Chapter 48 How did you tell my fortune?
Sheng Yunjiao hated Sheng Yunzhu's constant admonitions to be kind, and without thinking, she retorted.
"There is no daughter in the world more filial and considerate than you, Sheng Yunzhu. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to go to the temple to cultivate in seclusion and pray for your aunt's well-being? You and the fairy have always been on good terms. Surely you are a much better disciple than Yangyang, right?"
"Of course I'm willing, but I..." Sheng Yunzhu looked at everyone with teary eyes, as if she had countless unspeakable sorrows and grievances, and in the end she could only lower her head helplessly.
“Good child, Grandma knows you are the most filial, and your mother knows it too. Your mother has always doted on you the most…” Old Madam Li comforted Sheng Yunzhu, who was standing beside her, by pulling her into her arms with heartache.
“Grandmother, Father, Jiaojiao is right. I am the one who should have left. Whether or not I can help Mother get better, I am willing to go to the temple to pray for her. I only hope that Heaven will take pity on my sincerity and let Mother get better soon…” Sheng Yunzhu said, looking up with tears in her eyes.
“Good child, you should stay home and take good care of your mother. Your mother knows your intentions, and we all know them too.” Old Madam Li took a handkerchief to wipe Sheng Yunzhu’s tears, then said to Lu Yangyang with disgust, “Unlike some people, who are truly heartless and ungrateful.”
“Well said, well said,” the Fairy Maiden Shangshan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: “I was just trying to be kind and couldn’t bear to see this young lady in such a miserable state. I had no other intentions. As a nun, I would never force anyone to do something against their will. Since this young lady does not wish to go back with me, I will naturally not force her.”
After saying this, she bowed again to Duke Sheng and Madam Li and said, "I have said all I have to say, so I will not bother you any longer. Farewell."
Then we had to walk outside.
"Fairy Maiden, Fairy Maiden, please wait! These are just children, they don't know any better. Please don't take offense at them. To be favored by you and become your disciple is a blessing that cannot be earned even in several lifetimes. We sincerely want to help them achieve this. Please rest assured, we will send her to Qinglian Temple later. We will need your help in the future." Old Madam Li was afraid that Fairy Maiden Shangshan would leave like this, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay: "Fairy Maiden, it is rare for you to come to our mansion. I have already asked someone to prepare a vegetarian meal. Please come and stay."
The Fairy of Goodness turned around and smiled, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam. You are a great philanthropist and will surely be blessed in the future. Today, I have to go to the Princess's residence, so it is really inconvenient for me to stay any longer."
With that, he walked outside.
She had just reached Lu Yangyang's side when Lu Yangyang stopped her: "Fairy, what's your hurry?"
The Fairy of Supreme Kindness frowned slightly.
Lu Yangyang was not tall, more than a head shorter than the Fairy of Goodness wearing a lotus crown. She couldn't reach the other's shoulder, but touching the other's lower back was no problem. She took a step back and her hand naturally landed on the Fairy of Goodness's lower back.
Caught completely off guard, the Fairy Maiden of Supreme Goodness felt a sharp pain in her waist, and the next instant, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to her knees.
Lu Yangyang stepped on her shoulder and pressed down. Shangshan Fairy felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her shoulder, making her unable to move at all. Her kind face was instantly covered with a layer of cold sweat.
"I already said, what's the rush? You ran off before you even finished speaking. Fairy, you call yourself a famous Taoist master in the capital, is this all you've got? Didn't you say you were a master strategist? You should calculate whether you can even get out of this door today!" Lu Yangyang asked with a smile.
"Nonsense! Lu Yangyang, let go of me! I already warned you last time!" Duke Sheng's face was extremely ugly. He was always shrewd and decisive, and everything was under his plan and control. Only Lu Yangyang seemed to be sent by heaven to cause him trouble.
He didn't care about this daughter, but when he thought about how Lan Shi had made a huge fuss with him over Lu Yangyang, he couldn't really do anything to her.
The few moments of his loss of composure in his life probably all fell on this daughter.
"So you're already angry? You've put on such a big show to deal with a thirteen-year-old girl like me, and I haven't even gotten angry. What are you getting so upset about? You've got some nerve." Lu Yangyang's lips curled into a sneer, but her face remained expressionless.
The more trouble she encounters, the more composed she becomes. Life experience has taught her that even at the very last moment, you must not let others see through your thoughts.
"I was just admiring this Fairy Shangshan's abilities and asked her a few questions. Why are you all so agitated?" Lu Yangyang lowered her head, grabbed Fairy Shangshan's hair, and forced her to look up at her.
Lu Yangyang smiled and asked, "I've heard that you are extremely skilled in physiognomy, but I'm very curious. I haven't shown my whole face since I met you. How did you tell my fortune?"
"dont you agree?"
Shangshan Fairy felt suffocated by the pressure, and then something pricked her lower back, making her feel weak and sore below the waist, and she couldn't even feel her lower body.
She has been pampered for so long, how could she have ever suffered such grievances?
He couldn't maintain his expression for a moment, and a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, Sheng Yunzhu's voice woke her up in time, "Sister Yangyang, Fairy Shangshan is a guest. Even if you have something to ask, you can't do it like this. This is the capital. You must not bring trouble to the manor!"
"You wretched child! Release the fairy maiden at once!" Old Madam Li shouted.
"What's the rush, Fairy? I'm asking you a question, just answer honestly. Aren't you monks supposed to be honest and believe in the equality of all beings, and like to do good deeds and accumulate merit? Well then, you should accumulate some merit too, and give me a proper reading so I can see how accurate you are. I've always respected people who earn their living through their skills the most."
Lu Yangyang asked her, "I'm wearing a mask, can you make an accurate prediction? Yes or no? You'd better think it through before you speak. If you encounter someone like me again in the future, be careful not to make a mistake and have someone come and ruin your business."
The Fairy of Supreme Virtue gritted her teeth, not wanting to answer, but the pain prevented her from thinking too much, so she could only reply, "No."
“Very good,” Lu Yangyang nodded, then looked at the others: “You all heard that, right?”
"Look carefully, then you can calculate it for me." Lu Yangyang raised her hand and took off the mask on her face. She had never hidden the scar on her face, so the scar was still extremely hideous when it was exposed. Her face was small, and the old scar under her eye almost took up half of her face, almost reaching the corner of her lips.
Extremely terrifying.
She stared at the Fairy of Goodness like a demon: "Do you see clearly? If you see clearly, then calculate again. Have I, the one you call a cursed lone star, destined to be lonely all my life, already killed off all my blood relatives? Tell me, are my parents, brothers, grandparents, and other relatives still alive?"
