Qiao Ya put the cup of tea down in front of the old fortune-teller, then walked out and closed the door of Gu Ning’s office.
“Why did you go there?” asked the old fortune-teller with a serious expression.
“It’s my personal affair. Just tell me why you came,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t trust the old fortune-teller. Besides, she went to the haunted construction site in order to deal with the male ghost, which was a secret that she wouldn’t tell other people.
Since Gu Ning was unwilling to tell him, the old fortune-teller didn’t force her to do that. “Fine, did you know that the place was unlucky when you went there?”
“Yeah.” Gu Ning nodded.
“Did you encounter anything abnormal?” asked the old fortune-teller.
“What’s your point?” Gu Ning lost her patience.
The old fortune-teller smiled. “Young girl, I know that you’re annoyed at my sudden visit, and you don’t want me to read your face and hands. I don’t mind, but I came to see you today for something really important. Can’t you be nice to me?”
In fact, his ability was limited, and he couldn’t see much about what would happen to Gu Ning in the future. If he could really tell Gu Ning’s fortune by looking at her face, he would have a lot to say after meeting her several times.
Gu Ning calmed herself down and softened her voice. “Fine, can you directly tell me what else happened in your dream about me?”
“Alright, I’ll be honest with you, but it’s quite incredible in many people’s eyes, so you must be mentally-prepared. Even though you can’t believe it, you must let me finish,” the old fortune-teller said.
“Sure,” Gu Ning replied.
“An ancient grave was dug out from the construction site not a long time ago, and there was a dry body in the coffin. I went there too, and I found the soul of the male body was left and stuck in the grave pit, but my ability is limited and I couldn’t do anything about it. The strange thing is that I suddenly felt that the dry body was different yesterday, and it began to rot…”
Saying that, the old fortune-teller focused on Gu Ning’s face to see her expressions. To his surprise, Gu Ning looked quite calm, and he continued, “I wanted to know what happened, so I got some hair from the dry body and learned that you’ve been to the construction site two days ago. I went to the construction site early this morning again, and I found the soul of the body was gone. It must have something to do with your appearance, so I was afraid that it might possess your body. I’m worried about your safety, and that’s the reason why I must see you today.”
When the old fortune-teller finished, Gu Ning still looked calm on the surface, but she was actually astonished in her heart. She knew that this old man wasn’t an ordinary man, but she was still amazed by his ability. In addition, he came to see her because he was worried about her safety, which made Gu Ning feel guilty for her bad attitude earlier.
“Well, I’m sorry for my bad attitude earlier. I didn’t know that you came here to see me for my safety.” Gu Ning apologized to him. She believed that the old man was very kind to her.
“Do you believe my words?”
The old fortune-teller didn’t care about Gu Ning’s attitude towards him, but he was surprised that Gu Ning stayed calm and believed his words without any questions.
“Is what you just told me true?” Gu Ning asked him all of a sudden.
“Of course it’s true!” the old fortune-teller said at once. He really wanted Gu Ning to trust him.
“Great, I believe you,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t look scared or surprised from the beginning to the end, which made the old fortune-teller feel strange.
“Why don’t you look surprised or scared at all?” the old fortune-teller asked. He thought that Gu Ning should at least show fright or shock on her face. However, it seemed that Gu Ning was already aware of the existence of ghosts.
“Well, if you think that the male ghost is able to possess my body, can you see it in my body now?” Gu Ning asked the old fortune-teller.
In fact, the male ghost was in her telepathic eye space now, but she believed that the old fortune-teller couldn’t see that.
“No, I don’t see it, or I wouldn’t be so calm while talking with you now,” the old fortune-teller said. “Hey, can you tell me why you look so calm?”
“Because I’ve met a man like you before and he told me many things about ghosts, I can accept it,” Gu Ning said. That was a lie.
Hearing that, the old fortune-teller nodded.
“Oh, why did you go to the construction site?” the old fortune-teller asked curiously.
Gu Ning said, “I want that land, and I plan to build a hotel there, but everyone told me that it was haunted, so I went there to have a look.”
