"Clairvoyant Eye!
That's right!
Ye Luo truly had a pair of eyes that could see through everything, even into people's hearts.
After continuing to learn skills from his master and accidentally falling off a cliff... he had an experience that gave him a pair of unique eyes and miraculous acupuncture skills!
Seeing that both of them believed him, Ye Luo could only puff up his cheeks to look the part and said with forced bravado, "Of course, it's just fortune-telling, my old specialty."
"Then do a reading for me!" Liu Xiner immediately said.
Ye Luo immediately shook his head, "It's not that I won't help you, but fortune-telling isn't something you can do just by counting on your fingers, you must touch a person's lifeline to read it."
"Is that so? Then touch my lifeline quickly!" Liu Xiner said immediately.
"No, can't do that." Ye Luo shook his head repeatedly, his eyes darting around, thinking of ways to refuse.
"Why can't you? Could it be that fortune-telling is selective?" Liu Xiner was almost driven mad by his tantalizing hints!
Liu Shiyun also looked on with curiosity.
"It's not selective, but it's because men and women shouldn't easily touch each other, I need to carefully feel your palm lines," Ye Luo said. "Moreover, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed; reading your fortune would come at a huge cost to me, unless you pretend to be my girlfriend for a day, otherwise it's too much of a loss for me."
Liu Xiner blinked, then was taken aback.
The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, so she has to be his girlfriend for a day to get a reading? What kind of logic is that?
Passengers nearby had been paying attention to Ye Luo all this time.
When they heard that reading a fortune would exchange for a day's worth of a girlfriend, the men all showed looks of envy and longing; they too wanted to learn fortune-telling!
No wonder, the girl was so beautiful; she looked just like a star. Not to mention having a girlfriend for a day, even an hour would be worth it!
After all, with the status of boyfriend and girlfriend, many things could be done, right?
Just when everyone thought Liu Xiner would definitely say "forget it," the next scene made many people almost drop their jaws in surprise!
Liu Xiner, after a moment's hesitation, suddenly grabbed Ye Luo's hand and boldly said, "Alright, I agree! Hurry up and do my reading! I'm your girlfriend for today!"
Liu Shiyun was also full of astonishment.
Her sister's action was indeed beyond her expectations!
Let alone the bystanders, even Ye Luo, as the concerned party, was dumbfounded.
He had only wanted to find a random excuse to fob off Liu Xiner, hoping she would give up on the fortune-telling by herself, but he hadn't expected her to agree just like that!
What fortune-telling, what secrets of heaven, all were nonsense!
If he could tell fortunes, would he still need to sell medicine along the way to make money?!
But honestly...
Liu Xiner's little hand was so soft, soft like cotton, tender like it had no bones, so different from his own rough hands.
He hadn't properly touched it when treating her before, but now that it wasn't him who took the initiative, his hand became restless with the opportunity it got...
"Help me see, when will this... this illness of mine get better?" came a voice clear as crystal water.
Ye Luo paused in his actions, and when he looked at Liu Xiner, what he saw was her innocent, trusting face and the pair of immaculate eyes brimming with hope.
"Ahem..."
This wasn't fun anymore, why so serious!"
It was embarrassing to even touch it anymore!
Ye Luo coughed lightly and moved his hand away, then said seriously, "You should know your own condition. Medication and surgery simply cannot completely remove it, but you can rest assured, come find me after three months, and I'll have full confidence in curing you."
"Really?!" Liu Xiner and her sister Liu Shiyun immediately lit up with surprise.
Liu Xiner's illness was different from her sister's. Although the latter's illness was fatal, it was far less painful. Liu Xiner suffered from "Brain Freeze Syndrome," a special disease that relapsed every day!
Every time the disease flared up, Liu Xiner felt as though she was trapped in an ice cellar that had been frozen for centuries, her entire body slashed by countless ice blades.
Apart from physical pain, the torment was unbearable both mentally and on the soul!
Whenever that happened, Liu Xiner often thought she might as well just end her life!
"By the way, Ye Luo, what are you doing taking the train to Zhonghai?" Liu Shiyun, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly asked.
"I don't know..." Ye Luo said helplessly.
His master had sent him down the mountain to find someone in Zhonghai City, but he had no idea who exactly that person was, whether they were male or female, tall, or chubby.
In any case, he was just supposed to find that person and then follow their arrangements.
The two sisters looked at each other, both showing astonished expressions. He didn't even know what he was supposed to do—wasn't that a bit unreliable?!
"Ye Luo, how about this: since it's just for three months, why not stay with us? We'll take care of your food and lodging, just ask for whatever you want. The Liu family might not be much in all of Huaxia, but in Zhonghai City, we definitely have a say!" Liu Xiner said generously.
Yet Ye Luo expressed skepticism. "With so much money, why are you even taking the train?"
Liu Xiner immediately pouted her lips and said, "We originally asked someone to buy us plane tickets, but something went wrong and in the end, we ended up with train tickets—and they were all fake scalped tickets too! It's infuriating!"
Ye Luo was speechless.
"How about it? Join us. You could help me if I suddenly fall ill," Liu Xiner said with a hopeful face.
The response she received, however, was Ye Luo's refusal: "I'm sorry, although I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I must meet someone. This is my old man's instruction to me."
"Ah? Then... then... how do I find you after three months?" Liu Xiner panicked, "Do you have a cell phone? WeChat or QQ would work too."
"Never used them." Ye Luo shook his head—he had no such gadgets as there was no electricity on the mountain.
"Then… what do you have?" Liu Xiner gave Ye Luo a look and instantly felt like crying.
This guy was dressed like someone who had crossed over from the last century.
Ye Luo opened his robe to reveal a super-large pocket sewn into his undergarment, bulging as if it contained quite a few items.
Quickly.
Ye Luo reached into the pocket to rummage around and then drew out two bottles, resembling ancient elixir vials.
One was red, the other blue.
"Here, these two bottles are for you," Ye Luo handed the bottles over.
"These are…?"
Both women looked at Ye Luo, puzzled.
Ye Luo explained, "The red one is for ingestion. Taking one pill can suppress the illness for a month, and there are exactly three pills inside. The blue bottle contains something called 'Fengzhong Xiang,' a liquid. Once you apply it on your body, as long as you're in Zhonghai City, I will be able to smell it! As for bathing and the like, just keep it as usual. This stuff can last about half a year."
"You can smell it in Zhonghai?!" Liu Shiyun and Liu Xiner both showed shocked expressions.
Ye Luo neither confirmed nor denied, simply nodding his head.
It wasn't just his eyes that had the clairvoyant ability; his nose had also become incredibly sensitive…
