134: Chapter 134: Great Misfortune 134: Chapter 134: Great Misfortune Ye Qingqing’s hint, Liu Chang understood in an instant.
“Chen Hai, Qingqing and I know best what we like to eat!”
“Just leave the ordering of more dishes to me, you’d better stay in the private room and do the divination for Qingqing!”
“Do the divination for me, and if you don’t do it for her, given her temperament, she probably won’t be able to sleep for several nights!”
Liu Chang chuckled and called out to Chen Hai before she opened the door of the private room and walked out.
Seeing this, Chen Hai felt somewhat helpless.
He took out the three Copper Coins used for divination, looked at Ye Qingqing with a wry smile, and said, “Sister Qing, there’s definitely no problem with me doing your divination!”
“But I’m a straightforward person, whatever the result I divine, that’s the result, and I won’t talk nonsense or mislead you about it.”
“Still, the same old phrase, once I finish the divination and the result is out, if you don’t like what I say, just take it as a joke and laugh it off.”
With prior experience before him, he also worried that a casually done divination would reveal some bizarre things.
At this moment, his words were also a kind of precautionary warning to Ye Qingqing.
“Don’t worry, Chen Hai, your Sister Qing isn’t someone who gets angry over nothing!”
“If you can really predict a bloody disaster for me this month, it just shows your skill.
What would I have to be upset about!”
Ye Qingqing answered with a laugh, of course, she didn’t forget to tease Chen Hai in the process.
“Sister Qing, can you be serious?
Let’s not talk about bloody disasters when I do the divination, okay?”
Chen Hai murmured, his face helpless and grimacing.
“Alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.
Just do a divination for me first!” Seeing Chen Hai’s expression, Ye Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled, responding.
“Mhm!” Chen Hai nodded lightly and put his hands together, placing the three Copper Coins in his palm.
His hands came together, forming a hollow shape, rocking up and down a few times.
With a clang.
He opened his hands, and the three Copper Coins fell onto the table in front of him.
All three Copper Coins showed the yin face, indicating an old yin Gua.
Chen Hai frowned slightly, picked up several Copper Coins from the table, and continued the divination.
Soon, after six divinations, the Gua symbols were combined.
This was a hybrid Gua, (below Dui above Xun) stacked, called Wind and Lake, also known as Zhong Fu Gua.
Among the Sixty-four Gua, this one ranked sixty-first.
“People in haste on the road, crossing thin ice with no bridge in hurry, be careful and you can pass safely, one wrong step and you fall into the water.”
Chen Hai silently recited the deciphering of the Gua a few times, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, both eyebrows already meeting in the middle.
“Chen Hai?
Why aren’t you speaking?”
“What exactly did you divine?
Just tell me the truth!”
“I promised you earlier that no matter how unpleasant what you say is, I will definitely never get angry.”
“I’m someone who keeps their word, if I promised, I will definitely not go back on it!”
Seeing Chen Hai’s expression, Ye Qingqing pouted and complained dissatisfied.
With a creak, the private room door opened, and Liu Chang, who had gone out to order more dishes, came back in.
“Chen Hai, stop holding back, what exactly did you divine for Qingqing, let’s hear it?”
Sitting beside Ye Qingqing, opposite Chen Hai, Liu Chang looked on curiously and asked.
Frowning and silent for a while, Chen Hai let out a long sigh.
He finally spoke, “This divination, highly ominous, within half a month, you are bound to face a calamity, life or death uncertain!”
“Sister Qing, don’t blame me for speaking harshly, the Gua is just so!”
“However, historically, Heaven doesn’t seal off all exits, what seems highly ominous might not necessarily be completely devoid of a sliver of a chance…”
Although Ye Qingqing had promised not to get angry or furious, her complexion still turned somewhat unsightly after hearing Chen Hai’s words.
Gathering together was meant to be joyful, but now, Chen Hai’s words seemed like a curse on Ye Qingqing’s possible mishap, truly dampening the mood.
“What trouble can I, Ye Qingqing, possibly encounter here in the Capital City?”
“You fortune-tellers only know how to spout nonsense and alarm people.”
“Chen Hai, you’re a decent college student, carrying around a few Copper Coins for casual divination is acceptable.”
“I hadn’t expected you to have picked up those vulgar tricks of deceiving people from those Jianghu magicians!”
“If I believed your nonsense, would I also need to spend a great deal of money to invite you, the ‘grandmaster,’ to help me avert disaster?”
Clearly displeased, Ye Qingqing tightened her face and hummed lightly.
For men, once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase after even the fastest horse, this saying applies to men, not women.
In front of men, promises they make can be instantly forgotten.
Indeed, Ye Qingqing’s personality is quite good.
But now, after hearing Chen Hai mention she might die within half a month, she still felt incredibly annoyed.
“What kind of nonsense are you spouting?
Are these kinds of jokes really something you can casually make?”
“And you aren’t hurrying to admit your mistake and apologize to your Sister Qing!”
Liu Chang, by their side, glared fiercely at Chen Hai and quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Sister Qing, Sister Chang, I might joke around in other matters, but when it comes to divination, I never make such mistakes!”
“Believe it or not, my words end here, and I have done my duty.”
“For the sake of our acquaintance, I’ll leave you my pager number.”
“If you need to find me, just page me directly!”
After sighing, Chen Hai found a sticky note, wrote down his pager number, and handed it over to the table in front of Liu Chang.
What was originally a harmonious meal had turned into this situation, and he indeed bore the responsibility.
However, he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with honestly sharing the results of his divination.
Of course, both women, Ye Qingqing, were not wrong either.
After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing they might die within half a month during a joyful meal.
Chen Hai himself hesitated for a while before deciding whether to disclose to Ye Qingqing the results of the divination.
But in the end, he chose not to conceal it.
Because in his eyes, Ye Qingqing was a good person, telling her might upset her, but at least it would serve as a warning.
“To the two senior sisters, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay here and continue to affect your mood!”
After leaving his pager number to Liu Chang, Chen Hai stayed briefly in the private room.
Ye Qingqing remained stern, visibly upset, while Liu Chang occasionally gave Chen Hai meaningful glances, reprimanding him a bit.
Feeling there was no point in staying any longer, Chen Hai stood up, greeted the two women, and then turned to walk outside.
