In July, on the overpass in the county town.

"Fortune telling like a blind man, interpreting dreams, characters, and hexagrams. Discounts for new customers, everything is only nine ninety!"

A young woman with black round sunglasses stood beside the stall. She was beautiful, with fair skin and striking red lips that were especially noticeable because her eyes were hidden behind her shades. Everything she did drew the attention of passersby.

Next to the stall, there was a wooden sign nailed up that read "Fortune Telling by a Blind Man".

She shouted while fanning herself with a large palm leaf in her hand.

"This girl is setting up her stall again…"

"She may be pretty, but it's a shame that she started deceiving people at such a young age. She's not blind, after all."

The passersby were no longer surprised by the little girl at the stall and shook their heads as they walked away. Only a young man who looked like a tourist stopped in front of the stall.

The man was as still as a pond, his expression dull and lifeless. His gaze fell upon the wooden sign and lingered for a moment.

"Hello Master, I want to test the characters."

Yun Qiqi put on her round black spectacles and glanced at him, then handed him a brush. "Write down the first word that comes to your mind and tell me what you want to ask. Remember, sincerity is key; make sure you don't have any other thoughts, otherwise, it will cause internal imbalance."

The young man nervously held his breath and quickly took the brush.

He hesitated for a second, bowed his head and wrote the word "road".

After his heartbreak, he remembered the paths they had walked together. All their past experiences were beautiful.

The road is what you think in your heart.

The man's face flushed red, and he raised his eyes, stammering, "I just broke up with my girlfriend, and I wanted to ask... can we get back together?"

Yun Qiqi traced the lines of his handwriting, a seemingly ordinary action concealing a profound and unfathomable technique.

The writing is both forceful and delicate, strong yet skillful, with the grace of dragons and phoenixes dancing across the page.

"You will soon be as good as new."

The man's still gaze flickered: "Really, Master? How do you interpret this character?"

"Look, the character for 'road' has two openings at the top and bottom. On the left is 'stop,' and on the right is 'reverse.' This means that both of you will choose to turn back when you reach the intersection, so you are definitely going to get back together. Give her a call, men should be a little more proactive."

Upon hearing Yun Qiqi's confident tone, the young man's eyes slowly brightened with a faint glimmer.

If it weren't for the emotional turmoil and confusion in his heart, he wouldn't have paid any attention to this seemingly deceptive fortune-telling. Unexpectedly, Yun Qiqi's explanation actually had a certain degree of truth to it.

"With Master's blessing, I shall go now!"

The man paid with a scan without any hesitation, then excitedly hurried away.

Yun Qiqi smiled slightly, taking off her round black sunglasses: "You're welcome."

Sighing wistfully.

Because she was too young, her fortune-telling business couldn't compete with the black bear grandpa next door. As a result, after trying this trick today, customers came flooding in.

Unable to compete, the fortune teller had no choice but to lower her prices drastically. She dropped them to just 9.9 yuan per reading after her competitor, a "big shot", started offering readings for only 50 yuan that morning.

Is it easy to make some money?

How come it's so difficult to be a wealthy and prestigious salted fish?

On the other side of the bridge——

"Mr. Li, this fortune-telling girl isn't blind at all!" Jiang Bai looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Nine out of ten fortune tellers are scammers, and the other one is guessing. What do you think?"

Beside him, a tall man who looked like a god spoke coldly.

He was dressed in a bespoke black suit, his face as sharp and cold as a knife, his eyes dark and piercing, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his lips, and more disgust in his gaze.

“Hurry up and find the location of Qingxuan Dao Guan, don't waste time.”

They've already wasted half an hour here, and this isn't the Third Ring Road of Beijing. They can't get out!

Jiang Bai quickly retracted his gaze and hurried to follow Li Yunpei's footsteps, ascending the sky bridge.

"You're right, this girl is so young and could be doing anything else, but she has to be a fortune teller. Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people! What a wicked and sinful thing to do!"

Jiang Bai had a loud voice, and this sentence happened to fall into Yun Qiqi's ears.

She stopped counting her coins, her clear eyes fixed on them, a hint of amusement in her heart.

It's so petty and wicked to spread rumors about others. Can't you just stay away from them?

impolite.

Yun Qiqi's eyes darkened, she tightened the small pouch, got up and followed after him, patting Jiang Bai on the shoulder from behind.

"Sir, you say I'm a scoundrel and a wretch who deceives people?"

A crisp and melodious female voice rang out from behind him, startling Jiang Bai.

He turned around with Li Yunpei, only to see a faint smile on the other's fair face.

"Girl, are you going to start fortune-telling and cursing me?" Jiang Bai smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, with not the slightest embarrassment of being caught.

Such an easy-to-spot fraudster, you're just starting out, aren't you!

Li Yunpei's posture was languid, his eyes half-closed as he scrutinized the young girl before him.

The ordinary T-shirt and jeans were slightly faded from washing and worn out.

Her raven-black ponytail stood tall, looking neat and clean.

He was wearing a shabby little purse with bells dangling from his waist.

Only her appearance was exquisite. Her amber eyes were bright and clear, the kind of face that made you feel comfortable at first glance.

Yun Qiqiao sighed, “I do good deeds every day and wouldn't curse anyone. I just saw that your face didn't look good today, and there seemed to be a sign of financial loss. I wanted to kindly remind you.”

Li Yunpei nodded slightly: "Let's not talk about spending money. You can see, why pretend to be blind?"

"I pretend to be blind to attract attention and make a living, that doesn't mean I can't calculate things accurately." Yun Qiqiao looked straight at him with her head held high, showing no fear whatsoever.

Li Yunpei raised an eyebrow slightly, rarely showing a sliver of patience: "Then you might as well tell me, what's wrong with his face?"

The other party's aura carried an innate arrogance.

"This man has pimples on his official palace, which is also known as the Palace of Fortune. The skin near his right eyebrow where it meets his hair is broken, indicating damage to the Migration Palace. This is a sign of impending financial loss."

Hearing this, Jiang Bai subconsciously touched his forehead. He really had a pimple there, probably from eating spicy hot pot. A mosquito bite on his brow ridge had also broken the skin.

"But you don't have to worry, this is easily resolved. Our meeting means we are destined to—"

Yun Qiqi took out a lucky charm paper from her small bag, and while saying it, she didn't forget to say her professional jargon: "I have a lucky charm here, wear it for three days to eliminate bad luck. I'm losing some money, 500 yuan to sell you one."

Yun Qiqi's lips curled into a slight smile, two fair fingers pinching a yellow talisman.

Li Yunpei's cold eyes flashed with coldness: "Sales?"

"Bah, you'd be the fool to buy this amulet! You'd truly be throwing your money away! Look, little girl, there are plenty of ways to make money. I hope you reconsider." Jiang Bai dissuaded her.

..."

This was the first time I took the initiative to tell someone's fortune, but they didn't believe me.

Back then, in X country, she was worth her weight in gold.

Li Yunpei curled his lips into a sneer, his magnetic voice ringing out: "There are city management officers nearby. We didn't report you because we were being considerate, and you dare to come here and deceive us?"

Yun Qiqi raised her eyes and glanced at the man in front of her. He was dressed in a suit, his features handsome and devilishly alluring. The pair of phoenix eyes beneath his thick eyebrows held a hint of cold mockery. Looking into them for too long would send chills down your spine.

Strange...

She couldn't immediately tell his fate.
