Chapter 135 (1/2)
Following which, he heard Ling Chen saying softly, ”Miss Yu, young n.o.ble is still talking to that sir. Why not we wait for him outside.” After which, a soft, grudging acknowledgement could be heard as both Ling Chen and Yu BingYan walked out of the door.
”Ah ah, Mister is straightforward and upright, kind-hearted and honest. The meticulous and careful mind which Mister has really leave me in awe!” Ling Tian’s expression was unchanged, as though Ling Chen and Yu BingYan had never came before. He looked towards the green dressed fortune teller and said half-jokingly.
At the same time, Ling Tian waved the sleeves of his robes and the traces of their compet.i.tion was completely removed from the table.
For Ling Tian to not praise the green dressed fortune teller for his martial arts but his meticulous mind, he naturally had his own reasons. The green dressed fortune teller also understood what Ling Tian meant and laughed, ”Young n.o.ble is the brilliant one. At such a young age, you are able to have such a deep cultivation and brilliant character. In the decades of roaming about the secular would, it is the first time I met a talent such as yourself.”
Ling Tian smiled and reached for another tea set. Then, he poured out a gla.s.s of tea calmly and raised in towards the green dressed fortune teller respectfully, ”I have not asked what your name it?”
As though he was reminiscing, the green dressed fortune teller said, ”This old man had roamed the pugilistic world for decades and have never mentioned my name. If you did not ask me about it today, this old man would have probably forgotten about my name.” with a smile, he replied, ”This old man has a surname of Ye and is called QingChen, Ye QingChen.”
Ling Tian replied with an ‘oh’ and did not say any pleasantries like ‘I have long heard of your great name’ or ‘I have been looking forward to meeting you’. Ye QingChen was indeed a name which was completely foreign to Ling Tian. If not for the fact that Ling Tian was certain about the green dressed fortune teller’s character, Ling Tian would have probably thought that this name was something made up on the spot. If he were to really reply with such pleasantries, not to mention what the green dressed fortune teller would think, he would only feel disdain towards himself. Such words were just far too hypocritical! Besides, the green dressed fortune teller in front of him was obviously an extraordinary character who wanted to conceal himself. Based on his observation, Ling Tian was certain that the green dressed fortune teller was not lying.
”There are talents in the secular world and geniuses in the wilderness; Mister Ye is indeed worthy of this saying.” Ling Tian praised. Up until now, he did not mention about their previous fight, as though he had completely forgotten about the matter.
A tinge of praise filled Ye QingChen’s eyes, ”You flatter me, young n.o.ble is indeed a phoenix amongst the birds.” as he said that, he studied Ling Tian’s face while stroking his beard.
”Young n.o.ble’s physiognomy is really interesting. This old man had helped countless of people tell their fortune in my lifetime. While I have seen a physiognomy like your before…” Ye QingChen’s expression gradually grew serious as he studied Ling Tian’s face seriously, with shock filling his face as time went on.
”Why did Mister stop halfway? Is Mister going to say that my forehead is an auspicious sign and I have a spiritual light in my eyes indicative that I am the reincarnation of a celestial? Or are you going to say that the responsibility of saving the world will lie on my shoulders?” Ling Tian joked.
”While you are not on point, you are not too far off. Did one of my fellow Mysterious Sect member tell your fortune before or help to change your fortune? No wonder!” The green dressed fortune teller said with realization.
”Oh? Ah ah, Mister, where did that come from? I was only joking previously!” Ling Tian was someone who did not believe in fortune telling at all. It can’t be helped, there were just far too many con artists in his previous life. Ling Tian was certain that if he were to cover his eyes with a black cloth and help others tell their fortune on the streets, he would also make a fortune out from that for sure.
”Young n.o.ble’s physiognomy is one of prosperity and will not have any worries in your life, there is no need for me to explain this. What makes me puzzled is young n.o.ble’s lifeline; young n.o.ble’s mountain roots are broken and you are missing the golden pillar. This is a sign of one who would die early. I once met someone with a similar physiognomy as young n.o.ble. Even with the protection of the meritorious deeds of his ancestors, he was unable to live past ten years of age. However, young n.o.ble had already lived pa.s.sed that limit. Furthermore, eh?! This… this is far too strange…” Ye QingChen began to mumble to himself and was shocked by his own words.
”With young n.o.ble’s physiognomy, you should have pa.s.sed away more than a decade ago. How can you still be alive on this world? This is not the most peculiar thing… if an expert from the Mysterious Sect used the Heaven Stealing Life Changing Art… but you…” perspiration began to flow down Ye QingChen’s face as he mumbled.
”Mister?” Ling Tian began to frown as he thought to himself, ”What’s with this fellow? Is he trying to scare me?”
”Young n.o.ble’s mountain roots are destroyed… for someone who has such a physiognomy, it’s either you die in your mother’s womb or pa.s.s away shortly after being born. There has not been an exception up till now. Young n.o.ble does not have a single trace of my Mysterious Sect’s mystical means but you are able to live till today and even have an extraordinary ability. The lack of the golden pillar is really something puzzling! The golden pillar is special term which only my sect uses. It refers to the lifeline of a person. As long as a person is alive, the golden pillar would definitely not show signs of being broken. The moment it is broken, it can be seen from even a corpse! This… this…”
