章節 118: Making Findings
This question caused Old Man Su to ponder. He held his beard filled chin in contemplation.
At this point Zhang Zhengyang guessed what Zhao Xing was up to. No wonder she let Xiao Qi go. In this world, apart from his missing master, only three people knew of Zhao Xing's ability, and those people were himself, Zhao Xing and Xiao Chen. Although he didn't directly prohibit her from spreading the information, she knew she couldn't let anyone know about it. But today she went ahead and was indirectly asking Old Man Su about her power. He was also sure that the so called 'book' of hers was made up.
After a moment of racking his brain, Old Man Su finally answered. "Predicting the future? Well many people claim to be able to do so. But I've heard of people who claimed to have had their future successfully predicted, if you go to a temple maybe you could have your future predicted, or maybe a priest? But some of them aren't legitimate. As for people reliving their past, such a thing, I'm not really sure if it exists."
Zhao Xing nodded. She thought there'd be at least one person who claimed to have gone to the past or even the future. But she thought some more and discovered that even the books she read a lot of time travelers never tell anyone about their true identities. So maybe, even those who were time travelers or even transmigrators wouldn't say a word about it.
'I'm not even sure if I'm actually a time traveler… probably got thrown into another world' But that didn't matter, she just hoped she could get news of Zhang Zhengyang's master.
"So you haven't seen anyone who claims to see people's future or anything?" Zhao Xing asked once more. She really couldn't believe that this didn't exist.
"Apart from the temple, meet a monk or an abbot, or a Taoist priest? Or magicians, sorcerers, and so on." Old Man Su saw Zhao Xing's anxious expression, he guessed that she wasn't just asking out of pure curiosity. His eyes turned to Zhang Zhengyang, and smiled slyly. "Little girl, if there's anything you want, you have this big shot to hold onto, why bother this old man?"
"What is his use? If he was so useful I wouldn't come to you." Zhao Xing said while glaring at Zhang Zhengyang who sat beside her.
Zhang Zhengyang smiled not saying a word.
Old Man Su silently watched their exchange as his smile grew wider. "Heh, it's indeed as they say."
"Huh?" Zhao Xing gave him a questioning look. Zhang Zhengyang also stared at him in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm also part of the society how wouldn't I know what gossip is going on in town."
Zhang Zhengyang's brows involuntarily creased. He didn't visit here often, and left it to the couple, he also didn't ask much about what Old Man Su did during his stay, his focus was mainly on the poison, who would have thought this man was such a busybody?
"Aiya, no wonder! I poisoned Zhao girl and young master got so anxious, before I thought there could be some other relationship…actually I didn't think much of it, but after hearing form the people in the neighborhood as well as the couple, I discovered that things weren't as simple as they seemed. I still had doubts, but today aren't things revealed?"
Zhao Xing only just understood what the old man was blabbering about, her eyes widened slightly and her brows folded together. "Old Man Su also believes what they say?"
Old Man Su rarely found things to amuse him, now such an opportunity was presented to him, if he didn't make use of it, wouldn't it be a waste? He laughed out loud. "If that's the way I am, how could people come to me for information like you said? I have proof!"
Zhao Xing grimaced and didn't bother to continue on the topic.
"Tch, forget it." She was always getting these remarks wherever she want these days. Even those close to her. She wondered if her cute maids haven't been contaminated. She also hoped Tang Rongyi wouldn't come visit her and hand over her cousin brother to her.
She turned to Zhang Zhengyang with a look full of despise and annoyance. Wasn't it his fault? Making everyone misunderstand.
Zhang Zhengyang caught her looking at him this way and chuckled.
Zhao Xing inhaled as if trying her best to contain certain emotions she didn't want to let out. "Quickly tell him how that man looks." She said through gritted teeth.
Zhang Zhengyang knew she was talking about his master, he didn't have any objections about her plan to inquire of his master's whereabouts from Old Man Su. "Zhao Xing is looking for an old wanderer." He brought out a piece of folded paper from his sleeve, and unwrapped it, a drawing of an old man with kind looking eyes appeared on it. "He looks like this."
Old Man Su took the portrait and had a good look at it. While the two patiently waited for his answer.
The old man pursed his lips and shook his head. "No, I haven't seen such a person before."
Zhang Zhengyang expected it. Even he couldn't find a single clue for so long, Old Man Su stopped traveling too much for a while, the last time he did so was to look for his granddaughter, and he hadn't gone far, and even those who helped him acquire information weren't by his side, how could he have seen his master?
"Doesn't he have a name?" He asked.
Zhang Zhangyang shook his head, puzzling both Zhao Xing and Old Man Su.
"You…!" You don't even know your master's name??
Zhao Xing refrained from completing this statement, she still didn't want to divulge the fact that the person they were looking for was Zhang Zhengyang's master. But still, what was the relationship between this 'master' and Zhang Zhengyang that he wouldn't even know his name?
Old Man Su chuckled, "Then I really can't help. But if you don't mind, I could take this portrait with me, and ask my men to inquire about him."
Zhao Xing also turned to him to see what he thought about the idea.
Zhang Zhengyang thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "No need, he goes as he wishes and comes as he wants, looking for him would only be a waste of time and energy." He had never found his master before, rather it was his master that always came to find him.
Just that, he was too anxious this time around. But this should be the end of it. He had already come to a conclusion that his master was such a mysterious person. Who knows where he could be at the moment. Someone that was capable of seeing the future, wasn't it possible that he already knew what they were up to? If he didn't want to be found, then he won't let them find him.
Maybe if Zhao Xing didn't ask about it today he wouldn't bother finding his master at all.
