Chapter 273
Travelling Doctor (2)
People with good looks always became the centre of attention everywhere, whether they wanted it or not. And it went without saying, Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang, a beautiful pair made of a devastatingly handsome young man and lively young lady both dressed in extravagant clothes, flirting with each other, attracted a lot of attention from passersby.
When Mu Mingtang ran away shyly, Xie Xuanchen had a slight smile on his face. He was not in a hurry and chased after his cute little wife slowly.
When Mu Mingtang had walked half a street and felt people were no longer casting any weird sights on her, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as she slowed down, the person inside a fortune-telling stall at the intersection immediately approached her: “Benefactor, this poor Taoist sees that your brows are filled with charisma and reflects good luck. If you want to know more, ten coins for one time fortune telling. No bargaining.”
Mu Mingtang cast a surprised glance towards the person. Ever since she got married to Xie Xuanchen, very few people had dared to approach her so openly let alone trying to swindle her.
Normally, Xie Xuanchen was at her side; nobody had the guts to approach her without thinking twice, and his presence naturally created a ten-step stranger free zone around them. However, today she unexpectedly ditched Xie Xuanchen somewhere behind, and the first person to talk to her was actually a fortune teller.
The fortune teller’s stall was nothing more than a small place with a simple table placed at the front. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe, young and fair, with a round face and pea eyes, and his whole persona seemed very amiable.
Mu Mingtang with frowning eyes, tried to recall where she had seen this person before as the fortune teller looked familiar. Suddenly she remembered: “Oh~ Aren’t you the one who did some tricks to sell your herbal plaster on the Lantern Festival day? So you are also a fortune teller?”
The young fortune teller’s expression changed to a surprised one as he faced Mu Mingtang. “Yes, this is such a tiny world. The Lady and this Taoist are destined. This lady is a lucky person and as you are an acquaintance, I’ll charge only eight coins for a time.”
Seeing him still trying to sell his fortune-telling, Mu Mingtang laughed: “Didn’t you just say that you don’t bargain?”
“Of course, but a destined person is different. Madam, please extend your hand.”
Before Mu Mingtang could say a word to refuse, Xie Xuanchen’s voice came from behind her: “If you dare to let her reach out, you might as well check your fortune. See how long you can live?”
When Mu Mingtang turned around to look, she confirmed it was really Xie Xuanchen.
Even though the young Taoist’s enthusiasm visibly went down when he spotted Xie Xuanchen, he still attempted to drum up business for himself: “This gentleman looks very murderous, I am afraid that he has not only killed someone, but also killed the dragon. Killing the dragon’s veins is a heavy karma. Your fate is extremely hard. If you can turn bad luck into good fortune and survive the catastrophe of fate, you will have unstoppable advancement in the future. Why don’t I look at your fortune and help you survive your fate catastrophe?”
Xie Xuanchen naturally laughed at those comments because he only believed in himself and had no belief in gods, Buddhas, or devils.
The heights you could achieve were entirely up to you. You were the one who paved your own path through life. How could a simple word-of-mouth prediction from a fortune teller help you plan your future?
