” a lie is a lie. as long as it’s a lie, it will be exposed one day. ” chi jiao said helplessly, ” now that things have come to this, there’s no point in us being conflicted. we can only wait and see, and take one step at a time. ”
“what if it backfires and we fail to dispel my little aunt’s suspicion? what if we give ourselves away?” xu ye asked worriedly.
“if we’re really that unlucky, we’ll have to come clean with auntie. of course, we can’t tell auntie the truth.” chi jiao said.
“i can understand. let’s do as you say.” xu ye nodded.
” then come with me to my shop first. i haven’t opened my shop for a long time. it’s time to visit the divine trigram hall. ” chi jiao left the room, giving xu ye enough time to shower and pack his luggage.
an hour later, chi jiao left building 117 with xu ye and went to the divine trigram hall.
during chi jiao’s absence, the divine trigram hall wasn’t always closed, but the waiters were responsible for looking after the shop. they were also ability users with special abilities and could solve the general small problems. if they encountered a problem that they couldn’t solve, they would contact chi jiao and chi jiao would take the time to solve it.
the divine trigram hall didn’t encounter any troublesome matters in the past few days. after chi jiao came to the divine trigram hall, she began to divine the fortunes of the guests who happened to come to the divine trigram hall today, helping them to see their future.
chi jiao had been busy all day. in the evening, when the shop was about to close, a middle-aged couple led a young man into the divine trigram hall.
the young man looked very weak. he coughed three times with every step he took, making people worry about his health.
when xu ye saw the middle-aged couple walking over with the teenager, he lowered his voice and asked, ” “jiaojiao, this person seems to be quite seriously ill?”
although xu ye didn’t know what was going on with the young man, he could tell that the young man’s face was too pale. people couldn’t help but worry about his health.
chi jiao nodded without hesitation. ” he’s beyond saving. there’s no cure. ”
xu ye saw that chi jiao was so decisive and couldn’t help but feel that the young man in front of him was a little pitiful.
the young man’s face was very pale. it was not winter yet, but he was already wearing thick clothes and a wool hat. he must have gone through many chemotherapy sessions, which caused all his hair to fall out, so he had to wear a hat to cover it up.
the middle-aged couple helped their son to sit down in front of chi jiao and said very politely, ” ” master, hello. we’re here to see you today to take a look at our son’s illness. we heard that you’re not only good at fortune-telling, but you can also break through karmic barriers and treat illnesses. ”
the divine trigram hall did not only perform divinations and help people solve so-called supernatural events. the most important thing was that their business also included the treatment of some difficult and miscellaneous diseases.
in contrast to the polite attitude of the couple, the young man was extremely impatient. ” “dad, mom, are you two old and muddled? how could such a small and broken shop have a cure? hey, you’re so young and you’re already out here swindling people. aren’t you afraid that your family will suffer retribution?”
” what are you saying?! ” xu ye was anxious and stood up to argue with the teenager.
even if the young man was sick and in a bad mood, he shouldn’t have said such hurtful words!
to think that xu ye had just thought that this young man was beyond cure and was somewhat pitiful!
“i’m not wrong, what can she be at such a young age? he’s definitely a charlatan.” as the young man spoke, he didn’t forget to roll his eyes at chi jiao.
