Chapter 062 Tiger Crouching, Dragon Coiling
“A gentleman can be deceived by his principles. With Du Zizhan’s cultivation, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to see through the demoness’s weakness. It’s just that Brother Du is an upright person and would never make baseless accusations against an innocent boss, which is why he was taken advantage of by this demoness.” Yuan Daotong was not arrogant at all and chatted with Lin Fei in a very familiar manner: “It is the Daoist’s keen observation that allowed him to find the demoness’s weakness. Compared to my opportunistic divination skills, this is much more impressive.”
One of them was a charlatan skilled in divination, and the other was a genius who had lived two lives. They praised each other so much that it made people's skin crawl with envy.
Yuan Qing, however, was far less thick-skinned than the two of them. He pouted and said, "Brother, what are you saying? Our Yuan family's divination techniques are no small matter! This little Taoist priest, on the other hand, is nothing special. Hmph, he saw the flaw in that demoness's hand; perhaps he really is, as she said, a disreputable fellow!"
"Ah Qing, don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Daotong immediately looked very embarrassed: "My younger brother speaks without thinking, please don't take offense, Daoist Mingxin."
"Where did he say anything nonsense?" Yuan Qing pouted, unconvinced. "Brother, let this little Taoist priest witness our family's divination skills. Otherwise, he might just be saying something insincere to flatter us!"
It's unclear why Yuan Qing seems to be targeting Lin Fei, whether intentionally or unintentionally. However, Lin Fei, having lived two lives, naturally wouldn't bother with a child like that, especially with Yuan Daotong present.
"Very well, I would also like to see the famous Tui Bei Tu of the Yuan family. Brother Yuan, why don't you let me broaden my horizons?" Lin Fei spoke sincerely; he really wanted to see if this divination technique was as miraculous as the legends said.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Daotong nodded and said, "Then, I will make a fool of myself!"
As he spoke, Yuan Daotong flipped his hand and took out a compass. He closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and muttered something in a mysterious way.
"The Heavenly Mandate returns to its source, the Way of Change reveals destiny, open!" After chanting for a while, Yuan Daotong suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.
The compass in his hand also instantly emitted a golden light. Yuan Daotong stared intently at the compass in his hand, and saw that the phantom of a fierce tiger slowly condensed in the golden light.
"A tiger crouching in a defensive posture? This is extraordinary!" Yuan Daotong sighed, his concentration increasing.
The tiger phantom suddenly transformed into a blue dragon, seemingly roaring to the sky, with several chains faintly visible on its body, tightly binding the dragon.
"A dragon coiled up? No, it's a trapped dragon!" Yuan Daotong's praise suddenly turned into astonishment.
The images of dragon and tiger appeared alternately on the natal chart, making Yuan Daotong's jaw almost drop: "This, this, a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, its nobility is beyond words! Who exactly is this little Taoist priest? Interesting, I must find out the reason!"
Yuan Daotong held the compass in one hand, then suddenly reached out and bit his fingertip, a drop of blood falling onto the compass. He had originally intended to make a casual calculation, but now, seeing an opportunity, he couldn't resist using his best skill.
"Ding!"
"Someone has detected the system. The system is automatically activating its anti-detection function!"
……
Just then, a system notification sounded in Lin Fei's mind.
"My goodness, this Yuan the charlatan is really something else, he can even affect the system!" Lin Fei was startled by the sudden system notification, and he no longer dared to underestimate Yuan Daotong, this eccentric guy.
Yuan Daotong was also unlucky. His divination skills, which were usually invincible, unfortunately ran into a cheat code like the system. The fate plate in his hand cracked inch by inch, and the golden light disappeared completely. Yuan Daotong himself also spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", his face was extremely pale, as if he had been hit hard.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Yuan Qing immediately helped Yuan Daotong, who was swaying and looked like he might fall at any moment, and asked anxiously.
"Brother Yuan, are you alright?" Lin Fei asked with concern, even though he knew what had happened.
"Don't come any closer!" Yuan Daotong jumped back several steps like a startled rabbit, looking at Lin Fei with fear in his eyes.
"Ahem, I was momentarily flustered and made you laugh, Daoist Master." After a moment of panic, Yuan Daotong quickly regained his composure and put away the horoscope as if nothing had happened. "Daoist Master, your destiny is exceptionally noble. My cultivation is insufficient, so I cannot make any predictions. Please do not take offense."
Yuan Daotong's face was still deathly pale, as if he had been seriously injured. He seemed to be filled with fear of Lin Fei, and he didn't even want to get close to Lin Fei when he spoke.
For a charlatan, what terrifies him most is probably the feeling of powerlessness when he has absolutely no control over the future. And Lin Fei experienced this powerlessness firsthand.
Lin Fei's destiny, while undeniably noble, wasn't entirely unpredictable. However, just as Yuan Daotong attempted to analyze it in detail, he seemed to have struck a wall, unable to advance even an inch. It was as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat. Had he not stopped in time, refraining from further deductions, the consequences would have been far more severe than mere injury.
"Unfathomable, unfathomable. I never felt this way even when facing my father. Could it be the legendary power of the Heavenly Dao?" Yuan Daotong felt extremely wary of Lin Fei and vowed never to provoke this guy again.
"Brother Yuan, what happened to you? You look injured." Just then, Du Zizhan, who had gone out to track down those evil sect members, also returned: "Could there be any remnants of the evil path here? Who is so powerful that they could injure Brother Yuan?"
Yuan Daotong naturally couldn't admit that it was due to his lack of skill that he suffered a backlash. Moreover, he was determined not to provoke Lin Fei, nor would he reveal Lin Fei's extraordinary destiny to anyone. He casually wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing. I've been doing too much divination, and my health has always been poor. I habitually cough up blood!"
Seeing that Du Zizhan still looked doubtful, Yuan Daotong immediately changed the subject: "Brother Zizhan, how did it go when you went to chase after those heretical people? Did you manage to wipe them all out?"
Upon hearing about those heretical sects, Du Zizhan lost all interest in dealing with Yuan Daotong's matter. He shook his head worriedly, "We did kill a few, but I didn't expect they had so many experts waiting for them outside the city. All the slightly stronger ones escaped. It seems that these heretical fellows were well-prepared to compete with us. I'm afraid this exorcism won't be so simple."
