705 Fortune-telling (2)

Shen Miao said, “Daoist priest, help me look at the other slip.”

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were a little anxious, not understanding why Shen Miao would trust this Daoist priest so much.

The Daoist priest chuckled and picked up the other slip. He glanced at Shen Miao and stroked his beard as usual. Then, he slowly said, “The purple aura comes from the east, an auspicious sign. It’s the best of the slips.”

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were originally afraid that the Daoist priest would say something inauspicious again. It was almost the end of the year, and everyone was afraid to hear unlucky things lest bad luck befell them. Seeing him say that, they heaved a sigh of relief. However, Jingzhe mocked him relentlessly, “I knew he was a liar. One slip bad luck and the other slip good luck. Then which is true?”

“Both are true,” the Daoist priest said. “If you don’t believe me, ask your miss if I’m lying.”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat and she said, “Jingzhe, Gu Yu, go over there. I have something to say to the Daoist priest in private.”

Jingzhe wanted to say something. She felt that this Daoist priest was a charlatan. However, Gu Yu pulled her to the side, making room for Shen Miao and the Daoist priest to talk undisrupted.

Shen Miao frowned at the Daoist priest. “Daoist priest, do you know something?”

As the Daoist priest put the slips into the bamboo tube, he said without looking up, “From reading your face, I can tell you are someone with a noble status. You should have a glorious life. Unfortunately… your fate was changed.”

Shen Miao said, “What do you mean by my fate being changed?” Her voice betrayed anxiety.

The Daoist priest stopped what he was doing and looked at her. “Your fate is very strange. There will be a great tribulation in your life. After this tribulation, your life will be smooth-sailing. However, the first slip you drew says that you can’t overcome the tribulation.”

“What’s my tribulation?” Shen Miao asked.
