Chapter 945 What's So Great About Them?
"What's going on? Why are they hitting people? Was the calculation wrong?"
Everyone exchanged glances, confused.
Su Yunxi was also filled with questions.
Even if the calculation was wrong, they shouldn't hit someone, should they?
Chen Xuan stared at the fortune-telling old man, smugly saying, "Old man, you're nothing but a fraud..."
Hearing this, the fortune-teller's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, his nose crooked with anger.
This brat was truly a nuisance!
"Senior, you lost, aren't you supposed to give me the jade ginseng?" Chen Xuan said with a cold smile.
"Brat, you tricked me!" The fortune-teller glared at Chen Xuan, his eyes wide open.
Chen Xuan smiled playfully and said, "Heh, how did I trick you? You clearly misjudged it yourself?"
The fortune-teller was speechless, his old face turning bright red.
Indeed, how had Chen Xuan tricked him? According to their agreement, Chen Xuan was supposed to find someone for him to divine, but who could have predicted that the "woman" wouldn't be a normal person?
Although she looked perfectly normal, the fortune-teller was a shrewd old man and naturally saw that the "woman" was deliberately found by Chen Xuan.
The fortune-teller insisted, "Anyway... you tricked me!"
"Could it be that Senior intends to renege on the deal?" Chen Xuan asked with a faint smile.
"Nonsense, when have I ever gone back on my word?"
After saying that, the fortune-teller took out a dirty box from his tattered cloth bag and shoved it into Chen Xuan's hand, saying, "Here! You think I'd go back on my word? What a joke!"
Chen Xuan eagerly opened the box. As expected, a jade ginseng lay quietly inside. It wasn't large, but it was exquisite and translucent, with a pale luster, beautiful and delicate, like fine jade.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's pupils contracted.
This jade ginseng was three hundred years old!
It was definitely a treasure among treasures!
It was originally set to start at thirty million, practically a steal. The Bai family didn't even take it seriously; they were truly blind.
"Is this the medicinal herb you need?"
Su Yunxi glanced at it, also attracted by the beauty of the jade ginseng.
The jade ginseng was so translucent and jade-like that any woman would like it.
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded joyfully. This jade ginseng was several times better than the one he had used for refining pills before. If used for refining pills, it could produce several more.
"Brat, do you see if I'll go back on my word?" the fortune-teller said coldly.
"Senior is indeed a man of his word, thank you, Senior." Chen Xuan laughed heartily.
"Chen Xuan, what exactly happened just now?"
Su Yunxi wasn't very concerned about the medicinal herb, but she was very curious about what had just happened.
She blinked at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "That wasn't a woman just now, but a man."
"Ah?"
Su Yunxi never expected such a situation and could only laugh bitterly.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, the fortune-teller wailed, "The world is changing! A man, dressed as neither man nor woman, wearing makeup! Not a trace of masculinity!"
As the "woman" left, the fortune-teller saw the "woman's" Adam's apple, and he knew he had been tricked.
Su Yunxi could no longer hold back, and burst into laughter. Her beautiful face was simply stunning.
Yes, the person was a man. You called him a woman, so you were wrong from the start. How could you be right?
Otherwise, that guy would have slapped the fortune-teller directly.
"You brat aren't exactly an angel, hmph! I'm leaving!"
After saying that, the fortune-teller glared at Chen Xuan and, in a huff, prepared to turn and leave.
"Senior, please wait!" Chen Xuan reached out and stopped the fortune-teller.
"Brat, what else do you want?"
The fortune-teller looked at Chen Xuan with a sullen face.
"Senior, you were the one who did the fortune-telling for Wei Changgeng and the others, weren't you?"
Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at the fortune-telling old man, saying with a smile.
From the conversations of Wei Changgeng and the others, Chen Xuan had already known about this fortune-telling old man. He could sense that this old man had been secretly helping him.
The fortune-teller was stunned at first, then laughed heartily, "Brat, I didn't expect you to figure this out. To be honest, I truly admire you. If you hadn't tricked me, I would have taken you as my first disciple, even if I had to risk my life."
Chen Xuan smiled, "Old sir, I apologize. I had no choice just now, so I resorted to this stratagem."
In fact, Chen Xuan had also realized that this old man's fortune-telling skills were extraordinary. If it weren't for this farce, he believed that with the fortune-teller's abilities, he would have been able to predict everything correctly.
"Alas, the world is really changing. People are either getting plastic surgery or wearing heavy makeup, making it difficult for fortune-tellers like us to make a living." The fortune-teller sighed, clearly troubled by plastic surgery and makeup.
The women around them couldn't help but feel a bit awkward hearing this.
Chen Xuan was about to ask the old man why he was helping him when a sharp voice suddenly rang out, "The White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is here, everyone scram!"
The cold, domineering shout immediately changed everyone's expression!
The name White Dragon Chamber of Commerce was enough to make people's hearts tremble! Many people quickly scattered.
At this moment, a group of people charged forward with imposing momentum.
The leader was none other than Bai Feng!
Bai Feng's gaze swept over and he saw the fortune-telling old man, immediately recognizing him as the one who sold the jade ginseng. He rushed forward, "Old man, where's your jade ginseng?"
The fortune-teller's brow furrowed, and he said coldly, "What's it to you?"
In the world of Feng Shui, he was a titan, a revered ancestor. Who dared to speak to him like this?
When Bai Feng spoke like that, the fortune-teller immediately cursed, showing him no respect.
"You old geezer dare to scold me? Do you know I'm from the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce!"
Bai Feng immediately raised his arm, his palm the size of a fan about to strike the fortune-teller.
Suddenly, a随行 (attendant) next to him quickly said, "Young Master Feng, look..."
Bai Feng paused slightly and looked. He saw Chen Xuan holding a simple jade box and frowned.
The attendant lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, I remember the old fellow's jade ginseng was kept in this box."
Bai Feng, unwilling to argue further with the fortune-teller, strode over and arrogantly said to Chen Xuan, "Brat, is that jade ginseng in your box?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "And if it is?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng's heart rejoiced, and he said to Chen Xuan, "Brat, give me the jade ginseng you're holding, and I'll let you join the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce and make you a minor official. When you go home, your whole family will be proud of you, and no one will dare to bully you. What do you say?"
After speaking, the subordinate next to him said with a smile, "Brat, you must have accumulated a lot of good karma to gain Young Master Feng's favor."
As he spoke, the subordinate, assuming Chen Xuan would hand over the jade ginseng, reached out to take it.
Chen Xuan retracted the hand holding the jade ginseng box, causing the Bai Feng's subordinate to grab nothing.
"Brat, what are you doing?"
"This jade ginseng is mine, and I don't intend to give it to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Feng's face instantly turned grim.
He said coldly, "Brat, I'm telling you, I am Bai Feng of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce. If you don't hand it over, the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce will take your life!"
"A mere White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is nothing in my eyes. What's so great about them?"
Chen Xuan sneered.
