Chapter 189
The recent buzz surrounding Qingyuan Sect was indeed quite remarkable.
...
Before long.
Li Mo, accompanied by Ying Bing and Jiang Chulong, left the small courtyard and headed towards Hengyun Sword City.
A thin mist hung in the air; though it hadn’t rained, a short walk would leave their clothes damp.
The streets were still bustling with people, but many of the wandering heroes had vanished.
They had all gone to Hengyun Sword City to attend lectures.
Their teacher was still on the way.
Every session of Sword Heroes featured a seven-day series of teachings in the Sword City.
Jiang Chulong, carrying a small basket on her back, kept her little eyes scanning the ground. Whenever she spotted discarded bottles, broken kites, or torn clothes, she would pick them up before hurrying to catch up.
Her small figure flickered in and out of sight amidst the mist.
Ying Bing, on the other hand, seemed to glide through the air, her skirt dancing lightly, exuding an ethereal charm.
As they ascended the mountainside towards the Sword City, the trio passed by a solitary pavilion.
Inside, there was a figure.
“Excuse me, would you like me to read your fortune?”
The voice of a woman drifted over.
Chapter 202: The Auspicious Wife Has Been Found
The woman’s voice was ethereal, and when one listened closely, it seemed almost indistinct.
Turning towards the sound, they could vaguely make out the silhouette of a woman.
Ying Bing’s delicate brows twitched slightly, her expression as calm as ever.
She had once believed that fate was in her own hands.
Yet, in the vastness of heaven and earth, there indeed existed mysterious and wondrous divination techniques.
Thus, she held a mindset of “believe it if you will, dismiss it if you won’t.”
Li Mo gazed at the woman in the distance, feeling a stir in his heart.
He wasn’t particularly interested in fortune-telling.
After all, he had already possessed the Heavenly Fate Divine Eye, though he couldn’t discern his own destiny.
What concerned him was the recent incident with Brother Ouyang; it was hard not to be on guard.
Besides, they were quite close to the Sword City...
Little Princess Jiang blinked her grayish-white eyes, seemingly lost in thought, her delicate ears turning slightly red.
Could matters of love...
Be divined as well?
“Shall we take a look?”
Li Mo asked.
Ying Bing remained noncommittal, while Jiang Chulong nodded eagerly.
The three entered the pavilion.
Only then did they realize that this so-called fortune-teller was indeed a young woman.
Her attire was both ancient and exquisite; her looks were above average, but her eyes were particularly deep and captivating.
Aside from a banner reading “The Immortal Points the Way,” she had all the necessary tools for fortune-telling.
“You’re quite different from what I imagined a fortune-teller to be,” Li Mo said as he settled onto a stool.
“Mortals peering into heavenly secrets indeed cannot escape the five flaws and three deficiencies,” the woman replied with a faint smile, not disputing his observation.
She didn’t glance at Ying Bing or Jiang Chulong but instead fixed her gaze directly on Li Mo, her eyes momentarily shimmering before dimming again.
“Palmistry, physiognomy, or the Eight Characters of Birth—what would you like to know, young master?”
“Let’s go with palmistry,” Li Mo said casually, extending his hand.
The woman nodded slightly, taking his palm and lowering her gaze to examine it.
At that moment, a fleeting light flickered in Li Mo’s eyes, revealing the brilliance of the Heavenly Fate Divine Eye.
[Name: Tian Miao]
[Age: 21]
[Root Bone: A rare physique from Heluo.]
[Realm: Observing the Divine, Ninth Heaven.]
[Fate: Ashen Gold]
[Evaluation: A prodigy of the contemporary Yantian Sect, ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List, a genius practicing the “Heavenly Evolution Divine Book,” yet all his cultivation stems from ‘fate.’]
[Recent Encounter: Under the orders of the current sect leader of Yantian Sect, she descended the mountain to seek the ‘Mars’ that disrupts heavenly secrets, and dared not use her Heavenly Eye technique casually, hence she casually took over a fortune-telling stall this morning, intending to return it later.]
Mars?
A wanderer of Yantian Sect?
Li Mo was momentarily taken aback; this woman had such a background.
He couldn’t see his own fate.
Could she perhaps glimpse something?
“Your lines are shallow yet chaotic; your fate seems to be fraught with disasters and illnesses.”
“From the three lines of heaven, earth, and man, it appears you were born into a moderately well-off family, yet your fortune is lacking, making a good ending difficult…”
Listening to her words, Li Mo glanced at his system space, feeling quite stable.
This fortune-telling didn’t seem very accurate.
“This person…”
Ying Bing’s gaze flickered, as if she recognized the woman.
What she said aligned perfectly with what she had seen in her previous life.
But in this life, it was completely off.
“Ah?”
Jiang Chulong exclaimed, her voice rising in panic.
“How could this... how could it be like this?”
The woman shook her head slightly, her gaze softening as she looked at Jiang Chulong, then said, “This art of fortune-telling, I only learned this morning, so it may not be accurate.”
“Why don’t I take a look at your physiognomy instead?”
Li Mo: “…”
A wanderer of Yantian Sect, just learned the art—how novel.
Oh, so the fortune-telling tools were all taken from another fortune-teller this morning; that’s fine then.
“Let’s take a look then.”
“Alright.”
The woman leaned in a bit closer, examining his face.
“The heavenly court is full yet unfulfilled; this is a sign of fortune without fate…”
She continued to speak several phrases.
None of them were particularly uplifting.
Halfway through, she suddenly paused, her expression turning strange.
“Do I have no merits at all?”
“You do.”
“Well, that’s good... What aspects are better?”
“You bring good fortune to your wife.”
“.....”
Li Mo fell into deep thought.
Is that really such a niche trait?
Ying Bing: “?”
Do you even realize what you’re saying?
Jiang Chulong: “!!”
Li Da Ge truly... truly is a... what was it... treasure boy?
That was a term her teacher had taught her; she wasn’t sure if it fit...
“Are you sure you didn’t read it wrong?”
Li Mo was momentarily speechless.
He almost wanted to ask if she had read the fortune-telling book upside down.
The woman shook her head, “It’s indeed so; I see this in you.”
After a pause, she added, “Not only do you bring good fortune, but it’s also quite extraordinary.”
“How extraordinary?”
“Marrying you could mean waiting a few years to don the yellow robe.”
“..... Is that reasonable?”
Li Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.
The woman nodded, “It must be my lack of skill; I won’t charge you.”
At that moment, the morning bell of Hengyun Sword City rang out.
Li Mo stood up and pulled out a silver note.
Then the three of them stepped back into the misty rain.
“Li Da Ge... you’re amazing.”
“Is donning the yellow robe really that impressive?”
Little princess, there’s more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!
“Of course... only the emperor can... can...”
As Jiang Chulong spoke, she seemed to recall something sad, her voice growing softer.
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, “Chulong, every day filled with lavish feasts, not just the emperor can don the yellow robe.”
“Ah? Really?”
With just a few words, Li Mo managed to lift the spirits of the little princess, who had a low threshold for humor.
Watching the boy talk animatedly, as if he were performing a comedic skit, Ying Bing lowered her gaze slightly.
“Bringing good fortune to your wife…”
...
Inside the solitary pavilion.
Tian Miao furrowed her brows, pulling out a booklet from her sleeve, on which was boldly written:
“Ma Yi’s Fortune-Telling Classics.”
Though not as domineering as the “Heavenly Evolution Divine Calculation,” it was by no means ordinary.
Years ago, a founder of Yantian Sect had relied on this fortune-telling technique to discern the future Emperor Wu when he was still insignificant.
Though she was still learning, she had long mastered the “Heavenly Evolution Divine Calculation,” so her skills wouldn’t be completely haphazard.
“Didn’t get it right...”
“If so, how should I report to the sect about the next Hidden Dragon List?”
The Hidden Dragon List only considered battle achievements.
But in addition to achievements, it would also include many distinctive traits or strengths, allowing the realms of heaven and earth to understand this prodigy.
Could it be that Li Mo’s trait is... bringing good fortune to his wife?
After a moment of silence, she finally made up her mind.
Her eyes sparkled with a mysterious light, as if piercing through layers of mist, catching sight of the few figures that hadn’t gone far.
“Pfft~~~”
Several seconds later.
She staggered to her feet.
Taking out a special jade slip designated for the sect, she dipped her pen into the still-drying bloodstains she had just spat out.
With a serious demeanor, she wrote the first line.
“I have found the chaotic star Mars; please decide, Master.”
Then she began to write about other information regarding the Hidden Dragon List.
The new edition of the Hidden Dragon List was about to be released.
