Chapter 10: Qian Nine Five, Meeting A Benefactor On The Road
“No way.”
“Really that magical?”
She recalled the cup of Incense Ash Water from yesterday, plus the incantation chanted by Daoist Master Qin, and what Uncle Zhong had said, guaranteeing she would sleep well at night.
Xuan Xia immediately swallowed her surprise and put on a calm face again.
She had already clearly witnessed Daoist Master Qin’s abilities in the Illusionary Scenery.
Being able to stop her nightmares, what was so surprising about that?
However, this sleep was not only comfortable, but also left her Refreshed and Invigorated, as if the sleep she had lacked for three months was fully made up in this one night.
Being Refreshed and Invigorated, her hearing and sight also sharpened.
Xuan Xia vaguely heard voices talking, one of which sounded a lot like Lawyer Fang.
With curiosity, she opened the window and looked out; sure enough, Lawyer Fang and Daoist Master Qin were in the courtyard.
The two were sitting face-to-face by the Stone Table in the courtyard, talking softly about something, but from her angle, she could only see Lawyer Fang speaking.
Lawyer Fang heard the sound and looked up, also seeing Xuan Xia.
He immediately showed a smiling face. “Good morning, Miss Xuan.”
Daoist Master Qin, who had his back turned, also turned his head.
Xuan Xia nodded to the two in greeting.
By the time she finished washing up and came out, the two were still sitting.
Lawyer Fang stopped midway through his words and looked at Xuan Xia, unable to resist saying, “Miss Xuan, you look radiant today.”
This energy and spirit were completely different from yesterday.
“Ah? Really?” Xuan Xia raised her hand to touch her face.
When washing up just now, she had indeed felt her complexion was much better, but it was just back to before the frequent nightmares, nothing special.
Now that Lawyer Fang mentioned it, she couldn’t help glancing at Daoist Master Qin.
It was because of him.
But she quickly withdrew her gaze and turned to ask Lawyer Fang, “Lawyer Fang, you’re here quite early.”
“I just happened to have something to trouble Daoist Master Qin with.”
Lawyer Fang laughed heartily, not treating Xuan Xia as an outsider, and said directly, “A friend of mine wants Daoist Master Qin to do a reading for him. I heard the first reading early in the morning is the most accurate, so I came early to catch it.”
Xuan Xia: “…” Disbelieving.
You, a lawyer trained in law, doing work for Justice, and you say things like that?
But Lawyer Fang was oblivious.
Daoist Master Qin shook his head helplessly and slowly corrected him, “It’s not that the first reading early in the morning is accurate; as long as there is Sincerity, every reading can be accurate.”
Lawyer Fang: “Oh, oh, oh, I was superficial.”
Xuan Xia: “…” I was superficial too.
Lawyer Fang had already had Daoist Master Qin finish the reading, and now seeing Xuan Xia still there, he suddenly got an idea.
“Daoist Master Qin, why not do a reading for Miss Xuan too?”
“Huh?” Xuan Xia was stunned.
Daoist Master Qin looked over.
Xuan Xia immediately changed her mind and nodded. “Sure.”
Daoist Master Qin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; after a second, he slowly said okay.
Moments later, Daoist Master Qin finished the divination.
“How is it?” Xuan Xia had been watching for a while and grew curious too.
“Qian Nine Five, Flying Dragon in the Sky, Beneficial to see the Great Man.”
Hearing this, Xuan Xia perked up. “What does that mean?”
“This reading has two interpretations,” Daoist Master Qin said slowly. “First, the dragon soars in the sky, displaying its power. Second, encountering a Benefactor on the way out.”
“Good reading!” Lawyer Fang slapped his leg, laughing even happier than Xuan Xia.
As if it were his reading.
Xuan Xia couldn’t help laughing too. “Encountering a Benefactor on the way out? How should this be understood? Does it mean leaving this courtyard gate, or the Temple Gate, or that I’ve already encountered a Benefactor on this trip out?”
“Miss Xuan, that’s a good insight. Why don’t you try going out the courtyard gate first?” Lawyer Fang got excited and egged her on.
Xuan Xia smiled and glanced at Daoist Master Qin; in her good mood, she got playful too and actually walked toward the courtyard gate following Lawyer Fang’s words.
As soon as she stepped out, she heard a “ding-dong.”
The mobile phone casually tucked in her clothes pocket rang.
