"The Sequence, being the son of the City Lord of Heroic Spirit City, has a future that is naturally bound for great success and limitless prospects."
Hou Yixiao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Then I shall be bold and calculate the Sequence's marriage fate!"
He stepped back two paces, pulling out a turtle shell the size of a washbasin from his robe.
With a hand gesture, Hou Yixiao began chanting, and his entire body gradually emitted a faint silver glow.
A strange wind suddenly swept through the courtyard of the Qiong Feng Pavilion!
Gu Feng squinted his eyes, feeling the Innate Dao Embryo deep within his spiritual sea becoming restless, disturbed by the chaotic spiritual energy from the outside world.
He hadn't expected this chubby man to have such skills, capable of stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with his divination.
Looking at Hou Yixiao again, his face flushed red, he threw the massive turtle shell into the air with a wave of his hand!
The turtle shell shattered with a bang in mid-air, falling to the ground in several pieces.
Hou Yixiao withdrew his powers, stepped forward to take a look, and with a somewhat embarrassed expression, asked Gu Feng, "Sequence, the hexagram has been revealed. Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Manager Wu, somewhat annoyed, interjected, "Nonsense! Of course, my young master wants to hear the truth!"
After pondering for a moment, Hou Yixiao sighed deeply and said, "The first half of the hexagram is auspicious, but the latter half is a great omen of disaster!"
As he spoke, the whisk in Hou Yixiao's hand gently waved, and four brilliant golden lights shot out from the turtle shell fragments on the ground, revealing four lines of poetry in mid-air for all to see!
"A thousand gold cannot buy the longing ode, who shall express this silent affection, joy and resentment vanish in a day, one calamity sacrifices on the Yin-Yang path."
Looking at the strange four lines of poetry, Gu Feng asked, "What does this mean?"
Hou Yixiao cleared his throat and explained, "According to this hexagram, your future Dao companion will surely be a joyful adversary with you. Initially, all will be well, and the two of you will reconcile and be deeply in love. Unfortunately..."
Hearing this, Gu Feng had already realized something, sneaking a glance at Fang Feixue, whose face was indeed blushing slightly, causing a small thrill in his heart.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"Unfortunately what? Speak quickly!" Manager Wu urged.
Hou Yixiao remained silent for a moment before speaking frankly, "Unfortunately, this woman will one day shield you from a deadly calamity, and from then on, the two of you will be separated by life and death!"
"Nonsense!" Manager Wu and Fang Feixue erupted almost simultaneously, speaking in unison.
Everyone looked at each other, creating an awkward silence.
Gu Feng rubbed his forehead with a wry smile, unsure of what to do.
Jiu Long, unable to hold back, burst into laughter, further confusing everyone.
Fang Feixue felt her face burning and didn't know how to end the situation in front of everyone. With anger directed at Hou Yixiao, she ordered, "Where did this charlatan come from? Daring to deceive people here, guards! Take him to the Royal Guards' dungeon and deal with him later!"
Two Royal Guards immediately stepped forward, sealing Hou Yixiao's cultivation power and preparing to take him away.
Hou Yixiao, unable to defend himself, shouted repeatedly, "Sequence! Sequence! I might have made a mistake! Made a mistake! This doesn't count! I am also skilled in the Five Elements, earth escape, wall passing, remote viewing, and object retrieval from afar! Truly remarkable! Sequence!"
Manager Wu grew angrier as he listened. These tricks were considered lowly in the Cultivation World, and most cultivators disdained practicing them. He became even more furious, scolding, "You mad Daoist! My young master is dignified and would never be interested in such lowly magic. Drag him out!"
"Wait!" Gu Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with excitement.
To outsiders, what Hou Yixiao mentioned were all shady practices. Why escape through the earth? Why pass through walls? Even without saying, a smart person should know!
Remote viewing was just voyeurism!
As for object retrieval from afar, it was outright thievery!
However, Gu Feng saw it differently. He had long researched these obscure techniques in his family's books. They indeed existed but were greatly despised. He had once wanted to learn a few tricks but found no way.
Now, this chubby Daoist was proficient in all of them!
To Gu Feng, this was a talent! In the future, those sneaky and underhanded deeds could be left to him!
A black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!
Gu Feng only cared about results! As for the process? Who cares!
The Royal Guards halted at Gu Feng's command, and Hou Yixiao, narrowly escaping disaster, silently wiped his cold sweat.
"What you just mentioned, are you truly proficient in all of them?" Gu Feng raised an eyebrow, unable to hide his intense interest.
Hou Yixiao, though a habitual liar, dared not lie now and quickly nodded, "Absolutely true, Sequence!"
"Demonstrate them for me!"
Hou Yixiao let out a sigh of relief, and the Royal Guards beside him rolled their eyes, releasing the restriction on his cultivation power.
With a hand gesture, Hou Yixiao leaped over the courtyard wall as if it were transparent, the thick wall seeming nonexistent.
After a moment, he returned to the courtyard, bowing deeply to Gu Feng.
"Excellent! Marvelous! Truly marvelous!" Gu Feng couldn't help but applaud.
Seeing Gu Feng pleased, Hou Yixiao, in his excitement, showcased his abilities one after another.
He reached out and snatched Manager Wu's Qiankun Bag from afar, startling everyone into checking their belongings, fearing their treasures had been stolen.
With a grin, Hou Yixiao returned the Qiankun Bag to its owner, then closed his eyes, tapped his forehead, and muttered.
When he opened his eyes again, they glowed green like a cat's.
"He! Has two medium-grade spirit stones in his pocket, three inches below his navel!" Hou Yixiao pointed at a household servant, who, bewildered, reached into his pocket and indeed pulled out two medium-grade spirit stones.
"He! Has a tattoo on his chest, the name of a female cultivator!"
"He! Has a birthmark on his buttocks, oddly shaped and quite disgusting!"
"He! Is wearing red underwear today! Is it his destiny year?"
"He! This one is even worse, not wearing anything at all! A sin! A sin!"
Hou Yixiao, lost in his pride, pointed at each person with his glowing green eyes, leaving nothing hidden!
Everyone tried to avoid him, fearing their secrets would be exposed.
"She! Uh... hehe... this..." Finally, his gaze fell on Fang Feixue!
Fang Feixue immediately covered herself with her hands, but her movements were no match for Hou Yixiao's quick eyes, and she realized something...
"Scoundrel! Prepare to die!"
Fang Feixue erupted in anger, summoning a five-ring flying blade and hurling it at Hou Yixiao!
Hou Yixiao was terrified, quickly withdrawing his powers. With his Qi Refining Realm ninth-level cultivation, he couldn't withstand Fang Feixue's full-force attack from an Elemental Infant Realm cultivator!
He fled in panic, shouting, "Spare me, Sequence! I didn't see anything! Didn't see anything!"
