Chapter 593: Chapter 589: I Don’t Believe in Fate

Bai Zhiqing was also startled, but she quickly composed herself and, staring at the elderly woman, curiously said, ”Lu Tianxing, how about we go over and let her tell our fortunes too?”

”No problem, if you like it that’s all that matters.”

Lu Tianxing gave the elderly woman a deep look and smiled as he nodded. Although she gave off an extremely dangerous vibe, there was no killing intent on her, making it clear that she harbored no malice towards him and Bai Zhiqing.

Just as Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were about to walk over, a young couple that had been lingering around her walked by, looking extremely annoyed.

”What happened, man? I just saw you wanting to get your fortune told, why did you suddenly leave?” Lu Tianxing reached out to the young couple walking by, curiously asking.

”Leave? If it weren’t for my girlfriend holding me back, I would have beaten that old woman to death. Can you believe her? She upset me by saying that my girlfriend and I wouldn’t last long, at most we would break up within a month. Puh, if it weren’t for her old age, I definitely would have slapped her to death. What a joke, cursing people like that?” The young man, grabbed by Lu Tianxing, ranted with great annoyance. Anyone would have been uncomfortable hearing from a fortune teller that their relationship with their girlfriend wouldn’t last.

”That’s not right! Shouldn’t fortune tellers always say nice things?” Bai Zhiqing curiously said.

”Who knows what that old woman is thinking, maybe she’s twisted inside.”

The young man glanced at Bai Zhiqing, a flash of strong admiration in his eyes, and said, ”If you guys still want to get your fortune told, I’d advise you not to go. That old woman is crazy, a real lunatic.”

After saying that, the young man was dragged away by his girlfriend.

”Lu Tianxing, the old woman spoke quite unpleasantly, maybe we shouldn’t go after all.” Watching the couple leave, Bai Zhiqing thought for a moment and said unsurely.

Although fortune telling is something you might believe it or not, if it’s too unpleasant to hear, it always feels distressing.

”I think that the old woman was telling the truth.” Lu Tianxing watched the young couple leaving and slowly said.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing was stunned, ”The truth? Do you also think they will break up in a month? Do you know how to tell fortunes? I didn’t know that.”

”I’m not sure, and I can’t tell fortunes.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, ”I could tell from looking. Didn’t you notice the disparity between that young couple? The man was dressed nicely, but his clothes weren’t high quality. They cost at most ten yuan, a hundred yuan a piece. It’s clear that his salary isn’t high. Now look at the woman. Her clothes cost at least a thousand yuan each, and the bag she was carrying is a designer brand. All together she wore upwards of ten thousand yuan. Moreover, the way that woman looked at her boyfriend carried a hint of dissatisfaction, probably dissatisfied with her boyfriend’s income. Do you think such love can last? It only takes a spark to set off a blaze.”

”Perhaps she was dissatisfied with something else. Does love have to be based on material things?” Bai Zhiqing replied, somewhat puzzled.

”Maybe!”

Lu Tianxing did not linger on this topic, changing the subject he said, ”Honey, are we still going over?”

”Let’s go. Good advice jars on the ear, and if the old woman says something unpleasant, well, we just won’t believe it.”

Saying this, Bai Zhiqing pulled Lu Tianxing and walked briskly over.

Once they approached, the elderly woman finally lifted her head and slowly said, ”Fate brings people together. What do you wish to find out? Your romantic destiny, your financial prospects, or something else?”

The voice of the elderly woman was soft, as if coming from the clouds, giving an ethereal, elusive sensation.

Lu Tianxing didn’t speak, just quietly observed the woman. Suddenly, a flash of realization seemed to cross his mind as he exclaimed in shock, ”Divine Fortune Teller.”

”Divine Fortune Teller?”

When Bai Zhiqing heard Lu Tianxing’s words, she asked in confusion, ”Lu Tianxing, what are you talking about? What is a ’Divine Fortune Teller’?”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, ”Honey, you should know there are many remarkable and peculiar people in this world, and individuals like Liu Bowen and Yuan Tiangang are among the most distinguished masters, who can predict unfailingly, enabling people to draw good luck and avoid bad luck.”

The legend of the Divine Fortune Teller is said to have inherited Yuan Tiangang’s lineage, a line that passes only from one person to another, and all the disciples taken by the Divine Fortune Teller’s lineage are blind, intended to prevent fortune tellers from reading people’s fortunes based on their appearance. Moreover, the Divine Fortune Teller always sought fate in her clients; meeting her to have your fortune told was your destiny, and not meeting her was also your destiny. More importantly, the Divine Fortune Teller never missed in her predictions, and many important figures who sought her guidance found her predictions unfailingly accurate.”

After Lu Tianxing finished speaking, the elderly woman finally slowly said, ”Young man, have you seen me before?”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, ”No, I’ve only heard of you.”

”Then do you need your fortune told?” The elderly woman didn’t want to linger on that topic and asked.

”I don’t need it.”

”Why?” The elderly woman asked curiously, as in her heart, everyone was eager to know their future so they could try to change everything; very few chose not to know.

”No reason, the path I walk on is the path under my feet. The path I have walked is my destiny; as it is said, fate is inescapable. Even if I know my fate, so what? Whether it is calculated or not, what difference does it make? I only believe the path under my feet is my future, my destiny. I believe in the path under my feet,” Lu Tianxing said faintly.

”Is that so? I hope you won’t regret the path you’ve chosen, and I hope you can live to continue down it.”

The old woman lifted her snowy white eyeballs and sighed deeply, saying to Bai Zhiqing, ”Little girl, do you need your fortune told?”

”I....”

Bai Zhiqing hesitated slightly and glanced at Lu Tianxing before saying, ”Can you tell me if there’s marital fate between him and me, if we can grow old together?”

Lu Tianxing looked astonished; he hadn’t expected Bai Zhiqing to ask that question.

”Holding hands together and growing old with you, the two of you are predestined spouses, destined to grow old together. However....”

The old woman responded to Bai Zhiqing’s question without hesitation, but before she could finish speaking, Bai Zhiqing interrupted, ”Granny, you don’t need to continue. I don’t want to know what comes next.”

”Why?” asked the old woman, surprised. This was the second time she had heard such a response in her career as a fortune teller; the first being Lu Tianxing.

”I don’t want to know too much; life is colorful because it is unknown. Besides, I believe he won’t leave me; that is enough for me. Why bother knowing too much? It only adds unnecessary worries,” Bai Zhiqing said with a smile.

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, the old woman’s brows suddenly furrowed, and she sighed lightly, saying, ”What will be will be, and what won’t be, shouldn’t be forced. So it goes, so it goes, even in fortune telling. In this life, why insist? The unknown life is the most splendid. It is sad and pity-worthy that there are always people who want to know their fate, not realizing the more they know, the sadder they become. Alas....”

”Granny, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong just now?”

”It’s not your fault.”

The old woman sighed and said, ”Just do as you see fit! Young people, since you’ve chosen your path, be steadfast and don’t give up halfway. But be careful, especially tonight; a deadly peril is approaching. Take care....”

”I’ll remember that, thank you.”

Lu Tianxing nodded solemnly.

”Ah!”

The old woman sighed again, gently bending down to roll up the white cloth in front of her, and began to stagger towards the distance.

Despite her seemingly faltering steps, which seemed far yet near, she disappeared in just a few steps, as if vanishing into thin air.

Watching the old woman disappear, Lu Tianxing slowly withdrew his gaze and curiously asked Bai Zhiqing, ”Wife, why didn’t you let her finish talking just now?”

”Why should I listen to all that? Even if fate is fully explained, what could it change? You’re not planning on defying fate and leaving me, are you?”

”Of course not—you’re my official wife. When I have built up the three palaces and six courtyards, you’ll be the Empress of the Eastern Palace, managing the harem for me,” Lu Tianxing chuckled.

”Go die!”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s cheeky remarks, Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a disdainful look. This jerk was always ruining the mood; couldn’t he say something romantic for once?

”Not going to die, if I did, wouldn’t you become a widow?” Lu Tianxing said laughingly, pulling Bai Zhiqing along as they walked forward.

Suddenly, Lu Tianxing halted, a strong sense of crisis emerging from his heart—an indicator of imminent danger. He scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze but saw nothing unusual. Yet it was this lack of abnormality that unsettled Lu Tianxing even further.

”Wife, let’s go check that place out!” Lu Tianxing said, pointing to a sparsely populated area.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s suggestion, Bai Zhiqing was momentarily taken aback. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lu Tianxing wink at her. She instantly understood, recalling the words the old woman had said to Lu Tianxing—deadly peril was upon them.

Could it be true?

”Yeah.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded softly.

The reason to head to a less crowded area was because Lu Tianxing did not want to take action here. More importantly, he needed to send a message to Mandala, urging her to hurry over to protect Bai Zhiqing.

Moreover, Lu Tianxing believed that if someone was indeed targeting him tonight, they would certainly follow them.
