Chapter 132 (1/2)
Although Ling Tian concealed his aura intentionally to prevent his inner Qi from emanating, he was still an inner Qi expert — no matter how ordinary he may look. Even if he walked in the bustling crowd, it was impossible for someone to b.u.mp into him without his notice at all! This was the natal instinct of an expert. Unless the person who b.u.mps into him is at the same level like him, a top-cla.s.s expert!
He turned around calmly and looked at the fortune teller with a smile which wasn’t like a smile.
The fortune teller looked like he was fifty to sixty years old; the color of his green robes had already faded from being washed too often. His loose clothes hung upon his skinny body and frail looking face. He had a thin beard and few strands of untidy white hair, with a haggard looking face as though he had not eaten for a few days already. He held up a green bamboo pole with a tattered white cloth with the words ‘100% Accurate’ written on it messily.
With a single look, he looked like an extremely poor scholar who had no choice but to come out and become a con artist. The way he looked, he did not seem the least bit reliable!
At this moment, he raised his head up while stroking his beard, trying his best to look like an elegant and refined scholar. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was just unable to mimic that elegance, making him seem even more vulgar.
”Fortune teller, you b.u.mped into this young n.o.ble.” While this green dressed man looked extremely vulgar, it made Ling Tian even more wary in his heart. The aura of a martial arts expert would definitely be leaked out no matter how hard they want to conceal it. If they want to completely conceal their aura, they would have to first reach the completed XianTian stage before being able to hide their aura completely. This fortune teller in front of him was someone like that, or at an even higher level!
Just when the storms were brewing in the Sky Bearing Empire, a top-notch expert like him actually appeared! An alarm bell immediately went off in Ling Tian’s head! He wouldn’t affect Ling Tian at all if he chose not to do anything. But the moment he decides to take action, he would definitely be a game changing factor in Ling Tian’s plans! But if he does not plan to do anything, why would he come to the Sky Bearing Empire at such a sensitive time?
Now, Ling Tian would not allow for there to be any uncertainties in his perfect plan! Thus, Ling Tian had to find out everything about this mysterious expert quickly! At the very least, Ling Tian will have to figure how great an effect this fortune teller would have on his plans.
”Fortune teller, you b.u.mped into this young n.o.ble.” This phrase, in the ears of a wise person would mean, ”I have found you, there is no need for you to continue hiding.”
”Ah ah, so sorry. The eyesight of this old man is failing. I never expected to disturb you, young n.o.ble. My crime deserves death.” This green dressed fortune teller bowed respectfully. As he straightened his back, his eyes landed immediately on Ling Tian’s face! All of a sudden, it seemed as though he found out about something and a trace of surprise flashed pa.s.sed his eyes before being quickly concealed. But, with the sharpness of Ling Tian’s eyes, he had already realized that flash of surprise in the fortune teller’s eyes and sneered in his heart.
”Young n.o.ble, aiyah, your facial features are really out of the ordinary. Your forehead is extremely full and face round…” As though it was a professional habit, the green dressed fortune teller began to help Ling Tian read his fortune. He rocked his head back and forth in a scholarly manner but his eyes were s.h.i.+ning with greed, as though he found a wealthy individual to extort.
”... this is the sign of being a dragon among the commoners, the face of an emperor and monarch of the pugilistic world. Your future is limitless.” Before the fortune teller could finish, Ling Tian had interrupted as they both of them said that same thing at the same time, starting and stopping at the same time without missing a single word. Even the tone of the ‘your future is limitless’ was completely the same! It was as though a teacher had just given a lesson and both the students were able to recite what the teacher said in unison and chemistry.
”Ah? Why do you know what I want to say? You are also from my sect…” As though he had seen a ghost, the green dressed fortune teller gasped. As he said that, the originally depressed Ling Chen and Yu BingYan began to burst out into giggles.
”Cheh! Nine out of ten of the con artists in the pugilistic world says the exact same thing. This young n.o.ble can already memorize the full script! You actually dared to try and scam me!” Ling Tian said with disdain. Looking at the fortune teller’s artificial expression, Ling Tian suddenly had the urge to smash his fist on the fortune teller’s face.
Acting like a pig to eat the tigers, hiding in secret to fool the crowd. That is this young n.o.ble’s trademark move! How dare you even try to mimic me! You are really thinking too highly of yourself!
”Err, ah ah ah, I see… hahaha, if that’s the case, this old man will take his leave.” As though he was left speechless, the green dressed fortune teller let out an awkward chuckle and wanted to escape.
”Mister, hold up!” How would it be possible for Ling Tian to let him do as he wish? Thus, Ling Tian quickly held onto the fortune teller’s sleeves. What a joke, if he were to really disappear into the crowd, it would be like a clay ox in the sea, impossible to ever find him again!
