Chapter 529 - Chapter 529 Peer Into Human Hearts (2/2)

“Sect Leader Chen, you must be joking. Many Sect Leaders in the Daoist sect can safely descend from such heights! You were chosen by the elders, such a height is nothing to you.”

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, as he still felt a bellyful of frustration boiling inside him.

Without fussing further, he opened the helicopter door and leapt out.

After landing steadily, the helicopter took off into the distance.

Chen Yu simply looked up, before making his way into the small town.

The small towns in the southern borderlands each had their own unique features, and this city was a typical tourist city.

Built against a mountain, with picturesque scenery, a small river flowed slowly along the mountain range. An array of guest houses lined the riverbank, and distinctive cuisine could be seen everywhere you turned; the rich aromas nearly filled the entire city.

Chen Yu didn’t bother with the details and casually sat down at a food stall, ordering two bowls of brain flowers.

It had to be said that the pig brain delicacy here was unparalleled; Chen Yu had caught its fragrance while on the helicopter.

Just as he was wolfing down his meal, he suddenly noticed a young girl of about ten standing by the roadside, shaking a tin can that clearly jingled with the sound of coins.

Chen Yu frowned, wondering how in this day and age there were still people begging in the streets.

However, the girl’s clothes were neat and didn’t really fit the image of a beggar.

He unconsciously extended his system’s coverage, only to have it repelled by a magnetic field.

Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless; ever since he had discovered the existence of individuals with supernatural powers in this world, he had encountered quite a few of them.

The magnetic field emanating from the little girl standing before him was overwhelmingly powerful.

His system, now upgraded, still couldn’t penetrate it.

After quickly finishing his brain flowers, Chen Yu curiously walked over.

“Little sister, what are you doing here?”

The girl lifted her head, her watery eyes appearing extremely pure.

“Big brother, do you want your fortune told? Just one Gold Coin, and I can answer any question you have.”

Only then did Chen Yu realize that the bowl in the girl’s hands was filled with pure gold coins.

Each one was quite heavy, the smallest weighing at least ten grams.

Having no gold with him, Chen Yu placed a gold-embossed jade medallion into her bowl.

The next moment, an extremely powerful magnetic field enveloped them.

[System alert: Detected an unidentified magnetic field.]

[Autonomous defense function activated, magnetic field has been blocked.]

[Anti-surveillance feature launched, scanning the other party’s brain information.]

[Unable to penetrate the magnetic field barrier of the opposing side.]

As the system alert sounded, the girl also seemed startled and unconsciously took a couple of steps back.

“Big brother, do you possess the same abilities as me?”

Chen Yu didn’t try to hide it and reached out to ruffle the little girl’s hair.

“I’m curious, if you have such abilities, why are you reading fortunes on the street? Is someone forcing you?”

The girl’s body quivered slightly, her gaze beginning to shift evasively.

She seemed hesitant about something but lacked the resolve to decide.

After a moment, she clutched her gold coins and fled in panic.

Chen Yu frowned; although he couldn’t see through the young girl’s heart, he was certain that she was under someone’s control.

Without thinking too much, he immediately gave chase.
