Chương 10: Chapter 10: Feng Shui Street
Fu Rong was really very happy. She had no good feelings towards those classmates who sat idly and even enjoyed seeing her suffer in her previous life. She despised that English teacher who was bribed by the powerful and helped her aunt break her down. Being able to leave that unpleasant place in her past life, she was genuinely relieved and had nothing to worry about.
Further, she had also realized that the grades given can sometimes accommodate something disproportionate to human virtue. When she transferred to the Normal class, she knew she would be queried as to why she had done so. She realized long ago that going out of her way to speculate about the sum of human evil was not something she needed to be committed to. However, to her shock, all the students in the Normal class never considered her a new student who had transferred from another school. They graciously received her and did what was expected of them. They could have revealed the surfaced scars on Fu Rong, but they did not, even the slightest.
Besides, she wasn't the former Fu Rong, who was terrible in interpersonal relationships, timid, shy, and introverted. Having experienced violent storms and waves, having suffered in the past, and being a lone ghost for 1000 years, she became quite lively in nature too. So, she was pretty comfortable in the Normal class and made a few normal friends.
In addition to that, the study management of the normal class was especially less tense than both the elite class and the international class. Thus, it was very easy to ask for an absence, and this particularly pleased Fu Rong. She did not wish to be a bored student in school, learning everything again. So, she decided to take a leave of absence every three or four days. Fortunately, the homeroom teacher managed to persuade her not to at first, but due to Fu Rong's persistence, there wasn't much that either of them could do but let her go.
After school, Fu Rong went to Feng Shui street, which was always filled with feng shui fortune tellers and diviners. It had plenty of stalls with people who carried ink, brushes, yellow papers, tarot cards, talismans, artifacts, fortune sticks, copper coins, etc., to tell people's fortune and write talismans to ward off evil. Of course, most of them were fake, but with common people's interest, they made their sales.
Today seemed a little different. There was a new stall with a young, beautiful little girl who wore a school uniform with a high ponytail, setting up a board that read "Divination for Life and Ghost Exorcism." The street stalls were mostly set up by middle-aged and older people who looked like they had seen the world and attracted customers who were really superstitious, since young generations nowadays are not interested in superstition and believe only in materialism and science.
Fu Rong set up her stall and adjusted the board in front of it. The old man who was near her stall saw that she was still a school kid. "Little girl, what are you doing here? Do you know this place is for fortune tellers? Are you here to experience life or try new things? Did you drop out of school and want to make a living? Do your parents know you're here?"
Fu Rong frowned at the series of questions aimed at her. She could see that the old man was concerned about whether she had run away from school, and also, he looked down on her for being young. Skills needed years to practice. He never knew she was a celestial master who everyone feared and had lived as a ghost for 1000 years, practicing her skills to the extreme and refining unique methods.
"I am a fortune teller," she told the old man, Master Su, and continued setting up her stall.
"Aha... children nowadays are taking different paths. Did you watch those movies on television and want to become a fortune teller or watch horror movies and want to become a Daoist priest and catch ghosts?" He laughed and continued, "The young generation nowadays learns new methods from western countries. What method do you use for fortune telling? Are you from a young generation of a fortune-telling family like this Old Li? Did you come here to practice your skills?" Master Su pointed at an old man near him and asked her.
Why does he nag her like a granny of old age instead of being a stall keeper? She felt an immediate need to change stalls with someone else but suppressed it with effort and continued to answer him with a polite smile. "No, I do traditional Chinese fortune telling."
With that, she took out her cinnamon pen that she bought from the store and started writing basic talismans, which didn't require so much of her yang energy. She originally had a pure yin body, which had less yang energy. After being a ghost for 1000 years, she had more condensed yin energy rather than yang energy. After her rebirth, she had been rather busy with her school, enemies, and dad and had delayed her cultivation for yang energy.
Master Su looked at her with doubt and turned to his stall to continue his business. There was a fairly large number of customers on the first day Fu Rong opened her business, but these customers only looked at her briefly and then went on to buy things at the other stalls since she was too young to be a fortune teller.
