Chapter 100: Zhou Yixian

"Guidance from the Immortal" is truly a renowned sign in the world of Zhu Xian!

Its possessor, Zhou Yixian, appears vulgar, greedy for wealth, and timid at first glance, yet his cultivation level is incredibly high!

No wonder the poison couldn't kill him!

And his act of feigning weakness to deceive the strong is truly of a master's level!

After a while of shouting and making strange noises, Zhou Yixian finally quieted down. He turned his head and stared blankly at Lin Xing, saying, "Huh? Where is that damned waiter? Why is he gone?"

Lin Xing felt so annoyed that he wished he could spit at him!

Could you pretend a bit more convincingly? People who don't know you would really think you're a respectful old gentleman.

Lin Xing said irritably, "He's dead. Eaten by dogs!"

Zhou Yixian gave an awkward smile.

Lin Xing reached into his bosom, and with a few rustling sounds, he took out thirty taels of silver, neither more nor less.

Zhou Yixian's eyes instantly sparkled like the silver itself!

Lin Xing waved the silver in front of Zhou Yixian's eyes. Then, he suddenly turned to Xiao Huan and said, "Come here, little girl. The three of us will have our fortunes told. This is for you! Remember, use it to buy candied haws, not for this old man!" Zhou Yixian's old face immediately fell. Looking at the piece of silver, his expression was even more pitiful than if his parents had died.

"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Huan ran over with a giggle and stuffed a candied haw into Lin Xing's hand. But then she suddenly stopped, looking full of doubt.

"Big brother, your hand is so special." Xiao Huan looked innocent and cute.

"Of course," Lin Xing pinched Xiao Huan's delicate and pink face, making her giggle. "Go to those two elder sisters. They also have nice things for you."

Xiao Huan nodded excitedly and hopped over to Zhou Yixian. She said something to him that no one knew, and then she went to the two women.

And then.

And then the three women started chatting non-stop, just like a lively play...

...

Lin Xing produced several pieces of delicate pastries out of thin air and said to Zhou Yixian, "Sir, come! The meal just now wasn't clean. It actually made people fall asleep. Let's start over!"

After saying that, he gave Zhou Yixian a meaningful look.

Zhou Yixian forced a smile and awkwardly changed the subject, "Ahem. Young master, your Taoist technique is truly profound and mysterious! This old man admires it very much! Very much indeed!!"

"Oh? In what way do you admire it?"

Zhou Yixian cursed inwardly. Either you admire it or you don't. What's this about "in what way"?

Helplessly, he cleared his throat and said seriously, "It is said that there is a profound Taoist technique in Taoism called 'The Universe in the Sleeve', which can contain all things! Young master, I presume your cultivation is related to this technique! I really didn't expect that this old man would be fortunate enough to witness such a mysterious technique!"

"Ah! It's truly an eye-opener!!" With an exclamation, Old Man Zhou stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of exquisitely delicious beef, his mouth watering profusely.

So excited, extremely excited! How long had it been since he'd eaten beef!!!

Just as he was about to put the beef in his mouth, Lin Xing suddenly pressed his chopsticks down on Old Man Zhou's, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, it's indeed an eye-opener! There are actually people in the world whom poison can't kill. Sigh!"

Zhou Yixian eagerly twisted his chopsticks and glanced at Lin Xing. Then, he suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "To be honest with you, young master, I actually have another nickname in the martial world, which is 'The Divine Doctor with Magical Hands'! Ordinary poison really can't harm me!"

"Oh? Really?"

"Really!"

Lin Xing changed his tone and whispered, "By the way, sir, I forgot to tell you that I also have a nickname in the martial world."

"Young master, with your extraordinary demeanor, your nickname must also be very famous!" Old Man Zhou twisted his chopsticks a few more times but still failed to get the beef.

"My nickname is 'The Eyes of Truth', which can specifically distinguish between truth and falsehood!"

Lin Xing looked at Zhou Yixian with a beaming smile.

Zhou Yixian coughed a few times and put down his chopsticks speechlessly.

"Forget it! This old man is unlucky. I've encountered two people 'beyond destiny' in a row. What bad luck!"

Zhou Yixian let out a sigh.

Lin Xing was secretly delighted. The old man had finally admitted it.

Wait a minute!

What did he say?

Two people "beyond destiny"?

"Old man, you can't be mistaken, can you? There are two people beyond destiny?"

Zhou Yixian's beard trembled, and he said angrily, "Although I'm getting old and my eyesight is not good, I won't make a mistake about this! The aura was so obvious. If I couldn't see it, there would be something really wrong!"

"Are there really two?"

"Really!"

"Seriously?"

Zhou Yixian stood up abruptly, picked up his chopsticks as if he was about to leave. But when he saw the delicious food on the table, he sat down again without any dignity, too angry to say a word.

"Hmph! That little girl was so considerate! A bowl of beef noodles made me feel so comfortable! It was truly wonderful! Even the cooking level of Patriarch Qingye from the Shanhaiyuan is inferior to hers! After she told my fortune, her disciple even gave me a roasted chicken. Well, but the taste was a bit lacking!"

After that, he muttered softly, "Unlike you, young fellow, who keeps sneering at me. You don't show any care for the elderly at all. Sigh!"

"But—, but I can't use up all my gold. Oh dear, what should I do?" Lin Xing talked to himself, and a gold bar the size of an arm suddenly appeared, shining brightly.

Zhou Yixian's eyes widened.

"Little brother! Meeting is a matter of fate! What's the relationship between us? Using a bowl of beef noodles to bribe me is really beneath us! Just make do with the food. This gold bar can be a token of our friendship across generations!"

Zhou Yixian grabbed Lin Xing's gold bar, full of gratitude.

"Alright, you old man are really unpredictable." Lin Xing said speechlessly, "I've already passed the age of being greedy for wealth. What age is your mentality stuck at?"

Holding the gold bar, Zhou Yixian's eyes were even shining with a golden light. "I'm getting younger as I live!"

Lin Xing was stunned.

"I really don't understand..."

Zhou Yixian touched the gold bar all over before coming back to his senses and getting to the main point.

"Alright, then I'll start calculating now!"

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhou Yixian stroked the gold bar and swayed his head.

"This old man roams thousands of miles in spirit, with supreme will, piercing through the barriers of time and space—"

"Old fool! Do you still want the gold? What nonsense are you talking about! I don't believe a word of it!" Lin Xing stared at the gold bar in Zhou Yixian's hand, looking as if he was going to take it back.

"Ahem. Well, I overdid the act. I can't change it all of a sudden, haha, he he." Zhou Yixian picked his nose and then put his hand back on the golden bar. The brilliant light dimmed a bit in an instant. Lin Xing raised his eyebrows, feeling an urge to beat him up.

"Your wife will be extremely famous, wealthy, and basically— enjoy a lifetime of good health!"

Lin Xing frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by 'basically'? Be more specific."

"Basically means basically. It's hard to explain clearly."

"Old man, are you playing tricks on me?" Lin Xing became furious.

"No, no! Absolutely not!" Zhou Yixian hugged the gold bar tightly, looking nervous, yet his tone was long and profound, truly a contradiction!

"How mysterious fate is! It influences each other, with a vague track, yet it's unpredictable!"

"... Old man, get to the point."

Zhou Yixian was startled, as if he felt the long-lost killing intent, and quickly said, "Oh! The point is, you have influenced them."

Lin Xing: "..."
