”Cough, cough!”
Fuyun had already seen the old woman coming to find her. He had guessed that she would not reject her.
It was enough to say that the old woman was also someone who understood the general situation. He was not a heartless person, so he could not remain indifferent.
He had come uninvited, just in time for the old woman to avoid the extra distance.
”Senior Brother, I was just about to invite you!”
No matter what, she would not allow the old woman to personally go see her senior brother. Fortunately, her senior brother came uninvited, or else, who knew how long he would have to struggle against her.
”Greetings Immortal master!”
When the old woman heard that the leader of the group had arrived, she immediately paid her respects to Fu Yun. Just as she was about to lean over, she realized that she couldn't move, so she had no choice but to give up.
”It doesn't matter if he's human or immortal. In the end, there's no difference.”
”Old man, you don't have to bow, I know why you're here!”
Fuyun's appearance was not much younger than the old woman, and his real age was countless times older than hers.
This old man always gave people a strange feeling.
The old woman couldn't move, so he couldn't bear to see her bow to him, so he sent out his divine sense to stop her.
”Please offer me your guidance, immortal master!”
The old woman had lost her husband and a son. Because she had spiritual roots, she was selected by the cultivation sects and brought to the cultivation world for cultivation.
In the first few years, her son would often come back to visit her. He would even bring some spiritual objects from the cultivation world to honor her, and he would even bring some belongings home. The two of them lived a very fulfilling life.
Afterwards, it was unknown since when her son rarely came home to visit her, but after that, there was no news of him.
If she wasn't worried that her son would use the money she brought home, she would have been too frugal to let go of the random flowers. Otherwise, she would have to beg for a living for decades to come.
There had been many fortune-tellers in the city before, and the old woman had always been there to help her son along.
Those fortune-tellers were all common people, so how could they calculate the fate of cultivators? The old woman was tricked into giving away a large amount of money, but in the end, she did not manage to do anything.
Now the old woman had heard that a strange fortune-teller had come to the city and was still coming to prophesy.
Knowing that the fortune-teller's request was weird and was only to tell the fortune of the fated, she didn't care too much about it for her son and insisted on coming over to give it a try.
Her son had been very obedient and filial at a young age. He had not returned home for so many years, and it was likely that his fate would not be good. No one was willing to believe that her son was still alive.
”Old man, your son is still alive!”
The woman must have insisted on telling him fortune telling, not for his own sake, but for her son's. Anyone who knew how to read people's minds would have guessed that, let alone Fu Yun.
It was precisely because those who knew how to read people could guess that the old woman was a diviner that many black-hearted fortune-tellers had cheated her of almost all her family possessions over the years.
Since Immortal Master knew the purpose of her visit, the old woman believed it once again.
When she found out from the immortal master that her son was still alive, her tears flowed profusely. All these years of waiting were all for the sake of these words. Huang Tianliang would never let her down.
”Immortal master, can I still see my son?”
The old woman was in her late twenties and her movements were too slow. She had already stepped into hell with one foot and was ready to leave at any moment. However, before she died, she really wanted to see her son again.
”Only when the old man is alive can there be hope. If I keep living, I will always be able to see him!”
Who could continue to live? How long could a mortal live?
There were several people who could live past a hundred years old. It was already difficult for an old woman to walk, so how could she continue living?
Live, can I really see my own child?
”Thank you immortal master, this old man understands!”
Knowing that her son was still alive and still had hope of meeting him, the old woman was truly happy. She instantly felt several years younger and insisted on bowing to Fu Yun.
”Old man, there's no need to be so courteous!”
As long as he didn't kneel down, he could accept it. The old woman was grateful to him; if he continued to refuse, then it would cause her uneasiness. Fuyun didn't refuse anymore.
”Immortal, thank you. These seashells might be a little few. I hope you don't mind!”
I heard that immortal masters only charge them for a meal or for a night's sleep.
The old woman didn't know how much Immortal Teacher and Heaven's Gift could spend on a meal, but she did know that in a big city, the cost of staying overnight was still very high.
All these years, in order to find out where her son was, the old woman had been cheated out of her money by many people.
However, for her son's sake, she took out the remaining living expenses and borrowed some money from her neighbors.
The money she had collected couldn't even cover the cost of a night's living. Embarrassed, she struggled to pull out the several dozen seashells she had prepared.
”Old man, take the money back!”
”Keep this money and live a good life. In the future, don't ever ask fortune-teller about your divination again!”
Fuyun either didn't know his fortune, or he took money for his fortune. This was the first time he didn't take money.
