CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 196: CHARACTER TESTING_3

"Bai Ying."

Li Qingyi hurriedly stopped Bai Ying from continuing to speak.

Uncle Eight laughed, "You must be Bai Jingtian’s granddaughter, right? Just like your grandfather."

"No matter how my grandfather is, he wouldn’t deceive juniors here," Bai Ying said with a pout.

"Uncle Eight, could you tell us why you can’t figure it out?" Li Qingyi stopped Bai Ying and then asked.

"Your surname is Li, and the person you are looking for is also Li. Two trees make a forest, and in a deep forest, one cannot see the path. Twins are indistinguishable, difficult to find one’s confidant. You’re not just looking for someone; you’re searching for your beloved, and your own feelings have not yet settled. How could I possibly discern where your beloved is?" Uncle Eight smiled.

"I’m just looking for someone. Uncle Eight, if you don’t want to do the reading, that’s fine, but there’s no need to placate a junior like me." Li Qingyi’s cheeks slightly flushed, and she said with feigned composure.

"Whether it’s accurate or not, you’ll find out in the future. I’ll also give you a few words of a fortune." After pausing, Uncle Eight continued, "Riches and immortals are both in separate worlds, good and bad have their reasons. A wide heart can counter a hundred ailments; indeed, you are a person with fortune."

"Please interpret the fortune for me, Uncle Eight," Li Qingyi said.

"Your destined noble person is your fated one." After pondering for a moment, Uncle Eight said, "The saying ’melons and plums’ should be familiar to you. Don’t crouch to tie your shoelaces when passing through a melon field, lest others think you’re picking melons. Don’t raise your hand to adjust your hat under a plum tree, lest others believe you’re picking plums. Melons are green, hats under the plums; your fated one should have a green hat."

Li Qingyi’s expression fluctuated, and beside her, Bai Ying widened her eyes at the mention of "green hat" and said to Li Qingyi, "Doesn’t Li Xiu have a green hat? You’re not..."

"No way, this reading must be inaccurate. Uncle Eight, we came to have you divine words to find someone, but you’re joking with us juniors; that’s a bit inappropriate, isn’t it?" Li Qingyi said, looking at the curtain.

"I’ve already done the reading. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but my skills have rusted over the years; it might indeed not be accurate." Uncle Eight chuckled.

"Surely inaccurate, how could someone like Li Xiu be worthy of the president’s daughter from our Changsheng Tian? You must have calculated wrong." Bai Ying said with a pout.

"So, it’s the president’s daughter, my apologies if I have offended you, Miss." Uncle Eight said.

"Uncle Eight, you’re overpraising; Qingyi has one last question to ask." Li Qingyi said.

"Please go ahead, Miss." Uncle Eight replied solemnly.

"Is the person Bai Ying and I are considering the same person?" Li Qingyi stared intently at the curtain, as if trying to see through it.

Li Xiu’s heart tightened upon hearing this: "Sure enough, Li Qingyi is already suspecting that I am the Magic Armor Master who stole the Super Spirit Gemstone. But how did she guess this? I didn’t show any flaws."

"Apologies, Miss, but I really cannot answer that question. If you truly wish to know, do another word reading." Uncle Eight mused.

"Never mind, Uncle Eight, we’ll take our leave." Li Qingyi turned to leave.

"Shameless old man, still trying to trick us out of our gemstone? Don’t even think about it; I’ll tell my grandfather to come settle this with you." Bai Ying made a face at the curtain and turned to chase after Li Qingyi.

"Haha, if Bai Jingtian dares to come, I might just have to set off firecrackers in celebration." Uncle Eight laughed loudly.

After Li Qingyi and Bai Ying exited through the door, it automatically shut behind them.

Only then did Uncle Eight sit back down, looking at the two. "The master has not returned, you probably can’t take this pearl now. Do you plan to wait for the master to come back, or would you like me to give you a tip?"

"Please, Uncle Eight, enlighten us?" Li Xiu looked at Uncle Eight.

"Have you seen those two boxes of gemstones outside the door? One of you should take a box of rubies and go into the red wooden house. The other should take the sapphires and go into the blue wooden house. Use these two boxes of gemstones to exchange for something from each person in those wooden houses, then I will give you this pearl. After the female master returns, I will explain myself to her." Uncle Eight said.

"Are there other guests in the nearby houses? This master sure knows how to entertain guests." Chu Jun asked with a smile, "Uncle Eight, since you’re neighbors with them, sitting in the same place, why don’t you do the exchange yourself?"

"If I could go, would I need you? I can’t leave this door." Uncle Eight sighed.

"You can’t leave?" Chu Jun was perplexed, standing and walking to the doorway, going in and out without anything happening.

"Uncle Eight, the door doesn’t seem extraordinary; why can’t you leave?" Chu Jun asked Uncle Eight.

"Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand. Just let me know if you’re willing to help me make the exchange. If you’re willing, go ahead and do it; if not, just leave." Uncle Eight seemed a bit annoyed as he spoke coldly.

"Uncle Eight, what would you have us exchange?" Li Xiu looked at Uncle Eight and asked.

"Go to the red wooden house and get me a bowl of water, and let that boy go into the blue wooden house to get a leaf." Uncle Eight said.

"Uncle Eight, can I go to both rooms myself to do the exchange?" Li Xiu asked calmly.

With the Speed of Light No. 2 on him, even encountering a Super Spirit wouldn’t intimidate him; he wanted to see what Uncle Eight was up to.

"Of course, but if you go into both wooden houses alone, I fear you might not come out and end up delaying my matter." Uncle Eight said.

"What do you mean by that? Why wouldn’t I come out if I entered both houses?" Li Xiu questioned in confusion.

"One of those wooden houses is located in an extreme yin position, and the other in an extreme yang position. If one body experiences extreme yin and extreme yang in such a short time, even if you don’t die, you’re unlikely to escape a serious illness." Uncle Eight ambiguously explained.

"It doesn’t matter; just confirm that once I exchange it properly, you’ll give me the pearl?" Li Xiu stood up and asked.

"Correct." Uncle Eight nodded.

"Alright, then I’ll go and make the exchange for you." Saying that, Li Xiu walked towards the door.

"Wait, write a character first. Let me ascertain the omen for you." Uncle Eight called out to Li Xiu, who was picking up the box and heading towards the red wooden house.
