After leaving the Drunken Immortal Inn, Wang Ye headed east and headed straight for the Sky Bridge.
The Sky Bridge was one of the most prosperous places in Jinling City.
Street performers and hawkers could be seen everywhere, and there was an endless stream of traveling merchants and foreigners.
People from all walks of life came and went. As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of people. It was very lively.
After passing through the bustling crowd, Wang Ye stopped in front of a fortune-telling stall.
The fortune-telling stall was on the side of the road. There was a table with a white cloth banner hanging above it. There were four words written on it: Immortal Guides the Way!
Under the white cloth banner, a skinny old man dressed in black sat at the table, waiting for customers to come.
The old man was thin and weak, and his eyes were gray. At first glance, he looked very frightening.
This old man was Blind Chen, the fortune-teller.
Seeing Blind Chen's appearance, the corners of Wang Ye's mouth curled up into a smile.
If one were to say that Blind Chen's fortune-telling ability was based on nothing but his mouth.
However, this old blind man sat on the Sky Bridge every day to do fortune-telling. He could come into contact with people from all walks of life. He was the most well-informed.
There were many things that were unknown to the public that could be answered by him.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye sat directly in front of the fortune-telling stall.
"Old Chen, how's the business today?"
Wang Ye asked as he sat in front of the fortune-telling stall.
"This voice sounds familiar!"
Hearing this, Blind Chen's ears twitched. He grinned and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "You must be Shopkeeper Wang of the Drunken Immortal Inn!"
"Not bad, Old Chen. You can actually recognize my voice!"
Hearing Blind Chen's words, Wang Ye said with a smile.
"Of course. I have cultivated for many years, and my Path is profound. I already have the body of a half-immortal."
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen's smile became more and more presumptuous. "Isn't it easy to recognize your voice?"
As he spoke, Blind Chen stroked his goatee, pretending to be profound.
It was as if he was really an otherworldly expert.
"Just drop it!"
When he heard Blind Chen's words, Wang Ye rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "If you were a demi-immortal, would you still need to set up a stall here to do fortune-telling?"
"Were you the one who was chased around by dogs a while ago?!"
"Cough!"
As soon as Wang Ye said this, Blind Chen coughed and said, "That's not called being chased by a dog. That's called crossing the divine punishment … You don't understand the affairs of cultivators!"
"You should know that even the Jade Emperor had to go through a calamity to attain the Dao …"
As he spoke, Blind Chen began to change the topic.
"Alright, alright … The more you say, the more ridiculous it gets … So the Jade Emperor's tribulation was being chased by a dog?"
As he spoke, Wang Ye waved his hand impatiently. "I have something to ask you!"
"Three taels of silver per question."
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen nimbly extended three fingers.
"Hey, you Blind Chen!"
Wang Ye immediately lost his temper at the price Blind Chen offered. He glared at him and said, "Isn't it two taels of silver per question?"
"Well, I was chased by a dog a while ago … I got injured while crossing the divine punishment."
As he spoke, Blind Chen's impudent smile became even more wretched.
What the f * ck!
Upon hearing Blind Chen's words, Wang Ye felt helpless.
So this old blind man had included the cost of the medicinal soup he was chased by a dog a while ago!
Damn it, he had always been meticulous in his calculations, but he had been tricked by this old man.
Although Wang Ye was unhappy, he was also unusually helpless.
After all, in the vast Jinling City, there were few people who were more well-informed than this old blind man.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye took out two pieces of silver and handed them to Blind Chen unhappily. "Fine, you old blind man. Here are six taels of silver. I'll ask you two questions!"
"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Wang!"
After receiving the money, Blind Chen nimbly put the silver into his pocket. "What would Shopkeeper Wang like to ask?"
"The first question …"
Looking at Blind Chen's wretched expression, Wang Ye said, "What happened in Jinling City recently?
Why do people from the underworld come here so frequently? "
"Shopkeeper Wang, are you afraid after encountering people from the underworld?"
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen stroked his goatee and said leisurely.
"Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Wang Ye sighed and said, "I only have one business, the Drunken Immortal Inn, and I'm counting on it to retire. Now that people from the underworld are coming and going, I don't want to be implicated and become the second Yuelai Inn …"
"Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, don't worry."
In response to Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen nodded and said, "Nothing big happened in Jinling City. There are two reasons why people from the underworld come here!"
"What are the two reasons?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye asked.
"This is the third question …"
Upon hearing Wang Ye's question, Blind Chen stroked his goatee and said leisurely, "You have to pay more!"
"Hey, you Blind Chen, are you trying to raise the price?!"
Upon hearing Blind Chen's words, Wang Ye's eyes widened. "How is this the third question?"
"You don't f * cking tell fortunes anymore. Have you changed to scamming people?!"
"Shopkeeper Wang, you misunderstand."
Upon seeing Wang Ye's expression, Blind Chen stroked his goatee and said, "First, you asked me what happened in Jinling City. This is the first question …"
"Then, you asked me why people from the underworld come here frequently. This is the second question."
"In addition to what you just asked, this is the third question. It's time to pay more."
As he spoke, a wretched smile appeared on Blind Chen's face.
What the f * ck!
Upon hearing Blind Chen's words, Wang Ye suddenly felt helpless.
Although Blind Chen was blind, he did have some of Ye Futian's demeanor when it came to accounting.
Wang Ye reluctantly took out three taels of silver and placed them in Blind Chen's hand. Then, he said, "Here's the money. Hurry up and tell me!"
"Okay!"
After touching the silver, Blind Chen responded and continued, "The first thing is the retirement ceremony for Li Huaikong, the leader of the Sacred Flame Sect, to retire!"
Sacred Flame Sect?
Li Huaikong?
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye was slightly stunned.
Li Huaikong could be considered an old friend. When Wang Ye was still the leader of the Demonic Sect, he had some dealings with him. Wang Ye didn't expect that he would retire now.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye just curled his lips and didn't think too much about it.
Now, he had already faked his death and left the Jianghu. These things had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye looked at Blind Chen in front of him and said, "What about the second thing?"
"Hehehe!"
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Blind Chen instantly let out a wretched smile.
However, he stretched out his skinny palm toward Wang Ye and said with a wretched smile, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is the fourth question. According to the rules, you still have to pay more!"
"Hey, you Blind Chen!"
After hearing the words "pay more" again, Wang Ye couldn't stay calm anymore.
He suddenly stood up and said, "Are you f * cking done yet?"
