Seeing Zhang Tian's current appearance, Wu Tianzhen was completely stunned.
What kind of getup was this?
A Daoist descending the mountain?
Thinking of Zhang Tian's appearance as a sly merchant before, ripping off Third Uncle of millions, and now looking at him dressed in a Daoist robe, Zhang Tian was a perfect picture of a charlatan.
Wu Tianzhen couldn't comprehend it.
"Huh? Tianzhen? What are you doing here? Come to buy something?"
Zhang Tian said with a smile, feigning surprise.
"Young Master Zhang, I wanted to ask you the same thing. Why are you here instead of staying at your antique shop?"
"What is this attire of yours? A Daoist descending the mountain?"
Wu Tianzhen scrutinized Zhang Tian. He couldn't see any trace of a master in him.
On the contrary, he looked like a swindler.
"Tianzhen, Fatty thinks we should buy our things first. This place seems rather uninteresting," said Wang Banyue, who was by his side, still thinking about recovering from his injuries.
"Wait! Fatty?"
"Someone imitates Fatty's face, someone imitates Fatty's clothes, and today, someone is even imitating Fatty's title!"
"Kid, who do you think you are!"
Suddenly, Wang Fatty, who was next to Zhang Tian, shot up from his seat.
What a joke! You can imitate my clothes, but you actually stole my title?
What's your intention?
"Fatty?"
"You? You call yourself Fatty?"
"Heh, let me tell you my name and you'll be shocked. You're not worthy!"
Wang Banyue's temper flared upon hearing this, and the two fat men instantly became adversaries.
"You're like… defecating in a latrine and can't produce anything good."
Wang Banyue, standing beside Wang Kaixuan, spoke as if his mouth was smeared with honey.
"And you're like… holding a lamp in a latrine to admire a sword. What a disgrace."
Wang Fatty retorted, not to be outdone.
Wang Kaixuan had fought zombies and female ghosts, so how could he be inferior to Wang Banyue?
"Hey you kid, you're like… a vegetable with a toothache, both weak and arrogant, and you look like a bean sprout."
Wang Banyue said.
"Bah! Your existence is like a little ghost riding a pig to war. A waste of resources!"
The two fat men hurled insults at each other.
The surrounding crowd clapped and cheered.
These insults were so creative, they had to rack their brains to come up with them.
Zhang Tian and Wu Tianzhen watched the two fat men in bewilderment.
Good heavens, Wu Tianzhen and Zhang Tian's issues hadn't been resolved, and these two had already started.
Hu Bayi patted his forehead, feeling speechless. This was indeed a situation that only Fatty could create.
After Zhang Tian finished calculating the star signs for a shop owner in front of him, he turned to Wu Tianzhen.
"Young Master Wu, would you like me to do a reading for you too? It's free."
Zhang Tian said with a smile.
"Young Master Zhang, if I recall correctly, you're a shop owner. Since when do you know how to tell fortunes?"
Wu Tianzhen frowned slightly.
He suspected that the Zhang Tian from the Xisha Underwater Tomb was this very person.
However, he had no proof, and the Zhang Tian before him looked so gentle and weak, it didn't seem like him.
"I'm just doing it on a whim, so I'm free. Here, let me read your fortune."
As Zhang Tian spoke, he took Wu Tianzhen's hand.
Then, he took out a luopan (a Chinese divining compass).
"Isn't this luopan the one you bought at the Xinyue Hotel last time? I didn't expect Young Master Zhang to still be carrying it."
Wu Tianzhen had a good memory and recalled the incident at the Xinyue Hotel upon seeing the luopan.
Zhang Tian smiled at this.
"Yes, after buying the luopan, I've been looking for masters to guide me. See them? They are all my teachers, and now I've graduated."
"Look, I'm doing this for practice, so I'm giving readings for free."
Zhang Tian pointed at the old charlatan not far away, his expression earnest.
However, Wu Tianzhen was somewhat skeptical.
What a joke. It hadn't been that long since the auction ended.
Zhang Tian could tell fortunes in a month, and he learned it from an old charlatan. Was he a monster?
"Young Master Zhang is truly gifted. By the way, has Young Master Zhang traveled far recently?" Wu Tianzhen asked.
"No, I haven't been out recently. I do plan to go out in a few days," Zhang Tian said after some thought.
"Where?" Wu Tianzhen asked again.
A smile played on Zhang Tian's lips as he looked at Wu Tianzhen.
"To the seaside for a vacation. I heard there's a swimsuit gathering, which the comrades like to attend."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Wu Tianzhen's expression turned grim.
Thinking of the previous events, it was no wonder he looked unhappy.
"Young Master Zhang, I advise you not to go. The sea is very dangerous."
Seeing Zhang Tian's intention to go to sea, Wu Tianzhen dismissed his suspicion of Zhang Tian and didn't think too deeply about it for now.
"Brother, what's your name!"
At this moment, Wang Banyue suddenly spoke up.
"Wang Kaixuan!"
"I am Wang Banyue!"
Wang Kaixuan: "Holy crap, could we be…?"
Wang Banyue: "Brothers separated at birth!"
As they spoke, they embraced each other.
Hu Bayi was dumbfounded by this scene.
How could they go from arguing to playing the sentiment card?
Zhang Tian and Wu Tianzhen were used to these two fat men.
Seeing the two fat men even start talking about their relatives, Zhang Tian shook his head and looked at Wu Tianzhen's destiny.
"Star signs aligned, auspicious energy, blessed by fortune. He has the destiny of a true dragon."
In Zhang Tian's eyes, a faint golden halo was appearing above Wu Tianzhen's head.
This must be the chosen one.
"As expected of the protagonist in tomb raiding stories. This destiny is likely far beyond this," Zhang Tian mused, intending to see what would happen to Wu Tianzhen in the near future.
The luopan spun.
Soon, various trends appeared, and in Zhang Tian's eyes, the luopan transformed into a sea of stars.
"Young Master Wu, you have a lot of good fortune recently, but it's a pity there's a 'trapped beast' calamity."
"I advise you not to go home."
Zhang Tian said, smiling as he released his hand.
"What do you mean?"
"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. Figure it out yourself."
"Alright, work's done."
Zhang Tian said, patted his clothes, and stood up, leaving Wu Tianzhen looking utterly bewildered.
"What 'trapped beast' calamity? Isn't he just tricking me?"
"How strange."
Wu Tianzhen shook his head, not taking the matter to heart.
If Zhang Tian could tell fortunes, then pigs could fly. It had only been a few months, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
"Fatty, let's go."
Wu Tianzhen called out.
"Fatty, we must have a drink next time."
Wang Banyue said, and Wang Kaixuan nodded in agreement.
"Absolutely. Next time we meet, we won't go home without getting drunk!"
"Hey, Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, a piece of cake!"
Saying this, Wu Tianzhen pulled Fatty, and they soon disappeared into the crowd.
"Let's go too."
Zhang Tian said, and he led Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty to leave.
"Hey, Young Master Zhang, will you come tomorrow?"
"Yes, everyone is waiting for you to read their fortunes."
Several bystanders asked.
"I'll be back tomorrow, don't worry."
Zhang Tian replied, then moved away from the crowd.
Soon, not long after Zhang Tian left,
Zhang San rushed back.
When everyone learned what had happened, countless people were shocked.
"So Young Master Zhang is not only good at appraising treasures, but he can also tell fortunes!"
"Holy crap, is that true? He actually predicted Zhang San's family was cuckolded?"
"This is too amazing. I heard Old Li's fortune was also told correctly."
"No way, we must wait for him tomorrow."
Everyone chattered amongst themselves, and the news quickly spread throughout Beili.
Meanwhile, Wu Tianzhen had just returned home and was immediately confined to his room.
Wu Taiye informed him that he was not allowed to step out of the house for a year.
The reason was that his tomb-raiding activities had been discovered, and the elders at home were very angry.
At this moment, Wu Tianzhen remembered Zhang Tian's words.
"Holy crap, could it be that accurate?"
"A 'trapped beast' calamity? Is Young Master Zhang a genius?"
Wu Tianzhen swallowed, his face filled with shock.
At the same time, he became more curious about those old charlatans in Panjiayuan.
"If Young Master Zhang learned from those fortune-tellers, couldn't I do the same?"
The more Wu Tianzhen thought about it, the more he felt there was an opportunity.
He decided that he would definitely go and learn in the future.
(Thank you everyone for your gifts, thank you, thank you.)
