his skinny hand towards Wang Ye and said with a wretched smile: "Manager Wang, this is the fourth question. According to the rules, you have to pay more!"
"Hey, you blind man!"
After hearing the word "add money" again, Wang Ye lost his composure completely.
But he suddenly stood up and said, "You're not done yet, are you?"
