Chapter 1088 Master Ma, The Unreliable One
If this were a great beauty, Chen Xuan would have no complaints. But Master Ma was just an old man, so how could he not feel resentful?
Master Ma was still sound asleep, so he couldn't ask what the second condition was.
Helplessly, he had no choice but to turn and leave, closing the door as he did. He also instructed someone to make a pot of porridge for Master Ma to drink when he woke up.
As soon as Chen Xuan left, Master Ma, who was lying on the bed, smacked his lips, slowly opened his eyes, and mumbled, "This kid has decent character, not abandoning this old man outside..."
Saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the clean pajamas he was wearing. His expression moved, and then he turned his head and fell asleep again.
In the evening.
Master Ma finally yawned and walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, Chen Xuan was watching television. Seeing that Master Ma had woken up, he smiled and asked someone to bring over the porridge he had prepared earlier. He smiled and said, "You vomited quite a bit earlier, so I asked someone to make some porridge. Have some."
"Don't think that being so attentive to me will make me lower my conditions."
Master Ma mumbled.
Chen Xuan curled his lips, "Then drink it if you want, or don't!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the servant to take the porridge away.
The servant instinctively went to take the porridge, but as soon as he picked it up, he found that the porridge was gone. He rubbed his eyes hard and said in surprise, "What the hell, I clearly saw the porridge on top just now?"
Immediately, Master Ma's voice rang out from the side: "It's all cooked, so I'll reluctantly have a little."
The servant turned his head and saw Master Ma holding a bowl of porridge, looking surprised.
How did this porridge end up in Master Ma's hands?
Chen Xuan shrugged. This old guy was quite shameless. So, he waved his hand, signaling the servant. Although the servant was confused, he still turned and left.
"This is preserved egg and lean meat porridge from the food show. It smells pretty good. People in the city really know how to eat." Master Ma held the porridge in one hand and the spoon in the other, slurping as he spoke.
Chen Xuan curled his lips, "As if you've never eaten it before."
Looking at Master Ma, he was clearly a shrewd person. How could he not have eaten preserved egg and lean meat porridge?
Master Ma chuckled and said, "I have eaten it, but that was a few years ago. You don't know, many years ago, I traveled all over the country. What delicious food haven't I eaten? If it weren't for taking care of that girl later, I wouldn't have lived in such a desolate place..."
At this point, Master Ma stopped talking, as if he had touched upon some important matters.
This Master Ma was quite a glutton. A pot of porridge was cooked, and he had originally planned to save some for Su Yunxi. But Master Ma ate so much that he finished the entire pot.
"Finished eating?"
"Finished."
"Then hurry up and tell me the second condition!" Chen Xuan was getting impatient.
"Uh... no rush, let me think..." Master Ma said with a smile. A moment later, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot. I'll tell you when I remember."
Chen Xuan's eyes widened instantly. What kind of bizarre move was this?
"You seem to be in a hurry. How about this? I'll stay here first, and I'll tell you when I remember!" Master Ma said with a smile.
Damn it, is this guy planning to freeload?
Chen Xuan couldn't allow it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Should I have someone throw you out?"
"You..."
"Get out, get out! Who knows if you can actually divine fortunes!"
"You look down on me? Your father was so impressed with my divination skills that he prostrated himself!" Master Ma said unhappily.
Chen Xuan was stunned, then he stared at Master Ma and sneered a few times, "My father was impressed with your divination skills?"
Master Ma's expression changed slightly. He coughed twice, his expression a little awkward. "Perhaps he was a little impressed, but my divination skills are absolutely extraordinary! If you drive me away, I guarantee you won't find the Dragon Tamer!"
"If you have the ability, try to divine for me!"
"I will!"
Master Ma seemed full of confidence. He took out a compass from somewhere and suddenly stopped. "Kid, are you trying to provoke me?"
Even though he had seen through it, Chen Xuan remained unfazed and said calmly, "If you don't want to divine, then pack your things and leave."
"What if I don't leave?" Master Ma sat down on the sofa.
Chen Xuan: "......"
This guy was being a scoundrel.
"Chen Xuan, is this your friend?"
Suddenly, a faint laugh sounded.
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw Su Yunxi walking in, her beautiful eyes examining Master Ma, who was sitting on the sofa.
"No!"
Chen Xuan shook his head decisively.
"Hmm?"
Su Yunxi frowned.
Master Ma, however, walked over with a smile, acting as if he were very familiar. "This beautiful young lady, don't you recognize me? Last time, I divined for you."
Su Yunxi didn't recall him immediately. Master Ma quickly reminded her, "Last time at the wet market, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"Oh... I remember now. So it's you."
Su Yunxi suddenly remembered and couldn't help but laugh.
At that time, Master Ma was tricked by Chen Xuan and divined for a rather effeminate-looking man, but it turned out to be a woman, causing a great joke.
Master Ma stared at Su Yunxi, and his gaze suddenly sharpened. He said, "Miss, looking at your facial features, you must have encountered trouble recently. How about I divine for you? I won't charge you for the divination, as long as you let me stay here for a few days."
What could he say, Master Ma actually guessed correctly. Su Yunxi had indeed been troubled by various matters these past few days. Su Yunxi readily agreed, "Okay."
Master Ma was about to divine, but Chen Xuan stopped him and said, "Can't I see this matter myself? Are you going to help or not?"
"This is the attitude when asking for help. You Chen family..."
Master Ma was speechless.
In the past, Chen Jianhua was very arrogant and didn't treat him politely when asking for divination. Now, even Chen Jianhua's son was like this.
How could he say that he, Master Ma, was a renowned diviner?
In fact, it wasn't Chen Xuan's fault for having a bad attitude; it was mainly because Master Ma was too unreliable.
Su Yunxi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Chen Xuan, what's going on?"
So Chen Xuan explained the whole story, but he didn't mention the dragon脉.
Su Yunxi smiled after hearing it and turned to Master Ma, saying, "Master Ma, then you can stay here. You can stay as long as you want."
Upon hearing this, Master Ma was so excited that he almost jumped up. He didn't forget to say to Chen Xuan, "Kid from the Chen family, look at how generous your future wife is, and look at how stingy you are. To be able to marry such a wife, your Chen family's ancestors must have burned high incense!"
After saying that, Master Ma seemed to realize something was wrong and thought to himself: Bah, bah, bah, I didn't mean to insult the ancestors of the Chen family...
Su Yunxi's cheeks turned red. She was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained, "Yunxi, why are you keeping this guy?"
Su Yunxi explained, "Didn't you say he can help you? So it's fine to keep him."
"What if?"
"Look, he's not young anymore, and he's currently homeless. If it doesn't work out, then forget it. Anyway, we are a big family, and we won't lose anything," Su Yunxi said, glancing at Master Ma.
