After finally saving face, Lin Xing had to put on an act.
"Miss, your luck is not good, not good at all!"
Lin Xing stroked his chin, trying to feel the presence of a beard— Oh right, I don't have a beard.
The ordinary girl didn't react, just sat there quietly with a suspicious look on her face.
"Damn it! What, don't you believe me? Let me ask you, have you been feeling a bit restless and irritable recently?" Lin Xing's tone was very much like that of a swindler!
Yuting was shocked in her heart: Could he really have calculated it?
"A little bit—"
"That's it!!" Lin Xing slapped the table hard, becoming even more convinced of his own thoughts! His previous calculation was a bit vague and he wasn't sure. Since the person involved had already noticed it, it couldn't be wrong!
The 30% certainty he had before had now become 80%!
Lin Xing looked around in surprise and then quietly leaned close to Yuting's ear: "I—"
"Why are you looking around? There's no one else here." Yuting pushed Lin Xing's head away with a palm.
"That's how fortune-tellers do it. It creates an atmosphere! Haha!"
Collecting his thoughts, Lin Xing whispered, still a bit unsure in his heart: "Miss, you're going to have a disaster involving bloodshed recently!" His skin tightened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he showed a worried expression. (In Lin Xing's heart: A disaster involving bloodshed? Damn it! How could a girl be involved in something like this!?) Yuting was taken aback: "Really!?"
Lin Xing said solemnly: "It's absolutely true!!"
Yuting frowned and thought for a while. She did have a bad feeling, but with her own strength, who could hurt her? Could he have made a mistake?
"Can you be more accurate?" Yuting asked.
This stumped Lin Xing. Damn it, my fortune-telling skill just failed, and you want me to be more accurate. Do you have any sense of decency?
"Well, if you provide more information, I should... probably... maybe be able to." Lin Xing said uncertainly.
Yuting furrowed her brows. The ominous feeling had been particularly strong recently, and it was very likely to be true. Although it was dangerous to reveal information to the BOSS, for the sake of caution, she might as well tell him.
"All right, it's okay to tell you. But correspondingly, you also have to tell me about yourself."
"Why!?"
"To be fair!"
Lin Xing was just about to retort when the ordinary girl in front of him did something that left him stunned.
She just gently drew a line in the air with her finger, and the surrounding air instantly condensed, forming a soundproof shield! The air inside was completely isolated from the air outside, and she 施展 this technique so easily, it seemed to be a little bit more skillful than himself!
A master of formations! A great master!!!
I actually misjudged her! Damn it!!!
"Come on, there's no need to be so cautious. It's just an identity." Lin Xing said uncomfortably.
"I don't care about that at all! There's no difference between the Holy Cult and the righteous path. If it weren't for that old man setting up spies everywhere, would I need to be so cautious?" When she said the words "that old man", she seemed extremely angry, like a little girl having a tantrum with her parents.
"Running away from home, I understand! I understand!" Lin Xing nodded and then looked at the girl with a bit more surprise in his eyes.
"However, I really didn't expect that you, a girl, would say something like 'there's no difference between the Holy Cult and the righteous path'. I admire you! I really do!!"
This wasn't flattery. Lin Xing sincerely admired her!
In Lin Xing's memory, it seemed that the Ghost King had some vision and more progressive ideas. The others were all dullards. He never expected that while telling fortunes today, he would meet a girl with such insights, although she was... very ordinary-looking.
Yuting's eyes lit up: "You think so too?"
"Yeah!"
"No, something's not right!" Yuting furrowed her brows tightly. Although she had an ordinary face, there was still a different aura about her. "Why do you have this idea too? This isn't right!"
Lin Xing's expression was a bit stunned: "What, is there something wrong with that?"
"Sigh! You won't understand even if I tell you. It's just not right!" Yuting said impatiently, her heart in a mess.
The big BOSS turned out to be an open-minded person, not like a villain at all!
Combined with the performance of that old man with the bamboo pole before, this big villain BOSS even had a bit of compassion!
This plot, this plot doesn't make sense!!!
Could the big BOSS actually be a good person?
"I said, Miss, if there's something wrong, you should tell me! If you don't want to tell me, at least give me your birth date and time. Don't just sit there in a daze!"
Yuting came back to her senses, gave Lin Xing a complicated look, and said carefully: "If, I mean if, if there's a war between the righteous and the demonic one day, which side would you be on?"
Huh?
Lin Xing thought, this thought jumped a bit too quickly, didn't it?
After thinking for a while, Lin Xing said: "I won't help either side. I'll just make a fortune quietly on my own!"
"Exactly! I think so too!" Yuting clapped her hands in approval.
"You think so too? We're really destined! We're both in the same line of work and kindred spirits! It's so rare, extremely rare!" Lin Xing felt extremely excited in his heart!
The sense of intimacy that this girl exuded made him feel very natural and fresh. Now they were like-minded colleagues. He was really happy!
But Yuting was even more torn.
With extraordinary talent, lofty vision, unique insights, and a compatible temperament with her own.
Her disciple was definitely the protagonist. "Xiaofan", she seemed to have heard others mention it too, and it seemed that he was the protagonist of Zhu Xian.
Then this Lin Xing, being so outstanding, how could he be a supporting character?
He could only be the BOSS!
But with his personality like this, how could he transform into an evil BOSS?
Yuting once again used her Sherlock Holmes-like reasoning.
Frustrated in love, going crazy from practicing cultivation wrongly, being betrayed...
Aaaaaah!!! So confusing!!!
Forget it! At least he hasn't become a BOSS yet, and we can still be friends! Hmm!
Yuting finally figured it out!
"All right, you can tell my fortune first. My name is Yuting, and my birth date and time—"
"Miss——————!! We've finally found you!!! The Hall Master is really worried!" Two chubby figures ran over from a distance, looking fierce and menacing, the typical appearance of thugs!
Of course, the sound couldn't get in. But Yuting's keen perception clearly told her what was going on outside.
"What's your birth date and time?" Lin Xing asked.
Yuting suddenly let out a tired sigh, and her long eyelashes trembled: "Forget it, no need to look. That old fool sent people again. It's so annoying!"
Lin Xing looked outside. The two fat guys were running over, panting.
"Do you want me to deal with them for you?" Lin Xing asked.
"No need. I can handle it myself. I'm leaving now. We'll meet again if we're destined."
Just leaving like this? Lin Xing felt a bit reluctant. It was rare to meet an ancient person with some foresight. Why did they have to part ways so soon?
Yuting walked a few steps and also felt strange in her heart. When they met next time, would this Lin Xing have changed and become a devil?
A few different emotions welled up in her heart, faint and lingering. In her mind, the scene of Lin Xing fighting the Black Water Mysterious Snake emerged again.
Confident, unyielding, and never giving up.
He was a person who wouldn't give up, and he wouldn't change! Yuting told herself.
But what if— She suddenly didn't want Lin Xing to become a BOSS!
After walking a few steps, Yuting stopped again, as if she had decided something. With her back to Lin Xing, it was impossible to tell what kind of expression she had. Her soft voice slowly drifted over: "Lin Xing, you have to remember that the world is changeable, there are thousands of paths of the Tao, and only 'I' can transcend! Sticking to yourself is the right path!"
After saying that, she didn't stay any longer and walked forward quickly.
The two chubby men continued to chase after her...
"Thousands of paths of the Tao, and only 'I' can transcend?" Lin Xing repeated it a few times. It sounded quite catchy and seemed a bit profound.
"Sigh! What a strange girl!"
"Come on, next one. What do you want to have calculated?"
"..."
